THE DAY IS DONE.
or Pnor. i.o.vosr.r.Low.
The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of Night.
At; a feather is wufted downward
From an eagle in its flight.
I see the light of the village
Gleam through the rain and mist,
And 8. feeling of sadness comes o-‘er me,
That my soul cannot resist.
A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As (I. mist resembles the rain.
Come, read to me some poem.
Some simple and heartfelt lay.
That sbull soothe this restless feeling,
And banish the thoughts of day.
Not from the grand old master,
Nor from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of ’I‘ime.
For, like strains of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life’: endless toil and endeavor ;
And to-night I long for rest.
Read some humble poet,
Whose songs gusheo from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start.
Who, through long day? of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
Of wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse? of care,
And come like the ‘benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volumn
The poem oflthy choice,
And lend to tli'é rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music;
And the cares that infest the day
&all fold their tents, like the Arabs.
And as silently steal away.
All Hollows:
I stood beneath a hollow tree-»
The blast it hollow blew——
I thought upon the hollow world,
And all its hollow crew ;
Ambition and all its hollow scheme.-,
The hollow hopes we follow,
Imsgiuution’s hollow dreams,
All hollow, hollow, hollow !
A crown it is a hollow thing,
And hollow heads oft wear it ;
The hollow title of a king,
What hollow hearts oft bear it!
No hollow wiles or honeyed smiles
Of ladies fair I follow ;
For beauty sweet still hides deceit.
"Pia hollow, hollow, hollow !
The hollow leader but betrays
The hollow dupes who heed him ;
The hollow critic vends his praise
To hollow fools who read them ;
The hollow friend who takes your hand
In but it summer swallow ;
What e’er I see is like this tree,
All hollow, hollow, hollow!

Keeping .Apples.——C. S. Hamilton of
Hartford, writes to the New England
Farmer that by packing apples in dry
saw-dust, in alternate layers, he has kept
them as late as July and August.
Peas:-—The editor of the Richmond
Enquirer has raised 6,600 peas perfectly
mutur-d for planting, from a single Ore-
gon pea, and he feels sure that if he had
planted the wonderful seed pea in May
instead of the 28th of June, the product
would have been at least 15,000.
Ornamental Shrubs.—-The editor of
the American Agriculturalist in noticing
an article on plants and shrubs in the
Horticulturist, says:
"One of the most gorgeous sights of
our New England summer, is the High
Laurel in full bloom, in localities where
the shrub is abuiidapt. Take such land-
ncapes as may be found along the liau-'5'-1
of Thames river, Connecticut, and ii I’
tributaries in the month of June, anti
the handiwork of man is shamed in
comparison with the unstiidied grace
and splendor of Nature It is mainly
because the plant bears transplanting
with difficulty, that it is so seldom found
around rural homes. It loves the .-bade,
and is almost sure to die when taken
from the wood: and placed in an open
yard. If transplanted young and set in
a copse, or in the shade of other trees,
there would be less difficulty in making
it live.
The Rhododendron is a larger shrub,
has a larger and more beaiuifnl flower, a
tropical looking leaf. and is altogether
rarer, In all our botanical rambles, we
have never found more than two locali-
ties in the State of Connecticut, and but
one inRhode Island, and these are not
extensive. It sometimes attains the
height of fifteen feet, and when in How-
er makes a very beautiful object. Both
this and the Laurel are successfully
transplanted in the grounds of A521 Fitch,
Esq., of Bozrah, Coun., and are very
prominent among the shriibbery that
adorns that teautful home.”
A Patton Cow—An Enormous Mil-
ker.--'I‘here was exhibited at the Na-
tional Cattle Show, in October last, in
Springfield, 0., by John W. Brock, of
Highland County, in that State, a cow,
mainly of the Patton stock, so called,
with a dash of Short Horn blood in her
veins, seven years old, of which certifi-
cates were shown by her owner, that
she had given for days together, on grass
pasture, 88 pounds of milk per day, and
that 26 pounds of her mill: made a
pound of butter! This yield, calling
the milk 9 pounds to the gallon, which
is about the average weight, would be
equal to 39 1-9 quarts it day, making 23
2-3 pounds of butter a week.
This same cow had also given, on the
same authority, for a few consecutive
days, four pounds of milk every hour, it
being regularly milked four times a day.
This made the yield still greater-—eqllIl
to 96 pounds. or 43 2-3 quarts 3 day.

