CoLERIDGE mentions somewhere that
Wordsworth assisted him in writing the
''Ancient Mariner The two poets
had agreed to take tour together, and in
order to pay their expenses, resolved to
write some poems, which were composed
during the tour. They gave each other
assistance IN their composition; in the
'Ancient Mariner" the idea of the men
pulling the ropes, which would seem
more like Coleridge than Wordsworth,
was suggested by the latter. The first
verse of the poem, "We are Seven" was
written by Coleridge. Wordsworth COM
posed this poem backward, beginning at
the last verse and going upward. He and
Coleridge were staying in a friends house
at the time of its composition. Words
worth was summoned to tea when he had
finished all but the first verse, and Cole
ridge told him to go into the drawing
room and he would complete it for him.
Coleridge, not Person, as has been said,
wrote some stanzas of Southey's, 'Devil's
Walk" and Mr.. Hobhouse, afterward
Lord Broughton, wrote about thirty lines
in Byron's English Bards and Scotch
Reviewers.

The New York Commercial Aduer-
tiSer, a leading Republican organ, in
commenting upon the defeat of that par
ty in New York, says:
'Two other points were also demon
strated-frst that Republicans are un-
grateful to military heroes, and old sol
diers bring no strength to either party.
The soldier dodge is played out, and the
Grand Army of the Republic, politically
considered, is of no more account in q
campaign than the Bungtown Cavaliers.
The other point is that German votes are
not to be caught by nominating one Of
their nation with especial reference to be-
quilting them away from Democracy; Dol
will any amount eff ridiculous blather
about German unity, Teutonic bravery
and absurd Qualification of King William
and Bismarck, induce Germans to vote
the Republican ticket. F"

THE World in speaking of q recent
exhibition of skill In New. York by M.
GARNER, the celebrated young French
billiardist, who escaped from Paris with
his wife in a balloon, says the most as
tonishing masse shots and draws were
made, and all the ordinary rules of bill
iards seemed to have been reversed. A
ball would start from the cue at good
pace, fly half way down the table, and
then seem to change its mind, stop sud-
denly, and return at an accelerated pace
to an object-ball near the starting point.
Caroms were made over cues held q foot
from the table; masse shots were made
on the edge of the table; a carom was
made on ball played on top of Dion's
head, and a ball was caromed from the
top of a pyramid of three ale glasses,
without disturbing or breaking the glass
ware.

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMNER TONIC

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that Renovation, not Prostitution, Is
the true Medical Philosophy The intro
duction of PLANTATI0g BITTERs,
prepared with pure st. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of lie
world to this great fact. The life sustain
ing principle embodied in this great Vege-
table Restorative is manifested in the weak
and responding by an immediate and most
encouraging change. If the appetite has
failed, it is quickensd; if digestion has
been painful and imperfect, it becomes easy
and thorough; if the liver is torpid, it is
reused and regulated; if tbs nerves are re-
laxed, they are strengthened and restrung;
if the brain has been haunted by morbid
fsnciss, they are put to fight, and hope and
eheerfulness return In the face of the en-
trsordinary cures Of general debility, dys~
pepsia, biliousness, constipation and men
tai dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist in
1t. The terrible evscuents which were once
prescribed as the spring and summer med
icines, have utterly lost their prestige. The
sick viii not take them, and Plantation
Bitters, in which are combined the ele
ments of stomachic, and invigorant, a
mild laxative, a nervine and an anti-bilious
specific, reign in their stead.

STORING Roofs.

Turnips or Ruta Bagas should never be

tity, on account of the offensive odor
which proceeds from them, when the
least degree of decay occurs. These, as
well as other roots may be wen kept by
pitting them Choose dry knoll, nea,

dig q trench about foot deep, running

ion. Let them be in dry state when
put in. Place on light layer of straw,
covering in thinly with dirt, and then
with a crowbar, pierce some holes in the
top, to let off the steam. Let them re-
main thus till the severe frosts are about
to set in; then put on another covering
OF straw and a thick covering of earth,
closing the south end with several bun
dies of straw, which can be removed at
pleasure, when you wish TO get at the
roots. Be careful to make holes for the
escape of the steam, when the roots are
first put in. In this way they may be
kept safely till spring.

THE NEW JOAN OF ARC.

