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.

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.

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.

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

Queen's neutrality, during the moment

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

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

The aggregate award in the Alabam

The amount awarded to individua
lairnants is ?11,500,000, and the amoun

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

aggravate the symptoms. Whoever recommends dra

purgatives, or mineral salivants, or poisonous alkalo

an enemy of the patient. Whoever, on the contr

>n, Vinegar Bitters are not a vile Fancy Drink,
all made of Poor Rum, Whisky, Proof Spirits and isk
Refuse Liquors, doctored, spiced, and sweetened
a.] to pleasethe taste, called "Tonics," "Appetizers,"
" Restorers," Ac., that lead the tippler on to drunk>th
enness and rnin. but are a true Medicine, made
'ty from the native roots and herbs of California, free
e,r from all Alcoholic Stimulants. 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.

0 mat ism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bii5

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.

__ 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

the t)o we Is are loaded, at the same time stimulating

fipd of Billuus Fever, Fever and Ague, etc.

epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed.

Eat good nourishing food, such as beefthat
