Tired Of loving and hating, Longing for rest, and then waiting For peace in another land. Trying To fathom the depth of life’s river— To catch the stray sunbeams that quivsc And dance on its gleaming breast. Wondering If all sweeping surges Ceaselessly sing Hope’s last dirges— Requiem masses of rest.

J W. ” UNDERWOOD, AU’y & Abstractor. . going to the ,i '.city to "look 1 for a job.” "What’s t h o matter with staying at homo and helping me run the farm?" asked the old man. "I want a cbauco to rise iu the world, to show what kind of stuff I am made of,” answered the youth. “I reckon you’re made of the same sort of clay as yer mother and me, but yet only about half-baked yet,” said the old man with a grin. "This comes of a little learnin’. You’d better tarry at Jericho until yor beard is grown an’ you’ve cut yer wisdom teeth, son.” But the young man persisted. I-Ie ex plained to his father that he wanted to see the world, and make his mark in it. He must have to begin low, but he was bound to rise and be somebody, and ho knew enough to keep clear of bunco- steerers and all such gentry. Ho his father gave him bis blessing and twenty- five dollars in gold and lot him go, with a pardonable desire to gratify his ambi tion and see him rise in the world. In due time a letter came from the young man. Hob'd found employment as a clei k in a jewelry store. It was only a stepping-stone, he said, to the fortune he intended to make, but he should keep his eyes open and loose no good chance. The next letter was from the chief of police in the city where the young mai was employed. It merely announced the fact that the youth was in jail and want ed his father to come nnd bail him out. The consternation which this missive in. t rod need into the farm household can only be imagined. They all loyally clung to the belief that their Charles Augustus was not. a criminal in intent, but the fact of his being iu jail was a great blow to their pride. "Let us return,” as ths novelists say, to Charles Augustus. That, enterprising young man had won golden opinions from his employer, by liis steady conduct, hi, correct business principles, and his devotion to their in terests. One day, at a time when he was tne only clerk in thestore, astranger entered and asked to he shown some diamond earrings. He produced a bus iness card, and the jeweler, who person ally attended to him, lecognized the name as that of a man recently estab lished in business there, but who was still a stranger to him. The gentleman selected the earrings and asked that they be sent to his hotel for liis wife to cx- n-nine before purchasing them. Then h' left the store. Now this business was unbusiness-like and t!:e jeweler cautioned young Still well not to leave the diamonds unless they were paid for, as the buyer had said they would be if they suited. So Charles Augustus went up to the hotel with two ideas fixed in his mind. He was to return,like the Spartan hero,with his shield, or upon it—in other words, he was to bring back either the diamonds or their equivalent, in cash. "Know thyself,” the motto of the wise ineu of Greece, was un unknown ouantit.y in the arithmetic of our Charles Augustus. He had read enough dime literature in his salad days, which were not yet over, to (ill his soul with an une qual appreciation of things. For in stance, quite unknown to his parents, he yearned to be a detective. Cowboys and raiders were not much to his liking; they iacked the element of respectability. But to be a detective, a sleuth-hound of the law, to rise to the high position of inspector-in-chief of police, to be the terror of small boys and evil doers was to roach the ultimatum of his ambition. When his employer imagined his new clerk at the reading room of the Y. M. 0- A. or sound asleep in his boarding house bed, Charles Augustus was hang ing around the police station, watching the criminals brought in, and admiring the officer on duty who assigned each one to a cell a wave of Ills baton. He thought he was getting a deep in sight into hudkh nature, and that, he could tell a origiinal from an honest man aAAhe firatcndancff That was the inter- erang etatopt hut mind wnen bo reached the hotel witV the valuable package in his pocket, the jewels in a satin-lined case, ready to be teinfpingly displayed before eyes of the foriunate woman for whom thoy were to be purchased. In answer to his question the boy who Opened the door said that he would ree U Mrs was In,aud Charles Augustus Mnt up the card of his employer, nnd waited in the parlor for the lady to see him. When the boy returned he was requested to attend to tho lady in her own room. "Hal” he said to himself, “it’s tne old gag!" The lady admired tho jewels nnd told her husband, who was present, that they suited her exactly, Charles Augustus had literally frozen to them; he stood close to the lady wliilo sho tried them on ami furlivoly watched her lest she should make a dash for the opposite door, when he would snatch tho diamonds and fight tho two conspirators siuglo handed, nnd lie pressed something in tho breast pocket of his coat. It. was the first purchaso ho had made put of his father's gold piece—a rovolvcr, which he needod about ns much as a cat needs two tails. "You can leave thorn,” said the gen tleman languidly—gentlemanly villains are always languid—"I will call in and pay for them on my way homo from tho offico.” "Ha, the plot thickens,” remarked Charles Augustus, mentally. Aloud he said ; "I beg your pardon, air, but my or ders are peremptory. I am not to leave the diamonds without receiving the money.” The gentleman Smiled. But a man can smile, aud smilo, aud be a villain still. Charles Augustus stood his guard with a come - one - come - aU-this-rook-shall-fly- from-its first - base as-soon-as-I—Fitz- Jnmes’—expression that, meant business. "Tho idea,” said his wife indignantly, “to think that you are not good for that amount 1 Thoy can't know who we are.” "Never mind dear It’s just as well to pay for them now as at