POETICAL.
(From tba Atlantio Era.
BOA If DAL OUB.
We turn tba author of tba following doggerel orer
to the wishes of tba ladies. We make bo apologies
for biro, as be bas neither youth nor age to recommend
him to clemency. Wt bare reason to lelieve that
this aet of his was tba result of malar deliberation.
Hear what be bas to say t
As along tha street I blundered,
Much I marveled, much 1 wondered,
Seeing sights and things that mortal
Never saw or dreamed before ;
On tha pavement eame a rapping
As of footfalls gently tapping
. And I heard a muslin Hupping,
Which my eye would fain explore.
" 'Tis some female," tben I uuared
1 hod seen the thing before
Only this and nothing more.
Came this female sweeping by me :
Fearing she should chance to spy ma,
Suddenly I stepped into a
Friendly, wailing, open door j
Thence I saw the lovely maiden
Being from some distant Aiden
All perfumed and dry-goods laden,
Pass me and go on before.
Naught bad I to do but follow
And note down the things fho wore
'Twas a mystery to explore.
And I found by close inspection
That her haughty, upper section.
Something ohance had called a bonnet,
On its pericranium wore ;
And her breast was heaving slowly,
'Neath a garment faxhioned low j,
And I knew the movement wholly,
I bad never seen before ;
For I knew 'twas " patent beavers"
That this radiant maiden wore,
Only these ani nothing more.
And her cheeks were full and rosy
I could tell you, inter not, a
Secret theta druggist told ma
Of the oolor that she wore
Yot her eheeks were very pleasing,
But her look at me was freezing,
And she showed a sign of sneexing,
As she swept along before :
And she sneeied a pair of "plumpers"
Out at least a yard before,
Only this and nothing more.
Then I noticed an uncertain
Lifting of the muslin curtain,
That her feet had deftly hidden
From my errant eyes before ;
With each lift eame a desire
That 'twould lift a little higher,
And at last it did aspire
Higher than I'd seen before ;
And I knew it was a "titter"
That this saintly maiden wore ;
Just a "tiller" nothing mora.
And tho tilting and the rocking
Up and down the splendid stocking
liartered by a bluish ribbon,
That I chanced to see she wore,
Showed me 'twas a sight for weeping,
That a pair of calves were creeping
Out of place as she was sweeping
Like a stately queen before;
Cal vos that she had late, v purchased
From a fancy dry-goods store.
Patent calves and not much more.
And the fluttering and the flapping
. Of the maiden's gaudy trapping
Showed me sights that never mortal
Eye bad dared to see before ;
Sights revealed by every lifting
Of the folds of mulin drifting
Round her, which the winds were shifting
Eye-ward, higher, more arid more;
Sights that to mortal vision
Never were revealed before,
Nameless here forever more.
And while thus her rigging fluttered,
Much I wondered, and I muttered :
"And you call this thing a wouiau
That is trouncing on before ;
Sha tbo braien doll of fashion,
Wrapped in one tremendous passion ;
Sunken from her noble station,
To the thing that goes berure ;
Oh ! that every mortal vision
Should suoh mystery explore."
This I muttered nothing mora.
And the thought eame o'er me gushing,
Where has gone the art of blushing
That we loved in wife or maldeu
In the saintly days of yore ("
Cull me, if you will, unairil,
While I name ber " thing of evil,"
And I with the very deuot
Had the toggery she wore,
And again she were arrayed in
Drawee like her mother wurc,
Vanished now form er more.

"And why hasn't slit been called fort"
''I tent up to Mr. Harrington's address to