.4», Old Sailor’: Story.
BY SYLVANUS C0311, JR.
The old ship “ Pioneer” was on a voy-
age to Smyrna, under command of Cap-
tain Ichabod Harris. I held the ofiice
of first mate at the time. We took out
with us an old naval surgeon. named
Ramsdell, who was going to join the
American squadron in the Mediterrane-
on.
Now Captain Harris was one of the
most noble-hearted men I ever knew.-
He was a sailor, every inch of him, and
his men fairly worshipped him. He
would share with them in all their hard-
ships, join with them in their joy, and
do all in his power tomuke their situa-
tion comfortable and pleasing. He knew
every inch of a ship, from truck to kel-
aon, and he knew, too, just the use for
which everything was made, and how
it should be used to the best advantage.
But Captain Harrie had one fault--a
bad, very bad 0ne——-he would get drunk
on every possible occasion. He never
commenced drinking with the expecta-
tion of getting drunk, but as soon as he
had one glass "on board,” he would
drink it as long as he could get it and
stand. He had been talked to by his
best friends, and he had promised that
he never would get drunkugnin, but he
would not promise not to drink. Some-
times, after having mlde one of these
solemn promises, he would drink a few
glasses, and yet keep sober ; but those
saber glasses were dangerous ones for
him, for they were sure to lead him of?
soon. His employers had no idea how
much he drunk at sea. They knew he
was drunk often on shore, but they did
not dream he gave himself up so at sea,
for not one of his crew could have been
hired to expose him; and yet ll. was not
a safe thing. llarris himself acknowl-
edged that min was killing him, but he
said he could not let it alone. VVheu
we talked to him, he listened patiently,
and even l;indly——and he would thank
us, too, for our solicitude.
"But it’s no use,” he would say. “It's
I can’: help it, and when
my time comes I shall die. I wish I
could stop drinking. but I can’t. I
won’: promise, for I should only tell a
lie. God bless you for your kindness ;
I know you mean well : but it's no use.”
And that was all we could get from
him. Our ship had not been at sea a
week before we found that he had a cask
of brandy on board for his own use, and
the consequence was, he was drunk half
the time. I have seen him take his ob-
servation of the sun at merzdian, and
work out the latitude, and then cant up
the dead reckoning, and give the Illlp
her true course, when he could not stand
up Without leaning against sometliiug.
We soon found that the habit was grow-
ing worse and worse. Harris was now
between forty and fifty, and he was al-
most lost. He ate but very little.-
Breakfast he never ate. 'We told him
' his brandy was killing him; but he did
not leave it off. He assured us he could
not leave it oil". He assured us he could
not live without it, “and what was the
use.” I asked Dr. Ramsdell, the old
surgeon, what he thought about it, and
he told me that unless the captain would
leave it off entirely, he could not live.
"There is no half-way ground with
him,” said the doctor. "He must either
drink none, or drink enough to kill him
A remaiknble constitution hue upheid
him thus far, but that constitution is
about gone now. And yet I cannot.
bear to talk hard with the poor fellow-—
he is such a noble-hearted man, and is so
kind and generous. I believe he would
risk his own life in a moment to save
that of any man in his ship."
" I know he would," said I.
“And yet,” resumed Rum:-dell, "he
must lose the opportunity soon. He is
so tender on that point that I like not to
brunch it; and ti.en he ha. sucha play-
ful maniier of always turning it off that
it don't amount to anything,”
But we were resolved that Cuptain
Harris should be saved if there was any
I such a thing, and we soon conjured up
a .plan Which we were determined to
try. One niglit he came on deck so
drunk he could not walk, and I knew
from his every look and movement, that
he was completely oblivious to every-
thing about him. I called some of the
men to my assistance, and having made
up :1 running bowline on the end of the
uiizzvn-topsail halyards,I contrived to
slip the noose over his shoulders, and
draw it tight under his arms. He was
leaning up against the quarter rail, and
as soon as this was done I gave him a
gentle trip, and overboard he went.-—
As soon as he struck the water, he
splashed and kicked wildly, and soon I
heard him yell. I had the ship hove to.
and the boat lowered. The boat was
already cleared for the purpose. We
got the captain on board, and he was
pretty well sobered ; but he did not
dream of the trick we had played upon
him.
On the nextmorning he wanted it drop
of brandy the first thing. I asked him
if he remembered the narrow escape he
had last night; he said yes. Then I
asked him if he had not better let the fa-
tal stuff alone.
"No, no,” said he with a smile. You
see ’iwasn’t meant I should die last
night. And besides, I got u Ieezle more
on than usual. I must be careful."
And there was an end of that plan!
But I meant not to give it up so. I put
my head with the old en rgeon’s, and he
agreed to help me all he could. At.
length we had another plan fixed up,
and our captain was to have u siege be-
fore he got clear of us. We agreed to
commence as soon as we could tlud
Home with :1 mind clear enough to un-
derstand things fully. I knew that the
captain had ii perfect dread of deuth,und
that sometimes, when he felt "down at
the heel," he had drank to drown that
feeling, only he had not the power to
overcome his appetite, because the very
pmverlie needed to enable him to do

