THE OLD FARMER"B A LMANAVA Now, Banner, 'tain't no um to tell what , them newspapers §ay About the storms and winds and Hoods that's comin' right owuv, The cold waves that they harp about that's brewin' in the west, An' movin' east bout just so fast. 1 hain't no confidence In anything: of thut ere kind; it n the new fangled w ay Of rannin'tilings, nsirthe Lord Be wouldn't 1 hev' His say About the weather any more. I ain't so tarnnl green As t' be tuk in by weather that's ground out of a machine! An' I look where I'll find it straight, for snow, an' raih, an' hail, In the good old Farmer's Almanac, that hangs thereon the nail. Them Proberbilities don't count; I want to know- for sure An sartin. when the winter'll come, the reaj, Simon pure! The kind of weather that we hod so plenty ! in my day, When sleighin' in November come, an' some times held till May! In them times, Hanner, blizzards wuz a thing we didn't know; A snowstorm wuz u snowstorm, and a high wind wuz a bow; An' when it cleared away we didn't hat rer up our souls A-worryiu* about the storm that wuz liatch iii * ut the Poles; An' when we wanted weather new?, 'boil* which there wuz no tail, We looked in the old Almanac, that hung there on the nail. We trusted some to signs,you know, as how ' the wihl geese flew A-goin' south, an' how the husks upon the field corn grew, An how the beavers built their dums. whether they's high or low, An' if the breast hone of the goose wuz white. look out for snow; But when my mother wanted for to set a j bro.odv hen She'd have to huve the signs all right for a good hatch; an' when My father wanted to find out if there'd be a rainy May, So's hecou'd raise his ealves, an' know he'd have a crop of hay, Bhy then they looked where weather calcu-! lations did not fail, In the old Farmer's Almanac, that lrnng there on the nail. The calendars may be all right for them as 1 thinks 'em so, But they don't tell the farmer when his j grass is fit to mow. I like to know about the time the new moon will be here, An about the expected tantrums of the planets through the year, An' what time the 'clipses visible will be along this way, An if there 11 be some thunder-showers about camp-rueetiif day. I like to see the picters thut I've seen for ! many a year; They bring me buck to youth again—an' though some may think 'tis queer, Them jokes in the last part is never old or flat or stale, In the old Farmer's Almanac, that hangs there on the nail. So, Banner, Hain't 110 use to try to beat it into me, Thut them "forecasts" in the newspapers that every day wc see. Is of any sort of consequence; why, there bain t no kind of doubt But what amun that undertakes to plan the weather out Must know the heavenly bodies, an' conjunc tions, just as 1 Know all my cows an'horses, an' pigs that's . in the sty! He can't trust to them thermometers with Aggers sot by rule, Like the sums upon the blackboard w hen 1 went to decsti ict school. An' when I want to know about the rain, oil' snow, an' hail, I'll look in tlio Farmer's Almanac, that hangs there on the nail. [Clara Augusta, in New England Magazine. AN EASTER BONNET. ''The prettiest girl I ever saw in my life 1" said Colonel Mnytield. .Just look at her now, standing under the leaves of that Illinium -tree, in the pale-green dress, with the - silver threads running through it, and the light shining on her j hair! I only wish 1 was twenty years younger, wouldn't I enter ihe lists I against any dozen of you young men for such a prize as thut!" Mrs. Vanueck's "murdi-grus hall" was in full tide. Hanks of palms ami orange trees tilled up the angles of the room, giant ferns waved their graceful leaves aiotig the staircase, and gold plumed acacias concealed the band whose music thrilled the dancers' feet. And Harold Ifartwick, looking across the brilliant room to where Miss Kvorly ; stood, could not but acknowledge the justice of the colonel's remark. "Yes," he said, quietly," -'she j s vcrv lovely." "And as good as she is pretty, I'll be j bound criuil the old gentleman. "Come. Harry, you've got to settle in i life some time. Why not now ? Where will you find a sweeter girl ? Ami an heiress, too, I'm told, into the bargain:* "That's the very trouble," said Hart wick, shrugging his shoulders. "Eh?" "Theseheiresses--these ball-room belli what sort of wives do they make irst rate,' said the colonel, brisk Iv. "Your own dear mother, Ham, was the . best walt/.er of the year she came .ut And you yourself know what a woman 1 she is." "My mother is an exception to the' world in general." "That's what all young men think.! Come, I'm a regular old fortune teller! and I can read Ethel Evcrly's nature in ! those velvet-blue eves of hers. Any man who wins her will win a treasure. Don't boa laggard, Harry! Don't let any one 1 else carry off the prize, while vou stand doubtingly." Hut, to the colonel's infinite disinav. ' Harold Haitwh k asked Gratia Fielding to dunce the next gcrman with him. "That