The auld wife sat at the ivied door

A thing she had frequently done before,
And her knitting reposed on her aproned

'sWhy?' Iheas.
And the dog said nothing, but searched for
The farmer he strobe through h the dim farm yard

The connection OF which with the plot one sees.
The farmers daughter hath frank blue eyes
(6utter and eggs and a pound Of cheese,
She hears the rook cav in the windy skies,
As she sits at her lattice cad shells her peas.
The farmers daughter hath ripe red lips
Butter and eggs and a pound Of citeese)
If you try 10 approach her, away she skips
Over tables and chairs with apparent ease
The farmers daughter hath soft brown hair

Which mainly consisted OF lines like these,

THE Cow TREE.-On the parched side of
a rock on the mountains of Venezuela. grows
Il tree with dry and leathery foliage, its large
woody roots scarcely penetrating into the
ground. For several months in the year its
leaves are not moistened by shower-its
branches look as if they were dead and with
cred but, when the trunk is bored, bland
aud nourishing milk flows from it. 1t is at
sunrise that the vegetable fountains flow
most freely. At that time the blacks and
natives arc seen coming from all parts, pro-
vided with large bowls to receive the milk,
which grows yellow and chickens at its sur
face. Some empty their vessels on the spot,
while others carry them to their children
one imagines he sees the family of a shep-
herd who is distributing the milk of his
flock. 1t is named the palo de yaco. or cow
tree,

NEW REMEDIES FOR BURNs-Two new
remedies for burns are added to the long
list. The first is charcoal. A piece of veg.
etable charcoal laid on burn at once aoothes
the pain. says the Gazette BIedcale, and if
kept applied for an hour cures it complete
ly. The second one is sulphate of iron.-
This was tried by n. Joel in the Children S
Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland. In this
case. child, four years of age, had been ex-
tensively burned suppuratiou was abund-
ant and so offensive that the ward was un-
inhabitable. NJ. Joel ordered the child d
tepid bath, containing couple of pinches
of sulphate Of Iron. This gave immediate
relief to the pain. and being repeated twice
a day-twenty minutes each bathe-the
suppuration increased, lost its odor, and the
child was soon convalescent.

BEE HIVE.

The undersigned has secured letters patent
of the United states, dated December Ia, 1869,
for aII irnpro ealent in the construction OF Bee
Hives, and claims for his invention advantages
possessed by no other heretofore patented.
The principal feature of this Rec Hive is the
arrangement by nleans of which il is thorough
lv ventilated, thus precluding the possibility OF
the bees smothering, The comb moulding or the
honey souring This desirable end is accom-
pished By a vertical perforated tube. running
centrally through the hive and open at the top
and bottom. An persons interested in apicni-
turc viii at once see the great advantages Sc
cured il. this Improvement. The ventilatoI is
for the increase OF bees
The peculiar constru ction of the box, partic-
uiar.y IA the arrangement of the inner COM
partrnents, whereby il can be cleaned at any
time without disturbing the bees, is another
valuable Improvement which will be obvious
to any perSoa who examines this Hive. An
examination of the workings OF the bees or the
condition OF the interior can be made at any
time as the sides are cased with glass. Bees
can be transferred from different hive to the
improved one without any difficulty whatever.
II would require too much space to enumerate
here all the advantages claimed in this inven-
ton, bat fall Information will be promptly fur
nished By applying in person or by letter to the
patentee. ! am now prepared to dispose OF
territory for the saleof the Improved Bee Hive
in any portion of the United States.

THE INsTABIfiTY OF PoLITIcAL Glory
The last time saw the Duke Of Wellington
was the day of the dissolution of Parliament
hy William ~. was at q window on the
route of the procession, and gorgeous show
il was. The Duke was not in it, but made
his appearance on horseback soon after it had
passed, threading his way with great difficult
ty through the deasely crowded streets. His
popularity at that time was at its nadir, and
the noises with which he was saluted were
not as flattering as those which greeted him
on his return from Waterloo. Just opposite
nv window he was brought TO a stop by a
coal cart, in which was sooty wretch, who
hegan shaking bag Mt him with stentoran
shouts. and covering him with dust. Sever
al minutes must have elapsed while he was
thus ignomiaiously enthralled. just what
he said conld not hear, but 1 could see the
expression of his face, and it was certainly
not the same as 1t wore when he cried, "Up,
Guards, at 'em !" The spectacle was so
painful that heartily wished that somebody
would heaye theheaver from his dirty emf
nence. The sympathy, however, of the many
headed, to my amazement, was with the
blackguard, who was evidently an exponent
of the then popular voice. Had he been old
er. would have been less astonished. It is
quite ca regle that the path of glory should
lead to coal dust.

considerable population. Many of these
houses are neat and tasty, some are even
elegant. and the hotel is pleasant, spacious
one indeed, while queenly religion has built
her temple on grassy lawn ct the end of a

the North sturdy, Woodworking yeomanry,
bringing those habits Of industry and sobrie-
ty which have made a garden land OF even
cold and rocky New England.
Their principles are also of the North, hat
this does not seem to trouble the good Vir-
ginans who have settled among them, for
they are not making political colony.
They came dewn to the borders of the sunny
South to make homes for themselves, not to
become Office holders. So the fields. as far

HAIR DRESSING,
Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
md

Cough, BrOncnlt1S, AStnmG,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men 1t has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
of the lungs and throat, have made it known
liable protector against them. While adapted to
l1er forms Of disease and to young Children it is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections OF the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption Is thought in-
crrable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
CHERRY PectordI. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When MOTH
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
forol they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
1sfhnsa is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pecforol in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here do
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.
