UNAWAKENED.
Under a linden
Reclineth a maid,
Her eyes are blue harebells
That glow in the shade;
Her brow the white lily,
Her cheeks the blush rose,
Her mouth it is dainty,
And classic her nose.
Her face is a dreamy one,
Guile’ess of care,
Her coronet woven
Of braids of blight hair,
The slight girlish fingers
Were ne’er passion prest,
And lips of kin only
Her lips have carest.
Like the blooms of Australia
That gorgeously pine,
Till their Maker shall grant them
An odor divine,
Her heart in its slumber
Unwilling doth wait,
Till the fairy prince cometh
Unto his estate.
Heaven knows ’tis entrancing
That first sip of wine.
When the brimming cup presses
Such red lips as thine.
But the muses have willed
That tliis rhyme shall not stop
Till it warns you the sparkle
Is all on the top I
One bliss-burdened hour,
One breath of the rQse,
One glimpse otthe river
That Edenward flows ;
Yet eternity never *
Can duplicate this,
Whatever its fashion
And the measure of bliss.
We shall know without asking,
Sweet one. of tie day
WTien the prince and attendants
Sha’ 1 happen this way.
Lips catch such a quiver,
And innocent eyes
Grow nervously happy
And wondrously wise.
The bright braids unthreaded
Will fall by your cheeks,
To hide the hot flame
That unwarranted speaks.
You will hum little ditties
Of love and despair,
And read simple stories
Of heroines fair.
You will dress in white muslin
And stand at the gate
With pearls in your lashes—
Pale jewels of Fate ,
It one through the gloaming
Comes lingering late.
The household will miss you
On moonlighted eves,
But a tattling bird builds
In the thick arbor leaves I
Perhaps, and perhaps not,
It is a good thing,
One can’t make a girl
In the joy of her spring
Believe that the rainbow
Which arches the sky
Is made of old pieces,
Imperfect in dye!
Adieu, mn belle hoeur,
Heaven keep you from harm,
With your lotus-like eyes
And your heart young and warm ;
The king’s son will seek you,
Life’s meaning increase,
Heights of joy, depths of g.ieving,
But never more, peace.
LAUGHOGRAMS.
UK
Autumn leaves—when winter comes
in.
The fashions of one year are the follies
of the next.
Comparison—Get on, get honor, get
honest.
He who brags of his descent is not
apt to be decent.
A whisper is forbidden in society, be
cause it isn’t a’oud.
Chairs should not be covered with
silk, because they must be sat-in.
Maiden vain—A lady that thinks she’s
pretty.
“How does your husband get along ?”
asked a neighbor of an undertaker’s
wife.
“Nothing to complain of; he had
twelve funerals yesterday, thanks be to
goodness.”
A young man who had just returned
from a sequestered village to the city,
declared that ’tw r as so still at night in the
country tavern where he boarded that
you could hear a bed tick.
“Uncle James, won’t yon perform
some of those juggling tricks for us, to
night, that you learned while you were in
China?”
“No, my deal-said he, “I am not in
the vein.”
“What vein, uncle ?”
“Why the juggler’s vein, to be
sure.”
The way John Stuart proposed to the
lady who became his wife, it is “strange
but true.”
“I wish I had your head, Mr. Stuart,”
said the lady, on an occasion when that
gentleman had just solved a very knotty
question.
“And I wish I had your heart,” said
he.
“Well,” said the lady, “since your
head and mv heart agree so well, I
am willing that we should go into part
nership.”
And it was so.
Don’t loaf about the streets, and de
pend on the lord for your daily bread,
He isn’t running a bakery.