Fielding girl," said Colonel May tie Id—Great Ciesnr! what are our young men thinking about?" Pretty Ethel Kvcrly went homo with a heavy heart, after all her ball-room triumphs. Harold Hartwick had not danced with her once! " What a fool 1 am to cure for a man who evidently wastes very little thought on me!" said Ethel,unclasping the pearl ornaments from her round, white throat. "Oh, dear, oh, dear! I'm quite ready for Ash Wednesday now. I don't care if I never go to another ball!" While little Gratia Fielding's heart was correspondingly elated! "If I could only dress like that rich I Miss Everly," thought she. "I might ! have some chance. Mamma must give up the idea of her new black silk dress, i 1 must have a stylish outfit for Easter. | And I dare say Jenny can get aloug witb i her old hat retrimmed. Ido need thos< i bracelets, and I am positively afraid tc i let napa know how much Mrs. Needle I ford's dressmaking bill is in arrears. OQI can't go into society without spending money, and it's a life-and death business with me." Gratia Fielding was the family beauty !—a selfish, smiling little fairy, who ig nored everybody's rights but her own, and kept her two sisters hopelessly shabby to indulge her own passion foi dress. "I wonder," said Gratia, as the sofl spring days crept on, ''what I shall hav< 1 for an Easter bonnet this year?" j Mrs. Fielding looked alarmed. " Isn't that new one with the white s lilacs good enough?" said she. "Papa's salary, you know—" j "Gb, don't lecture mc any more!' ; said Gratia, petuautly. "Economize— 'economize! I am perfectly sick of the j word. Of course I must have something entirely new for Piaster. Nobody wears | their old things." "Except Jenny and Louise and--my self 1" said Mrs. Fielding, bitterly. I "Oh, but that don't signify, you ; know," declared heartless Gratia. "You arc old, and Jenny has uo good looks of J any consequence, and Lou is only a schoolgirl. lam the one to be thought of now. And a new bonnet I must have. None of your home-made affairs, either —a real Piris affair. Easter wouldn't be Easter without a new bonnet. But Lally Yigaroux says I musn't purchase until the very Inst moment if I wish to get a bargain. The milliners arc so stiff in their prices at this time of year!" And so. the very week the church bells were ringing, and the florists' win dows were abloom with white lily-cups and snowy rosebuds, Gratia Fielding scoured the fashionable thoroughfares of New York for a bonnet that should awaken the envy of all her friends. "This is the very one I want," said she, in Mudutn Plumcjeau's fashionable atelier. "It's so simple, and yet so ele- i gant. Oh, madam—" "It is an order," said madam, com ! placently alteriug its position on the l standard. " Miss Evcrly's own taste. | White rosebuds aud fern leaves, and hand-made Honiton lace in the regular j Bermuda lily pattern. The lace alone gives it a style that nothing else can ap proach. It was made by one of our young women—Estelle Dupont." "You'll duplicate it for me, madam?" coaxed Gratia. "Oh, I must have it!" "Duplicate it? Certainly not," said Madam Plumejcau, slightly drawing her- , self up. "Itis 4o be sent home to- j night. We never duplicate." Gratia's eyes fairly gloated over the lovely creation. She was no contemptible milliner her self. The simple straw, the buds, the leaves, she could manage, she thought; but the exquisite Honiton lace—that was the problem! As she sauntered out, she incidently asked one of the smart young women behind the counter for Mi.vs Dupont's | address. " But it's no use," suid Miss Martin, as she wrote out the direction. " She's at tending upon a sick mother. She won't take iu any work." " But she shall!" said Gratia Fielding, to herself, "or I will know the reason why." She went directly to No. 40 Falcon Court, a dingy neighborhood, full of dismal red-brick houses and piteous, lit tle stores, when- nobody ever seemed to come, and inquired her way to Miss Dupont's room. "I have come from Madam Plume jeau," said she. "She wants you to I make mc a piece of lioniton lace, in the Bermuda lily pattern, exactly like Miss ; Evcrly's new bonnet, and to trim one i precisely like hers." Estelle Dupont, a pallid, slender, old voung woman, shrank back. " It is quite impossible," said she. "But I must have it!" persisted ! Gratia. Estelle pointed to the bed, where lay < a yellow-faced little Frenchwoman, with | large, fever-bright eyes, her head inov | iug restlessly to and fro. I "That makes no difference," said Gratia. "You can be working while you sit at her bedside." j "A piece of pillow lace like that de- I mantis time, mademoiselle," pleaded J poor Estelle. ' "Well, you've got time enough. I could do it myself if I only had the knack. There are two days and three nights yet. And if you don't choose to oblige mc, why, there's an end of your engagement with Madame Plumeje&u." j Which was a considerable stretching ! of facts; but Gratia knew that a