recen, crop has been very abundant. The
Detroit Advertiser says
The harvest is oversize prospect Of
Michigan fm full treasury from her late
golden fields. is placed beyond peradven-
ture. The surplus wheat from this State
will, in the opinion of experienced far
mers and millers. double that Of any prece.
ding year. This may seem extlavagani;
but NOT few men whose judgment is
deemed valuable, express tina, opinion
The Quality Of the berry is. in general,
excellent; aud The yield Of -four will be
also large in proportion. Cora has re.

snd now bids fair to yield handsomely.-
The fears which were produced BY the

We find funny story told of a mills

paper. He commanded the Sacarappa
company, and on certain occasion, while
drilling this limb Of the nations bulwark
in the art CT "grim-visaged war;" the
soldiers got into an inextricabie snarl, and
it was found necessary to stop the beating
of the drum. Instead of the usual phrase
'halt," our commander bawled on, some-
what pettishly, "stop that drumming!"
Not understanding this order, the mu-
stefan continued 10 perform his "randan-
niddles," land fammldiddles, with as much
vigor as ever.
stop that drumming" shouted our
hero the second time, but the unconscious
drummer, with head erect and foot on the
move, still went on.
The indignant captain could bear it no
longer-marched directly up to the mu-
stefan, he drew his "batlle blade" with a
flourish, and plunging it through the head
of the instrument, exclaimed, In voice of
thunder:
"There blast you, now rub-a.dub."

How to mnrblise Pla,,er Paris.

Take 2 parts stearine. 2 parts veni,ian
soap, part pearlash, and "a to 80 parts
solution Of caustic potash. The stearine
and soap are cut in slices, mixed with the
cold ley and boiled for about half an hour,
constantly stirring. Whenever the mass
rises little cold ley is added. The pear
lash, previously moistened with little
rain-water, is then added and the whole
boiled for few minutes. The mass is
then stirred until cold, when it is mixed
with SO much cold ley that it becomes per-
fectly liquid. and runs off the spoon wi,h~
out coagulating and contracting. Before
using this composition, it should be kept
several days well covered. 1t may be
preserved for years. Before applying it
to the objects, they should be well DUST
ed, the stains scraped away, and then
coated by means of thick brush, as long
as the plaster of paris absorbs it, and left
to dry. The coating is then busted with
a leather or soft brush. If the surface has
not become shining the operation must
be repeated.

How blessed would the journey be

Beckon the glossy leaves between,
And Ger the blooms that there are blowing
Nor blight nor winters wrath hath been

How healing must their breathing be I!

For sparkled the eyes, and the forehead was

Of the little boy that died.
Again will 60 to my fathers house
Go home to the dear ones all,
And sadly I'll open the garden gate,

I shall meet my mother, but never more

shall see his toys and his empty chair.
And the horse be used to ride;
And they will speak with silent speech,
Of the little boy that died.
I shall see his little sister again,

And I'll watch the children in their sport
AS never did before;
And, if in the group, see child

We shall go home to our fathers house
To our fathers house in the skies,
Where the hope of our soul shall have no
blight,
And our love no broken ties;
We shall roam on the banks of The River of
peace,
And battle in its blissful tide;
And one of the joys of our heaven shall be
The little boy that died.

Oh sweet DER my soul in its solitude,
Are the feelings of gladness that glide;
Though my heart and my eyes are full when l
