Over Their Graves.
Over their graves rang once the bugle’s call,
The searching shrapnel, and the crashing
ball;
Tha shriek, the shock of battle, and the
*- neigh
Of horse; the cries of anguish and dismay;
And the 1-iud cannon's thunders that appall
jjaw through the years the brown pine
needles fall,
The vines run riot by the old stone wall,
By hedge, by meadow streamlet, far away,
Over their graves!
We love our dead where'er so held in
thrall,—
Than they no Greek more bravely died, nor
Gaul,—
A love that's deathless! bnt they look
today
With no reproaches on ns when we say,
“Come! let us clasp your hands, we're
brothers all,”
Over their graves!
THE WEDDING JEWELS.
“Two of 'cm going to bo married at
once!” said Aunt Amaranth, “Well,
ihat’s good lock for Emily Jane. Six
girts arc a dread ul dispensation of
Providence.”
“I don’t think mamma thinks so,
Aunt Amaranth,” said Lucy Pond,
coloring.
“She don’t say so, of course, out of
consideration for the feelings of you
girls,” said Aunt Amaranth, sourly;
“but there’s no sort of doubt but that
she thinks so, poordear! I don’t know
why you couldn’t, some of you, have
had the sense to he bora hoys!”
‘ You talk as if we did it on pur¬
pose,” said Lucy, half laughing.
“Well, how do I know but what
you did?” retorted Aunt Amaranth.
“There! you needn’t hang the dishes
about in that way. You’ve cracked
more teacups, Lucy Pond, and chipped
the edges of more saucers, in the six
weeks that you have been here, than I
did since I've kept housel”
Lucy's lip quivered; tho roses
deepened on her cheeks.
“1 try to he careful,” said she.
“No, you don’t!” said Auat Ama¬
ranth, tartly, “You don’t try to do any¬
thing, except to curl your hair and hx
over your gowns and read poetry books,
when you ought to be sewing for me.
How do you expect to pay for your
board and lodging, else?”
“Your black dress is finished, Aunt
Amaranth, and I did up all your mus¬
lin caps yesterday, and every pair of
silk stockings is darned so you can’t see
the join !” eagerly speaks up Lucy.
Aunt Amaranth elevated her hands.
‘•There you go again!” said she.
“It’s your chief failing, Lucy Pond, to
want to argue every question that comes
up. I do wish I could break you of
that!”
Lucy made no answer, but her com¬
pressed rose hud of a mouth, the two
r mechanical °' m ;' lrud ] s drumming !; o ' 3 o n ll,r of her fingers * nd th on "
the table near by, evinced the unquiet¬
ness of her sprit.
How she would have liked to fling all
Wlt Al nth ’ s ost eutmious >’“7“”°
; ™™
back in her taco, and , return to tue littie
city homo where the five other sisters
were all happy together! But teat was
quite out of the question.
Mrs. Pond was poor; it cost a great
dent to live. Lucy, after all, was only
one of six, and it had been considered a
Rne thing for the little maiden when
Aunt Amaranth Jay had given her a
grudging invitation to come and visit
her. And here were Clara and Bjssie
to be married to young Dr. C.ifford and
Harry M Vickcr—yes, Aunt Amaranth
was right, it did seem as if the sun
of good luck were rising on tlie Pond
horizon once more.
“I sup;-ose,” said Aunt .Amaranth,
still following up the thread of her re
flections as she knitted steadily away at
her black silk mitten, t t they’ll expect
somo sort of a wedding present, from
me.”
'I don t think they’ll expect any¬
thing of the sort, Aunt Amaranth.”
“Girls always do. Well, let mo see.
I’m not rich, but there’s that solid sil
ver salver of mine. 1 could have the
initials rubbed out and replaced with
‘C. P.' for Clara Pond, and I've kept
that set of family jewels all these
years—’’
“Oh, Aunt Amaranth, don’t."
‘•Brooch and ear-rings!" authorita¬
tively enunciated the old lady. “G ris
always l.kc trinkets. Bessie is the eld¬
est. Be-sie shall have the pin and ear¬
drops. They ought to go in the fami¬
ly.”