power- i fill lever was needed to attain her object, I and did not stick at a lie. Poor Estelle wrung her hands. Madam Plume jeau had already advanced three ' weeks' salary to her ; she was by far too ' autocratic a personage to be disobliged, and yet the dying mother, who would scarcely be content unless Estelle's hand was in hers all the time "If you could only wait a few days, 1 mademoiselle!" she pleaded, piteously. "Wait, indeed! when it is for an; Easter bonnet!" cried Gratia, irnpu ' tiontlv. "llow unreasonable you work- ! ing people arc! No, I must have it on j Sunday morning without fail—and it niut be an exact duplicate of Miss I Evcrly's. I want to look my very best on Sunday morning, and I want to see ; how amazed that haughty heiress will be when she sees nic wearing the very copv | of her exclusive Paris i ca. You will ; promise it to me ! You must promise it !" "If I can possibly get it done!" "But you must!" repeated Gratia, with a little stamp of the foot, "or lose your place at Madam Plutnejcau's. Do you understand? "I think," she exultantly told herself, as she went down the narrow wooden stairs, "that I've got the screws on her at last. That idea of losing her place | seems to terrify her out of her senses, | and thanks to that sick woman, she can't have any opportunity of interviewing the | Plumejcau before Easter." But life's strands are braided together wtth an exactness th.it defies all estimate; and it chanced that the very next visitor to old Madam Dupont's sick room was —Ethel Everly herself. She came on Saturday afternoon, with j a bunch of spice-sweet lilies in her i hand "How is Annette?" said she—for Madam Dupont had once been her mother's maid. "Why. Estelle, what arc you doing ? Not at work—with your | mother so dreadfully ill ?" Estelle looked up from the lac.c pillow j with dim, tear swollen eyes. 'Mademoiselle will excuse my rising," said she. "Its an order that must be i done, or I lose my place." Miss Everly looked at her a minute, then she drew tlie lace j. illow away with ' gentle but despotic hands. " Estelle," said she, "you are commit ting suicide. Besides your mother needs you. What does all this mean ? I insist upon knowing '." The French girl told the whole story, I and showed Miss Fielding's card. "This is where it is to be sent," said I she. "She wants it to be an exact j 1 duplicate of yours." I "Indeed?" Ethel shrugged hei • j shoulders. "It shall be better thnD I that. It shall be the bonnet itself. 1 • will send it around to Miss Fielding. 1 would just as soon wear some othei bonnet. One has something else to think i of on Easter morning than a new bonnet. Put up } our work, Estelle; your nijthci needs you, beyond all other duty. I will make it right with Madam Plume jeau!" Gratia Fielding wore the beautiful bonnet to church on Easter—the bonnet for which, as we may as well mention, she had no idea at all of paying—and secretly exulted to see that Miss Everly I had on a pretty little confection of white and violets, that she hud actually worn three consecutive Sundays before. I "If I were an heiress, I should do very differently!" thought she, contempt j uously. But the next day Colonel Mayfield called on his young friend, Harold Hart wick. I "Harry," said he, "I happen to own J a tenement house in Falcon Court. I was there to day. A poor old French | woman has just died in the house, and ! Ethel Everly was there, watching over | her, like an angel of mercy. The daughter, an overworked young railli | ner, told me the prettiest of stories— j how Miss Everly had even sacrificed the i glories of a new Easter bonnet to secure : Estelle's time and strength for the sick bed. "And that, you know," he added, with a satirical smile, "is a great deal for a young woman to do. And who do you suppose the merciless fine lady was who would have kept a fellow-creature from her mother's death bed to feed her own silly vanity? None other than Miss Gratia Fielding!" It seemed as if the very stars in their courses fought against Gratia. Madam Plume jeau herself somehow heard of the story, and hastened to bear indignant witness against the part that had been so unjustly ascribed to her— and old Mrs. llartwick came to sec poor Estelle in her trouble. For Mrs. llartwick wasoueof madam's best customers, and had never trusted any one but Estelle to make up her Quakerish little bonnets for her. "Harry," said Mrs. llartwick, to her son, as he came into her drawing-room that evening, "does Miss Everly care for you—especially, I mean." "What a strange question, mother!" he answered, evasively. " What makes you think of it ?" "If I thought she did care for me, mother—" Mrs. Halt wick laid her hand tenderly on Harold's arm "Go and ask her yourself, llprold," said she. " Were you a prince of the realm, you could win no sweeter wife." And Harold llartwick, being an obedient son, did as he was told ; and so the young people became engaged. No bill was ever sent in for