'To keep pace with the growing interest in
practice' Elortioultine, `lted te• eentrily.with:fre-,
,giant apirals - from all parts of- the country, for
information of a practical character on the sub
jeCt; we have engaged the. services of. a potion,
,who is experienced in rural affairs to' write in sa
lucid style a series of articles on the management
of Small Farms. Fruit and Vegetable Culture,
and bow to"nialte them pay, giving' general and
specific directions from planting to the ultimate

Of late years titere has been a lucrative busi

ready to guard the farinoritgeinst any, stielt,im:

- VETERINARY DEPARTMENT.
• To make' The tribune' itill tridke, valuable; to
its agrienitural readers, we have 'engaged Prof.
James Law, Veterinary,Bargoon in Corpell Dni

of Cattle;;llorses,'Sheisti, and other domestic aril
and to prescribe remedies. Ansv?ers-and
presekiptions will be' given only' through' the eOl
a:Una oli,The Tribune. We are sure that this
new feattire in Th 6 Tribune - will addlirgely 'to
its renders, as all miner's ofanimals hie liable
need the information proffered. Inquiries, sbo'
bo made as brief as possible, that " the questions

gather. In short, we intend that The Tribun r e'
shall keep in the advance in all that concerns
Agricultural, Manufacturing, Mining, and other
interestcrof the country; and' thlirfek varietylind

valuable, interesting, and instructive Newspaper

It has-been well observed that ct,eareful read

farmer can do without it. As a lesson to his
workmen alone, every farmer should place 'the
Weekly Tribune upon his table every Saturday
evening. -

-The Tribune is this host and cheapest paper RI
the country. This is not said in a spirit of
boastfulness. It has fallen to Now-York to cre

wealth of fh o Republic. Hero all the news gath

Weekly Tribune the best and cheapest newspa

every copy of The Weekly Tribune contains as
much matter as a dnodecime volume. Think of
:t ! For two dollars, thp Fubseribor to The Tri

long been conceded that The Aeekly• Tribune

FIRST TELEGRAM.
I was paining' ti fewldayS':ago, the
old grave yard on the hill, 'and tho' it
Wair;O:Old and chilly,_EiomethiUg within
f l*ried pressing me to turn• - ,in
among the jeadesS trees, tangled briars
and brushwood, and read the -inserip

ineinorised_the birth and death of
_many
I once knew, but who were noveguiet
ly sleeping- 46 their 'neglected graves;
perhaps untonadions or the forbidding
ldolcs of this their last home-unconscious
too, perhaps of the forgetfulness of the
dead liy,the living. Perhaps their
,laSt
sleep! the .quiet sleep of forgetfulness
forever !
, But yet 11, could not' belt) thinking
that•the departed were not sleeping;
that, clothed with that spiritual body
which the soultakeson;-4hen in night
ilreatns, it wanders away from its bu j.-

