AI.nrnnd of the BOYnn.

OF the history of the Castle of Ath-
lumney and its adjoining church in
Meath, Ireland, there is little known
with certainty; but standing on the left
bank of the river Boyne, opposite the
ruins, we cannot help recalling the
story of the heroism of its last lord, Sir
Launcelot Dowdall, who, hearing of the
issue of the battle of the Boyne, and the
fate of the monarch to whom his family
was so long attached, and fearing the
approach of the victorious English
army, declared, on the news reaching
him, that the Prince OF Orange should
never rest under his ancestral roof. The
threat was carried into execution.
Dowdall set fire to his castle at night
fall, and crossing the Boyne sat down
upon its opposite bank, from whence, as
tradition reports, he beheld the last tim
Der in his noble mansion blazing and
Pickering in the summers night, crash
amidst the smoul 1ering ruins; and
when its final eructi ton of smoke and
flame was given fortL and the pale light
of morning was stealth over that scene
of desolation, with an aching and de-
spairing heart he turned from the once
y
and flying to the continent, shortly
after his cowardly master, never re-
turned to this country. All tn re-
mains of this castle and estate were ( T.
feited in 100. Many a gallant II. N
soldier lost his life, and many a nobl
lrishgentleman forfeited his broad lands
that day. We wish their cause had
been a better one, and the monarch for
whom they bled more worthy such an
honor.
Tradition gives another, but by no
means SO probable a version of the
burning of Athlumney Castle, which
refers it to an earlier date. 1t is said
that two sisters occupied the castles of
Athlumney and Alackcastle, which lat
ter was situated on the opposite bank
that the heroine of the former, Jealous
other rival in Blackcastle, took the follow
ing means of being revenged She made
her enter into an agreement that to pre-
vent their mansions falling into the
khands of Cromwell and his soldiers, they
should set fire to them at the same mo-
ment, as soon as the news of his APP
proach reached them, and that fire
being lighted upon one was to be the
signal of the conflagration of the other

LIVE II COMPLAINT, LIVER DISEASE,
!. e. BI L IoUsN Ess.-Bilious complaints
by some termed liver disease-are very
COMMON in this country. The ordinary
indications, su h as yellowness of the
kin and whit IS of the eyes, pain in the
light side un Ter the inferior ribs, with
sometimes di dculty of respiration and
troublesome cough-are familiar to q
host of suff rers; but the liver, some
times, is in very unsatisfactory state
without the presence of such symptoms.
When we reflect that the liver is the
largest gland of the body, that it Sc
cretes the bile which lubricates the
bowels and keeps them in order, is the
great blood purifier or cleansing ma
chine of our systems, it may truly be
called the HouSeheeper Of orr Health.
Sudden transitions of climatic tempera-
ture, or impure air, or ,Oater, are disturb
ing elements which arrest the functions
of the liver, and render it torpid, pro-
ducing diarrh@a, dysentery baiouS remit
tents, intermittent .tecerS and a general
prostration, and unhealthy state of the
whole organization.
1t is not surprising that medicine
which can restore the healthy operations
of the liver, should command general
attention. Such medicine is CALL

THE HISTORY OF A NATIONAL REMEDY
Here is the history OF the most celebrated
tonic of the age in n nutshell. In 1860 it was
announced that a certain combination of vege-
table ingredients, with Il pure ditIusivc stimu-
liant, was working wonders in the cure of
chronic dyspepsia, nervous debility, liver COM
plant, periodical tevers, rheumatism and con-
stitutional weakness. The unprctcnding name
given to the specific was PLANTATION BIT
TIERS. The statement attracted the attention
of invalids everywhere. The new remedy re-
ceived fair trial, and the results more than
confirmed all that had been said in its praise.
Thencciorward it was grand success. The
business columns of the press spread the glor-
ious news far and wide, and the martyrs to
indigestion, biiiousness, physical prostration
and premature decay, as if 10y common cons
ent, sought relief from the new vegetable re-
storative. They found chat they sought. From
that time to the present the increase in the
demand for Plantation Btters has been one of
the most striking events in this age.

Bad Air.

