SCARE CRows.-Take two small, cheap
mirrors, fasten them back to back, attach
a cord to one angle and hang them to
pole. When the glass swings, the suns rays
are reflected all over the field, even lift be u
large one, and even the oldest and bravest
of crows will depart precipitately, should
one of its lightning flashes fall on him.
Another sort is the artificial hawk, made
from potato and long goose and turkey
feathers. The maker can exercise his i'm
itative skill in sticking the feathers into
the potato so that they resemble the spread
wings and tail of the hawk. 1t is aston
ishing what terocious looking bird of
prey can be constructed from the above
simple material. it only remains to hang
the object from tall bent pole, and the
wind will do the rest The bird will make
swoops and dashes in the most threatening
manner.

GALL SEED is IN THE Sewers HANDS. "-Rosetti
Ten thousand sewers through the land
Passed needless on their way;
Ten thousand seeds in every hand,
OF every sort had they.
They cast seed here, they cast seed there,
They cast seed everywhere.
The land a forest straightway grew,
With plants of every kind;
And kindly fruits, and poisonous, too,
In that wood could you find.
For trees grew here, and trees grew there,
And trees grew everywhere.
Anon, as many year went by,
Those sewers came once more;
And wandered meath the leaf-hid sky,
And wondered at the store.
For fruit hung here and fruit hung there,
And fruit hung everywhere.
Then plucked they many berry bright,
None could their right deny
And some ate to their long delight,
And some ate but to die.
While some plucked here, and some plucked
there,
And some plucked everywhere.
Nor knew they in that tangled wood
The trees that were their own;
Yet as they plucked as each one should,
Each plucked what he had sowG.
So do men here, so do men there,
So do men everywhere.

symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
edgeofthe ribs, increases onpres-
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder-blade, and
it frequently extends to the top Of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss Of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There isgenerally loss
ofmemory, accompanied withapain-
full sensation Of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. Aslight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofweariness and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains Of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to Try
it. In fact, he distrusts every REM
edy. Several of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them ex-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

Socially there is not much going
on here now, the principal event Of
the day is the dress parade in the
evening, and the out Of door concert
by the band afterwards. Most of
the ladies at the post walk to the
garrison to witness dress parade,
which is also novel sight to US al.
though we see it so often, and then
we adjourn to the piazza of some Of
our friends where we listen to the
music of the band, and when that is
over we walk in the moonlight with
either our bachelor friends or mar
ried ones if beaux are scarce.

The Government of Cities.

A lengthy bill has been laid before the Penn
Sylyania legislature as the result of the laborS
OF commission on municipal government
which has been in session in that state for
several months. The plan of utilizing the
deliberations of a commission for the purpose
of Improvement in the government of cities
has already been tried i'm New York, and re-
suited in the report of municipal cOnStitu-
tiOnal amendment. The bill proposed by the
Pennsylvania commission aims to effect that
local questions in each city shall be decided by
properly constituted local authorities. 1t pro-
yideS that the corporate powers of cities shall
be enlarged so as to include the right to collect
license taxes on all trades and occupations
and on sign-bOards and telegraph poles, and
to arrest and set at work Migrants and nOtO-
riOuS thieves found within the city limits. The
ordinary powers of raising taxes of course re-
mains. The legislative power of the city is to
be vested in a select council and common
council The mayors term is to be three
years. The executive departments of each
city are to consist of departments of public
safety, public works, finance, city comptroller,
law, education, charities and correction, and
the sinking fund commission. The councils
are to have exclusive power in appropriating
money for local purposes, but the mayor can
veto separate items of appropriation bills.
Some of the main provisions of the bill are
changes, and in most cases improvements on
the general system of municipal government
which now prevails In spite of its cOmplexity
and prOliXity the sensible suggestions of the
bill on many points will give it a creditable
place in the discussion which is to end in the
determination of the best form of government
for a CITY,