the pretty piece of Honiton lace and the white rosebuds that Gra*ia Fielding wore on that Easter morning; and yet she knew in her sacred heart that it was the dearest bargain she had ever made. | "I wish I never had seen the horrid | thing!" said she. "It has brought i me nothing but ill luek from beginning to end!" Big Ship With a Big Belt. I l'p to the recent launching of the British battle ship ltoyal Sovereign, the l Italians had possessed the largest war ships, the Italia and her mates, each I being credited with a displacement of 13,900 gross tons. The latest addition to the British line has a displacement estimated at 14,150 tons, thus slightly outweighing the rival craft. A radical I difference exists, however, in the theory | of construction, the British ship having a protective belt of armor, with steel face and iron back on the compound system, the same with a maximum thick ness of eighteen inches, while the big craft of the Italian fleet have not any i outside protection. At the first blush, i it would appear that, in point of endur ! ance, the odds would be largely with ' the British ship, but first-class naval authorities arc not by any means agreed ! that side armor is efficacious, for since J even the six-inch rifle at short range J can pierce the heaviest armor that can be floated, there is a likelihood that shells will break through and explode, unshipping the guns and demoralizing the crew, while in the case of unpro tected sides it is likely to cut its way clear through the ship and explode harmless ly in the water.—[Scientific American. "Friendship Tablecloths." The idea of a "friendship tablecloth" comes from England. Such a cloth is a small affair used at five-o'clock teas. The centre of ecru linen is encircled by a broad border of linen canvas. On this canvas ground various friends of the owner are asked to embroider their in itials in silk, crewels or cottons, as suits their fancy, interlacing the letters or making them separate. The result is a sort of harlequin effect in coloring and style, which, like a well-made crazy rpiilt, has some pleasant surprises in color. But do not imagine this is all "'#it and miss" work ; nothing in needle work requires the exercise of good taste more than a well-made piece of crazy work; so each person who embroiders her initials on this rather foolish "friendship tablecloth" must choose her colors and the style of her monogram or initials so as to make it appear at the best advantage and produce a hafmonious whole.—[ New York Tribune. Pineapple Culture. The cultivation of the pineapple is at tracting much attention in Florida and experiments made arc proving very pro fitable. A correspondent of the Florida Dispatch from Indian Kiver writes that he has altogether about forty five acres, twenty-five of which are fruiting. He says: "I received in round numbers $1,400 for the apples off two acres and sold off the same land S3OO in plants; and the prospect is as good for this year as last, if not better. Some of my plants arc very old and they do not make much fruit, not more than S2OO to $250 per acre. So with me they net from S2OO to S7OO per acre." It is belieVed by some who are familiar with this industry that it can be carried on just as successfully in the warmer portions of this Slate as in Florida. A PRACTICAL JOKE.

Engagements Dangerously Eav— The Way Boer Ladies Press—The Ostrich Industry—Hunting Lions. You have, of course, never seen a young Boer of South Africa when he goes wooing, but he cuts quite a con spicuous figure. Custom demands that he rig himself out in a particular cos tume when lie goes upon a courting expedition, llis costume consists of a neat-fitting pair of corduroy breeches, fine, black cloth coat and vest, display ing an immense expanse of frilled shirt front, a nice pair of gaiters covers his feet, and an immensely large hat with high pointed crown, rests firmly set on his head. He must mount a black horse, using a brand new saddle. Ar riving at the house where he expects to make a conquest, he is cordially invited in, where he joins in conversa tion on current topics with the rest of the household until bedtime, wheu all retire to rest excepting young Adonis and his inamorata. The former being supplied with a pipe and an abundance of tobacco, the two are conducted to an apartment by themselves. Hgye they sit as far apart as possible and silently con template each other. Meanwhile Adonis fills the room with clouds of smoke from his pipe. After a lapse of several hours spent in this manner the wooer takes courage and says: "Gretchen, gy wetek hevt gy bynje leif"—(Margaret, you know I love you dearly)—and she replies with a simple 4i Ya." Another spell of silence, until toward morning he asks the momentous question: "Gretchen, will gy mcin vrouw warden?" (Mar garet, will you be my wife?) The answer is again "Ya." Nothing more is said until the family assembles for breakfast, when the preliminaries are