THE DREAM OF LIFE.
RY GEO. d. PRENTICE.

Twas but a bubple-yet twas bright;
And gaily danced along the stream
OF life's wild torrent in the light
OF sunbeams sparkling-like a dream
or heavens own bliss, for lovelness-
For feetness like passing thought;
And ever of such dreams as these
The tissue of my life is wrought.
For have dreamed Of pleasure when
The Sun of young existence smiled
Upon my wayward path, and then a..
Her promised sweets my heart beguiled,
But when came those sweets to sip,
They turned to gall upon my lip.
And have dreamed OF Friendship, too;
For Friendship, had thought, was made
To be mans solacc in the shade,
And glad him in the light and SO,
l fondly thought to find friend
Whose soul with mine would sweetly blend,
And as two placid streams unite.
And roll their waters in one bright
And tranquil current to the sea,
So might our happy spirits be
Borne onward TO eternity
But he betrayed me, and with pain
l woke-to sleep and dream again.
And then dreamed of love, and all
The clustered visions OF the past
Seemed airy nothings to that last
Bright dream 1t threw a magical
Enchantment DER existence cast
A glory on my path so bright
seemed to breathe aud feel its light;
But now that blissful dream is DER,
And l have walked to dream no more.
Beyond the farthest glimmering star
That wrinkles in the arch above,
There is world Of truth and love
Which earIhs vile passions never mar.
Oh, could | snatch the eagles plumes,
And soar to that bright world away
Which Gods own holy light illumes
With glories of eternal day
How gladly every lingering tie
That binds me down to earth I'd sever
And leave for that best home on high,
This holow-h hearted world forever.

4 gentleman in Salemthinks he has dis
covered a method of saving plums from
being destroyed by the cErcnlio. If so he
has conferred a great benefit upon the low
ers of good fruit The Republican states
that last year he had in the market some
of the finest plums offered tor sale. He
preserved thep from the sting of the cur
culio by SIMPLY burning tar under the
trees at the time the fruit was shaping.
he continues the process for three days,
but thinks it would have besh sill better
had he commenced a little earlier and
burnt a few days longer. The process is
q simple one and cheap. Swarms Of the
insects were seen leaving the trees as the
fires were kindled. The result was, a
large, healthy and luscious crop Of plumbs,
whilst n%eighboring orchards nearly. or
quite failed. We commend to our read
ers a trial Of this mode.

TEE DEHocRArIc PLATFoRx.-Some
of the leading New York Democrats
are in Washington with what they are
giving out as the Democratic platform
to be presented at their National Con.
Vention on the 4thof July. According
to their story, the planks are these:
The first is a declaration against human
slavery; the second, a declaration that
the Confederate debt is void third,
that the National debt is to be paid
exactly as prescribed by law /; forth,
for qualified manhood suffrage, to be
controlled by the States. Upon this
basis they say they are sure a great
party can be built up, that shall not
only gather nearly all the Democratic
strength by itself but also secure large
conservative Republican support. They
also say that they are looking for the
most available candidates TO run on
such a platform.

The LATEST DoDGE.-An exchange
says that the latest dodge of confidence is
the following: A man contrives to loose
S ten or a twenty dollar counterfeit bill
where he Is sure it will be found by one
who has the honor to be selected for his
victim. He then offers a reward of two,
three or FIVE dollars for the lost money.
Ifthe fncer keeps the bill, of course it is
no loss. If he be honestly inclined, and
returns It to the owner, the latter has no
change-the lost bill was all the money he
had in the world; would the finder be so
kind as to take his reward out Of the bill,
and give him back the change. This is
done by the unsuspecting victim, and the
sharper, with his good money, Stands not
upon the order Of his going" but lights
out" at once. In such cases, the princi-
pie laid down in the trite maxim, 'iHon-
esty is the best policy" is open to debate

A Coon REMEDY.-The editor of an
Iowa paper, who was very much an
nOyed by his neighbors' COWS stealing
his hay, has invented amethod where
by he keeps the bovines away. We
give the modus opsrandi, that those of
our citizens who are annoyed by cattle
breaking into their yards may try the
remedy:
A certain quadruped had. q sweet
tooth for our hsy-stack, and did much
damage, throwing down a seven-rsil
fence and roosting in our hay. We
bought q box of Cayenne pepper, took a
nice lot of hay, placed it outside the
fence, baptized" it with pepper and
watched. The animal came along and
pitched into the hay, when suddenly
she took the hint, and with nose at As
degrees and tail at 90 degrees, ''her
soul went marching on" at the rate OF
2:40. That COW has not come back.
