??? The Lotus Flower. The lotus flower shrinks coyly Before the day's broad light; % She hangs her head, and, dreaming, Awaits the kindly night. The moon, who is her lover, He wakes her tenderly; And she unveils her loving And fai>' face to the sky. She blooms and glowB and glimmers, And dumbly stares above ; She pants and weeps and trembles With the joy and pain of love. John Hay. Farmhouse Notes. Gathering Fruit.?Fruit should never be gathered during damp weather, nor when a heavy dew is upon it in the eari^ morning. It is pcor policy to shake fruit ~ - 1 ?-11 mi?A1 XT /Innovr irom uie iree , n mnaiuiwvouiuj from the effect of bruising. Even the slightest abrasion of the skin is the sure forerunner of a dark spot, which will eventually change into some kind of rot. If possible, each specimen should be taken singly from the tree and handled with the utmost care. Grapes should always be severed from the vine with strong scissors, and never twisted or broken off. If peaches are gathered before attaining full size, they will not have a nne flavor, but it is not necssary ' to delay picking them until they are very mellow. Scarcely any variety of the laxger fruits color or ripen as well if left to perfect themselves on the tree, and this is especially true of pears. Food fob Dairy Cows.?Prof. Cook stated before a Pennsylvania Farmer's Club, that in Scotland he saw in their native locality the celebrated Ayrshire cows. He described these as of small size, varying from 600 to 800 lbs., live weight, and milking, on an average, twenty quarts per day. They are fed largely on cabbi\ge, which is considered there the best food for producing milk. Our dairy farmers here would no doubt find equal benefit from feeding cows on cabbages. As with turnips, there will be no taste in the bufter from the cabbage, if the cows are milked before feeding. Another fact stated by Professor , Cook was, that in the best dairies in England and Scotland it was considered most profitable to give the cows all tbey could. The so;ling system is of course practiced?and he had seen hundreds of cows tied up in stalls, where they are kept from year to year, ho disease or other drawback resulting from confinement. They were not only healthy, "but thrifty?and never leave the stalls till they go to the butcher. Cocoanut Cake.? Break eight eggs, of which set aside four whites. Beat separately the remaining four whites and eight yolks till very light. One pound and a quarterof flour, sifted ; one pound of sugar, pulverised ; half a pound of butter, creamed ; one cup of sour cream or buttermilk, and a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda?the two latter ingredients to be added the last thing, just before you are ready to bake. Bake in large flat tin plates, so as to form many thin cakes. Grate two fresh sweet cocoanuts, and add to them one pound of sifted white sugar, with the lightly beaten whites of the four eggs laid asi le for the purpose; two teaspoonfuls of corn starch. Stir all well together, including the cocoanut milk drained from both nuts. When the cakes are quite cold, place one in the bottom of a large chir.a plate, cover it well witu the prepared cocoanut, and continue thus to heap up cake and cocoanut in alternate layers, until all of each material is consumed. If for other than everyday use, cover the whole with icing. This quantity makes a very large cake, if only a small one is needed, one cocoanut will answer, with half of every thing else. Tais recipe supplies a cake of delicate yet luscious flavor, and not otherwise than economical in its proporions. Drive Wells.?A few years ago an Eastern man invented a plan by which a well could be obtained by simply driving a tube down into the soil. The Drocess is thus described : Upon one end of an iron tube about two inches in diameter there is attached an iron point, of which the portion next to the tube is somewhat larger than the tube, so that when driven into the ground it makes a hole through which the tube easily f9llows. In the sides of the tube numerous holes are punched for about two feet above the point, and around the tube, and covering tne holes, is wrapped and soldered in place a piece of wire gauze or strainer. To the other end of this wire is attached a double nut, so that another piece of pipe may be screwed into it. The tubes without the joint and strainer are various lengths, so that as many feet may be attached to the joint as desired. A common pump, either iron or wooden, is then provided, and you are ready to 4 drive a tube well." If you want the pump in the house you bore a hole of suitable size and thrust 44the point" through into the ground. Placing a board over the upper end of the pipe, you then drive iuto the earth with a sledge or axe, and when down nearly to the floor you attach other ph-ces until you have driven deep enough. In sinking a well out of doors it is customary to dig a small pit for greater convenience in driving. Mackerel in Capttvitt.?Among the latest addition to the Brighton Aquarium is a family of eight young mackerel. This beautiful fish has hitherto rarely or ever been seen in captivity. The little strangers, though put into a tank with other fish, do not mix with them, but at present keep to themselves. They dart about in all directions. Sometimes they are chased by ether species, and get partly di:q>ersed ; but they soon rejoin each other, and resume their compact form. They are prepetually in motion, so that, although the tank where they are is u large one, they are never out of sight for more than a few seconds at a time. The difficulty of keeping the mvkerel alive is great. As soon