Tn the Wheat Fleld,
When the lids of the virgin Dawn unclose,
When the earth is fair and the heavens are
y
And the early breath of the wakening rose
~ Floats on the air in balm,
Yitand breast-high in the pearly wheat
4 That ripples and thrills to a sportive breeze,
no over thé field with its Hermes feet,
And its subtle odor of southern #eas ;
While out of the infinite azure deep
The flashing wings of the swallow sweep,
Buoyant and beautiful, wild and fleet,
Over the waves of the whispering wheat,
Aurora faints in the fulgent fire
Of the Monarch of Morning's bright em.
brace,
And the summer day climbs higher and higher
Upon the verulean space ;
The pearl-tints fade from the radiant grain,
And the sportive breeze of the ocean dies,
And soon in the noontide's soundless rain
The field seams graced with a million eyes;
Each grain with a glance from its lidded fold,
As bright as a gnome's in his mine of gold,
While the slumbrous glamour of beam and
heat
Glides over and ander the windless wheat.
Yet the languid spirit of lazy Noon,
With its minor and Morphean musio rife,
Is pulsing in low, voluptuous tune
With sammer’s lust of life.
Hark ! to the droning of drowsy wings,
To the honey-boes as they go and come,
To the “boomer’ * scarce rounding his sultry
nogs,
The gnat's small horn and the beetle's ham ;
And hark to the locust—noon’s one shrill
song—
Like the tingling steel of an elfin gong
Grows lower through quavers of long retreat
To swoen on the dazzled and distant wheat.
Now Day declines ! and his shafts of might
Are sheathed in a quiver of opal haze;
Still thro’ the chastened, but magie light,
What sunset grandears blase !
For the sky, in its mellow luster, seems
Like the realm of a master poet's mind
A shifting Kingdom of splendid dreams—
With faller and fairer truths behind ;
And the changeful colors that blend or part,
Ebb like the tides of a living heart,
As the splendor melts and the shadows meet
And the tresses of Twilight trail over the
wheat.
Thus Eve creeps slowly and shyly down,
And the gurgling notes of the swallows
conse,
They flicker aloft through the foliage brown,
In the ancient vesper poace ;
But a step like the step of a conscious fawn
1s stealing—with many pauses—this way,
Till the hand of my Love thro’ mine isdrawn,
Her heart on mine, in the tender ray;
Oh, hand of the lily, Oh, heart of truth,
Oh, Love, thou art faithful and fond as Ruth}
But I am the gleaner—of kisses—Sweet,
While the starlight dawns on the dimpling
wheat ! :
*The dagulde. or as commonly called “bumblebee.”
~Pauwl Hamilfon Hayne.
Chips was hungry. Well, there was
nothing remarkable in this, at least to }
Chips, ashe was often hungry, His
bill of fare for the day ran thus: For
breakfast, one bone, with crusts; din-
ner, nothing; supper, ditto; dessert,
moralizing reflections, You see, the
remarkable fact would have chanced
had he not been hungry.
When Chips was thus carnivorously
disposed he became exalted in rank, |
the height of his position depending |
upon the keenness of his appetite. If
he was mederately hungry, he was a
lord; if hungrier, he becamea duke; at
the very hungriest—a prince. i
At this epoch he was a prince.
When in this state Prince Chips,
often held imaginary conversations!
with invisible individuals, wherein he |
was expected to be answering such |
questions as “ Will your lordship deign |
to partake of this salad?” or,” “ Will |
your royal highness condescend to ac-|
cept this mutton ?" with the general]
answer, spoken in all complaisance, |
“ No, thank you, my good fellow, .I}
hav» sufficiently dined.” i
Chips palace overlooked the sea— |
being at the foot of Liberty street. |
It was large—for Chips; moreover, it]
was well ventilated, * Well," solilo- |
quized Chips, “folks needs fresh air in |
winter as well as summer, an’ when |
they wants things to keep they allus|
put ‘em in the cold.” And again: “A |
feller might growl, but Old J ack |
wouldnt let up on his toes all the|
same.” In addition to being a prince
Chips was also a philosopher. Every |
morning his royal highness emerged |
from his palace with his implements of |
trade—his box and brushes. “A prince |
blacking boots I” you exclaim, in won- |
der. Well why not? When it pleases |
our noble lords of the present day to |
metamorphose themselves into stage- |
drivers cannot a prince, with equal]
right, be a bootblack? Every evening |
he returned to his palace and bed of
straw. “Straw!” you cry. Well, why |
not again? A few centuries ago royal |
personages received visitors of state |
sitting upon rushes. It was merely a |
revival of ancient customs. Chips was |
not “tothe manor'born,” that is, he |
had not . always rejoiced in a title. |
He could remember a time once |
when he Thad slept under a
roof and washed his face, i
Far off? Oh, very far off; down
améng the ‘shadows of that strange
distant past he could dimly trace a]
ray of light. Jt was the thought of a|
gentle face that had once bent over |
him--eyes with their light of love]
shinigg into his; lips with a tender
curving, whispering low, “ My son.”
He fancied that he remembered,
sometilies, how a strange white pain
had settled upon the face, how the
brightness in the eyes had been but |
the gleam of tears, and the smilé upon |
the lips became sadder than any sigh.
He was not gnite sure of this, how-
ever. It might have been but a fancy
of his, but there was one thing that
he remembered well: A picture of a
darkened room, and a face resting
upon pillows whose whiteness was not
purer, and a voice crying out, faint
yet strong in its intensity of emotion:
“My boy, promise me—ne, your
mother, dying—that you will never,
never take what is not yours!” And |
seeing dimly the clouds that rested |
above him, and awed by the shadowy |
wings that hovered near, he had prom-
ised.
The vow stood out amid the bewil-
dering chaos like a star that éhines
among the somber clouds of a mid-
night sky, and he had kept it ever,
Now to-day it was not alone the
bill of fare that troubled Chips, al-
though that was not such as an Astor,
much less a prince, would have rel-
ished. But, alas, some one, unknown,
had stolen his box and brushes, Yet
his philosophy deserted him not.
“When a feller’s got property,” he
soliloquized, “he must expect ter be
burglarized when he don’t lock up his
safe.” |
Ife walked up Broadway—he did
not care to go hone to the palace-—
and stopped before a restaurant,
Oh, but there was such a tempting
display-—such flakey pies and great
doughnuts, and—and in the eenter—
how brown, how nice-a crisp, fat
turkey. Chips, looking, was almost
inclined to believe himself hungry. As
ft was, he amused himself watching
the waiters inside, faccying the great
bustle and preparation was all for him.
One spruce servant stopped another,
What was it he was saying ?

