A STAR BEHIND MB CLOUD.
No matter hove dark the night,
No matter how black the clouds may
be,
Up in the shrouded sky,
Hidden from watching eye,
Glitters a star for me.
Silvery bright and clear,
Out in the fields of fadeless Woe,
Heedless of cloud and raift,
Fearless of death and pin,
Golden stars in their silent sphere
Twinkle and burn for you.
Summer and winter the same ;
No matter if storm-clouds surge and
roll
Like waves on the frenzied sea ;
In heaven’s bright gallery
Twinkle and glow with a quenchless
flame,
These types of the soul!
No matter how dark thy life }
No matter how gloomy thy watch may
be ;
’Mid sorrow, and pain, and care,
Stijl watching thee everywhere—
Back 6f the curtain of earthly strife
Twinkles a star for thee 1

A Tribute to Mother Love.
BY MAY EBON.
Sages have written and poets sung of
mother love, but the theme has never
been exhausted and will never be. So
long as there are rocks beneath our
feet, or stars above our heads ; so long
as the sun shines in radiant glory, the
flowers bloom in glowing beauty, and
brooks sing on their way to the sea; so
long as there are hearts that ache, and
hearts that break, just that long will
tho name of mother thrill the soul of
man. She mav wander away to foreign
lands, may place hundreds of leagues of
land and sea between himself and the
heart on which his head was pillowed
in childhood, may bare his brow to the
breath of Italian zephyrs, may drink
deep draughis at Parnassian founts,
and writo his name in the proudest
niche of fame’s eternal temply, or he
may sink to the lowest depths of deg
radation, may so mar his God given im
age that the Creator himself would not
recognize it, but he never forgets his
mother; her name will bring a tear to
his eye when nothing else can ; and
her memory will go with him to the
farthest outverge of the world, and the
farthest outcycle of his life.
Other loves, joys and friendships
come to us in life, but none of them
shine with so constant a light as doss
tho devotion of a mother; like the
meteor’s flash they around
our pathway, whilst our efforts are
crowned with success, but leave us to
grope in the dark alone, when we-are
overtaken by adversity, sin or dis
grace.
And as we advance in life, as one by
one its bitter lessens are forced home
to our hearts, as we grapple with its
stern facts, and are taught by its hard
experience as its illusions fade from our
tear-dimmed eyes, its hopes elude our
grasp, its idols lie shattered at our feet;
then and not until then , do we loam the
worth of a mother’s love.
“None like a mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul, and world weary
brain.”
It is a love that bears all things, and
hopes all things, that soothes us in our
sorrows, and cheers us in our joys, that
never chides but in kindness, and never
wounds but to heal, that points us to
the path of duty, and by example leads
us there. This is the one glory left to
a sincursed world, undimmed by the
fall, and it is one that will never be tar* l
nished, uor ever lose its power, until
the sun itself be blown out and the
Arch angels trump souuds the knell of
time.

