THE "AUCR."
Once upon an evening bleary,
"While I sat me dreamy, dreary,
In the sunshine thinking over
Thing3 that passed In days of yore ;
While I nodded, nearly sleeping,
Gently came a something creeping
Up my back like water leapiug
Leaping upward from the floor;
"Tis a cooling breeze," I muttered,
'From the regions 'nearb the floor
Only this and nothing more !"
Ah ! distinctly I remember
It was in that wet September,
"When the earth and every member
Of creation that it bore '
Had for tlayrf and weeks been soaking
Iu the meanest, most provoking
Foggy rains that, without joking.
AV'e had ever seen bwbre ;
So I knew It must be very
Cold and dump beneath the floor
Very cold beneath the floor J
So I sat me nearly napping
Jn Ihe sunshine, stretching, gaping,'
Craving water, but delighted
With the breeze from 'ueath the floor;
Till I found me waxing colder,
And the stretching growing bolder,
And myself a feeling older
Older than I'd felt before;
Feeling that my joints were stifler
Than they were in days of yore
Stifler than they'd been before !
All along my back the creeping
Soon gave place to rushing, leaping.
As ifcountless frozen demons
Had concluded to explore
All the cavities "the varmints !"
'Twist nic and my nether garments,
Up into my hair and downward
Through my bnoU into the floor;
Then I found myself a-shaking.
Gently first but more and more
Kvery moment move and more.
'Twas the "ager."" And it shook me
In my very clothe, and took me
Shaken to the kitchen every
Place where tliere was warmth in store;
Shaking till the dishes clattered.
Shaking till the tea was spattered,
Sinking, and with all my warming
Feeling colder than before ;
Shaking till it had exhausted
All its powers to shake me more
Till it could not shake me more !
Then it rested till the morrow,
Then resumed, with all the Iwrror
That it had the face to borrow,
Shaking, shaking as before;
And from that TTiy 1n September-
Day that I shall long remember
It has made diurnal visits,
Shaking, shaking on so sore !
Shaking oft" my hoots, and shaking
3Ie to bed, it nothing more
Fully this and nothing more !
i
And to-day the fewallows flitting
Hound my cottage see me sitting
Moodily within the sunshine
Just inside my silent door
Waiting for the "nger," seeming
Like a man forever dreaming ;
And the sunlight on me streaming
Throws no shadow on the floor
For I am too thin and sallow :
To make shadows on the floor
Xary shadow any more !
Aueedole of n XewfoniKlland Doir.
A gentleman connected with the New
foundland fishery was once possessed of a
dog ot singular fidelity and sagacity. On
one occasion a boat and a crew in his. cm
ploy were in circumstances of consider
able peril, just outside a line ot breakers,
which owing to spina change in wind or
weather hail, since tiic departure of the
boat, rentlcrcd the return passage through
them most hazardous. I The spectators on
the shore were quite unable to render any
assistance to their frii;tid afloat. Much
time had been spent, and the danger seem
ed to increase rather tlian dimiuish. Our
friend, the dog, looked on for a length ' of
time, evidently aware of there being great
cause for anxiety in those around. Pres
ently, however, he took to the water, and
made his way through to the boat. The
crew supposed he wished to join them, and
made various attempts to induce him to
come aboard, but no I ho would not go
Within their reach, but continued swim
ming about a short distance from them.
After a while, and several comments on
the conduct of the doggone, pt thp . hands
suddenly divined his apparent meaning s
"Give him the end of a rope," he said;
'"that is what he wants." The rope was
thrown the dog sehsed the end in an in
stant, turned round, and made straight
for the shore ; where a few minutes after
wards, boat and crew thanks Jp the intel
ligence of their four-footed friend were
placed safe and undamaged. Was there
no reasoning here? No acting with a view
to an end, or for a given motive ? Or was
it nothing but ordinary instinct?
A PoM iiKDL Magnet. Prof. Smythe
was once lecturing on natural philosophy,
and in the course nt his experiments he
introduced one of Carrington's most pow
erful magnets, with which he attracted a
block of iron from a distance of two feet.
"Can any ot yon conceive a greater at
tractive power?" the lecturer demanded.
"1 ken," answered a voice from the
audience.
' Not a natural terrestrial object?"
"Yaas, sir."
The professor challenged the man who
had spoken to name the thing.
Then up rose oi l Seth Wiuilt t. He was
a genius in his way, and original. Said he:
"I ken give ye the facts, "sfjiiirej and ye
can judge for yourself, W hen I were a
young iiwn,. thar were a little' piece o'
nateral magnet, done up in kaliker and
dimity, as was called Betsey Jane. She
could draw tne fourteen miles eveiy Sun
day. Sakes alive! it were jest nn -nateral
as slidin' down hill. Thar wa'n t no re
sistin' her. That ere magnet o' yourn is
pooty good, but 'taint a circumstance to
the one "at draw'd ue."
Says the Nucleus : "We are behind this
week, and wo don't care who knows it
wo h.iye a right to bu-rlts a girl."
THE COLLEGE,
In company with a tew others it was our
pleasure to pay a vistt to the College on
last Friday afternoon. The building is a
ljery commodious one, -and nicely located.
Preparations are under way tp ornament
the groundi with shade and evergreen
trees, which will greatly atld to the beauty
and appearance of the institution.
As this was the usual time for rhetorical
exercises, we fcmntl Prof. Powell, witli his
able assistant teachers and students, all as
sembled in the chapel. Thp exercises con
sisted of essays, recitations and songs.
Space will hardly admit of speaking of the
different . perfonp.ers and the merits of
their performance ; suffice it to say, nil ac
quitted themselves creditably. It - might
not be amiss to mention that Miss Maggie
Foster and Anna Clark, wjUh .one or .two
others, rendered their pieces in a highly
pleasing and satisfactory way. They
seemed perfectly at ease, and entered with
spirit and feeling into their recitations.
Some ol the essays showed that much time
and thought had been given in their prepa
ration. The singing was entered into by
the entire school, and was fully appreciated
by the visitors present.
The school numbers some one hundred
and fifty pupils, and is gradually increas
ing. Prof. Powell is sparing no effort to
build up the College and make it prosper
ous and successful, and worthy the patron
age of the people and those who desire a
more lilwral education.
At the close ot the exercises Rev. J . F.
De Vore made some very appropriate and
pointed remarks, which were fully appre
ciated by the students.
The visit was a pleasant one, and we
hoiK! often to have the pleasure of renew
ing the same. A VISITOR.
IIai-sey Items. From the Nucleus of
Nov. 20th we get these items :
Ilalsey Is still sending wheat off to
Portland.
Mr. Sherman Powell is home again after
an absence of Some months, at Walla
Walla where he has been for his health
which is much better.
Some little interest seems to be taken in
regard to our municipal election, which
will fake place next week. Quite a num
ber of candidates lor the various offices are
talked of.
Quite a little melee took place between
one of our principal merchants and the
railroad agent the other- day, through some
misunderstanding no bones broken.
The Rey. 1. 1. Driver has been holding
quite a revival here all hist week, and still
going on.
New bouses still going up, notwithstand
ing the bad weather.
One of our young nimrods did pretty
well the other day, shooting 20 geese by
tiring both barrels of his gun at a flock.
Land is getting scarce down here it
seems, for about one-third is water.
Where is that Swamp Land Ring?
MST-KEWARD,
Strayed from the subscriber, about four
months since, a young cow, about tour
years old, light red in color; ends of horns
come close together in front of face ; in
good condition when last seen. Said ani
mal was formerly owned by Prof. Sox, of
this city, who purchased her of Mr. John
Tsom. A liberal reward will be given to
anj- one giving information so that I can
obtain her.
Also, on Monday, November Gth, 1S7C,
infant's blue cape, embroidered in white;
lost between this pity and my farm on the
Calipoola. Any one returning the capp
to me, or leaving it at the Registeu office,
will be suitably rewarded.

