a STERLING OLD POEM

Who shall Judge man by his mannersf
Who shall know him by his dress
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less,
Crunpled shirt and dirty jacket
May bcclolhe the golden ore
OF the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vest can do no more.
There are streams Of crystal nectar
Ever flowing out OF stone
There are purple beds and golden,
Hidden crushed, and overthrown.
God. who counts, by souls, not dresses
Loves and prospers you and me,
While IIevalues thrones the highest
But as pebbles in tie sra.
Man uprise above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows then
s-rulers-loids, remember
That your meanest kinds are men
Men of labor, men of feeling,
Men Of thought and men of fame,
Claiming equal rights TO sunshine
In mans cnuobling name.
There are foam embroidered oceans,
There are little wood clad rills,
There are feeble inch high scrapings,
There are cedars on the hills,
God. who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me,
For to Him all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiliug hands alone are builders
Ola nations wealth and fame,
Titled laziness is pensioned,i
Fed and fattened on the same
BY the sweat of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly lifts it feeble voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loneliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is sunny right,
God whose worldwide voice is singing
BounnIess love to you aud me,
Links oppression with its titles
But us pebbles in the sea.

Dom Piatt tells the following
touching story of how life was saw
ed:
"a Sunday School Superinten-
dent out in Alaska treated his en-
tire charge to a sleigh ride. There
were just forty one of the cherubs
and six-horse sleigh. On the way
home they were beset by pack of
wolves. Cool and collected in that
hour of fearful trial, the heroic sup
erintendent at a glance saw that he
must be overtaken. In an instant
his quick mind grasped the only
chance of escape. Selling the child
that always sang II want to be an
angep two notes too high, he flung
it to the rapacious horde. 1t stayed
their onward rush for a moment
Next came the urchin who never
brought any pennies for the heather.
An so on swept the pursued and the
pursuers, until the last infant was
exhausted. But the brave fellow
had economical his material nobly.
He was saved.

A LITERARY CURIOSITY.
HOW THE HON. 5. 5. COX CAME BY THE NAME
OF SUNSET

HOW THE HON. ), ), COX CAME IN HE NAME
OF SUNSET
From The Columbus (Ohio) State journal.
At the request of many readers,
We republish from the Ohio States
man of May 10, 1853, edited at that
time by Mr.. Cox, the brilliant piece
of descriptive writing which won for
him the immorta! name Of Sunset"
A GREAT OLD SUNSET
What a storiPgul sunset was that
Of last night flow glorious the
storm, and how splendid the setting
Of the sun. We do not remember
ever to have seen the like on om
round globe. The scene opened in
the West with whole horizon full Of
golden interpenctrating lustre
which covered the foliage and bright
ened every object into its own rich
dyes. The colors grew deeper and
richer until the golden luster was
transfuscd in a storm-cloud, full Of
finest lightning, which leaped in daz
cling zigzags all around and over
the city. The wind arose with fury,
the slender shrubs and giant trees
made obeisancc to its majesty =
Some even snapped before its force.
The strawberry beds and grass plots
turned up their whites to see
Zcphyrus march by. As the rain
came, and the pools formed, and the
cutters hurried away, thunder roar
ed grandly, and the fire bells caught
the excitement and rung with
hearty GLORIOUS. The South and
East received the copious showers,
and the West all at once frightened
up in long, polished belt of azure,
worthy of Sicilian sky.
Presently q cloud appeared IN
the azure belt, in the form of cas-
tellated city. 1t become more vivid,
revealing strange forms of peerless
fanes and alabaster temples, and
glories rare and grand in this mum
dane sphere. 1t reminds us Of
Wordsworth's splendid verse in his
Excursion
The appearance instautaneously disclosed,
Was of mighty city. boldly say
A wilderness of buildings, sinking far
And self withdrawn into wondrous depth,
Far sinking into splendor without end.
But the city vanished only to give
place to another isle, where the most
beautiful forms of foliage appeared,
imaging Paradise in the distant
and purified air.
The sun wearied with the elemen-
tai commotion, sank behind the
green plains of the west. The
great eye in heaven" however,
went not down, without a dark brow
hanging over its departing Eght.-
The rich flush of the unearthly light
had passed and the rain had ceased
when the solemn church bells pealed,
the laughter of children out and joy
Gus after the storm is heard with the
carol Of birds while the forked and
purple weapon Of the skies still dart
ed illumination around the Startling
College, trying to rival its angles
and leap into its dark windows.
Candles are lighted. The piano
strikes up. We feel it is good to
have home; good to be on the
earth where such revelations Of
Beauty and Power may be made
And as we cannot refrain from re-
minding our readers of everything
wonderful in our city, we have be-
gun and ended our feeble sketching
of sunset which comes so rarely
that its glory should be committed
to immortal type.

