"We became convinced, long ago, that the

Village.
Tolling solemnly and slow,
Swings the little village bell,
While doth pause the passer by,
Saddeued by the knell !
Sadden'd as he passcth by
Praying for the spirit lied
While he murm 'reth, with sigh,
"Who is deadY'
Treading solemnly and slow.
Comes the little village throng,
Who, with pastor at their head,
Bear the corpse along
Whilst the children cease their play
Drawing nearer, half in dread
Woud ring, as it passcth onward,
"Who is dcad?'
And the busy workmcn cease
Gathering now, the windows round
Whilst their upraiscd hammers all
Fall without u sound
"'Tis the coffin of child
God, rest light its little head
God, preserve our little ones -
"Who is dead ~
Broken is the number, now,
All had learned to think complete!
One familiar face is gone,
Now, from church and street!'
And the busy query runs,
Till, before the day is sped,
Zen the smallest child could tell you,
"Who is dead.

New NomoN-A writer in the Americdn
.4gricMturia AYERS that he has made sterile fruit
trees blossom and bear by tying twinc tight about
the trees, above the lower limbs. The cord
should be applied in June or July, and the tighter
tied the better. 1t can be removed during the
winter. His notion is that the string prevents
the sap from returning to the roots and that it
consequently forms fruit buds.

it Is being drawn toward the sun This
fact has led 10 the general conclusion. by
the astronomers, that the planets are mo-
wing IN a resisting medium, far more at
tenuated than our atmosphere, but still
sufficient to affect their motions II this
IS SO, it follows by strict necessity that our
earth and its sister planets are all winding

time required for this purpose belongs TO
those lHconcelv2Dio periods with which
geology and astronomy have to deal The
resisting medium Is SO exceedingly atten-
Uatcd that it eZerts but a slight influence
upon the comets, which are themselves

influences would OF course be very much