But when this news reached the Pond
tribe great was the consternation it
duced.
“Aunt Amaranth’s opal?, indeed!’
said B.ssie, a tall, slim, young bruuetie.
“I wouldn’t have’em if you were to
give mo a thoman 1 dollar Of all
gems, opals are the unlucxiest!
“My dear, that’s ail nonsense!*’ said
Mrs. Pond, a gentle, dove-eyed little
widow, with golden hair streaked with
silver. “I’ve been wishing we could
ff id you a pretty set of topaz,or some
thing, and—”
‘•But I wouldn't wear opals,” sail
Bessie.
“Well, then, suppose you take the
salver, and Clara—”
“No, thanks! ' said Ciara. with a
toss of the yellow head that was like
her mol her’s. “I don’t want any sec
ond-hand ill-luck, either. ''
“But what will your auat think? ’
“What she pleases,” said Ciara.
“She is so kind to dear Lucy.”
“I am sure that’s no merit oa her
part,” said Bessie. “No one could
help being kind to Lucy.”
“What am I to «ay to her?" sighed
Mrs. Pond.
“The truth, mamma, of course.”
Undoubtedly this was good advice,
vet the truth is by no means a.wavs pal
stable.
Aunt Amaranth was very angry.
“The jewels were good enough for
the Jay iamitr,” said she. ‘■I don't
ktow why the Ponds sbou d turn up
their noses at 'em. However, lot cm
do as they please. Its their business,
not mine, if Bcsrio chooses to do with¬
out her wedding present. Yfhatis it,
Lucy? the minister again? It seem, to
me he calls pretty often, don’t he?”
“Y-yc-s, perhaps he does,” admitted
j Lucy, with downcast eyelashes.
“Can’t you see what hs wants?’’
“He asked for you. Aunt Amaranth.”
“Well, I suppose I must go in and
see him, ’’ aaid the old lady, adjusting
: her cap ribbons. “He’s a very good
young man. That lad Sunday’s ser¬
mon of his was really very good for a
beginner.”
She went in complacently, but when
she came our, she looked reproachfully
at Lucy.
“Lucy,” said she, “is this true?”
I.ucy hung down her head.
“Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“I—I thought you must surely see
it for yourself,” murmurei Lucy.
“Well, I suppose I lnve been blinder
than any bat!” sighel the old lady.
“It never once occurred to me that you
would irake any sort of minister's
wife.”
“I mean to try my best, Aunt Ama¬
ranth.”
“And he wants you to he married
right away. Well, you’ve been a good
girl, Lucy,” reluctantly conceded the
old lady, “and we’ll go shopping this
afternoon and get you a gown or two,
and a bonnet and a shawl. I supposo
you'll want to go homo and be married
where Clara and Bessie are?”
“If you don't object, aunt.”
“Much good my objecting would do,"
said the shrewd old lady, “Well,
well, young folks will be young folks,
and I must look out for a wedding pres¬
ent for you now.”
Lucy lifted her soft brown eyes to
Aunt Amaranth's face. She ha 1 pitie 1
the old lady's discomfiture when the
opals had been so ruthlessly rejected by
the other two brides.
“Aunt Amaranth,” said she, “you
need not look out for anything new for
me. You have spent a deal of money
on mo already, and you are propos¬
ing to spend more. And if you don’t
mind, why shouldn’t I wear the jewels
—'.lie old family jewels—that you were
going to give to Bessie?”
“Would you like them?” sharply de¬
manded Aunt Amaranth.
“Yes, ”
Yov have no silly prejuiice against
opals?”
“No, Aunt Amaranth.”
“Do you like them!’
“I am sure that 1 shall like anything
that you give me, Aunt Amaranth,”
said she, “whatever it is. ”
“Humph,” said the o’d lady. “You
are a good girl.”
Great was the cooing and chattering
when the three hriJes-elect were togeth¬
er in the little red-brick city house,
each working on her own trousseau—
for the Ponds were poor an 1 dressmak¬
ers’ bills were not to be thought of.
But I.ucy had shared the best of all,
through Aunt Amaranth’s unlooked-for
generosity.
