CURED for sowing on his farm. Suppose
the price Of the imported oats to be $i 80
bushel, the two would cost 90 90, and
the price Of country oats was so cents, the
two woulpeost$ 81. The expense of chang.
ing the seed would be per annum 80. The
estimate IS not given as matter of accura-
cy, but as formula, by which every one
can make his own calculations.
In procuring change of seed, there are
other points necessary to be attended to
besides the quality Of the grain, and one of
these is to guard against bringing with it
the weeds incident TO the country or fields
where it has grown; for want of attention
TO this, there are farmers who have intro.
duced into their fields, along with the clover
they sowed, the narrow leafed plantain,
which arrogates to itself place which
would otherwise be occupied by clover to
the desrincnt of his hay, both in Quantity
and quality, and that more serious curse,
The Bensalem clover or white dairy all
this is the result of their not taking suffi.
cent care in the selection Of their clover
seed.
In the British Islands, their oat and bar.
ley fields at some seasons are entirely vel.
low; nothing is to be seen save the bloom
Of ihe wild mustard in some districts called
Schedules and this is not the only ono of
this class of yellow towering spring weed;
in wheat they have what is here called
cookie, the seed Of which Is detrimental to
superfine flour. All those should be guard.
ed against by the European agent; and to
prevent mischief, the seed after it comes here,
should be rcsitted in sieve that will separate
the weeds from the pure grain, always col
lec,ing and burning the obnoxious seed.
In proof Of the sincerity that the writer
en,ertains favorable opinion Of this sys-
tenn, he will import for next seasons sow.
ing, one hundred bushels of selected bar.
ley, one hundred of each variety of oats
already spoken OF, and, it being foo late for
receiving wheat for the ensuing sowing,
measures will be taken for bringing to this
country wheat for the following year.
Such persons as take an interest in re.
newing their seed grain, are invited to APP
ply TO the subscriber who will furnish them
with any quantity not less than bushel.-
The cost will be governed by the price
abroad, and the expense of bringing the ar.
ticlcs here. The transaction will be at
tended with considerable trouble, and the
limited extent Of the operation will satisfy
all who reflect that there are other motives
for undertaking the business than that Of
making money.
Letters, post paid, will be duly attended

Haze NAEBODY NOW.
BY THE ETTRIcK SHEPHERD.

BY THE ETTRIcK SHEPHERD.
/ hae naebody now--I haze naebody now,
To meet me upon the green,
WI light locks waving DER her brow,
An joy in her deep blue cen:
WI the soft sweet kiss an the happy smile,
An the dance o. the lightsome fay,
An the wee bit tale o. the news the while
That had happened when was away.
/ haze naebody now-I hae naebody now
To clasp to my bosom at even;
Der her calm sleep to breathe the vow,
An pray for blessing from heaven;
An the wild embrace, an the gleesome face,
In the morning that met mine eye;
Where are they now 2 Where are they now I?
In the cauld, cauld grave they lie.
Theirs naebody kens-ther's naebody kens,
An o, may they never prove
The sharpest degree of agony
For the child of their early love
To see flower in its vernal hour
By slow degrees decay;
Then softly aneath in the arms o. death
Breathe its sweet soul away.
o dinna break my poor auld heart,
Nor at my loss repine;
Far the unseen hand that threw the dart
Was sent from her Father and thine.
Yes, maun mourn, an paI mourn,
Even to my latest day:
For though my darling can never return,
shall follow her soon away.

THE RESTLESS ONE.

