II ,s the time when birds are calling
Each to bis mate, b sweetheart mate,
when airs are sweet with blossoms falling,
And spring is waxing warm and late;
And care Is grown heavy thralling
That keeps from me my fair estate.
For in the old familiar places
Doth Nature list, TOR me doth list,
And in The woods untrodden spaces ~.
Are pathways where my feet are missed,
And little starry flower faces
That watch for me 10 Keep tryst.
Sweet valleys that the sky stoops over
So tenderly, SO tenderly, l- 10
And hiil-sides where the whitening Clover %
Already tempts the rowing bee,
My heart is still your faithful lover,
Remembering charms none else will see.
The Robin is my younger brother;
Blackbird and jay, sparrow and wren,
Each year to greet the dear old mother
Come all the children home again;
sShe calls to me 81 miss no other, i-
All, why 40 long in haunts OF men?"
She knows my heart could never wrong her,
She calls me 80, she draws me SO;
feel the old spells growing stronger,
Aside the heavy weight throw.
cannot bide in exile longer,
Home to the meadows let me go!

French Anecdotes.
THE YOUNGER DUMAS AND THE pARRo

THE YOUNGER DUMAS AND THE PARROT,
A writer in Once a Week says:
"Alexandre Dumas the younger came one
day SO much too late to dinner to which he
had been invited, that instead of going at
once into the dining-room, he preferred to
await his friend in the drawing-room. This
apartment he found tenanted by parrot on
its perch. 'As-tu dejeune, Jacquot?' began
the celebrated dramatist THAT being the ap-
proved manner in France of entering into
conversation with a parrot.) Imprudently
he followed up his words by trying to take
the bird upon his finger, but JacquOt, not un-
derstanding this advance, bit the finger
through and through. Dumas simply wrung
the birds neck, ana threw it out OF sight un-
der sofa. More than twevemonth after,
Dumas being again guest in the same house
the conversation happened 10 fall upon the
habit attributed to some animals OF hiding
themselves from all eyes to die. Il have a
most striking example of the kind to relate,
said Mr.. G., the master of the house. you
remember, all of you, my poor old Jacquot,
don't you? Well, he was found one day.
about year ago, dead under the sofa in the
dining-room. He must have got down from
his perch and deliberately retired into con-
cealment for his last moments. We missed
him all at once, and quite unexpectedly; and
after two days search, found him at last living

state his view of the case, and to this day the
credulous Frenchman believes that he has
had under his own observation a most strik-
ing example iof the desire tor solitude evinc-
ed by certain animals on the approach of
death"
BEGGARs In ORDINARY"
The same writer tells this story:
SIN country place in France, the lady of
one OF the neighboring chateaux was accus-
toned, as most French ladies' are, to have
what might be called sbeggars in ordinary
One of these was waiting, few months ago,
at the above mentioned chateau in the early
hours of the day. Having gone to bed late
the night before, the lady had not risen be-
times, and the beggar waxed impatient, At
last turning to the footpan, 'How long dye
suppose she'll be before she comes@ said be.
Really can't say answered the valet; may
be ten minutes, may be an hour and half
Then I'll tell ye what it is retorted the men,
dicant, She may provide herself with another
beggar-tell her that for me- And SO saying,

Important Certificate.
speedy Cure of whooping Cough /!


l am not in the habit of taking advertised medi-
cines nor OF certifying to their curative effects when
they come under my observation; bnt feel con-
strained to make an exception In favor OF DoDD's
NERvINE and lnvieorator, medicine I have used
in my family for some time past My little daughter
had been suffering from severe whooping cough for
several weeks, and was so much broken OF rest at
night that-by excessive coughing and loss ofseep-
her constitution and general health seemed to be
giving away. Various remedies or pailiatives were
recommended by intimate neighbors, but nothing
was tried until our attention called by physi-
clan not now in practice to Dodds Nervie. This we
procured and commenced using at once-with an eff
feet immediate and surprising. As the commissions
were hardest at night we began by giving the Ner-
vine on her going to bed The first dose administer
ed made its impression; the cough became less fire.
quent, and very much less severe, she got her
accustomed sleep, rapidly revived in health and
syigor, and in few days was as well as ever. What
was left OF the whooping cough thereafter of no
trouble OF course cannot but consider Dodd's
Nervine and Invigor ator an invaluable romedy for
this distressing malady. I may add that have
since recommended it TO several family friends, in
like circumstances, and have found it in every case
to be equally successful. 1t needs only to be known
to come into universal demand.

Sir-I purchased OF you last spring, eight barrels
to the cultivation of potatoes on i've and half acres
of old worn out land, with no other manure. The
fully double the quantity produced on an equal
amount of newer land without Phosphate, and the
quality was decidedly better, being larger and
smoother, and worth at least fifteen to twenty cents
per bushel more than where no Phosphate was used.
In answer to your inquiry whether Phosphate pays
can say raised 1900 bushels of potatoes this year

dent raised at least 500 bushels for using $50
worth OF Phosphate, and the quality was very much
better intend to use al least two and half tons

New Sharon, Me, April II, 1858.
Messrs. Editors-I have used Bradley's Super
Phosphate of Lime corn and potatoes for several
years past, to my entire satisfaction. Last year
too particular notice of the grown where used
his Super Phosphate, compared with raised with
barn-yard manure in the same field, and found the
ears raise on the rows where Bradleys Phosphate
applied were y inches longer, and filed out
third, and OF much better quality, The corn grewn
on the rows where barn-yard manure was used was
two weeks later, with considerable soft corn, and
none OF the filed the end as was the case
where the Phosphate applied. Nf
On potatoes it acted equally as well as it did on
my corn. 1 think no farmer in Maine should raise
corn or potatoes without Bradley's Phosphate, and
sure if they will once give it trial thew will be
well satisfied that they would be as unwilling
am to do without it.
