Upoa one of the most unfrequented bridges of Paris was every day to be seen a man of sixty years of age, clothed in rags, but in seeming good health. . The old man asked the charity of passers-by in a plaintive voice, and as he appeared worthy, many a sou was hrown into his cup. One evening a ady passed near "Mm, and taking a piece of money from her purse, put it in the old man's hands and walked on, unconscious of having done a kind act. pon returning to her own house she discovered that instead of a penny, -she tad, through mistake, given the old4bcg- gar a twenty franc piccev She imme diately returned to the bridge, but the a nri mendicant was cone, lurnmcr to a woman, also a beggar, upon the bridge, she inquired the old man's address, and earned that he lived in the Rue de Lille. The next morning she went to the house indicated, and found it to be an clejrant hotel. , "No doubt he lives in one xf those garrets, where he is permitted to lodge rent free. . I'll nsk. Old Marcel!" she demanded of the porter. "First story in front, madame." Arrived at the room alluded to, the lady felt certain that there must be some mistake. She did not like to trouble the servants of a prince to ask iftcr a beggar, but finally suppressing her enotion, and determined to see the end of the adventure, s!r rang the Sell. A man in livery presented him self. '. " ' ; - ."Could you show mc the room o old Marcel ?" asked the lady. "It is here," answered the servant "please sit down, and I will call Mon- ,, . . . . steur. . . . "There is certainly a blunder some where, thought the lady, "but as the same names are frequently borne by ri-'h and poor alike, I shall only need to beg pardon." Scarcely had she seated herself upon a sofa, when a second domestic opened the door of a handsome saloon, and a tall man, wrapped in a -rich morning gown, advanced and said : "Of what service can I be to you, madame 'Why, sir," stammered the lady, "I trust you will excuse the apparent impertinence,-but the name the address even a striking resemblance may plead for the error I have made. These are the circumstances: Yesterday in passing over th Point Royal, I hastily gave a Napoleon instead of a copper to a poor man who but the details are useless; permit me to retire." : . "Remain, madame, if you please," he answered, "you arc not mistaken. You are speaking to old Marcel, and I recognize you"as the lady who has fre quently bestowed alms upon me. If, by error, you gave mc a twenty franc piece, we will try to recover the coin. Picrre,bring me yesterday's receipts !" The lackey disappeared, and the la dy was more astonished than ever. In a moment Pierre returned, bearing a large plate, upon which was a pile of small money, which the old man order ed him toemptyupon the table. Mar cel then turned over the coppers, and presently found the piece. "You are right, madame," said he, courteously handing it to her, Here is the" coin." Correixnolcnt of Boston Journal.

Parents, do von . think of this. when you place a book or periodical on your center table? do you consid er its influence for good or evil ? - - , Every book, every paper, has a soul, breathing a spirit good or bad. It is the soul of its author, and when spread over the pages of the book, that soul acts upon its reader, as truly as when acting directly. Th3 person who touch es the book cortes in contact with the soul, and is, nolcn volensf' affected by it. And no contact with it is more' in fluential. In reading an author's book you are conversing w ith him under cir cumstances very favorable to your be coming like him ; for in the book ev ery thing is, generally deeply thought out, in shape to convince; or carefully dressed up in a manner to bewitch. And all this only indicates the necess ity of reading with care and caution. Would ycu, when purchasing books or papers for your children, have their minds contaminated with vicious prin ciple3, let them read every thing that pours forth, like a torrent, from the press of the day. Jiemember, while extolling the value of the press, that it is powerful for evil as it is great for good. . ' ' - ' Remember that the enemy of souls employs it to .lisseminate his destruc tive doctrines, and he has even more laborers, probably in his employ, than the Captain of our salvation. Why should we be so careful in re gard to the food with which our bodies are nourished, while we pay so little attention to mental pabulum which our minds receive ? Remember, we can as easily plant the sces of disease in the mind as in tho body, and that disease implanted in the mind is eradicated with more drSculiy than that of the body. ' -, '. A book or a paper exerts an influ encc, not only in time, but as eternity rolls on. O, how infinitely, ' momen tously important, that a Avise, judicious selection of reading be made .for al especially for the rising age! Legal Tender. 1.

