Under the Daisies.
I have just been learning the lesson of iile.
The sweet, sad lesson of loving,
And all that it leaches for pleasure or pain,
Been sadly, slowly proving,
And all that is left of the glittering dream
And its thousand brilliant phases
Is a handful of dust—a coffin lid—
A coffin under the daisies.
And so I am glad that we lived as we did
Through the summer of life together,
And that one of us tired and lay down
to rest
Ere the coining of winter weather.
For the naiW»»io lovwis its growing cold;
Yet ’tis one of its surest phases;
801 thsnk my God with a breathing heart
Far the coffin under the daises.
And thus forever throughout the world
Is love a sorrow proving.
There arc many «orrowful things in life,
But the saddest of all is loving.
Lite often divides far wider than death,
And fortune a strong wall raises,
But better far than two hearts estranged
Is a coffin under the daisies.

One of the pioneers in the California
emigration, who went across the plains
in 1848, tells this story, that began on
the journey and has just ended in San
Francisco. While the train of which
the narrator, now in Nevada, was a
member, was encamped at a point on
the Humboldt where the Lessen train
intellects the Carson track of travel, he
the tent of a family consisting
elderly couple and one child, a
ter of 14 or 15. The old lady
was sitting on a pile of blankets under
the canvas, encouraging a most deter
mined attack of the “ sulks,” while the
masculine head of affaire had planted
himself on the wooden tongue, and was
sucking his pipe as though he expected
to remain theref orever.
A single glance developed the diffi
culty in that little train of one wagon
and three persons, and that it had at
tained a point of quiet desperation be
yond the reach of peaceful adjustment.
Three days before they had pitched
their tent at the folks of the road, and
as they could not agree upon the rout*
by which to enter California, there
they had remained. The husband had
expressed a preference for the Carson
road, and the wife for the Lessen, and
neither would yield. The wife de
clared she would remain all winter;
the husband said he would be pleased
to prolong the sojourn through the
summer following.
On the morning of the fourth day
the wife broke a sudden silence of
thirty-six hours by proposing a divis
ion of the property, which consisted of
two yoke of oxen, one wagon, camp
furniture, a smnll quantity of provis
ions, and 812 iu silver. The proposal
was accepted; and forthwith the
plunder” was divided, leaving the
wagon to the old man, and the daugh
ter to the mother. The latter exchang
ed with a neighboring train the cattle
belonging to her for a pony and a pack-
saddle, and piling her dauphter and
her portion of the divided spoil upon
the animal, she resolutely started across
the desert by the Lessen train, while
the old man silently yoked his cattle
and took the other route.
Of course, both parties reached Cal
ifornia in safety. We say “of course,”
for it is scarcely posable that any ob
stacle, death included, could have in
terfered with stubbornness so sublime.
Arriving in Sacramento, with her
daughter, the old lady readily found
employment—for women were less
plentiful than now—and subsequently
opened a boarding-house, and in a few
years amassed a handsome fortune.—
Two years ago she went to San Fran
cisco, and the daughter, whose educa
tion had not been neglected, was mar
ried to one of the most substantial citi
zens.
And what had become of the old
man ? The wife had not seen or heard
of him since they parted on the Hum
boldt They had lived unhappily togeth
er for years, and she sometimes re
proached herself for so long a pilgrim
age together. But he was not dead.
We cannot trace his course in Califor
nia, however. All that we know of
him is, that fortune had not smiled
upon him, and that for years he had
toiled without hope. Finally, feeling
unable longer to wield the pick and
shovel, he visited San Francisco in
hope of obtaining employment better
adapted to his wasted strength.
For three months he remained idle
after arriving there, and then for want
of occupation, became the humble re
tailer of peanuts and oranges, with his
entire traffic upon his arm. This was
six months ago. A few weeks Bince,
in passing the open door of a cottage
in the southern part of the city, he ob
served a lady in the hall, and stopped
to offer liis merchandise. As he step
ped upon the. threshold the lady ap
proached and the old man raised his
eyes and dropped his basket, and no
A census-taker going his round,
stopped at an elegant brick dwelling
house, the exact locality of which is no
business of anybody. He was received
by a stiff, well-dressed lady, who could
well be recognized as a widow of some
years standing. On learning the mis
sion of her visitor, the lady invited him
to take a seat in the hall. Having ar
ranged himself in a working position,
he inquired for the number of persons
in the family of the lady. “Eight,
sir,” replied the lady, “ including my
self.”
“ Very well—your age, madam?”
“My age, sir!” replied the lady,
with a piercing, dignified look,
conceive it is none of your business
what my age might be; you are inquis
itive, sir.”
“ The law compels me, madam, to
take the age of every person in the
ward; it’s my duty to make the inqui
ry.”
“Well,if the law compels youtoask,
I presume it compels me to answer,
am between thirty and forty.”
“ I presume that means thirty-five ?”
“ No, sir, it means no such thing—
I a nr only thirty-three years of age.
“ Very well, madam,” putting down
the figures, “just as you say. Now
for the ages of the children, coffimeno-
ing with the youngest, if you please.”
“ Josephine—pretty name—ten.”
“ Minerva was twelve last week.”
“ Minerva—captivating—twelve.”
“Cleopatra Elvira has just turned
fifteen.”
Cleopatra Elvira—charming—fif
teen.”
Angelina is eighteen—just eight
een.”
“ Angelina—favorite name—eight
een.”
My eldest and only married daugh
ter, Anne Sophia, is a little over
twenty-five.”
Twenty-five did you say ?”
Yes, sir. Is there anything re
markable in her being of that age?”
Well, no, I can’t say that there is;
but is it not remarkable that you
hould be her mother when you were
only eight years of age ?”
About that time the census-taker was
observed running out of the house. It
was the lost time he pressed a lady to
give her exact age.