“Going it Blind.'*
Old Judge L s, who was four
years the circuit Judge of Louisiana,
known as Attakapas county, was iustly
celebrated for his legal learning, and
was greatly be’oved by his neighbors
and his friends. He was stern, up
right and honest, and tho death of the
good old man, which occurred some
years ago, was universally regretted
throughout the State.
Rut with all his book-lore and legal
attainments, ho was, perhaps, not the
greatest mao at cards in his entire cir
cuit. It had been said that he did not
know the “Jack of trumps” from a
diamond. In the village of Opelousas
three individuals were sitting around a
table, in one of those doggeries, “with
a billiard table attached,” which are so
common in the Creole parishes, playing
a small game of three-handed poker,
when a quarrel ensued, which resulted
in an aggravated case of assault and
battery. This did not end tho affair,
for at the next term of court, at the
h< ad of the docket, stood “the State of
Louisiana vs. John Allen, for assault
and battery, with intent to kill, on the
body of Enos-Griggs.”
The trial came on, and the only wit*
ness to the affray was a Captain Johns
son, who was the third in the game
Johnson was skipper of one of those
crafts which transport sugar from that
section of the country to New Orleans,
and a self-confident, go ahead fellow;
and was as undaunted before the Judge
and jury as he would have been before
the crew of his own little After
being sworn he was directed to tell the
court and jury everything he knew
about the affair. After clearing his
throat, he commenced by stating “that
him a.id Griggs and John Allen were
over at Boullet’s grocery, the second
day of election, when Allen proposed
that they should have a small game of
poker j all agreed to it, and we went up
stairs and sat down to the game; did
not know there was any harsh feelings
between Griggs and Allen, or I
wouldn’t a played, but heard after
wards—”
Here the witness was intenupted by
the court, who directed him to keen all
heresays to himself, and confine himself
strictly to the facts of the case.
The witness continued :
“Well, we sat dowD to the (able
Griggs sat there, John Allen here, and
I there a diagram of the clerk’s
tablo, in order to elucidate the position
of the parties)! John Alien dealt the
cards; I went blind; Griggs he went
blind, and John Allen he wouldn’t see
him.”
The Judge, who was a little deaf, was
in the habit of making an ear trumpet,
of his head, for the purpose of shar
pening his hearing, and, throwing his
head a little forward and sideways, in
terrupted the witness by asking him :
“What was the reason that John Al
len didn’t see Griggs ?”
The witness replied:
“I don’t know, but he wouldn’t look
at him.”
“Proceed,” said the Judge.
“Well, I saw him, aod lie saw, and
just at that minute— ”
“Stop, sir,” said the Judge, throw
ing himself into a hearing attitude,
‘ did I understand you to say you went
blind r
“Yes, sir ; I went blind, and Griggs
he was blind, and APen wouldn’t see,
but I saw Griggs, and then he saw—”
“Witness,” exclaimed the Judge,
striking the bench with his clenched
fist, “do I hear you right, sir ? Do
you say that you went blind and then
you saw ?”
“Yes, sir,” replied the witness. “i
saw Griggs, and Griggs saw, and just at
that—”
“Stop, sir,” said the Judge. “Mr.
Clerk, fine that witness fifty dollars for
contempt of court, and direct the Sher
iff to ‘ake him to jail, and there to keep
him until he receives further orders
from the court. Call up the next case,
Mr. Clerk ”
Captain Johnson was dumbfounded,
and not awake to the realiiy of his cou
ditionn until the Sheriff laid his hands
up n him, when he exclaimed :
‘ Good gracious, Mr. Judge, what
have I done that I must go to jail ?”
Tho Judge who was purple with rage,
did not deign to reply to poor Johnson,
but reiterated the order with increased
vehemence; and the junior members of
the bar, who had been anticipating the
fix the Captain would eventually be
placed in, were convulsed with laugh
ter, which increased the rage of the old
Judge to the highest pitch. The pios
ecuting attorney endeavored to enlight.
en the Judge, and eventually succeed
ed, but not until after he had produced
a pack of cards, and after dealing out
three hands, made the blind as clear as
day to the Judge.
The tine and imprisonment were re
mitted, order was restored in the court,
and Captain Johnson was allowed to
proceed with his testimony.

Age of Cows.—Cows live an aver*
age of about fittoen years. ivings on
their horD3 tells the number of their
days. At four years old a ring is form
ed at their roots and every suceeeeding
year another is added.
Thus, by allowing three years before
their appearance, and counting the
number of rings, the age of the cow is
known. It is well for certain members
of the human race losing their bloom,
who are somewhat sensitive on the
question of age, that there are no defi
nite appearances added with annual
precision to their cheeks, revealing to
tho eye what they kcop from the ear.—-

