It ibtre no Kent pUoo M Uw bee of tbe earth
Where eharitydwalletb, where virtue hath birth?
Where In——* lo mercy end kind new will heave,
-> jtsd the poor end the wretched *h»U lit and re
wire ;
!• there no place on earth where • knock from the
WiUbrlng ■ kind angel to open the door ?
Ah ! itarch the wide werld wliereerer yon can,
There U no open door for a poor workingman '■
Go, look in yon ball, where the ch.-vulelier'a light,
Driers off with its splendor the darkness of night;
Where tbe rich hanging relret, in shadowy fold,
Sweeps gracefully down with ita trimming of gold,
And the mlrrora of ailecr take up and renew,
in loug lighted vistas, the wilderiug view—
Go there in your patches and find, if you can,
A welcoming smile for a poor workingman 1
Go, look In your ohurc'a of the cloud reaching
spire, ■"
Which gives bark to the sun his same look of red
fire;
Where the arches and columns are gorgeous within.
And the walls stem as pure as a soul without alu ;
Go down the long ais'e—see the rich and Hie great
In she pride and the pomp of their worldly estate—
Walk down in your patches, and find T you can,
Une who opens a pew to a poor workingman!
Go look to yon judge in his dark-fiowing gown,
With tbe scales wherein law weighs equity down.
Where he frowns ou the weak, and auii'eaon the
strong,
And punishes right, while he justifies wrung;
Where jurors their Ups ou tua Bible have laid,
Tn render a verdict they've already made—
Go there In the court ruou, and find, if you cao.
Any law for the cause of a poor workingman.
Go look In the banks, where Mammon has told,
11.a hundred of thousands of silver and gold ;
Where safe from tbe hands of the starving and
poor,
lien pile upon pile ef the glittering ore;
Walk up to the counter—ah : there you may slay
TUI yonr llmbegrow old and your hair turn gray.
And you'll find at tbe banks uo one of the clan
With money to lend to a poor workingman'.
Then go to your bevel,—no raven has led
The wife who has suffered too lung fur her bread ;
Kneel down to her pallet and kiss the death frost
From tbe lipe of the angel your poverty lost;
Then turn in your agony upward to God,
Atd bless while It smites you, the chastening rod ;
And you'll find at tbe end of your life's little span
There’s a welcome above for a poor workingman
THE WILLOW.
O, Willow, why forever weep,
Aa one who mourns an endless wrong ?
What bidden woe ran lie so deep?
What utter grief can last so long*
The Spring makes haste with step elate
Your life and beauty to renew ;
She even bids tbe roses wait,
i, Ami gives her first sweet care to you.
'-"he welcome red-breast folds liis wings
To pour Tor you his freshest strain;
To yon the earliest bluebirds sing,
’, Till all your light items thrill again.
The sparrow trills bis wedding song.
And trnstshls tender brood to you,
Fair Sowing vines tbe Sommer long,
With clasp and kiss, your beauty woo.
The sunshine drapes your limbs with light,
Tbe rain braids diamonds in your aair.
The breexc makes love to you at night—
Yet still you droop and still despair.
Beneath your boughs at fall of dew.
By lover's lips is softly told
Tbe tale that all the ages through
Has kept the world from growing old.
But still, though April's buds unfold,
Or Summer sees the earth sleaf,
Or Autumn pranks your robes with gold.
You away and sign in graeefu. grief.
Mourn ou forcTer, useonseled,
And keep your secret, faithful tree!
No heart in all tbe world can hold
A sweeter grace than constancy.
SMAy._Fmj.iTs on the Farm.—To
advise a farmer to grow small fruits
ior market, aqd at the same time carry
on his fanning operations, is something
we will not do. But there are hun
dreds and thousands of farmers who
have a natural taste for fruit-growing,
and to whom farming tins become a
drudgery—especially that class who are
not strong, to whom a change » de
sirable and necessary. To these we
would say, if yon are living within
three or four miles of a good home
market, and cities not far away by
rail or steamboat, a change to fruit
growing will be both profitable and
pleasaut. The first thing to do is to
rent out most of your land or let it out
on shares, reserving your home and
say ten to twenty acres of land for
your fruit-giowing operations, ani it
you have a love for the business, and
go at it systematically and energetical
ly, you will make more money from
ten acres of land than you have ever
made from vour farm, and that, too,
with less real hard work.
Plant only leading, of well-tried sorts,
that are hardy and productive, give
them good cultivation and plenty of
mulch, aud you will reap a larger re
ward; and, too, this kind of woik
makes less hard work for the women
folks, and, besides, supplies the table
with fruit daily throughout the year.
There are farmers who have no
likiug for growing fruit; but, as a rule,
these have sons or a son who have, and
who do not like farming. These are
very anxious to keep their sons on a
farm, away from the city. To such we
say let such a son have the use of a
few acres to grow small fruits; and the
longer he is engaged in it, the more he
will like it, and consequently his at
tachment for home strengthened, and,
too, bv this the table is supplied with
luxuries you would not dispense with
after one season’s experience. There
are so many inland towns not supplied
with fruit and vegetables that we ad
vise the readers of this paper to take
advantage of such openings.—Fruit

