MISCELLANY.
TIE OLDEN TIME.

The following lively sketch of the In
auguration Ball given in New Y ork, on
the occasion Of General Washington's
accession to the Presidency, is derived
from Col. Stones "Talcs s. Sketches"
Extensive preparations had been made
by the subscribers to the city dancing
assemblies, to pay the President the
compliment of an Inauguration ball. The
honored lady Of the chieftain, however,
had. not accompanied her august hus-
band to New-Y York, but was to follow in
few days. The anxiety for her arriv-
al was therefore great, though Of course
proportienably less than it had been for
the President elect himself. But short
time interviewed, however, before her
approach to Elizabethtown was .announ-
ced, accompanied by the lady of Robert
Morris, of Phladel lpha--then in the
federal Senate. She was met by the
President at Eizabethtown Point, who
proceeded thithcr with. Robert Morris,
and several other gentlemen of distinc-
ton, in the barge already described,
rowed as before. by thirteen eminent. pi-
lots, in handsome white dresses. The
passage through the bay again present
ed brilliant spectacle; a salute was fir
ed from the Battery; and on her landing
she was welcomed by crowds of citizens
who h,d assembled to testify their JOY.
There was more Of etiquette in the ar
rangements for this complimentary ball,
than was thought by some to be exactly
consistent with our republican institu-
tons, and more in fact, than was alto
gcthcr agreeable to the feelings Of HIM
IN whose honor it was observed. In
connexion with the managers Of the as
sembly, Col. HUMPHREYS and Col. VIM.
Smith, were selected to adjust the cere-
monies, and their arrangements were re-
! ported as follows:-At the head of the
room, upon platform, handsomely car
peted, and beneath a rich drapery of
curtains and banners, was placed dam
ask covered sofa, upon which the Pres.
dent and Lady Washington were to be
seated. The platform was ascended by
+ a flight Of three or four steps. The cos
vi thC was DreScTIDcu
their hair was TO be dressed in bags,
with two long curls on the sides, with
powder, Of course, and all were to ap-
pear and dance with small swords
, Each gentlemen, on taking partner to
dance, was to lead her to the foot of the
sofa, and make low obeisancc TO the
President and his lady, and repeat the
ceremony before taking their seats after
the figure was concluded. The decora-
+ tons of the assembly room were truly
splendid, and very tastefully dispersed.
AT that time there had been no more
brilliant assemblagc of ladies in Ameri
{ ca, than were collected on this occasion
Few jewels were then worn in the Uni
ted States; but in other respects thei
dresses were rich and beautiful accord
| ing to the fashion Of the day.
H The ball was truly an elegant enter
tainmcnt, and is recollected as such b,
D few who yet survive the brilliant circl,
that graced it. The old city assembl,
room in which it took place, was in
large wooden building standing upon tn

Thy name-thy virtues, are imprest;
And not one tint--one little trace,

Upon the ear of joyous youth
But sweeier does thy memory come
To this fond hearth its hallowed homo;--
Awakening many gentle sigh

Oh never shall my soul forget,
That happy hour when irst we met;
Friendship and joy around it threw
Each magic charm and rainbow hue.
All that is pleasing, bright and fair

And write within the feeling soul
Their characters Of joy, or pain,
Ere we shall meet on earth again.

To MECHANIcs.-Of all pursuits OF
life, none certainly ensures comfort and
responsibility more than that of me-
chanic. The man who understands a
useful trade, if blessed with health, need
never wan. food or clothing, or shelter,
provided he be industrious and prudent
So well have the Jews understood this,
that every Jew, whatever his rank, in all
ages, has been required to learn some
useful trade.
Why is it then that so many skilful
men Of this class, have never more than
the bare necessaries of life ? their fami.
lies scantily supplied with food; nothing
laid up; and when death comes perhaps
wife and children are left destitute and
helpless? The simple reason in nine cas-
es out of ten, is this: they indulge in the
useless, pernicious, destroying practice
of drinking spirits. Useless, as is prov
ed by the testimony Of medical men and
all who abstain from it; pernicious, from
its inwariable effects on the health, dis
position and morals; wasting, for it leads
most generally to poverty and want; de-
stroying, for responsibility, property and
life, fall a sacrifice before it.
A mechanic who is 40 years Of age
and who has expended IL 1-2 cents ;
day. for spirits, who is feeling the bitter
ness of powerfully saving this sum, h'
mig ht since he was 81 years of age
have accumulated about 1000 dollars
if he is fifty years of age, 1900 dollars
sixty years Of age, 37OO dollars.