any time. I will write out a check and give it to the young man, and you oan keop your dia monds." But Charles Augustus saw only a new move in tho game in this ar rangement, "I must have a certified oheck," he said firmly. "Ring for a coupe," said the gentle- mnn to his wife, “I will go to the bank aud get the eash, and see it paid into the hands of tho jeweler myself. It’s a good idea to deal only with principals in an affair of this kind.” This was carrying tho war into tho enemy’s camp with a vengeance. Charles Augustus felt that ho had met a foeinan worthy of his steel. Those are stock phrases which novelists use, and Hiev worn as familiar to Charles Augustus, as they are to the rest of the world, and served to illustrate a crisis. Tho coupe was announced, and tho two men went down and got in together, each visibly shrinking from the other. The fact was the buyer of the diamonds wns Buffering from a raging toothache, and just as the coupe got well started,he remembered a bottle of ether, and some other mixture which he had bought that morning for that purpose, aud forgotten during a lull in the misery. Now he brought it out, removed the cork, and was about to apply it, when tho bottle was snatched from his hand, and dashed through the open window of the coupe. "No you don't, I'm onto your little game. You don’t chloroform me I’ shouted Charles Augustus,as he drew his pistol and popped it under the nose ot his captured “villain " Tho noise of the two men fighting vigorously in the coupe, both doors of which had flown open, the cries of “policel” "inurdwl” "stop thief t” which could bo heard lor a block, finally reached the driver’s ears, and brought him to a stand still when,in a twinkling, two policemen were on the spot. "Hold him. lie tried to chloroform met” yelled Charles Augustus. "Arrest this man- He’s trying to rob and murdor me I” shouted the other oc cupant of the coupe. The result was that both men were ar rested and taken to tho statioo, where they were incarcerated in separate cells and booked as drunk and disorderly, un til such time as the law of police officials, which is different from any other kind of law under the sun, should admit of their cases being looked up and the facts of the affair brought out. The dia monds and Mr. s checkbook wen taken care cf by fhe same authorities. They were both fined for breaking the peace, but tho iuuoceut party of tho first part, who bought the diamonds, 01 tried to, wasouly kept in jail one night. Then his distracted wife fouud him, and figura tively warmed the policemsu’s ears for ever putting him there. The jeweler finally got his money aud the lady in the case received her diamonds, but Charles Augustus, the valiant, languished in jail until his father eame and bailod him out. He is now running a plow on the home ranch, but what new turn his genius will take remains to be soon. For tho pres ent he Is satisfied to be out of business as an amateur detective.—Detroit Free Pres*. "Hr. Garret’s Contribution. A rathor amusing incident in the ex perience of an editorial friend of mini was roeently brought to my attention- ail incident, which illustrates the ruriou, situations which editors sometimes fin? themselves led by their decisions on mnn scripts submitted for their examination My friend is the oditor of a prominen weekly in this city, and,one day not Ion; ago, found on his desk a manuscript, ac companied by the usual contributor 1 ! lottor. As the particular letter bore I hi letter-head of the publishing house whirl issued his own books, my cditoriul ftienr was led to examine the manuscript will a special dogreo of intorest- The manu script related to a subject of popular in terest, so tho editor promptly decided to accept, it, glad of an opportunity to re turn the compliment to one associate! with the publishers who had accepted his literary work. Confident that he win addressing some prominent individual ir the publishing house, lie ordered s. re speclful note of acceptance to bo sent A few dnys later ho had occasion to cal 1 at his publishers' and in the course ol conversation he said to the member o: the firm with whom ho was talking: "By the way, I would like to see Mr, Garrett.” “GarrettI Garrett?’’ mused the pub lisher. "I don’t recognize the name." "Why, 1 have accepted n manuscript from a gentleman of that name, whn wrote from this house” “Garrett? Oirrott?” repeated the pub Usher in r puzzled tone. Then he turned and tapped his bell. Tho office boy re sponded. “Richard,” said the publisher, "do you know anyono by the name of Gar ret here?” The boy blushed and bowed. In i few moments he had overcome his con fusion enough to confess that he iva» “Mi- Garrett.” The publisher had only known him as "Richard;” The amusing effect, of this eonfusiot on tho minds of the publisher and editor may bettor be loft fro the imagination ol the reader.—E. W. Bok. . Feminine Trinket* Frem Africa. The Englishwoman who lately explored the ICilimu-Njaro country in Africa brought out all sorts of interesting speci mens with her, many of which the na tives would never have surrendered to a man; such as articles of attiro that, havo actually been worn by women, bells worn on the little black babies’ ankles to encourage them to walk,wigs, riugs, fly leaf aprons, bracelets, anklets, belts anil girdles of beads, hair ornaments, bcauti- fill spears, shields, poisone 1 arrows, porn.be cups, household utensils., and a multitude of other strange and curious things. The traveler was much struck by tho intelligence of these races, who have but little pure African blood, aud are. anything but lazy. Perhaps the most interesting reflection in connection with these people is that they are destined to extermination by vicious indulgences which will be introduced to them in tin way of trade. The German potato alco hol is more destructive even than the opium which was forced on the Chinese at the mouths of British cannon, and has been ever since maintained by the sam» agency.—New York Sun.

