MOTHER'S GRAVE.
BY GBORtIE D..PRENTICE.
The tremblink dew-drops fall
Upon the shutting flowers like souls at rest;
The stars shibe gloriously, and all
Save me are blessed.
gother! I love thy grave !
The violet, with its blossoms blue and mild,
Waves o'er thy head. When will it wave
Above thy child's?
'Tis a sweet flower; yet Must -
Its bright leaves to the morning tempest
[bow?
Dar Mother, 'tis thine emblem—dust
Is on thy brow.
And I could ]ovo to die—
To leave until...4E4d life's dark, bitter streams,
By thee, as first in childhood, lie,
And share thy dreams.
And I must linger here
To stain the plumage of my sinless years,
And mourn the hopes of childhood dear
With bitter tears.
Aye, I must linger, here,
A lonely branch upon a withered tree,
Whose last frail leaf, untimely sere,
Went down with thee.
Oft from life's withered bower,
In still communion with tho past, I turn,
And muse on thee, the only flower
In memory's urn.
And when the evening pale,
Bows like a thourner, on the dirn,blua wave,
I stray to hear the night winds wail
Around thy grave. ,
Where is thy spirit flown ?
I gaze above—thy look ,s imaged there—
I listen, and thy gentle tone
Is on the air.
0, come, while here I press
My brow upon thy grave, and in those mild
And thrilling tones of tenderness,
Bless, bless thy child !
THE MASTER'S TOUCH
In the still air music lies unheard ;
In the rough marble beauty lies unseen;
To wake the music and the beauty, needs
The master's touch, the sculptor's chisel
[keen.
Great Master, much us with Thy skilful
[hand,
Let not the music that is in us die ;
Great Sculptor, hew and polish us; nor let,
Hidden are! lost, Thy form within ns lie.
Spare not the stroke; do with us as thou
[wilt;
Let there be nnugtit unfurnished, broken,
[marred ;
Complete Thy purpose, that we may be
[come
Thy perteet image, 0 our God and, Lord.
OUR THOUGHTLESS WORDS
Reader, did you ever think how much a
word can ,wound Pei haps some sorrowing
mortal is near yuu even now, thirsting in her
heart for a single gentle word. Every •heart
knoweth its own bitteiness," but bow few of
us ever sympathize in another woe. We
pass and repass the mourning, sorrowing one,
and perhaps a lew
.common-place words of
condolence fall with a cold, unmeaning, life
less expression from our lips; and we think our
duty done : and often. very often, a smile of
derision, an unkind word, and a rankling. fes
tering wound is inflicted which barns the heart
as long as life lasts.
Ah : how little do we think how our thought
less words influence the destiny of others fur
time and eternity: A single harsh expres
sion falls from our lips, which is forgotten by
us almost ac soon as uttered, and a mildew
blight falls upon some heart, which had our
words been fitly spoken, might have budded
and blossomed in an eternity of happiness.
Then, reader, let your words be those of
gentleness, and your actions ever kind. The
human heart is easily touched, and from its
hidden fountains will gush Ibrth such a stream
of gratitude and love, that you will never re
gret the effort you have made, nor forget to
thank God for the good you have been the
means of doing:,
"A little word in kindurs spoken,
A motion or a tear,
Has often soothed the heart that's broken,
And made a friend sincere."
TEE Bear.—Welcome to the parents is the
puny little struggler, strong in his weakness,
his little arms more irresistible than the sol
dier's, his lips touched with persuasion which
Chatham and Pericles in manhood had not.—
The small despot asks so little that all nature
and reason are on his side. His ignorance is
more charming than all knowledge, and his
little sins more bewitching than all virtue.—
All day between his three or four sleeps he
coos like a pigeon -house, sputters and spurs,
and puts on faces of importance; and when
he fasts, the little Pharisee fails not to sound
his trumpet before him. Opt of blocks, thread
spools, cards and checkers he will build his
pyramid with the gravity of Palladio. With
an. acoustic apparatus of whistle and rattle
he explores the lairs of sound. But chief
ly like his senior countrymen, the young
American studies new and 'speedier modes of
transportation. Mistrusting the cunning of
his small legs, hebwishes to ride on the necks
and shoulders of . 141 flesh- The small en
chanter nothing can withstand—no seniority
of age, no gravity of character; uncles, aunts,
cousins, grandsires, grand mas, —all fall an easy
prey; he conformi to nobody, all conform to
him, all caper and mike mouths, and babble
and chirrup to him. On the strongest should
ers he rides, and pulls the hair of laureled
heads.—R. W. Emerson.

