BURIAL' OF THE PAST.
'Twee the night before the wedding
And the house was Riled with veal,
After all the pleasant greetings
Quietly-the household rests.
Only one from out the many
Still is sitting by the are—
the bride, who on the morrow.
Wllf hare left her home and sire.
With her hair unbound and falling,
Like a mantle to the floor,
Theri she sits among her treasures,
For the last time she looks them o'er.
One by one. she reads each letter,
Then consigns It to the name ;
Prom its case she takes a picture,
And her white lips close In pain
For the face Sullies out upon her
As of oiddt Used to do;
Ere that bitter night of parting,
When each spoke what was not true,.
freMbling Angers slowly clasp tt,
Drop it on the embers red ;
e'er again will she ill:told
For that face to her Is dead.
There are violets in the casket
And a lock of 'sort, dark hair;
! There are books a•_d little trinkets
- And the ring she used to wear.'
Tn the firelight, while therm liciflang,
Is't a fancy or a dream,
That again she sees the river.
And the old familiar scene,
Where ro often they bad rambled
In the autumn afternoon;
Vtitere on summer nights they floated
'llld the ItHes, 'Death the noon
On the hen,llll the hex Afro emptied,
In the gtate the fire buria.lovr,
And the girl stands white strintlent.,
As the last faint entbersgiow.
Streaks of gray are Mewl/ creeping
Crer the portals of the moon ;
Ilath the night the old life paSses—
..
- Dawning brlngs k her hopes new-born.

ARE TOMATOES CANCEROUS?
Our correspondent at Ashland. records
the death of Auntie CONHIGIN,• of East
Smithfield, Pa., to the following unpleas
anteffect. The 'supposition that tomatoes
are the cause of cancprs is held by many
people, but we think wrongfully. How
over, the accompanying resemblances are
doubtless correct, although incidental.
Our correspondent says :
"We are shocked to learn of the
horrible death of old Auntie CONK
LIN, of East Smithfield, Pa., who was
-well known and respected in this vicinity.
She has been 'suffering some time from
the ravages of a cancer on her face, and
it had progressed to such a state that she
breathed through an aperture which it
made behind her car. Her friends have
given her the best of care, anti attended
to every want, until death claimed her as
his follower. But she now rests, 'Asleep
in JESUS, peaceful sleep.' Several friends
~. _„who have been to see her, say they will
never eat another tomato, as the fabric
of the cancer represented a tomato in ev
ery line and lineament, not even the seeds
excepted. We understand she was a great
lover of said fruit. if there is any
thing the medical report of tomatoes
producing
_cancers, why has there not
been more attention paid to it? We
should be pleased to read somebody's
opinion in the columns of this 'paper."-
-Eitqrci 'Advertiser.
WOLVES are prowling about in the for
eats of Bradford County.— Willicinutpor
Banner.
—Wrong, neighbor. There is no such
small game as wol'Ves prowling about the
- forests of this. county. = But the woods
arqust full of lions, tigersi, hyenas, and
leopards. It is fro unusual thing for oae
of our sportsmen to bag alialf dozen tigers
or seven or eight lions in a half day's
hunt. 'Twas only a few days ago that
we met one- of them returning from a
day's reereation with a string of fourteen
hyenas, eight lions and four leopards, and
it was not a good day either, as it was
too windy for close Wing shooting. But
come up and we'll take you out for, a few
Lours' sport in the Wysox Pine Plains,
near the Fair Grounds, where it is rumor
ed a large flock of hippopotami and black
- rhinoceros are at present filling the tree
tops and building their nests. About six
1 weeks fMrt,now will be the best time to
come, as the young birds will be then just
right to broil, and there isn't a more rel
ishable dish known to epicures than a nice
, ly done broiled younghippopotami or rhi
noceros. Although it requires great care
on the part of the cook, as they are very
tender skinned, and if it becomes broken
in the process of cooking a large amount
of the flavor is lost from the meat, But
come up, and bring a double-barrelled
.crass-gun. It's the best weapon for this
kind of sport.
MARKING TILE BATTLE-FlELD.—Repre
sentative BINGHAM. of Philadelphia, has

With or without Low Closet, Reservoir, or Ornamental Elevated Shelf.
• •
The Greatest Combination of Valuable improvements Ever Presented
• •
In one Range.
