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 j Grates. 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.— American Cultivator. 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. FARM AND OA11DEX NOTES.

Counterfeiting Railroad Tickets. “Are railroad tickets easily counter felted? was asked an old conductor. , “Yes; but, strange to say, they arc not imitated to any great extent. Somo of the tickets sold ,, are worth $-0 t <> 0 nnd , sometimes $50, and there’s no difficulty whatever in printing them. Tho cardboarl can be secured of any dealer, and the worst engraver imaginable is able to make a fac-simile of our cut.

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.

"Why are those envelopes blue on the inside <” “For a very simple reason,” was the renlv. “One of the gre.it resrVta to l>e attained in making envelopes white is to pre¬ vent transparency. Many papers are so transparent that by careful scru¬ tiny the contents of such envelopes may he determined. For instance,let us put a sheet of j nper with writing on it into this envelope.

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 come. The Wife of Columbus.