by LIEUT.. @. w. PArrEN, U. s. ARMY.
She knew his brow was clouded,
And she leaned it on her hand,
And gently wooed him to her side,
With breath like breezes bland.
But he gazed upon banner,
As il fioated on in pride,
And while he marked its cleaning stars,
They 1on him from his bride!
They lured him from the presence
OF the cherished and the true,
No moro to gaze upon her face,
Her gentle step pursue:
And yet through lifs's long pathway,
When the aisles of Hope grew dim,
Bright as deed of glory
Was the smile she had for him.
She know they must be parted
Ere they had scarcely met;
And faster tear drops dimmed her eyes,
That none but hers were wet.
And shs wore spell of sorrow
Which she learned unto her Lutte,
But the trumpet had a deeper charm,
And thu lovers ear was mute.
He LETT the song of Beauty,
For the music of the plain;
The lowly breathing of the Tyre
For paans DER tho slain;
And yet that Tyre sweet chorded,
That voice like mockbird's tone,
For him was glrnered all its notes,
For him it sang alone.
Time was, Loves smile might conquer
What the sword could ne'er disarm;
When strong was woman's lowly prayer,
AS the might of the mailed arm.
But the magic spell is over,
And the syron voice is dumb;
While love forgets his gentle Lutte,
And he strikes the doubling drum.

OF the animal, the prospects of escape, when
it became too hot for him, and he leaped
overheard, carrying with him as he slid
down the vessels side, several of the pas
sengers who were still clinging there. His
immense weight probably carried him to the
bottom ere he rose, as he reappeared after
some time at considerable distance. This
animal also instinctvely swan towards the
nearest land but as the boat was by this
time driited four or five miles out to sea, he
must have persisted. The rest Of the mena.
gerie, consisting of lions, tigers, &C., were
allowed TO become prey TO the flames, as,
on account of their ferocity, il was deemed
dangerous to loose them.
The Captain thinks that if the engine had
been on deck, the boat could have run on
shore, and the fire oxtnguishcd. The Port
land Courier says that the fire was caused
by the boiler becoming red hot from want of
water.

desert world. Thrones and palaces are
more frequently the abodes of misery, than

Etymology of the names of Countries

Etymology Of the names Of Countries
The following countries we're named by
the PhGnicians, the greatest commercial
people of the ancient world. These names
in the Phunician language, signify some-
thing characteristic of the places which
they designate. :.
Europe signifies the country Of white
complications. So named because the inhab-
itants there were Of a lighter complexion
than those of Asia and Africa.
Asia signifies between, or in the middle
from the fact that geographers placed it be-
tween Europe and Africa.
Africa signifies the land of corn and
ears. Ii was celebrated for its abundance
of corn, and all sorts of grain.
Lydia signifies thirsty or dry, very char
acteristic Of the country.
Spain country Of rabbits or comics
This country was once so infested by these
animals that they sued to Augustus for an ar
my to destroy them.

We would refer our readers to the ad-
vertsement in another column headed
I" Saratoga Of Michigan" The St. Clair
Republican of the 18th inst. says in rela-
ton to it, "We are proud to learn that Edwin
Forrest Esq. the American Tragedian, is
about to devote some of his well earned
capital in the improvement of one of the
most beautiful spots in our infant state
Mr.. G. r. Lilibrdgc, proprietor of Sara
toga Of Michigan, has we understand, sold
the undivided half of that village for fifteen
thousand dollars to be expended in erecting
a spacious Hotel, to be opened for the re-
ception of company in the Chalybcate
Springs, early in 1898.
We heartily rejoice in the spirit of en-
terprise that has actuated Mr.. Lillibridge to
visit the eastern states last summer, with a
view to find suitable partner in his anti.
cipated operations. II cannot be doubted,
that genteel place of resort in the heart of
Michigan, possessing the many advantages
that the new Saratoga does, will be patronz-
ed, not only by her citizens, but by num-
orous strangers from considerable dis
lance. We make this last assertion from
the fact that the projected railroad across
Canada to Detroit, and the railroad from
Detroit to st. Joseph, passing near to Sar-
atcga, which is situated six miles north OF
Dexter village, will afford an excellent OPP
portunity for the visitors at Niagara Falls
extending their tour, not only to Saratoga,
but through to the shores oflake Michigan"
This is well. Mr.. Forrest has invested
his money where it will be equally advan.
tageous to himself and the public, and We
are glad to find the name Of our talented
and enterprising countryman associated
with the contemplated Saratoga of Mich.

young Granger returned at day break, with Seiord
md Rutzen wtha few goods saved from the fire,
they started with surprise to see the metamorphose.
A PLAZA carpet was on the floor, Ind few chamber
