STE wandered M Sre wandered down.
From field 20 field ON town 10 town;
Her slender feet were torn and bare,
TIE dead leaves rgieu IN her hair,
Her face was wan with bitter pain,
Defaced with cruel wind and rain,
She mad hut one thought in her brain
my child. my little child"
She did not care for winds that blew,
For frosts that chilled her through and
through,
For solemn stars high overhead,
For lonely forests full Of dread:
The direSt evil known To fate
Had brought her To a. j. sad estate.
Deceived. forsaken, desclate,
She cried: my child, my child"
Not God had wrought her helpless woe,
Had sent her wandering 10 and fro;
She did not fear, alone win him,
Though sense were dead and soul were dim.
From man the blow that felled her came,
From man her craving grief and shame,
On him lay all the bitter blame,
From him she asked her child.
"My child my child =" with awful cry,
She thrilled the earth and rent the SKY.
My little baby, torn away
When smiling in my arms she lay,
My broken heart, my tbTobbing breast,
NY empty arms, my vanished rest.
On God, why am thus oppressed?
MY child my child. my child :"
In vain she called. H. vain she prayed,
She leaned against "a riven tree,
Ashast and faint with misery,
When suddenly. in middle air,
The Sullen Angel OF Despair
Hung poised to- hear that cSaSelesS prayer:
MY child. my little child :"

His white locks on the tempest spread,
His eyes were dull with wrath and gloom,

No stainless seTaph stayed its fligst,
No starbeam cleft The lonely night,
No human pity breathet a sigh.

The Cedar Min e. OF New Jersey.

Among the strange productions OF Cape

trees of the white cedar, Cypressals UtyOiCles of

other, and there is abundant evidence that
they are the growth OF different successive

the log floats to the surface. 1t Is curious

The patients should be kept in seclusion
until desqusmation is ended, and should
then be carefully washed and attired In fresh,

First of all good -four and good yeast
are important. Take 8 medium-si1ed
potatoes; boil and mash fine in an

pour in sufficient boiling water to make

when sufficiently cool add a teacup of
sweet yeast, stirring we'll; set it in a

hours, according to -four; then mix and
mold 20 minutes; put it back in your

Bots and Horses.

An article in the Farmer, March 18th
bots and horses-from Wilkes Spirit,
concludes by saying that "no treatment
avails in efecting the removal of bots
from horses stomach before the natu-
raj period of their exit" I venture to
affirm (but only from the result Of one
case reported to me by gentleman to
whom I recommended its triaD that
chloroform will remove and probably
kill them. In the case referred to the
animal discharged a large quantity of
dead bots. The horse recovered. Rec
ipe: Soft soap, teacupful; common salt,
tablespoonful dissolve in warm water
one and a half or two plnts. Add chlor-
form-tablespoonful and a half or two.
Shake we'll. Drench Immediately.
The soft soap and salt act as purga-
tives; also to suspend the chloroform.
The chloroform may be repeated, sus-
pended in any mucilage as of fax seed,
slippery elm, sassafras pith, gum arabic,
ETC., etc.
The above prescription is unsurpassed
in the treatment of collie of horses and
mules.-N. P. Scott, in Maryland Farmer.

How to Get Rid Of Flies.

The Rev. George Meares Drought,
writing from ireland, says: "For three
years I have lived in town, and during
that time my sitting room has been free
from flies, three or four only walking
about my breakfast table, while all my
neighbours rooms were crowded. often
congratulated myself on my escape, but
never knew the reason of it till two days
ago. l then had occasion to move my
goods to another house, while l remained
on for two days longer. Among other
things moved were two boxes of Gera-
NUNS and Calceolaries, which stood in
my window, the window being always
open to full extent, top and bottom.
The boxes were not gone half an hour
before my room was as full of flies as
those around me. This, to me, is anew
discovery, and perhaps it may serve to
encourage others in that which is always
source of pleasure, and which now
proves also to be source Of comfort, viz:
window gardening.-London Gardener.

Mind and Health.

The mental condition has far more
influence upon the bodily health than is
generally supposed. 1t is no doubt true
that ailments of the body cause de-
pressing and morbid condition of the
mind; but it is no less true that SORROW
full and disagreeable emotions produce
disease in persons who, uninfuenced by
them, would be in sound health-or, if
disease is not produced, the functions
are disordered. Not even physicians
always consider the importance of this
fact. Agreeable emotions set in motions
nervous currents, which stimulate
blood, brain, and every part of the sys-
tenn into healthy activity; while grief,
disappointment of feeling, and brooding
over present sorrows or past mistakes,
depress all at the vital forces. To be
physically well one must, in general, be
happy. The reverse is not always true !;
one may be happy and cheerful, and yet
be constant sufferer in body.
