TEE MIIITREL
WORDS.
BY J. O. HOLLAND.
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 !

SONGS FOR OUR BABY.
NIGHT.
I
The little sparrows have their nest,
God gives the pretty creatures rest ;
He watches o'er the smallest thing
That nightly folds its weary wing.
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

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.

'You dear old Ma; hew, I give you warn

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.

coat sleeve upon a two inch horizontal
shaft, and alter being carried around the
shaft fifteen or twenty times with tearful
velocity, was thrown into the inside of a
large breast wheel, where he was left
in perfect state of nudity. Strange as
it may appear hardly a scratch could be
found upon him. though he fainted, hav

A Homed Woman. —The New York
Observer, ol the 12th instant, contains a
letter from its correspondent at Larnaca,
io the island of Cyprus (Turkish domin
ions), describing a most rematkable lusus

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

making an effort to secure her for an ex
hibition. *
Out Door Etiquette. —A gentleman

light of the walk.
A g"M?!entan meeting another should al

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

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 !