ADVICE TO YOUNG FAEMEES.
What I want to say to any young far
mer reader, says the author of Walks
and Talks about the Farm, is this: Make
up your mind to steadily improve the
condition of your land; kill the weeds;
underdrain; grow more clover, peas and
roots, and consume them all on the farm.
Make more and better manure. Buy
bran to feed out. Sell timothy hay, if
need be, but never sell clover hay. Se
straw whenever it is worth half as muc
per ton as bran. Study the chemistry
of manures. There are many places
where ertifici al fertilizers can be used to
great advantage. Improve your stock;
feed liberally. Raise a few thorough
breds, and gradually work your way into
the business; but do not be in a hurry.
Set out choice fruit trees, and take care
*of them. Spend moderately. Live with
in your income. Do not discount your
prospects. And again I say, kill the
weeds. Cultivate the land thoroughly.
Make the weed seeds grow, and then kill
the young plants. I feel sure that the
young farmer that follows this advice
will not have to wait many years before
getting his reward. I look upon it as
absolutely certain that we shall get good
prices for farm produce in the near fu
ture. I fear we shall get extravagantly
high prices. I fear still few
farmers will profit by them. Prices nev
er have been and never' can be high
enough to make poor farming profitable.
You must get your land in good condition
now, and thus be ready to avail yourself
of the high prices when they come—as
come they will.
HORSEBACK RIDING EOR CONSUMP
TIVES.
Dio Lewis, in U To-Day,” has this to
say to consumptives:
I know of nothing more certain in the
cure of disease than is the saddle in the
cure of incipient consumption. I have
known a good many consumptives who
were past the incipient stifle, and not a
few who had large ulcers in their lungs
and who were expectorating largely, and
not a few, again, who were greatly ex
hausted with night sweats, who have
been restored by the saddle.
Dr. N., a physician, my life long friend,
had given it up, and was simply waiting
for the end. Returning from a long ab
sence I found my friend dying. I insis
ted upon the saddle. He whispered that
he could not even sit up in a chair. I
urged that it must be tried. I offered
to lift him into the saddle and support
him while he rode. After many misgiv
ings, the doctor consented to the trial.
In a week he could ride half a mile if
supported. In a month he could ride
three or four miles on a walk, without sup
port. Within three months he left home
alone to ride to the Mississippi. He re
turned to his home in eight months, able
to ride forty miles in a day. Now, after
years, he is a hale, hearty man, doing a
large business in his profession, with no
departures from a perfect condition, ex
cept that where there were three large
ulcers, there are now scars, and so in
those parts there is imperfect breathing.
The one remedy which will never fail
in incipient consumption is the saddle,
and I advise a trial in all those cases
which have made considerable progress,
and even in those desperate cases where
life seems ready to depart. I wont give
up a case where the patient is willing to
try the saddle.
Eggs. —Fresh eggs, according to the
Prairie Farmer, afford great nourishment
to the weak animals. It tells of a colt
which, to all appearances, was nearly
dead, the breath of life being barely per -
ceptible, which was almost instantly re
vived by giving'it one or two fresh eggs.
The same results have attended the ad
ministering of eggs to weak cattle and
to feeble, weak lambs. The remedy is a
simple one, and farmers would do well
to bear it in mind.

THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT.
Olaf Roemer, an eminent Danish as
tronomer, while observing the eclipses
of Jupiter’s satelites, in 1676, found that
light occupied about sixteen minutes and
twenty-six seconds in passing through
the diameter of the earth’s orbit, and as
suming the distance of the earth from
the sun to be nearly 96,000,000 miles, he
determined the velocity of light to be
192,600 miles in a second.
In 1723, Bradley, an English astrono
mer, discovered the aberration of light
and determined its velocity to be 191,513
miles per second.
In 1849, Mr, Fizeau invented an ap
paratus for measuring the velocity of
light between terrestrial stations, and
determined it to be 194,677 miles a sec
ond.
Quite recently, Mr. Fizeau has pub
lished the particulars of a long series of
experiments made between stations about
six miles apart, using the rays from a
oxyhydrogen light; and he gives as the
mean of 650 good observations, a veloci
ty of 186,363 miles per second. The
result obtained by Roemor is usually
given in text books, and, in fact, is com
monly quoted as the correct velocity of
light. But the close agreement of the
more recent researches of MM. Foucault
and Fizeau, and the elegant methods
used by these philosophers in their re
searches, render it nearly certain that
the velocity of light in the air is between
185,177 and 186,363 miles per second.

CALLING NAMES.
An attorney once brought an action
against a farmer for having called him a
rascally “lawer.” An old husbandman
being a witness, was asked if he heard
the man call him a lawyer.
“I did,” was the reply.
“Pray,” says the judge, “what is your
opinion of the import of the word?”
“There can be no doubt of that,” re
plied the fellow.
“Why, good man,” said tlte judge,
“ there is no dishonor in the name, is
there?”
“I know nothing about that,” answer
ed he, “ but this I do know, if any man
called me a ‘lawer’ I’d knock him down.”
“Why, sir,” said the judge, pointing to
one of the counsel, “that gentleman is a
lawyer, and that, and that, and I too am
a lawyer.”
“No, no,” replied the fellow; “no, my
lord, you arc a judge, I know; but you
are not a ‘lawer,’ I’m sure.”
There is a man who keeps a list of all
the banks in the country, so as to be
able to say that he keeps a bank account.
