[The following parody on the well-known
verses of Wolfe will be read with interest—less,
however, for their literary rnerlt than for their
twanging hits.]
TYPO'S TEE REPORTED BEATE OF ANDREW sotrN-
SON, EX-ALDERMAN, ETC
Not a tlruin was heard, net a martial note,
As his corzpe to the graveyard we hurried ;
No colored troops fired a farewell shot
O'er the grave where their Moses teas hurled
We burled him deeply, far out of sight,
The soil with our wet boots spurning,:
For we feared when the Ku-Klux came that
night,
They would follow our trail returning,
No Yankee coffin enclosed 1111,breast,
Nor in sheet nor In shroud we bound him;
But the dear Constitution we placed on his chest
Wrapped the star-spangled banner round Mm
Short and sweet were the prayers we said,
Mrs. Cobb was bowed down with sorrow,
As she thought of the circle swung by the dead
And wondered where he'd swing the morrow
We 1/101/gilt as we gazed on the Alderman's bed,
And Smoothed down the poor tailor's pillow,
That old Person Drownlow would dance o'er his
head,
And no one would plant there a willow.
Lightly they'd tipeak. of the spirit that's flown,
And for hundred's of pardons upbraid him;
DA little he'll care If they let him 1110710
In tLe grave where his rebel friends laid him
But half our hefty work was done
When the Whisky Ring spoke of retiring;
And we heard of a captured nine-inch gun
That poor Nasky was mournfully firing.
Slowly and sadly we lowered him down,
'Neath his "thlrty-six stars" "flog," and
"glory,"
And we each paid two bits to erect there a stone
That would tell to the country his story.
'Hymn for Decoration D.

Let us go to the graves where our dead heroes
rest,
And strew them with garlands of flower;
Let our mem'ries - with love the remembrance

As scatter these bright floral showers.
When the flag, that they honored wa, trailing, in
dust,
And rent was their nation in twain ;
When with bold, daring threats they heard trai
tors who cursed
The land for which patriots were slain.
Then, with valor and courage tie'er witnessed
before,
They gathered from North, East and West,
Determined to conquer the foe who would lower
Our proud, noble bird from his crest.
Patriotic and ardent they marched 'gninf.t. tin
foe.
And fought in humanity's cause,
Convinced of their duty, that come wrel OVeOllll.l
woe,
They must stand by their country and laws.
Through the four Weary years that the contest
was 'waged,
Their ardor scarce faltered or failed,
Through the hottest of battles that ever bad
raged
Their courage ne'er slackened nor quailed.
But many, ah! how many were called on to die
In defense of the flag which they bore; -
'And throughout the whole land how piteous the
cry•

Through the might of their valor the victory
was gained,
The dark clouds of war rolled away,
And our flag with its ensigns unsoiled and un
stained
Waves proudly above us to-day.
Let as honor the names of thefgallant and brave,
Who died for their dear country's life ;
Let us scatter sweet May-flowers over the graves
Of the heroes who fell in the strife.

