HELIANTHus, OR suN-FLowER PLAN

HELIANTHUS, OR SUN-FLOWER PLANT.
We presume that it is not generally
known that this plant, which is often re-
garded as q worse than useless cumberer
OF the ground. is cultivated extensively in
some parts ofthe United States, and turned
to very valuable account in variety of
ways. The versatility of its powers, so to
speak, are even greater than the morus
multicaulis. We have before us a letter
from firm In Pennsylvania, which gives
US some interesting facts, which we think
are worthy of publicity.
The oil derived from the sun-hower
seed is pretty well known. lis excellence
for fancy painting and druggist use is
| said to be confirmed, and we are even
told that it is equal, il not superior to al
mond or olive oil for table USE One acre
of ground will produce from forty to fifty
bushels Of seed, and sometimes much more.
Good seed will produce gallon of oil to
the bushel, and the oil has been sold at
81 SO per gallon when faxseed oil stood
at 80 cents. The refuse after the oil is
expressed, is said to be valuable food for
cattle.
The leaf is manufactured into cigars of
a mild pleasant flavor, possessing, as it is
said, powerful pectoral properties, highly
commended by physicians in many dis
eases ofthe chest. The leaves, properly
cured, will bring from FIVE to fifteen cents
per pound.
The stalk, when stripped of the leafand
seed, may be burnt, and superior alkali
made from the ashes.
The comb of the seed, or properly the
hlaments of the flower. is excellent feed
for cattle or hogs.
The helianthus is cultivated in the
vicinity of York, Penny and gentle
man in 1887. cultivated one hundred acres.

How oft have in blithsome boyhood days,
With laughing heart and hand enciasped in his,
From house to house, Ger well-remembered ways,
His steps directed, filled with conscious bliss.
And then my anxious ear would list some tale
Of desp'rate strife with England's tyrant power,
When ardent hopes and iron hearts would fail,
But freedoms standard babe them never COVER

Was pregnant once with burning thoughts Of fame,
And hope with glowing fervor babe me shine

And life a fair and fow'ry vale appeared;
Tho world was beautiful and men inclined
To succor anguish. These have disappeared.
" This earth is but faint epitome
Of that dark realm where hells grim despot reigns
Contention, blood, and sin, and misery

And profers pardon. Yes! to ALTO you.''

Thy bones will rest more quiet in the grave
For thee, 'twere vain to drop one bitter tear:

length Of time. Below are some chasto, we'll

Most cheerfnlly do I give them place in the Tel

Dear Sir:-My own sad experience has
taught me that, to the bereaved heart, every
word or look, denoting sympathy, sprecious,
more precious than the unchastened heart
can conceive. Permit me, then, TO Offer
you these few lines, claiming no other mer

heavenly Father has for wise purposes min

He tondly loved and well he might, for his
Best earthly hope was there. That prop on
which
He hoped TO lean to aid his trembling steps

Love, had felt such happiness as earth can
seldom boast.
They who were left behind, by
Sad experience knew the vanity
OF earthly JOY, and thus had learned TO look
For thar OF more enduring worth. But vet
The aged father hoped this last remaining
treasure, ne might still enjoy that this
dear
Child, whose presence made his heart re-
juice, might
Live to light his rugged path, and smooth
his
Passage TO the grave.
But no ; unerrlng
Wisdom had not thus decreed the father

Gaze, wither and fade, nipp'd by the chill
Frost Of death. Day after day, he watch,d
with
Anxious heart and searching eve. to see the
SLOW OF health rekindle on that faded
Cheek, and fire of youth illume that sunken
Eye. But looked 10 vain, for this could

Soul IN this dark trying hour of sorrow !;
The world TO him is nothing worth, for
Which i contains can heal his breaking

A smile Of joy shone through those tears

BedImm'd his eyes, and as he upward look
heard him say, My God forgive that wish
10 alter thy decree--thy will be done;
Then turn'd them back, with humble resig-

Now to take lingering last farewell.

Nothing. Well might an ancient propbe,
