FOR THE YOUM PEOPLE. Two Hardens. Prom my window, look ng outward Ucto the loft and right Two of my neighbors' gardens Lie clone within my night. On the right U Neighbor Thriftj'n, It did me (fori, to soe How in thin little plot he worked, With so muoh energy. He plowed, and planted it, and hoed, Onoe, twice, and yet again And when his crops grew bravely Did not desert them, them. For through the long, hot summer No weed conld lift its hoad, But that avenging hoe was sure -. To come and strike it dead. And, in the frosty autumn, When loaves around him foil. Eight goodly crops he gathered, And stored bis cellar well. Nokhboi Enpy'i plot wa on the left, He worked so bard you know In planting, when the words came up He was too tired to hoe 1 An! thus, with nought to hinder They sprang and grew apace; Choking the slim potato vineB Till thev were black in the faoe. The corn grew pale and sickly, Beans lay down in despair, ' Stretching in vain their arms for aid, Mo helping pole was there. And so, while Neighbor Thrifty Was heaping box and bin i Neiirhbor Kasy didn't find his oropi Very hard to carrv in I And as X wvohed, I'questioned, Why God makes weeds to grow ? Or men, like Neighbor Easy, And gives them land to sow ? One day, in drear December, As I looked forth again, I saw h iw God is keeping house For birds as well as men. -' A flock of little snow-birds Were journeying that way, All eager for the breakfast, They had not found, that day. O'er Neighbor Thrifty's garden They tie , all smoo h and white The oo d snow lay upon it, No stalk or spire iu sight. To Neighbor Esy's pU;U llioy came The weeds were wnvitig tail, With ripened seeds all clustered, Breakfast enough for all ! Oh what a merrv company Tney liotedaudfed, And swung themsi-Wes In the branohes 80 Hospitably spread. When they oonld eat no longer, I thought I hca d them sav, " We'll comn agniu to-morrow," Tueu lightly flew away. I watched them, smiling softly, A to myxeif I s iid, ' Not quite the whole of wisdom Is ooutred in your bend; For if only Neight.or Tniifty Ha J own-d a garden plot Can you to 1 where all tneie travelers Their breakfast wouU have &ot't" A Sncnr-Boillnc Scrape. When I was a boy we lived in the couutry, where I think all boys ought to live for a few years, and we didn't get coddled as you youngsters do, nor have so innny things to play, nor such schools, and books, and other helps to learuing and fun, as you have. But we had plenty of good times in coasting, skating, riding, fishing, hunting and trapping. And in the spring we al ways had a special " lark " when they made maple sugar. Father used to let us go to the woods with tha men when we were quite little shavers, and we would bring dry brash for the fire, and watch the big kettle when the sap was boiling ; so as to call the men or throw in a piece of pork, or some cold s ip, to keep it from boiling over. I can almost smell the sweet steam now, and see the little pieces of pork hobbling around in the kettle, and remember how my eyes watered when the smoke blew in them, and how good the first taste of the sugar was when they began to cool it on the snow to see if it was done. But the "sugaring off" was Iho greatest fun. Whan the sap was boiled down into clear, sweet sirup, they would put four or five pailfuls in the kettle and cook it slowly and carefully till it was done enough to " cake " into sugar. And then we would was some on enow, and stir some in saucers until it cooled, and eat it warm and cold until we couldn't hold any more and a long while after father wondered how we Ciuld hold so much. Well, one time, when we were about twelve or fourteen years old, we thought the sugar would taste much sweeter if we could get it iu some sly and mibchie vous way. That's the way with foolish boys and men in other things. Stolen sweets make half the trouble of the world. And so we went around to half a dozen of the neighbors' boys, asking them to a 6ugar bee in our woods the next night, but telling them not to let anybody know it. We knew there was a churu full and two big jugs of sirup waiting to be "sugared off" down in our busli, and we thought we'd steal a march on the men, and show 'em a trick or two. So, after the chores were done, we asked mother if we could go and Bee the boys, and she said yes, if we would be back by nine o'clock. We " saw " the boys, but it was in the lane leading to the woods, where they were waiting, whist as mice. It was growing dark fast, and we cut for the woods as fast as we could go. There was a big bed of coals snugly oovered with ashe, and we soon had it raked