Washington and the Corporal.

During the American Revolution, it
is said, the commander of little squad
was giving ord ers to those under him
relative to l-g of timber, which they
were attempting to raise to the top of
some military works they were repairing
The timber went up with difficulty, and
on this account the voice often heard in
regular vociferation Of Heave away ther
she goes heave ho! An officer not in
military costume, was passing, and asked
the commander why he did not take
hold and render little aid. The lat
ter, astonished, turning round with the
pomp of an emperor, said sat
Sir, am corporal. ea a'a
You are. are you f.? replied the officer.
I was not aware of that! ask your par
don, Mr.. Corporal, and then dismountad
and lifted till the sweat stood in drops
on his forehead. When the work was
finished, turning to the commander he
said, Mr.. Corporal, when you have an
other such job, and have not man E.
nough, send for your canmandcr-in-
chief, and I will come and help you a
second time. The corporal was astoun-
ded. 1t was Warrington who thus ad-
dressed him.

Items for Farmers and Gardeners.

Enormous Yield Of Buekwheot.-A. Nash,
Conn, sends sample of buckwheat which
yielded at the rate Of 2137t bushels per acre.
1t should be stated however that the product
of only single stalk with its branches was
ascertained, amounting to 1850 kernels
From this anybody can cipher out the above
yield per acre, on paper provided three pecks
were sown. and each seed gave correspon-
ding yield. When any one succeeds in ci-
phering it out with the plow and thrasher, We
shall be glad to tell how it was done.
The Best Shade Trees.-For the beginner
VIC would say, plant at first native, we'll
known trees. These will include, generally,
the white elm; the rock maple, silver, red
and black naples; the white ash; the white
oak, and perhaps few others. To these,
we would add few evergrecns, such as
white pine, balsam fir black and whitespruce
and arbor Vita. Then we would go on With
the Norway maple; English, Scotch and
Dutch Elms; Scotch larch, European Noun
tain ash, Norway spruce, Siberian Arbor Vi
tao and few other foreign evergreens.
7aney Tea wiu keep of Bugs from the
vine Of squashee, pumpkins. cucumbers and
melons; so says Mr.. j. W. Staples. He In
forms us that he had tried it repeatedly and
always with perfect success. He sleeps the
tansy plant III kettle to strong tea, and
then sprinkles it over the vines with brush.
The bugs curl up and drop off, and cease to
trouble the vines. A second or third dose is
| applied after rain, or when new crop of
bugs comes out. A tubfnll Of the tea can
be prepared at one time, and kept on hand

4 Wrinkle about the .dge Of Horses.--Af.
ter the horse is nine years old wrinkle
comes on the eyelid at the upper corner Of
the lower lid; and every year thereafter he
has one we'll defined wrinkle for each year
of his age over nine. If, for instance.
horse has three wrinkles, he is twelve; if four
he is thirteen. Add the number of wrinkles
to nine, and you will always get the age
Epergreens. for Shelter Hedges. Evergreen
trees, are best for screens, because they re-
tain their foliage in Winter, and thus break
the force of the wind. They should be set
in double rows, the outer or most exposed
one Of pines and spruces, the inner Of hem
lock and arbor vine. In a few years they
will form an almost impervious wall about
the enclosure.
Grain for young Aninals.-A small
amount of grain fed to young animals in
winter will improve their growth and strength
1t is not best to make them fat by overfeed-
ing; give only enough to keep them thriving.
More::sqin ais are stuntsd.by insufficieu. food

Keeping Onions in Winter. Onions for
winter keeping should be stored in a dry.
cool place. A little frost does not hurt them
if kept covered and not handled until thaw-
ed out. An upper floor is generally batter
for the purpose than cellar which is apt to
be too damp.

1 for afternoon service and still we were
in our prison. Then We grew hungry.
We had eaten all the nuts We had in
our pockets long before but we could
not reach any more--they grew too far
out upon the boughs. Soon after church
was in, the afternoon troop of rude
boys come along the road near us. We

LITTLE MINNIE'S GRAVE.
BY CHERRY BLOSSOM.

The last bright rays of setting sun
linger upon earth, as ifloth to depart
aud clothed in golden tints the tree tops
and the cold marble pillars. The clouds
foat placidly in the heavens, here and
there relev ed by patches of blue; and
the gentle evening breeze plays with the
fallen leaves, and sighs through the leaf
less trees dying dirge for the lost sea-
son.
We tread our way carefully among the
many little mounds-humble monu-
ments to the slecpers, and pause a mo-
m ent to read the inscriptions on pillars
and shalts erected to the memory of the
dead. Many are the thoughts that
crowd upon us as we wend our way a.
mid crumbling tombstones. How many
bright hopes here lie buried! How ma
many yearning hearts have here secured
the rest they longed for, and how many
dreams have found their answer in the
grave Truly is death common lev
eler. The rich and the poor, the proud
and the humble, the joys of households
and the poor outcasts, here lie side by
side. How solemn. how pfegnan. with
Importance are these thought
We at length come upon our search
a little grave marked by marble head
stone. A single ray of golden light
shines upon, as we read the inscription,
Little Minnie. aged 8 years" The
grass and towering vines lie withered.
and the fallen leaves strew the lite
mound. Everything denote The parting
season, except an evergreen at the head
of the grave. 1t lives, and may we not
trust she lives in better land
When the earth was freed from its icy
letters, when the flowers put forth their
petals, and the robin twitered his songs
of praise from the old perch in the oak
tree, We folded her little hands across
her lifcless breast. Her sunken eyes
told how deep her sufferings had been,
but her pale lips gave back no sound Of
cmoplaint, only low moan of agony in
answer to our anxious looks. Through
the solemn hours of midnight, we watch
ed by her bedside, bathing her feverish
head and smoothing the pillow, after lis
tcning with tear wet eyes to her childish
prattle, as she i'm magined she was again
playing by tie pebbly stream or romping
through the fields with her pet kitten.
Night after night wo watched with her,
exT Getting the coming Of the messenger,
yet dreading his arrival.
He came at last, and with him came
peace to one troubled spirit. We saw
the change coming on, and we gathered
around the bedside. She opened her
eyes, and, lookin around, saw our tear
wet faces.
Don't cry she said. Minnie won't
be sick any more. She's going away,
but you'll come and see her after while
Kiss Minnie
A happy smile illumed her face, her
eyes closed, and peacably, quietly our
Savior took her to his breast Yes, our
little one was at rest. The grave dig
ger followed out home. Beneath the
protecting shade of tb c willow We laid
her. where the breezss gently sigh re-
quueim and the birds sing all day long

little mound of affection in the quiet vii
