MIGHT AND MIND.
ny f. ALICE KINNEY.

BY +. ALICE KINNEY.
They tell us of victories won in the fight,
OF battle fields crimson with gore,
OF wrong that is crushed by the new risen
Right,
And the laurels that her patriots wore;
They say the pure lilies that shine in her
crest
Were born of the red gushing sea;
But where are the heroes that guarded her
breast?
Let us live and not die to be free.
All bright are the mountains beyond the
blue lakes
And girdled with splendor of spring,
The heights where glad Liberty's music
Songs that the nations shall sing.
But red glows the pathway where ages have
thrown
Shadows which never may cease;
Oh fair are the buds that in battle have
blown,
But fairer the lilies ofpeace.
There's dazzle OF glory eneircling the
wreath
That's Won in the conflicts of mon;
LIS, StAOIb tIic SMOEu as IL lcaDS IFOln lIS
sheath,
But stronger the might of the pen.
There's glimmer of balance imprisoned all
deep
In the minds where the digger hath
wrought;
Aye noble the hand that shall lose 1t from
sleep,
But nobler the miner of thought.
Power from her lightning winged thrones
hath been hurled
Till the will of an infant can bind;
Oh, grand is the force that is girdling the
world,
But grander the march of the mind,
There are fires like the fires in the heart of
the sun,
And tongues like the tongues of the sea;
The life Of tho age is only begun,
We're waiting the glories to be.

DRYING HERBS.

Herbs for drying for future use should
be cltjust about the time they are COM
ing into bloom. Dry them in the shade
and after sufficiently dry to put away,
tie them in punches and hang in cool
shed; or place them loosely between pa
per and stow away in ctipbeard or
drawers-thc last mode is by flr the
cleanest and most approved plan by
house keepers. Some, indeed, pow
der the leaves at once after drying, and
put away in bags ready for use.

TO PREVENT HORSES BEING TEAsED BY
FLIES.

Take two or three small handfuls Of
walnut leaves, upon which pour two or
three quarts of cold water; let it infuse
one night. and pour the whole, next
morning, into a kettle and let it boil for
quarter of an hour; when cold it will
be fit for use. N more is required than
to moisten a sponge, and before tho
horse goes out of the, stable, let those
parts that are most irritable be smeared
over with the liquor-viz: between the
ears, the neck, the flank, &c. Not only
the lady or gentleman who rides out lof
pleasure will derive benefit from the
walnut leaves thus prepared, but the
coachman, the WAGNER, and all others
who use horses during the hot months.

THE CURSE OF THE HOUR.

Under this head the New York Even
ing Mail talks as follows:
There is too much lying. On every
hand we moe. with eXaggeration, equiv
ocation, deception. We call it all lying,
and every man or woman who varies
one iota from the strictest fact and
truth is indeed liar. The expressman
agrees most solemuly to deliver trunk
for you at certain place by certain
hour. He del vers it the day after iJ Is
promised, and thus lies. The grocer
promises to send you the best tea in the
market. He takes the first his hand
falls upon, without any care for the
quality, and dispatches it to you with
out twingc. He is liar. The PRINT
er promises to do your work cheaper
than it can be done elsewhere in town.
He forgets his promise, charges you
what he pleascs, and lies. The tailor
agrees to deliver suit of clothes with
out any fail by six in the evening. You
get them in the morning, and the tailor
Is liar. The dentist pledges his word
that your teeth, as filled by him, will
be all right fora dozen of years. The
filling comes out iE six months, and the
dentist lies. A nan over the way is IN
need ola temporary loan. You lend
iiiHi - Sitits WIttCil It plVullScS UJ
everything to return at 4 given time.---
He keeps 1t a month over the time sta
ted, and is liar. An auctioneer tells
you that n certain picture is by mas
ter artist, when he knows it was paint
ed by a fourth rate painter. He lies
aid is not worthy oftrust. A salesman
lies about his goods, A bootmaker lies
about your boots. The ieweler lies
about your watch. The gossiper at the
dinner-table tells exaggerated stories to
astonish the ladies-and is nothing else
than liar. The florist assures you that
his flowers were picked early in the
morning, when they are nearly three
days old. He lies, and will lie about
anything. The book publisher adver-
tises that his book is selling by the tens
of thousands, when he has not sold a
thousand. He is liar and one door off
from the murderer.
Everywhere-everywhere we hear ly-
ing, lying, lying. Men and women who
would knock you down if you called
them liars, lie every hour. Deception
is the rule rather than the exception
Canvassers lie about insurance compan-
les. Brokers lie about stocks. Editors
lie about politics. Exaggeration aud
misrepresentation rule the hour and are
l. curse.
Gentlemen-Ladies-.whyc cannot the
truth be told always and ever? Why
all this deception and lying? Why SO
much falsifying and cheating?

mines, waylay some rich man who had bag full

DAY OF PRAYER.-The Young Mems Christian
Association, at their convention in Detroit, in
June last, resolved in favor of making the second
Sabbath in November, 1868, day Of prayer for
success in the conversion Of sinsers-the chief
work Of the association. Tomorrow is therefore
the day agreed on, and we presume our associa-
ton will bear it in mind.-Rim Union Of this
morning.
The zeal of the most pious aud exemplary
editors of the Union is highly commend
able-but if they will look in some almanac,
they will learn that tomorrow wU be the
third Sunday in Norember. There is no
objection, however, to their praying as often