as they find themselves in c.mtivitv thev become. as it were, frantic; and the rapidity of their movements in the comparatively sm ill vessel used for their transport destroy them, by bringing them in contact with the ends or sides. Nf.w York.?44 Could the spirit of one who ouee bought the Inland of Manhattan for S21 revisit it, what would be his I sensations in witnessing especially the improvements in the 19th century? Well, he might think that he would have become rich beyond example, if he had put his investment out at compound interest. Had the whole sum been invested in low-priced securities he would have had an infinitely better speculation. Calculating the rate of interest duriDg the 17th century at 10 per cent, per annum, and during the 18th at 8 per cent., and during the present century at 7 per cent., the sum of S24. compounded from 1610 would amount to $?-?. Such of our readers as like the amusement may calculate the amount.?N. 7. Paper. Early Autumn Costumes. Ah imported dinner costume of Tyrian purple faille is trimmed with the demitrained skirt with alternate folds of velvet, and the faille, edged with narrow Chintilly lace. The overdress is of chamois buff crepelinc, bordered with folds of the same, aud in shape consists of a mere apron front, with long fichu ends at the back, forming both panier and sash, above the trimming of folds which reaches, at the back, nearly to the waist. This style of dividing the skirt trimming, having it covered entirely with the back breadths, and only reaching half way up the front, is a marked feature of recently imported costumes. Different trimmiDg, also, are placed upon the back and front, though many dresses made to older here, from Parisian models, have the same trimming, differently disposed. A handsome costume of mouse-colored faille is trimmed entirely to the waist with n?rrnw ruffles of mouse-colored mousseline a'e sole. The waist is made of plaited basques at the back, while the"front is a shallow corslet shape, finished with frills of the momselijie. A cashmere wrap for the street and carriage is of the same shade, beautifully embroidered with silk to correspond. Its fornr is circular or talma shape. A dinner costume of bear's ear brown is made with a demi-trained skirt, coverat the back with kilt plaiting, reaching to the waist. These plaits are merely folded in the material, and faced on the under side, at intervals, with broad tapes, which hold them in place. The front breadths are trimmed quite to the waist with narrow bias ruffles, set on in long, shallow waves. The basque is short and closely gored, so as to flare over the hips, and is made over a vest of maize-colored faillt, which shade also faces the sleeves and basques of the postillion. A visiting costume of vertd-e-gris faille is embroidered, by hand, with silk of a darker shade, its flower-petals having bright, orange-colored hearts, and one of Carmelite plum-color has trimmings of palest India blue, scarcely to be distinguished except as brought out by gaslight, while a third, of Reseda green, is made beautiful with garnatures of lace, and the sottest rose tinted/auu. Among Autumn costumes are polonasies of various ligfct wool fabrics, for this long-favored garment is not to be abolished this season, whatever may have been predicted for it while, as yet, all was without form, and void. Perhaps for house service, the pretty basque, postillions, and combination vest-basques will be most popular; but for street wear, before the weather demands heavy wraps, the polonaise will not be frowned upon. The shops now afford cashmeres of single width, which equal in textures and colorings the double-fold expensive cashmeres of last season. Folds of the same, and yak and gimpure laces trim these fabrics gracefully and durably, while to those preferring fringes and passementeries, there are many varieties from which to choose, aDy and all being suitable, unless they outweigh the material. Roads to Ruix.? It is the easiest thing in the world to find one ot these roads, for they run in all directions over the social planet. -They present, as the advertisements have it a " wide field of choice." They comprise highways and byways, round about roads, and cuts across, smooth paths and rough paths, as cents and decents; and as they intersect each other at points innumerable, travellers to the common terminus can turn out of tlie road they have started on into a new one at their pleasure. The outfit for the journey, be it long or short, is not of much consequence, since destitution and despair await ail who persist in pursuing it. Some set out with pockets full of gold; others with their pockets empty, hoping to fill them by the way. To some, the fiend, speculation, plays the cicerone, marshalling them to seeming Doradoes in the distance, that melt in the moonshine as they travel on. The will-o'-the-wisp, with his paste-board signals, beguiles others to brinks of the precipice, whence thev tumble headlong: into irremediable shame. The goblin, gin, heads a caravan of self-destructioni?ts, whose name is legion. All "easily besetting sins" pull one way, and betray their victims into one or the other of the many roads to ruin. The only trustworthy safeguard against their enticements is resistance at the out. set. When morbid appetite or inclination pulls ruinward, brace the moral system against it ; manhood against temptation ask help from Heaven. Christian firm ness is more than a match for Satin and all his agents. Misfortune may overtake any man; but misfortune is not ruin. In that terrible word, in its true interpretation, is involved a loss of character, of