To welcome the year, and 10 give you all Joy,
And his thanks for the quarters and dimes u
To win from the fair maid of dark eyes smile
To tell Of things funny and queer
To chat with Miss Sarah and Mary awhile
And sum up the news OF the year.
Through the year I've brought the news,
Tramped through storm with worn ont shoes,
Told you. through the STAR, who died
Who got married-how the bride
Sent us cake SO rich and fine
(Wonder who got all the wine y
Told you where 10 buy cheap trowsers-
Told you who il was raised rousers
OF babies, corn and beets; and who
Wasn't orthodox nor true.
Then I've told of golden lands
Politicians loose as sand
Victories on our side all
Murders dire, how bank stocks fall
Steamboats, blow up, and how Buck
Manages the State, with good pluck
How Douglas and Humbug dose the land,
With Forney and Press at his commando
How corrupt and base could be,
Such faithless Senator as he.
To the young Pve sang of trifes,
To the sportsmeu told of rifles,
To the old I've preached profound,
To the clerk of pence and pound,
To the maiden rang the song,
+" Lassie do not wait too long"

If you have some dimes, i'l bow

horticultural Notes for the Month.


This is a good time to SOW peas for a late
crop but 10 insure success it will be ne
cessary that the ground be in good tilth,
deep, rich and moist, to enable them to
stand the hot, dry month OF August
Many persons have a notion that peas
should be sown on poor ground, because
on rich they make more leaves and stalks
than pods. | have never found that the
ground could be too rich for peas, provi-
ded they have room, and good sticks to
climb upon. If time can be spared when
the peas have set their first pods, 1t will
be found verv beneficial to the main crop
to pinch off the tops of the stalks a few
inches.
SWEET OR SUGAR Corn may still be sown
for a second crop. Sow in hills three feet
apart, from center to center. Ii three
seeds grow it will be enough. II shovel.
full Of good, rotten manure be put under
each hill before sowing, it will be found
very beneficial.
LIMA BEANs-A good way of growing
Lima beans is to dig a trench one foot
wide ard one foot deep then fill in six
inches with good, rotten stable manure
and decayed leaves; cover this over with
the surface soil and mix a little. Plant
the beans on the top, cover one inch.-
When up, thin out TO six inches apart
Now drive stakes six feet apart and five
feet high, and tie or nail a pole on the top
of these stakes, and set thin brush along
the row, like pea sticks, to enable the
beans TO reach the pole On top of the
stakes. | think three times she quantity
of beans on the same ground, and at less
expense for poles, can be grown this way
than in the ordinary way OF hills and
poles.
STRING BEANs.-In some warm, deep,
rich ground, draw hills with the corner OF
the hoe two feet apart and two inches
deep. Sow Early Sir Weeks beans, and
cover over. When up six inches, draw
earth up to the stems with the hoe, and
keep clear Of weeds.
CucUMBERs AND Musk MEIoNs.-Dig holes
two feet square and one foot deep, and
six feet apart; fill them with equal parts
of turfy sods and rotten manure, or mix
rotten manure with the soil that came out
of the hole, and fill it again. This will
raise the hill three or four inches above
the surrounding soil. Sow six or eight
seeds upon each hill, and press them in
one inch deep. When well established
thin out to three plants in q hill. The
Early Christina Musk Melon is the best
variety, all things considered.
WATER MELONS managed this way dc
remarkable well; only make the hills eight
or ten feet apart. Watch well the bugs,
morning and evening. Catch and kill
every one This, and keeping all clear o
weeds, is more readily advised than done
The easiest way is to walk quickly with 6
piece of thin, gauze, and spread it over
the plants before the bugs have time tc
fly away, you may then catch and &il
them.
ToxAToEs are better when trained tC
espaliers, or when branches Of trees are
laid beneath them to keep them from the
ground They are not so liable te rot
and will remain good later in the season