"Very odd," takl the groy-hcaded gentle
man, taking up hit newspaper.
"its, air, rut tier."
Some three-quarter of an hour afterwards,
Frank Evuni came to tho pnle girl's side
with an indescribable pity in his Imel eyes.
"Miss llarlun, we havsj tent to Mr. llnr
rinpton'i residence " '
Minnie looked up with a feverish red upon
her cheek, and her hands clusped tightly on
the handle of the faded carpet bug.
And we regret to Inform you that he
sailed lor Europe at twelve o'clock this day."
A sud('cn blur came over Minnie's eyes
she trembled like a leaf. In all her calcula
tions, she made no allowance for an exigency
like this.
"Can we do anything further for you t"
questioned the young clerk politely.
"Nothing no one can do anything now."
Prank Evans had lieen turning away, but
something in the piteous tone of her voice
appealed to every manly instinct within
Is I tn.
"Shall I send you to soy other of your
friends I"
"I have no friends."
"Perhaps I can have your things sent to
some quiet family hotel ?''
Mlnnio opened her little leather purse and
showed him two ten cent pieces, with a
smile that was almost tear.
"This is all the money I have in the world,
sir!"
So young, so beautiful, and so desolate !
Frank Evans had been a New Yorker all his
life, but he had never met with nn exactly
parallel case to this, lie bit tho end uf his
pen in dire perplexity.
"But what are yon going to do t"
"I don't know, sir. Isn't there a work
house, or some such place, I could go to,
until I eould find something to do ?"
"Hardly." Frank Evans could scarcely
help smiling at poor Minnie's simplicity.
"They are putting out the lights, and,
preparing to close the office," said Minnie
starting to her feet, "I must go somewhere."
"Miss Harlan," said Frank, quietly 'my
home is a very poor one I ant only a live
hundred dollar clerk but I am sure my
mother will receive you under her roof for u
day or two if you can trust me."
"Trust you I" Minnie looked lit Lim
through violet eyes obscured in tears.
"Oh, sir, I should be so thankful 1"
"How late you are. Frank ! Here, give
me your overcoat it is all powdered with
snow, and"
Hut Frank interrupted his bustling, clicr-ry-cheeked
nxit her, us she stood uu tip-toe
to take off his outer wrappings. .
"Hush, mother! there is a youug lady
down sluiis.''
"A young lady, Frank "
"Yes, mother ; expressed on from Iowa to
old Harrington, the rich merchant. He sail
ed fur Europe this morning, and she is en
tirely alone. Mother, ahe looks like poor
Blanche, and I knew you wouldn't refuse
her a corner here until she could tiud some
thing to do,"
Mrs, Evans went to the door and called
cheerily out:
"Come up stairs, my dear you'ro wel
come as flowers in May 1 Frank, you did
quite right ; you always do."
The days and weeks passed on, and still
Minnie Hurltii remained an inmate of Sirs.
Evau's humble dwelling. "It seems just us
though she had taken our dead Blanche's
place," said the cozy little widow t "and
she is so useful about the house. I don't
know how I managed without her."
"Xow Minnie you are not in earnest about
leaving us to morrow ?"
I mukt, dear Mrs. Evans. Only think
I have been here two months to-morrow
and the situation as governess is verv ad
vantageous."
"V ery well, I shall tell Frank how very
obstinute you are."
"IK-arest Mrs. Evans, pjpose don t J Please

V hut secret is It that is to lie so religi

ly walking into the midst of the ilistnidsinn,
with his uujk liuir tosaed about by the wind

"Secret ! repeated airs, fcvuns, untrgeti-

"No ritjut, ell I Minnie, no you Know

Story of' a florae.
The superior intelligence of the noblest of
quadrupeds is well illustrated by the follow
ing statement of facts, which appears in the
Lynn Reporter :
Almost everybody knows Aldermnn Otis
Newhall genial, good-hearted Otis New
hall, whose hand everybody likes to shake,
and whose smiling face is pleasant to look
upon and very many of our renders will
remember "Old Whitcy," a horse w hich Mr.
Newhnll owned for several years, to assist
him in his labors about Pine Urove cemetery.
of which he is the able and excellent super
intendent, "via wiutey" was a very intel
ligent animal, and knew almost as much us
Boino men. Many anecdotes tire related of
this horse, which we have no room for here.
He was often sent alone ubnut the grounds
of the cemetery with a loaded cart, and
would turn the corners of the avenues quite
as carefully without a driver as with one. i
He whs also often sent to the stable where
he was kept, which wns liulf a mile distant,
much of the way through n piece of woods.
A cote attached to his bridle would inform
the workmen at the barn what wns wanted,
nnd the errand being accomplished, the
norso wntiiti tie torneci dock, always return
ing faithfully and in good time to the place
ft on. whence he came? lie ws kt own i
to lull on these errands, nor to meet with i
any accident. I
About four yenrs ago. "old hitey" being j
eighteen years of oge, Mr. Newhull sold him i
nnd purchased a young horse. A man in i
Gloucester bought linn, aud that whs the
lust Mr. Xewluill saw of him, until one dny
lust week, when a stray horse strolled into
tlie cemetery grounds, and walked up to
whern the hib-jrera u-s-rti at work. Thru trii.,1 I
to drive him away, but several times he re
. . . . . ' - i
turned, and finully, finding he was not want
ed, turned his steps toward the stable before
mentioned. Mr. Newhall was absent at the
time, but upon his return at once recognized
his former faithful assistant, who testified
his pleasure at seeing his old master in the
most demonstrative horse language. Ho was
lean and sore, and but a wreck of his former
self, but his memory had not failed him
Mr. N. had his old favorite well washed, fed
and cared tor, nnd then turned him into a
rich pnsturc, where ho found plenty of sweet
crass which he devoured with evident relish.
or a week this old horse emoyed the rest
e hud so well earned, but everv day when
he had finished his repast, he would find
is way to where tha laborers were at work
the cemetery, ami stand among tlicm. as
much hs to say that he was readv tn go to
ork nauin. Two or three days since a man
did lnpstieiii called on Sir. Newhall and
luimed "Old Whitey" as his ptoperty. Ho j
nit tnnt lie imn oottgnt nun o the oiouceb
er man some time since, to work on a farm;
at he had put lum in his bam the night
lefore he came to the cemetery, and in the
morning hu was missing. The old horse had
made his way out, and flailing himself at
lierty, faithful to the instinct, or reason, or
liatever it may he called, that whs implant
ed in him, had graveled during that night,
r early morning, struiglit back, a distance
(twelve or fifteen miles, to Ins old home,
is though desirous to return to his former
ittics. It is gratifying to Mr. Newjiall to
lelieve that "Old Whitey" has a kind mas
ter, who will see that hu is properly fed and
cared for, as, after twenty years of faithful
service, be certainly deserves to be.

