THE MIGNONETTE AND IHE OAK
1 marked a child— a pretty child,
A gentle hlne-eved thing ;
She sowed Ihe scented mignonette
One snnnv dax in spring ;
And whi'e the flux gesins she sowed
The stream ol thonght ihus sweetly flowed :
“On th?« dear bod the dow shall fall,
knl yon bright mw shall shine ;
Twill soring, end glow nnd blossom then,
And it will .ill be mine I"
And the fair thing laughed in eh'ld’-h glee
To think what a harvest hers should be.
I saw s man an acorn plant
Upon the hilMde bare ;
No spreading brunch, n«> shading rock
f/n* friendly shelter there ;
And thns ns o’er the spot he bowed
I heard him. for he thought uloud :
“Frail thing! ere gln«v leaf shall grace
Thv w'dp nn.l sturdy hongh,
I max bp laid amid the dend
A« low as thou art now ;
Yet wilt then rise in rnggrd strength
And crown this barren height at length.”
Each had a hope ; the ehildi-h I cart
looked to s summer’s joy ;
Thp rranlx thonght, strong and mature.
Looks to futurity.
F"rli trusts to nature’s gpnial power ;
He wants a forest, she a flower.
Who sows the seeds of heaxenlx truth,
And doubts Almighty power?
Will vears less surely bring the oak
Thun months the snmmer flower ?
Then sow. slthongh nr* fruit von see.
God, “in disc time ” will rahe the tree.
The (>rain Drill.
Mr FHitnr :—lt in an established tart,
writ known to all render* of apreulf nrnl
journal* that tip grain rfrill is regarded na
onp of the most essential ap-r>pnttiiral itnple.
meets eieplovod in th" grain growing sections
o( the Northwest. Having hoard so mnrh
of thr advantage* gained by *ho nse of thr
drill. I rorclw'pd aomr time ago to procure
onr and give it a trial. Not being ablr to
purchase onr of thr larger nrdrr, (whirh.
wi'h their fprtlVtrr attachment*. cost from
$l3O to $140) I wrote to Mr. F*nld Over,
of Indianapob>, Ind , to send me one of hie
five-hoed or>p-horse drills to make on expe
riment with. Thi« small drill was (rotten on
by Mr. Oxer in order to meet the wont* of
pmnll planters, who are not able to procure
one of those high priced ones, go far n« I
have tried rov drill. 1 am well pleased with
its performance, and I think I can commend
it to every man who has grain to sow. It is
so constructed Ihnt it can drill the grain in
rows varying in width from 7 to 17 inches
which is sufficiently wide to ndmif of cnlti
xatinn. In order to nee this small machine
profitably snd to the grenteat advantage. the
land should be cleared of stumps and roots,
and all larpe rocks. Have the land well
broken op. and if fooph. rnn a pood 5-hep e
harrow oxer it once or twice.and tear np the
heaviest of the grass and throw it in piles,
which may he afterwards scattered oxer the
ground. If co’tnn sppd nr other rough ma
nures are intended to be used they should he
thrown broadcast before the drill, which will
mix and coxer np snfficiently na it nows the
grain. On land that is cleared of small
slumps snd roots, and that is moderately
smooth, a good hand nnd mule ran drill in
born 5 to 7 acres per dax, according to ex
perieree. There are three different sized
feed wheels that regulate the amount qf grain
desired In be sown per acre—from 3 peeks to
bushels. If the whent is soakid in blue
stone it must be measurably dried before
placing in drill boxes to he sown. By soak
irp the wheat and swelling the grain* the
smallest feed-wheel will consume or use
about of a bushel to the acre; the next
JbTpeet teed wheel would sow a bushel per
acre, and the largest feed-wheel would sow
bushels, if soaked, and the grains en
larged ; but if the wheal is perfectly clean
and dry it will sow bushels per acre.
The complete*! excellency connected with
this litrte grain sowing machine is the grout
ease with wbirh it can be thrown out of gear
while tnrninp at Hie end of rows, or passmp
oxer or aronnd rock piles or other ohstruc
tions, for bttfore your mule has any idea that
you are ready you can throw it in gear and
be on your way to ihe end. Any able
badied, ftrong man with sense eitongh to
shock an ear of corn, ran operate as xrell as
the man who inxented the machine.
Any nne who may wish to see this little
drill perform its work c»n have an oppm tri
nity by coming to my house within the next
lew d»ys. when they can obeerxe the differ
ence between drill and broadcast sowing ; and
if the drill prodnees the best results, I want
te sell every man a drill who may wish to
prreore oce in time for the next wheat sow