After the flattering experience of the past year, having had a very large and extended sale, we
find that the Tux Ranson Corrado Is tint ersally conceded to 'be the most desirable Range of Its
class in the market, Its general features the same as in the celebrated Ransom Range. which has
for years been considered the finest Range e. It contains the Patent Ertgalialem Itrolltletg
Chamber, which is universally acknowled to be the only successful and practical braille( attach
ment in use. It Is also furnished with 11 gels's 'Patent fluplex Grate. This celebrated
Orate Is extremely simple In its construction. It has now been in active use far more than live years,
sad In view of the universally successful ex Hence of Its operation and durability during that time,
as well as the highly satisfactory results obtal ed by us Inoue own thorough trial of its qualities, we have
no hesitation In pronouncing It the only co pieta and successful arrangement for removing clinkers
sad refuse from the firebox instantaneously, °numbly and cleanly, while the degree of combustion
obtained has never, In bur opinion, been equ d with any other style of grate.
Tux RANSOM COTTAOII Is a. thoroughly first-class Range in all lie portions and appointments,
while the price fa extremely low. It Is so onstructed that it can be changed from a Low Closet to a
Single Oval Range, by merely lifting the u r part of the Range from the Low Closet and placing it
upon a set of Ornamented legs. All sizes also be furnished with the Ornamental Elevated Shelf.
The large Baled Ash Pan is taken out at th end of the Range instead of the front—a lunch more eon.
veulent and clean! arrangement—and the tattoos Warming Closet extends underneath the whole
Range. The Hot Water Reservoir is heated !direly from the bottom, and Is of a larger capacity than
will be found on any other Range of this cl . All the minor details in the bonstractioa of this
Range have received the closest attention. I has highly burnished epds, nlekle.plated knobs of a new'
and beautiful pattern, nickle.plated panels, ckle.pLsted Towel Racks, and the mountings/A fittings

TOBACCO CULTURE.
Hew our . Growers Raise the Weed—
Tobaeeis From the acted Red to the
Warehouse—A Praetteal Essay.
The enormous proportions attain
ed by the tobacco crop of Litricaster
county, its rapidly increasing impor
tance, the vast wealth it is pouring
into the pockets of our farmers, and
the large profits it returns to the
growers, have drawn the attention of
all persons interested in the trade,
either as consumers or planters.
• In response to a request, we pub
lish below the subjoined directions,
intended to aid beginners in growing .
tobacco. They Will be found suffi
ciently minute for all pr i actical pur
poses, and if stricttgard is paid to
the methods here ladown, the re
sult will, no dOubt, r be found satisfac
tory. Mr. Frantz is- one of our
most experienced and intelligent
growers, and speaks from many years
of actual experiende. - His methods,
as here flail
,down, - embrace the
practice of our most successful plant- i
era, and when strictly adhered to,
will no doubt give as good 'results
elsewhere as they have done here, 1
soil and climate being favorable. ,
Experience, ' however, is the great'
teacher; careful instructions will go
far, but they must be supplimented
by actual experiment growing, : fine
tobacco is not to be learned in a single
season, but the knowledge 'gained 1
one season must be increased during
subsequent ones; in fact the tobacco
planter is never done learning, but
every succeeding year contributes its
quota to his• already acquired store I
of information. - 1
How to Raise Tobacco.
The culture of tobacco has assum
ed such Proportions as to make it'
one 'of, inot the mostlAmportant
crop, in monetary point of view,
in Lances r county. It has grown
fie
from time, to time, in average; as well
as in , quality, until it has attained a
reputation in -the markets of -the
.countriexcelled only by that grown
in the West Indies and a few other
favored localities. •
This ishe result of that care in its
management 'through its various
stages 'which has of late yearn been
practiLAiand studied by the more
carefulgrowers.
With the view of guiding others,
not familiar with process„ I' will en
deavor-to give a brief outline of the
manner of treating through the various
stages, from the seed to its preparation
for may Ct.
The Plant Bed.
2 4-
In th ,first place, the successful
-,-, r I
grower Must raise his own plants,
1
and this is by no means - the least
difficult part' of the work. As the
seed is t small, and - the young plant
tender, it requires attention corres
ponding with these conditions. The
prime requisite is a piece of ground,
of rich soil, and protected from cold
winds. This should be prepared in
the fall, by spading and manuring,
and about April 1, sow 'seed at the
rate of a tablespoonfill, to one. hun
dred square yards. Having previous
ly pulverized the soil thoroughly, then
rake it gently,', and pat the surface
with back of a spade to bring the
seeds in close contact with the ground.
Mixing the seed with, say a peck of
wood ashes, facilitate the sowing of
the mixture with regularity.
How to Grow Strong Plants.
