BY AND BY.
BY MARY CLEMMER AMES.

Oh! wonderful visions of long ago,
Lighting so the young warm brain,
You've lost your aura of golden glow,
You're tarnished now by the touch of pain
Can love retint where rust hath lain?
Can it kindle again for the eager eye?
Oh, beautiful dreams! will you live again,
VIII you live again in the by and by?
They who began life's race with me,
The amber-haired, the dewey-eyed,
Who made life sweeter than dream can be,
Alasl how many of them have died.
The old, old story-beside the way,
In low, cold houses, mute they lie;
When all come forth to immortal day,
Shall we love again in the by and by?
The tangled web Of mortal Iife
Will Jesus pitying hand unite?
That error and evil mingle strife,
Despite His love, will he tell US why?
Why glorious promises stranded lie?
Why hearts are wrecked on this lower coast!
Why heirs of God-born destiny
Reel into chaos, rayless, lost?
Many who love in silence here;
Walk as strangers, far apart
Never naming the name most dear,
The being born their twin in heart.
In Gods after-day will it all be clear,
The story of fate, and its sorrowful 'why?''
The loved, and longed-for, waiting here,
viii they know and love in the by and by?

H1LLINe CORN AND poTAToEs

Until within few years farmers Of
heNorth have hilled their corn and pota-
toes, and believed it necessary; more re-
Gently they have found that roots may
be induced from the epidermis of the
corn stalk and the earth hilled about it,
but that this earth and the roots it con-
tains, cannot contribute in sustaining
the corn stalk, while it merely deducta
from the growth of the tap root and
other deep permeating roots which can
do best service to the sub-soil In the
bringing of inorganic matter to give
health and strength to the plant. That.
with fiat cultivation, corn stalks will
stand higher gales than when hilled up
With the potato different rationale,
but tending to the same results, has
proved true. The original tuber throws
up stems, and instead of the potato being
a tuberous root plant, Gas most of our
books in error call it, it is a tuberous
stem plart, for no potato ever grew upon
potato root, they all grow upon a stem;
and therefore the original seed, when il
furnishes the first set of tubes, does all
that nature intended. IF we earth up
the stem, We cause new exoric growth
from the stem, Of new tubes, and these
take part of the pabulem, namely, the
starch contained in the original tubsf;
all of which should be given to the form:
ing of the first tubers For this reason,
we find potatoes when hilled giving un-
ripe results in part, and potatoes of ali
sizes; whereas, when cultivated fatty, SCI
as to form no new tubers, the crop is
alike or nearly SO in size, all those orig
inally set perfect, and both in pounds and
measure the crop is still greater or less
liable to disease Now all the truths
that are to be found in this practice in
the growing Of corn, are applicable in de-
gree, as We apprehend, to the growth of
cotton: We can see no reason why cot
ton should be grown on raised beds, un-
less it be to furnish large amount of
surface for the suns influence. And If
this be the true rationale, We should rec
ommend such treatment of the soil as
would change the color: rather than the
adoption of these beds Working Far

The Iowa Eur Trade.

All of the main streams of Iowa have
dutihg the last winter and spring gswarmed
with fur producing animals. Trapping
has been carried on very successfully,
and although the prices of furs have not
ranged as high as during some years, a
larger aggregate income has been real:
lied than during any corresponding PEE
riod. One intelligent trader Informed
US recently that in his Judgment enough
money had been realized from this
source, since October last, to pay theien-