" Brick " P xxxxx eroy—He Finds New
York a Hard Field How He
Bragged and Bow He Fizzled—
His Luck and His Losses—The
Bottom of " Two Hundred Thou
sand "—Truth Stranger than Fic
tion.
•' Brick" Pomeroy, better named Mark
M. Pomeroy, declares that he has met with
great "success" in his attempt to estab
lish a newspaper in New York city. 'We
are glad he feels so buoyant about what
ninety-nine men out of a hundred deetn a
wretched failure. He is now at La Crosse.
If he stays there and stops his New York
paper, he will be a wise man. If he then
makes his La Crosse paper decent —fit for a
man to take to his borne—he will not have
lived entirely in vain.
But we have started to relate the story of
"Brick" in New York—how he did—and
then how he didn't. His promises began to
be made most profusely about a year ago.
It was in the latter part of Jane that ho fully
(totem] ined upon a daily paper in New York.
.loe Howard—he of the proclamation forge
ry—was recommended to "Brick" as his
style of a man, and just the one to carry out
his plans. Joe was open to tin engagement,
having just left the very clever little paper
that he edited in Williamsburg. So the two
came together, and were mutually pleased.
"Go ahead, said Pomeroy; "make ready
for a first-class paper, and draw on me for
the funds." And Joe went "ahead" with a
vengeance. He leased spacious rooms Lin
the San buildings. Painters, carpenters
and type founders were summoned with
great rapidity, and in a short month Joe
Howard had started Brick's machine. Hp
to this point—the point of getting out the
first number of an evening paper—not far
front ten thousand dollars had been spent.
Resplendent signs shone forth from the saf
fron tinted building. The arrangements
inside the offices were very creditable to the
ingenuity of Howard, as well as ruinous to
the purse of Pomeroy. The Sun presses
did the press-work. On the first clay of
publication over thirty thousand copies of
the Demoevat were published, and all the
news boys from Dan to Bersheba (Barclay
street to Brooklyn) rushed for the new pa
per. Joe had his wet off vainly struggling
to supply the wants of the clamorous boys.
"Brick" stood in the doorway with his hands
in his pockets—pockets so soodto be fright
ened with golden ducats.. Full twenty thou
sand copies of the paper were sold that day.
All because it was a paper edited by the
great "Brick," of whom so many had heard
and so few knew. The sale began to fall off
on the socondday, simply because the paper
was not an electrical success. It was a dead
failure. Save when Howard's really-grace
ful pen shone forth itt pleasant personals
and in amusement criticisms, (lark d ullness
prevailed. Fewer and fewer papers were
sold. The weekly losses were very large.
In vain did Pomeroy feed out the funds
while Howard and his force—then includ
ing Otterson—struggled manfully with their
quills. Every now and then Pomeroy him
self would indite a paragraph asserting that
his paper paid splendidly, was a great suc
cess, and surpassed his "fondest hopes."
Meanwhile the national election came otr,
and Pomeroy resolved to enter on a grander
field and place himself at the "haul of the
Democracy." He at once made the _Demo
crat a morning paper, anti as a further evi
dence of genuine prosperity, took on the
form of the quarto sheet. The newsboys
dropped the paper at once, as they do not
and will not sell morning papers. Then
the actual sales became very much less—
reduced to even five thousand daily. The
"NO ENTERTAINMENT SO - MTEAP AS BEADING, NOR ANY TLEASUBE SO LASTING."
people of New York,Deinoerats and Repub
licans, could not bear such vituneratlons,
shameleslinuendoes and foul-mouthed lan
guage as found its way so freely into the
columns of the Democrat. "Brick" had for
once mistaken his field. New York was too
refined to smile on his style of journalism.
Gentlemen did not care to have such sheets
upon their tables—either at their homes or
At their places of business. Nor would the
reading rooms of the clubs tolerate it among
their, ilex. It is but simple truth to say
that the sheet was held in utter contempt
by almost everybody.
Pomeroy labored very hard for the Dem
ocratic party, previous to the election, and
finally lost his health thereby. For several
months be was unable to attend to his paper,
and it become little more than a dead sheet.
Upon returning to New York be ousted
Howard and others of the editors, took on
once more the folio form, and promised
great things. He again related his wonder
ful "successes," and his paper was making
money, and was increasing largely in circu
lation. Alas ! how few there were to believe
it! His prestige was gone in New York.
There were none to pay him homage. And
still he poured out his empty promises, and
bragged of what people laughed at as fool
ish. His language was not the language of
New York. His oaths, posted all over the
city to attract attention, were the disgust of
every swearing man. He had no audience.
The Democratic politicians even would not
give him credence.
After Howard was ousted from the edi
torial room of the Democrat', Pomeroy took
the helm himself, and has worked more or
less constantly ever since. But his work
was not the kind to take in New York. lie
had a Frenchman clever at "gathering"
telegraphic news. He availed himself of
all the facilities that are offered by the New
York News Association, whereby the active
local news of the city and suburbs is fur
nished at large expense. He bought a Bul
lock press at a cost of near fifteen thousand
dollars. He had men at work writing
special local sketches at considerable cost.
Ile received many special telegraphic dis
patches—bat all in vain. The paper did not
go. It supplied an 'immense amount of
reading matter for two cents, and was got
ten up every clay at great expense. Its
sales, however, ran down, and even Pome
roy's "propping up" with notices of "suc
cess" and "prosperity" did not revive it.
It was evident that Pomeroy, he who had
once had such great success, had at last run
on the rocks.
We do not know how much money Brick
has lost in New York, but xve believe it to
be over ono hundred thousand dollars, and
considerably over. Ho still hangs to his
paper—we know not why, since it is very
unpopular. The universal voice is "the
venture is a failure." Oaths and insults
will not pass current in New York. And
for one we hope the sales may continue to
diminish till the proprietor learns not to
shame an entire community with blasphe
my and nastiness.
How a Request for a "Pass , was

