The chiefs were met in the council hall
Their words were sad and few;
They were ready to fight, and ready to fall
AS the sons of heroes do.
And, moored in the harbor of Gythtum, lay
The last of the Spar tan feet,
That should bear the Spartan women away
To the sunny shores of Crete.
Their hearts went back to the days of old;
They thought of the worldwide shock,
When the Persian host, like an ocean, rolled
To the foot of the Grecian rock;
And they turned their faces, eager and pale,
To the rising roar in the street,
As if the claDk of the Spartan mail
We're the tramp of the conquerors feet.

She stool, like the silence that comes between
The fash and the thunder-peal
She looked in the eyes of tie startled crowd;
Calmly she gazed around;
Her voice was neither low nor loud,
But it rang like her sword on the ground.
"Spartans!'' she said--and her woman s face
Flushed out both pride and shame

Though his sword he red to its hilt in the blood

Our winds blow keen down the rocky glen
Where the staunch Three Hundred fell.

And in weeek I stood face to face
with my old friend. 1t was twice twelve

STEPPED UP 0TO THE CAPTAINS
OFFICE"

Among other anecdotes of the first ex-
periments of Robert Fulton, the follow
ing is from the pen of R. n. Haskins, OF
Buffalo:
Some twenty years Since, more or
less-for cannot fix the date with more
certainty formed the acquaintance
on steamboat on the Hudson River, OF
a gentleman who, on that occasion, re-
lated to me some incidents of the first
voyage of Fulton to Albany in his steam
boat, the Clern,ont, which have never
met with elsewhere
I CHANGED, said my narrator, to be
at Albany on business when Fulton ar
rived there in his unheard of craft, which
everybody felt so much interest in seeing.
Being ready to leave, and hearing that
his craft was to return to New York, |
repaired on board and inquired for Mr..
Fulton. I was referred to. the cabin, and
there found plain, gentlemanly man,
wholly alone and engaged in writing.
"MMr. Fulton: I presume.
"Yes sir"
s'Do yoS return to New York in this
boat7'
"We shall try to 60 back, sir"
"Can l have passage DOWN.
"You can take your chance with US,
SIR"
~ inquired the amount to be paid
and after moments hesitation, sum,
[ think six dollars, was named The
amount in coin I laid in his open hand,
and with eye fixed upon it he remained
so long motionless, that I supposed there
might be some miscount, and said to
him, sis it right sir?' This aroused him
as from a revery, and as be looked up at
me the big tears were brimming, and his
voice faltered, as he said: "Excuse me,
sir; but memory was busy as l centem-
plated this, the first peeuniary reward |
have ever received for all my exertions
in adapting steam to navigation.

over bottle of wine with you, but am

The voyage to New York was success,
full, as all know, and terminated without
accident.

NUMBER 81

SOWING PEAS AND OATS TOGETHER
8. f. Todd, in the Ohio Farmer, rec
ommends sowing these two crops togs-
ther. He says:
Raising crop of oats and Peas on
the same ground, at the same time, is
often attended with good success; and
when the object is grain for feeding
stock of any kind. it is much better
way to SOW oats with the peas than to
SOW nothing but peas Peas are far
more productive when they have some.
thing to sustain them than when allowed
to grow as they may in PROSTATE or
half-erect position. No grain will fruc-
tify as well when PROSTATE as when kent
in an erect position. One object, then
in sowing peas and oats together is.to
have the oats sustain the peas; until the
grain has matured. In order to aceomy
plish this object most effectualiy, the
oats must not be sown more than half
as thick as they are when other grain Is
sown with them. Every good farmev
knows that when oats arc sown very
eAiSN, VAC StAdn 10 4uilc SlIuuSf CViiIHc
and stiff, and will remain, erect much
longer. Now, by sowing about half as
many oats per acre as is necessary for a
full crop, and BY sowing at the same
time as many peas as are usually sown,
much better crop may be raised than
if nothing but the peas, be sown, because
the oats will keep the peas erect, and
they will fill the better, and require less
labor to harvest the crop. y.
l know that most farmers do not like
to sow mixed seed of any kind, but when
the grain is all to be consumed on the
farm, it matters little whether it is min
gled before it is sown or afterwards
Peas and oats, ground with Indian corn,
or without corn, make most excellent
food, especially for fattening swine; and
many good farmers sow oats and peas
for the express purpose Of fattening
swine, by giving them good stars in
the fattening process in the early part
of the season, before Indian. corn has
matured enough for feeding.
