ecdo,e:
4 person, whom we will not name. called
upon Mr.. Chandler Williams, then one Of

bered with respect By many, and requested
him to draft his will. He inquired and no.
ted down the disposition the tessator wished
to make Of his property, which according to
Mr.. Williams sense Of right. was exceed
ingly unjust toward one Of his two children.
He therefore demonstrated with nim-but
failing TO induce him to do what was right.
at length asked Well, you want me, then

was. I DO. Then followed the rejolnder,

improper language; but it was one, also, in
which they would not minister to injustice

Like 8 gorgeous chandelier.
Twas just on such an eve. my love,
Aswe wandered o'et the lea,

You promised 70 te mine.
AID faithfully you kept your VOW,
For now yea ere my bride,
To share ny cups Of grief and care,
Or what may else betiie,
OH dearest, how ny heart swells up,
To think Of those hours past;
Those cherished moments that round my ite
blissiul halo cast.
Ard love TO think Of the pearly brook,
BY tie foot Q that green hill,
Where many a time We fingered long
To list the wild BIRDS trill;
The ccwslip fair, IN its Laughing grace.

And the tiny 6sh in the soft sunlight,

And the moss-corercd stone on which We SIT,
So oft in the twilight gray,
When aviewless hands, were a-closing up

OF the hopes and fears of that sunny tine,
When our hearts were gay and free,
AS the lark that scars to It's native sky
So light and joyousiy.
And now the 'witching dream ispls;,
Yet love We none the less,
Than when oul souls transported were
In young love's soft caress; &
And, dearest, though deep woes on elrti',J
May in our pathway lie,
Well love still faithful, even or
Aye, love until We die.
And our little home shall be, dear wife,
A bright and cheerie spot,
Where mem'ries sweet, will cling fore'er,
And cares shall be forgot.
And joyfplly we'll plod ife's way,
Together hand in hand,

CATTLE KILLED BY EATING SoRGHuM-
The independence (lowa) Guardian gives an
account of the destruction of seven head Of
cattle from eating the refuse Chinese sugar cane
after Ii had been compressed in the mill. The
outer coating of the stalks is of very write
Gus character; when thus broken up and takeu
into the stomach, 1t operates ike broken glass,
cutting, and in some cases penetrating entirely
through the coats OF that organ, producing q
violent Inflammation. a post mortem exaini-
nation in this case revealed this as the cause Of
death. This important fact should bo made
known to every farmer, as it may be tae means
of preventing serious destruction of their
stock.

We are decidedly in favor of growing cur
ran!s--they are admirably adapted 10 our cii-
ulate, easily grown, very productive, and so use
fu fer variety of purposes as to be quite in-
dispeusable in every household. Their extend
ed cultivation cannot be too often recommend
ed, aud especially tue proper cultivation Of good
varieties.
The way to do this, however, is not to urge
farmers TO dig up their spiroas and other orna-
mental sbrubs. We are too udliiarisn. We
do rot sufficiently appreciate the beneficial et'
feet of the beautiful, either On ourselves or our
children. Those who take pleasure in orna-
nenting their homes and keeping neat gardens,
viii usually be found the most intelligent, the
most thorough and the most systematic culti-
vators. The man who plants potatoes in his
front garden, seldom has good stock in his yards
or good crops in his fields. He who digs up
his spireas to plant currapts, viii set them out
in the ccrnefs OF his worm fences, and leave
them 20 struggle with the Canada thistles for
the mastery. A stranger, seeing our friend

States the most densely populated country in

under the best system of cultivation, to supply

AGRICULTURAL.
BOTH USEFUL AND oRNaMENTAL.

In the American Institute Farmers Club, re-
Gently. Solon Robinson, speaking of the culti-
vation OF small fruits, remarked that he had
growing in his yard, as a mere ornament, the
Spirea, which blossoms only once year, and
which was useless; while the eurrant was
ih::e....Asnnsr hush, and tn addition 10 ornament,
It afforded wholesome fruit. Another year
if be lived, would root out the Spirea, and put
in lis place curraue bushes. Ia proef of their
superior beauty, be directed attention to sere-
raj branches OF currant bushes laden with de.
Iicious fruit, which several members Of the
Club had brought in as specimens. A section
frcm cherry currant bush, in particular, was
