Wedded. Some quirk and biller words we said. And then wo parted. How the sun 8 warn through a SuUefi sea of gray ! A chill fall on toe summer day. Life’s b at and hippiest hours were done. Friendship was dead. How proud we went our separate wars, And spake no word, and made no moan ; She braid*d up her flowing hair, That 1 had always called an lair, Ah though she scorned my loving tone, My word of praise. And I ? I watched her scorn with aom, I hated her with all my heart, Until—we chanced to meet one day ; I saw twn pretty tear-drops start, !xl Jove was born. Fome fond, repenting word I said ; She answered only with a sigh ; But when I took her hand in mine, A radiant gloiy. half divine, I tooded the earth and filled the akj— Now we are wed. AGRICULTURAL. An Experiment In drape 4'nltnre The i’rairie Farmer hat* a communica tion on thin subject from a correspondent who say*: Heven years ago, in grubbing up a (!a* taiia vineyard, the writer left one row of the vines. The stalks bad been taker, away, and as a lot of apple tree trim minings were convenient, a quantity were placed on each side of the vines to run on, just keeping them off the ground, but scarcely more than a fo*t from it in any place. The experiment has been completely successful. The last three years have been excessively wet, arid both rot and grapeVurculio have run riot among the Concords, while these vines are al together exempt. This year, hot, steamy weather would occur immediately after severe showers. The result lias been wide-spread, blight among pear, apple and other trees, and grapes oould lie seen to mildew while observing them ; but these vines, close to the ground, have been kept shaded all the time, and were also much cooler. In no ease do they •how- any evidence of atmospheric or in sect injury of any sort. Experiment*! like theee are recoin mended in localities where mildew iH common, ami where choice aorta, like the Catawba, do not uaually prosper. The mode of culture haa many merits, it costs little or nothing to care for them, only placing brush or rough forks under them to keep the vines from contact with the earth, in winter the snow, leaves and other sheltering cover, sift in among the branches and remain there, prevent ing injury from severity of the climate, last and most important of all, the fruit is of a superior quality without any im perfections in any part, even while re quiring no care. Have any of our readers ever tried this method of grape culture. If they have, it would lie instructive to hear from them, whether they succeeded or tailed. t'ntteiilnK I’onlir.s. A letter on this subject, by Henry Eliot, Washington county, Ohio, fur nishes some interesting items in relation to the cramming process practiced by French and English feeders in this coun try, who go on the principle of giving fowls not only ali the food they would naturally eat, but forcing an extra amount, which makes them dull and sleepy, and thus increases the tendency to fatten. The feeders especially esteem buckwheat for this pnr|K)se ; hlso employ oat and corn meal, mixing it rather still, and rolling it into what are termed, “ crams ’’ —i. t. masses two inches long, of the thickness of a man’s little finger. The crams, dipped into milk or water, are pushed into the mouth and throat of the iowl until the crop is full, the ojiera tion being repeated two or three times a day. In raising poultry for the table, the farmer, said Mr Eliot, should not forget that the chicken must be kept growing from the time they are hatched, or their framework becomes stunted and fixed, and prevents their afterwards ob taining large sire. The beat food after chickens are put up in fattening coop* is oats and corn meal, fixed with scalded milk or water; the wirter adds a low grade of flour, linked and wet a little As soon as his chickens are sufficiently fat they are killed at once, liefore the flesh becomes hard and coarse; they are not fed the last day, as food in the crop and intestines ferments, and detract from the flavor of the meat. < . Mewl. A writer in the Scientific Farmer nays It i * little singular that, in these hard time*, when every one ia trying to coin ► mire, that more cheese ia not eaten. So much ha* been said and written by chemist* about the relative of cheese and meat that wt all must have seen some com parison of their value a* food, with the balance always on the side of cheese, when each is reckoned at its usual market quotation. Another argument in favor of cheese is that iCrequires no cooking or other preparation, but is al ways ready for food. Bread is termed the staff of life. Most properly, it seems to me, we might add to it the cheese and milk. It might be useful, to confirm what chemistry declare*, if someone in terested were to try the experiment of a diet composed largely of those, in some of our charitable institutions, reform schools, or poor-houses. We have them all around us to support, and if we could maintain them equally well, or perhaps bettor, by some changes of this nature, would it not be an object to do so? If our taxes were a little lighter could we Dot bear it comfortably ? When a poor, unfortunate beggar calls at our door for food. I give him bread and cheese. He manifests many thanks for this, and I have’repeatedly heard him remark. “ No body gives me cheese ’’ Treatment of Pigs. The commissioner of agriculture of the state of Georgia, in a “Manual on the Hog,” says, among other things: “ Success in raising hogs depends in a great measure upon the attention given ■~’ ' | pigs for the first few months of their ex istence, and if proper attention is given them it may be stated as a maxim that ‘increase of pigs is increase of pork.’ The future usefulness of every animal, mail included, depends, in an eminent degree, upon the treatment received while young, and in none more than in the pig. Pigs that are allowed to become poor r diseased seldom so entirely re cover as to attain equal development with those that receive no check to health or growth during the formative period. It is, therefore, of prime importance to keep pigs, from their birth, in a thriving, healthy condition. As soon as they can be induced to eat, they should lx- pro vided with a shallow trough in the sow’s pen, but inaccessible to her, to which tuey can resort to at pleasure. Com mence by giving them a small quantity of milk, several times a day, '.eing care ful to feed at regular hours, so that they will expect it at those hours, and sleep quietly during the intervals. Increase i the quantity and give a little grain ns they grow older, being careful to clean j out the trough each time before feeding. | If the pigs have been well fed, and the I sow is much reduced, they may he i weaned at six weeks eld, but if the sow lis still in good condition, and strong enough to hear the drain u|ion her con stitution, they may remain with her ten j or twelve weeks, if there is time to pre ! pare for the next littor. When only a ! few weeks old the hoar pigs should he altered and marked, and the how spayed als>ut two weeks before they are wearied, that they may have the mother’s milk | until recovered from its effects. If the | pigs are castrated at this tender age, ; there is less risk, on account of the I greater ease with thick they can lie held in their position, and the small develop ment of the parts. If allowed to run three or four months, as is too often the cast!, the parts become tnore sensitive, and bemorrnage, swelling and stiffening of the parts are apt to follow. When the pigs are foperated upon the sow should lie removed to a Kafe distance from the i>en not to lie excited by the cries of her young, since there will be risk of her eating her pigs if she smells blood upon them when she is excited. ltr><* \ote* tor NeptemhiT One of the principal intorcHtH of the present month is the care of surplus honey. It should be kept in a cool dry place. Box honey should bo examined occasionally, and if moth-worms are found, they should be picked off and de stroyed. Kxtracted honey may be stored in tin r.r wooden vats or casks ; il wood is used, it should first lie coated with wax. Hives that have cast swarms should lie examined to ascertain if they have laying queens, as the young queen will at times he lost when the hive con tains no hnssl from which the l>ees may rear another. If a hive should be found without a queen, one should he applied, or brood given them, from which they may rear a queen. A hive that has been queenlew will often contain u> much honey that the queen will find hut little empty comb for brood rearing. In this case the honey should hr removed with the extractor. Hives that are not queenloss uiay often be benefited by re moving the honey from the center combs, which will allow a much larger number of young liees to he reared. Money In Mnrel Corn An t>hio farmer grows over five hun dred acres of this crop annually. The drying-house employs over fifty persons. The fresh ears are steamed five minutes to “set the milk,” the grain is then cut off rapidly with cutters] having concave fee's; then spread on perforated zinc tables, and heat applied four or five hours from long furnaces, stirring con stantly ; then packed in barrels three bushels each for shipment. Great care is required to have the corn of the right age, and to have it drier! enough to keep well. Four ,bushels of corn on the cob make one bushel dried, the wholesale price of which is #2O to #'2‘2 per barrel. • loin's’ Chill. He was dry—hadn’t been so dry since the strike, hut there was no saloon close by, and he hail the last drug store, lie knew Mrs. J. had a little old Hen nesy about the house that she put in puddings and pies, and he sat down on the door stejw and wondered how he could save il from being wasted in such fixings, as economy was his motto. He look'd up at the dog star,thealioth ; and the milk maid’s |>ath, hut they were I silent and ’tending strictly to business, j A scheme finally dawned upon him, and , he opened the door and felt his way back to the ice-cooler, got up in a chair and fished out a piece of ice, buttoned uphis coat and turned up the collar. Then he staggered up stairs, ice in hand, and met Mrs. .lone*. “ What’s the matter, Jones—been dril- j ling*”’ “ No,” said Jones, with a sigh and a shiver “Caucus?” “No, no | caucus.” “Another strike?’ “No— ; chill,” said Jones, as he sank into s chair ; j and slipped the ice into his coat poexet. " Keel that hand.” “ Oh, my!” and she shuddered. Then she got a blanket and* put over him, aud said she would make < him some hot tea. As she started lor the kitclieu Jones called her back, and, with a sigh, suggested if there was a little alcohol about the house it would be better. There wasn't a bit, but she had a little brandy for cookitip purposes. : .lone* gave a shake, and said it would answer if she had a little hot water and sugar to make it j>alatable. They were on hand in two minutes, and while she pulled off his boots and wrapped the blanket around his leet, Jones mixed his toddy and shivered. He felt better af terwards. though he made up a terrible laoe when be emptied the nettle, and told Mrs Jones that she had saved his life. He retired fifteen minutes after wards singing, “There's a land that is fairer thsn dav.” A Htruggle of Oenliia. BY E. C. T. “Thisis a sordid world,’’ mused Bet sey, as she put three stitches in place of two, and carried her thread in the wrong direction. “ This is a sordid world and women are the chief sufferers. What shall we eat, and what shall we wear? These questions with their answering, take up the average woman’s life-time. If a picnic is proposed, the happy chil dren dam* about and chatter of wading and swinging; the men straightway see visions of green banks and deep, still water, and strings of shining bass and pickerel; but a woman’s first thought, and last one, too—what shall we wear, and what shall we eat ? Daisied meads and ferny woods are shut from her view by broiled chicken, plates, preserves,table linen, pickle bottles and lunch baskets.’ “ Women are greatly to blame,” con fessed Betsey, as she darned blue eyes into the head of the dog, “ they have al lowed themselves to be crowded into a rut, and they haven’t sufficient nerve and gumption to get out of it. Mr. Train says a pint of milk and ten cents worth of oatmeal are quite enough for a man’s daily food. 1 wish the world didn’t call Mr. Train crazy.” Betsey held her worsted dog off a ways and surveyed it critically, the legs, looked as if they were chopped off at the knee, instead of curled up under; the ears were uneven ; the eyes too high in the forehead for intellectual expression, and the tail resembled a wandering cornstalk Altogether, it was a most unsatisfactory creation ; and she folded it away, saying her genius did not lie in the direction of worsted work, and for her part she was thankful her brain was not all in her finger ends. She precipitately resolved to get out of the “ rut.” Adonijah came i with a paper. “ What’s the news ?” demanded Betsey, breathlessly ; “ havo the Russians crossed the Danube, and is the strike over?” She informed Adonijah it was her opin ion that the Russians would get to Con stantinople first, for how could the Turks run with those horrid bag trousers on? Adonijah’s face beamed like a moon struck cloud ; was his Betsey really go ing to forsake her tidies and magazine stories and don the Dickinson mantle? How s<H>n a film would have spread over the new eye-sparkle could he have known about the milk and oat-meal confab go ing on in Betsey s mind. Yes; Betsey was going to lilt her chariot-wheels out of the rut; a deep rut, worn by wheels for countless ages, and very little filling had rattled in. She must jiertorni the herculean task herself, and the name of “ Betsey Buncc” should shine forth on the scroll of fame along- Bido ol “ Lillie Lynn and Damask Rose.” She would write a piece of poetry and do it now. Adonijah had gone to the store; the children were playing Indian under the hack-yard trees, and Alice Mabel was the captive child, carried oil’ in a blanket. Betsey ascended ths back Htairs; poets always dwell in an upper story. She sought the (Kxircst room—bright, carix" and sumptuous furniture lead one’s mind astray. She sat in an ancient straight hacked chair, and spread her utensils on a yellow wash-stand. She glanced around the not very light apartment as stealth ily as a thief, swayed back and forth in her old lop-sided rocker and nibbled her lead pencil vigorously. Presently she wiped her nose toward the ceiling, the lines of thought corrugated her brow and the stubby pencil began to shove along : “Come hither flert I’pgasua, I Inin would fly with th©©.

She | didn't know about poetical license,” and I there wasn’t a school in session within | forty miles of the “pool.” She deter j mined to send “Harvest Time” to the Atlantic Monthly, and they are not ex | pected to know if Michigan has mid i summer vacations. She left off the last two lines ot this stanza, for she could think of but one won! in the language for a rhyme, and that she wouldn’t have. “ Elker blossoms and tall field daisies”— there seemed to he a hitch in the metre, so Betsey scanned it on her fingers and rocker! to and fro in rythmic measure-] but all in vain. Chase the syllables up j close as she could, there would still be fe-t hanging over the bars; so she bit her finger nails and meditated : •Whil’i that in yon dim cornw ? A ghoat ! *5 Pro alive . And now. on close inspection, 1 think there ‘it* four or five What they come haunting here for, I'm sure I can't cwntriT*,” *H‘wt ot th tt old warped bookcase i hey peer aud leer at u ; One shake a half-made garment And grins in ape like glee.

Ho, Nancy! to the back lawn S>* to th childien. run Betsey put her head out the chamber window, got her hack-comb hung in eglantine briars, and Philip Augustus called out, “Mar, what you doin’ up there ?” At this Thalia and Melpomene an.d Erato snatched up Pegasus and put j him in the stable, and Betsey came roll ing and tumbling down the haunted hill at a ruinous rate, hut while yet there lingered “ the smell of thyme about her feet,” she set her left elbow on the yellow washstand and rallied once more: A smile in the blessed sunshine, A-near to the shining corn— " What sound breaks o'er the tree tops It’s Jones’ supper horn. And there comes Adonijah, As sure as I am horn." And there’s the baker's 1 ( key, A screaming out for me: And tin re's that Mrs. Sliinmens ‘To see what she ran see,' And them is beacon bobbs and wife I guess they’ve come to tea." Poor, tormented Betsey! She thrust her “manuscript” into the parasol pocket of her percale “ pollynay,” and with a plaintive look in her pellucid eyes put for the paradise of persecuted poet esses, the pantry, to see if there wa* cream enough for the table, while Adoni jah, sordid, material monster, fiuugopen the screen doors and let in I)cacon Dob,is and wife, the Slimmens and a swarm of flies. — lMrr.it Free Preen. ..A wieked man killed himself in th# lowest level of a Nevada mine, and the account says: “Thus his alleged soul was saved over half a mile of transporta tion.” Gen.
