A singular accident occurred in Liver
pool few weeks ago. An orange peddler
was leaning against a cask at the corner
of a street, watching some workmen who
were opening a sewer man hole, when a
cart came rapidly around the corner,
striking the cask and pitching the peddler
down the man-hole into the sewer. Every
effort was made to rescue him without
success, and his body could not be found,
although careful search was made throu oh
the main sewers.

GAS LIME AS A FERTILIZER.


The experiments with gas lime in my
Vlclnlty have been very satisfactory, |
have the testimony Of three farmers which
added to my own experiments induce me to
th'nh very favorablv Of this fertilizer. and
t" believe the 'Farmers' Book is not very
far wrong as regards its value. One of the
farmers alluded 20 informed me that he ap-
plied 90 bushels per acre obtained from the
Richmond gas works, on wheat dragged in
on the surface Just previous 10 seeding. and
that the result was a difference of nearly II
Iool IN the growth of the wheat at the time
OF heading, compared with that which did
not have the application. and = greatly in
creased Yield. In the spring of 1871 |
applied gas lime so to 90 bushels to the
acre. on eight acres OF oats, following corn.
the line being dragged on the surface lust
previous TO sowing the oats Glover seed
was then Sown and brushed in ; and the re-
suit was an excellent crop of oats. and tho
best first crop of clover ever seen in the
neghborhood. In 1872 a most excellent
crop OF clover was reaped from this land.
Gas lime no doubt varies in it's constituents,
ANA Is sometimes Injurious, but have seen
no bad effects from its application on the
growing crop.

Frederick Henry Vane saws that his
discovery OF his rights, in 1866, was acci-
dental. His mother Lady Hannah Vanc,
had with IN indiscretion which some nm
gallant people attribute as a peculiar
weakness OF her sex, talked over the mat
ter with certain very dear friends of hers
Returning from one of his wanderings,
some of these very dear friends, with Il
charming interest in the concerns of the
family did him the favor to tell him what
the old lady had so unwiselv let slip.
This put him upon the scent. He at once
set to work examining into the truth OF
the astounding story, that his father had
pntalcd an imposture upon the family
fortune. Going down into Cumberland
he hunted up the parochal register OF
births; and there, turning to the record Of
his eIder'brother's advent into this ''wale
Of tears" or rather of his baptism, found
to his amazment that that record had been
evidently tampered with. The color Of
the ink and other indications betrayed the
frand the words 'hon March %, 1877"
had been carefully inserted after the origi-
nal and genuine entry As the marriage
took place March of that year, of course
the birth would have been legitimate if it
b'tt o'ttlltt 90 'tfttF'i ny ilit iittl-lilStI-
ton. The fraud seemed to be perfectly
clear, 50 clear, indeed, that the legal
advisers of the baronet IN possession pre-
fer to rest their defence upon the Statute
of Limitations. Without attempting, so
far as yet appears, to deny the illegiti-
macy, or the fact that old Sir Frederick
perpetrated a fraud to impose his eldest
son upon the title and estates, they claim
that the present possessor was not party
to it, and having been in peaceable posses
sion for a longer period than twenty
years, is entitled by the Statute of Limita-
tions to retain it. The answer to this is
that the plaintiff, having been absent from
England the greater part of his life, had
no means of discovering the fraud. The
case is well calculated TO create a stir in
fashionable circles, and II pretty general
sympathy seems to exist on behalf of the
uncle claimant. The law of England un-
doubtedly is that a child born in wedlock
not legitimatized by that event, nor can he
be by the will or acknowledgement of the
parents; yet Sir Francis was surely Sir
Frederick's eldest son, if not technically.
at least in fact and not a few hope that

THE TIDE Is OUT.
BY REV. w. W. MARSH.

The tide is out, and faint and far
The lessening ripples play;
4 strange, swift loss of aliluence falls
Upon the sunny bay;
And stranded kelp. and tangled weeds,
And fiat, vet wastes Of sand.
With eauut white rocks, aud shallow
pools,
Distigure all the strand
And yet, an hour agone l passed:
What wealth of wave was here.
With all its creeks and;channels full,
The bay lay broad and clear;
Its fresh green isles seemed anchored
deep,
Tapped to their grasses edge,
And deep-a blue seas secret-slept
The weed and wave worn ledge.
0 cbbing tide, and naked shores!
0 shrunken, shallow bay!
How sharp and true the type We bring,
OF my souls gauge to-day
And yet, but yesterday | knew
Its fartltcst bands were brimmcd,
And fair, green isles, in amber light,
On its still depths were limned.
| deemed l drew, in thought and word,
From unguessed depths of power;
And those dim depths flashed bright
with gems
In that full flooded hour;
But ah! to-day the tide is out!
Behold these tangled weeds;
The bare, brown shores and wcltering
pools,
Reveal my spirit needs.
0 fair, bright bay: thy wealth Of wave
Wells not from thine own springs,
Nor leaps it in from mountain heights
Fresh as the mornings wings;
/ And thou, who mark st its ebb and flow
The truth is too far for thee;
, The flood which fills thy deepest depths
>. Flows from a far off sea.
0 shoreless sea! 0 deep of love!
Thou tide of life for me,
: Flow through the channels Of life
4. With fuller tides and free
i Ebb no more from out my soul;
Leave no weltering shore;
But grant through all my BEINGS reach
;, A tioOu-tide cvermore.
