When will the end draw nigh? Dark is my soul till thou, Light of my life, art by. Why dost thou linger yet In that far sunny clime That lures thee to forget The heart that clings to thine? Ilnve the soft Southern ai~s Lulled thee to listless dreams, In which thine earthly cares Come but in fitful gleams? Is there no thought of me Steals o'er thee in these hours Of glowing phantasy Amid the jasmine bowers ?

Do cooling breezes blow From some palm-shadowed stream, And crimson sunsets glow, By thee unfelt, unseen ?

Black leg. black quarter, carbon ant! murrain, are common names for a disease known to veterinarians and others as enrbuncular erysipelas. Some recent investigations by Prof. Tyndall go to show that this disease is caused by the growth of a minute I plant in the blood, by which-the ! vital fluid is disorganized and made ! unfit for the vital functions. It is I evident that the seat of disease is the blood, but hitherto its cause has I escaped the closest investigation. I It affects young cattle, chiefly yearlings ; and those who are in the j most thriving condition generally. The first symptom is lameness j in the hind legs, which are swollen J , and discolored. When tfic hand is , passed over the quarter attacked, the swellings "crackle" or rustle from the movement of air contained underneath the skin. The animal becomes feverish, the coat stares, the mouth is hot and dry, the excrement is hard and black, or offensive, and death is very rapid. When the skin is removed, the flesh is black | and decomposed, and the blood is ! V.1-Thn no.dOOQ K<U<nniM mifriri iUld'yR i.ut Vttl VHOO wvvuivw f/w in a short time. Wc know of no | core, but the disease may be prevented by enre in feeding whole| some food and by avoiding those I rank pastures which abound in low, i rich, undrained places in river bottoms and marshes. Pure water is j also a preventive. It is highly i probable that the poisonous spores which produce the disease in the blood, enter the system in impure water that is swallowed bv the animals, or with the rank, infested herbage of swamp places, as with cholera, typhoid fever and other epidemic diseases of the human race, which were formerly so destructive; those disorders of cattle exist only where and when | snnitary laws arc violated, and are i unknown where caution is exercised i to avoid danger. A Cheap Hot Bed T onnh f-Mt IMMl'ilU Ul U^lia^ OCMii wi v#?v?ing frames, the following, called the i Gorman plan, may bo adopted with advantage; we have tried it : Take ' white cotton cloth of a close texture, stretch and nail it on frames of any size you wish, take two ounces of lime water, four ounces of linseed oil, one of white of eggs, two ounces of yolk of eggs; mix the lime and oil with a very gentle heat, beat the ' e?Ss separately and mix them with I the former; spread the mixture with a paint brush over the cotton, ( allowing one coat to dry before applying another, until they become wnter-proof. The following are the advantage the^e shades possess over j glass : First, The cost is hardly one! fourth. Second, Repnirs are easily i i and cheaply made. Third, the light II is better. 'They do not require watering, no matter how intense the > heat of the sun ; the plants are nevei , struck down, burned, or checked in growth, neither do they grow weak and sickly as they do under gloss; . and still there is abundance of light. Tho heat arising from below is more equable and temper[ ate, which is a great object. The vapor arising from the manure and earth is condensed by the cool air nassini? over the surface of the I 1*1 shade, and stands in drops on the inside ; therefore the plants do not require lrequent watering. If the frames or stretchers are made large, I they should be intersected by crossbars about a foot square to i support tlic cloth. These articles ! are just the thing for bringing , forward melons, tomatoes, flower seeds, etc.. In season for trans; planting.?Fruit Recorder. A Plucky Business Woman Governor Randall, of Wisconsin, who died several rears ago. lelt bis wife with from ?15,000 to ?-0,000, and this, mainly, in an unproductive homestead in Western New York. By the advice of a supposed 1 friend she sold her property and j put the proceeds in a herd of cattle : in Southwest Nebraska, and. | subsequently, learning that things worn fToitip wron<?. she went out to j Nebraska, assumed $13,000 of j liabilities, bought out and took tlie ' management of tlie whole concern i into he- own bunds, and succeeded j so well that her herd is now clear* ing her ?(3,00<>, a vear, and con" | stantly increasing in size. She is her own superintendent, and 1 personally looks after everything, | both on tho farm and at the cattle ranche. In the three years she had managed her herd she had never been molested, insulted, or interfered with in any manner by anybody. Hero is u notable case, | not only of female capacity, but of persistent pluck, in one who had nithorto held tho highest social position. Our Reaonrees. Speaking of the fact that tea culture is rapidly extending over Georgia, and thousands of plants arc annually put out from feed of nativo production. the Macon j Teleqraph and Mesne nr/er has this i felicitous paragraph concerning the i limitless resources of its own State, which applies with cfjual forco to South Carolina: "Who can say what Georgia, with her diversified soil and climate, is 1 not cupablc of producing?

And now we are informed that 1 [some of our most fragrant flowers j are really disinfectants. Those wh'ch develop the larg' st quantity of ozone are said to be clover, laven- ' der, cnerry, laurel, fennel and bergamot. Flowers having no per* fume are said not to develop it, arid those having hut little perfume develop it only in small quantities. These facts have been discovered by an Italian professor, and a writer commenting on them says that the cultivation of flowers in marshy districts and in all places infested with animal emanations would be. highly favoinble to health. ITc' especially recommends that the, inhabitants of such regions should surround their houses with beds of most odorous flowers. It would seem from the foregoing that plenty 1 nf flmrerhods in the immediate vicinity of such places would do; much to relieve them of their injurir ous influences. mmm O THE UHEQUALLED JAS, 1EFFEI DBiflgl PORTABLE AND STATIONARY j ?AW, FLOUR AND GRIST MILI* SHAmHG.PtfLLIYt AMD HAHOIBI N.