selfrespect, or raoial courage, of all that renders life value. Beware of the first step leading to such a consummation! James Gordon Bennett's Will.?The will of the late James Gordon Bennett, the well known founder of The Neic York Htrald, has been admitted to probate. The testator appoint* his son James Gordon Bennett, Jr., sole executor, and bequeaths to aim The Hew York Herald building and effects; also, the good will of the paper. He also leaves him tbe Metropolitan Job Printing Office. To his widow he leaves the use of his house, Thirtv-eightb street and Fifth avenue, plate, horses, carriages, ete., until her death ; also, onehalt of the net rental of bis real estate excepting The Herald. To his daughtei Jeanettc Bennett he leaves the other half of net rental of his real es-tate, to bo paio to her and not subject to control of hei husband if she should marry. On the demise or second nwriage of Mrs. Bennett all her share in tbe property shall be equally divided between his son and daughter The property left is veined at $5,000,000 Serious Distress is England. A letter from the London correspondent of the Ihraid regards the prospects I ahead during the coming winter for the I English poor as very gloomy indeed. < The telegrams and mail accounts recently 1 have spoken of the advance in the price ] ! of fuel. " Goal has gone up," as the j i saving is, and whether the advance in . price arises from a falling off in the yield, | increased consumption by the manufac- ( tories, or by reason of the conflicts be- j tween the miners and their masters, the t fact remains the same, that coal has ( enormously risen in price from the rates < charged last year. This of itself would prove a hardship, especially to the < poorer classes ; but then fhere ale other , misfortunes still more distressing. The ( potato crop has failed generally through- t out the British Isles. The accounts from the agricultural districts in the English t shires is of the most distressing char- < acter. A writer in one of the agricul- s tural papers of England estimates that t 1,630,000 acres of the potato crop are all r but destroyed, while another equally good authority declares that he " hardly i ever remembers the malady so general a and the destruction so complete." In t Ireland and Scotland the crop is also blighted,possibly not to the sapae extent c as in England, but sufficiently^xtensive t to be severely felt by tlie poorer classes g in both countries. The foot and mouth c disease among the cattle is another g cause for alarm. The disease, which made itself manifest to a considerable extent last year, has now re-appeared in still greater proportions. In Norfolk, in two weeks, the loss in sheep alone ^ amounted in value to over one buudred . and twelve thousand dollars. Taking ' everything into consideration, and with these facts before us, it is evident that v the approach of winter is regarded with . feelings of dread by the poor, hardworked and ill paid mechanics, laborers and working people of England, Ireland and Scotland. o IIow the Sun Caught a Thief.? Five or six days ago, says a Paris paper, c M. X , a photographer, allured by the brightness of the sun and the soft- c ness of the air, provided himself with a necessary baggage and hastened to Foun- s tainbleau to take views of the forest. He I installed himself in a very picturesque quarter, erected his apparatus, prepared a his plates, opened his object glass, and q inveloping at once his case and his head ( in a large, dark and fluctuant veil, set ? himself to tbe task of seizing the objects t in view. He had just taken out his proof s from the dark chamber, and was subject- I ingit to chemical reaction, when a strong hand was laid upon his shoulder. He a turned rouurl hastily and f ;uud himself t in the presence of a species of giaut, meanly attired, who, by gesture and s voice, demanded his purse. M. X is c not a Hercules, and from his first glance 1 . towards his adversary, he concluded that I all resistance was useless. He therefore politely offered his purse, which was accepted with thankfulness. The robber bowed, and leaving him to his resignation went into the depths of the forest. Poor X , meditating on his sad loss, remained for some time motionless; his looks were mechanically set on hi* photographic proof; he mused upon it with a diverted and unconcerned eye. Suddenly, ' What is this?" exclaimed lie; "what is the human form in this coppice under the shade of this oak ? Heavens ! Should I believe my eyes ? It is he, it is my robber, perfectly delineated and very easy to be recognized. O divine sun, my co-laborer, how well you do things !" On his return he repaired to the police commissioners at Fountainbleau, related his adveuture, exhibited his proot-plate, and the malefactors likeness. Next day, with the aid of this singular description the robber was arrested. _ ( Summer Complaint.?Some pix years ' ago I saw in a paper, a remedy for snm- < raer complaint and kindred diseases, winch * with slight modifications, I have since ! tried and recommended in a great man, * cases without once having or hearing of a 1 failure. The ingredients are almost always at hand, and are so simple ' that it does not seem that there can be the least danger in its use in any case. 1 Take equal quantities good vinegar and boiling water, and a little more common 1 salt than they will dissolve. Pour the vinegar on the salt in a teacup, and the 1 boiling water on both. Stir thoroughly, so that as much salt as may will dissolve. ' Let it settle, and then take, according to 1 the violence ot the attack, two or four i teaspoonfuls; in twenty or