out, put new wood on, and made a blazing fire. Then we all took hold of the long pole and swung the big kettle over it. How to get the sirup ia was the next question, as we couldnit lift the big jugs up. But I found the dipper, and we dipped it out of the churn used to store it in, until there was a pailful or more in the kettle, and it began to boil up, as yellow and sweet as could be. But this time it was dark as a pocket. The lire lighted up the woods for a little ways, but it seemed all the blacker in the shadows beyond. We had never been out alone before, and the strange stillness began to make us feel very queerly. Our shadows, thrown by the firelight across the clearing, looked like big, black giants, and there wasn't much fun in our laughs as we watched them. One of the littlest boys vowed he saw some thing hiding behind a tree, and another thought he heard some animal stepping in the brush a little ways off. You see we knew we weren't doing right, and that makes boys and men, too very un easy. Kut wo kept close to the fire, and talked as bravely as we could, until the boy who was stirring the sugar Baid: "It hairs 1 it must be done I Who'll try it first ?" Who I who !" said a loud voice out in the darkness of the woods. Every boy started up as if a panther had come upon us. Jim dropped his Btirring-stick into the fire. Harry tipped o'er the pans of snow on the bench. Charlie stumbled over a root and fell head first into a sap-bucket; and then we all held our breaths and hurkened. " Who ? who f " said the voice again, loud and solemn. v 'Who are you, your own self?" shouted Frank, the boldest boy in the party -ana wnat-r-ye doing in this upar bush this time of sight ?" No answer oame. "Let's smoke him out 1" said Frank grabbing a blazing stick from the fire and starting for the brush, using it as a torch. He hadn't gone many yards be fore a great white owl flew from its porch in a tree, calling " Who-who-o-ol To-whit-to-whoo 1" And then we all laughed at our scare, and tnrned to the sugar just as a dread ful smoke and smell began to come out of the kettle. While we had been "owl ing it " the sugar had burned I We hod just got the kettle swung off from the fire when another voice sound ed close behind us, and this time it wasn t an owl, but father himself, who had seen the light of the flro, and came down to find out what it all meant. "So, so," he said, "very industrious boys, I see ! like to work nights I Well, we can't have anything wasted. Yon can just go nt that beautiful sugar you have made and eat it up." And he was a man that meant business, and no fooling, when he spoke. Well, we tried it on snow, and tried it warm, but couldn't tell which way it tasted the worst. Burnt sugar is about the bitterest stuff I ever got hold of, and a few mouthfuls of it was enough to set us all to begging. Father let up on the eating, bnt made us scrape and wash the kettles and dishes, and bank up the -Ire again. And then he put me ahead, and made Will take hold of my coat-tail and the next boy hold of Will's, and so on to the end, and marched us all sin gle file through the woods up to the house, a giggling, but rather sheepish procession. Mother said she didn't think we were a very happy-looking set of boys who had been oil for snob a sweet time; and well, we didn't do any more sly sugar ing off after that. There didn't seem to be much fun in it you know. Golden Rule, A Fight Among Elephants. The Piedmont Virginian gives ihe following particulars of a flercu fight among the elephants belonging to a traveling menagerie : A rather exciting scene occurred while Old John Robin son's Circus was traveling en route to Louisa Court House. The belligerents, Chief, Princess, Mary and Bismarck, were the actors and actresses in the "little tifficnlty." It had been appar ent to Mr. King (their keeper) and sev eral older attaches of the show that trouble whs brewing, the two factors, Mary and Chief (Asiatic) on one side, and Bismarck and Princess (African) on the other. The denouement occurred while crossing the South Anna river, on a bridge; the elephants cross ing in the following order: Princess first, Mary second, Bismarck third, and Chief bringing up the rear of the squad ; the other elephants not being allowed to come on the bridge at the name time on account of its apparent weakness, their weight being twentv tons. About midway of the bridge Chief became un manageable, and despite the efforts of Mr. Killer with Jinilr anA o..An a fearful onslaught on Bismarck, and buuu was its torce mat lie was knocked head foremost into the river.

