Please open the window and let the morning light
How I've waited for its coming through the long and
lonely night
Yes, waited by smoking lamps unearthly, fiiekering
glare,
That only made the gloom within grow deeper every
where
And all without silent save the patter of the rain
And wondered how the world could rest when l was
racked with painl
All even now how few that know another day is
born
Only the flowers and the birds are out to greet the
morn;
How few that know how full of gold the sunbeams
really are.
And how delightfully."- they rest upon the hills afar =
How rich the thrushs song, and more-how sweet the
morning breezei
Where is the painter that the emerald of the
trees,
Or sketch the wlIite-capped that dance adown
the Chippewa,
Each a minute mirror of the glorious god of davi
Ali Wonder comes a woman, with measured step
Upon the bridge-I too there but one short week
ago
Another still; this time man. How hasty is his
tread
He looks as if he murmured some to leave his cOzy
bed.
To bring faith and happiness, is Gods sweet boon
of health
For though marked the beauty of the sky and earth
below,
1 did not know how rich was just short week
ago.
Two dscontented laborers bound for their work are
they,
Yet gladly I'd exchange my couch for their long
ing-day,
If might stand upon the bridge sweet health upon
my cheek,
Instead of being Gagged up here, weary, worn and
weak.
Yes, open wide the window and let in the morning
| light
! We wOud not know how bright the day if twere not
for the night;
| Nor do We ever realize how health and strength car
Our souls with purest happiness, till We are weak

Edward D. Smith in letter to the
Turf, Field and Farm, of Oct %. tells
the following about sacred bull: Among
the many curious and unaccountable for
nations of nature in her makeup of the
animal creation, there is not one instance
recorded that wnl compare with the ami
NAL now under consideration. This most
wonderful curiosity is short horned
Brahmin or sacred bull, imported from
Calcutta by Dir. William Denison Folger,
and can be seen on board of the ship
Seindia, at present docked at the En-
pire Store, near Catherine ferry. Brook
lyn. This animal was purchased at a
large sum by Mr.. Folger from Col. Um-
Der Jung, Bahadoor Rama. representa-
tive of II. M. the King of Napaul, who
raised him he is four years old. The
colonel has made fortune by this bull
from the natives of Calcutta, who Wor-
shipped him. This bull, like many others
of his breed, has a very prominent feshy
protuberanee on the top of the shoulders
or withers, which is about seven inches
in diameter, and this lump has q dis
tinct pocket in the back part of it tow
ard the hips. The natives, when coming
to worship him, used to deposit their
service money in this pocket for the COL
onel. This bull has still greater curl
osity attached to him. this being most
perfect resemblance of human arm from
the shoulder down to the fingers, show
ing every joint as in the human arm,
hand and fingers, with the earpal bones.
This arm is attached to the center por-
ton of the shoulder blade, about six In
ches from the top or upper portion OF
blade The natives have tied, by the
means of a gold cord or wire, q silver
ornament around the wrist of this arm,
where it still remains. When this sa-
cred animal was being put on board the
ship there, about three thousand of the
natives assembled together, and kneeled
down and worshiped Linn, and bid hin
long and last farewell. His present
owner will take him to England. Sever
al American gentlemen waited upon Dir
Folger and offered him several thousand
dollars for this bull, desiring to keel

Flow OF SAP.-A Mr.. Phelps of Bur-
lington, has been studying the flow of
sap from trees. One Of his most inter-
esting experiments is the following: In
the time of the fow of sap, take fresh
green sapling or limb of birch, or some
wood which flows sap freely. of about
the diameter of the auger hole made in
tapping maple tree, AMI clear off the
bark for half an inch from one end, and
drive or press it into the augert hole, SO
that the shoulder of the bark of the
green stick viii fit against the bark Of
the tree, as in grating Then set a
bucket under the other extremity of the
limb or sapling. which is also cut off,
and the sap viii be found dropping from
the end fartherest from the tree. almost
instantaneously, no matter what may be
the length of the stick /; and it will con-
tinue to run as long as that days run
of sap continues, and asSfastEas through
common spout. In this way he has
brought sap from different trees into the
same bucket In using birch stick,
and tasting the first which was yielded,
be found it to have q birch taste. and
concludes that the maple sap, when com.
mencing to find its way through the
stick, as soon IS it is inserted in the
tree. instantly moves the whole body o.
the birch sap till it is exhausted, wher
the maple sap runs as freely through il
new medium as it did 10 the origina
| tree.