thirty minutes one or two more; then again in one, two or three hours, regulating the frequency and size o?the dose according to the dis ease. 1 find that I can thus shut down the gates about as suddenly or gradually as I desire; but I consider it best if severe to check it gradually in say about three , hours. The first trial I gave it was in the worst attack ot diarrhoea 1 ever had accompanied with great pain. I took four spoonfuls, and in about fifteen minutes two more, when the pain began to decrease. laid down on a lounge, and in about fifteen minutes took another dose went to sleep, slept until noon, about two , n.i.on T frml- niiA lrinrc unnonfnl and a cup of strong tea and went to in) work; at six o'clock took another dose and light supper, and in the morning was as well as ever.?Or. Country Gentleman. Egg Eating Hens ?A writer in the ' Journal of Horticulture advises any one who is troubled with hens eating their eggs to break an egg and dust the contents with Cayenne pepper, tut ning the egg round, so as to get the pepper before the yolk, if possible, and leave the egg in the offender's nest. Or, if lie catches her in the act of eating an , egg, let him drive her away quietly, 1 and place pepper in 'he remaiuder of the egg, endeavoring, as stated above, to . get the pepper underneath. He w 1! very soon see her ruuniug furiously ' about with distended beak. If one dose is not sufficient administer another, a little stronger; but one doge has prowed , to be a perfaofc cure. The Alabama Claims. Tb? court of Arbitration appointed fc the settlement of the Alabama claims b( tween Great Britain and the United State ieclined to admit the principle contende for by the American counsel in the pre position that England is responsible i general for the escape of the Angle American confederate cruisers from he jorts, on the ground of a non-exercise e lue diligence, or that there was any die position evinced by the English authoritie x> connive at a general infraction of th Queen's neutrality, during the moment A the escape of the vessels. The Court decided that in the specif ;ases of certain cruisers submitted by th Americans there was such want of du liligence as makes England liable fo heir particular acts. The court of Arbitration rules out fror he record, both of statement and of pre :eeding, the case of the privateer Georgif md also all matter which has reference t he cruise of the Shenandoah befor eaching Melbourne, holding the last nam id vessel liable only for the capture of th American whaling ships which have bee ilready named in the course of the argu nent. The damages awarded is three and [uarter millions ofpounds sterling, or six een millions, two hundred and fifty thou and American dollars in gold, one hal ?f the account footed up for the lossei ustained by the Alabama. The judgement is signed by all the arbi rators, with the exception of Sir Alexan ier Cockburn, Lord Chief Justice of En ;land, who gives a lengthy dissentinj pinion, accepting the ruling of the Cour n the case of the Alabama, but arguinj hat in the case of the other ships there i 10 ground for any award against Englan< vhose governmental course throughou rom the first occasion of the premise ras in accordance with international lav ,nd consistent with her neutral obliga ion, consistent even with the three rule f the Treaty of "Washington. The aggregate award in the Alabam ase is 815,480,000. The amount awarded to individua lairnants is ?11,500,000, and the amoun .warded the United States for the pur uit of the Alabama, Shenandoah ani rlorida is about four millions. On all points of international import mce the arbitrators are a unit, but on th [uestion ot money award Sir Alexande lockburn took opposite views, and Coun iclopis virtually coincided with him, a he same time joining with the others ii ustaining the pecuniary award to th Tnited States. Mr. Davis states that tho text of th ward of the arbitrators at Geneva ha >een publicly announced there. The United States receive the gros lum of fifteen and one half millions c lollars, ($15,500,000) for losses sustaine >y the acts of the Alabama, of the Florid md of the Shenandoah after leavin Melbourne. It will be recollected that by the term )f the treaty the amoant 19 payable i told at Washington within one year fror he date of the award. Studying A Post Bill.?A new rtuet lote is told of Benjamin Franklin whic ;an hardly be true, for he was a brigh loy in the Boston schools, and mui lave learned early to read and spel Bat it will do to fell, and the moral is ? ;ood : But there is one anecdote wbie [ have never seeu in print, it was tol ne by a geutleman of Boston, who r< nenibered the old house in which Franl iu was born. " Often," said he, " ha\ [ looked at the old tmnble-down buildic in Milk Street, and imagined the bar* foot boy sitting on the door step, lean ing to spell from an old post bill." foung miss, daughter of a distinguishe utizen, passed him one day while thi engaged, and the boy overheard In words of ridicule as she spoke to hi companion, laughing at the eagerness < the poor lad, and derided his " beautifi spelling book." But there came anothi lay, when Franklin was our embassad* it the court of France. A wealth 1 - J? vxnAcnr* ^ ftf nr American muj, was uuce picoruv iac v/a. of J,,e festive occasions made in honor < Franklin, greatly desire a an introductio to her distinguished countryman. ] was obtained, and great was her surpris to hear him say, " Ay, ay, we have m< before." She could not remember when and Franklin added, " You do not r< member the barefoot little boy in Mil Street, studying his lesson from tl muddy post bill !'* Although spoke good-humoredly, the fair lady was muc disconcerted at the rememberance < the incident. It is to be hoped si learned a lesson therefrom, in regard t the importance of treating everybod with respect. Daniel Webster's Advice. ? Otln young people may find the advice < Daniel Webster to his grandson of vali for themselves. He wrote it about foi years before his death : Two or thr< things I wish now to impress on yoi mind. First, you cannot learn withoi your own efforts. All the teachers : the world can never make a scholar < you, if you do not apply yourself wil all your might. In the second place, 1 of good character and good oenavioi a boy of strict truth, and honor, ai conscience in all things.

