A Presentiment.

You praise me with a lovers praise.
Nv ready smile. my winsome ways.
You lavish kiss and fend careSs
On snowy brow and sunny tress:
Our hearts. you say, will ne'er grow cold.
But closer cling as we grow old
Grow old
You count the years that you and
Will watch the summer days 20 by,
And when our fields are turning brown,
And age like night comes softly down.
Fond lips, and hearts that love makes bold.
Will brighten life as We grow old =.
Grow old
And all the while you talk to me.
l hear an inward prophecy.
That tells me that ere "A year has flown
Each will go on his way alone.
/ shall not feel your clinging hold,
Nor you my taltering steps uphold
As we grow old
ris not that time will GOODNESS bring
To lips that kiss and arms that cling;
You will not seek loves sweet replies
In other lips and other eyes:
My heart lis loyalty will hold,
But, daring. | shall not grow old
Grow old
And when our tears are falling fast
Upon brow whose pain is past
When all your loving words are vain
To win one answ erng smile again,
Take then one sunny tress of gold,
Remembering love can ne'er grow old
Grow old

Rules for Conduct.

Put on the airs Of an eight keyed flute.
IL you're only penny whistle:
Pass where you can for a garden rose.
III you're only wayside thistle.
Blow. whenever you blow your horn.
SO people can understand
That you may be sharp. but you won't De nat.
In society's great brass band.
Pass the plate or the bat in church
With the usual Sabbath air.
Bat move With a mild. religious squeak.
That people may know you're there.
IL you carry a nose six inches long
(And a beak can scarce be longer,
Believe 1t sign OF conception ttrohg'
And the longer il is the stronger.
But if in the order Of usual tubes
Your organ IL brief in measure,
Then. breyity being the soul OF w.t.
Consider your pug treasure
Love your neighbor. but mark the force
OF the gospel rule Of grace 60,
The more you admire yourself, my irlehu'
The higher your neighbor's place.
Cbink your dime in the Deacon's pan,
As If you were throwing gold,
And give with an eye 10 the business nope
OF reaping hundred fold.
Whether your reading is little or great.
Quote right or never quote
Polish your uppers though down In the nsel
And never indOrse note.
Always advance best hand. best foot
Best hand best foot your own.
And thus you may feast on the fat of the land.
While others enjoy the bone.

He walks among his peers unread:

For lack Of listeners are notsaid.
Yet dreaming on earth's clustered isles.

AdulteratiOn of Min.

We notice in the English Nix Journal
that an act to prevent the adulteration
of food has lately been put in force
against a milk dealer, who, on a second
conviction of having diluted his milk
with fifty per cent. of water, was not
only fined $25, but 10y virtue of that law
was forced to pay the cost of notice in
a leading newspaper, got up in a most
conspicuous style, much in the shape
of an attractive epitaph, and which re.
lated in full all the misdoings of the un-
fortunate man and the consequences
thereof

BENJAMIN WILSON, an old offender,
was convicted of burglary at New York
on Monday, and sentenced TO Sing Sing
for five years. In prying open the
drawers Of the store into which he had
gained an entrance he used a large
clasp-knife, and broke off the point.
The knife was found in his possession,
and the exact fitting of the piece to the
broken blade was what convicted him.

The windsor Locks Traeedy.

HARTFORD, Conn, January 4.-Pend-
ing the examination before the jury of
inquest over the Windsor Locks horror
to-day, a clue was obtained to the per
petrators of the deed. 1t appears that
on the 9th of December two young men,
apparently French Canadians, and Civ
ing the names of George and Edward
Davis, and claiming to be brothers, en-
gagged as wood-choppers with Hannibal
Wright, of North Sufield, not far from
where the tragedy occurred. They oc-
cupied q small house by themselves,
and told the people of the neighbor-
living in Washington, Mass. They

they disappeared, taking the guns with
them. One wore a light overcoat very
much wor or the shoulders, and had
on rubber boots. The other was dress
ed in dark clothes. One is a little taller
than the other. The guns which we're
the weapons used to do the killing
were found on Wednesday, and one
has been identified as that which
Wright owned. The description given
of the men by those who saw them
leaving the house where the murders
were done corresponds with that fur
nished by persons living where the Da-
vises worked, ard there is no doubt of
the identity. 1t was also ascertained
to-day that the murderers, after leaving
Windsor Locks at 4 o'clock on Tuesday,
went to T~arriffville, eve miles distant,
and took drinks at a saloon, where a
large roll of shinplasters was exhibited,
and inquired of the proprietor the
nearest route to Buffalo, and, following
his directions, they came to this city on
the evening train. Nothing more is
known of their movement, though il
is feared they have gone 10 Canada and
will escape. .r

ThroM i'm Reinforcement..