matched the little strip of sunshine that
every. morning comes in at his office

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD,
Leached Ashes.
The New Hampshire Mirror and
Farmer says : Leached ashes are good
for almost any crop, but should be ap-
plied with other fertilizers that con.
tain vegetable substances, like barn
| manure ; thus applied on most soils,
and for nearly all crops, twenty-five
cents a bushel would be cheaper than
commercial fertilizers, Fifty bushels
of ashes applied to an acre of land in
connection with two cords of good
stable manure would produce better
results for most crops than 150 bush
els applied without other fertilizers, or
five cords of stable manure applied
with no other fertilizer with it,

Cracked Corn for Chiloks,
The proper way to feed corn is to
give this grain in a “crushed” or
*oracked condition. Common cracked
corn may be fed to them or it may be
scalded to advantage before feeding,
It should be given to the fowls fresh,
however, as, if mixed with water
any other meal, it quickly grows sour
if not used. There are other advan-
tages in feeding it in this shape as
compared with the use of whole corn,
and those are that in the broken state
it is taken up much more easily than
are the whole kernels, and when eaten
it digests more readily, while the pro
cess of devouring a given quantity Is
slower, and the birds, if ever
hungry, cannot “gobble it down" in
bulk, as they incline to rush at the
whole seeds. But too much care can-
not be taken to provide of this article
