A benevolent lady went to visit

A benevolent lady went to visit
a family who were said to be al
most starving. She found them
half clad, and not a morsel of food
in the house. "What doyou most
need? What would yon like to
have?" she asked the mother of
the family. The woman thought
for moment, her face frightened,
and she answered: "Why, / al
ways did want a waterfall; they
are so becoming"

WHO WILL CAIRO FOR
NIGGERS NOW!


Listen to lie, plantation niggers,
While in this mud hole lie,
Though 1 feel starvation's rigors.
Let me say word and die.
Niggers, does dis look like freedum?
can't see it nyhow,
Blacks am fools, and white folks lead 'em,
But who cares for niggers now?
CHORUS.
Look here, niger, 1 am dying,
See the death sweat on my brow,
Dis am freedum, no use crying
Who will care for niggers now.
Some say niggers good as white folk,
Gizzard foot and Ebo shin,
Don't believe it, tits tight joke:
Handsome, but you can't come in.
Well, you libed ON old plantation,
Earning with sweating brow
Plenty clothes and plenty ration,
But who cares for niggers now?
White folks say dey glib us freedum-
What dey glib, all in my eye
Free to suffer, free to langish,
Free to starve and free to die
No potatoes, corn-cake, bacon,
We must to starvation bow,
If dis is freedum is mistaken,
But who cares for niggers now?

TsmpIs of The Wasss.
THE MEETING.
I met her in the quiet lane

met her in the quiet lane
One Sabbath morning early;
The sun was bright, although the rain
Still glittering on the barley.
The lark was singing to his mate,
The wild bells chimed their warning,
We paused awhile outside the gate;
We fingered till it was too late
To go to church that morning!
Again we met. The whispering leaves
Glanced nigh in light and shadow;
The reapers piled the yellow sheaves,
The bees humm;d DER the meadow.
The royal sun rose up in state,
Our marriage day adorning;
The bells rang out; wide stood the gate,
And neither one of us too late
To go to church that morning!

To CURE WEAK EYES IN HORSE!

To CURE WEAK EYES IN HORSES.
j. P. Shelby, of Fayette coun-

cure for weak eyes in horses, as
follows: Blow through a quill,
into the weak eyes, three or four
times, a solution of alum and wa
ter at about blood heat. Then
burn small piece of alum, pulver-
ise it, and blow the powder stoutly
into the eye. This prescription eff
fected cure for Mr.. Shelby, and
it is accordingly recommended,

Three boys went bathing in
one of the streams near Oil Creek,
and when they came out they
were so greasy that they could
not stay in their clothes. As fast
as they slipped them on they
would slip off again; and one of
them in a needless moment mar
rowly escaped slipping out of his
skin. On reaching home, their
parents, being exceedingly frugal,
wrung them out and extracted
about fifteen gallons Of pure oil
from the three boys.

CULTURE OF GRAPE-HowT TO PREVENT Ror.
From an essay entitled "A New System
of Grape Culture and Preventive of Grape
Rot" written by DR.. H. Schroeder, of
Bloomington, Ill, we clip the following re-
marks on the prevention of rot in this fruit,
which will be found of interest to those cul-
tivating the grape:
The Islands of Lake Erie, it was said,
were entirely free from rot, but the demon
went there too, and will be worse next year
when the vines will become older all these
facts led me to a new system of grape cul-
turs, as most all our grape vines growing
older, will be more or less inclined to rot.
REMEDY: After preparing your land for
the vineyards, plant the same with good
strong layers Of first rate cutting plants
from eight to twelve feet apart in a square,
in the usual manner; when your vines come
into bearing the first big crop, say the third
or fourth year after planting, take one
strong cane of the bearing vine raised for
this purpose, close to the root of the vine,
make e little ditch with the hoe or spade
from four to six inches deep in the row up
to the center between your two bearing
vines let this cane stick about one foot out
of the ground, and after covering your ditch
cut it of, as 1 said, one or two feet above the
ground this l will call the first reserve.
Let from this grow three unchecked vines;
two of them are for fruiting the next year,
and can be cut long to give a good crop of
fruit The third cane is for the second re-
SerUe.
Cut your first reverse loose in the Spring
from the mother vine let the mother vine
bear a good crop or two, ifyou choose, as the
case may be, then chop it away to give room
for the second or third ~reUerses.
Let US go back now to the second reuerse |
Take the third cane of the first reusrse. Law |
it across the row up to the centre of the row |
as before described, four or six inches deem.
and one one footabove the ground, cut it of.
Now you have instead of one, two rows of
vines. Let again three canes grow off the
second reverse two fruiting and one for the
third reverse.) The third reverse is made
by laying the a of the second reverse in
the new row up to the centre of the new
and treat it the same way as the other
were treated. The fourth reverss is
by taking a cane-in the second year
after fruiting-from the first reverse and
after chopping the original mother vine out,
10 become the mothers place one-third of the
vines, as the case may be, one-fourth are re-
moved every yesr by chopping out and thus
making room for other reVerses, and Sc 90
IN till "the day Of Judgment"
You Will have this way by little labor and
without any doctoring, always a new and
vineyard, free from disease, and
paying well for your labor, superior fruit
md wines. 1t may be that in some slower
than Catawba or Concords you can
make the reverse only every two years, but
,ood, healthy vines, in good soil and locali-
" VIII stand the reverse almost every year.
