Everybody remembers MDonald Clafke, who was
well known in New York, few years since, a. the
Mad Poet" During the last years Of his life Clarke
made free of the AstOr House table, and oftentimes
this Grant man of genius could be accepting its
inequalities when other doors were closed on his
fallen fortunes. Every one knew Clarke by sight
and one day, while quietly taking his dinner, two
travellers, seating themselves opposite, commenced
conversation intended for the ears Of Clarke. One
said s
"Well, have now been in New York two months,
"Ah!" said the other, what is that :"
Donald Clarke, the great poet" responded
No. l, with strong emphasis.
Clarke raised his eyes slowly from his plate, and
seeing the attention Of the table was him, stood
up, placing his hand his heart, and bowling with
great gravity to the strangers, said:
~ am NJ 'Donald Clarke, the great pOetn
The traveller started in mock surprise gazed at him
in silence for few moments, then amidst an audible
litter Of the company drew from his pocketa quarter
dollar and laying it before Clarke, still looked at him
without smile. Clarke raised the quarter in silence
and dignity bestowed it in his pocket, drew thence
a shilling, which he deposited before the traveller,
with these words:
"Children half price,"
The litter changed to roar and the travellers were
missing instanter.
THE SSOBs AFTER PICCoLoM1NI-A New York
correspondent of the Charleston Courier says. in
recent letter:
The Sunday papers are making great ado over
the fact that young lawyer Of that city has made
proposal of marriage to Pccolomini. This fayorite
singer and profitable prima donna has had several
such offers since her arrival in this country. One
young man, in particular, in this city, with more
money than brains, and celebrated for the ultra
English style in which be dresses has been making a
fool of himself about her. He, too, proposed to
Piccolomini and was rejected, but SO deep was the
contagon of his love. that he followed her around to
the various cities where she performed gazing upon
the prize which he could not win, just as Miss

Don't delay because your means or ter

Re.seeding Meadow.

The Ohio Farmer recommends the fol
lowing mode of re-seeding Meadows:
Spread well-rotted manure over the mead
ows, either early in the spring or at the
commencement of the fall rains, and lei
this be followed by thorough narrowing
and afterwards rolling in the spring. II
meadows are well narrowed in the latter
part of April and seed sown upon them
and then rolled, the seed sown will readily
grow.
EIf the meadows absolutely need blowing
we should prefer to wait until the fall !;
then pillow and give the land the benefit of
the winters frost. In the latter part of
March, SOW barley, and afterit is well up
or about the first of May, sow about four
TBS. of red clover, and half a bushel of or
chard grass to the acre, with a proportion
ofany other grasses desired, and then roll.
Or, instead of barley, spring wheat may at
the proper time be sown, if preferred
Either Of these crops are favorable to the
growth of grass, shading it but little.
There are several reasons why meadows
require re-seeding. One is this: under
bad management the crop of hay is an
nually carried of, while no manure is sup
piled to the land to maintain its fertility.
Another reason is, the almost universal
preference given to timmothy, which, tho
excellent, is not parental grass, and is
therefore very difficult to retain for a sue
cession of years.

Clover.

Where clover can be mown more than
once in season, each time that it is cut,
the roots penetrate to q greater depth in
the soil and subsoil, in search of food; it
is tns-sccfnre evident that this plant does not
receive all its support from the active sur
face soil, but portion of 1t from greater
depth in the subsoi than most ordinary
farm crops. Besides l have reason to be-
heye from experience and observation, that
the roots of clover not only obtain a por-
tlon of their food from greater depth in
the earth than is penetrated by the plow,
but that those roots, in thus penetrating
the subsoil in search of food, actually bring
up something in their decay which streng,
thens and enriches the soil for future
crops.--Correspondence Of the Country
Gentleman.

To Delay Blossoms.

Any fruit trees may be made to bloom
sufficiently late in the season to prevent its
fruits from being injured by the frost and
consequently present fine, heavy crop, by
the following judicious treatment:
In the middle of the winter, when the
ground is most severely frozen, put large
pile of wheat straw or oak leaves around
the roots, that approach the surface of the
earth. Cover this pile with planks, or
boards, so that no rain can fall upon the
pile. Let this cover remain until all dan
ger from frost has passed. Then remove
tie cover and straw, and look for splcn-
{ d crop to follow soon.
The rationale of this is, the fiozen earth
will not thaw until late in the spring, if
the pile remain; and while the earth is
frozen the trees cannot bloom, but when
the danger is past, remove the covering,
and the tree will bloom forth speedily
Try it, farmer friends.-New Yorker.