THE Bible represents that certain
men became SO perfectly good, that
they were translated bodily to heav-

A TILTED LOVER.

Lady, since we are to part,
Canst thou give me back my heart
Give it then go in peace
All my thoughts of thee shall cease;
For thou has played a double part,
Winning thus another heart
Mayst thou to him be true
This Tor thee my last adieu!
None there be too honest are;
If, perchance there might be one
Who hath never heart undone,
She's Il marvel meath the sun

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

On Monday morning last Mr.. Q.
S. Price, Of Fayette county, shot a
young man by the name of Hubbard,
who had been paying his addresses
to his daughter, much against the
will of Mr.. Price, who had frequently
notified him to discontinue his visits,
but without avail, as it seems the
young lady was determined to mar
ry him. On Monday morning Hub
bard called at the house of Price,
and after few words passed be-
tween them, the latter stepped into
his room, got his gun, and emptied
its contents into the body of the for
mer, inhicting painful but not dan
gerous wound. The young lady see
ing what had been done, went to
Whitewater Greek, close by, jump
ed in and was drowned. Her body
was found on Tuesday evening near
Prices old bridge. These are the
facts as we have them.--GrlGn

A Singular Punishment.

A large number Of Russians were en-
ployed by the American Company OF
Sebastopol in the work of raising the
hulks sunk there during the Cri-
mean war. One day an unlucky man
happened to pick up a small copper
bolt worth about twenty-five cents
which he slipped in his pocket. The
act was observed by fellow-work nan,
who conveyed the intelligence to one OF
the officials. Directly a short, pomp
Gus officer of inferior rank came among
the gang and called the unhappy man
from their midst. Confronted with his
accuser he had no denial to offer or
excuse to make. His sentence was
swift. Punishment for seven years two
miles out on the hills at the back Of
Sebastopol. The poor wretch was mar
ried, there was no appeal, and without
any escort whatever, he took his way to
the allotted spot. His family were not
permitted to accomany him. He was
ordered never TO be found absent from
the place indicated. He at once set
about scooping out a hole in the earth,
and when this was completed he gath.
cred stones and built himself howell in
which he lived. His wife carried him
water and bread daily, and her visits
were very brief. Harry Pascoe, who re.
NAMED at Sebastopol two years, told
the writer of this item that he often
passed by the spot where this wretched
man was living, and he never saw him
five feet away from his hut.

Moral Medicine.

There is moral medicine more po-

kindness and sympathy, on the part of
youth, and beautp and womanliness!
And there is a moral poison, more deadly
than arsenic or prussic acid or nicotine.
Many a pining invalid has been hurried
into the grave from the want of sym.

yearning, even dying for it, for some
little exhibition now and then of loving
tenderness.

ing, yelled amazon on horseback going
out of Paris at a full galiop. Was she
pretty? Nobody could tell, as nobody
had seen her face, but her tall, elegant
form led people at least to suppose %.
The same amazon was seen, regularly
every day at noon, TO re-enter the same
gate always at full gallop. What could
1t mean? One day at the end of last
month, as she was entering Paris, her
horse stumbled and fell, but with won
derful deXterity she regained her sad
die and rode of, this time bestraddling
the horse. A horrible spectacle pre-
sented itself 10 those who ran up to the
place of the accident. An amputated
leg was found lying upon the ground
in pool of blood, and a messenger was
at once sent for the Commissary of
Police. Before the latter arrived, how

blood was nothing but wine, and the
leg member very ingeniously made OF

Hell.Fire i'm his Pocket.

The Banner Of Light tells the follow.
ing story of Unversalist minister
who attended convention of his
western brethren in a new village in
the wilderness where malaria and the
diseases incident thereto abounded. He
took the precaution to carry vial of
cayenne in his pocket, to spankle his
food with, as a preventive of fever and

" but you will find it very powerful
be careful how you use it,"
The Hoosier took the proffered vial,
and, feeling himself proof AGAINST any
quantity Of raw whisky, thought he
could stand the red salt with impunity,
and accordingly sprinkled junk of
beef rather bountitully with it, and
forthwith introduced it into his ca

hold. He shut his eyes, and his fea-
lures began to writhe, denoting a very
inharmonious condition physically. He

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Cros..PIowinx Green.ward.

