The DELETERIoUs YANKEE INFLUENCE
From the Mobile Register we clip the following
account of Yankee colony in Georgia We can
speak from personal acquaintance of the present
inhabitants of Liberty county. 1t lies along the
sea shore, and includes large extents of swamp
lands. Over these, expensive causeways have been
constructed, and they are the very best roads
that have been built in the worst of countries. In
many places they are lined with the ancient live
oaks. The county is famous for its schools and
churches, while the hospitality of the people is
such, that formerly several of them actually used
to send out refreshments the most delicate and sub

HANS IN SUMmER.-To preserve hams
during the summer, writer in the Genesee
Farmer says:
Make a number Of common cotton bags,
a little larger than your hams; after the
hams are smoked, place them il the bags;
then get the very best kind Of sweet, well
made hay, cut with cutting box or knife,
and with your hands press it around tie
hams in the bags; tie your bags with good
strings, put on card the year to show
;heir age, and hang them up in your garre;
or some dry place; and my word for it, if
you let them hang for five years, they will
be better for boiling than OH the day you
put them mp. have kept them seven years,
and have some now that are four years old.
This method costs but little. .as the bag lasts
for years. The only loss is the hay, and
that cattle will eat If given 10 them in the
winter. No flies or bugs will trouble the
hams if the hay is well pressed around them,
the sweating Of the hams will be taken up
by the hay, and the hay will impart fine
flavor to the hams.

THE FATAL JOkE.
BY HELEN c. GAGE.


Iwas once present where q small party
of young persons were warmly discussing
the subject of practical joking. After 4
long and interesting debate, the question
seemed about to be decided in its favor
when q gentleman, whose singular melap-
choIy and detected air at once attracted
our attention, related the following story:
In my younger days, was remarkable
for my fondness for practical joking, even
to such a degree that | never allowed q
good opportunity TO pass unimproved.
NV orphan cousin, Robert, to whom was
fondly attached, was Of different nature
from this. He was sober, sedate and grave
almost to fault, very thoughtful and very
bashful. This stupidity, as ] called it, was
often q check upon my natural gaiety, and

did, merely to crafty me. Poor Robert

A girl, young and pretty but above all,
gifted with an air Of adorable candor, late

The gentleman of the bar had of course

third persons overheard him, replied un-

"Mademoiselle, according to our law you

A fortnight afterwards, the young person,
more native and candid than ever, knocked
Idiscreetly at the door Of her counsel's room.
No sooner was she witEin than she flung
herself hastily into chair, saying that she
had mounted the stairs too rapidly, and that
emotion made her breathless. Her counsel

inhale salts, and even proposed to unlace

THE SUMNER BIRDS.

Sweet warblers of the sunny hours
Forever on the wing
! love them as love the flowers,
The sunlight and the spring.
They come like pleasant memories,
In summers joyous time,
And sing their gushing melodies,
As would sirg rhyme.
In the green and quiet places,
When the golden sunlight falls
We sit with smiling faces.
To list their kfiver calls:
And when their holy anthems,
Come pealing through the air,
Our hearts leap forth 10 meet them,
With atlessing and prayer.
Amid the mornings fragrant dew
Amid the inists of even
They warble on as If they drew
Their music down from Heaven.
How sweetIy sounds each mellow nole,
Beneath the moons pale ray,
When dying Zephyrs rise and float,
Like lovers sighs away.
Like shadowy spirits seen at eve.
Among the tombs they glide,
When sweet pale forms for which we griev'
Lie sleeping side by side.
They break with song the solemn hush,
Where peace recIines her head,
And link their joys with mourniul thoughts
That cluster round tLe dead.
For never can MY. soul forget
The loves Of other years;
Their memories fill my spirit yet
I've kept them green with tears.
And their singing gree!s my heart at times,
As in the days Of yore,
Though their music and their loveliness
Are o'er-foTever DER.
And often when the mourniul night
Comes with low sweet tune,
And sets star on every height,
And one beside the moon;
When not sound Of wind nor wave
The holy stiffness mars,
emkk nbOve and strive 10 iTsce
Their dweiingin the stars.
The birds The birds OF summer hours
They bring a gust OF glee,
To the child among the fragrant flowers
To the sailor on the sea.
We hear their thrilling voicrs
In their swift and airy fight,
And the inward heart rejOices
With a calm and pure delight.
In the stiffness OF the starlight bVnrs,
When am with The dead,
Oh! may they fiutter mid the flowers
That blossom DER my head:
And sing their songs of giadness forth
In one melodious strain,
Der lips whose broken melody
Shall never sing again.