a request for a pass for the immortal
N.," over the Pennsylvania Central Rail
road. It shows the writer to have ability,
in addition to his efficiency as an officer,
and worthy assistant of Edward H. 'Wil
liams, one of the best railroad men in
America :
"A LTOONA, PA., August 14, IStiS.
"The Immortal J. N.,
"Dr:An Stu :--Your communication of
yesterday, applying for a pass from Phis'
burg to Philadelphia and ret urn on account
of "Truth and Reconciliation," is before mu
and has received careful consideration.
"After a thorough review or the condition
of our beloved country, of the status of the
various commonwealths of the Sunny South
which united a few short years ago in the
"little unpleasantness" against our glorious
flag, and of the present auspiciou§ aspect of
our political affairs—questions all more or
less intimately connected with your appli
cation for a pass—l am led to the conclu
sion that the great work is substantially ac
complished, that the halcyon days of peace
and prosperity are at hand and that the la
bors of yourself, Horace Greeley,-Dantet
Pratt, the great American traveler, and
other self-denying and philanthropic pa
triots, are no longer required in the cause of
pacification and reform. In corroboration
of this, I point you to the fact that but re
cently one of the Philosophers above
named, apparently convinced that his HI is
s ion on earth was accomplished, and that
nothing farther remained for him to do, at
tempted to take leave of this mortal sphere
by jumping from an East River ferry-boat.
Calmly spreading his umbrella above his
much-traveled head, and taking a last lin
gering look at the spires of that great com
mercial centre and stronghold of the un
terrified democracy, he sought to end his
eventful existence neath the 'Salt Sea
wave." Ills motive was undoubtedly sal,-
lime.
"True patriot, lir., for be It understood.
Ire left, his country for hi, eount*"s good
llis purpose, however, unhappily frus
trated. linsyin pat LI Ning deck-bands and lu
gubrious long-shore men rescued him from
the whelming tide, and he still lives-lives t
contemplate with remorse the country
whose late Democratic convention preferred
Seymour to him as its nominee for Presi
dent. He has left, to console him only the
philosophical reflection that 'republics were
ever ungrateful,' and the immortal words
of the poet,
'Twits ever thw- from childhood's how
seeo fondest hopes deea3
"Think not because I cite to you the ex
ample of the illustrious but deluded Daniel
Prittt, that I would recommend his mad at
tempt at martyrdom tin• your emulation.
No! I would say to you, 'J. N.; live to be
hold the triumph of your labors, live to see
the 'veil' finally and forever 'lifted,' the
pressure removed, and 'truth and reconcili
ation' an accomplished fact. Though this
great cause may no longer require your
burning eloquence, new fields of conquest
await you. The social material an moral
development of this great nation afford
ample scope for your persuasive powers.
Already the rails for an iron pathway
across the continent have passed the peaks
of the Rocky Mountains and arc stretching
away toward the Pacific coast. ' On either
side lie virgin fields as yet uptilled by
human hand and ready o yield their plen
tiful harvests as the reward of toil. Let me
recommend your in vestment in a few brotfd
acres and the direction of your efforts to
wards the reclamation of nature—men and
politicians having been fully reclaimed by
your previous exertions. As an agricul
turist, I doubt not you would be a great
success as you have been as at reformist and
publicist. The life would be happy and
peaceful while an agreeable variety would
be afforded by the occasional howl of the
prairie wolf or the melodious whoops of the
scalp-lifting Camanche. If, however, the
cause of moral improvement should still
force itself upon your mind, an ample field
for labor presents itself within the classic
precinLs of Salt Lake. If you are matrimo
nially inclined, you might marry a little—
say a score or two of Brigham's fairest
daughters—and devote yoarsolf to the ele
vation of the Mormon dynasty and the
population of Utah with a glorious posteri
ty of future 'J. N's.'
"But I need not suggest to- ou opportu
nities for future effort. They will undoubt
edly occur to you on every hand in that un
tried region. Go, then, and may the bless
ings of the myriads in these Eastern climes,
from whose benighted vision your labors
have lifted the veil, go with you to your
new sphere of duty. From the sunny fields
of the South shall come the cheering accla
mations of Hampton, Forrest, Beauregard,
and others, from whom the pressure has
been removed, while from tar across the.
broad Atlantic (possibly per cable,at ,$2 per
word and charges to collect) shall coin° the
parting benison of that 'solitary man of