I ea , s • tr . s - v.
be still , hovering around old Emetics;
hi'enihing into the soul of old friends,
and, perhaps leading me by their in
visible presence an'd' — proinbtings, to
wander amid the desolation . of their
neglected•hotnes.: •
, I turned into the grave' yaEd,
stiAnge influence came over me, afid it
seemed that I, too, was one of the,dead.
The old Academy failed away;' the
'glorsus landscapes around, grew !aim;
the viillage helow,•seemed, but the lurt
subStxtritial. fabrics of a dream; and at
lastiall went out, and to me, alb things
were notlflpg, and I was not. ,
• How long, I know not, for there is no
:tithe in eternity; - but at last, creeping
over me with a strange-influence, there
came a dim, liaiy memory of myielf—
dim as the firit ray of -light, creeping
along the raiders of Infinite - darkness;
and then an old home that looked, out
'upon me in the dimness, and old elms
towering in front, and tall chestnut
.trees In the distance—and walking
in the ,shade, a middle aged - man and
a beautiful Vornan, and upon the trees
anti under them, innumerable children,
seen only to fade away—and then the
grand panorama of a whole life, and
leas again in the old grave yard—l,
t
and all its dead; each one there —I
knew most of them, crowding around,
me, and greeting me with a ghostly
smile, as a new comer to the spirit land—
a new inhabitant of the old Grave Yard
on the Rill.
There were there, the old and the
young, beautiful girls, athletic young
men,
,gray-headed old men and women,
and sweet children, all hovering around
me, and seeming, at times, to become a
part of me, and I, of them; all inter
mingling in one,and yet each preserVing
his identity. They had no voice: no
sound was heard in all that desolate
cemetery-of the dead; and yet It was as
though they talked with each other,
and with me ; sometimes like the sweet
melody of music, then like the earnest
conversation of those) who would seek
convince; and then like the loud
shoufof hapyy souls;
There were prattling children; the
'noiseless' mirth of merry girlhood; the
sober l yeice of manhood; the trembling
voice of old age, and yet there was no
sound—ii was as it were, the language
•o't thonght. I asked no questions, for
As soon us a ,qnestioning thought ttioiie
its ivy mind, thennswer came, I know
nahow,,but it seemed to come from
all around me—not orally, not written,
not, in, characters ; but as the soft in-
IlttiinOe of gentle magnetism ;'like the
uribreathed answer of love to love.
-WhO; old grave yard was there ; the
'broken-down fence, the unshapely trees,
the dwarfed thorns, the .unsightly bri
ars, the broken tombstones, the deep
ideals from which,the buried dead had
been raised to be transported to the new
cemetery----all just as I saw them in life;
and yet ; we passed among them and
throtigh. them without, hindrance, for
they were: alll.its , *e_were—tlie imma
terial spirits of t 4. Material.
I noticed that over nearly all the
graves, there was a kind of phosphoric
glimmer ; 'over soling just' perceptible;
others,yet brighter over some, a bright
halo - of glory ; and this pliosphores 7
cence seemed also a part of the dead
themselves; sometimes assuming the
outlines of the human form, yet, as the
representative spirit receded froin the
-grave, the form faded out, but the light
remained.
Over a few, graves there was no light,
and yet I observed that the bodies lay
there . us in othersi over which the light
shone, for everything was transparent
there, and when I thought of the dead
in any grave, in some mysterious mann
it was before me, and seemed, as it

Tim II MANUFACTUIIE OF STEEL—The
Paris Press says: "An 'experiment of
a most interesting character, and hav
ing the highest interest for the iron in
dustry, has taken place at We - Marquise
Stock workg, in presence of two qtni

The object of this experiment .wa to
make.steel by one operation, a prob em - ,
which has engaged all metallurg sts,
and, if solved, would cause an Indus
, trial revolution. , 111. A-ristide' Berard,
an engineer whose name is familiar to
all who have occupied themselves with
this question, prOposed to 'change , sec
ond-class metal in ,course of reflnining
into steel of at least ordinary quality,
by means of a process alternately oxid
izini and reductive. His efforts have
-.?
be6n crowned with success. The pro
duct obtained by his process, in pres
ence of two competent judges, proyed
,to be steel of good quality,_suitable for
all purposes, and made with the facility
necessary to its application tolpractial
industry. The operation was effected
in a reverberatory furnace, lasted about
an hour and' a half, and was accom
plished with as much . facility as pud
dling. In this process, instead of ac
ting on 480 pounds of metal to obtatn
,iron of numb,ef one
,qUality, from 6,600
M 11,000 pounds of, metal is made by
only one operation into - steel ingots

unexpected econoniy. We will be much
deceived if this invention has not in it
the germ of a complete revolution in

THE LOAFER.—There is tin accurate

an idle man—a ,man whose chief aim
of live is . to loaf—to waste in -iistlese
lounging, and mental and phySical in
action the-years of his short life. , There
ar t e scores of such beings in every town
and city—miserable loafers, whose sole
occupation is to void employment of
any kind—whoSe lives can hardly be
called live S—who die one after another
and leave behind them—what?*A va
cancy to he mourns 'l No, for they
are in themselves vacancies; not men.
To these atoms society owes nothipg.—
The history of the world's progress ig
nores their names and existence; and
being demi, the grave contains no more
inert, worthless earth than it did be

