It wa a Eitheriti of lofty souls, Hith
sexes were reiirweuUil largely, and, althoiwli
the halt was Urge, ther was not room stilfi
cient to admit one-third of those who claim
cd admittance,
Hut two question were dlcued. Tho
ncn-.'VVby should thoscrap-bi'ltetsurvlve?'
and "Is it pimiule to ediieato an editor to a
prnpr appreciation of not try on Spring V
Tho opinion was unanimous. Tlien'rui
basket was voted an Initiate devourerof
Hintillntton) on Sprint?, and the editor wat
declared to be an obdurate animal, with n
soul too emuli to ever arrjve at a proptr a
preclation of the Spring imi-e.
Having settled lhee points, the aoc!a
lluti ilrciJttl to enjoy a fea"t of reaoo, and
every member, in. to and female, arose and
drew forth yard and yards of exquisite vtro
upon the sul jdet of Spring.
U imeo Jellir Jlgplitter, an ethereal youth
in black, wealing long hair and a il.rty
dicky, was tho first to give vent to his burn
ing soul. UN bosom heaved as he unroll
ed five yards ol foolscap, and turned his r.l
Ho? eye in the direction of llin ceiling, lie
had concentrated his voice in his socks, and
got o(T something sounding this wise ;
dally Spring poet.
In frenzy line,
ticrupundgolt,
And Jerk out your rhyme
On spring;
ilieen erring,
v KioenajanemeraM,
or as green as a lieu,
As green ns n cIim.
or as green 04 you could be,"
'I have here,' said Diouysius O'Gall, K.q.
'what strikes mo as being a very happy
thought on the subject that distends our.bos
nms. It i.s in eighty-seven verses, and al
though a little out of the common run, is in
fused with fioo poetic feeling. The eccen
tricity of lb, versification, you will observe,
Is one of its hidden charms.' The fiist line
runs thus:
"Who would suppozeit,
That any good l'oe-lt
could parse
Spring time and know It,
And not eoinpozlt
A varsc.
By thetimo the last verse was read the
association was palsied .vith admiration. It
was observed that the corkscrew curls of
dome of the poetesses gradually untwined as
the readiog progressed until they hung liite
sea weeds on a clay bank. Miss l'enelope
Ann Bouncer, a lady with a hiavenly eleva
ted nose, with many palpitations or the
heart, unrolled seven yards of manuscript,
and read In a high soprano key a poem, be
ginning :
"Editor, I do envy thee ;
Thylot,howroyt
To Mt by Iiours and days to read
Odes, stanzas, verses and poesy
On vernal Spring, by )Ing."
This gem had a most soothing efie2C"-t-
was remarked that the editor who could not
appreciate this was an unholy, unchristian
thing.
From profound lethargy the association
vas roused to a most exuberant state by the
reading of a pastoral composition by l'yg.
malion Gallaliu, which opened with thce
lines :
"I alius larl, a n' I alius sing j
I set right don n w Mi a v ery broad grin,
I match my pencil or soras Men till ng,
I vvrlto like thunder ; I do by Jtng.
About the grass and about the sasa.
Green fruit and the lass,
tolly wabble, which I pas.
And other Joys or spring."
The glory of being the parent of the only
epic production read fell to P. Pewter Bang-,
Eiq , a lobster-faced man with a breast like
a crab. Ho heaved out forty-seven stanzas
all about as bad as this :
"My prophet feet I 1 know It
The sensitive bunion, that nestles between my boot
and tho great too Joint, swells with raptures ;
Evry Individual corn aches aloud ;
He still my throbbing heart I
(ireat Cesar! What mean theso eirpilslto omens:
Why ache and groan, these monitors ol changing
seasons 1
O, gross and grovelling man, take heed ; Spring Is
here J tho poet tells It In his feet and buom sim
ultaneously. Stay not his sj in pathetic pen, O, Editor, but let him
sing lis Joys.
Ouch !"
A weazened little lady, with a penny
whistle voice, with a knob of thin hair
twisted tightly between her ears arose and
allowed sixteen verses to creep out between
her six dollar teeth, which opened In this
style :
"The llttlo lambs gambol ;
1 he lovely gli Is bcrambln
Their hair j
The gripes an J the o-ille,
1-xcurslonB and frolic
Andrairs
Are Inducted with beautiful Spring.1
The best looking girl lu the collection,
decorated with Irantie bangi and a bustle as
big as a bolster, tripped off this little en
trancing verse :
"Thou art tho bene or the seasons ;
Tls to thy chtrins mat I sing j
For this there aro dozens of reasons.
Thou bright young maiden, calledsprlng.
"your handmaids aro numerous, sweet beason ;
Some pleasant ; but others ob,dear 1
The collu and cramps aro the reason
I give vcuttocxpletlv.ssoiiueer."
