THE DESERTED FARM.
WP g.!zed upon the peasant's home;
It was a pleasant scere,
Secluded in a little dell,
A stream kept ever t;rcen:
While a sinall strip of I'.ided ;rr;iss
Shew'd where a swing trad heen
Ah, many a merry-hearled boy
Had frolic'd there, I ween.
My heart jrrew sad, the walls were bare,
No breathing tiling was near.
And fancy sicken'd at the thought
That death had revelled here.
On the green eod we pitying dropped
A sympathetic tear,
To nvMirn the happy group tliat once
Had congregated herei
TheTe was a wild rose trained with care,
A mark of woman' taste,
A drawing rudely scratched with chalk
Some childish hand had traced;
And every where the neat white walls
With pictures rude defaced;
Oh what had made this humble home,
So pleasant once, a waste
New was the ruin, yet T found
A mark of man's decay;
Ahroken crutch upon the floor.
In one dark comer lay.
Which once methought might have sustained
A dame or grandsire gray:
I called aloud the echoing hills
Repeated; "where are they"
We left with hearts oppress'd and sad
The desolate abode,
And saw a sturdy rustic; lad
Come whistling down the road;
We asked what caused that ruined scene,
And begged him to direct us
"W hy, stranger, that was Hrown's old place,
Who broke and went to Texas."

' Defalcations. Almost every mail
brings intelligence of some new act of
villany perpetrated upon banks; and two of
ten by bank officers themselves. It seem
as if Ihe ancient laodmai ks of honesty and

fortunes, not a few have become desperate
in character, and rush on to destruction by
the nearest road.
As nc v defalcations arc constantly deve

pnblie see to the bottom of the frightful
gulf of fraud and villany which has been

late revulsion. Experience proves that
such catastrophes are quite as disastrous to
public morals as to pecuniary interests."

Surgical Science. -Dr. George II. Tai
lor, a young Physician of Newbern, N. C,
has succeeded in a desperate ease of defor
mity, which admitted of I i : tie hope of suc
cess, in affording relief to a patient whose
siluition was truly appalling.
He was a black man about 21 years of
a-e. w ho was left exposed, when two
weeks old, io a damp place, and since then
,ii i : ki r'
has been a helpless cripple, incapable of
standing, walking or even extending his
limbs. Dr. Taylor found him afflicted
with club feet, the upper part completely
turned down; the left knee sa contracted
that the calf of the leg touched the thigh;
his right knee and left arm also much con
tracted; and there was likewise a spasmo
dic affection of the muscles which threw
him into spasms when he attempted to
speak. In addition to this, ihe crouch
ing posture in which he had passed his
life caused a considerable curvature of the
spine. Unappalled by such a complication
of diflV ullies, the Doctor immediately re
sorted to the most approved methods re
cently introduced of dividing the muscles,
some of which were so tense that on the
touch of the instrument they snapped with
considerable noise. The club feet were
were soon brought r. their proper position,
the legs and arms straightened, and in two
months the patient was so far recovered as
to be able to s'and, and speak with
comparative ease, and no doubt is enter
tained of the ultimate recovery of the use
of his limbs.

About these indelible inks we have a
true story. Just after it was stated that
the Bank of England had the secret of an
indelible ink, a very ingenious gentleman
from New Orleans submitted a preparation
of his own, to the bank in this place. It
was submitted to various chemical test?,
and resisted all when the President of the
Hank of Charleston dipped a small sponge
in pure cistern ivaler, and wiped out the
writing completely. The ink stood every

The Census. The editor of the Cincin
nati -Chronicle has been examining the
six leuin.sof ihe census, taken ai intervals
often years each since the adoption of the
constitution. Tlie investigations show
some curious facts.
1. The population of the United States
increase exactly 34 per cent, each ten
years, and which doubles every twenty
four years. The law is so uniform and
permanent, that when applied to the popu
lation of 1790, and brought down to ihe
present time, it produces nearly the very
result as shown by the census of 1S40.
And thus we may tell with great accuracy
what will be the census of li50. It will
be nearly twenty -three millions.
2. But. though this is the aggregate re
sult, it is by no means true of each particu
lar part of the country, for New England
increases at the rate of 13 per cent, each
ten years, while the Nonli Wf stern States
increase 100 per cent in that p-riod.
3. The slave population increased at 30
percent, hut smce at less than 25 per
cent. The free population have, however,
increased at the rate ol'Pfi pr rent. Atlhis
i;te, therefore, the difference between the
free and slave population is constanly in
creasing. 4. Another fact is, tint the colored
population increase jut in proportion to
toe dis ;oce Sorob: :iml thnt sliverv is rer-

population of the United States on the Gulf

Union nj Episcopalians and Methd
dists The London Magazine states, that
the Bishop of Exeter complains that Uni
tarian and Universalis principles are gain
irg ground in England with unexampled
rapidity, and seriously threatening to over
turn the national churrh. He says it is
now absolutely necess iry, that some of the"
large dissenting churches should re-unite
with them, and make a stout defence
against their ''common enemy." He calls
first and most earnestly on the Methodists,
who, he argues, do not differ from his
church in any point which should now be
considered essential. He smoothsthe path
by withdrawing the name of Dissenters,
heretofore used, and substituting "Separa
tisfs," as a milder term, and one of less
reproach.
For the Bite of a Snake, the most sim--ple

that it has been tried many times on men
and dogs, ai d they hive invariably recov

hands are exposed to he bitten by rattle

they have several times found use for it.