Jerusalem—A City Beneath a City—
Pompeii and Herculaneum Re
peat ed Result. of Recent Ex-
plorsitions
The snbterranean explorations which
have been carried on at Jerusalem by Lieu
tenant Warren, on behalf of the British
association known as the Palestine Explor
ation Society, leave no doubt that the city
which was hallowed by the feet of the
Savior of mankind, and which was the
scene of the most solemn event in the his
to.r3, of the world, still exists buried beneath
the modern Jerusalem, as Pompeii and Her
culanenm lie buried beneath the lava and
ashes of Vesuyius. Lieutenant Warren
commenced his explorations in February,
IS6B, and reports of the results of his inves
tigations up to February of this year have
been published. lie has sunken twenty
four shafts in diffetent parts of the city, be
sides making excavations at the Pool of
Bethesda and at Siloam, and has driven
galleries from these shafts to the distance
of many hundred feet. Until these investi
gations had been commenced, the belief was
general that not only had the ancient Jeru
salem been razed to the ground, but that it
had been cleared away from its site so that
not even a vestige of it could be found. In
numerable explorations of the modern city
above the ground had been made; and it
Ai as supposed that all the notable propor
tions of the new city had been correctly
identified with the corresponding portions
of the ancient one. But now it seems to be
shown that the greater part of these sup
posed identifications have been based on
fallacies.
The disappearance of that old city is, in
faotr oni3-01-the7,-Ltiom-mary9lottripinggja
history. /Terg was a eltyk; famous flir its
size, magoilacence and beauty, "the joy of
the Whole earth," the history oC which, from
its foundation up to the period of its cap
ture by the Romans, was known and re
corded with unparalleled minuteness, sud
denly wiped out from the face of the earth,
with nothing lett to mark its site but gigan
tic heaps of ruins, on which, after the lapse
of centuries, a small and ugly looking town
was built. * From the destruction of Jerusa
lem by Titus down to the fourth century,
the history of the city is blank; hut, from
the latter period until now, descriptions of
it have been n Inerous and detailed. Curi
ously enough, however, no one before Lieu
tenant Warren seems to have noticed that,
while the correctness of the description
given by Joseph us of the ancient is maples-
notable, the fact that the appearance and
comparative height of the hill, and especial
ly the height of the temple wall, are so dif
ferent—the discrepancy pointed out the fact
that surface of the modern city is one hun
dred feet or more above what was the sur
face of the ancient city. Thus, Josephus
speaks of the dizzyheight from the southern
cloister of the temple to the bottom of the
Kedrou Valley. At present the height is
anything but a dizzy one ; but Lieutenant
Warren has ascertained that the wall of the
temple, from its foundation to the floor of
this cloister, was 133 feet; the cloister was
itself 90 feet high ; and the bottom of the
valley of Kedron, which is .now only 133
feet below the wall, NV as in fact '2.26 feet deep ;
so that " the dizzy height" was really 448
feet, or just about the distance of the three
hundred cubits mentioned by Joseph us.
Lieutenant Warren commenced his:oxen
! vatious at the southeast corner of the harem
! inelosure, a spot where the wall is remark
! able for the size of the stone and its height,
which is seventy feet above the present sur
face. The result of this examination was
the discovery of the true surface of the rock
on which this portion of the temple wall
stands, at a distance of sixty feet below the
present surfitee, and 133 lect below the inner
level of the platform of the harem. The
next excavation AVON at the opposite end of
the south wall ; and hero, after exposing the
Avail to the depth of frty-five feet, a pave
ment was found, consisting of stones ono
foot square, polished by the tread of feet
nearly 2,00 years ago. The workmanship
of the wall was boa boautifat, the lower course
being "rusticated," but the upper ones fin
ished on the face, with joints exquisitely
fitted, so as to 130 htr•dly visible. The "re
bating" is from four to six inches wide, and
set in black about three inches in the upper
or dressed stones, and eighteen inches in
those not dressed. This shaft was continued
still deeper, and at the depth of eighty-five
feet a gallery was found running north and
south, which was explored to a distance of
3SO feet. By another excavation a series of
vaults was found under those which have
been known as the "stables of Solomon."
The masonry of the passage leading to these
vaults "is of the first order of megalihic
masonry, with stones upwards of fifteen
feet in length, beautifully worked, and with
the characteristic rebating." The roof is of
large stones, rebated and laid flat. The
discoveries made by other excavations are
equally important and decisive, and they
show, beyond all cavil, that the old demise
lent'stilL exists beneath the modern town.

