The robin repeats his two beautiful words. The meadow-lark whistles his one refrain; And steadily, over and over again. The same song swells from a hundred birds. Bobolink, eliiekadee. blackbird and jay. Thrasher and woodpecker, cuckoo and wren, Each sings its word, or its phrase, and tiieu It has nothing further to sing or say. Into that word, or that sweet little phrase, All there may be of its life may crowd; And low and liquid, or hoarse and loud, It breathes its burden of joy and praise. A little child sits in his father's door, i Chatting and singing with careless tongue; A thousand musical words are sung, i And he holds unuttered a thousand more. | Words measure power; and they measure thine; Greater art thou in thy childhood's years Than all the birds of a hundred spheres ; j They are brutes only, but thou art divine. L Words measure destiny. Power to declare i Infinite ranges of passion and thought— * j Holds with the infinite only its lot, — j Is of eternity only the heir. Words measure life, and they measure its joy; Thou hast more joy in thy childish years Than the birds of a hundred tuneful spheres, So—sing with the beautiful birds, my boy ! Springfield Maes.

Sleep! baby, sleep! The nodding lilies by the stream With folded petals sweetly dream; The sleepy daisies ia the grass Are winking as the night winds pass. Sleep! baby, sleep! Now drop the fringed and dainty lid O'er -sweetest eyes' that e'er were hid, And leave your darling baby wiles, For angel whispers, dreamy smiles. # Sleep! baby, sleep! TALES & SKETCHES J TAKEN PRISONER. 'No rent again this month! This is the third time it has happened within the half I year I'll go there myself and get the j | money, or l'il know the reason why !' Mr. Mathew Dean was in a particular had hutnor this raw December morning. I Everything had gone wrong. Stocks had j fallen when they ought to have risen—his clerk had tipped over the inkstand on his special and peculiar heao of paper—the j tire obstinately refused to burn in the grate I ! —in short nothing went right, and Mr Dean was consequently and corresponding ; j iy cross. 'Jenkins !' ! 'Yes, sir!' 'Go to Widow CI irksnn's and tell j her that I shall he there in half an hour, j and expect continently—mind. Jenkins,con j i fidentiy to receive that rent money Or I else shall teel myself obliged to resort t> j extreme measures. You understand Jen kins?' 'Certainly, sir ' 'Then don't stand there staring like an idiot,' snarled Mr. Dean in a sudden burst j of irritation, and Jenkins disappeared like ! a shot. Just half an hour afterward Mr. Mathew | Dean brushed the blown hair just sprink led with grey away from his square yet ! not unkindly brow, nutting on his fur lined j overcoat, he walked forth into the chilly winter air fully determined, figuratively, to annihilate the defaulting Widow Clark j son It was a dwarfish little red brick house which appeared originally to have aspired to two story hood, but cramped by circum stances, had settled down in a story and a half, but the windows shone like Brazil ian pebbles, and door steps were worn by much scouring. Neither of these circuui- | stances, however, did Mr. Dean remark, jas he pulled the glittering brass door- ; j knob, and strode into Mrs Clarkson's neat ■ ! parlor. I '1 here was a small fire—very small, as if ; I every lump of anthracite wis hoarded in the stove; at a table with writing imple- j ments before her, sat a young lady whom | Mr. Dean at once recognized as Mrs. Clark son's neice, Miss Olive Mellen. She was not disagreeable to look upon, though you would never have thought of classing her among the beauties with shining black hair blue, long lashed eyes and a pretty mouth, hiding teeth like rich kernels, so white were they. Miss Mellin rose with a polite nod, which was grimly reciprocated by Mr. Dean. 'l've called to see your aunt, Miss Mel len!' 4 I know it sir, hut aware of her i timid temperament, I sent her away. I prefer to deal with you myself.' | Mr. Dean started—the cool audacity of this damsei in grey, with scarlet ribbons in her hair, rather astonished him. 'I suppose the money is ready?' 'No sir it is not' 'Then Miss Olive—pardon me, I must speak plainly—l shall send an officer hero WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1864. this afternoon to put a valuation on the furniture, and"— 'You will do nothing of the kind, sir.' Olive's cheek had reddened and her eyes flashed portentiously. Mr. Dean turned toward the door, but ere he knew what he was doing, Olive had walked quietly across the room, locked the door and taken out the key—then she resumed her seat. 'What does litis mean? ejaculated the astonished 'prisoner of w .r.' 'lt means sir, that you will be obliged to reconsider the question,' said Olive. 'Obliged?' 