What truly beautiful world we live
in! Nature gives up grandeur of
mountains, glens and oceans. and thous-
ands of means for enjoyment. We can
desire no better when in perfect health;
but how often do the majority of people
feel like giving it up disheartened, dis
couraged aud worried out with disease,
when there is no occasion for this feel
ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof that Green's August
Flower will make them as free from
disease as when born. Dyspepsia and
liver complaint is the direct cause OF
seventy-fxe per cent of such maladies
as biliousness, Indigestion, sick head
ache, costiveness, nervous prostration,
dizziness CT the head, alpitation of the
heart, and either distressing symptoms.
Three doses of August Flower will
prove its wonderful effect. Sample
bottles, 10 cents. Try it.

Cheshire Cheese Making.

There is vat vessel with false bot.
tom for hot water or cold to regulate the
temperature Of the milk, placed in a con
venient room close to the other Offices,
and not far from the cow-house. To.
nights milk is put into the vat and cool.
ed down to 81 degrees. In the morning
1t is skinned, the morning milk added
and the cream returned; the rennet and
coloring matter added. 1t is then mixed
we'll together, and the dairymsid goes to
breakfast. The cheese comes and the
temperature is raised to 100 degrees
After breaking down the whey 1t is drawn
off IN cisterns. AS soon as the cheese is
dry it is ground in a mill, sailed, and put
into the round vat or shapes, Which are
placed In the chosen oven, and kept at q
temperature of 70 degrees.
A Cheshire cheese frequently weighs a
hundred weight. A chces of half the
weighs is now becoming popular. Still
the labor would be very great but for the
mechanical appliances. The whey, fol
lnsance, runs first into convenient els
>ern indoors. and when the lighter parts
have risen to the surface, the top is re-
moved fer the sake Of the butter it con-
talns,wbey butter having become an ar
ticie of much esteem when we'll made
The whey next runs into deep tank neal
the piggcries, aud is their pumped up in.
to another cistern, mixed with meal, and
placed before the pigs at the least posi-
bic expenditure Of labor.

THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER.

On the romantic shore of Lake Lucerne,
Beneath my window arc some garden walks
Where now the autumnal frostS the foliage
burn,
And hardy dahias blacken on their stalks
But many-leaved and fresh and fragrant, blows
One solitary fower-a perfect Rose.
This, full of crimson life, as if it had
No thought of death, I've watched, day aite,
While deep in SHOWS the Rigi-K Kuhn was clad
And deep the ssnows in clefts of PLATE lay
Grim mount! above the clouds whose shape
drawn peaks
Have long presaged the storm-and now II
breaks.
Like ships at sea, St. Gothard's SUBMITS strain
And toward Tells chapel all the stored
Is dashed with slanted streaks of misty rain
There's not a spot of color or of sheen
In the duh landscape save that lonely Rose
Leaden the sky, and gray the very SHOWS!
With all of bushes and all fragrance rife,
Loves fragile banner to the gale unfurled,
Bloom brsvely on! Yea, live thy little life,
. Rose II would not pluck thee for the world.
'Twere sentimental folly that would shed
Thy sentien leaves to strew yon sOdden bed.
J Il am the type of the true poets thought;
| am the type of the true lovers heart'-
These words, in melody of perfumes wrought,
Like notes Of music did the flower impart-
I'm gray haired age my youth ia fresh; bloom
up to the ice and blackness of the tomb.
Thou in flesh, and in my petals l,
Arc shadows; but Soul is thine and mine.
am Vision, and Prophecy
And that which makes the poets thought
divine,
And love subtler revelation still,
Is far more real than yon rock-ribbed hill.
"A few short days, or hours, and am gone.
But, lingering here, last of happy race,
Into my bosom all thou lOokest on
gather up-but clothed in summers grace
And shall hang forever in thy mind,
A mystic Rose, Immortality refined.
Yea, these my perfumes shed shall hit thy
sense
With spiritual power when I am dust,
Perchance the last survivor, icons hence.
OF men shall be a Poet aud his trust
The perfect flower OF Manhood, shall resign,
As the perfect Rose, to Love divine"