A good story of the early days of
Wyoming territory:—In the bar-room
of a wayside tavern, where the stage
stopped to change horses, and where
teamsters tarried to drink, a few rough
customers tarried one afternoon beside
the stove. Enter a mountain ruffian,
venomously drunk, who fetched out his
revolver and commenced practicing it
at the various objects behind the bar
and on the walls. While this was
going on the cries of an ox-teamster to
his approaching cattle were heard, and
soon the driver appeared within the
door. Stalking up to the bar', he cal
led for a glass of liquor; but, as he
raised it to his dirty lips the tumbler
was shattered by a well-aimed shot
from the practicing man’s revolver
Without a word the bull-whacker put
his hand right behind his back, pro
duced his pistol, leveled it at the ruf
fian’s head, and remarked as the body
dropped to the floor,“That d—d scoun
drel would have hurt somebody pretty
soon.”—He then filled another glass
and drank the contents, strode oat as
deliberately as he had come in, and
with a “Whoa, haw, there,” started
his oxen up the road.
The Farmer's Wife.—Is there
any position a mbtfcer can covet for her
daughter more glorious than to be the
wife of an honest farmer, in a country
like this? To be the wife of one who
ia looked upon by the neighbors as one
whose example maybe safely followed
—one whose farm is noted far and near
as a model of neatness and perfection
of cultivation ? To be mistress of a
mansion of her own, that may be the
envy of every passer by, because it is
neat and comfortable—a sweet and
lovely cottage home. To be the an
gel that flits through the garden, bid
ding the flowers bloom, and twining
While many people are disposed to
think that the London Conference was
not only proposed by Count Bismarck
for the peaceful settlement of the Black
Sea question, but as a fresh proof of
the amicable feeling entertained by the
Berlin Cabinet toward this country,
the Russian national press overflows
with bitter animosity toward Germany,
accussing her of leaning more and more
every day to the interests of tho West
of Europe, and ready to give a violent
blow at the policy of Russia in the Or
iental question. The loudest bawler
on this subject is, of course, the Mos
cow Gazette, which for some time past
has been assuring its readers as a posi
tive act that Count Bismarck has been
talked over by the persuasive eloquence
of Mr. Odo Russell, at Versailles, into
a promise of supporting the English'
policy in the East; that Roumania is
to be immediately separated from Tur
key, and that that important frontier
State is to be given to and incorpora
ted with the Austrian dominions as a
compensation for the entrance of the
South German States into the new em
pire. Assertions and strictures of a
similar tendency are to be found in
abundance in all the other organs of
the national party, as if the mot d’ordre
had been given to work out the idea in
every conceivable shape, and tho time
had gone by for speaking of Prussia
and Germany in amicable terms. The
endeavor of the Moscow Gazette to re
present Prince Gortchakoffi’s note as
having been misused by Count Bis
marck in the interests of Germany,
cnd wi-having tatfn aft evolution-to
wards the English policy in the East,
has at length taken root and begins to
create a want of confidence and lively
distrust of all the intrigues that are be
ing concoctked at Versailles and Berlin.
In the present excited state of the na
tional party in this country with regard
to the Eastern question and everything
directly or indirectly connected with it,
the alleged impending cession of the
Danubian Principalities to Austria,
and the rumors of the declaration of
the independence of Roumania, as well
as the amicable language of Count Bis
marck’s dispatch to Vienna, have not
failed to created an intense sensation
and to give rise to an uncomfortable
feeling of insecurity and doubt, that
finds a responsive expression in the
patriotic articles met with daily in the
The conference on the Euxine
question is looked upon here as the
touchstone of Prussia’s future policy
and conduct towards this country, and
the result is expected with more than
usual curiosity and excitement, while
it is considered by all parties as an Ut
ter impossibility that Russia should
make even the most trifling concession
to obtain a pacific solution of the prob
lem. It is a very long time since the
attention of our politicians has been ab
sorbed so much by foreign policy and
our relation with other countries as at
present, and even the preliminary steps
that are being taken for the introduc
tion of the new law of conscription are
not so much ventilated in the press
and in political circles as they were
three weeks ago. That the Germans
are working in secret at some plan for
establishing their preponderance on a
firm footing is considered here as an
incontrovertible feet ever since Lorenz
Stein pointed out at Vienna the danger
to which Austria would be exposed by
the Russian dominion of the Rlack Sea
in a long article, to which a masterly
reply and complete refutation was writ
ten by our academician, W. Besobni-
soff. It must, however, be remarked
that the Russian press are so accustom
ed to exaggerate and cook their intelli
gence with Attic salt before serving it
up to their readers that it is scarcely
to be wondered at the public should be
deceived into the belief of even such
improbable fictions as CountBismarck’s
alleged intention of transferring Rou
mania to Austria; or, as was not long
ago asserted here, of Roumania being
augmented at the expense of Austri

