If love were what the rose is,
And were like the leaf,
Our lives would grow together
In sad or singing weather,
Brown fields or Powerful closes,
Green pleasure or gray grief;
If love were what the rose is,
And / were like the leaf.
If were what the words are,
And love were like the tune,
With double sound and single,
Delight our lips would mingle,
With kisses glad as birds are
That get sweet rain at noon;
If were what the words are,
And love were like the tune.
If you were life, my darling,
And I, your love, were death,
We'd shine and snow together
Ere March made sweet the weather
With daffodil and starting,
And hours of fruitful breath;
If you were life, my darling,
And I, your love, were death.
If you were thrall to sorrow,
And I were page to JOY,
We'd play for lives and seasons,
With loving looks and treasons,
And tears of might and morrow,
And laughs of maid and boy;
If you were thrall to sorrow,
And were page to joy.
If you were April's lady,
and were lord in May,
We'd throw with leaves for hours,
And draw for day with flowers,
Till day like night were shady,
And night were bright like day;
If you were April's lady,
And 1 were lord in May.
IF you were queen Of pleasure,
And I were king Of pain,
We'd hunt down Love together,
Pluck out his flying feather,
And teach his feet to measure,
And find his mouth rein ;
If you were queen of pleasure,
And were king of pain.

The Shield of Health.

Debility opens the door TO disease. Nor is this
all When the door hasteen opened and the terri
BILE intruder has entered. physical prostration
ders its progress to the citadel of life comparatively
easy Therefore, bar the door, and If possible keep
it barred or, II the enemy has already secured a
foothold, rally the strength of the system and
assist nature to drive the foe of health and life.
Ire means of doing this is within every ones
reach Brace up the physique with Hostetter's
stomach Bitters when there are elements in the
air YOU breathe or the water you drink that
morbid and unwhOlesome. This rs barring the
door. Epidenics and endenics will assail in vain
the living fortress that is thus protected. II may
laugh a siege to scorn" But If this precautionary
measure has been neglected the seeds OF disease
can be elected by the same potent vegetable agent
that would, if taken earlier have prevented their
obtaining an entrance into the system. The slim
stating, invigornting, regulating and purifying
properties Of this vital elixir render It most formil
dable antagonist of all facilitating disorders. The
rapidly and certainty with which it vanqushes
fever aud que, rheumatism, bilious collie, indIges-
ton and nervous complaints. is due in small
degree to the strength II imparts to the muscular
FIBRE the nerves and the membranes which line
stomach and he bowels 1t may be safely said
that A course of the Bitters commenced now Will
be a sure protection against most of the complaints
incident TO the season.

EDITORIAL OPNIoNs.-An advertise
ment is, as a general rule, an elaborate
eulogium on the merits OF something
which the advertiser desires to SELL
The editors and publishers of the paper
in which it appears are not responsible
for its statements. Sometimes, how
ever, highly important discoveries or
inventions, announced to the world
through the business department of the
press, seem to demand few words of
editorial commentator. We have no
hesitation in saying that the excellent
medicine introduced by DR.. Joseph
Walker of California, under the name
of VINEGAR BTTTERs, belong to this
category, and has a just claim to a
favorable notice. There can be no
doubt as to its utility as a tonic, stom-
achic and Alternative. We are cogniZant
of many instances in which it has cured
cases of chronic dyspepsia, supposed to
be incurable, and know that the estima-
ton in which it is held as a remedy for
bilious and nervous disorders, intermit-
tent and remittent fevers, rheumatism
and general debility, is founded on ex-
perience and we'll deserved. The testi-
mony of :" a cloud of witnesses" goes to
show that it is eminently useful in a
large majority of the disorders to which
the human family are subject. The fact
that it contains no alcohol commends it
to the confidence of that large and in
creasing class of the community who
insist that all spirituous stimulants are
active poisons.

Feeding Pigs.

The Country Gentleman contains a
letter from a correspondent who says
that he fed thirteen pigs ffty-four
pounds of common meal day and then
weighed them, and found that each had
gained an average of twelve pounds in
a week. At this rate, twenty-nine
pounds of meal produced twelve pounds
of line weight, which is larger return
than we recollect to have before seen.
He says: "I think it will pay to feed
pigs that will do as well as that. They
are Yorkshire and Chester cross, and I
think could be made to do more when
older, as they are too young yet to feed
much "

EqnaIlty OF naan . lcstiny,

The different ranks and orders of
mankind may be compared to as many
streams and rivers of running water.
All proceed from an original small and
obscure source; some spread wider,
travel over more countries and make
more noise in the passage than others,
but tend alike to an ocean where dis
lin ;tion ceases, and where the largest
and most celebrated rivers are equally
lost and absorbed with the smallest and
most unknown streams.

