she would lose the power of respiration and they
compelled to resort to various means to restore breath

given up all hopes OF her recovery her son noticed
the advertisement Of Aliens Lung Balsam in the
Christian Advocate. and they thought they would pro-
and try It, They commenced giving her the Bal

The opinion seems to be general that the
convention of the ''coperhead' wing of the
Democrats in Iowa, which has been called
to meet in Des Moines August 10, will be
large and influential meeting. Several
Democratic papers support the movement.
The leaders in this old departure seem to
be in earnest, and threaten to nominate an
entirely new ticket for state officers as well
as to presenta reconstructed platform.

NARROW GUAGEs OUTDoNE The Steu.
benvile Hcruid says we have just seen
a curiosity, consisting Of a onc-rail railroad
In miniature form. It is constructed Of
one iron rod, three quarters Of an inch in
diameter, mounted atihe apex Of pyramid,
with wooden base ! ! inches 10 width aud
: inches high, aud on this is pllccd car up
on which we rode. With three persons
upon it, it gIides off as smoothly az
flowing water. One is struck with the
chcapness and safety of this railway
The secret of this p,cuir tramway con
sits IN it's revolving sAange, which rem
ders it impossible to leave the track. In
a word it is a combination of safety, speed
and cheapness; while it can ascend steep
grades and turn short curves with ease and
sa y, and yet can be built at less than one
tenth the cost Of our present railroads.-
Such are the claims made for il by us in
veutor, Mr.. Crew, aud after seeing it in mo-
ton and investigating it thoroughly, VIC see
DO cause for doubling all lie claims for IT,
Capitalists should at once investigate and
bring into use use this cheap and valuable
invention

HURRAH FOR THE SPRING!

Goodbye, goodbye to the winter King
His reign is Ter, for the blushng Spring
Appears like fair young Queen.
How she coaxed the old fellow to sleep on
her lap,
And laughed rs she covered him up for n nap.
With her beautiful mantle of green.
Then hurrah, hnrrah, for the glorious Srring
AT whose coming the trees with melody ring,
Who looSens the stream from its thral
She fills with sweet fragrance the newborn flow
ers,
And tints with rich sunlight, the evening hour
Rejoicing both cottage and hall.
Hurrah, hurrah, for the budding Spring
The zephyrs are borne in the wave of her wing
And sweet her yernal showers;
There's warmth in the flow of her trosses rare,
And dew drops bright the jewels are,
And her coronet woven of flowers.
But ere long, must She the loving Queen
GIVE way for one Of haughtier mcin-
One of more sultry breath -
And thus through the circlng round of years,
Woe follows our joys, and smiles our tears
I'LL we re garnered in 10y death

a WONDERFUL INVENTION There Is
no doubt but that we are upon the owe Of &
new era in the manufacture of woollcn fab
rics, when every family in the land can sup
ply Itself by its own industry with woollcn
cloths of every description aud Of every de
gree of fueness and elegance, and when
there will be no ex cuse for going otherwise
than well aud even elegantly clad The
mechanism which is to produce this change
in the history of woollen manufactures is
marvellous invention, which has already
excited thetadmiration of capable judges of
its merits iu some Of the leading manufac-
turing centres of New Eng land, and which
has been on exhibition for the past week in
this city. 1t is an elegant and simply
structed machine. The space occupied by
it is five feet eight inches by FIVE feet That
is the extreme length and breadth of the
loom. 1t is very easily managed, one girl
tending four looms without the aid of sec
ton hands. The rapidity with which it
works is something miraculous, single
loom producing the enormous quantity of
go yards of cloth in one day, while the
best ordinary loom produces only % yards.

One experiment tried last season with
which | am highly pleased-that Is. sowing
oats 20 cut green and cure for bay. Neigh
Dor ;. came along as | had just commenced
moving them, aud advised me % let them
stand until they got ripe, and have a good
crop Of grain and straw too FOR said be,
II you cot them now while tho grain l. Just
coming into the milk you will lose the Grain
and The straw will be no better than II the
grain had ripcncd As he wasan old man
listened % his advice mcekly Of course,
aud then tried 20 explain 10 him my theory,
that, as the oats bad now got their growth,
the substance or juice that form the grain
we're 10 the stalk, and II cured, what / did
rot have 10 the bead / should have 10 the
straw
But the old farmer said this looked too
much like book farming for him. Another
neighbor came along and wanted 70 know
wba. ia the world vas moving those oats
for. i told bin TO make good feed for nv
COWS this Winter. lie thought I would
make more feed for rats than cows for.
said be, the rats viii cut them al 10 piec-
es, and your barn will be overrun with
them. But cut my oats and put them 20
the NOV and now have the sat faction ofses.
iug with what keen relish my stock eat them.
Permit me to advise ms brother farmers to
SOW a piece OF oats 70 cut green and cure
for bay prepare the ground thoroughly
aud SOW from three 30 four bushels per scre,
and cut when the mos, forward grains come