The new Joan of Arc, who is said to
have made her appearance at Tours, will,
we suspect, neither retrieve the French
cause nor be burnt as witch. Repubh-
can governments have little faith in
miracles; and the Revolutionists of 1872
actually took the bronze statue of the
Maid which had stood for ages on the
bridge at Orleans and cast it into cannon.
The modern Maid of Orleans is described
as having visions, and marching at the
head of the troops, carrying before them
a silken banner, son which is painted the
Holy Virgin with the Infant Jesus" In
fact she has all the traditional and stage
attributes of that famous historical heroine
except the breastplate and sword, which
she exchanges for 8 long black robe, indi-
cative of sorrow for the present condition
of her country. What amount of enthusi-
Asm this fair anschronism has excited in
the breast of rural Gardes Mobiles we are
not told; but it viii be as well that their
trust should be accompanied by an undi-
minished faith in such auxiliaries as field
guns and cartridges free from sawdust.
The fact is that the present struggle, If it
shows anything, shows that battles can
not be won by mere enthusiasm. Even
the dash of the Zeuave, but yesterday &C
counted so terrible, has been proved
worthless when not supported by good
commissariat, sound discipline and scien-
tifc tactics. The modern Joan of Arc
has, therefore, something more to contend
with than the mere scepticism of the age,
CT the wicked jokes of the Paris Figaro.
This Joan, however, may, for aught we
know, be lady ss learned in strategy as
Miss Garrett in medicine-ln fact, Joan
of Arc with modern improvements, il
which case she may possibly prove to b'
not inferior to LsBeuf in the art of mar
shalling armies.

KEEPING PAPsNTPs IN wINTER.
The best plan for keeping the parsnip
is to gather them late in the fall and 20
top them very close; bury them in the
ground like potatoes, but not SO deep I;
early in the spring take them, and If any
have commenced growing, top them
again, and put them in situation where
they win neither grow or wither too
much, and they viii keep good till other
vegetation is fit for the table-at least
this is our plan, which we have learned
by experience.

COVERING TENDER PLANTS

There are several different modes of
covering tender plants for the purpose of
protecting them for winter, which are to
be variously adopted, as the condition of
the plant its degree of tenderness, the
latitude, and the nature or character of
the covering used, may require. Instead
of giving particular directions for the
amateur to follow blindly, we propose to
explain few of the leading operations
and the principles on which they are
founded, for each person to adapt to his
particular circumstances, as the neces-
sities of the case may render advisable.
The same plant is made hardy or ten
der, according to its growth the past sea-
son. If the growth of shrub or tree
has been moderate, and has ceased early,
so as to induce the early and perfect ripe
ming of the wood, it will be hardy. If,
on the other hand, the growth has been late
and succulent it will be tender. The
season, therefore, has much to do with
ability to Withstand the cold. The sever
est winter which the writer ever witness
ed, in Western New York, when the mer-
curry sank TO twenty-six degrees below
zero, caused less injury to such half hardy
trees as the Usage orange than
other milder winters, for the simple
reason that the previous sum-
mer and early autumn were accom-
panied with a drouth of great severity.
Some planters complained bitterly of this
irouth; but it ripened the wood of their
fruit and other trees, so that they escaped
unframed. 1t should always be remem.
bered, therefore, that the amount of pro.
lection to shrubs and trees, must be gra-
duated to the degree of ripening which
the young wood has effected. This may
be determined in three ways-by thu
character of the previous summer, whe
ther wet, warm, cold, dry, or favorinl
early or late growth; by examining thu
young shoots to see whether they arr
mature and hard, and with the termipa
bud fully formed; and by observing th'
character of the soil in which they grow

A WARM BED EOR PIGS,

We very well remember saying of an
old gentleman, an excellent farmer, that
if you would make hog profitable you
should not let him ever see winter; and
we think we have satisfied ourselves that
spring pigs, well kept and nursed, are far
less expensive, and yield more in return
for their keep, than those which are if
teen or eighteen months old. But there
is one thing quite certain: if we prefer
our store hogs to come in the fall, we
ought to be careful to keep them through
our long cold winters both warm and dry.
Every observant farmer knows that if his
cattle are not sheltered from the cold
weather and storms, they will require
much more food to keep them in tolera-
bic order than if they were kept warm
and comfortable. Just as it is with pigs
if they are suffered to run over your
premises in the snow and sleet with their
legs and snout as red as the gill of your
gobbler, without a warm AMI dry bed of
clean straw to resort to when they choose,
they will not only, in all probability,
come out with mango in the spring, but
every grunt they give will convince you
that all the food they have devoureil has
been thrown away; for shoats that have q
cold, damp, comfortless bed will get
NANCY, and NANCY pigs can not grow.
Let any one who has a mind to try the
experiment, take two pigs of the same
litter, suffering the enc to run as above,
and let the other be well housed and well
fed, and it will be found that the superior
growth of the latter will pay for the care
bestowed upon him, with good interest.
Hogs that are confined, and can not get to
the earth, will frequently be benefited by
having little charcoal, soft brickbats, OF
soft wood thrown in to them, and 6
trif1ing quantity of birthstone mixed in
their food occasionally is an excellent
thing. The hog has the credit of being
dirty fellow-but we should remember
that he likes to be dirty in his own way,
and for his own pleasure; he neither pre-
fers to live cold nor in filth; still less does
he choose to be half fed. DR.. Franklin'i
man said the hog was the only gentleman
in England, because he alone was exon
Grated from labor. If this be so, surely
he ought to be well fed and well housed
in America We entirely believe tina
the same amount of food that will barely
carry pig through the winter with bat
management, will, with good, pruden
treatment, keep him growing, and in thu
spring you have something to build upor
that will by and by make you sole
porker who will do credit to your sty.