Air, the breath of life, is the first want
of the human being, and it is also the
last. At every pulsation during life we
need this DEMONSTRATING element. Yet
one would suppose, by the bad ventila-
tien of houses, churches and theatres,
that it was a matter of indifference
whether he had much or little, or wheth-
er it was good or bad. We read in the
papers of the death of persons from suf-
location in wells, mines, or by escaping
gas, and are startled, wondering why
people will be so careless yet thousands
of people die by inches, or only half
live, in consequence of the impurity of
the air which they breathe. If one is
shut up III small room without any
admission of fresh air, the air contained
within the room soon becomes impure
by having been breathed over and over,
and very great lassitude or depression
of life and spirits is the consequence.
constantly within the lungs by coming
in contact with atmospheric air. In
deed, that is the whole office of the
lungs, to aerate or revitalize the blood
which is there met by the atmospheric
air-and change it from dark, venous
blood to bright scarlet, arterial blood,
thus preparing it to carry life to every
part and tissue of the system. In the
lungs the blood loses many of its impur-
tiles, and takes on the e-giving oxy-
gen from the air: and infproportion as
the air is abundant and pure which we
breathe, in that proportion VIC have the
glow of health and the enthusiasm of
living which comes from well-yitalized
blood.

Turkish Peculiarities,

If Christian nations would copy some
of the Turkish practices as well as pre-
cepts, they would be better off. For in
stance, their devotion to temperance,
and abstemiousness from anything like
gluttony is wonderful. Rev. +. w.
Holland, in an article III the June num-
Der of LipPincott's Magazine, says, "Con-
stantinoplo is the most temperate capi-
tai of its size in the world. Spending
day after day in the open air, wander
ing among the common folk, having at
one time several people in my employ,
even in the biting air before daylight l
never found any Turk drinking stronger
beverage than coffee. But that is moth
ing to their great annual fast. During
the Ramadan, which lasts whole
month, from sunrise to sunset the pant
ing boatman, the heavy-laden porter,
will touch nothing like food, not even
tobacco, and no drink whatever; and at
sundown will make up for this absti-
nence, not by a drunken carouse, but by
a larger dish of pilau, and a longer
smoke of Latalzia. To be sure, temper
ance is part of the Turks religion, but
is it not of ours? And that religion
an imposture as we call it-has some
thing very real in its worship at four in
the morning the year round, its indiffer-
ence to Infdel" gaze, the heartiness of
all its observances, the severity of its
daily self-denials. Often have l found
the shop entirely open while the shop
man was at his prayers, and have tax
en- up the goods to see if anybody would
demonstrate, and laid them down again
without anybody's interference. And
how often have l watched the thin-clad
boatman kneeling in prayer on the wet
sand, or in drizzling rain, the world
forgetting, by the world forgot"

ADVICE ABOUT SETTING HENs.-The
following is from correspondent of the
Poultry Gazette:
have been asked how 1 managed to
set so many hens with so little apparent
trouble, and such marked success and,
knowing, from my own experience, how
vexatious it is to have perhaps from tif-
teen to twenty-five hens sitting at one
time, and upon going into the sitting
room some day, find two and three on a
nest, and the neglected eggs stone cold,
eggs that cost, perhaps, dollar apiece,
thought it might benefit the poultry
raisers out West to have me give my
plan in detail, viz: ! arrange my nest
boxes along the sides of long room or
shed, putting in the bottom of each box
layer of earth (any kind will do), then
layer of wood ashes, and over all, a
layer of salt hay. l prefer hay because
it is more soft and yielding and because
1 am convinced it is a great help in
keeping the hen free from vermin.
remove the hen wanting to sit to one
Of iheSe boxes, covering her while NOV
ing :, she can't see the light, and when
she is,'icely settled on the eggs, Isprinkle
little sulphur among her feathers and
then cover the front of the coop with a
board, iberating her every other day to
feed, etc. Every other day is often
enough to let the hen off, and if she
should chance to be forgotten, it will do
her no harm to wait another day. The
advantages of my plan are these: it is
cheap, little trouble, and systematic ;
my hens coming of and going on like
clock-work, and they really seem to en-
Joy it.

APPLYING MANURE.-A correspond
ent of the RurdL Hbne writes: "lf the
farmer has manure made, or kept
through the summer. it will become fer
mented it cann9t be avoided in the
warm season. Suyh manure is best ap-
applied ON the surface, and worked in
with the harrow; and if applied to win
ter wheat, there is perhaps no better
mode, as it has the mechanical effect of
keeping the surface loose to resist the
frosts of winter, as well as the stimulat-
ing effect of producing an early growth
of the crop. But IL the use of green
manures in spring fer snmmer crops, ex-
perience has conyinted me that to plow
under, and allow fGmentatioR to take
place in the soil, wlnre all the volatile
gases can be absorbed and taken up by
the growing crop, is most economical
and best. We are often deceived in the
effects of manure by the amount used.