Managing a Wife.
As the storm was bursting, night be
fore last, in all its fury, on outlying
house of one of our suburbs, it blew
open a glass door in John Henry’s bed
room, and awakened the startled sleep
ers with a crash.
“Mrs. Henry/’said John, cuddling
down under the clothes to escape the
icy blast, “your side of the bed is the
nearest; willyou be kind enough to
shut that door ?”
“Shut it yourself, you lazy brute.—
I’ve got the baby to tend to,”
“Mrs. Henry, that is not a proper
way to address me. It is not respect
ful. Besides, I have not been feeling
very well, and, if I were to catch cold,
I should not be able to attend to busi
ness to-morrow.”
“Cold ? Cold is it ? It’s a pretty
thing for you to be talking about colds,
when I go sniffling around the house
from morning till night, just because
you can’t afford anew furnace. I won’t
shut that door if I’m froze for it; and
you're a mean, spiritless thing to ask
it.”
“Don’t get excited, Mrs. Henry; and
don’t be rash; because, if you don’t
shut that door, it will stay open all
night, and that would make us all sick,
you know.”
A solemn silence fell for a few mo
ments on the domestic scene, then Mrs.
Henry rose to business. Anger was
not visible on her countenance so much
as astonishment. This was an entire
new departure of John’s. He had
hitherto been meek and docile when
pressed to the wall, and she felt her
supremacy was in danger; that the sit
uation was critical and demanded strong
measure.
Of a sudden the water pitcher shot
wildly from its sphere, a parabola of
gleaming light, and lighted upon John’s
nightcap. The slop pail came next,
then the coal-scuttle, then a pair of
boots, then the baby’s cradle, followed
in rapid succession by a powder-box, a
bottle of bay rum, a bronze mantel or
nament, and a box of blacking.

Quick Work.
The citizens of Carrollton, Mo., have
been employed in ascer‘aining in how
short a time wheat can be taken from
the field and put down in bread on the
table. The Miller’s Journal prints a
etter signed by the judges, county offi
cials, editors and other citizens of Car
rollton, asserting the truth of the fol
lowing experiment which they watched
with watches in hand. The statement
is as follows :
“The undersigned citizens of Car!-
rollton and vicinity certify that at a tri
al made this day for the purpose of as 1 *
certaining the time in which bread
could be made from wheat taken in the
field standing, the following time was
made by J. F. Lawton, proprietor of
the mill: Commenced cutting with
reaper at 3.01 p m ; finished cutting,
3:02; began threshing at 3.021; fin
ished one bushel at 3.031. Commenced
grinding at 3.04 3-4. Mrs. Lawton
began making bread at 3.08 : finished
at 3.081. Gridd’e cake baked at 3 091,
and biscuit baked and eaten at 312 ;
the whole accomplished in 11 minutes.
The reaper, thresher and the mill were
thoroughly cleaned out before the trial
oimmenced and a particle of flour was
used that and and not come from the wheat
cut in the above trial. The witnesses
kept separate time, and in the result all
time agreed.”
The Corn Crop.
Of all crops raised, probably none is
of such vast importance to farmers as
the corn erop, and on no account should
it be neglected.
Did you ever know any farmer to
fail whose cribs were filled with
corn ?
Did you ever know a mao to emi
grate whose cribs were filled with
corn ?
Did you ever know a man to complain
of hard times whose eribs were filled
with corn ?
Did yo„u ever know a man whose
houses and fences were all in good or
4er, and that such other evidences of
prosperity crowned him, whose cribs
were not filled with corn ?
Did you ever know a planter proud
of himself, loved by his neighbors and
happy in his family, whose cribs were
not filled with corn ?
Did you ever know a man who had
fat horses and mules, hogs, cattle, sheep
and poultry, whose cribs were not fi led
with corn ’/
Did you ever know a man who did not
raise it at home, whose cribs were filled
with corn ?