as regards their worth or value, and
from day to day in the haunts of busy

told,blm.he could not.
The diSapPoitlted little fellow looked
nplto me with a very poor attempt at a
Snalle, and left the store. I followed
him and overtook him.'
And what now ?' I asked, kindly.
•` Try another place, sir.'
•' Shall I go, too, and Eee how you suc
need I asked:
Oh, yes, if' you like,' said he, in sur
prise.
Four different stores I entered. with
him, and each time he was refused.
• Will you try again?' I asked him.
• Yes, e1r,.1 shall try them all, or I
shouldn't know whether I could get
one.' .
We entered the' fifth store, and the
little fellow walked up manfully, and
told the gentleman just what he wan=
ted, and bow much money he had,
.
Yon want the book very; very much?"
said the proprietor., ! -
Yes; sir, very muoli.' • 1 !,
Why do you want it, st - i very, very
much ?' ,
.' To study, sir. I eau' t o to school,
ut I study when I am at home. All

vas a sailor, aidl wanted to learn the
places where he used to go.' *; .
' Does he go to those places ; now ?'
'He is dead,' said the lry, softly.
Then he added, after awhile; I am go
ing,to be a sailor, too:'
! Are you, though?' asked the gentle
:man, raising his eye-bows, Curiously.
Yes, sir, if I live.'
Well, my lack, I will, tell on what I

`Yes, just like the new ones.'
It will do just as well, then, and
I'll have eleven cents left toward buy

didn'l let me have any at the other
places.' • -
The hookseller looked up inquiringly,
and I told him what I had seen of the
little_ fellow. He Was rough pleased,
and when he Orouguu aton s ,
saw a nice new pencil and some clean
white paper in it.
kA present, my lad, for your perse
verance, Always have courage like
that, and you will make your mark.'
Thank you, sir. You ore very good.'
What is - your name?'
Harverly, sir.'
Do you . want any more books?' I
now asked him.
More than I ever can get." he re
plied, glancing at the books that filled
the shelves.
I gave him a bank note. 'lt will
buy some for you my boy,' said I.
Tears Of joy came into his eyes.
Can I buy what I want with it?'
' Yes, niy lad, anything.'
Then buy one book for pother,'
said he "I thank yop very much,' and
some day I hope 1 can pay you back.'
He. wanted my name and I gave it to
him. Then - I left him standing by the
counter, so happy that I almost envied
him ; and many years pawed before I
saw him again. •
• Last year
. I went to Europe Qn one of
the finest vessels than ever plowed the
waters of the Atlantic. We had beau
tiful weatheruntil very near the end
of the voyage, then came a most terrific
storm that would have sunk all on
board had it not been for the captain.
Every-spar was laid 'low, the rudder
was utmost useless,. and a great leak
had shown itself, threatening to fill the
'ship. The crew were all strong willing
men, and the mates ' were practical
seamen of the first class; but - after
pumping one whole night, and still the
water was gaining on them, they - gave
up in despair, and prepared. to take to
the 'boats, though they might have
- known that no small boat could
ride such a se ; The captain, who
had been below with his charts now
came up. He aw how matters stood,
and with a v lee that I. heard distinctl
above the r iar Of the tempest, lie or
dered every man to his post..
It was surprising to see all those men
bow before the strong will of their cap
tain, and hurry hack to the pumps.
The captain then started below to ex
amine the leak. As he passed me, 'I
asked him if the - 0 was any hope. He
looked at me, ti , n at the other passen
gers, who ,had et wded up to bear the
reply, and said, febukingly :
`Yes, sir, tber is hope as long as ono
inch of this deck _remains aboVe water.
When I see none of it, then I shall
abandon the vessel, and not before; nor
one Of my crew, sir. Everything shall
be done to save it, and if we fail, it will
not be from inaction. Bear a hand,
every one of you, at the pumps.'
Thrice (luring the day did we despair;
but the captain's dauntlesS courage, per
seVerance and powerful' will mastered
every mind on board, and- we went to
work again.
' I will land you safely at the dock in
Liverpool,' said lie,'if you will be men.'
And he did land us safely; but the
vessel sunk moored to the dock. The
Captain stood on the deck of the sink
ing vess.el, receiving the thanks and
blessings. of the passengers as they
passed down the- gang-plank. 1 wa.

grasped my hand and said :