They are the Great ' J" Blood Purifier and a Life-giving Principle, a Perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy coudition, enriching it, refreshing and nd invigorating both mind and body. They are easy .1^ of administration, prompt in their action, certain in their results, safe and reliable in ail forms of disease. IVo Person can take theaa Bitten wording to directions, and remain long unwell, provided 18 their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison eu- or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. ,m Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest. ? Dizziness Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painfhl 5 symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. In these 3\ complaints it has no equal, and one bottle will 3 prove a better guarantee of its merits than a IK lengthy advertisement. 9 For Female Complaints, in young or Old, 0 married or single, at the dawn of. womanhood, or 5 k the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so de6J{ cided an influence that a marked improvement is 6K 60011 perceptible. 1 For Inflammatory and Chronic Rhea* 0 mat ism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bii5 ious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Disease* 7 of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these 7 Bitters have been most successful. Such Diseases 8 are caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally 0 produced by derangement of the Digestive Organs. 4 They are a Gentle Purgative aa well as 3 a Tonic, possessing also the peculiar merit of act0 ing as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or 5 inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs and 0 In Bilious Diseases. 5 For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt9 y Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, V Carbuncles, King-worms, Scald-Head, Sore Eyes, k Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, 5 Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever 8 name or nature, are literally dug up and carried 2 out of the system in a short time by the use of these , Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince the 0 v most incredulous of their curative effects. a * Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you And its impurities bursting through the skin in 7 * Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores: cleanse it when you * find It obstructed and sluggish In the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. , Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system 1' will follow. Gratefnl Thousands proclaim Vinegar Brrj teks the most wonderful invigorant that ever bua? tained the sinking system. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, larking in J. the, system of so many thousands, are effectually |? destroyed and removed. Says a distinguished 1 physiologist: There is scarcely an individual on the 19t face of the earth whose body is exempt from, the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy 15 elements of the body that worms exist, but upon ? the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed * these living monsters of disease. No system of 10 medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics, w?U 7 free the system from worms like these Bitters. Mechanical Diseases.?Persons engaged in 19 Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type0 setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance 0 in life, arc subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To 16 guard against this, take a dose of Waxker'8 vineuar Bitters twice a week. 8 Bilioua, Remittent, and Intermittent 0 Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of 0 our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi,- Ohio, Missouri, 0 Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, >0 Colorado, Brazoa, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, , >0 Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many 10 others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our 2 entire country during the Summer and Autumn, __ and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat ? and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and ? other abdominal viscera. In their treatment a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these t various organs, is essentially necessary. There La no qtehartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walkreus ek'S Vinegar Bitteks, as they will speedily . . remove the dark-colored viscid matter with whicn the t)o we Is are loaded, at the same time stimulating ally the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring . , the healthy functions of the digestive organs.

Walker's Vinegar Bitters are the best A11 ^ale-guard in cases of cniprious and malignant ?ni- fevers. Their balsamic, healing, and soothing properties protect the humors of the fauces.