Prepnmtlans to t.'elrbrnte Its One Hnndreth Annlrrrnnrr on Jnly 8 and 4-The 8tory I the Battle and Mninacre. A correspondent of a New York paper writes as follows from Horauton, Pa.: The elaborntepreparatiousin progress among the people of Pennsylvania for a centennial commemoration of the battle nnd massaoro of Wyoming, rpcall one of the most thrilling incidents of the Revo lution. The name of Wyoming and its sad history have obtained a worl 1-wide fame, and naturally tha thousands who have been stirred oy the recital of Its woes, will feel au iuterest in the forth coming oelebration, which will onour on the 8(1 aud 4th of July next, the first beiog the date of the battle and massa cre. Tlio preparations for the demonstra' tion were begun on the ninety-ninth anniversary of the event, when a number of the descendants of the gallant yeomen who fought ami fell met and organized an influential association, - with sub committees scattered throughout . the vallejr to attend to the details. The heartiness with which they entered upon their work and the enthusiasm with which the publio have seconded their efforts, warrant the hope that t ie affair will be worthy of the occasion which it is designed to honor. The invasion of the valley was accom plished on the 3d of July, 1778, when a number of British soldiers, commanded by Col. John Butler, nnd accompanied by 700 In tians, led by the cruel half breed, Brant, or Gi-en-gwah-toh, de scended upon the defenceless settlement. They were met by a few companies of old men and boys, whose extreme age and youth had exempted them from service in the distant ranks of the Re- j oublic, and for several hours a fierce battle raged on the banks of the Sus quehanna, But the contest was unequal. The Indians from their ambush, kept up a deadly flank fire, which soon thinned the ranks of the yeomen, and, utterly shattered, they were forced to fall back, despite the appeals of their courage jus leader, Col. Zobulon Butler, who cried, " Don't leave m, my children, aud the day is ours." The IndianR, seeing their foes retreat, fell upon them and slaugh tered witcout mercy, men, women and children. When the Six Nations espoused the English cause against the C ilonies it was part of the compact that the latter should lead them agaiust Wyoming, to afford them an opportunity of being avenged upon the settlers, whom they regarded as the usurpers of the red man's paradise, a name sometimes given to the valley; and so, the first skirmish being over, the Indians gave full scope to the spirit of destruction which possess ed them, and, breaking away from their leaders, they reaped a terrible revenge upon the gentle people of that Arcadian abode. About three hundred were put to death with torch, tomahawk nnd 8 pear, regardless of age or sex, and the tnost cruel tortures that a fiendish spirit c juld devise were employed to make the last lingering moments of their victims full of agony. An awful night followed that day of carnage. The huts and homes, the crops and orchards, were set on fire, and the devastation of the en tire settlement was made complete. Several were drowned in their efforts to escape down the river under the cover of night, but a party of a hundred women and children succeeded in mak ing their way to the mountains, under the leadership of one old man, who was their sole protector. But though they ma the terrors of the massacre, it was to encounter hardships equally severe. Their path lay through tha Great Swamp, now known as tho " Shades of Death, by reason of the numbers who had perished there, and the sufferiucrs thoy endured from fear and famine and sickness are unmatched by-anything on record. One poor woman, whose babe died at her breast in a vain effort to ob tain nourishment, carrie I her dead dar ling twenty miles rather than leave the precious burden behind to fall a prey to the wolves, and many other incidents of love and devotion are related. Only a few survived the fatigue of the march and the plague which overtook them in the swamp. The bodies of those who were massacred in the Wyoming Valley lay unburied on the plain for months, until a detachment of soldiers gathered them together one night and consigned them to a large hole iu the ground, fear ful lest a more respectful interment might excite the enmity of the Indians, who were still prowling about the neigh -borhood. The result was that the exact location of the remains was unknown to the friends of the dead for many Years- ana their discovery at last was a mere accident. An unassuming obelisk com memorative of the virtues of the fallen heroes have been raised over their rest ing place by the patriotic women of Wyoming, and is visited every summer by hundreds of persons attracted to the scene by a spirit of reverence or curios ity. In order to make the coming Centen nial as realistic as possible, a- number of huts are in prooess of erection along the river, to