This error is sometimes fallen into by
those who have had little experience in
farming. They want to make the best
preparation of the land for crops, and
do too much. If the object be to get a
deep filth of soil, the better way is to
turn the turf under at once, ten or
twelve inches deep, and mellow the
surface with harrow or cultivator.
When the sod is turned oyer it decays
much more rapidly to lie undisturbed
than to have it broken by cross. blowing.
The edges of the sod do not come to the
light and air, so as to grow, and the
whole mass of vegetable fiber is rapidly
converted into plant food and taken up
by the crop.
Cross blowing is particularly objection
able in wet or clayey soils. If the fur
row slice is turned over eight or ten
inches thick, and allowed to lap few
inches upon its neighbor, it forms
temporary drain in the bottom Of each
furrow. If the burrows run up and down
the slope of the field, they will carry Oft
the water after heavy showers very read
lily in the forepart of the season, when
the ground is most likely TO be injured
by a surplus of water. In breaking up
prairie sod, more shallow blowing is
desirable. The sod rots quicker, and
there is fertility enough near the sur
face.

Liebig ON Lager.

A correspondent has interviewed
Baron Liebig, the celebrated German
chemist, at his home in Munich, and
cleaned his views upon the lager ques-
ton. Beer" said the Baron, Is bet
ter than brandy. Man must have a
stimulant OF some sort. Brandy is
great evil. We find that the consump-
ton of beer is making great Roadway
even in the wine districts-for instance,
in Stuttgart. As nourishment, beer
takes very subordinate place, not
higher, indeed, than potatoes and we
find that in no city is there such an
amount of meat Consumed as in Munich,
where the greatest quantity of beer is
consumed. Beer must have meat or
albumen. Before every beer cellar in
Munich, you will see a cheese stand.
Why? Because in cheese you will find
that albumen which in beer is lacking.
Therefore you see that beer and cheese
20 together by the law of nature But
as an article of nourishment, beer is
very subordinate. Schnapps is a great
misfortune, and destroys the working
power. Through our late war, we have
won great respect for tobacco, tea, cot.
fee, and extract of meat. A physician
told me that, when the wounded would
take nothing else, they have grasped at
cigars their eyes glistening-they felt
a lifting up of the sinking nerves. To-
bacco must have this effect. We could
not do our wounded, frequently, a
greater service than by giving them
cigars. And we came TO the conclusion
that tobacco was valuable to u.s." Baron
Liebig evidently looks to America for
an improvement in beer and the per-
lection in beer drinking. Said he: 1T
is a peculiarly of Americans that they
make everything better that we do. !
am convinced that American beer will,
in time, be better than German. With
us everything remains as it was. The
worst beer brewers are in Bavaria
though it was earlier the best. And
why? Look into your brewery system.
The brewers are only ignorant people,
who brew good beer from routine alone.
They are incapable of helping them
selves. But as soon as the Americans
get nything from US they improve upon
it, and we get it back again as an Amer

Startling Discovery.

During the sitting of court in Con.
necticut, not long ago, on very cold
evening, crowd of lawyers had collect
ed around the fire that blazed cheerfully
on the hearth in the bar-room, when a
traveller entered, benumbed with cold,
but no one moved to give him room to
warm his shins, so he leaned back
against the wall in the back part of the
room.
Presently smart young limb OF the
law addressed him, when the following
dialogue took place:

Did Paul Have n Wife .

speaks Of himself as unincnmbered with
domestic cares, does not preclude the
notion that he might have been wild.

that he went on his missionary journeys

of his assent to the death of stephen,

Plaster for Potatoes.

According to Mr.. Compton, author of
the prize essay on the cultivation of the
potato, very remarkable results are OBJ
tanned from plaster by busting the vines
with it as soon as they are through the
soil again Immediately after the last
blowing and hoeing and at intervals
through the whole growing season. The
first application may be light, the
second heavier, and after that more
bountiful, say 200 pounds to the acre.
1t renders the plants less palatable to
insects, and appears to be fatal to many
of the fungi family. The vines retain a
bright, lively green color, and the tuoers
continue swelling until growth is stop.
ped by the frost besides, potatoes thus
grown are so sound and free from dis.
ease as to be easily kept for the spring
market, without loss by rot. Mr.. Comp
ton says he has seen a field, all planted
with the same variety at the same time,
on one.half Of which, that had received
no plaster, the yield was but 60 bushels
per acre, and many rotten; while the
other half, to which plaster had been
applied, yielded $50 bushels per acre,
and not an unsound one among them.