Ear fflnrka of Batter Cows.
John Shattuck, a noted butter dairy-man
of Chenango couuty. N. Y said at the.
late convention of the New York htate
Dairymans Association, that he had found
tlie color on the inside the ear to be an lnT
fallible guide in the selection of a good butr
tercow. If the skin on the inside the ear
is of a rich yellow color, the cow was sure
to give a good quantity ot milk; that is
milk rich in butter. He said in all his ex
lerience lie had never known this sign to
fajl. J. AV". North, in the Maine Fanner,
gives some further information concerning
the subject. He observes that cows pro
ducing very high colored butter have a
large amount ot the ear secretion, in many
instances the whole internal surface being
covered with a thick orange colored, oily
matter ; on the other hand, the light-color
ed butter makers present a scanty, thin and
pale yellow secretion, in some cases found
only at the bottom of the ear. His theory
is that every animal has the power of se
creting a ceitaiu amount of this yellow
pigment, u Hie quantity be sufficiently
large, secretion -will take place freely in
the tnamary glands, the ear and skin.

Sunday School, at the church, last Monday
night, was a grand treat to all in attend

excitement, and other causes, was not very
large, but was select and appreciative,
The singing by the school was, in every
instance, first rate, showing an improve

in matter and delivery, evidencing elocu

- Gentlemen Several years since I took
severe cold, which settled on my lungs,
where it remained without relaxation. I
was then iu Massachusetts, and growing
worse and becoming unable tq attend, M
my business I returned home and corn- -menced
searching in earnest for some med
icine which would! restore my lost health.
I consulted physicians, I tried many reme
dies, but obtained no help, but daily grew
worse. I had a terrible cough, and raised
a good deal of blood. I had profuse ntghf
sweats, and severe pain In my side. I con
tinued in this state tor months, and became
so weak that it was with great difficulty I ;
could walk, when I was, adyfaed to try,
Wlstar's Balsam ot AVild Cherry, and to
my great joy I soon lound tliat this remedy
had arrested the disease. I continued to,
use the Balsam to tho extent of five footf'"-,
and have since then experienced t!''1'
culty of the lungs : I believe the Balsam
saved my lite, and I shall ever hold it iu
high estimation. GsQ