look exactly like those which stood there one hundred years ago, and the old forts are being rebuilt. A tribe of friendly Indians detailed their chief a few days ago to wait on the committee of arrangements and offer their services, in full costume, and their appearance will doubtless aid the picturesque features of the representa tion. President Hayes and a number of men prominent in politics and litera ture have also signified their intention of being present. The first day will be devoted to odes and orations commemo rative of the event. The words of a poem by Miss Susan E. Dickinson have been set to musio and will be Bung by one iiunarea voices, ana a similar con tribution has been made by another accomplished lady, who retires behind tne om an plume of "Stella ot Liacka wanna." The programme for the Fourth of July consists of a grand pageant. participated in by the civic and military sooietits of Pennsylvania, to be followed in the eveniug by a display of fireworks along the river banks a distance' of twenty miles of charming soenery. A sketch of Wyoming would be incom plete without mentioning the "Bloody Queen Esther," an Iudian fury, who with her own hand put twenty men to death. Her victims had been taken prisoners, and were promised meroy; but just at the moment when they hoped to be released they were led from the fort where they had been held captive, aud ranged around a rook, upon which their murderess, with death-maul and tomahawk, dashed out their brains. It is known to this day as O. teen Esther's Rock, and the portion which rose above the surface of the earth has been almost carried away by the relio hunters. The stoty of Frances 8looum.who was carried off from her mother's door, a'merebaby, by the Indians, and discovered half a century later by her brothers, who found that she had forgotten her lan guage, and was happy and wealthy with the "children of the forest" is too well known to need reproduction; neverthe less, owing to the touching circumstances ot the, ease tit occupies considerable prominenoe in the tradition of the mossnore. Tho nephew of Franoos Slocum is at present residing in Sorau ton, and remembers well having heard his father describe the meeting with his sister. The Sudden Disuse of Stimulants. The Rev. T. H. flhono writes from Hartland Vicarage. North Devon, to the London Tknen.' It is freanently affirmed that any sudden abstinence from alooholio beverages in a person much more nn aged persori who has used them through life, is prejudicial to health. An in stance has lately come under my obser vation of the beneficial results arising from the sudden disuse of alooholio stimulants by a widow of eighty-two summers. Her usual drink through life had been gin, whioh she chanced for beer previously to reaching her eightieth year. Hue suffered from occasional at tacks of gout in her left hand, and also a running foot-sore. Upon her reaching tho age of eighty that is two years ago she suddenly adopted the total ab staining principle, much to the surprise and consternation of her friends, who all prophesied a speedy and sudden terinin tion of her life for the want of her accustomed potations. Nothing of the kind. The toe healed, t.hn print vanish ed, and for two years she has been free from tuese uarassing oomplaints, and is a living monument of the good effected by the sudden adoption of a non-alco-holio regimen. She is in her eighty third year, and frequently walks out into her son's garden or farmyard with out any covering on her head. Her memory is excellent; she can repeat long prayers, and she bids fair to be come a centenarian. - The Power of Suctfon. In a Scottish port, celebrated for its herring fishing, there lived a character named Dugala M' , owner of an old fishing boat called by the local wits the " Emsie." Ou one occasion the " Em sie," with a crew of three hands, includ ing the owner, was fishing in the Kyles of Bute, and had what fishermen call a run of bad luck, by reason of which the crew had for a considerable time to sub mit to short rations. One morning, however, a stroke of luck put them in funds, and the owner replenished the locker, one item being one pound of salt butter, whioh, be it noted, was placed in a bowl. Ou going to sea in the eveninar. the owner descended to the " den " to get what he called a pieo..." One of the hands followed by and-by on the same errand, but was surprised to find the bowl empty. Thiukiug he had made some mistake, he inquired of Dugald where the butter had been put, to which Dugald r plied. "It's iu the bowl." at. the same time moving forward to seek what he knew could not be found. On looking into the empty bowl he ex claimed, in surprise, "Eh, gudesake ! the bowl has sooked it in." We need hardly remark that the hand went on deck "a sadder but a wiser man." Best Things. The best philosophy a contented mind. The best law the golden rule. Tus best education self-knowledge.