'Yes—you will hardly jump out of the window anu there is no other method of egress unless y u choose to go up the chim ney. Now then, Mr Dean, will you tell nie if you—a christian man in the nine teenth century —intend to sell a poor wo man's furniture, because she is not able to pay your rent? Listen, sir!' Mr. Dean had opened his mouth to re monstrate, but Olive enforced her words with a very emphatic little stamp of the foot aud he was as it were stricken dumb. 'You are, what the world calls a rich man, Mr. Dean You own rows of houses piles of bank stock, railroad shares, bonds j and mortgages —who knows what? My aunt hus nothing—l support her hy copying, j Now, if this case be carried into a court ot law, my poor aunt will he a sufferer, you would emerge unsceathed and profited. You are not a bad man, Mr Dean; you have a great many noble qualities, and I like you tor them.' She paused an instant and looked intent- | ly and gravely at Mr. Dean. The color rose to his cheek—it was not disagreeable to be told by a pretty young girl that she liked him on any terms, yet she had indulg ed in pretty plain speaking. 'I have heard,' she went on, 'of your doing kind actions when you were in the ! humor o! it. Y< u can do them, and you shall in this instance. You are cross this morning, you know you are! Hush, no excusi, you are selfish and irratible and overhearing! If I were your mother and , you were a little boy, I should certainly put you in a corner until you promised to j be good.' Mr. Dean smiled although he was get ting angry Olive went on witb the utmost composure. 'But as it is, I shall only keep you here a prisoner until you I ave behaved and gave me your word not to annoy my aunt again for rent, until she is able to pay you, then, and got unlii then, will you receive your money. Do you promise? yes or no !' •1 shall certainly agree to no such terms.' said Mr. Dean tartly 'Very well, sir I can wait.' Miss Mellon deposited the key in the : pocket of her grey dress, and sat down to her Copying. 11-id >iie been a man Mr. Dean, would probably have knocked her down—as it was she wore an invisible ar 1 tnor of power in the very fact that she > was a fragile, slight woman, and she kuevv i it. 'Miss Olive,' he said sternly, 'let us terminate this mumery. Unlock that door.' 'Mr. Dean, I will not •I shall shout and alarm the neighborhood then call a policeman.' > 'Very well, Mr Dean, do so if you {dease.' She dijaped her pen in the ink and began on a Iresh page. Mathew sat down puz zled and discomfitted, and watched the long lashed eyes and faintly tinted cheek of his ■ keeper. iShe was very pretty —what a pity , she was so obstinate. 'Mis# Olive!' 'Sir.' 'The clock has just stuck twelve.' '1 heard it.' 'I should like to get out to get some lunch.' 'I am scrry that that luxury is out of your power' 'But I am confounded hungry.' 'Are you.' 'And I ui not going to stand this sort of thing anv longer.' •No.' " How provokingly nonchalant she was. Mr. Dean eyed the pocket of the grey dress greedily, and walked up and down the room pettishly. 'I have an appointment at one.' 'lndeed, what a pity, you will be unable to keep it.' lie 'ook another turn across the room. Olive looked up with a smile. 'Well are you ready to promise?' 'Hang it, yes, what else can I do?' 'You promise.' 'I do because I can't help myself.' Olive drew the key from her pocket with softened eyes, and said : 'You have made me very happy, Mr. Dean. I dare say you think me unwoman ly and unfeminine, but indeed you do not kn >w to what extremities we are driven by poverty. Good morning, sir.' Mr. Dean sallied forth with a curious complication of thoughts and emotions strug gling through his brain, in which grey dresses, long lashes, blue eyes and scarlet ribbons play a prominent part. 'Did you get the money, sir?' asked the clerk, when he walked into the office. 'I pity her husband,' he thought, as he turned papers over on his desk. 'How she will hen peck him. By the way, I wonder who her husband will be?' The next day he called on the Widow Clarkson to assure Miss ilellen that he had no idea ot breaking his promise, and the next one after that, he came to tell the young lady she need entertain no doubts of his integrity. And the next week he drop ped in on them with no particular errand to serve as an excuse. '\Y lien Mull we >e mirrieJ, Olive? Next month, dearest? D< n>t let us put it oft later ' •I luve n i wishes but vours Mathew?' 