The name Wide-Awake was suggested
by paragraph in the Daily Co6ront, of
March 3, written by the assistant editor,
Mr.. VIM. P. Fuller. 1t was proposed
to the company by Mr. H. P Hitchcock
and at once adopted as just the name of
all others.
After the organization the ranks filed
up rapidly, and when on the 18th of
March they went to Waterbury, they
marched to the cars one hundred strong.
We have not room to give in this arti-
Gle an account of what this company has
done during the campaign. We can
only state in brief that they drove off a
crowd Of rowdies who were determined
to break up mass meeting in Water
bury; they have protected meetings, pro-
cessions, and speakers in Hartfor !, and
on election day stationed fifty men at
each of the voting places in Hartford,
and did noble service in Challenging,
sending for voters, suppressing rowdy-
ism and attempts to brow beat those who
had recently left the Loco-Foco party.
The second company was formed at
w dGSl Jul anu OASu 1NSM btlIldu, 1NCH
Haven, and other towns quickly followed.
The Shams are terribly annoyed by this
Wide-Awake movement Their papers
try in every way to throw ridicule upon
them by calling them ''infant politicians, )"
etc. The Hartford Times, just before
election, was filled with abuse and vile
ISLANDERS about the company, and it was
evident, from the bitterness of that
worm wood and gall sheet that the
Wide-Awake movement was carrying
CONSERVATION into the ranks of the Sey-
mour men. They could endure any
thing and everything which the enthu-
siasm of the Republicans prompted them
to do except the getting up of the Wide
Awakes. That form Of enthusiasm,
drawing in as it did very many of their
young men, was absolutely agonizing to
them, and they exclaimed, "Take any
shape but thatl'

A Man of Means.

A Man of Means.
Mr.. VIM. B. Astor, of New York, is
worth at least SO, 100000, and every
cent of the income, above expenses
and charities, is Immediately reinvested.
Mr.. A. is still hale and hearty looking
man, and will probably live to be as old
as his father. He has an Office where
he works harder than dry goods clerk.
Six or seven gentlemen act as, book
keepers, but he holds the thread of the
complicated skein in his own hand
His room contains in bound volumes the
records and maps of his vast estate, and
he can readily turn to any piece OF
property and find the rent and other par
ticulars.

Pear Culture.

Pear Culture. 70
The Cincinnati Horticultural Soclety
at recent meeting discussed Pear cui-
ture. Mr.. HEAVIER commenced the dis
cussion, and the substance of his re-
marks were that there was vast amount
of facts and figures in favor of the view
that pear culture was profitable here and
that there was mass of evidence going
to confirm the most sanguine expecta-
ton in that respect, more than any va
riety Of fruit, and this will apply to q
large region south Invest, and some great
distance north of us. The pear is not
subject to the vicissituds of our seasons
as some other fruits, etc, Trees and
shrubs have suffered much this winter.
Facts prove that we have hard eli
111Ute to ehcouG*eR,- azalLaearfy every
other kind of fruit will not d q. SO ual
here as the pear. He has found pears
yielded three times the amount of all
other fruits in the long run The ex-
pense Of the cultivation of the pear is
scarcely any. Less pruning is required.
1t is merely necessary to keep it clear
of suckers and water sprouts, and to
rampant limbs. All person familiar
with the markets know that pears com
mand five times the price Of apples Of
equal comparative quality: "a

Conviction, in China for Kidnapping
Coolies.

A trial for kidnapping Coolies was
lately had before the Supreme Court of
Hong Kong. A Chinese shopkeeper,
resident in Hong Kong, was charged
with kidnapping and slave-dealing. y =
He had taken part in inducing one hun
dred and twenty Coolies to embark in a
passage for Macao, ostensibly for the
Betel plantation near Singapore, but in
fact to be conveyed to the sugar planta-
tions of Cuba. In the course of his re-
marks the Judge called attention to the
marked distinction that exists in China,
between system of free emigration and
that iniquitous traffic so productive Of
crimes like that now under consideration.
After a short consultation the jury re-
turned a verdict that the prisoner was
guilty of everything charged against
him in the indictment. The Judge then

Whitewasl, on Trees.

The practice of coating the bark Of
fruit and ornamental trees with white
wash is one that cannot be too severely
deprecated: The obstruction of the
perspiratory organs and orifces of the
trunk, whether effected by the applica-
tion of Whitewash or any other adhesive
material, always acting as fruitful
source of disease, and, in time, proves
fatal to the trees, When the bark be-
comes rough or incrusted with moss it
should be cleansed by scraping and
washing down thoroughly with a solu-
tion of potash or soda water, affording
smoothness to the surface, without obs
structing the pores. a.s 20 Hao5.