The Warrnambool (Australia) Stand ard gives an account f a diver being seized by au octopus or sea-devil: The diver engaged at the Moyne River, Belfast, in removing tha reef had a rather narrow escape from losing his life. It appears that Mr. Smale had fired off a charge of dynamite and displaoed a large quantity of stones at the" bottom of the river. He went down to prepare for lifting these stones by the aid of chains into the punt. While engaged in rolling over a large stone he saw someting which he supposed at the time was a piece of clean-looking kelp moving about in front of where he was working. In a few seconds this object came in contact with the diver s arm, about which it quickly coiled, partly holding him. Immediately Mr. Hmale touched what was coiled round his arm he became aware of his position, and tried to extraot himself from the grasp of a " sea-devil," but found it a far more uifficult 10b than he anticipated. Catching hold of the part hanging from the arm we wa'.ked along the bottom of the river towards the end of it, when he saw he was firmly held by one of the feelers 01 a large octopus, better known amongbt sailors as the "devil -fish." Mr. Smale tried to pull the fish off from its hold of the rocks, but without effect for some time. At last the fish, perhaps thinking it had not sufficient hold or power over its prey, loosened itself from the stones and quickly transferred its feelers or arms around the diver's legs and body. In this position Mr. Smale thought the best thing for him to do was to get up on deck as soon as possi ble, and he quickly made traoks for the ladder which reaches from tho deck of the punt to the bottom of the river. The diver was certainly a ourious- looking object when he came up. This huge, ugly looking thing appeared to be eutangled all over him, holding him in a firm embrace. However, Mr. Smale's fellow-workmen were not long in freeing him from the unfriendly hug of bis submarine companion. Tne body portion of the octopus was only about the size 01 a large soup plate, with eyes in its head like those of a sheep, but it possessed nine arms, eaon about four feet in length, at the butt as thick as a man's wrist, tapering off at the end to as fine a point as that of a penknife; thus it could spread over an area of nine feet in diameter. AU the way along the underneath part of eaoh feeler are suckers every quarter of an inch. giving it immense power. Mr. Smale declares it was powerful enough to keep inree men uuaer water. ' . .

We believe that we ooufer a favor on the farmers by directing their atteution to tho Adriance Reaper, built by Adrtance, Piatt & Co., of Poughkeeptie, aud 165 Greenwich. street, Jfew York, who are so well and favor ably known as the builders of the famous Buckeye Movrert and Reaper. The Adriance Reaper is fitted to meet the wants of those farmers who prefer a separate aud distinct machine for reaping. The name of the luild ers Is a sufficient guarantee for the excellence of its material and workmanship; but nothing short of a personal inspection can enable the farmer to appreciate the remarkable Ingenuity of its devices or the admirable manner in which it combines simplicity with efficiency. It ii a light iron reaper, with one driving whee The rakes are operated in a manner similar to. that whioh has proved 10 suooessful on the Buckeye Harvester, but are still more per fectly under the control of the driver. It ia of very light draft, but very strong. The ease with which the platform can be tilted fits ic especially for use in lodged grain. It will do good work in all kinds or oonditiom of grain, and its folding platform makes it as portable as the Buckeye Mower. With an Adriance Reaper and a New Model Buckeye Mower a farmer is enabled to gather his grass and grain crop with the least degree of disoomfort to himself or his team, and with the most satisfactory results.