Take with you some sticks splits from a board and stick them in the ground where the manure is wanted so you enn by this mark find the place again. This work done now will savo money to you when labor is pressing as tho months come hot and work presses.—American Dairyman. SUNFLOWERS. Plant sunflower seeds all along the back fences, and in bare,unused corners. All along the side and front of the sheds and barns, put the seeds of these rauk and brightly beautiful "growers.” They will flourish anywhere, and turn the backgonnd into a wall of green il luminated by discs of orange,nnd hiding old weather boaten wood work or fenc ing. The seeds of the sunflower are in some countries used for fattening (owls. In Russia (and in some of our Western States) they are cultivated for fool,being harvested in two parts, the seed heads cut off nnd put away in a corn-crib, aud tho stalks piled in a shed. Wbon cut in the right, timo tho stalks dry as hard as oak,and make a good, hot fire, while the seed heads with the seed in make a better Ore than tho best hard coal. Tho seed, being very rich in oil, will burn bettor and lougor,ton for ton, than hard coal.---Detroit Free Press. A ,1'KHFBCT EOO-TEBTER FOR NOTHING. Having one of tho lanterns with a re flector and a bull’s-eye on one side of the chimney, which are made to put on the dasher of a wagon, ns well as for or dinary house use, I made an egg-tester as follows, explains a Cambridge, (Mass.) correspondent 1 got a box just big enough to receive the lantern easily, arranged one side of it to swing on leathern hinges as a door, and or an other side, just opposite the bull’s-eye, cut nu egg-shaped hole, about a quarter of au inch larger all round than a largo egg. Then over this hole 1 tanked a piece of thin leather, in which was another egg-shaped hole, slightly smaller than an egg. By holding the egg firmly against this opening in tho leather, every ray of light is excluded, and tho full force of the lantern, reflector and bull’s- eye are turned on tho egg. Of course there must be a sufficient opening in the lop of the box to let off the heated air. With this fester I can plainly see the embryo in a fertile egg forty-eight hours after tho beginning of incubation.— Farm and Poultry. TIF.ST ri.AOF, Fon REES. Bco keeping should havo more atten tion from farmers. In locating the apiary select some cool, shady, quiet spot. The hives should never be placed against the side of a building or close to a fence, but there should always be room to stand on either side of them while working. The south side of a building is also an ob- jecliouable place beciuso it is liable — from the intense reflected heat of tho sun—to give them the swarming fever. Also avoid placing the bees where cattle or horses constantly pass, as the over turning of a hive by tho animals might produce serious results. The orchard is a good place fur bees, or au apiary and vineyard may be combined by placing the hives at a good distance apart and planting a grapevine beside each. Do not fear tlmt tho bee.H will spoil the fruit, for it is a settled fact that they will not puncture a grape in order to get at its juices, but will only feed upon it after the birds liavo taken a bite. Bees aro not at all destructive, and they are es pecially valuable because they gather up and store away that which would be wholly lost if it were not that they can utilize it.—Chicago Times. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. A light loam, a porous subsoil, gives the best results in the gladiolus. Guineas are great foragers and destroy many insects that hens will not touch. The great secret iu raising young ducks is not to allow them to get wot. Coal ashe3 should always be sifted be fore using for the dust bath of tho fowls. Make it a rule to clean the lieu nests every week and paint them with coal oil. A little oil meal at the morning or uoou feed about ouen a week keeps the bowels active, and makes the glossy plumage that is often such a marked feature in the prizo birds at tho poultry shows. With Bordeaux mixture for fungus diseases, arsenical compounds for leaf eating insects and oil ones for others, the successful cultivation of many more plants than before is now made possible. Egg plants require early starting, warm quarters, vigorous plants, rather late transplanting to the field, warm, rich aud moist soil, constant attention to potato beetles and freqneut cultiva tion. That competition affects agricultural industry it would he idle to deny, but this