Soon as the blast of that underground thunder clap echo'd away,

Storia at the Wate-zate! storm at the Bailey- gate | storm, and it ran
Surging and swaytng all round us, as ocean an every side aa
Planves and heaves at a bank that is daily d-owned by the tide —
So many thousands that if they be bold enough who shall escape ?
Kill or be kill’d, live or die, they shall know we are soldiers and men! :
Ready! take aim at their leaders— their masses are gapp’d with our grape—
Rackward they reel like the wave, like the wave flinging forward again,
Flying and foul’d at the last by the handful they could not subdue ;
And ever upon the topmast roof our banner of England blew. 7:

Then on another wild morning, another wild earthquake out-tore
Clean from our lines of defence ten or twelve good paces or more.
Rifleman, high on the roof, hidden there from the light of the sun—
One has leapt up on the beach, crying out: ‘‘ Follow me! follow me!”
Mark him—he falls ! then another, and Aim, too, and down goes he.
Had they been boli enough then, who can tell but the traitors had won?
Beardings and rafters and doors—an embras_ ure ! make way for the gun!
New double-charge it with grape ! e|, and we fire, and they run.
Praise to our Indian brothers, and let the dark face have his dae!
Thanks to the kindiy dark faces who fought

Fought with the bravest amongst us, and drove them, and smote them, and slew,

Hark, canonade, fusilade !7is it true what was told by the scout ?
Outram and flivelock breaking their way through the fell mutineers!
Surely the pibroch of Karope is ringing again in our ears !
All on a sudden the garrison utter a jubilant shout.
Havelock’s glorious Iighianders answer with conquering cheers,
Forth from their holes and their hidiags our women and children come out. Blessing the wholesome white faces of Have- lock’s good Fusileers, Kissing the war-harjeu’d hand of the High- lander wet with their tears !
Dance to the pibroch !- saved!—we are saved !—is it you ?—is it you?
Saved by the valour of Havelock, saved by the blessing of Heaven !
**Hold it for fifteen days!” we have held it fo- eighty-seven !
And ever aloft on the palace roof the old ban- } ner of England blew.

An Asparagus Bed.

He who lives in the country and has no asparagus bed has at least one heavy, sin of omission on his conscience for which be never can give an 1 nll

an asparagus bed is anything but ortho- dox, and yet can not cali himself a rationalist. Some are under the delu- sion that an asparagus bed is an obtruse garden problem and an expensive lux- ury. Far from it. Tae plants of Con- over’s Colossal (the best variety) can be obtained of my seedsman at slight cost. , almost a daily supply from the middle of April till late in June, and I shall make another bed in this simple way: As early in April as the ground is dry enough—the sooner the better—I shall chose some warm, early, but deep seil, enrich it well, and then oa one side of the plot open a furrow or treach eight inchesdeep. Down this furrow I shall seatter a heavy coat of rotted compost, and then rana plough or pointed hoe through itagain. By this process the earth and compost are mingled, and the furrow rendered about six inches deep. Along its side, ove foot apart, I will place one-year-old plants, spreading out the roots,and taking care to keep the crown or top of the plan’ five inch- es below the surface when iv |; then half fill the furrow over the pi. =. and when the young shodts-are wel: u,>, vill the furrow even. I shall make the fur- rows two feet apart, and after planting as much space as 1 wish. the bed is
mado for the next {fy years. Io my father’s garden there was a good lei over fifty years
old. The young :hoots should not be cut up, and erly sparingly the third year, on the same principle that we do not put young coltsat work. The as- parayas is a marine plavt, and dustings f sult sufficient to kill the weeds will

Why Bers Worx 1n THE Dark.— A life-time might be spent in investigat- iug the mysteries hiddea in a bee-hive, and still half of the secrets would be un- discovercd.

Hvery- oue knows what honey fresh from the eomb is like. It isa clear, yellow syrup, without a trace of solid sugar iv it. Upon straining, however, it gradually assumes a crystalline appearance ; it candies, as the saying is, aod ultimately becomes a solid mass of sugar. It has not been sus- pected that this change was due to a photographic action ; that the same agent which alters the molecular arrapngement of the iodiue of silver on the excited col- lodium plate, and determines the forma- tion of cimphor and jodine crystals in a bottle, causes the syrup hogey to as- sume a crystalline furm.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many diiferent diseases has deen caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe rcsort to the use of ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELVIN’s Carstcom Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. Al) other plasiers are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirety dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physiciansin all ages have thoronghly tested and well know the effeet of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELvVIN’s CApsicUM
. Porous PLAsTrERs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and hack. and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliaiment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain eure. ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisoncus material commonly used in the manutacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufticient guarantee
