POETICAL. c Os 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. AGRICULTURAL. c oo 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.

No family should be a single day 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. [Scientific American. 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. ♦ ♦ Brogue Anns come from Ireland.