From the Valley Farmer. Yalnaolc Remedies. V Messrs. Editors : Being" in pos session' of some remedies that iire. .Cer tain cures for tbe worst diseases that horse flesh is heir to, I Wish to com municate them to, the public'.in some angible form, so that they may not be lost to posterity. ;j If Jjte following directions are strictly 'followed, the cure is certain and safe beyond cavil ; FOB, SWEENEY.' Try the grease out of one pound of old fat bacon, and just as it begins to harden add the whites of five or six eggs and as much salt as -it will dis solve.: Rub ue horses shoulder orjhb sunken part for 10 or 15 minutes with this ointment with a cob, and then sear it in" with a hot iron; repeat it twice with an intermission of j three days,' and the horse is cured. If the appli cation is made earl A once searing will be sufficient. Three applications are only needed where the horse has long . a. been neglected. FISTULA AND POLL EVIL. In tho first stages of these diseases, they may be driven back or scattered by a very simple application. ,-, Take' a piece of thick cotton batting and sat urate it in Venice turpentine ; . lay it on the diseased part of the hQrses withers or back of his iead as it may be, fistula or 'polo evil; grease around the batting or margin of the swelling, sear it in with a hot iron and smith's tongs. The batting will very soon dry It must "be wet as" often as tho third time with turpentine before the twitch is taken off the horse3 lip. Repea this process the third time with an in tcrmission of four or five days. If the disease has progressed long, and super ation commenced stick a knife in the orifice about 3 inches deep; and inser GO grains of arsenic to the bottom o the Incission with a stick The horse must be kept out of the vain till the ar sonic had had time to bo expelled from tho wound,' but it should be kept in 'til it is all carried off by the slufiing of the wound, then it should be washed twice a day with' a decoction of poke roo and bast steel soap suds.' The arsenic must be tied up in a piece of book mus lin or other thin muslin. In. about three weeks the arsenic.will have cat en all of the diseased flesh around the centre or core. There will bo formed on the surface a fungas growth of griz zly substance, the size of a man's fist, with a shank perhaps an inch and a half in diameter, running deep into the shoulder ; cut this off as low down as practicable. After the blood has ceas ed to flow sprinkle some arsenic in .the bottom of the sore. In two or three days wash the sore with the poke root spap suds. Apply dry calomel after the heal-process has commenced. I have cured many horses' in this way after they had been given up as incurable and worthless, and they made about as good farm horses ' as, any I had. ' ' ' "Bid nEAD . . . -May be cured with very little trouble A horse with the 'big head becomes stiff all over, and the large 'muscles leading from the eye to the nostril be come perfectly rigid Annoint those muscles well with the oil of Cedar and sear it in with a hot iron three or four times, with an intermission of six or seven days, but rub the oil on every day. Take a piece of poke root about as large as a goose egg, put it ,in 6 quarts of water and boil down to 3 quarts; drench the horse with one pint of it every other day as long as it lasts; fill the drenching, bottle.with a pint of fresh water after the poke tea has been put in it. scorns ix foals All colts Iiavc . scours- whose, xlams are bad sucklers and aro deprived' of good pasturage ; consequently the foal has to cat too much grass and weeds tho - result is , scoursv. .Whereas, .a mare that gives abundantsuck the foa feeds but little, t and gets its 'nourish ment from the dam.- Egg Xog wil cur givt curctheWrst form' of-this' disease iven twice a day until the complain fl begins to subside.

As.this branch of business is begin ning to have proper attention paid to it, every one is striving to raise fruit the clieapest and quickest way possi ble. ' There are many and extensive nur series to be found, producing and send ing forth through the country a gTeat number of fruit and ornamental trees ; still the supply is inadequate to the de mand, or the real wants of the country at large. The growing of fruit-will : never be carried on to an extent that will cause it to be unprofitable ; for it is beauti fully adapted as food, for man or beast. The most extensive fruit tree produc ing country is that of Monroe Co., N. Y., where it is carried on more as it should be than in any other portion of our country. . ' , . The common method of ingrafting into the root of a seedling, is ono that produces a good sized tree in a very short time, and is therefore preferable to the old method of setting a tree anc letting it get its growth nearly, before the grafts are put in. It also forms tree bearing one kind of fruit, which is better than to have a variety on one tree, as that greatlyr retards the pro gress of picking. Now, as tho process of grafting is a very simple one, the main point being to have the bark meet exactly, let ev ery , man who- has any taste for it, pre pare, a small or large piece of ground soyr the seeds, and when the sprouts have attained a sufljeient growth, graft them, with such fruit as he desires; so tliat in the course of a, few years, he may have an abundance ot Iruit ot lu own choice and raising. Apple trees may, be produced in this way with very little trouble, it not being necessary, to procure the .bare seeds; but after hav ing prepared the ground and cut. the drills, far enough apart to allow you to work' between' the rows, take coreings or pomace if ' the apples" have been . -h 'i j j :- ,i , i- i j t ground so as .to not cut all the seeds, and scatter it in the dr'lls so that you will get in; seeds enough, and if there arc too many sprouts when they come up, it is a very easy matter to pull some of them out. ' The proper time to put the seeds in the ground is in the fall. Let no man think, because he has a good orahard at present, that he need not raise fruit trees ; but consider, like himself, the trees may and will pass away. Consequently, now is tne time to commence raising others to fill the places of those now living; for, unless a man leaves things as good or better than he finds them, he has lived "much to little purpose." .

Y., who writes us that he is 77 years old, and of course has had some experience, says that if armers will put one dry brick to ev ery five bushels of grain put up in bins' or into the center of a barrel of wheat flour or. meal, it will not grow moldy or soar. We have never, tried bricks for .this purpose, . but have usedr and often recommended others to use a stone of a few pounds weight, in the center 'of, a barrel of corn, meal, with tho assurance of its being .beneficial, and we have no doubts the. use . ofl a clean," dry brick would bc; niorfr so,'afc it is better calculated to absorb inoist- ure than stone-. , -k v.WopoiS in Horses.

Oaff day a stout fellow, with a beard like a shoe-brush, went into a barber shop and took a chair for a shave. One of the young men in attendance waited upon him promptly, gave him a close shave, and put him in first-rate' order to make a decent appearance in the streets. When the process was complete and tho stranger was ready to depart, he made an inspection of his pockets, and finally found a cent, which he handed to the boy in payment for. the service he had performed. He was politely informed that the price of shav ing was a sixpence. The man replied very coolly, "I know it, and that (pointing to tho cent) only lacks five ccnta of it ! You ain't agoing to stand for half a dirao ?" ''''. ' There wa3 no appeal from this. All the people in the shop, customers in-' eluded, were Convuhcd with laughter at the impudence of the fellow ; buthia gravity 'was unshaken. He took his hat and departed, calculating, no doubt, that he had driven a good bargain with the barber, and was soon C33ting about for another chance to save half a dime.
