Popping Corn.


and there they sat popping corn,
John Stiles and Susan Gutter;
John Stiles as stout as any OK,
and Susan fat as butter.
And there they sat and shelled the corn,
And raked and stirred the fire,
And talked Of different kinds of ears.
And bisched their chairs UP higher
Then Susan she the pepper shook,
And John he shook the pepper,
Till both their faces grew as red
AS saecepans made Of copper.
And then they shelled and popped and ate,
All kinds Of fun a-poking.
And he haw-hswed at her remarks.
And she laughed at his joking.
And still they popped and still they ate.
Johns mouth was like hopper
And stirred the fire, and sprinklsd salt,
And shook and shook the pepper.
The clock struck nine, the clock struck ten,
And still the corn kept popping,
1t struck eleven and then struck twelve,
And still no signs of stopping.
And John he ate, and Sue she thought
The corn did pop and patter,
Till John cried out, 1.-THE corn's afire!
Why, Susan. what's the matter?'
Said she, "John Stiles, it's one O'Clock:
You'll die of indigestion:
Why don't you pop the question:"

WHEAT WEED.-It has long been
suspected that cereal grains are but
cultivated examples of wild cereal gras-
sss-that they were not created as
corn, but that they have been improved
by culture into their present condition.
This supposition was confirmed by NJ.
Faber, of Adge, in the south of France,
who in 1888, showed some grains of
the 4yilopovata, common cereal
grass, and, by successive showing in
garden soil, produced in 1910, crops of
real wheat as fine as any to be found
in the ncighborhood. This experiment
is now being carried on by the profess
ser of geology and botany at the Roy
al Agricultural College, and the grass
is gradually undergoing the same trans
formation into cereal grain Once a
Week.

Lieutenant Worden.

Lieutenant Worden, who so gallant
ly brought the Monitor into action with
the Merrimac near Fortress Monroe,
and who fought with such determine
ton, is an officer of whom We feel es-
pecially proud as a Michigan man. He
is a native of this State, having form
erly resided in Grand Rapids. He has
brother in the postoffice in this city,
and another who is one of the proprie-
tors of the Chicago Times. On the
breaking out of the rebellion, Lieut..
Worden was on duty in the South, and
was retained for time as prisoner at
Pensacola. After his release, which
occurred only short time since, he
was placed in command of the new
Ericsson iron-clad gunboat Monitor,
which bore such an honorable part in
the late engagement near Newport
News. In that engagement he ac-
quired fame which will give him a
place among the heroes of the present
war. The success which he achieved
with his vessel wiped out, in good de-
gree, the unfortunate results of the bat.
tie. But, more than all, the personal gal
lantfy and interpidity which he showed
on the occasion will be remembered.
The reports all concur in saying that
he handled his vessel skillfully, did ter
rible execution on the enemy, and al
last compelled him to retire. Standing
in the lookout of his vessel, a full broad
side from the Merrimac injured him
with minute fragments of shells and
powder which were driven through the
lookout holes. His first question, on
returning to consciousness, was "Hdue
I saUed the Minnesota ?" On being
told that he had whipped the Merrimac
besides, he coolly remarked, "Ihen !
don't care aohat becomes of me-" Suell
was the bravery of this young Mich
gan officer. Pride in his noble courage
is certainly justi6able. 1t is to be
hoped that his injuries will not prove
of a sereious nature, and that he viii
soon be able to serve his country in g
higher rank. Such gallantry deserve:
promotion.

SCREENING ON NuTs.-We have
sometimes known nuts on thresing
machines, circular saws, dc, to be
found so tight that no rench would re-
move them. This was because they
had been held in the hand till they be-
came warm, and being then applied to
very cold screws in winter, they con-
tracted by cooling after being on, and
thus held the screw with an immovable
grasp. Always avoid putting a warm
nut on cold screw; and to remove it,
apply large heated iron in contact
with the nut, so as to heat and expand
it, and it will loosen at once-or cloth
wet with boiling water will accomplish
the same purpose. So say the Coun-
try Gentlemen.

In commencing New Year, the proprietors of
The New YORK MERCURY only say, that it shall
be their aim to make their great family journal of
American literature, for 1862, more brilliant and
enchanting than ever, in its concentration of all
the worlds grandest and most beautiful speciaties
in healthful Romance, graceful Poetry, elegant and
quaint Gossip, refining knowledge, sparkling
Humor, and entertaining News-until, like love, it
RULES the court, the camp the bower"
as it already rules the happy domestic fireside.
The editorial tone and National departments OF
THE New YORK MERCURY will continue true to that
lofty spirit of patriotism which has made it neces-
sity of the people since the War began, and kept
it in enthusiastic demand when other sheets were
dying all around it for want of popular support.
Already the largest Literary Journal in the
world, and famous as the focus of thousand
brilliant literary regulations, its programme for
1862 will be magnificent beyond all precedent. The
most celebrated pens of this country and Europe
have been secured in its service at an outlay equal
to tile expense of ta national gOrerRnaeItt
az the Old World! and its novelties, or continued
stories, for 1862 will be the most splendid triumphs
of elegant Fiction ever published. To these, too,
the magic pencil of the greatest of American artists
Mr.. FELIX O. q. BARLEY, will lend the aid OF
pictorial art.