RED PEEPER AND POULTRY.
A lady c«r;espondent of the Poultry
Bulletin says: ‘I do not know if
othc persons who raise poultry aud pet
birds are as much dependent as I am
on red pepper; but I have found so
much benefit from its use in my poultry
{ ards and bird cages that it may not
e amiss to call the atteution of others
to its good properties. 1 do not speak
of the article that is sold in the drug
stores (and sometimes not remarkably
fresh) but of the capsicum that grows
in our gardens. I have tried all the
different varieties, and find that the
most pungent is the small kind usually
known by the name of ‘ bird’s pepper.’
The plant in itself is a very beautiful
object; it grows about two feet high,
and in autumn iu bright little scarlet
berries look like coral heads jteeping
from under the dark green foliage.
Indeed, one plant in a pot forms a very
pretty ornament for a flower stand.
The seeds possess a stimulating and
reviving property, and I find that two
or three given to newly hatched chick
ens, especially if they are weakly, have
n in. at happy effect. -If a hen looks
feeble after moulting, sis of those
berries or jtods given daily in some corn
.ueal and sweet milk improve her
wonderfully. Last summer two of my
finest canaries began to droop. Every
day I gave them waeh one seed of
‘.lurd’s pepper,’ and in less than a
Starting Sweet Potatoes.—
Sweet potatoes are started in a mod
erate hotbed or forcing-pit. When but
a small number of plants are wanted,
make a bed of fresh horse manure
twelve inches thick and two feet wide,
and longer than the frame to be used.
Then cover with three inches of old
rotten manure, put the frame in its
place, and spread in it two inches of
very light, sandy soil; rake level, and
place the tubers close together over the
surface. Small tuliers may be used
whole; large ones should he cut at once
lengthwise, and the cut side laid down.
Fine soil is then sprinkled over, aud
between the seed so that it is covered
about one iuch. Put the ashes on at
once, and keep the bed rather wet.
There is a little danger of keeping the
bed too warm as long as sprouts have,
not started; after these appear above
ground the bed lias to be filled up
aguin with two or three inches of fine
soil or mould. When the sprouts
have pierced through this layer plenty
of air lias to be given during the warm
days to make strong and thrifty plants.
In about five or six weeks from start
ing the sprouts are large enougli to be
separated from the tubers, and fit to
be planted out. After this is done
other sprouts will start which can be
pulled in a week or ten days. In this
way three or four crops of slips are
raised from tha same tubers. When
ashes arc not at hand and the plants
are not wanted early, frames covered
with muslin may be used instead, and
the whole covered with boards in cold
nights. The young plants are very
sensitive to cold, and should, there
fore, not he planted out before all
danger from frost is over.
Nature on the subject he says f “ The
spectroscopic evidence as to what may
be called the plasticity of the molecu
les of the metalloids, including of course
oxygen and nitrogen, but excluding hy
drogen, is so overwhelming that even
the absorption of iodine, although gene
rally it is transparent to violet light,
may (as I have found in a repetition of
Dr. Andrew’s experiments on the di-
chroism of iodine, in which I observed
the spectrum) in part be driven into
the violet end of the spectrum, for
iodine in a solution in water or alcohol
at once gives up its orditiay absorption
properties, and stops violet ligbt. A
preliminary comparison of the ordina
ry absorption spectrum of a stratum of
six feet of chlorine renders it not im
probable that chlorine at a low tem
perature is the cause of some of the
Fraueuhofer lines in the violet,although,
as said before, I have not yet obtained
certain evidence as to the reversal of
the bright lines of chlorine seen in the
jar-spark. Theie is also an ap|uirent
coincidence between some of the faint
Frauenhofer lines and some of the
lines of the temperature absorption
spectru in of iodine. Should subsoquen t
researches strengthen the probabilty of
this working hypothesis, it seems pos
sible that iron meteorities will be asso
dated with the metallic stars', and stony
meteorities with metalioidal and com
pouud stars. Of the iron group of met
als iu the sun iron aud nickel aro those
which exist in greatest quantity, as 1
have determined from the number of
lines reserved. Utlicr striking facts,
such as the presence of hydrogen in
meteorities, might also be referred to.
An interesting physical speculation
connected with this workiug hypothesis
is the effect on the period of duration
of a star’s heat which would be brought
about by assuming that the original
atoms of which a star is composed are
possessed with the increased potential
energy of combination which this hy
pothesis endows them with. From the
earliest phase of a star’s life the dissi
pation of energy would, ns it were,
bring into play a new supply of heat,
and so prolong the star’s light. May it
not also be that if chemists take up
this question which has arisen from the
spectroscopic evidence of what I have
before termed the plasticity ot the mo
lecules of the metalloids taken as a
whole, much of the power of variation
which is at present accorded to metals
may be traced home to the metalloids?
I need only refer to the fact that, so
far as I can learn, all so-called changes
of atomicity take place when metal
loids are involved, and not when nits
tals alone are in question. As instan
ces of these I may refer to the tria-
tomic combinations formed with chlo
rine, oxygen, sulphur, etc., in the * nd
case of tetrad or hexad metals. May
we not from these ideas be justified in
defining a metal provisionally, as a
substance, the absorption-spectrum of
which is generally the same as the
radiation-spectrum, while the metal
loids are substances the absorption-
spectrum of which generally is not
the same? In other words, in passing
from a cold to a comparatively hot
state the plasticity of these latter
comes into play, and we get a new mo
lecular arrangement. Hence are we
not justified in asking whether the
change from oxygen to ozone is but a
type of what takes place in all metal
loids?’’

