DoN'r Know BEANs.-The correspondent
of the Chicago Times relates the following
Joke at the expense Of an editor Of an agricul-
tural paper /:
Il was in the cars going to the State Fair
at Freeport, some time ago, and unintention-
ally overheard a conversation. The parties
to the conversation were q farmer from Lake
county and an agricultural correspondent.
When near Nevada, the member of the "staf'
was in the height of an animated explanation
of how I'VE" had benefited the farming in
terest by having agents always travelling, re-
porting, the prospects of crops, DC. just at
that moment u field Of buckwheat in bloom
attracted his attention.
What fine field of white beans that is,'
said the travelling editor.
"Beans." said the farmer; "that is buck
wheat"
''Oh. what beautiful white grain it has;
must make note Of it, and write letter
from Freeport aboutit. Buckwheat like this
is not to be fornd at the East. The speci-
mems | have been accustomed to produce
dark -four"
"Why Of course; this buckwheat will pro-
duce a dark flour" rejoined the farmer;
what you saw was not the grain-that was
the blossom"
"Oh. ah." said the editor, who quickly
closed his notes on buckwheat," and shortly
after went into the smoking car"

THE FUTURE.
From "All. the Year Round.

From "All. the Year Round."l
The drop that falls unnsted in the stream,
Prattiing in childhood on its native hill; q
The stream that must leave home and travel far
Over rough ways, with torn feet and norest,
Changing its voice, and then, in ealmer how,
Sopered by dreams of the eternal sea,
Pass with wide water, trembling in its depths,
To the great ocean, like a soul 10 Heaven,
And bearethe drop to rest, and roam no more.
For me, n life that only late set out.
In weakness, as a swallow from the nest,
On It's long journey ts the land unknown, fways,
That, gaining strength must pass through stony
BE lashed Of storms, and oftimes, in thick gloom,
Lose sight fwhat it pr,ed, yet with the hope
That all its blghted loves and treasures lost
Are taken of the wind like winged seeds,
And sown by angels in the better land,
Where this tired life shall rest and End them grown
The beam that, distant yet, but on its way
Intent, past systems, over comet tracks,
Comes like pilgrim with an offering,
And through the pure space TO the misty world
Brings the faint greeting of a star unknown.
For me, the light feet, not yet heard on earth,
That move toward me from the better land,
And, though uuheeded shall complete their work,
And, like the morning sunburst breaking nigh,
When my heart taints, and all my life is dark,
Step from the cloud bearin - Of Heaven,
Sweet face and tender hand 6SSfnf6H me.
The poet that shall come in the worlds need
And lead men to the light, and teach them truth,
And win them by the wonder Of his words,
Till true be known for true, and false for false,
And build the many -colored bow of thought
In sight above theiE head, and, in the end,
From his gold cup shall so enrich the world
Tha, men shall lavish blessings on his grave
For me the angel that shall take my hand,
When winds are ceasing, and my work is done.
And. like king leading beggar child,
Shall open death and lead me through the veil,
And gently guide me, dazzled with the light
Till my hand rests on all that have lost.
