NEVER STOP.

Life is wGsting-time is flying,
All its sands will soon be run;
BE ye up and be ye trying.
Cease not till your work is done.
Though no star its light dtfuses,
And you stumble oft and fall,
Never stop to rub your bruises,
Travel on in spite Of all.
Onward, onward, and to morrow
What looks fearful to you now,
Will depart with every horror,
That o'erhangs the mountain brow;
Though your labor all amuses,
And save conflicts on you fall,
Never stop to rub your bruises,
Travel on in spite Of all.
Tho your friends may all forsake you,
Never mind the seeming i'll;
Leaving them perhaps will make you
Some like serpents charm to kill
Should the one affection chooses.
Cause your fondest hopes to fall
Never stop to rub your bruises,
Travel on in spite Of all.
Hoist the sail all through the ocean,
Seems so peacefully at rest
Hoist the sail and wait the notion
Winds are nesting in its breast;
Waking then new life infuses,
Loud the battling breezes squall,
Then, then the bark with all her bruises.

An INTERESTING SLAVE CAsE.-A trial

ago, that is Of interest throughout the slave
holding section. A man named Davenport,
charged with killing a slave was convicted of
manslaughter and sentenced to seven years
hard labor in the penitentiary. The Nicks-
burg Wig says:
"lhis was a case OF some importance to the
Shareholders. The accused was an overSeer.
and pleaded in his defence that the slave was
resisting his authority when he gave the blow
causing death. We learn that his honor

circumstances would be no justification TO the
accused for killing him"

most easily cultivated, and the cheapest
bread grain in the world. 1t is extensively
cultivated, in Belgium and some parts Of
France, where it forms the basis Of food fer
the Inhabitants. Though its properties are
very different from wheat il is, nevertheless,
quite as rich in all important compounds
and in extremely cold weather, it is more
substantial than wheat 1t is, however less
digestible, and apt to disagree with weak
stomachs, or persons unaccustomed to it.
BY analysis buckwheat is second 10 wheat

addition of one-fourth quantity of cat, or In

WORK FOR JUNE.

The great corn crop is truly the staff of life
of the country. Now, during the present
month it requires the especial care OF the
cultiva.or Let it be thinned early, as soon
as it is cut Of danger from birds and worms.
Start the cultivators in at an early day, to
clean out the rows in each direction, and 90
over quickly with the hoes to clear away the
grass that may be starting about the young
plants. 1t is desirable to have the corn laid

and rootlet is wanted then !or the production
of grain, and TO put in plow or cultivator TO
cut them of or tear them up is simply mur-
derous. you have allowed the grass to
dispute possession with the corn let them
fight it out" The chances will be in favor
of the corn but if you lose that you make n
crop Of grass, and that is about as much as
such cultivation deserves; otherwise you
make neither corn mol grass, The great rule
in corn cultivation is to work early and work
quickly that is, before the corn gets large,
and without too long intervals between the
workings. Corn that has been thoroughly
and quickly worked from the start need not
be touched after it rises above the hips Of an
ordinary man.
As to the mode OF working, the rule is to

a mere stirring of the surface is what is want

cultivator is sufficient. With the best man
agement, however, and especially upon to.
bacco farms, the crop will sometimes get in

tial. Every one must judge for himself Of
this emergency. Work with the mould.boa

HAY-NAEINC.
Crops Of clover ANA orchard grass will be
ready for harvest early in the month. The
fit time for cultvating clover is when about
one-halr Of the blossoms have turned brown.
1t is especially important, however with this
crop, TO take time by the forelocl, and If OPP
portuuity and weather permit it is well TO
begin earlier.
The succulency of clover makes it hard to
cure well, aud from bad curing clover hay
has got an ill-repute, which it by no means
deserves. 1t is needless to say that the bay
making requires the utmost care aud dllIl-
gence to bring it to a speedy concluslon.-

gigantic enterprise, and their reward.
The elements Of England's greatness are
to be found in the coal and iron which God
has given to her. and in her ability to use
them, as well as His other gifts, to good
purpose. But Great Britain, with an area
of coal deposits amounting to only 1859
square miles, and population of ab0ut 80
100000, raises now 6G,G4O,45O tons Then,
why shall not the United States with her
1873, 1872 square miles Of coal, produce within
the next 20 years an equal amount, when we
have at the present time population of 30
OO0,00O, and in the next 20 years will have
at least 50,000,00O? Why will not the same
element make US great which have made
England great ?-MincrS' Journal.

THE SCOLD.

She gives no peace from morn till night,
She is to happiness blight;
Her tongues the string that wounds the
heart,
Its venom pains with keenest smart
Her cavils vile all love CONCEAL,
And sour the sauce of ev'ry meal;
She drives all pleasures from her hearth,
And gives no comfort on the earth.
She lives life of wrath and ire,
Men fee from her as from fire,
Or meet her but to wage war
OF strife and words and vexing sore.
Torments on earth her taunts inspire,
Her hateful sphere few need desire.
She lives her time ! do allow,
But dies at last--no one cares hoW.

To Kill BURDoCKs.-There are many ways
to exterminate this pest, but the following is
highly recommended Let the plants grow
until midsummer, when the stalks and leaves
ore full Of sap. Then cut off the roots with
strong, sharp spade, two or three inches
below ground, pluck OF the plant with II
smart pull, and stamp the ground firmly over
the remaining stump. 1t will seldom sprout
again; but if it does, it will be in so weak
state that another application of the spada
will end the matter,-AmericaH -AgriculturiH