they do so for our good.

Treatment of Sick Animals. —
The Live Stock Journal say6: “ Nearly
all sick animals become so by improper
feeding in the first place. Nine cases
out of ton the digestion is wrong.
Charcoal is the most effective and
rapid corrective. It will cure in a ma
jority of eases, if properly administer
ed. An example of its use: The hired
man came in with the intelligence that
one of the finest cows was very sick,
and a kind ueighbt r proposetl the usual
drugs and poisons. The owner being
ill, aud unable to examine the cow,
concluded that the trouble came from
over eating and ordered a teacupful of
pulverized charcoal given in water. It
vras mixed, placed in a junk bottle,
the head held upward, aud the water
and charcoal poured downward. In
five minutes improvement was visible,
and in an hour the animal was in the
pasture quietly eating grass. Another
instance of equal success occurred with
a young heifer which had become bad
ly bloated by eating green apples after
a hard wind. The bloat was so severe
that the sides were almost as hard as a
barrel. The old remedy—saleratus—
was tried for correcting the acidity,
hut the attempt to put it down always
caused coughing, and did little good.
Haifa teacupful of fresh powdered
charcoal was given. In six hours all
appearance of the hloat had gone, aud
the heifer was well.

Plant a Grape Vine First.—Not
one farmer in twenty will buy grapes

A WONDERFUL AMERICAN IN
EUROPE.
Another American has distinguished
himself abroad. His name is Holtum,
and he has lately been attracting atten
tion at the Folies Bergeres, in Paris,
by having a cannon ball fired at him
and catching the ball in his hands.
This prodigious feat was witnessed
nightly, and although the actors pres
ent avowed that there was no trick,
Pierre Vernon, of the Monde Illustre,
would not believe it. He said that the
cannon ball must be thrown to Holtum
from the stage. The latter madenltei
of five thousand francs that he would
perform the feat under conditions which
left uo room to doubt, and when the
bet was taken, Vernon designated Ma
Grille as the place for trial. All the
journalists of Paris were invited, ami
they found Holtum there before his
cannon. It was examined with minute
care, and the heavy hall was passed
from hand to hand. “ I am no longer
in my own house,” said Holtum, “ you
are master here, and you must watch
over all the arrangements.” Having
carefully aimed and lashed his cannon,
it was charged, aud Holtum took his
place against a plank target some ten
yards away. This was to show that the
ball was solid, aud the force of powder
great enough to send it through the
plank. Holtum got the aim of his
gun, and then placed his head in a
certain position against the plank,
giving the command to fire. The ball
just grazed the hair and broke through
the plank, rolling some twenty yards
further on. The same ball was picked
up by the journalists, who again
charged the cannon and sent home
the rail, and this time Holtum caught
the ball as neatly in his hands as he
does nightly upon the stage. He won
his bet, and no one seemed disposed to
accept his offer of 3,000 francs to any
one who would perform the same as
tounding feat. 1 he plty»ical force re*
quired may be enormous, but Holtum
showed his strength by tossing up can
non balls as if they were so many
oranges. The only precautions taken
are very simple; he wears very thick
leather gloves, and covers his breast
with many thicknesses of thin paper to
form a sort of cuirass. This looks
like a very dangerous feat, particularly
the first part of itl where Holtum
places his head against tho target half
an inch below where the ball will prob
ably strike. If tbe powder should
chance to be defective, some day there
might be an accident, snapping his
heaJ very neatly off.