At length an opportunity tocommence
presented itself. One morning, the sur-

the cabin, and the captain was sober...
Iliad one of Ramsdell's books in my
hand, from which I pretended to read.
"Doctor,” said I, looking up with as
mucli show of surprise and interest as I
could asume, “this is a very curious
case—this case of the old purser.”
“Ah——yes,” returned the doctor, "if is
curious, indeed, but I have seen u unin-
ber such. Last winter there were '.wo
such cases on board an English ship at
Malta."
"And is there no cure at all '3" I asked
looking at the book again, and than look-
ing up. Z
"Well, that depends upon circumstan-
ces. An immediate abstinence from Ill
kinda of stimulating food and drinks has
been known to lead to a cure. But the
disease is so malignant that a cure is
next. to impossible. O, I pray God I
may never see another man die with this
horrid disease 2"
The old surgeon shuddered so fearful-
ly us he he said this, that I was almost
startled, for he «lid it to perfection.
" VVhut is it '3" asked the captain,
with much interest.
"I have been reading an account of
the doctor's medical reports of one of
the most strange cases I ever heard of,”
I replied. “It is the account of a man
who died of a most terrible disel.-e,_..
But," I continued, turning to the doctor
"do these spots always make their ap-
pearance '3”
, "Yes," he replied; “they are dark,
brownish spots, and commence upon the
face, and when the di-ease proves fatal,
these spots begin to pumfy and spread,
until at length the whole face, the whole
physical structure, inside and out,- be-
comes one horrible, sickening. disgusting
mass of putrescencel O, I would not
see another such a death for worlds!-
And then the victim lives through it all
-—lives till the very last atom of inward
vitality is swallowed up by the horrid
putrefaction !"
“But what is it all '3" uttered the cap-
tain, trembling like an aspen. "VVhat.
makes you both tremble and shudder so?
What is it 2”’
“It is enough to make any one shud-
der and tremble at the bare thought,"
replied the doctor, “for I do not think
that mortal man can conceive‘of another
thing one-half so terrible.”
“But what is it '.”’
“My friend, you may tell him, as you
have just finished reading it," said the
doctor to me,
"But you understand the principle of
the disease, doctor,” I urged, "and you
can explain it.”
Remodel! hesitated a few moinents,
and during that time Captain Harris so:
like one bewildered.
“Captain Harris,” at length spoke the
doctor, “I must own that I feel a little
delicate about this matter, for I have so
often spoken to you upon the subject of
intemperance that I fear you may think
this is only hunted up at lhil time just.
that you might hear of it. But your
mate came across it, sir, while reading
some of my medical works. However,
I will explain, and I shall trust to your
own generosity to relieve me from all
impututions of personal allusion. .-omo
years ago, sir, I came across the case to
which we have alluded. An old purser
in our navy was a very intempotato drin-
her. He drank brandy by the pin: and
quart, and sometimes even a gallon, it
day. This he had followed for some
years. At length one day he complain.
ed of A strange burning sensation about
the face, and a dizziness in his head, and
soon li'tle dark spots begun to gppear
upon his face. At first we thought it
might be a phase of small pox, then the
idea of plague struck us; but it had none
of the other symptoms of those disea-
ses. I did all for him I could, but he
died, as you have heard me tell. Some-
time afterward I was in Malta, and 1
saw more cases of the same disease, and
one old surgeon told me what it Was,-—
He said it was a case where alcohol had
wholly changed the nature and substance
of the human body. You know tlilt.
when a man begins to show the effects
of‘ rum in matches, and so forth, it al-
ways appears firs: upon the face; and so
in this case. It seems to be a phase of
disease confined to shipboard, and I ex-
pect iris the result of the peculiar at-
mosphere of the ocean, combined with
the natural effects of alcohol, upon some
peculiar constitutions. The English
surgeon told me that one case he had
cured even after the spots made their
appearance, but it was only done by the
rigid abstinence on the part of the inva-
lid from even tea, coffee, and anything
that could operate as a. stimulant. He
told me that even a glass of wine would
have proved fatal in :1 few minutes.
“That is a curious circumstance.
said Harris, after he had thought upon
the subject a few moments.
I knew that the captain was naturally
crcdulous, and I knew that he would
never think of calling in question the
truth of the surgeon's statement, nor the
fact of my having read the account as
had been reported. He did not touch
his brandy during that day, nor the next
nor the next. But on the morning of
the fourth day 1 could see that he was
become nervous and uueasv. The truth
was, he had not yet resolved not to drink
he had only been pondering upon it. It
was a chilly morning, and he thought
he would see if a little brandy would not
warm him. lie tried a glass, just one
glass, and before night he was drunk ;—
and he was not sober again for five whole
days. Every time he drank now he
seemed l0 go lower and lower. At length
I told the siirgcun it was time to try me
last remedy, and he agreed to stand by
me.
Dr. Rumsdell had his whole chemical
and medicinal laboratory with him, and
he went to work and prepared I tincture

