THE OLD Sill YER DOLLAR.

How dear to my heart are the coins of my child
hood
When fond recollection recalls them to view;
Dads scanty gifts in occasional mild mood;
The hardly gained pelf which my infancy knew,
The old-fashioned copper, with green rust corrod-
ed:
The smooth-sided levy, the sixpences small;
The pilastered quarters, by long eroded,
The old silver dollar. loved better than ALL
The old silver dollar. our dads legal dollar,
The bright shining dollar, loved better than all.
It's broad gleaNing disk hailed as a treasure.
The promised reward of long hours in the field :;
TO grasp its dear form exquisite pleasure,
lie strongest and keenest that money could
yield.
How ardent l seized it. with hands that were itch
ing.
And quick to the long pockets bottom it fell,
There carefully guarded from wasteful bewitching,
Till yielded at last to the circusman's spell,
The old silver dollar, our dads legal dollar
The bright shining dollar, that they loved so
well.
How good from the hucksters grimed hand to
receive it,
AS pay for our butter, our eggs and our sass !;
The crispiest bill could not tempt me TO leave 1t
Though the bank-note detecter pronounced it
first class.
Since now is discarded that loved legal tender,
The tears of regret will increasingly fall.
Asfancv reverts to its size and its splendor.
| vearn for the dollar loved better than all.
The old silver dollar. our dads legal dollar
The bright shining dollar, loved better than all

In the Bulgarian language, Schipka
means wild rose. The village, which is
at the bottom of the Balkan Pass, crossed
by the Russiana, and which bears the
same name, consists Of about 800
houses, the inhabitants of which are oc-
cupied in the cultivation and sale OF
roses. The principal town Of the Valley
of Roses. at present ravaged by war, is
Kazanlik, which the troops Of General
Gourka lately seized on. Count de
Moltke, in his letters on the East, has
the following remarks on that region:
The little town of Kazanlik is hid
den III a small forest of gigantic walnut
trees. Even the minarets do not sue
ceed in rising above the mountains OF
foliage and branches under which they
are buried. The abundance of water in
that district surpasses all conception
just as in Lombardy all the fields and
gardens are irrigated by bitches and
rivulets. Kazanlik is the Cashmere OF
Europe, the Gulistan of Turkey, the
country of roses. The flower is not cul-
tivated, as with U.S. in pots and gardens;
but IN fields and in burrows, like pota-
toes. Nothing can be more charming
than such a plantation of roses. Mill
ions upon millions of red leaves are
spread over the bright green of the rose
field, and yet at this moment not one
quarter of the buds are opened. AT
Kazanlick is made the oil of roses which
Is of such great value, and which is diff
ticult to procure unalloyed, even at Con
stantinople."

for q corner lot on the principal street.

Oh, villain, thou Hest The women OF
Burlington neglect their domestic du-
ties to think of sweet, loving things to
say to each other, the men get up in
the night to shake hands and sing

girl in Burlington, and she was so
ashamed of it that she married a Mus

each other every day presents of beau

| VERMIN DEsrRoYER.-The following is
a specific for destroying vermin Two
pounds Of alum dissolved in three or
four quarts of boiling water. Let it re-
main over the fire till all the alum has
dissolved: Then apply it with brush,
while boiling hot, to every joint Or ere

shelves, and to the joints and crevices of
bedsteads. Brush all the cracks in the
floor and the mopboards with this mix

and powdered alum used to stop up rat
holes, and the walls and cracks and
corners washed with the above men
toned hot alum and borax, will drive
away rats as well as insects.
COOKING CABBAGE-Instead of cutting
the cabbage-head in quarters and throw
ing it into a pot with piece of fat
meat, just take out the heart from each
piece and drop it into a kettle of cold
water with handful of salt Let it boil
slowly until tender, anC drain off all the
water; add piece Of butter, spoonful
af sweet cream and some pepper; stir
it up well and serve hot. For hot slaw
cut the cabbage fine, either with a knife
on the table Or put into the chopping-
bowl-get it in small pieces some way;
then cook it until tender in just enough
water to keep it from burning. When
tender, add a spoonful or two of fried
meat fat, or butter if preferred, the same
Of thick cream, vinegar to suit the taste,
and pepper and salt the same. Don't
have it SO juicy that it will spoil every
thing else on your plate. Cold slaw
should be chopped as fine as mince-
meat, and while chopping add little
salt and pepper. Put into a deep dish,
and pour on good vinegar, sweetened as
for lettuce. Dish it out in deep sauce
plates. This is excellent with oyster
soup.

A Parrot Story.

The loquacity of parrots has not gen
orally been regarded as proof of their
superior intelligence, but it has been
accepted as evidence in late trial, and
resulted in the dismissal from the Brit
ish navy of an engineer who had held
his position for fourteen years. The
ship Simeon brought from India no less
than 200 parrots. One of these, belong
ing to an officer, was missing, A hunt
was instituted, and it was found in the
screw tunnel, where it was quite possible
for the accused engineer to hide it. The
question next arose whether it was the
special parrot about whose disappear
ance the trouble had arisen The pros
ecution relied on the birds CONVEX
sation " more than on any peculiarities
of its color OF shape of its beak. The
engineer Was found guilty and chashier
ed. This Is probably the first case ever
decided on such evidence. We may APP
ply to it the warning of the book of
Eccleslastes regarding secret conspir-
acies against the State: g A bird Of the
air shall carry the voice, and that which
hath wings shall tell the matter"

TO CORRESPONDENTS.


Some of our local correspondents
of late will not find their commune
cations in our columns. We regret
the necessity of emitting them, but
transactions of the highest moment
both in Congress and in State Legis-
lature demand our space to the ex-
clusion of interesting local matter.
We are not insensible to the great
importance of knowing when Mrs.
POtiphar gives a party, of being kept
posted as to the succession of Miss
Flora McFlimsey's beaux, and of
knowing which of them wears burn
sides and which goattees, how young
Mooncalfs moustache is waxing and
being waxed but there is a time for
all things, and these high ETHEREAL
topics must sometimes give way to
such coarser matter as the silver
question, resumption and repudia-
ton. But don't quarrel with us,
ladies your time will come again
our columns, we hope, will soon
again sparkle with the repartee of
S. NJ. A. c., and glow with the ten
der sentiment of L. d. A, only have
patience with us, mend your pens
and gather honey against the time
for sweet things. Solid beef and POI
tatoes are at present in demand.