PulyeriZine the Soil,

Long experience has shown that the
practice of frequent stirring of the soil
among hoed crops, has rendered to coun-
teract the retalding influence of drouth
Iu the first place, the operation increases
the growth of the plants, and sends Their
roots deeper into moist soil below. In
some experiments, cultivating the corn
crop. once week or oftener, he added
twenty bushels per acre to the product.
More commonly the gain, although de-
cided, has not been quite SO great, the
results varying with the fertility of the
soil, and with the wetness Of the season.
Examination OF the soil some inches be-
low the surface in dry time, shows much
more moisture under mellow surface
than ut the same depth in hard baked
soil. 1t is probable that in some in
stances the finely pulverized earth would
dry less rapidly if pressed or rolled than
IT LETT quite loose and porous. But hard
ened by baking, after being soaked with
water, the reverse would be unquestiona-
bly, true.
In many parts Of the country, crops
are now suffering frem drouth, and the
course of treatment here indicated would
tend to lessen its injurious effects. For
corn it is generally admitted; but for po-
tatoes it IS less understood. It Is true
that the potato crop has been seriously
injured by hoeing, when the earth was
hot and dry, the soil being heaped about
the plants. Killing potatoes is always
more or less hurtful, as different expe RI
ments have shown.
We have never found an instance
where potatoes, after being planted four
OF tive inches deep, in a good bed of
mellow earth, did not give heavier
yield when cultivated fiat, than when
side by side the earth was thrown up
against them. Farmers who tear the ef-
fccts Of drouth, may lessen them by
keeping mellow surface by the frequent
passage of the cultivator, and by keeping
the surface fiat They may boone easily
satisfied on this point by treating alter
nate strips Of land in both ways, and
measuring the crops.-Count,y Gentle
man.

The Murdered Major.

Mr.. Il. T. Thornburgh who was muir
dered last week by the Ute Indians was

born and raised at New Market in jeff
ersOn county. lie was q brother of
Mrs. DIR. Rodefer of Cleveland, and also
a brother of Hon. j. NJ. Thornburgh
eX-mcmber of Congress from the 2nd
district. The following particulars we
take from the Knoxville Tribune:
In the spring of 1862, when a little
more than 10 years old, he left his
home and crossed the Cumberland
mountains into Kentucky to join the
Union army. lie enlisted as 4 private
soldier in Company a." 9th Tennes-
sec Infantry, organized about that time
by Colonel, after wards Gen. Joseph A.
Cooper. lie was appointed Sergeant
Major of the Regiment and soon after
wards was detailed on the staff of
Brigadier Gen. Spears, commanding Il
brigade Of Tennessee troops.
Lin the summer of 1863 he was offered
an appointment to West Point, which,
some hesitation he accepted, and enter
ed the Military Academy there soon af-
ter. lie made an excellent record, and
graduating, was appointed to a Lieu
tenancy in the Second l.. S. Artillery.
lie was promoted to a First Lieutenant
CIV in 1870. In 1871, he was detailed as
Instructor of Military Tactics, and
COmmaudant of Cadets in the East Ten
nessee University here, and served
with credit to himself and to the salts
faction Of the managers of the insti-
tute, for some two years. lie was re-
lieved from there and assigned to duty
at Fort Foote, below Washington, in
the State of Maryland, where he re-
manned some time. In 1873, lie was
appointed a Paymaster in the army,
with the rank of Major, and served in
that capacity until Il year ago, when he
was transferred to the Fouth Infantry,
retaining his rank of Major. lie led
an expedition against the indians last
winter, in which, though not altogeth-
cr successful, we know his conduct met
with the appreciation of Gen. Crook,
in command of that department.
On his 2Sth birthday, Dec. 2Gth, 1870
Mai. Thornburgh was married to Ida
w. Clark, daughter of Col. Clark, a
paymaster in the Regular Army, who
together with two children. a boy and
a girl, are left to o his cruel and
untimely death. They will have the
sincere sympathy of II host of warm
personal friends, and a nation will join
them in mourning the death of the
gallant young officer.