The Cross and the Crescent.
It is usual, among reoent writers, to
name “ jfhe Cross ” and “ The Cres
cent” to distinguish the respective creeds
in the present Turco-Rassian war. lo
fact, these several symbols plainly mark
the Christian and the Ottoman faiths.
The question when and why the Otto
mans adopted tho Crescent has been
much discussed long before now. It
was alleged that Mohammed broke the
disc of the moon and caught half of it
falling from Heaven in his sleeve—
this is stated in the Koran, and seems
to indicate that Mohammed made the
young moon a sign of his divine au
thority. The crescent, or half moon,
with the horns turned was a
religious symbol, however, long before
the Turkish Empire began. It was re
ported that Sultan Othman, founder of
that empire, A. D. 1299, dreamed that
he saw a crescent moon, which waxed
until its splendor illuminated the whole
world from east to west ; that he then
adopted the crescent and emblazoned it
on his standard, with the motto. Donee
•liepleat Orhem , or “until it fills the
world.” But the crescent moon had
been a symbol well known to the an.
cient worshippers of Diana in the an
cient mythology of Greece and Rome.
There are old statutes of her with the
up-pointing crescent over her brow.—
Another account is that Philip of Mac
edon, father of Alexander the Great,
was engaged one dark night in under
mining the walls of Byzantium, which
he was besieging, and his operations
were discovered to those within by a
sudden appearance of a young moon,
and that in gratitude for this timely
light the Byzantines commemorated
tho frustration of Philip’s hostile de°
Bign by creating a temple to Diana, and
by adopting her crescent as the symbol
of the State. It has also been alleged
that, in 1446, when the Turks took
Byzantium, they adopted tho crescent
standard which they found there and
which the Janizaries had borne for
more than a century previous. Un„
doubtedly, then, the crescent was the
emblem of Greek previous to the supe
riority of the Turkish rule. Oddly
enough, at the present day tho crescent
is to be seen on and in churches in
Moscow and other parts of old Russia,
generally surmounted by the cross, thus
unquestionably marking the Byzantine
origin of the. Russian Church. In 1801
the. Sultan, Selim 111., having previ
ously presented Lord Nelson wi:h a
crescent richly adorned with diamonds,
founded -the order of the crescent,
which, as Mohammedans are not allow
ed to carry such marks of distinction,
has been conferred on Christians alone.
The Turkish order of Medj’die, found
ed by Abdul Medjid in 1852, and lib
erally conferred upon French, English
and Italian officers after the Crimean
war, bears a crescent and a silver sun
of seven triple rays. Assuredly the
crescent dates from the time of En
dymion.—Philadelphia Press.
Ilogs on the Farm.
Some practical hints on breeding and
feeding hogs and the number that may
be kept on an eighty acre farm may be
of interest. 1 keep 6or 8 horses and
colts, 8 to 12 cattle of good short horn
blood, and raise from 75 to 100 pigs
each year, to sell or fatten. I do the
work myself, except during haying and
harvest time, and yet have time to take
my wife and children to visit occasion
ally, and to church and to the Grange.
1 plow 30 or 35 acres ; 20 or 25 acres
in corn, Bor 10 in oats or rye, seed
some to grass and plow some sod every
year. The pigs that come in March I
turn on grass as soon us they can get a
good bite, feeding them ground feed
and soaked corn, keeping them on grass
as long as possible, and fat them the
next winter, selling in February or
March,
The pigs that come io May and June
I feed in the same way, hut don’t fatten
until may or June, turning them on
grass early the next spring, and feed
all the corn they will eat, thus making
from 12 to 15 pounds of pork to the
bushel of corn.
I never pen hogs in small pens or
lots, if I can get a big one, and the
bigger the better. I make sheds in a
new place each winter, on a dry piece
of ground, in a sod field that I intend
to plow in tho spring. I make tempo
rary sheds of plank with plenty of
room, boarded ou three sides, but open
on the south. In this way I have all
the manure on the ground. After feed
ing time I pile the plank until again
needed. I make floored places to feed
on Five dollars worth of inch pine
plank will last to flit SI,OOO worth of
hogs.— A. J. } in Prairie Farmer.

