GARDEN FRUIr.-All growers of rasp-

disease and nproductiveness, by 1ulch-

such as weeds, grass, leaves and tho

To PRESERVE A BoQUEr.-We find In
an exchange paper, the following recipe
for preserving a bouquet said to be from
florist of many years experience.
When you receive bouquet sprinkle
it lightly with fresh water then put 1t
into a vessel containing some soapsuds
this will nutrify the roots and keep the
flowers as bright as new. Taks the
bouquet out of the suds every morning
and lay it sideways (the stock entering
irst) into clean water, keep it there a
minute or two, then take 1t out and
sprinkle the flowers lightly by the hand
with water-replace it in the soap-suds,
and it will bloom as fresh as when first
gathered TIE soap-suds needs changing
every three or four days. By observing
these rules a bouquet can be kept bright
and beautiful for at least month, and
will last still longer in very passable
state but attention to the fair but frail
creatures, as directed above, must be
strictly observed or all will perish.

IMPROVEMENT IN PLoWs.-A t1lScOu-

acting on the rotary principle. The i'm
provement is said to consist in lessening
the draught one half-accomplishing a
third more work than the common plow-
raising the earth and turAing it complet-
ely over, leaving light and in excellent
ondition-cutting an eighteen inch fur
row,-aud cleaning itself in al kinds Of
land, desirable and long called for i'm
provement by the Wisconsin farmers.
Some gentlemen of Beloit endeavored
to construct plow on the rotary princip-
lie, two or three years ago but were un
able TO make it work successfully. If the
invention of Mr.. Hoyt will work well,
and accomplishes the result claimed, it is
worth the serious attention of all plow
manufacturers He will soon file his
papers for patent, and his invention
will be submitted to examination. Actual
experiment will soon demonstrate its
practical value.

Day Dawn.

Softly, softly comes the Day Dawn,
Gently beams the morning light,
Kindling Up the arch of heaven
Sending forth its radiance bright
Bidding us our morning slumber
Break, to greet the young and gay
This is always sent to notice
The approach of coming Day.
Slowly. slowly fades the starlight,
Pale the moonbeams slow away,
Yielding to the brighter beaming
That attends the Dawn of Day.
While the songsters that have rested
Through the quietness of Night.
Fill again the airy regions
With their songs of pure delight,
Sternly stand the gathered shadows.
Not "a step will Night retire,
Seeming to have taken umbrage
That SO many Dawn admire.
Dawn so pure, so cool and gentle,
Brother to the Twilight grey,
Seeking ever for reunion,
But forbid by ruling Day.
Fragrant Day Dawn, ever vending
To the west thy silent flight,
Shielding with thy magic pinions
Sun-rays from the shade of Night.
Still we love thee, still we cherish,
In our hearts glowing pride.
For thee and thy only brother,
Which the days and nights divide.

A bright and lovely thought
'Tis about little. fairy.
But, sure, you'll tell it not?
'Tis about little fairy
That once loved full well,
And her mother called her Mary
But, sure, you will not tell.
Her lips were sweet as berries,
Her teeth as white as snow:
Her cheeks were red as cherries,
And was Mary's beau.
For hours we used to sit and talk,
Her hand in mine encased;
Or in the mellow moonlight walk,
Ny arm around her waist.
Once we sauntered by the river,
Conversing as We went,
Till the silver moons last quiver
Ger the placid wave was sent. :.

With many a trembling thought

Nothing is more gratifying thar
to see rascality jump over itself, and
metapborieally speaking, break Its
neck. Every one is pleased when a
mean man or wicked man lays an
especially cute trap, into which he
falls himself; and such an incident as
the following, which we find in the
Buffalo Eapress, never fails to cause
a very hurricane of laughter:
A gentleman left Cleveland for
New York at an early hour in the
morning, without his breakfast, and
being very hungry, upon the arrival
of the train at Erie, entered the d.

landlord passed on. Our friend de-
liberately arose, and opening his car
pet-bag full in its wide mouth, dis
coursed unto it saying:
"Carpet-bag, it seems you're an
indiyidual--a human individual,
since you eat--at least I've paid for
you and now you must eat" upon
which he seized everything eatabie
in his reach, nuts, raisins, apples,
cakes, pies, and amid the roars OF the
bystanders, tho delight ofhis brother
passengers, and discontinue of the
landlord, phlegmatically went and
took his seat in the cars. lie said
he had provisions enough to last him

Twilight.


Twilight.
In the east old Night was coming
Dressed in dark and solemn hue,
Yet page was bid precede him
And give all notice due.
Gentle Twilight bore the message
With a sweet and tranquil mien,
Bidding all he met be ready
For the changing of the scene.
He was ever calm and gentle,
He was ever still and quiet,
Coming at the dawn of even
Just before the steps of Night.
Oft he wept to think so sternly
Night would not himself delay.
But was always bent to hasten
Closely on retreating Day.
Lovers loved him, Poets loved him.
Sages ofthis presence sought.
Dreaming there they might ehgulf them
In tranquil sea of thought.
All adored him, and when passing
With light footsteps Ger the lawn,
Each was half inclined TO think him
Brother to the early Dawn.
Blossoms fragrant shut their petals
At his warning. lest that Night
Should within their open chalice,
Venture and extract delight.
Dav.s sweet birds no longer render
To the list'ning trees their Bong,
Fearing lest that watchful Echo
Should to Night their strains prolong.
Lonely is the gentle Twilight,
Tranquil as an infants breath
Sleeping meath the dropping curtains,
Tranquil as an Echo's death.
Light his footsteps ever seemeth,
Lighter yet they seem to be,
When with some dear one beside us
He o'ertakes us on life's sea.