competition does not iu tho least iu terfere with the power of tho farmer to provide a living for himself and family. RECIPES. Egg Sauce—Beat together ouc-half cup butter and one tablespoonful of flour; add a half pint boiling water, stir ring constantly, pepper and salt to tastp and when thick like custard arid two hard-boiled eggs chopped fine. Serve hot. Shnd Roe—Boil the roe of a shad and two eggs for fen minutes in salted water. Put two heaping tablcspoonfuls of butter in your chafing dish, together with a fablesDoonful of lemon juice or vinogar. Add the roe (breakiug it up lightly with a fork) then tho yolks. of two hard J boiled eggs, mashed fine, a small cup of grsted bread crumbs, a little chopped parsley, pepper and salt. Stir constantly until all is well mixed, and servo very hot. Lettuce Salad—Do not cut, but pul) the leaves apart, rejecting all braised or wilted ones, and place in a salad bow) largo enough to dress nicely without scattering ovor the table. Makoa dress ing by adding two saltspoonfuls of salt and one of pepper to a tablespoouful of oil; mix thoroughly, then add three tablespoonfuls of oil and oue and one- half tablespoonfuls of best vinegar. Pour over at the table when ready to serve. T omato Butter—Choose perfectly ripe, large, red tomatoes, 3cald them to make it easy to remove the skin, and then weigh tVsm; to each pound of tomatoes allow six ounces of brown sugar aud a gill of vinegar; put these ingredients over tho fire in a thick kettle, heat them gradually, and boil them gently, stirring them almost constantly to prevent burn ing, uutil a little of the tomato butter is as thick as jam whencoolodou a saucer; when it is done and quite cold put it up like other preserves. Strawberry Shortcake—To a pint, of sifted flour add a heaping teaspoon of baking powder; rub into the flour two tablespoonfuls of butter and a little salt, enough sweet milk to make a stiff batter; stir quickly and lightly and spread im mediately upon buttered tins of oven size, bake in a quick oven, ten minutes should be long enough, but tho cakei should be a delicate brown; slip one cake on to a hot plate and spread tho berries over it, then put tho othor cake on top; butter lightly; send to the table as soon as ready. Tho berries should bo pulled with care, and if gritty washed quickly; never wash berries unless it is really nec essary. If the berries are large, slice each one once or twice with a silver knife, being careful not to mash the fruit; sprinkle plentifully with sugar, and after standiug a fow momonts turn lightly with a silver fork; use fine, fresh berries, and prepare tho cake as quickly as possible; it should also he eaten as soon as served. Never bruiso or "mash” tho fruit—it ruins the fine flavor and spoils the dainty appearance of the cake. This is truly tho kind of caka "that mother sued to make.” Iron Paper. It will not perhaps bo remembered, says the London Paper Maker, that in the great exhibition of 1851, a specimen of iron papor was exhibited. Imme diately a lively competition ensued among iron masters as to the thinness to which cold iron could be rolled. Oue iron maker rolled sheets the average thickness of which was 1-1800 part of an inch. In other words, 1800 sheets of this iron piled one upon the other would only measure one iuch in thickness. The wonderlul fineness of this work may be more readily understood when it is re membered that 1200 sheets of thinnest tissue paper measuro a fraction ovor an inch. These wonderful iron sheets vver.i perfectly smooth and easy to write upon, notwithstanding the fact that, they were porous when held up in a strong light. Humors st a Potat* Famine. The failure of the potato crop created a general panic in a little Pennsylvania town sevoral years ago. The merchants put the price of potatoes up to an exorb itant figure nnd there was distress through ail the neighboring county. The keeper of tho only hotel, Solomon Hanks, was vexed aud troubled. lle feared to drive away his patrons by rais ing the price of board, yet his profits were hardly inrge enough to keep up his family. He began to cut down expenses, and the first thing that had to go was his free omnibus. For several months that crazy old vehicle carried the follow ing sign; "Owing to the high price of potatoes guests must pay a fare of twenty-five cents to ride in this ’bus.— fit. Louis Republic. A single gold brick was recently shipped to San Francisco,’ (Jal., from Yuma, the valueof which was estimated at from $80,000 to $90,000.