them each a copy of the New Testa
ment in the Chinese language, which
most of them can read. Before pres
enting them he made a short address, nes9,
referring to their having come to us
from the other side of the globe, from
the oldest of the nations to us the

Bible upon our nation, invited them
to take it as their guide and help to ad
vance still more our civilization, and
when they sentmessages to their friends,
or should tlieouelves revisit them, he
asked that they would commend it
to them as .the book which could not
only make a youthful nation great, but
a hoary nation young. They listened
with profound silence, and Charlie
Sing replied very briefly: “We wish
thpnk you, and through you the Bible
society, for the kind gift of the Word of
God. We will mad them and hope
they will do us all good.” He repea
ted this tq his countrymen in their lan

Editor farmer ami Artisan:—I pre
sume that many of your readers, like
the mass of mankind, still need “line
upon line” in regard to the important
subject of butter-making. It must be
admitted that, generally, in Georgia
we do not, and, as yet cannot, make
as good summer butter as the dairy
men North, because we have not the
spring-houses, abundant and cheap ice,
and good pastures. But wc can make
as good winter butter as can be made
anywhere, summer or winter.
The essentials are, a good cow, good
feed, good sense, attention and cleanli-
I believe strongly in blood, in
beasts as wolj as in men, but I believe
that a good, properly selected, native
cow, considering price, size, quantity
of feed, etc., will generally prove more
profitable than blooded stock. Select
then, a cow with a small head and
horns, mild eyes, thin neck and should
ers, but deep from spine to brisket,
large barrel, straight back, very large
quarters, and an udder that does not
hang down, nor have large teats, but
that shows broad behind, pi ns well for-
word on the belly, with small, short,
outstanding teats, and large, corded
looking milk veins. All colors are
good, except mixed black and white.
The feed must be in proportion to the
size of the cow, but the special feed for
rich, yellow butter in winter, that
needs no carrot juice for coloring, is
steamed comjjfade fodder. Nohay that
was ever cured can compare with good
corn fodder. (It is surprising, but
true, tlmt, os a rule, the farmer who
has plenty of cattle, plenty of grain and
plenty of forage, supplies his family
worse with milk and butter than the
thrifty villager or town resident, who
buys all his corn-fodder). Cut the
fodder in any kind of machine, or tear
it up; put six to eight pounds in a bar
rel, pour boiling water on it, cover with
a blanket, and feed this quantity in
two feeds, night and morning, in a
trough always kept clean and sweet,
sprinkling the fodder at each feeding
time, with three or four pounds of fine
aM a table-spoonful of salt The
fine feed prepare thus: Grind to
gether five bushels of peas, and two
bushels of wheat-bran. This will
well feed a medium-sized native four
months. Give the cow, in addition to
the steamed fodder, whatever shucks
or coarse hay she will eat clean, and
keep her at night and bad weather in
her stall, and in a yard in the day.
By all means avoid turnips and cotton
seed, though occasionally a few carrots
or sweet potatoes are not objectionable.
I have never used cotton-seed meal,
but that may perhaps rep’ace half the
corn and peas, if not too high priced.
A good native, weighing six to seven
hundred pounds gross, with such feed
seems to have been quite inoperative.
XVe composted cotton seed and fowl-
house manure last year, and kept the
mass wet with slops from the house
fully six months, and u]K>n opening the
bulk, we found a very large proportion
of the seed not only unrotted, but as
white as when we buried them. The
proof of the waste that our old mode of
using cotton seed occasions has been
amply furnished by the experiments
of Mr. Van Duson, of DeKalb county.
That gentleman demonstrated by
actual trial, that five bushels of crushed
cotton seed make a difference of seven
teen bushels cf corn in an acre’s pro
duction, and four hundred pounds of
seed on an acre of cotton. The results
not only exceed anything of record, in
that line of experiment, but prove be
yond all dubiety that iu our usual mode
of applying cotton seed to our crops
wc waste or misapply a very large pro
portion of one of the very best manures
know to agriculture.—Plantation.