“She has been <-o goodl” said Lucy,
with sparkling e^os. “Oa, I'm so,
sorry that 1 ever was cross or unjust to
her”'
“Ior all that, said Clara, “it would
,1 * k « mor e than Aunt Amaranth’s silk
g owns an d pretty embroideries to in¬
,luc,i me to wear those hideous opals of
hers!
“I would wear anything to please
Aunt Amaranth,” said loyal Lucy.
‘ Suppose you show them to us,”
said Clara.
“Oh, I have not come into posses¬
sion of them yet,” said Lucy. “Aunl
Amaranth is to bring them when she
conies to the wedding.”
4 You won’t wear them to be mar¬
ried in?”
‘■If Aunt Amaranth wishes it, I
wil .”
And to this resolution Lucy bravely
adhered, in spite of logic, persuasion
or ridicule.
It was the uight before the triple
wedding. Aunt Amaranth, fresh from
l,cr was drinking tea and eat
iu S polcl chicken at a corner of tho table,
iwi innumerable questions.
“Only three girls left, eh, Em ly
Jane?” said the old lady, “Well, if
they're all as good as Lucy here, I
almost wish they were mine, By-the
way,here’s Lucy’s brooch and earrings."
Mrs. Pond glanced timidly at the
lilac-velvet case. In her secret heart
she, too, feared the reputed ill-luck of
opals; yet Aunt Amaranth wat by far
too important a person to offend.
“Do you want to put ’em on?” said
tlie old lady, abruptly, to her favorite
“Yes, Aunt Amaranth,” said Lucy
smiling.
“He’s coming tonight, I supposel”
“Oh, <f course!”
“ I should like him to see you wear¬
ing them," s ail Miss Jay,complacently.
“Then I will put them on,” said
Lucy, taking up the case.
“Let me do it, nr,- dear,” said Aunt
j Amaranth,
j Two drops of fitry dew, across of
i glittering white stones, flashed at Lucy’s
throat and in her little, shell-like ears.
“Oh, Aunt Amaranth!” she cried
| out.
* Diamonds!” screamed Clara.
“But I thought,” stammered Bessie,
“that they were opals!”
‘‘So they were onec upon a time,’
: (aid the old lady. ‘ But I got tired
of ’em. 1 never did fancy colored
stones. So last year I changed ’em off,
bv addins a little to the sum total, and
got the diamonds instead. D.amonds
are the thing for a bride—eh, Lucy ? ’
“But, Aunt Amaranth," pleaded
Lucy, “they are a deal too good for
me.
‘■Not a bit,” said the old lady stout
j y. “They’re not a particle brighter
! than those eyes of yours."
And of all the three brides, gentle
little Luev shone most radiantly, with
j the famiiy jewels, on her marriage day.
“If we had only known!’’ said Clara.
i “Oh, if!” cried Bessh.
“If is a big word for a little one!”
: said Aunt Amaranth. *‘You took your
own choice, girls .”—Ifeen Forest

ABM AN D G AB DEN.
TELE DRAINAGE.
F.ftceu years ago, say3 a writer in
the New York World, 100 yards of tile
were laid through the wettest part of
my place, which was then in pasture.
The first thing I noticed in favor of the
tile drain was, that in walking across
the pasture in a wet time, I failed to
hear the water squash under my feet
within three or four rods of where the
tile was laid. We continued the drain
it reached the higher land, where we
thought it would not pay to tile. Wc
thought if wa could get the wetland to
dry as soon as the higher land we would
be well satisfied. But we were agree¬
ably disappointed. The wet land was
far ahead in drying off as the dryest
land before drainage was ahead of it.
Of a wet season I could go into this
tiled land and plough corn between the
rains in as nice order as I ever plowed
land, as long as I stayed within the in¬
fluence of the tile drain; but when I
got upon the higher untiled land my
team mired down and the horses tracks
were visibie until turned under. I
noticed also that young com appeared
in nice rows twenty-four hours on tiled
land before it could be seen in the re¬
mainder of the row, where it was not
tiled. It gained one day’s growth the
first week, llie second week it seemed
to have gained two days more, making
it three days ahead at the end of two
weeks, and I think it gained in that
proportion until it was ripe.