The Citadel of Life Isl a state of siege all through
the year, but is never more closely invested than in
mid-winter. The liver is usually somewhat torpid,
and the bowels more or less constipated at this season,
and dyspepsia often assumes Its most aggravated form
in cold and wet weather. In short, the sluggish sys-
tenn seems inclined to intermit or shirk some Of its
most important duties under the influence Of q low
temperature, and requires wholesome stimulation.
The spur required Is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. the
only medicine which quickens the action of the Sc
cretive organs. and brings out the latent vitality ofthe

human life is not disease itself, but the weakness
which affords 1t an opportunity to gain a firm hold of

A New Trouble for St. Louis.

correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, writing from st. Louis, says:
And now the Mississippi river, with
its restless, tickle, treacherous, ever
changing currents, detected by the
projection in the upper part of the city,
known as Bissell's Point,-whose un-
friendly influence has been augmented
by the submarine constructions designed
to protect the pipe supplying the water
works,-threatens to open a new chan
mel on the Illinois side, and leave our
present misunderstanding along the
levee Tor the upper portion of it, and
place st. Louis, to all intents and pur-
aoses, a mile or more away from her
present great artery of commerce, and
even transfer the latter bodily into
another State. You are, 10 doubt, aware
that such a catastrophe was seriously
threatened many years ago, and wa
with difficulty averted by the skill of
(then) Lieutenant Robert E. Lee, of the
United States Engineer service. The
river is 10 rapidly cutting away the
scft, sandy alluyium towerd the ancient
bed of Cahokia creek, and if permitted
to once make its way into the channel,
will, with extreme difficulty and at
great cost, be returned to its former
course. And it appears that legal as
well as engineering difficulties may
supervene, as it is claimed by some that
the city will have n right to interfere
with the natural course of such an
event, as against the interests of those
concerned in matters and things upon
the Illinois side. The good old homely
adage concerning "a stitch in time.
would seem to apply here with peculiar
emphasis but, as 1 had occasion to re-
mark in a former letter, St. Louis usu.
ally considers long and carefully before
acting in anything; and in the mean
time, the river is rapidly cutting its
new channel on the Illinois side, and
depositing a sand-bed, soon to become a
bar, then an island, and then a part of
the Western shore, along the upper
landing.

What Uncle Sam Knows About
Farming.

The particular value to the country
of the Agricultural Department at
Washington has never been highly ap-
preciated it has been known chiefly as
an extensive seed establishment, carried
on at the public expense. Indeed, it
has been sometimes called "a repository
for old seeds"-old seeds in this in
stance signifying a class of decayed
gentlemen of special i~neficiency, in
stead of germs of vegetation. It has
been believed hat in too many cases
the real agricultural seeds dispensed
from this department have also out
lived their usefulness, as it is said that
their most careful nurture has often
failed to reward the assiduous husband
man with the slightest evidence OF
fruitfulness. In such instances the hon
est agriculturist has not been the only
one who has labored in vain, for the
well-meaning Congressman who has
plentifully sown his district with the
gifts of the Agricultural Department
has seen his rival reap the rich harvest
of votes which, as the result of his lib
berality to his constituentsat the public
expense, he had fondly hoped to gather
into his own garner.
The monthly report Just published
by this department., for November and
December, 1871, fails to afford any evi.
dence of valuable practical results from
it's efforts. 1t tells the people whetbe,
they have had hot or cold, wet or dry
weather, which they already knew; il
gives a few market reports such as can
be found in local papers all over the
country; ome agricultural reading and
a mass of agricultural statistics, some Of
which are of interest, with much thai
is exceedingly trivial but taken to
gether, all of very little value to any
practical farmer.-NeD York Sun.

GENrLEMEN-I heard one of my customers speak in
such high terms of Aliens Lung Balsam to-day that ]
thought I would write you the substance of his state
ments. He says his mother. who is now SIXTY years of
age, has SUFFERED with CONSUMPTION for SEVERAL
WARS, and has been under the care of all our best
physicidss. but never received any permanent benedt;
then she resorted to every kind Of Cough and Lung
Balssm that could be procured for her, bat al to no
her bed; and when she was seized with q paroxysm OF
coughing. she would loss ge poser Of respiration, and
they were compelle d to resort to various means to re-
store breathing; End while she coughed 50 hard she
could not expeo torate anything, and the family and
friends had given mp all hopes Of her recovery. Her
son noticed the advertisement of Aliens Lung Balsam
in the Ch5tsttda Advocdte, and they thought they would
procure and try It. They commenced giving her the
Baisam at 5 o'clock P. NJ, as directed, 8 dose every
hour until midnight then she took another spell Of
coughing. and exPectorated q mouthful of dark. yell
able to do for some time. They continued to give her
the Balsam until morning, and then she began to ex-
pectorate freely. and within two hours she had ExPEC-
ToRArED THREE PINTs Of mucous matter, which gave
her immediate relief; and since that time she has con-
tinued to improve. She now sits mp all day, and can
walk about the house and take considerable outdoor
exercise. Her son bought more of the Balsam to-day