The time will come when children will
not desire to be continually under the par
ent's roof. Let them out—in the day-time.
Children should never be in the streets in
the dark. Older persons than children can
not bear that very well. But in the day
time swell the bounds as far as practical.
Err in that direction rather than in the
other. Over-restraint upon an impetuous
nature is demoralizing. But, having let
them out, draw them back again,by making
the house pleasanter than any other place.
Social enjoyment ; innocent games; amuse
ments in which, if possible, parents and
children shall both participate; the re
sources of art, and of science, and of music
and dancing—and anybody that will not let
child dance in the household ought him
self to be set dancing to another tune!—
these things ought to be encouraged. What
ever will make the child say, "nowhere
else tun I so happy as at home," whatever
will build it ap amply, furnishing it with
the material of a joyous life—that honors
and dignifies the house.
Therefore it is that pleasures sought away
from home should be Inkt•n, as sweetmeats
are, not as food, but as occasional mouth
fuls. And in all pleasures taken away from
home, selection should be made, and those
should be preferred which take the family,
and not those which separate the funnily.
If it is right for' your child to go to the
theater, it is right for father and mother to
go with him. If it is right for the daughter
to go with her beau to the opera, it is right
for the family to go. It is better to go in a
party, as a family, than for one toga alone.
It is solitary drinking that curses men. Ti
is solitary vice that blights men. It is
solitary pleasures that demoralize men. It
is solitary enjoyment out of the family that
corrupts the household. And if you are not
at home provided with all that is needful,
and you go forth for entertainment nand in
struction, seek those things to which the
whole or a major part of the fit mily can go.
Separate not the children from the parents,
nor the children one from another.—henry

he belonged to a " despised class," yet, not

that he was a son of Fred Douglass—a man
who was held in bondage on account of the

consequence of the exclusive act ion of the

There is Mal must he a general scarcity
of currency throughout the country, be
cauk, that article is so superabundant. This
statement is doubtless a paradox to the en
reflecting; nevertheless nothing is more
certain. The history of this country for the
last fifty years shows that money has al
ways been most scarce, and the rates of in
terest most advanced, when there was the
largest absolute amount in circulation. The
reason Ibr this is obvious. As a currency
is expanded, speculation is excited, prices
are greatly raised, and it takes a much
larger amount of money to transfer an equal
1 amount of merchandise, while the opera
tions of those who are engaged in influenc
ing and controlling the immense amount of
transferable property of all kinds held for
speculative purposes absorb all the sur
plus,and leave the money market in a strin
gent condition.
, Money, we must recollect, is scarce not in
1 proportion to its actual quantity, but to the
relative demand for it. When, therefore,in
addition to the natural wants of trade, the
speculative interest comes into market, the
extraordinary demand is certain to create a
pressure; so that, practically, it has always
been true, as it is now true, that an expand
ed currency will be most scarce when it is
most abundant ; that collections will be
most unsatisfactory, when the circulation is
largest ; and that the rates of interest will
be highest when the loans of the banks are
most extended.
This important lessen the people must
learn ; and if they would have money
plenty and cheap, they must insist that the
amount shall be reduced to its natural
limit—to that point where it is at par with
specie. They cannot have an easy and re
liable money market until that which
is called money is truly so; and we
incur no risk in predicting that a satisfac
tory state of trade will not arrive until the
currency of the nation is equivalent in value
to the currency of commerce.
In looking forward for the remainder of
the current year, wo do not anticipate a gen
eral panic or breaking down of the national
industry, because the currency is now a
fixed quantity, and cannot be as in the
case of a mixed en rreney it must be) sud
denly withdrawn from circulation when
ever there is a pressure on the bunks for the
redemption or their notes; but we do not
expect that trade, manufacturing, and bus
iness generally will be depressed, that
profits will be small, expenses large, rents
and rates or interest high. and loses front
delinquent debtors heavy; while in the
large centres of trade, especially in the
largest, "th e spasms" of the money .market
will be frequent and violent.—Front the