Something about Bread-Making.
A subject that interests everybody Is
that of bread making, and, as a gener
al thing, there is too much popular ig
norance respecting it. In the process
of grinding wheat for superfine flour,
the outer shell, composed chiefly of
gluten, being tenacious and adhesive,
comes from the mill in flakes with the
bran, and is sifted out, while the starch
is pulverized and constitutes the fine
flour. Thus the starch, which is the
chief element in fine flour, is saved,
which contains no food for brain and
muscle; and the gluten, containing
phosphates and nitrates which furnish
support for brain, bone and muscle, is
cast away with the bran, and is fed to
horses, cattle, and pigs. And this in
the kind of flour that mokes nine-tenths
of the bread in American cities, besides
all that is used in cakes, puddings and
pastry.
A method of making bread from
whole wheat, without previously grind
ing it into flour, has been devised by a
Frenchman named Sezille. The grain
is first soaked in water for half an
hour; then put into a revolving cylin
der with a rough inside surface, and
shakoD-up? so as to remove tho coarser

The Haul—The mania for an appear
ance of abnndent hair, which has
attacked the modern female world,
seems not to have prevailed in Rome.
In this city false hair is rather the rule
than the exception; it takes the form
of chignons, braids, plats and what not.
The female head, which is really a pret
ty thing when you can see its shape, is
deformed by. accretions and agglom
erations. How long this absurdity of
fashion will last we cannot guess, for
fashion is a strange thing, and does not
change any the faster, but, indeed,
sometimes lasts the longer, by reason
of being ugly and offensive. Fashion | scalded chum, using the old-fashioned
can be made to give ten to twelve
quarts of rich milk duly, and the
cream will yield three to four pounds
of the richest golden butter every
week. My wife says it is an advan
tage to mix the milk of several cows,
and I don’t doubt it, but it is far bet
ter to keep one cow weD than half a
dozen in the common miserable style.
As soon as possible after milking,
strain the milk into shallow tin pans
that have just been taken out cf scalding
water, and set the milk pan inside an
other containing hot water, and cover
it up. Skim the cream off every day,
and put it into an earthen jar, kept
scrupulously clean, set near the fire if
very cold weather, and when the
cream is turned or soured, churn in a
part of the skin, and then soaked twen
ty or twenty-four hours more in water
of the temperature of 75 degrees Fah
renheit, with which a little yeast and
glucose has been mingled. By these
means the grain acquires a pasty,
doughy consistence, and can be mixed
up by machinery and made into bread
in the usual way. The invention is an
important one, both from its saving
the expense of grinding, and from the
greater economy of keep and transport
ing the whole grain instead of flour.
The Maryland Farmer gives the fol
lowing recipe for making a healthy
bread:
The most economical and best bread,
especially in cold weather, when a hot
fire is constantly kept, is what is some
times called gems, or unleavened bis
cuit For this purpose a group of cast-
iron pans or cups, 2J by 3J inches
each, all made in one casting, is used.
These pans are set on the top of a hot
stove, and allowed to become alpiost
smoking hot when buttered for use.—
Then with cold water and milk, half
and half, or with cold water alone, and
the colder the better, mix and stir
quickly with a stiff spoon as much Gra
ham or unbolted wheat meal as will
make a stiff batter or thmnish mush
and when the pons ore hot, fill them
quickly with the thin dough and let
them stand a minute on the stove be-
is the most irresistible of all forces; it
is stronger than even religion. It is
also the most unaccountable of all for
ces. You can seldom trace its origin;
you can never calculate its duration.
Inasmuch as fashion ought to be the
application of art to social life, it would
doubtless be an excellent thing if peo
ple of artistic capacity would condes
cend to “lead the fashion.” This has
been done by a mau—Count D’Orsay.
We do not think that any woman of the
tree type ha3 ever attempted it. If
only a lady, .who united high birth and
intellect, and a cultivated taste for the
beautiful, would take this matter in
hand, what a multitude of monstros
ities we might be spared.
An old maid says that marriage 13 like
any other disease—“while there's life
there’11 hope.”
Men will wrangle for religion; write
for it; fight for it; die for it; anything