very limn apprised.- Help her minister

THE DOLTOWS LAST.
When we see the doctor's last we do not
mean the length of his foot—we mean his last
joke ; nor do we mean by Itiat that it is his
joke in articulo mortis, for we hope he will
live to joke a thousand years. We simply
mean the latest or youngest of his lacetire. A
worthy Frenchman, who was very hoarse anu
troubled with a bad cough, went to Dr. Elder
some time ago to consult him upon his mala
dies. Before he went, the Frenchman, whose
knowledge of English was very imperfect,
turned to his dictionary to see how cough was
pronounced, and seeing that though was pro
nounced tho, he naturally concluded that cough
was pronounced cow. To make assurance
doubly sure, he looked and saw that the de
finition of cough was "malady in the chest,"
is sort of bronchitis."
When he arrived at Dr. Elder's, the latter
said :
Well, monsieur, what is the matter with
your
The worthy Frenchman replied:
"I have got one leetle hoarse and one bad
cow."
"You,ve got a horse and a cow," said Elder.
-Ah : I suppose you want me to buy them."
"41/on Dieu I vish I could sell 'em ; they
vii not let me sleep at de nights," said the
Frenchman.
"Why don't you lock them up in the stable ?"
Inquired the doctor.
The Frenchman was in despair.
"Ah, you no me understand," he cried
clasping his hands, "I have got ma-lady in de
box."
"Got your lady in a box—what? with the
horse and the cow ? ' asked the doctor, who
began to think monsieur was mad.
Almost frantic with bewilderment, the
Frenchman ejaculated :
sacrc ! De brown creaturesnolet me
sleep at night, - (meaning bronchitis.)
"Oh:" said the doctor, - the bugs bite you,
en ?"
Assuming a dignified air, the Frenchman
said, as he struck his breast pantomimically :
"Sara, I have got here, sare, von horse, von
bad cow, and the brown creatures, and ma,
lady in de box. I ask you, sare, to cure my
cow ! Why for you no cure my cow ?"
- Beeanse, - replied Elder—"because lam
not a cow doctor.-
•'Yes, pare, you are aw - . ; you cured my
wife's cow."
At this minute, Dr. B s, the editor of
the happening to drop in, the French
man told him in French what he wanted.—
They all had a hearty laugh at the barbarism
of the English language, which they declared
wasn't fit for a pig.

A GOOD LOVE STORY.
An Ohio paper tells the following novel
story : A young couple planned an elopement,
the girl descended from her room on the tra
ditional ladder. but at the gate they were met
by the father of the girl and a minister, by
whom the young couple were escorted to the
parlor. where, to their surprise, they found
all their relatives collected for the marriage
ceremonies. which took place at once. It
was a neat paternal freak. but not:near as
neat as that of a "fond parient - we know - of.
He heard his daughter and her fellow_ plan an
elopement. The next day the old man waited
upon the young one, and addressed him thus:
"You l- ro a fine, brave youth, and I don't ob
ject to you as a son-in-law. Here's a hundred
dollars to aid in the elopement. May you
live happily in the same house, and may no
accident occur to throw the least shade ou
the snnshine of your life. All I request is.
that yriu elope with my daughter—she's a
mighty nice girl, you know, but somehow her
mother and I could never travel smoothly
with her ; we don't know her good points—
elope with her to such a distance that she
won't return to her loving father and mother
any more. Good-bye, sonny, and may you
be happy."
"dere was an elopement that evening of
one. The young man was unaccompanied.
He thought everything couldn't be right when
the old cock was so anxious to get rid of the
girl. The lather looks upon this act as a very
neat bit of strategy for one who had never
been on 3lcCiellan's staff.
Ix Monmouth county, N. J., a few miles
from Long Branch, there is a beaMifulvtown
called Eatontown. It boasts a hotel with a
jolly good-natured, though sometimes fastid
ious landlord. At least, so thought a travel
ler, who applied there for accomtnodations
not long since. He was a gaunt six-footer,
apparently a great stranger to snap and water,
and carrying a bundle of soiled linen under
either arm. Stepping, up to the proprietor,
be inquired:
"Be you the landlord here ?"
"Well. I rather think I am," replied Boni-
face.
"Can I put up here to-night ?"
"Look here, stranger, bow old are you ?"
"Thirty-six years."
"Well, if Providence has 'put up' with such
a cussed pile of filth as you are for thirty-six
years, Tee it my duty to try and bear with
you for one night !" •
The stranger is supposed to have remained
all night, as the landlord was seen busily en
gaged early the next morning burning bed
ding and fumigating his house.
A WE6TERN WONDER.—The di9covery of
another western wonder is announced, which,
in its own line, rivals the grandeur of the
Yo Semite or the fabulously-sounding stories
of the great. oaks. Advices from Montana
state that an exploring party has just returned
from the head waters of the Yellowstone Riv
er, and the sights they saw we let them tell in
their own words :
"For eight days," says this report, which
reads like those of the renowned explorer and
traveller Sinbkid, "they travelled. through a
volcanic country, emit big. , blue flame and
living streams of brimstone. The country
was smooth and rolling, with long level plains
intervening: The. summits of those rolling
mounds were craters from four to •eight feet
in diameter, and everywhere in the levels
were smaller craters, from four to six inches
in diameter, from which streamed a blaze and
constant whistling sounds, The hollow
ground resounded beneath their teet as they
traveled and every moment seemed about to
break through. Not a living thing was seen
in the vicinity, and the-explorers gave it the
significant. name of 'fielL' "
Tau following toast was given at a printer's
supper:
"The Printer--4ndependent as a wood-aaw-.
yer's clerk, proud aitacifer, 'poor . as Job'itur 7
key, and the pgrsonification of,lntelllgence."