The corn crop should be uow gathered
and uut awav securely. If pulled from the
stalks and put under cover and key in the
shucks, it may await the leisure of winter to
shuck and put away in the coru-crib, and
with lees risk peibaiia of heating than if put
early in the crib. 1'ho lata grown corn is
very liable to dainnge, unless to dry ou the
standing (.talks till bite in the tall.
Tiie fodder having been well saved and
secured, let the largest stalks be fed early in
the season to afford time for rating the
bulk of material it contuins. It will thus, by
the treading of the cattle, be put early in the
condition of a good absorbent, and fit foi

The feeding of beeves for the butcher
should be carried ou with system nnd regu
larity, avoiding especially excessive feeding,
and being careful to see thnt they keep well
to their appetite. If fed loo high in tho
early singes of their feeding, before they
have got thoroughly accustomed, to the.
change from ordinary feeding, loss of nppe.
tite, loss of time, and waste of food will l-e
the consequence. Be euro that they are
kept at ali times dry and comfortable, add
with plenty of water nt command.
All these remarks nro nliko applicable ta
sheep. We are too apt to suppose that
their fleecy covering makes them insensible
to the changes of weather. Let them bp
specially protected against long cold rains
during their fattening season, keep them off
the wet ground nt night, and make them in
all respects comfortable and quiet.
noos,
If they have been long enough penned lo
become accustomed tu cltonge of food, they
should now bo put upon full feed. Let
them have nil they can eat of the best food
you give them, and see that they are krpT
quiet nnd comfortable. Charcoal is very
serviceable to fattening hogs. In the ab
sence of this rotten wood should bp sup
plied. An occasional handful of salt and
ashes to each hog is very bcuelicial.
Ground and cooked fowl, or either ground
or conked, is more economical than feeding
tho raw corn. But it is vastly more con?
venient tn use the whole ears, and at so
busy n season, few will adopt these modes
of preparing food. The next best one is to
throw the whole ears of corn ipto a tub of
water lo soak ftir twelve hours i having two
tubs, one of which will be emptied at each
feeding, and immediately filled again with
fresh ears. Throw into the water a little
salt and wood ashes. There should be s
perfectly dry floor tn feefj upon, if the hog
are not in raised pens, w here tho waste may

STonK STOCK.
Tho principles which aiipW to fattening

Sheep should have free use of sheds for
protection against bad weather, but should
not be confined to them. Calves do very
well if penned and fed with sheep,
Hugs should bo kept away from other
stock, nnd never allowed to sleep in damp
:uter, or manure neaps. A range in a wood
lot, and a bed of luavcs on a south hill
side, under cover, is a very suitable arrange
ment for them. Sows should go to the boar
tho latter part of the month, nnd will bring
their litters early in March. This will give
tho young stop If advantage of the whulu
season of warm weather for growth.

well with it. Then give a dressing on lop

Celery.--It is deairable to have celery so
secured for winter use that it may be got
at conveniently when wanted.. Of every
three rows, take up two very carefully, and
cutting down with tho spade, at each side
of the third row, at six iuche distance,

and cover up with earth to the tops of the