was up at midnight, and on deck, but he
was too drunk to stand. Yet he drank
a large drum of raw brandy before he
turned in again ; but his brandy. which
was kept for immediate use in I decanter
at the head of his bunk, had been medi-
cated with u paingivuig emetic since eve-
ning, and now he had taken a stiff dole
of it. Towards morning the surgeon
went and rubbed the drunken mun‘: face

“Yes sir,” I answered.
"I feel very badly,” he moaned. “Ve-
ry badly."
"But how? You know you were ve-

“Yes, I know it. And I hove been
very drunk for 1 whole week, haven’:

“You have, certainly."
“O, I feel very bad 3"

over my face ."’
"Good heavens!" I cried, and I know
that I spoke with every accent of terror,
“you do not mean so !"
“Yes—-I do. But you do not think I
shall..—shall—"
The poor man dared not finish the sen-
tence. I knew that the cowitch must
make his face burn, and I knew full well
to what his mind was turning. He dared
not speak it.
"1 think I had better call the doctor,”
said I.
He was unions to have the doctor
come, so I went to call him Ratnsdell
had heard all, and he was ready to ac-
company me, his room being next for-
ward uf the captain's. It was now light
enoiugli to see plainly in the state-rooms,
for the sun was up and the ooldenbeame
came in through the sky-Iighl, as the
ship was healing considerably to the
eastward, under :1 fresh breeze. Captain
Harris was truly a sorry sight to behold.
His long debaucb had given his eyes a
bad look, and had made his cheeks hol-
low, the eowitch gave them a hectic
all over with a kind of livid, brown spots.
"What is it, captain?" asked the old
surgeon, as he entered the room~
"O, doctor, I feel dreadfully. But
what are you looking at’! Good mercy,
tell me! 0, what makes you state at
me so?" _
The poor man started up to a sitting
posture us he spoke, and seized the sur-
geon by the arm. And both the sur-
geoii and myself gazed upon him in well
feigned horr
"Captain Harris,” spoke llainsdell, in
a low, hollow tone, "lie down and keep
quiet."
The sick man was seized with a spell
of vomiting, and as soon as this was
passed, the doctor asked him how he felt.
“It. is a burning all over my face,” re-
mriied Harri:-;. “A dreadful burning!"
he continued, in a C0nV’.ll|ive whisper,
"0, what is it '."’
Ramsdell then whispered with me.
"I think it is best to tell him,” he said
loud enough for the captain to hear, but
yet in a manner which signified that he
meant that such should not have been the
case.
"Of course he must know it," said I.
in the some tone, and being careful that
the captain should understand me. "Of
course," I added, "for he may wish to
leave some word, or make some will.—-
He has a wife and children, he may
wish to send some word to them before
he becomes delirious ."'
Captain Harris did not speak, he dar-
ed not. But Rainsdell wen: and took
down the mirror which hung over th-
wash-siand, it being only secured by _
hook at the top. and two revolving‘ beck-
ets at the bottom, and this he carried to
the bunk. He held it up before the sick
man, as he h:-.!f arose to a sitting posture.
"Look 5" the doctor said C
Harris looked into the mirror,and then
with one low, convulsive cry of agony,
he fell back. 1 almost wished then that
we had not done it, for his agony I feared
would kill him outright, and I whisper-
ed my fears to the surgeon. But he told
me there was no danger. He said the
man had not phys cal strength enough
for fear to operate fatally upon.
“Must I die F” the snfIerer at length
asked.
“What can I do ?” returned Rumsdell.
“But you said the thing had once been
cured."
“Yes, once. But in that case the vic-
tim was willing to help himself."
“I.-low'."' whispered Harris.
“I told you once. He gave up the
cause of his disease,”
"Save me! save me! 0, let me once
more see my wife and children!"
“I Will NJ." was the answer.