'Keally, Miss Olive MeUen, to hear that meek tone, one wou. ! .suppo-e v-i h e er locked me up here, and r.yranized over me as a jailor !' Oiive hurst into a merry laugh 'You dear old Ma; hew, I give you warn ing before hand that I mean to have my own way in everything. Do you wish to recede from your bargain? It is not too late yet.' No, Mathew Dean didn't; he had a vague idea that it would be very pleasant to be hen pecked by Oiive. MORAL MEULIOUS Firmament. Let us cast our eyes up to the firmament, I where the rich handiwork of God presents itself to our sight, and ask ourselves some j such questions as these: \\ hat power built over our heads this vast magnificient arch, and spread out the heavens like a curtain ? Who garnished these heavens with such a variety of shin ! ing objects, a thousand and ten thousand tiiLes ten thousand different stars, new suns, new moons, new worlds, in compari son with which this earth of ours is but a all regi lar in their motion, and swimming in their liquid ether? Who painted the eioifds witb such a variety of colors, and in such a diversity of shades and figures as is not in the power ot the finest pencil to emulate? Who ioruted the sun of such a determinate size, and placed it at such a convenient distance, as not to annoy, but only to refresh us, and j nourish the ground with its kindly warmth ? j If it were larger, it would set the earth 011 j tire; ii less, it would leave it frozen ; if it were under us, we should be scorched to death ; it further from us we should not be. j able to iive lor the want of heat. Who j then hath made it so commodious a taber nacle, (I speak with the Scriptures and ac cordingly to the common notion,) out of which it cometh lorth every morning, like j a bridegroom out of his chamber, and re | joieeth like a giant to run its course ? For ' so many ages past it never failed rising at ; its appointed time, nor once missed send i ing out the dawn to proclaim its approach j But*at whose voice does it arise, and by I whose hand is il directed in its diurnal j and annual course; give to us the blessed ' vicissitudes of day and night, and the leg ! ular successions of different seasons ? That it. should always proceed in the ' same straight path, and never once he known to step aside; that it should turn at a certain determinate point, and not go l forward in a space where there is nothing to obstruct it; that it should traverse the j same path back again, in the same constant j at d regular pace, to tiring on the seasons j by gradual advances; that the moon should supply the office of the sun, at set times : to illuminate the air. and give a vicarious ! light when its brother is gone to carry the j day into another hemisphere; that it should I procure or at least the fluxes or refluxes of the sea, whereby the water is kept in constant motion, and so preserved ; lroin putrefaction, and accommodated to '■ man's manifold conveniences, besides the business ot fishing and the use of naviga tion —in a word, that the restof the planets, and all the innumerable host of heavenly bodies, should perform their course and revolutions with so much certainty and ex actness as never to fail, but for almost these six thousand years, come constantly 1 to the same period, in Ihe hundreth part of a minute—is a clear and incontestibie proof of a Divine Architect, and of that counsel and wisdom wheiewith He rules I and directs the universe. AGRI'LL LTLHAL, Cutting; Noxious Weeds. ! The very best time in ail the seasons to cut noxious weeds—the time when it will injure them most —is when the patiicles, I heads, or buds, begin to lorm. If tory j weeds, horse dock and Canada thistles be mowed close at that stage of their growth, it will hurt them so severely that they will not recover until late in the summer. And. if they be cut again as soon as they form seed bud*, they will be feeble and will not prick much the next season. Bull thistles, which occupy a large share of the ground in pastures, should be cut j off with sharp, broad hoes, about two inches below the surface of the soil Then the water will fill he depression made with ! the hoe, and soak into the roots and destroy them. i If tbey are mowed off, they will continue to grow, and go to seed. They will fl jur is 1 !, it is true only this year, as they are biennials. But the object is to prevent their seeding, and to raise good grass where -I they would grow. Call out all hands—boys and girls too — on a wet day, and they may all be cut in a few hours. Let horsedock be served in the same manner in pasture fields. When it gn ws among grain let it be pulled and placed iu large heaps. Full wild mustard and winter cress out of oats and other grain. Hop Growing iu Kansas. Kansas is promising production. The - - ly fights and raids which accompanied it- beginning now give way t peaceful agriculture, and since it is established that slave labor shall not be permitted there, it is being proved what free labor can do. it has been discovered that oops are an indigenous product of the State; that they grow wild, and need nothing but gathering. The quantity and quality are both improv ed by culture, but without either there is a very considerable yield. A Mr. Spona ble, who was raised among the abundant hop plantations of New York, writes that he 'has seen more hops grow wild in this (Johnson county) part of Kansas than I ever saw in the State of New York. They are larger, and when u*ed side by side with hops sent from New York, I find the wild variety the best. I gathered a bushel by the roadside last lull in fifteen minutes, and they were large. Land ean be bought here for from 82.50 to 810 per acre, all covered with hops. We have a home market, and might supply the ea.