TTte Anecdotes.
Gov. McCook is the man who caused
Colorow’s deposition as a chief. During his
administration Golcrow and a band ot Ute«
came to this city and camped on the out
skirts. One day the chief sent word that he
wanted ane w tent. McCook dispatched an
agent to see in what condition Colorow’s
tent was. and the report was that he did not
need a new tent, and McCook accordingly
refused him. In the afternoon while the
Governor was in his pftce Uolorow came in
half drunk, xith a revolver in his hand, and
crime oxer where McCook was writing and
rst down. The Governor took in the situa
tion at s glance, but did not look up.
“McCook, liar !” said Colorow.
The Governor went on writing.
“McCook, dam lisr !” repeated the Chief.
Still McCook continned with his work.

Fidgettjr People.
Although women are usually considered
to be more nervous than men. they certainly
fidgpt less. Put an equal number of men
snd women to sit for half an hour upon arm
chairs with loose chintx covers and anti
rnacasuurH. When the women rise the gen
eral appearance of their seats will be little
altered ; but when the men leave 'heir chairs
there will remain visible evidences of a
serew-like action upon the chintx, and it
will he a miracle if half the antimacassars
nre not torn from their places Or il a lady
and gentleman converse together beside n
dinwing-roorn table covered with knick
nncks. the former will not touch them but
th- latter will select some object and ner
vously play with it in a meaningless manner.
One of the most wearisome and provoking
forms ol fidgetiness ; s that known as “pacing
ihe quarterdeck.” in wh'ch ike offender tra
ces and retraces a short space ol ground or
carpet like a wild beast ut the zoological
gardens when feeding time draws nenr. In
thi« habit, and in any of the many other
wavs in which a man can show that he has
got what children term ‘‘the fidgets in his
legs.” he has the power of making an intol
erable nuisance ot himself. 'lhe arch-fidget
of history was ihe grpat Napoleon. Not
only did he pace up and down, hut lie also
whittled ehairs and tables, and did other
naughty things for which a judicious nurse
would have tied np his hands in fingerless
gloves. Such habits are but form* of ner
vousness, and it is certain th ■ t Napoleon
was essentially a nervous man Of all minor
forms ol the malady the most serious in its
result of social torture is that which mani
fests itself in what is vulgarly known as “the
devil’s tattoo." Who shall describe the hor
lorsol this evil habit ? An organ-grinder
ia an enemy to mankind, but ihe tattoo
beater surely owes h's origin to something
worse than human. For such criminal*, and
indeed for most tpen who ure given lo
making morning calls, wc would suggest that
digitoriurai should he provided in every
drawing-room These harmless instruments
might then be the means l ; k * scientific toys,
ol combining amusement with inatruutiou.
A KKoxNT trip of the steamer “City of
Ghesier.” of Ihe Inman Line, from Npw
York to Liverpool wn« enlivened by the wit
of a Washington girl, who was the favorite
passenger. In tlw same steamer was a young
English snob, who wore a suit of clothes of
very large plaid, with a fatigue cap to
match, a single eye-glass, thick soled boots,
spotted shirt and long necktie. He hail that
exasperating drawl peculiar to English snobs
“Aw, vans,” said he, in conversation with
the Washington girl, ‘I have seen consider
able of your country. 1 have been to New
Yawk, (Jhicawgo. Ofimhaw and other places,
and It is a gwate countwy, but you doa’i
seem lo have any gentwy in America.”
• What do you call gentry ?’ usked the
ludy.
“Aw, why people, you know, who doant
have to do anything, you know ; people who
live without work.”
“Ob, yes, we have such people,” nnswered
the young lady, “but we don’t call them gen

‘•Aw, then, what do you call them, pway ?”
“We call them iwamps.”
