“WANTED.”
From the Atlanta Sun.]
[lnscribed to the Bachelor editor of the
Sun touching whom an editorial appeared
Sunday morning.]
One more unfortunate
Tired of life—
Tired of existence
For want of a wife.
Think of him tenderly,
Not with disdain;
Carefully, lovingly,
Auain and again.
•
Look at his garments,
Tattered and torn;
Buttonless, stringless,
Shockingly torn ;
Unfitting habiliments
For any to wear,
For this child of TllE SUN,
This “blonde” so fair.
Think net of him scornfully,
But tenderly, mournfully,
0, maiden so fair ;
And reach from thy sphere above
Love’s rosy mantle,
And shield him from bitter despair.
He has no father,
He has no mother ;
Not, e’en a sister,
Or even a brother.
Never a friend
In his darkness to say—
“ Friend will you sew on
My buttons to-day?”
Alas ! it is pitiful
In the whole city full
Is there cot one
Whose fair dainty fingers
O’er duty ne'er lingers :
Whose pleasure ’(would be
To sew on the buttons
For this “Child of TllE Sun.”
The bleak winds of March
Will soon make us shiver,
And the impudent, breeze,
'Chat dismantles the trees,
May say >n its glee
“O, it’s jolly good fun
'To sport with the clothes
Os this “Child of The Sun I ”
Then ere his limbs
Stiffen too rigidly ;
Or e’en he east
O er the world too frigidly
His last look of hopeless despair—
Is there no maiden
Too, love ladcip
Who will come in her beauty
As some sweet dream,
And take by the hand
This fair “Child of The Sun,”
And point to the love-land
That lies just beyond?
Ah! come in thy sweetnes,
(>, beautiful one,
O, come in thy freshness,
E’er Love’s dream is done.
Cast thy sweet glances
From love-laden eyes
O er this “Child of The Sun,” and
bid him look up
To life's glowing skies.
Quien Same.

Clover Hay For Horse#.
Ki chard Montague, of Union
Shrinks, New York, who drives
the fastest horst* in tin* place, in
forms the Country Gentlemen
th it he feeds no grain, but ex
clusive!} clover hay, which he re
gards as richer food than any oth
er ha\ or fodder. 11 is horse has
had no other food tor the past
two \ ears; and his good condition
is justly ascribed, first, to the
highly mnritivequalitiesofclover;
and secondly, to Mr. Montague's
care and skill in drying and cur
ing clover, so (hat it wilt keep ami
not get must} nor lose its fra
grant leaves ami blossoms.
Strange to say, only a tew farmers
have learned to do this.
Clover should be cut for hay as
soon as it is in blossom. Do not
wait for the heads tv turn brown.
Cut when the dew is off, am! cure
with as little sun asposible. This
matter depends \er} much on the
weather, tin* >ize of clover stems,
their length, and abundance to
the xiputre yard. Mr. Montague
never permits the sun to shine
moie than a halt da\ on cut clo\ er
before be puts it into small cocks.
One w hole da> of diving would
be too much. It remains in the
cock at least a w r eek; and is open
ed to get air and dr}', t vo or three
times, otherwise it w ill heat and
spoil, unless the cocks are very
small. In that case, the dew will
injure the hay.
There is a great art in making
hay of the most aromantic and
nutriticious quality. It is easier
to make inferior hay than the.
best, as it is to produce inferior
tea and tobacco. Ten years’ resi
dence in Tennessee has tailed to
show’ the writer one farmer who
produces clover hay, or any other,
of the best quality that can be
made from the plants used. The
principal defect are: letting the
grass stand too long before it is
cut, and then remain too long in
the sun, dew, and rain before it
is housed. Oats and wheat are
often treated in the same careless
way. Slovenly farming is the
parent of waste, poverty, and
want. I). Lee.
TO MAKE . OYS FARMERS.
We wish all the fathers would
heed what the “American Agri
culterist” says: “Induce the’boys
to take an interest in the farm, in
the implements, in the stock; tell
them all your plans, your success
and your failures; give them a
history of your life and what you
did; and how you lived when a
boy; but do not harp too much on
the degenerate character of y oung
men of the present age; praise
them when you can, and encour
age them to do still better. Let
them dress up in the evening in
stead of sitting down in their
dirty clothes in a dirty room. Pro
vide plenty of light. Thanks to
kerosene, our country homes can
boas brilliantly lighted as the
gas-lit residences in the city.
Encourage the neighbors to drop
in, evenings. Talk agriculture
rather than politics; speak of the
importance of large crops, of good
stock, of liberal feeding, and of
the advantage of making animals
comfortable, rather than of the
hard times, low prices and high
w ages. Above all; encourage the
boy to read good agricultural
papers. Get him some good ag
ricultural books to study. Head
them with him, and give him the
benelit of your experience and
criticism. When ho has master
ed this, give him another. In our
own case, we owe our love for
farming, principally, to the fact
that our father told us of every
thing that he was doing on the
farm; answering all the questions
and encouraging, rather than re
fusing, our child-like desire of
helping him to plow, to chop, to
drain, as well as tiring the brush
heap.”
GIVE US MORE FRUIT-TREES
There can Im? no apology for
owners of landed estates failing
to put out fruit-trees ami vines
and shrubbery. Every fruit-tree
planted adds twenty times its
cost, if not more, to the value of
the farm; if in any event the
owner or his heirshave reasons to
sell the same, this truth will then
be fully realized. Everybody is
fond of fruit, and the man of
family who neglects to provide it
fur his household is not doing his
whole duty to them. Any ob
servant or intelligent man, con
templating settling on an estate,
w ill make it one of the first con
siderations with him before pur
chasing w het her or not it bason it
an orchard of fruit; In* has no no
tion of waiting several years for
so healthful and toothsome an ad
dition to his home comforts, and
doubtless, many a sale has been
defeated by the lack of thisluxery,
or rather of this necessary por
tion of food. Besides these home
considerations, fruit is now be
coming, in many quarters, the
largest source of profit to the
owners of plantations, and if the
finer qualities are produced and
attention is paid to the proper
varieties and the times ami sea
sons for their ripening ami gath
ering. there can In* no more
profitable cron raised than f.uit.