'That is most txcruclatlngly lovely,' said
the chairman; 'but it has oue serious fault
it Is too bhort. Never cramp your soul to
less than sixteen verses. That is the advice
of one who has written long and suffered.'
Theu, addressing the association, President
O'Gall gave the following sound advice to
the members ;
'.My dearly beloved but crushed and swoon
ing sisters and brothers of tho poetic mute :
The auspicious season Is at hand when you
should shake off, as it were, your burnirg ef
fusions, and send them to theunapprcciatlve
editor for publication. Educate him up to
n proper appreciation of your ability by per
sistent 'lays.' Do not allow tho thoughts of
the gaping tcrap-basket to startle your muse.
Ilj not abashed by (he cynical editor ; for
Spring -gentle, ethereal Spring is at hand,
according to custom, and sighs that her
charms are not sung. It is just ns easy to
write poetry on Spring as it is to polish a
stovepipe, Nature has cast you in n mould
ubove stoveplpo polishing, and the muse cries
aloud to you to grapple your pen and grind
Some hidden beauties are still unrevealed
by your tiumerous tribe. Go, theu, to your
Mrveral habitations and write write of the
iieauties of Spring, tllieuul Spring. J'hila,
J.'e-ord.
CULTIVATION OF CORN.
How little tho world profits by annual ex'
perlcnce. Every year as tho season for vn
rious operations come nroiind, discussions
Rrle ns to the valuo of certain practices In
connection with these crop", which go over
thosamo ground ns those formerly occupied,
and which really tell nothing new, Jtit
now the nnnual question as to whether It Is
best to sow corn In drills or In hills is taken
up with a warmth and enthusiasm which
would do justice ton subject to be discussed
for tho first time. Tliocuilous putt of this
discussion is that the agricultural colleges
seem to lead olf In it One would suppose
Institutions of learning would know nil that
was already known and not set themselves
to expulsive experiments to find out what
every Intelligent farmer knows.
During the past fifty years hundreds and
hundrods of people havo tried whether or
not lrioro corn can bo raised to the aero by
sowing In drills, ns marking out one way is
cilled, than when Ills nwu In the check
work or hill plan, and the evidence has ben
uniform that when the plants are not closer
than eighteen Inches npart In the row, tho
weeds kept down, and the general culture
the -111118 ns for hilled corn, there Is more
corn to the acre produced. If thero evtr
has been a doubt of this expressed afur act
ual trial we have lint heard it.
Hut the real point of interest Is whether
this way of growing corn is the most profit
able? Wo n.sl-ed this question some time
since, aud wo believe no did see an article
in reply, to show that it was the most profita
ble. The figures were given, and as they
were given, made to appear In favor of tho
drilling plan. In tho drllllm; way it is
found that much more hand labor Is reiuir-
ed than when planted in hills that the hor-e
can do most of the wotk. Iu tho figures giv
en the value of the horse's work on the hill
plan was given as if he had been hired at
so many dollars a day. In tho drill system
as given In the figures, there seemed to be a
great saving of horse labor: but In all prob
ability while the osnerof that crop was
hammering away at the weeds with a hoe
along the line, the horse was idling away in
the stnblo eatingbis head off.
It seems to us that at times our agricultu
ral colleges do not go enough Into the profits
ol things. There are in farming a thousand
things which aro true, but which are not
profitable. iNow agriculture is not a sci
ence, nor was It ever intended to be, nor will
it ever be a science : but it can and docs re-
celvo great aid from science. It is science
which discovers that a rowof com will yield
more than the same lineal measurement in
hills ; but true ugricullure is that which de
cides whether after all wo can make the lit
tle bit of science profitable. Gtrmantoicn
Telegraph,
Tin: I'AKrr.inar.. To show how useful
tho beautiful and harmless partridge i, it
is stated that a (lock of them was seen run
ning along the rows of corn just sprouting.
and seeing them engaged at something vhich
was believed to be pulling up tho voting
plants, one of them was killed and its crop
examined, which was found to contain one
cut worm, twenty-one striped bugs nod over
one hundred chinch-bugs. Ano her man
says he has adopted measures to protect the
birds, and tbat they have become to numer
ous and so tamo that hundreds of them, alter
the snow falls, can bo seen in the barnyard
with his fowls when they are fed. As a re
sult of their presence upon his premises, his
wheat crops wvre unusually abundant, while
in many other places not far off the chinch-
bugs and other insects had destroyed half
tho crop. jMhanrc.
"1 Don't Want That Stuff,"

band "hen he brought home some medicine
to cure her of sick headache and neuralgia
which had made her miserable i6i fourteen
years. At the first nttnek thereafter, it was
administered to htr with such good results,
that she continued itsuso until cured, and
made so enthusiastic in its praNe, that she
induced twenty-two of tho best ladies in her
circle to adopt it as their regular family
medicine. That 'stuff is Hop Bitters.