“If I will 3" cried the captain, star-

“You have gained half the victory,"
said Ramsdell, with a sparkling eye, "for

man, I will do it. Now mt as quietly
as possible."
And Dr. Ramsdell went at work. He
dosed the sick man first, to weaken him
more, and at the some time cleuuu his
system. Then at the end of a week he
began to sweat him, and gradually the
spots left his face. At the end ofenoth-
er week he began to administer restore-
tives, and on the morning that we pn-
eed Milo, and enters the Grecian Archi-
pelago, Captain Harris cums on deck, a

gone. The very smell of it made him
sick. The cult was taken from his
state-room and thrown overboard.

Captain Harris blessed him for saving
his life. And most truly did the doctor
save his life, though not in the way he
fancied ’twas done.
On our return I went with Harris to
eee his family. His wife could hardly be-
lieve her own eyes.
"Ab, Lizze,” he said, as he kissed hey,
“you wonder to see me sober, eh 1'’
She acknowledged thatshe did.
“VVell, I haven't iouched a drop of

What, crying ?"
How could she help crying? But
Harris saw how happy she was,and he told
me that that one thing paid him a thou-
sand times over for what he had done.
Poor Lizzie Harris had suffered enough
from her husband’s fault, but she suffer-
ed no more. She iviu among the happi-
on of the happy.
Three years after that, I wondered
what effect it would have to tell Harris
of the deception we had practised upon

you have saved my very soul, and saved
my family."
"And you will not go back 9” said I.
I shall never forget the look he gave
me then. He answered me in a whisper
and as follows:

Secomily :—--If you have any very par-
ticular friend, go and embrace him for
the last time. For when you refuse his
advice "how to make your paper more
interesting,” or exercise the editorial «lis-
crction in declining an article that he
said, man N. B. “you might do as you
like without the lei-list} offence,” he is oil"
and after that otfish. (Eucoiirsgement.)
Thirdly :—-Make to yourself friends
of the Postililaster General and all the
Postinasters in particular. (Reasons ob-
vious.‘
Fomzlily :——l)o all the good you can
and as time harm, for these will be your
main chances.
Fiftlily :--Put away the delusive no-
tion that all honest people pay their debts.

Sizthly :-Blessed are they that expect
nothing, for they shall not be disappoin-
ted; as you will be if you expect an easy
life or rich liviusz. ('lnstance.)
Se1:e7:thly:--Acquaint yourself eariy
with those Agents who do nothing, and
strike them off, and those patrons who
consider they do a favor by reading the
paper, and have nothing todo with them
Neither ever yet suppofted a paper. and
the more such friends it had, the worse
for it.
Etghtly :-—-Reject mzuiy of your own
nianusc-ripts as well as other people’s.
Nznt/zly :—-Never think you are done
or through when you arethrough Be-
gin again.
Finally, and to conclude :~—Lool-2 out

33'’ The "Tribune" moralizes in the
following forcible manner on the horrors
of war as seen in the battle of the Alma:
Hewho has once seen I battle acknowl-
edges, as did the Duke of Wellington,
that there is but one thing next in horror
to a defeat, and that is a victory. Let
the tender souled and gentle hearted rec-
ollect llle ever-active, varied and skillful
attentions which one sick-bed requires
how, often,w hich all the sleepless duty
and exuberant love that devotion can
bestow on the sufferer, death comes from
the slightest inattention! ‘What a hiigo
hall of despair must have been the hos-
pital of the wounded of the allies, when-.
eff.-.te seuility and Oriental stupidity were
called upon to the soldiers, with their
icrushed bones and their mangled flesh!
One of the letters which We publish gives
a particular account of the agonies of
the wounded and the nature ofthe atten-
dance in the hospital.
No truer word was ever spoke than
that the worst horrors of war do not en-
ter into literature. The sufferings of
thousands of mutilated wretches, the tum-
bril-wagons beating them away pelt-melt,
the extemporized opinion of the medical
corps as to whom it is worth while to
pick up and whom to leave to die on the
battle-field-—the hurly-burly of the hos-
pital—chopping off arms and legs as
though csnmabalism had come agniu—-
the surgeon, knife in hand. blood to eyes
and elbows, cutting and carving human.
ity as I butcher working against tin'.e--
the ghastly eye of the dying -—the help-
less shriek-—the murkv clad priest ud-
ministering consolation to those who
have no understanding left to comp;-3.
hend eternal hopes being swamped in
physical agony, these all are the phenom-
ena. that render gloomy and terrible the
boasted pleuders of victory itself.