ALooking-Glass Rat Trap.

A man i'll Pennsylvania has invented
a rat trap that is made to operate upon
the selfish passions of the poor rat, and
lure him into trouble. The Mechanic
and Fu1naes, in a description of the
trap, says that mirror is set in the
back part of the device, beyond the
bait, and as his ratship is out on for
aging expedition, he espies the bait,
at the same time believes his own image
in the mirror to be another rat making
for it on the opposite side. This is too
much for rat nature to stand and be
cool over, so he rushes for the bait and
is ca11pht

Interesting to Farmers.

A series Of experiments, instituted to
test the average loss in weight by dry
ing, shows that corn loses one-tifth,
and wheat one-fourteenth by. the pro-
cess. From this the statement is made
that farmers viii make more by selling
unshelled corn in the fall at seventy-fve
cents than the following summer at one
dollar per bushel; and their wheat at
$1.32 in December is equal to $1.5 fl r
the same wheat in the June following.
This estimate is made on the basis of
interest at seven per cent. and takes no
account of loss from the depredations
Of vermin. These facts are worthy Of
consideration.

The LOnlon Engineer states that the
highest railway speeds in the world are at
tanned in England, and that the highest OF
all is reached on the Great Western Rail
way-the sIeed on the latter being given
roundly rs fifty miles an hour. Instances
are given, however, of sixty-five and sew
enty miles an hour. and the Engineer
thinks it wuldbe possible to lay perma-
nent way - well, and to maintain 1t in
such excellent order, that trains might
travel on it with perfect safety at enc hum
dred miles m hour-indeed, miles upon
miles of such track are now to be found on
most of the great main lines, but nowhere
can one hunlred consecutive miles OF per-
manent w,v in perfection be found
and. as a CLAIM is no stronger than its
weakest link. so few hundred yards OF
bad track would spoil, for the purpose OF
| travelling at one hundred miles an hour, a
whole line. The really important ques-
| ton, argues the Engineer, is, given the
line and the cars for it, what shall the en-
gine be like, and is it possible to construct
an engine at ALL which, with a moderately
heavy train, will attain and maintain We
locity of one hundred miles an hour, on a
line with no grade heavier than say ono
| i'm three hundred? After thorough ex-
| animation of the question in all its bear.
| ings. the Enyineer's figures prove that it Il
| absolutely Impossible to obtain speed o
one hundred miles an hour on a railway
if the resistance is anything like one hun

Chemical Remedy for the Potato
Disease.

Professor Alexander S. Wilson, in a
communication to the Chemical NeUs,
states that he has made analyses of the
tubers of diseased potatoes, and finds in
the ashes marked deficiency in the salts
of magnesia and lime. In the ash of the
healthy tuber from 5 to 10 per cent. of
maynesia salts are usually found, and over
5 per cent. of lime. But in the ashes of
diseased tubcrs, although the proper guam
titles of other minerals were found, the
percentage of magnesia was only from
per cent. up to 3.94 per cent. and OF lime
only LII Ier cent.
With these considerations before us,
think, says Professor Wilson, that we are
justified in appealing to chemical science
to solve the problem rs to the prevention
of the diselse-tO suggest not a substance
that will destroy the enemy, for this is
next to impossible, but to give the plant
such nourshment that will enable 1t to re-
sist the adverse circumstances iii which II
is placed. as well as the attacks OF its own
peculiar enemies.
Some years ago, Professor Thorpe found,
from the analyses of diseased and healthy
orange trees, that, in the former, the
amounts of lime and magnesia are deflc-
lent: the same thing, we have seen, is the
case i'm the diseased potato plant.
1t has lately been shown by DIR. Cract
Calvert, that lime is one of the few sub
stances which we know that are capable
of altogether preventing the development
| of fungi i'm organic solutions. He doe
not give any experiments relating to tn
action of caustic magnesia on fungi, bu
doubtless its action will be found to b.
| similar.
Here, then, is a curious and, at the samt
| time, significant fact: Diseased pOtatoe
are deficient i'm lime salts: lime prevent
the development of fungi. May not TIN
development of fungi in the vessels o
plants be frrthered by this deficiency
The circumstances are such rs scarcely t.
leave room for doubt. So Tar, then, theOr,
and practice agree; lime has been foun'
by experience to be useful in preventin,
the disease, and / cannot doubt that mag
nesia, if tried, will be found to have
similar effect.