-t No person here tluuks of the hop business. Men might make ten or more dollars per day, through September and October picking hops, with out one cent of capital, as the land lies iu commons, in tr-.cts of many thousands acres Hop culture has grown to such import a tee in this county and Europe that the profits of cultivation, where the native ca pacity is so great, must be very important. The increasing demand has stimulated pro duction in regions where tbeyiisadvantages are many, and where the whole crow is sometimes lost. If, thro igh any consider hie portion of Kansas, what is reported true of Johnson county is also true, the settlers there have n utiue of wealth at their command, not less certain than would be a mine oi gold. In Europe ii*'* vii c ys of the finest rivers are appropriated to this agriculture. The same demand will be tound in America, und as great a profit can be realized, since our domestic consuuip ion is large, and at low {trices we may ex port to all the shores of the Atlantic. MISEELLAMOiJI, Fretfulness. Fretfulness is a great lender of mis ery. It begins its loans to very young borrowers; and there is great danger that if its debtors draw on it early they will become sad spendthrifts of misery, and scarcely ever he able to free themselves from the clutches of their hard task and creditor. There is nothing more successful in making people unnecessarily miserable than a fretful, discontented spirit. . It works ill in two ways; it causes its victims to think bally of themselves, and (what is worse) to think badly of other peo ple, too. Fretfulness and peevishness are very much under our own control. Men can choose to what extent they will permit circumstances to have in fluence over them, and the character of that influence. An eccentric per son, of the Johnsonian school, has made a sort ot a fable on this subject. He maintains that all kinds of weath j er may be made charming to a man if I he so will; that if he will go out in tho ; rain, without any defence, and pre tend to know nothing about the show -1 ers, the rain will cease for him, each ! drop exclaiming: 'lt is no use raining i upon that man, he does not mind it' ! There is a moral to that fable; and we may be sure that if, instead of allow ing every slight incident in personal, social or family life to ruffle our tem pers and make us wretched, we were : determined to regard fewer of them, the wear and tear ot life would be much less, and days and hours would pass more pleasantly. In every house every day there are trivial circumstan ces which, if dwelt upon, will cause i trouble for a long time, but which are so small that they should never be no ticed. Said Cervantes, 'Hast thou a mind to quarrel with thy w fe? Bid her bring water to thee in tho sun shine: a very fair quarrel may be about motes in the clearest water.' Yes; 1 great misery—all borrowed, none of it necessary—is brought to families by tho fretful, captious, querrulous scold i ings that occur every day ; by the ri diculous, persecuting, vexing, vixenish notice taken of paltry things at home. Fathers and mothers! brothers and sisters! if our homes are to be happy, joyous places, hunt out mere fretful ness, and make the love borne by one to the other as considerate to mutual happiness as is the courtesy that is paid by and to strangers.

It is nothing less than a woman with horns grow ing out of her head ! She has one large horn on the side of 1 er head of the size and consistency ol an ordinary rant's horn, be sides three or four cornicles on other parts of her head. The writer states that he has seen her, and that she has been visit ed by nearly all the Consuls and Euro peans in that place, some of whom are making an effort to secure her for an ex hibition. * Out Door Etiquette. —A gentleman m eiing a lady should alwsys take the light of the walk. A g"M?!entan meeting another should al ways pass to the ht. A lady, as a general rule, should not take a treutleman's arm in the day time. However, it is not improper when the walk is thronged with passengers. A gentleman meeting or passing a gen tleman and lady should pass on the gentle man's side. A gentleman should never fail to salute a lady of his acquaintance when withiu a proper distance; uuiess she wears a veil, in which case it would he highly uncivil to recognize her. A Smart Woman —A preacher not long since asking to stay at night at a country house was forbidden by the lady. Knowing her to he a member of the church and generally pleased to entertain minis ters, he began to quote Paul to her, hoping that she would understand by this that he was a preacher. He hardly got out, 'for thereby some have entertained angels un awares ' when she said : '1 know sir, hut angels would not come with quids of tobacco stuck into their mouths.' The preacher left without any further ceremony !