A covering of the bed with hog
bristles bas a wonderful influence in
promoting the development of the
plant. The bristles may be removed,
after the plants hay attained a growth ,
of three or four leaves, and preserved
for future use, a rake being the best
Means of removal. Frequent sprink
ling is, indispensable, as moisture is
an active promoter of all vegetable'
growth. 4 solution of some active
fertilizer applied in liquid form is of
great benefit. By careful attention
to your plant bed, thorough weeding
included, they , will be ready for
transplanting during the latter half
of May in this latitude. Fiom this
, to say June 5, plant whenever ground
and weather are favorable . ; ' the same
conditions that favor the growth of a
cabbage plant will do the same' for
tobacco, and all farmers should know
how to start cabbage.
I have dealt with this par,t some-,
what tediously, but 'none too much
for the interests of the <Trowcros his
experience will testify . to abundantly.
Good plant's ready in time are half
the prospect of a crop attained, and
not having your own, and in, time, is
like expecting to make " bricks with
out straw."
Preparation of Ground.
The grind cannot, be too. rich.
Barn-yard manure is, beyond dis,pute,
the one preferable, if not the only
reliable, fertilizer. Gypsum, wood
ashes, ac., are good auxiliaries.
Sandy loam is, preferable to a stiffer
soil, and thorough cultivation is ab
solutely necessary. Without this it
paying crop cannot be expected.
Fall plowing or early spring is desii
able.
Betting out the Plants.
When ground As thus prepared,
say about May 20,, it shOuld-be ridg
ed in rows, three and a-half or four
feeti apart, if the ground is very rich.
After ridging, cut out indentations
to receive the plant, say three and a
half inches deep on the row, and
from twenty-two to thirty inches
apart, as experience may dictate, a
medium between the two being per
hap's, as good as depending, Of
course, on soil; and season. The
plants should be set below the gener
al level of the row, as by future hoe
ing the higher portions will cut down
to a level..: All other cultivation
should be the same as that for corn
or other hoed crops--thorough and
freiluent. No weeds dare be allowed
at any time. In an averne season
the plant will Mature sufficiently by
the early part of August to dispense
with further cultivation of the ground,-
as the plants shading it will check the
growth of weeds.
When to Top.
Whenever the plant develops from
fourteen to sixteen leaves, break off
the top, don't cut it off. This arrests
the further production of leaves, but
will prof:note the growth of suckers,
which will have to be removed,.after
attaining a length of three or four
inches, as often as they appear.
'enemies to be Guarded Aiinfest.'
It may be well to,reter here to two
formidable enemies of the plant, viz:
the black ont-worm and the green to
bacco worm. The former will attack
the roots of the plant as soon as it
is put into the ground. • The depre
dations; of this worm sometimes -ne
cessitate frequent re-planting. They
must be hunted and destroyed• until
they disappear, which they will do'
as the season advances. The last
named] generally appears July Is 4
and feeds on the leaf until the crop
is secured in the sheds. In fact, they
frequently, if not picked offs clean,
cling to the leaves alter the4talk is
hung up. AbQut these thercile but
one advice to give, pick them off and
destroy them, spipg over the tleld
for this purpose - daily, as she ravag.
es of the green worm do more to in.
jure the quality, perhaps, than any
other thing. -
2 2 Toy Plum
Usually`, from three to four weeks
frem tihe time of toppin4 -the. plant
will 'mature and be ready. to cut.
Uniform sizeof leavei snd a . stiff•
ness of the leaf, making,it liable to
break by bending and handling, 'are
the surest signs of maturity.
When to Cat It.

lug the wilting process, preparatory
to spearing and handling in the re.
poval'to the shed.
Ilansing It In the Sam.
When sufficiently wilted, the plan
most in practice is-- spearing or
stringing upon laths four feet long, -
&re or six plants to each lath, and
_then removing the same into sheds,
hang up for curing. The distance
between - the lath, .general arrange
ment of shed and management there.,
of, as to ventilation, admission• of
light, etc., must be attended to. Air
and light , having , a great influence
• the curing and fixing of color,
must be used to the best l a.ll
- in catering to the tastes of
the trade , which, by the way, are
subject to frequent changes; some
times light tobacco is in demand and
again dark will only meet a. ready
sale. Strange, but true', frequently
when„we have it dark the buyers
want'it it light and vice versa.'
Stripping.
By the middle of Decembei, and
after, whenever the plant is suill
ciently pliable by moisture to strip
or handle it without injury, you can
strip it; assorting leaves is one of
the prominent features in the strip.
ping process. All solid leaves should
be kept 'separate as Wrappers, and
these sorted into _hands of ten or
twelve leaves, each hand tied at the
butt by a single leaf. All leaves in
the dame hand should be of the-sam e length. The, hands should then 'be
assorted with reference to length
into two Or three sizes. All defeC
tive leaies Aiwa...be treated alike
and put up separatelk the respeCtive
qualities being bulked separately,

r_.