TO CAX SWEET CORN.
The process of canning is not diffi¬
cult, but it is a question whether it can
be economically practiced on a small
scale. Some, however, who are fas¬
tidious in their tastes, prefer to prepare
their own, rather than trust to factory
hands. When a first-class article is de¬
sired it will be necessary to select the
best corn, rejecting tho immature and
over-ripe ears. Tho sooner it is canned
after being taken from tho stalks the
better. The cans can be made to order
by any tinsmith. The corn is first cut
from the cob with a curved knife made
for that purpose. The cobi are then
placed in a vessel containing just
enough water to cover them, and boiled
one hour. The cans are soldered at
both ends, but have an opening at one
end, which is closed by a cap that fits
into a groove. Fill the can through
tho oneniug with tho corn that has been
cut from the cob, pressing it fu closely,
leaving empty space of about one
fourth of an inch at the top, to allow
for the expansion of the contents by
the heat. Add to each can enough of
tho liquor obtained by boiling the cobs
to just cover tiie top of the corn, then
solder on the caps, each of which must
be provided with a small vent in the
center, which can be made with a com¬
mon brad awl. Place tho cans with
the vent ope iu a kettle of water and
boil for two hours; then take them out,
one at a time, with tongs made
purpose, .‘citing them upon a
soldering table, with force enoit^l^^I
dislodge the com that may have worked
into the vent during the boiling process.
Wipe the top with a cold, wet cloth,
and close the vent with solder, after
which return to the kettle and boil four
hours longer. Some a Id a little white
sugar to the liquor obtained by boiling
the cobs if the corn is lacking in sweet¬
ness. The proportion of sugar is about
a tcaspoonful to each can of corn.—

MANAGEMENT OP CREAM.
The managem -nt of the cream is the
most particular of all the special points
in butter-ina;ing, both as regards the
quantity and the quality of the butter.
Sweet cream makes less butter, and
that of a le 4 S pleasant flavor tbai soured
cream. Eu if tho souring is carried too
far the flavor of tin butter is deterior¬
ated, as the acidity hastens the produc¬
tion of those volatile acids which when
in excess produce that condition which
is known as rancidity. It is to the very
moderate quantity of these acids in the
butter that the pleasant nutty flavor and
peculiarly agreeable odor of good but¬
ter are due. The proper condition of
the cream is called ripeness. The ripen¬
ing of cream consists in tho production
of a certain quantity of lactic acid in
tlie milk, of which the larger part—
from 6) to 75 per cent.—of the cream
consists. lae quantity of acid in tlie
cream should be no more than is suffi¬
cient to give it mibi, pleasant-sour
taste, and this may In produced pre¬
cisely by the following methods with
shallow or deep cold se ting respective¬
ly. With the former tlie milk is set in
shallow pans, at a temperature of 60 to
sixty-two degrees, iu pu-e air, for thir¬
ty-six hours, wiieu it is skimmed, the
m lk being still sweet or very slightly
soured. The cream skimmed at intor
vals of twc.ve hours, is kept in a cov
ered jar at the same temperature, and
fresh cream is added to the first skim
ming3, the whole is gently stirred, to
mix a 1 together. At the expiration of
thirty-six hours from the first skimming
the cream will be in the best condition
for churning and “ripeness,” as it is
no g termed and for making excellent
butter. With the cold water and deep
pail setting the cream is skimmed twen¬
ty-four hours after the milk has been
set, and is kcptiu a pail set in the tank
at the u.ual temperature of forty-five
degrees until there is enough for the
churning, or the cream of each skim¬
ming may bo churned each day. But
the cream must then be ripened before
it is churned. This may be done by
exposing the cream to a temperature of
sixty to sixty-five degrees for twenty
four hours to produce the requisite
acidity or ripeness; but this delay mav
be avoided and the ripening hastened
by adding a sufficient quantity of
sour miik or buttermilk of tne
previous day’s churning to produce
this sourness. Generally one quart of
sour milk to twenty quarts of tha sweet
cream will be enough for this purpose;
the cream being gently Vtirred *o as to
mix the tour milk evenly through it.
