OUT IN THE COLD.
BY d, II. LONG.

Out in the cold now I'm wandering alone,
Far from my friends and far from my homo;
Far from the scenes of my childhood 80 dear,
Shrinking before the cold worlds heartless jear,
Once had friends thought loving and true;
Once, amid pleasure and honor, grew;
once. Oh! tue word has a sorrowful tone,
For pleasure has left me and honor is gone.
Children at one time fondled with glee:
Where are they now, with lisht hearts and free?
Where are the dear ones once loved so well?
Why have they left me, can any one tell?
Ali remember my poor wife had died;
Myself and my two cons stood close by her side;
She took both their hands and whispering said
Take care of thy father when mother is dead.
The homestead gave them; twas all I could give
Beneath its old roof they said could live.
But soon change came, aud !, poor and old,
Was turned from its threshold out in the cold.
Father, forgive them the deed they have done,
Though they have plenty and have none;
Though their old father is left all alone,
Far from the ones he loves. far from his home.
Soon the cold waters of death ripping by
Will watt my frail spirit to regions on high;
There will meet my dear children of old,
That once turned their father out in the cold.

i Story or Clay.

When Henry Clay ran for the first
time for Congress, he was billed to adj
dress an assembly in the open air. a
vast crowd had convened to hear the
young orator, and conspicuous above
oil arose the tall form Of Jim Burnim,
rough with an unenviable reputation,
and great personal enemy Of Clay's,
owing to repeated defeats sustained by
him from Clay in bis political aspira-
tons.
When Clay had commenced his ad-
dress Burnim placed himself directly
opposite him in the crowd, and an
noyed the speaker continually by in
terruptiops and personal remarks, but
chiefly by kissing every good point
Clay produced. No matter how smooth
and lucid his stream of oratory might
be, or how forcible his argument, Burn
i'm was ready at the fms with his in
sulting hiss. This continued until
Clay could stand it no longer, and
when, after particularly pungent
thrust at the morality of the anti-Fed-
eralists, he was greeted with the indom-
table silent howl Of Burnim's, he
turned savagely to him and, with fash
ing eyes, delivered this cutting speech {:

A Young Doctor Sacrificing His Life
for Others.

George Herbelin, % years old, was
house surgeon at the Hospital of Sainte
Eugene in Paris, where Group and
dipbtheria we're raging. NJ. Herbelin's
devotion to his young charges was the
subject Of much remark among the Wis
iting physicians, and the sisters con-
nected with the hospital. While at the
bedside of two children suffering from
diphtheria, symptoms OF the disease
were noticed in himself by another
medical man, who insisted upon young
M. Herbelin going home. He did SO,
and died in few days. While NJ.
Herbelin was on his deathbed, the Cir
cumstances were related to M. Grevy,
who had an interview with Gen. Vinoy,
Grand Chancellor of the Legion of
Honor, at whose instance the cross of
the order was awarded to tho young
surgeon. Tt was taken to the dying
man. who, overioyed at the news, ex-
claimed:
Il am decorated I wish to live-I
will live. Cure me, my friends!"
He sank upon his bed exhausted, and
died clasping the ribbon attached to
the cross. The Hospital of Sainte Flu
genie was founded by the Empress Eu-
genie under circumstances of peculiar
character. The Municipality of Paris
had voted the sum of 100000 francs to
be spent in the purchase of diamond
necklace as wedding present to the
Empress in 1858. The money was pre-
ferred to the diamonds, and was devot-
ed to the foundation of this hospital for
children, since become 80 famous. M.
Lepere, Minister of the Interior, M.
Herold, the Project of the Seine, sew
eral Municipal Councillors, and num-
Der of leading physicians and medical
students attended NJ. Herbelin's funer-
al. A detachment of infantry rendered
him military honors. Several speeches
by professors of the faculty were made
over his grave. Deceased's father, who
was q doctor. lost his life in the same
way.

Culprit and Judge.

Lord Chief Justice Holt in early life
was very dissipated, and belonged to a
club of wild fellows, most of whom took
an Infamous course in life, One day,
when his Lordship was engaged at the
Old Bailey, o man was convicted of
highway robbery whom the Judge re-
membered to have been one of his old
companions. Moved by curiosity, Holt,
thinking the prisoner did not know
him, asked what had become of his old
associates. The culprit, making a low
bow and fetching a deep sigh, replied:

How Far Bells May be Heard.