I iunogerated my establishment last
Wednesday nite. • Rememberin the ter
rible main uv all my other inogger
-1 ashens, I deklined at fast to make any
formal openin, but my friends insisted
that it wuz the custom uv the ward and
I must do it.
' Nobody will buy your likker,' send
ea,,,ise yen don't make a regler openin.'
. 'Ef I make a regler openin,' sed J,
'I won't, hey a drop to sell 'em. Stay—
I iev it. I'll go before a Justis OV thp
Peece and take a solemn oath not to
drink anything myself that nite.'
I" '['won't do,' sed. my friend, 'oaths
drin't count in this ward.' .
Various plans were rejectid. One
gentleman proposed that I shoed he
tied down so that I eoodent bit at the
likker, and that he shood do the hon
ors. His nose wuz agin him and I de
elined; his proposishen. Finally I hit
upon the plan. I calkilated that twen
ty gallons would anser,
and I put that
amount in a barrel, T i tle balance uv
the stock I locked in a room, and then
put 'the key away in the drawer.
There' sed I triumphantly, 'afore
that twenty gallons is egsaustid I shall
be too far gone to know where the key
to the room holdin the i balance uv the
stock is. Saved! Saved!
It resultid ez I anticipatid. At first
WO lied speeches and toasts. Mr. O'Baff
erty replied to the toast. i `Our adoptid
country.' .He sed the term. 'Our adop
tid country' wuz a happy one, for so
far ez Noo York waz concerned the
sons tiv Erin had , adoptid it:" He bed
bin charged with a lack uv love for his
country. He repelled the charge with
scorn. Why shoodn't he love this
country ? In wit other country wuz
votes worth a dollarapeece ? Whereelse

MARRIAGE SHORN OP. POETRY.—The
Rev. D. a Methodist minister stationed.
at Meadville, some two years age, one
evening *e, ceived a note informing him.
.that a couple living in the suburbs of
the city deslied to be united in the
bonds of matrimony, and requested his
services at, 111110 o'clock in the morning.
At the proper time he went to the house
designated. He inquired of a young
lady who was busy 'washing dishes, if
there was a couplelhere who wished to
get married.
' I am the lady,' she replied, blushing.
'John will be In in a moment.'
The minister was surprised to see- no
Preparations, and stepped to the door
to see the • surroundings. Two men
were busily engaged in grinding scythes
in the yard, and another, who proved
to be 'John,' was tending a cow- and
calf. The young lady came to the door
pretty soon and shouted :
John, John, hurry up ; the preach
er's here !,
John leaped the fence and rushed to
the house, the girl wiped her hands on
her apron, and after joining hauds, said
they were ready. The . minister _pro
ceeded, and had just - got through ques
tioning the young man, when the old
lady rushed into the room, shouting:
`John, John, you didn't turn the cotta
away from the calf I'
He let go his sweetheart's hand ins,
stantly, and rushed into the barnyard,;?,
put the old cow through the bars, and
then returned, to the house, again tocik
his - place when the remainder - of the
ceremony waa performed. The minister
went on his way rejoicing, John went
to'the bay field, and the lady resumed
her digh-washing.—,-Forest (Pa.) Repub

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE TUNNEIi.-
A few days ago, on. board the Express
Train of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad, bound southward under the
Charge of conductor Frescoln, were a
young lady. and gentleman Seated to
gether, bearing the appearance of a
couple, recently married,_ or wishing
most heartily they were. It - was ob
served bythe passengers thht the lady
had,on her lips a bit of black court plas
ter—probably she had a soar lip. This
was noticed before the train had entered
the channel at Phoenixville, which is
1930 feet. After the train had passed
the tunnel the passengers saw another
sight! For lo !• the black court plaster,
by some hocus pocus, had changed'lips,
and now the young man 'had it bad.
The mysterious changing of the plaster
became the subject- of conversation
among the other passengers, and all on`
board indulged in a hearty laugh, as
light began to draw upon their won
derings. Light began also to draw
upon the minds of the couple, when
the train stopped at Phcenixville, and
violent blushing ensued. The ques
tion is, 'What happened'in the tunnel.'
AN , IRISHMAN'S WILL.—In the name
of God Amen! I, Timothy Doolan, of

gone before me find tho - that live after

their ashes, and May the sod rest lightly
over their - bones. Bury me near my

Chapel yard. I hive the bit. of ground

.boll before putting the potatoes in.-
- When done, pour oft' the water and
scatter three or four tablespoonsful of
salt, cover the pot with a coarse' eloth ,!
.and return it to the fire for a short time.
Watery. potatoes are Hautdo merely by
this process. How simple is the pro:
cess, yet how few understand it !