Is it hot strange, after all the Bible says
of woman and women, ladies should be
preferred by many of her sex ? "She shall
be called woman," is the very first intima
tion that we have of her name. We read
of the gentle, loving Ruth, the queenly
Esther, and Elizabeth, the mother of John,
all as women, and she who was the most
exalted of all, •Mary, the mother of
Jeans. If It a ly had been 'a superior title,
or, tiinnetAi,tig - equivalent to it, .it surely
would have been conferred itipim'her; True, ,
she was poor, the wife of a carpenter, her
babe was born in a manger, yet the angels
rejoiced, and the morning stars sang to
gether, as she (a woman) hold the child in
her arms. Who bathed the Savior's feet
with her tears, and lollowed him to the
cross and tomb, and received the first bless

and compassionate, the very name seems
to breathe of love and adoration.
U. S. GRANT
In all ages noble, heroic women were the
mothers of true, brave men. Our grand
mothers and great-grandmothers were all
women; they loved their husbands, taught
their children and made home happy; their
sons grew up and called them blessed. The
words, woman, mother and house, form tho
golden links that keep society together;
there seems a comfort in each word, but the
word lady brings to our mind's eye sickly
children, little graves• a disorderly house
and a bankrupt husband. It is this love of
show that is ruining the American people;
we want women, good and true, to preside
over the homes of their husbands and child
ren, to fill the places that God intended them
to till, directing the minds of sons and
daughters to future usefulness for them
selves and fellow creatures. The perpetuity
and greatness of nations depend on the high
moral culture of the women.
A Live Man La a Dead 3lan'm
The latest attempt of a convict to escape
froin prison occurred at the Joliet Pen
itentiary one day during last week. On the
evening previous a colored convict had died
and his dead body was placed in a rough cof
fin for burial. On Tusday morning, when
the remains were about to be convoyed to
the brying-ground, which is a short dis
, lance from the premises, one of the officers
perceived a slight movement ()icily coffin lid,
which had not yet been screwed down.
The lid being raised lo and behold, instead
of a dead black man a live white convict
was Imind lying in the coffin. lie was hus
tled oat SUM marily and required to give an
explanation. It appears that early in the
morning, while the oilier con victs were at
breakfast, he smuggled hi niself into the
room where the coffin ss as, removed the
corpse of the colored Mall, dep,, , ited it in
an empty barrel, and got into the coffin
expecting that ho would be carried
outside the walls, and before reaching the
burying ground jump out and escape.
almost smothered, he raised the lid
slightly to get a breath of air, anti was thus
discovered in time to spoil his "little game."
If he had remained quiet a minute or two
longer, the lid would have been screwed
down, and he would probably have been
smothered to death.

How to Keep Milk for Butter.
h. P.reckinridge asks the best way to
keep milk so as to get the most and best
butter from it. Dr. Trimble said that in the
famous butter regions of Chester county,
Pennsylvania, milk is kept in spring
houses and in vaults. As good butter is
made from milk kept in the vaults as from
that kept in the spring-houses. The vaults
are so constructed as to keep the milk at a
temperature of fifty-five degrees and secure
ventilation. The spring -houses, some of
which are very fine indeed, are constructed
on the surface of the ground, and have ad
vantage over the vaults of convenience in
the handling of the milk. But where
springs are not at hand, vaults may be con
structed and butter made profitably. One
man whom we visited, with twenty-five
acres of land, a family of six,and four cows,
sold,besides the milk,cream and butter used
in the tinnily, live hundred dollars worth
butter and calves from these four cows. He
kept his milk in a vault. But the secret of
his success was largely due to his manner
of feeding. His cows were turned into a
tine clover field in the morning, where they
tilled themselves ; thence they were turned
into a pasture with rut entirely different
kind of grass, where they fed with renewed
appetites, and thence into another pasture
with a different feed—the aim being to in
duce the animals to eat all they would,
since the dairyman had found that the more
the cow will eat the more milk she furnish
es. In the fall, as the feed in the pastures
begins to diminish, a little—at first—lndian
meal is fed daily, gradually increasing the
9 nantity to suit circumstances.

For the last two it is, perhaps, the best of
manures. It contains more potash than
any other animal manure; hence, :19 potash
is the grand constituent of a strawberry, it
is also excellent for that delicious fruit. In

on; and place a basket over :mother tub,
and dip out the wheat to drain, Then put
in a box and turn in dry ashes; stir so that
the ashes will touch every kernel; then put
in plaster to make it sufficiently dry to sow.
