THE PLOW.
BY O. W. HOLMES.

Clear the brown path TO meet the coulter's
CLEAN!
Lo, on he comes behind his smoking
team,
With tolls bright dew drop on his sun
burnt brow,
The lord Of earth-thc hero Of the pillow
First in the field before the reddening
sun,
Last in the shadows when the day is
done,
Line after line along the burning sod,
Marks the broad acres where his feet have
trod;
Still where he treads the stubborn clods
divide,
The smooth. fresh furrow opens deep and
wide;
Matted and dense the tangled turf up.
Mellow and dark the ridgy cornticld
cleaves;
Up the steep hillside where the laborirg
train
Stands on the long track that scores the
level plain
Through the moist valley clogged with
oozi:'5 clay,
The patient convoy break its destined
way;
At every turn the loosening chains re-
sound,
The swinging plowshare circles glistening
round,
Till the vide field one billowy waste ap-
pears,
And wearied hands unbind the painting
steers.

parchment charm forty years before.
She had followed in his own footsteps
and had been using the charm for the
benefit of her neighbors and friends.
The Chief Justice called her up, and as
she unfolded some old greasy rags, she
presented to him the well-worn parch-
ment with the cabalistic word in his
own handwriting written upon it. It
is needless to add that the woman was
at once discharged. If the great Chief
Justice had previously entertained any
doubts on the subject of witchcraft,
they were now removed.
There is curious sequel to the Incl.
dent above related. Some twenty-five
years ago the writer of this article was
sitting in the private Office iii Wall
street Of the late Mr.. S., then q
wealthy retired merchant, and acting
president Of one of the principal Wall
Street banks. He wasa quaint, curious
man, fond of the marvellous, and dis
posed to belief in spiritualism,
then first coming into prom
inent notice. Our conversation had
been continued for some time, discus
sing second sight, supernatural appear
ances, and especially Kidd's buried
treasures, when he suddenly changed
the subject, saying, abruptly, II can
cure the fever and ague.'' On asking
how, he produced small piece Of
parchment with cabalistic word writ
ten on it in the Greek characters, say
ing it must be bound on the wrist, and
the disease will disappear or go away.
He did not tell me how or when he had
obtained the wonderful charm. Nor
was at that time aware of the trial be-
fore referred to, and sure am that he
could have had no knowledge of it.
A hundred and fifty years had come
and gone since the fallacy had been ex-
posed by Lord Chief Justice Holt. It
is probable that at some time during the
forty years preceding that trial the
woman possessing the pretended charm
had communicated the secret, and given
copy to some friend emigrating to
America, and that it may have been
handed down through successive gener'