A half barrel.—Make a box fir this 24 inch

inches deep, has just that quantity.
A quart-4 by 4 inches square, and 4 2-10
deep.
A Barcsipr Worrn sl,ooo.—The Ohio Cul
tivator says : Take one pound of sal soda,
and a halt pound of =slacked lime—put
them in a gallon of water and boil twenty
minutes. Let it stand till cool. Then drain
off and put in a small jug or jar. Soak your
dirty clothes over night, or until they are wet
through, then wring them out and rub on
plenty of soap, and in one boiler of clothes
well covered with water, add one teacupful of
washing fluid ; boil half an hour briskly, then
wash them thoroughly through one suds,
rinse, and your old clothes will look bttter
than the old way of washing twice before
boiling. This is, an invaluable receipt, and I
want every poor tired woman, 10 try It. I
think with a patent washtub to do the little
rubbing, a washerwoman might take the old
Bible and compose herself on a lounge indict
the washing do itself.
SECCRE LE AVYIS. — The woods are now
lull of leaves. Indeed they appear to be more
abundant than ever, but farniers do notvalue
them as highly as we think they should.—
For barn-yards especially they are - profiulble
to haul in. They are obtainable too when
there is little pressing work on hand. Gather
ed up in heaps they can.be readily. loaded in
carts and wagons with close shelving's by us
ing either a cloth some two or three yards
square, or with a wooden rake and the arm.
dogs are very loud of them for litter, so are
cows ; and tor compost they are excellent.—
As oat straw is now usually fed to cattle, and
rye straw commands a high price In the mar
ket, there is nothing left for the purpose of
littering except. wheat straw. Hence forest
leaves should be held in higher estimation than
they commonly are.—Germantown Tele
graph.
PLOWING CLAY LANDS is Aura B.—lt. U.
Leonard, writing from Wyoming county, N.
Y., says :—"I believe it pays every farmer who
works clay land to plow it as much as possible
in the fall, especially that which he means to
sow to spring grain. The plowing should be
done when the land is dry, and if it.turna up
in great lumps so much the better. Plow deep
and' leave the surface rough. The frost and
rain well pulverize and lighten the soil, making
it friable and easily worked next spring.—
Deep plowing on clay land is better than
low, for the reason that such lands are geniii
ally of a rich, deep soil; the, great drawback
on their producing largely being the imperfect
pulverization given it. Only get the soil loose
enough to a good depth and you are very sure
of a good crop—ttibt is if it keeps loose while
it is growing. Draining is very necessary to
secure this, as any one can readily see. Our
clay soils are the best of all, if they ape only
rightly managed, but it takes a good deal of
capital to work them ; they must be . drained,
plowed deep, subsoiled, worked up loose and
one, so the roots can get the food they contain,
and'then they will prove the most productive
of anv."
THE QULNCZ BLIGHT—SALT.—Weare in
formed that a gentleman in this city observ
ing that his quince trees were being blighted
and dying off, restored to the use of salt as a
preventive. He dug about the roots of the
affected trees ; supplied a liberal coating of
salt to the soil and replaced that which had
been removed. The result was that the pres
ent season passed over without any appear
ance of blight while the yield of fruit was
Lunn' fioent in quantity and in quality all that
could have been desired. If the salt was the
c ause of the improvement—and such is as
sume 4 to be the fact—why may not equally
beneficial results be obtained by a correspon
ding application to the roots of pear trees?—
It will coat but little to make a trial If suc
cessful, the gain will be great, but should the
experiment result in failure the loss will be a
trifling one.. Try the salt next year . .—Rural
New Yorker.
Task PLAYriso.—ln planting trees this fall,
all should remember that it is requisite to set
the tree only just so deep as to enable it to
stand, for we can eartirto protect it from heav
ing off the winter's frost; end is soon as spring
opens and the ground is leveled down, the
roots will start and seek their appropriate
depths. If we dig a deep hole, especially in
hard clay soil, and till it with good loon and set
our tree therein, we first invite the water there
as into a cistern—and second, we cause a vig
orous growth of roots, until they reach the
undisturbed clay when a cheek is at once per
ceptible; and often an orchard stands from
five to seven years without apparently Mak
ing any progress. Remember, then, "and
plant your trees just so deep u to cover their
roots, but no more ; then earth up for a win
ter protection against frost for the first year,
and dress down again to a level in spring—