Theprecison with which this ripening
is effected is the main point in making
the best quality of butter, and to be
sure about it the thermometer should
be used to regulate the temperature, and
the Ume should bs noted; ’ for tempera- *
ture andtime act together, and , one ele- ,
ment being in excess the other needs to
be reduced to reach the desirable effect.
Tf ail .. tne .. operations . of - the , dairy j - are per
formed with precision, the cleanliness
of everything used, and the purity of
the air being perfectly secured, then
the temperature and time may be fixed
by rule; if the tenperature is increased
the time decreased, and .
is vice versa;
aud thus every time the same results
may be reached. --American Agriculturist.
UTILIZING OLD TEX CANS.
There are a great maay things thrown
away on the farm which a rigid econ¬
omy would teach us to keep. Instead
of throwing the empty tin cans in the
pile of rubbish, or fence corners, or let- .
ling them remain around as eyesores,
says a writer in the Baltimore Sun, they
,_____ be used , tor , . tno
can „„ various purposes „„„„ on
farm, and when the farmer saves them
he will he quite 1 delighted 0 and aston
■shed at the various uses to which they
can be put. A good plan is to tako the
cans and put them on a hot stove until
the solder melts. Then they can be
straightened out in sheets and put away
until needed. Among the things they
can be used for is repairing leaks in
roofs. To repair a leaky roof tako sev¬
eral of these tin-cau sheets after the
leak is located, commence a foot or so
above it, and place a sheet of tin by
crowding the upper edge under the
layer of shingle; then tack the uppsr
and lower corners with galvanized tacks.
Ordinary tacks will soon cause
the tin to rust. Havo paint
ready and paint tho first sheet
of tin before the next layer is put on.
and follow this method untill tho sheets
have been laid at least a foot below the
leaking portion of the roof. Of courao
after the first sheet is started the tin is
put on, lapping tho same as shingles.
A roof thus repaired will be waterproof
and last a long time. As soon a3 tho
paint is dry another coat over all the
sheets should he giveu. Take a can
and cut it down to half the depth,
leaving about an iueh and a Half to run
up on one side uncut, so that it will
form a place to nail it up by; then fas¬
ten it up in some convenient place in
the barn for a receptacle for odd nuts,
burs and small bolts. Old cans also
make good material to nail around on
the wood work of stalls whero there are
cribbing horses. Tacked on the top of
the gate-posts they will help preservo
them. In fact, tho uses a genius will
find for these tin scraps, the thousand
and one things they will prove to be
“just tlie thing” for, is astonishing.

What Whiskers Are.
Who is responsible for the misuse of
the word “whiskers” in America? The
word is today almost universally vised
instead of beard. Whiskers, correctly
speaking, are only that portion of a
man’s facial hair which is worn o* either
side of his face, while the rest is shaven
clean. A man with full beard cannot
be said to wear whiskers. As the very
aarne indicates the appendage 5 ere frag
ments of a beard. The American bar-
1 her has almost lost the art of i| imuning
beards, they are nqrw so little worn In

To Prevent Transparency.
"Why are those envelopes blue on the

“For a very simple reason,” was the

Oriental Beggars.
Beggary throughout the East is a
thriving profession. There fire guilds of
beggars, besides the numerous commu
nitics of dervishes, who arc semi religious
mendicants. Many families have been
beggars for generations, and are
mendicants from choice. Home of these
professional beggarsarc actually wealthy.
Four-nnd-twcnty years ago the writer
well remembers a case. The Chief Beg¬
gar (the title was not conferred in deri¬
sion) gave his daughter in marriage to a
substantial farmer. The girl's dowry
consisted of two freehold houses, the
rooms of which were entirely ti led with
dry pieces of bread, and the sale of these
begged crusts subsequently realized n
considerable sum, being disposed of as
food for cattle. In the east there is no
organized charity, but Mussulmen nre
exceedingly charitable, many their giving
away a fith and even a third of m