A morning freshness round thee;
A single star was rising then,
With mild and lovely motion,
And scarce the zephyr's gentle breath
Went Ger the sleeping ocean.
] love the memory of that hour
II wakes pensive feeling,
Az when within the winding shell
The playful winds are stealing;
1t tells my heart of those bright years,
Ere hope went down in sorrow
When all The joys Of yesterday,
Were painied on tomorrow.
Where art thou now' Thy once loved flowers
Their yellow leaves arc twining,
And bright and beautiful again
Tha, single star is shining;
But where art lhou' The bended grass
A dewy stone discloses,
And loves bright footsteps print the ground
Where all our peace reposes
Farewell! my tears are not for thee,
'Twcre weakness 10 deplore thee
Or vanly mourn thine absence here
While angels half adore thee;
Thy days were few and quickly told
Thy short and mournlul story
Hath ended like the morning star
That melts in deeper glory.

BROOM CORN.

Mr. Shpman, Of Hadley, We suspect, is the
greatest Broom Manufacturer in New England
He will make not less than ttoo hnaIrcd thousand
this year. Broom corn is the staple commodity of
this rich and thriving village, even to greater ex-
tent, we suspect, than its neighbor just over the
Connecticut, the goodly town Of Hatfield The
meadows belonging to these two villages, present
rich and beautiful landscape jus, at this time
The crops principally removed with the ex-
cep,ions Of the broom corn, and the immense fields
of this rich commodity, with its extended surface
Of ,asse and brush, are altogether pretty to behold
Broom corn grows to the height of eight and ten
feet, the stain slender and the leaves but few. Al
the top comes out the brush, like ar inverted
broom, furnishing rich and unique sight, where
extended fields of half a mile in extent are found,
to an eye unused to such spectacle The price
is in advance Of last year, and fine crop is anti
eipaied. Northampton Courier.

HOW numerous and diversified are the opjnions of

writer In the Portsmouth Journal, and maintains
That II man leaves his corn unorped, he loses in
fodder, loses IN the weight of his corn and ncreas
es his labor. He says he has sometimes pursued
this mode, but always repen,ed il before harvest
ing. Ills theory is, that as II is contrary to nature
Tor sap TO flow down towards the roots, the ear can
not derive the least benefit from the top in its full
grown state, but on the contrary the constant eva.
poraon from the top Injuries the ear, and makes it
shrink. Here we have not only theory against the
DRY, but one mans experience leading to different
result from another mans experience. 1t may be
proper to remark, however, that the Northampton
writer, who is in favor If leaving corn untorped.
has been much more careful experimener than
the Portsmouth writer. The latter has apparently
never weighed any corn, but has Judged Of quality

QUEBEC AGRICULTURAL REPORT, FOR
AUGUST 1894

The usual Reports for June and July have been
oni"eh Inc season continued cold and wet ill
the last week in June, and although the seed time
had been carly, all crops were then more backward
than usual. In the first week in July the warm
weather set in, mud continued hot and dry with
very little ncrmsson, till the middle Of August
The thermometer rose, on two different days, TO
between 80 deg. and 100 deg. in the shade and
he drought ncarly dried up the streams, wells, and
springs.
The heat, with the great moisture which was in
the ground when it first set in, brough, forth all
sorts Of crops with extraordinary ra7idny and
after they covered the ground few slight rains
and thunder showers and heavy dews, kept them
in vigor
There never was n better hayng season than
the last the quantity is full average, and of good
quality.
Potatoes and turnips have suffered most by the
drought, and will be but short crop excepting on
new land. Peas have also suffered on the dry
lands, where they usually sown. Oats are gen
orally good.
The wheat harvest began early in August, and
the weather has been favorable for getting it hous-
ed in good order The crop, most Of which is
now cut, is fair average, although il has suffered
on ilght lands and in some places severely, by the
small brick -colorcd worms >,hc grain the rava-
The germ Of these worms seem to be deposited in
the eur about the time the wheat is in BLOSSOM or
soon after Wheat on nigh lands has suffered the
cns but the injury to several grains in many ears
is very general, and in some nothing remains but
tho chhtf.
The pastures, and consequently the produce Of
the dairy, were unfavorabc affected by the
drought, but The live stock remain in good condi.
ton.
TIE gardens have suffered from the same cause
| The orchards were well stocked with fruit but a
great part of the apples have fallen off, probably
for wan, Of moisture, and arc much Injured by
| worms.
| The return Of tho cholera to Quebec with the
setting in Of warm weather in July, and its sp;eod
throughout the country, have diminished trade and
intercourse, and every sort of enterprise and in
dustry, and consequently unfavoraby affected the
markets Although much less was brought for
sale than usual, the scarcity of money has kept the
prices lower than common and leaves but un
promising prospects. 1t hehoves TO humble
ourselves upon the severe visitation which has now
fallen on almos, every country throughout the
| world TO comfort and aid each other in attic
tons and necessities; anu leading quiet and order
ly lives, carefully to search out and adopt means
diminishing the evil in future.