Packing'.
" The pa:eking or casing is generally
done - .by parties buying it from the
grower. I would fdrther add, that
so much depends upon little• details
in the Management of a tobacco
crop, to bring about the hest and
highest results, that the details can
not be presented intelligibly, on pa
per or even conveyed verbally.,
General Bemar
A personal observation during the
season with a practical grower is so
highly advantageous, that 1, , regard
it_as almost indispensably to success.
All professions and trades require a
course of reading and, an apprentice- -
ship. R; by should -we - not devote.a
season to the acquisition of the in
formation so highViessential to suc
cess, and which relieves us of much
loss of time and expense in experi
meritincr9 '
The. large quantity pf inferior to
baeco constantly upon the market is
the best evidence of the importance
of this feature in the business..—Froin
the. Lancaster Farmer.
PUMPKIN PIE.—If you want pump
kin pies in the spring stew and put
in a glass self-sealer same as fruit.
Apples pealed and stewed and can
ned now will afford you many a treat
in May - when apples are scarce.. To
te pies cut the pumpkin in small
• , stew with one teacup of wa
te 4.4ntil soft and dry as possible.
Put through a colander. Take eight
eggs, two tablespoonfuls of pumpkin,
one and a half cups of sugar, one
cup . of milk; flavor with cinnamon,
alspice and ginger. Put in a pan
lined with pastry and. bake.
ASPARAOtS Sorls.=One quart con
of asparagus; two quarts of _boiling
milk;'four tablespoons of corn
starch; one tablespoon- of butter,
salt, pepper and nntmegi 'to taste.
Heat asparagus and strain through a
coarse sieve, thicken the boiling milk
.with the corn starch dissolved in a
little cold . milk, add asparagus, but
ter; salt, pepper and nutmeg. Let
all come to a boil, and serve very
I hot, If the soup is too
.thick add
mou milk.
Fen TILE CURE OF NEURALGIA.—
Take two ounces of chloroform, tivo
ounces of chloral hydrate ; one and
one-half ounces of alcohol, one ounce
of camphor, one ounce of sulphuric
ether, six. grains of sulphate mor,
phine, and two drachms of oil of pep.
permint. Put the mixture into a mot.
tle sufficiently large to hold it, cork
it tightly, shake it thoroughly, and
bathe the: part afflicted frequently.
The above is intended for outward
application only.
SOME SWEET SAIMES.—I rather
think pudding sauces are Engli,h:
rather than French, as French cooks,
at least such as I have seen, rarely
go in for much sweetening. It's very
much of a mistake to make a putt
ding sauce too greasy or pasty. "Here
is a fair receipt for a sauce good for
puddings: 1. Grate half the rind .of
a. lemon, and add to it an ounce and
a half of white sugar and two table
spoonfuls of water, and let it -t.irn
mer for ten minutes; take- an, ounce
of butter and wash it thoroughly in
fresh water, changing the water
twice ; mix that with not more than
a -- half teaspoonful of flour (more
flour thin that spoils it); stir . that
-into the sugar and lemon and let it
boil, but not for a longer time than
, two minutes; when it is cooling put ,
in a teaspoonful of lemon juice and
'a wineglassful of Madeira. I think
the same quantity of % good, sound
red wine is just as good. Warm it
fall gently once
.more., If yen boil it
after the wine is.put in the flavor of
the wine goes off. This is fOr fancy,
delicate puddings. Sadec ;No. , `. 7 4 for
dumplings—This is a rough-and-61m
ble kind of sauce, and goes ,withltuT
or almost anything. Eqrial part' of
brown sugar and butter well ini4ed
up. into which you have put the yolk
of an egg- Put it over a light tire
and keep stirring it all the time, let
ting it simmer but-not; allowing
it to-
boil. Just before serving it , add 3
pinch of cinnamon: o it and a little
grated nutmeg. No. 3, hard sauce—
One ounce of butter and a quarter Of
a pound-of brown sugar (white sugar
is no good), beat it .up to a cream
and add a tablespoonful of brandy
and some nutmeg.
FRUIT CAKE. ;This is not only all
excellent cake, but is. light and di
gestible, Three cups of sugar, five
of flour, two of 'milk, two of butter
or lard, seven eggs, three teaspoon
fuls,of baking , powder, one of salt,
One pound of raisins; ofie-lilf pound
of citron or currants or figs, B llice 9 .