Then, with the majestic force of true
womanhood, she snatched the covers
from the bed with one hand, and pour

the door.
Next morning, as John Henry enter
ed the office somewhat late, and looking
as if Nature’s sweet restorer had rather
missed him, his partner spoke up :
“Well, John, did you try it ?”
“Yes, Sam, I tried it.”
“And she came down, eh ?”
“Yes, Sam. she came down. But it
wasn’t altogether pleasant. They al
ways give in, you say, when one makes
a determined strand against them.—
But, some way, it seems to hurt their
feelings, and I don’t think I’ll do it
any more.”

How the Wheat Region keeps
• Moving Westward.
’ Ex-Seoretary McCulloch, writing
lroui California to the Tribune, says :
“The principal crop which is raised in
California, in fact about the only crop
which is raised for export, is wheat,
which is cut, threshed, and bagged in
the fields, and which, Ly reason of the
dr v ness of the atmosphere, can be ship
ped with a*’ty as soon as harvested.
Wheat is raised to the exclusion of
most other crops, because the soil and
climate are favorable to its production,
because it can be raised with very little
hard labor, and because there is always
a ready market for it. and usually at
remunerative prices, but as farming is
conducted in California, and generally
throughout the United States, wheat is
an exhausting crop It is interesting
and instructive to note how the wheat
growing region changes and recedes.
It : s not many years ago that the
Genesee valley of New York was the
great wheat growing regioD. Who now
hears anything about Genesee, once so
plentiful and so popular with *he mill
ers 1 Then Ohio, Indiana and Michi
gan became the wheat producing States,
in neither of which, except in some
small sections of the last namd States,
is it now either a trustworthy or prof
itable crop.
At the present time tho Eastern mar
kets obtain their chief supplies from
Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota, and
even in these States, except en the
fresh lands, the yield per acre is stead
ily declining The same is becoming
true of California. Her rich valleys
will stand as much bad treatment as
any lands under the sun ; but, rich as
they are, they cannot endure without
showing signs of exhaustion, tho con
stant drain that is being made npon
them by successive crops of wheat with
out rest or help.
The steady decline in the product of
our present wheat lands and the aban*
donment of its present culture where it
was but lately one of the most certain
and prjfitable crops, are not attributa
ble either to natural defects in thp soil
or to changes in the climate, but solely
to the want of intelligent and economi
cal husbandry.”
Tlic Honest Truth,
The naked, honest truth is not so ea
sily obtained as most people imagine.
Agricultural truth is particularly hard
to acquire. The best of cultivators of
ten differ materially about almost
everything connected with farming.—
The honest inquirer sometimes thinks
he has obtained a great truth from a
farmer of acknowledged skill, but the
next farmer he meets may call the
whole thing a delusion and foolishness.
We have been questioning the best
planters wc could find a third of a cen
tury about what they know of farming;
and yet we often sit down in a fog af
ter our most diligent inquiries and clo
sest observations. One planter, noted
for his plain common sense, experience
and success, stated to us that he had
ueen putting up seed cane twenty-five
yoars, and ho then did not know as
much about the best method ot saving
sugar cane as ho thought he knew
twenty-five years ago. Another plan
ter, who had made a fortune out of his
sugar crops, said he could prove, by fig
urt son a slate, that he could make
more money by cultivating cane alone,
and buying his corn, hut that ho al
ways raised his corn, because his slate
and figures lied to him, and expei ience
told him the truth.
One has to dive to the bottom of the
sea for pearls, and work his way into
the bowels of the earth and wash sands
carefully for gold and diamonds ; and
it is equally as difficult to colie :t valua*
ble truths, particularly those relating to
agriculture. The farmer or planter who
thinks he “knows it all,” has just com
menced learning his agricultural alpha
bet. — JV. O. Picayune.

Small Farms.—The advantages of
small farms are briefly in the following
lines : They make near neighbors ;
they make good roads ; they make plen
ty of good schools and churches ; there
is more money made in proportion to
the labor; less labor is wanted ; every*
thing is kept neat; less wages have to
be paid for help ; less time is wasted ;
more is raised to the acre ; besides it
is tilled better; there is no watching
of hired help; the mind is not in a
worry, stew, a fret all the time.