In billy locality bell will not be
heard half as far as if the land were
level, or nearly so. A bell will be heard
agreat deal further lengthways of avail
ley than over the hills at the sides. II
is frequently the case that bedrooms
are lower than the surrounding build
ings and trees, and these distractions
break the sound and prevent its free
passage to distance. It is frequently
the case, too, that towers have small
windows or openings, with the louvre
boards SO close together as to almost
box up the sound. In cities the noise
of steam and Gorse-cars, manufacturing
establishments, carriages and carts rat
ting over the pavement, ETC., is SO
great that bells are not expected to be
heard at any considerable distance, and
this is the reason why, in all cities, sew
eral bells are used for fre-alarm pur-
poses, it being impossible for one bell,
no matter how large it may be, to be
heard above the thousand-and-one
noises incident to every large place.
The largest bell ever made in this coun-
try weighed $4,000 pounds, and, before
it was fractured, hung in the City Hall
in New York. On one or two occasions
this bell was heard up the Hudson rive
thirteen miles, in the night, when the
city was comparatively quiet. Water
is good conductor of sound, and add
ed materially in making the bell heard
as above mentioned. It is great mis-
take to suppose that bells can be heard
in proportion to their weight-that is,
that bell of 1000 pounds will be heard
twice as far as one Of 1000 pounds.
This is not SO, for the reason that the
larger bell does not possess anything
like twice the resonant surface of the
smaller ore. What is gained and ad-
mired IL the larger bell is its deep, ma
jestic, dignifed tone, which it is impos-
sible to secure in the smaller one, the
weight OF q bell invariably governing
it's tone. When hung stationary
and struck, or tolled, bells will not be
heard, as rule, half as far as when
swung. The swinging motion throws
the mouth of the bell up, and not only
carries the sound Of, but imparts to it
a richness that is always absent when
the bell is at rest and struck. A great
deal is to be gained by ringing bell
properly, throwing the mouth well up,
and not lazily jingling it. 1t is not
physical strength that is required in
ringing bell SO much as getting the
knack" of catching the rope just right,
particularly on the second "down pull"
The windows in the tower should be as
open as possible, and the tower should
be ceiled just above the windows

"The Greater the Truth the Greater the
Libel.'

Among lawyers and editors one of the
sayings most frequently quoted is:
"The greater the truth the greater the
libel" 1t is a misquotation from an
epigram of Burns. When On visit to
Sterling, during the time of his connec-
ton with the excise, the poet wrote
some verses rejecting rather unfavora-
bly, upon the reigning dynasty, as COM
pared with the exiled Stuarts. Upon
being admonished for his imprudence,
he said: ooh, but I mean 10 reprove
myself for ill., and thereupon wrote:
" Bash mortal and slanderous poet, thy
name shall no longer appear in the
records of fame! Dost not know that
old Mansfield, who writes like the Bible,
says the more tits truth, sir, the more
tits a ibel?"

Chicken Cholera.