settled and the wedding day set. Bather too platonic away of courting, I fancy, to suit the tastes of youug America. The Boers do not have long engage ments. They last three months at the most, during which time the young couple may be seen walking in public hand in hand or riding together. The Boer ladies are great horsewomen, using a man's saddle on which they sit side ways (if in a country, they assume a man's position 011 the horse), balancing themselves with perfect ease and grace. The wedding is a sccue of rejoicing and genuine festivities. The ceremony is lirst performed at the magistrate's office, and then at the church follows the re ligious exercises in the presence of a few friends. After church the party adjourns to the house of the bride's father, ap proaching which may bo seen, in addition to the church party, a long line of carts and men 011 horseback, galloping and tearing along in wild disorder, singing, drinking and playing musical instru ments, everybody being more or less under the influence of intoxicants. Ar riving at the house, feasting, drinking and dancing are indulged iu until the morning sun breaks in, revealing and dispersing a motley group of haggard, weary and headachy revelers. The Boers are, as a rule, good dancers. Besides a variety of square aud round dances they excel in step dancing, the Irish jigs and sailors' hornpipe being favorites. The ladies are handsome, tall and of good figure ; inclined, however, towards corpulency at middle age. Blue eyes and light hair predom inate. Feet and hands arc large. The ladies' dress is a fantastic style. A Boer young lady considers a dress of five or six colors, a headgear in which are blended the most startling contrasts — green, yellow, red, brown, etc.—with a handkerchief to match, tied over the face to serve as a veil, de rigucur. The cliruate being always moderate, they dress in lignt garments and seldom wear stockings. A Boer young lady is u flirt. Many are the simple blandishments she uses to bring her beau to her feet. A very slight marked attention on his part may be construed into something far more serious that he intended, and the unlucky swuin may have a big brother or cousin to settle with before he is aware. Your correspondent once, at a dancing party, showed some attention to a young lady—a 200-poundcr, but a splendid dancer—by dancing with her above the average times usually allotted to mere friends. After that she entirely appropriated him, until lete in the even ing, wishing to escape her, he made his way out of the house and lay down in one of the wagons. Being somewhat fatigued he fell asleep. However, the fair damsel was not to be outdone or so easily eluded, and on waking up he found her seated on the wagon quietly waiting his awaking. Not being inclined to enter into the holy stale of matrimony at that time and wishing to avoid any trouble, he discovered that a trip to an other part of the country would be very beneficial to his health. [Atlanta Con stitution. Depression of Agriculture. The working force in the United States is about twenty-three millions, with ion millions engaged in agriculture; with sixteen billions capital invested. I think it would be safe to say, maintains C. W. Carpenter, that the profits hardly pay for the labor, leaving nothing for the use of the land, for keeping up the buildings, fences, machinery, teams, taxes, insurance, etc. From 1870 to 1875 the average value of tiu acre of wheat was $111.00; corn in 1870 $15.54, in 1881) $7.03; wheat in 1880 $7.03. while the acre value of the oat crop has dropped in twenty years from $12.78 to $7.24. The average yield in bushels has varied but a trifle. Is the depression from scarcity of money, high freights, gambling or overpro duction ? For the last twenty years the popula tion has increased sixty-six per cent., while the grain crops, in fact, nearly all farm crops, have increased, on the aver age, over one hundred per cent.; thus production has outstripped population from thirty-live to forty per cent. Like wise, we And a decline in values from thirty-five to forty per cent.,not including the short crops of 1830. It is plain, if we could cut down production thirty-flvc or forty per cent., we should get as g< o 1 prices as we did from 1870 to 1875, when a small sujplus was raised, which was readily taken by tlie foreign demand. Our surplus lias been crowded onto foreign markets, depressing prices all over the world. Why this overproduc tion ? A great many farmers arc deeply in volved in debt; every nerve is strained to produce niouey crops to live, pay taxes and high interest, with the ulti mate hope of lifting the mortgage; while those who are not in debt, are forced into increased production by low prices, in order to keep out of debt and keep their heads above water. The harder they work, the more they pro duce, and the less they get. It is like struggling in a mire of quicksand; the more you struggle the deeper you get.