The great French chemist, Pasteur,
has given TO the public the result OF
his study of this disease In fowls. He
finds the cause to be microscopic
parasite which finds its food in the
body of the fowl. He proved the
truth of his theory by the following
experiment.: OF eight healthy fowls
which had never had the disease,
twenty died Immediately after being
moculated with the cholera poison in
Il virulent form. The poison was then
very much reduced in strength, and II
second score of the fowls were inocu-
lated with it. They all suffered from
the disease in Il slight degree, bat they
all recovered, and, when aftcrward
in0culated with poison Of full strength,
only eight of the twenty died. y
third lot of twenty was then inocu-
lated twice with the weaker poison
and only five died, when they were
afterward tested with the stronger
mixture. The final score of fowls
were inoculated four times at regular
intervals, and thereafter it was impos-
sible to give any one of them such
of microbes as to cause its death.
The conditions of the experiment are
'ottit w navy pNSil 5NtCll as W ltuNt nv
room for doubt as to the results obtained
Consequently, it appears that chicken
cholera must be added to the number
of diseases preventable by incubation.
The only benefit the ordinary farmer
and poultry raiser can get from this
discovery is an additional incentive to
keep his poultry quarters clean and
free from lice, and thus, by avoiding
the disease, obviate the necessity of
incubation. We have never doubted |
that the sO-called "chicken cholerao
was caused by lice, but we have yet to
find the parasite that will not yield to |
thorough bath Of sulphur and lard.
Some time ago one Of our hens secret |
ed her nest and came off with fourteen |
young chicks. Being very wild, we
were unable to catch her and follow |
our usual plan of amounting with sui
phur and grease and the chicks with
sweet oil Oh the head and breast. A few
days after eight of the little ones were
missing, and after Il thorough search
were found in an cd dog coop, where
they had apparently been in the habit
of passing the night. Seven were
dead and literally swarming with
small red lice; the eighth was just
alive. For the sake of the experiment,
but without any hopes of its recovery,
lard and sulphur was used on its entire
body. ALI through the day it lay APP
parently asleep, but toward night
hunted up the old lady and its infant
brothers and sisters and to-day is a
we!l-grown pullet. Its mother with
her brood was caught and treated in
the same manner, and there have been
no more losses.

July Is the proper month for sowing
the Swedish or Rutabaga turnip in
this latitude. LISA valuable but neg
lected crop on the Southern farm
valuable as a table esculent, and valu-
able for stock feed. For the latter
purpose it is the best Of all the root
crops, not so nutritious as the potato
or the carrot, but the most certain and
most abundant. While the turnip's
rank in nutrition is low, its yield is 50
abundant and its cultivation 50 simple
and inexpensive, as to make it one of
the best crops the farmer can raise for
feeding purposes. Among tulnips, the
best decidedly is the rutabaga. II not
only bears more abundantly, but it is
more nutritious and more easily kept
1t contains less water than the white
turnip, and its solid matter is richer
in flesh and fat formers.
In England the turnip crop is con-
sidered the basis of its agriculture.
The English version of the old Scotch
maxim is, "no turnips, no sheep; no
sheep, no manure !; no manure, no
wheat,' Ia this country the turnip
crop is less important, but even here
it possesses Il value much greater than
is ordinarily accorded to it. Crops of
1000 bushels per acre have been re-
ported, and it has been estimated that
the average crop in England is % tons
or $50 bushels per acre.
n decided advantage possessed by
the rutabaga over the white turnip is
its keeping qualities. They may be
gathered and kept through winter,
either in cellers, or put up in heaps as
we do sweet potatoes, covered with
straw and earth. In this climate they
may be allowed to stand in the patch
all the winter. We have gathered
them sound and sweet in February.
The proper plan for cultivating ru-
tabagas is in drills about % feet apart.
The soil can not be made too rich,
using for this purpose, either well rot
ted stable manure, or commercial fer
tilizers. A light soil is best adapted
to them, and no previous manuring is
better than having it well trod as a
cow-pen. The turnipis heavy feeder
and requires a rich soil. 1t sends out |
very few fibrOus roots in search of |
food, and the manure must therefore |
be placed within its reach therefore
the fertilizers should be applied in the
drill. Superphosphate of lime is well
adapted to the turnip, and may be ad-
vantageously used in large quantities.
Ashes and lime are also valuable fer
lilizers for the crop, and applied as
top dressing as soon as the turnips |
have come up, are useful in prevent
ng the fly which often destroys the
young turnips.-Alabama Farm Jour.

The industrious Bee.

There are 100000 bee hives i'm the
United States. Every hive yields, on
AN average, a little over % pounds of
honey and is sold at twenty-five cents
a pound. So that, after paying for
their own board, our bees present us
with a revenue of SS,S00,OOO. To
reckon another way, they made a clear
gift of one pound Of pure honey to
every man, woman and child i'm the
vast domain of the United States. In
1860, over ., 333, 3i2 pounds of wax
were made and given to us by these
industrious workers. An agricultural
exchange says the keeping of bees
is one Of the most profitable invest
ments that people can make of their
money. The profits arising from the
sales of surplus honey average from
80 to 300 per cent. Of the capital in
vested.
