Farming i'm the Islands of
JERSEY and GUERNSEY,

Between England and France, are two
small islands-Jersey and CT nsey. The
former contains population of eight hun
dred, and the latter six hundred, to the
luare mile, while Great Britain has only
two hun dred and eighty. and Belgium four
hundred and forty. In Jersey there is one
inabited house to twelve acres, and yet,
without factories or mines, their exports
and imports are very large. The peCple
are accommodating money, and there are no
poor One item of their imports is signifi-
cInt. They imported last year nearly 4OO,-
900 pounds of iea, or nearly eight pounds
to- each person. The quantity of stock kept
on these small farms is improving. No
sheep are kept. The cows are Soiled. and
VII lie the soil is too sandy for clover.
lucen is grown instead, they get two
pounds ct butter from them per day. On
a farm of eight acres there will be about
five COWS. three hcifcrs, one horse, and
three pigs These farms are generally
owned by the farmers. but when rented
they fetch enormous prices, ranging from
So to S2i in gold per year per acre. No
manurcs are imported. but sea-weed is eX-
tensively used for mannrial purposes. The
climate is exceedingly mild, frost never
continuing for any great length of time, nor
does snow remain for any considerable
period.
For thousand V, ars the 'aw has pre-
vailed by which the land of the parent has
been divided among the children. This ac-
counts fDr the extreme Smallness of the
farms, and the perfect tillage to which they
are subjected, and great profit which they

BY EMILY BUGBEE.

Barefoot boy and little girl.
She with rosy cheeks and Curls;
His, forehead brown with tan,
Sturdy little farmer mar.
old straw hat with broken rim,
Is the least That troubles him,
As the dinner pail he swings,
Full of Mothers choicest things.
Happy little pair are they.
Chatting blithelv ON the way.
In the morning fresh and cool,
Going TO the district school.
From the shady farm house door,
Mother watches, ill no more
She can follow-out of sight.
They are gone. her hearts delight.
Can you see them sitting there,
On the benches hard and bare,
Tired feet swinging to and fro,
Coming DER the lessons low.
Sitting, at the noon of school.
By the gurgling streamlet cool,
'MOng the brakes and bending trees.
Eating up the bread and cheese.
Or. with merry laugh and shout,
When the boys and girls go out,
Books and pencils cast away,
See them jump and swing and play.
ITark, the ferule on the pane,
Rap and rap, and rap again,
Rushing in with checks aglOw,
Half reluctantly they go.
Glide the busy hours away,
Till the warm suns westering ray,
Slants across the open door,
And the hours of school are Ger.
Happy, healthy girl and boy,
Full of simple. careless JOY.
Free from tyrant fashions rule,
Going TO the district school.
In the busy noon If life.
Mid lis restless fever strife.
As your pathways shall divide.
From the roof tree wandering wide,
Memories of these morning hours,
Song of birds and scent of flowers.
Bleat of lamb, and song of rill.
Will come sweetly DER you still.
And your thoughts 90 yearning back.
Der that simple childhood track.
When the longest road you knew,
Was the one that led YOU to-
SchOOl-houSe just mile away,
Where the birch and rule held sway.

The Stranger On the Sill.

Between the broad fields OF wheat and corn,
In the lonely home where Itwas born
The peach tree leans against the wall,
And the woodbine wauders over all
There is the shaded doorway still,
But strangers foot has crossed the sill.
There is the barn-and still as yore
! can smell the hay from the open door,
And see the busy swallows throng,
And hear the peewee's mournfn' song
1.ut the stranger comes-oh painful proof
His sheayes are piled to the heated roof.
There is the orchard--the very trees
Where my childhood knew long hours Of ease,
And watched the shadowy moments run,
Till ny life has inlbbed more shade than sun,
The swing from the bough now sweeps the air.
But the Strangers children are swinging there.
There bubbles the shady spring below,
Wihits buirrish brook where the hazels grow
Twas there | found the ealmus root,
And watched the minnows pose and shoot,
And saw tile robin lave his wing
Hut the strangers bucket Is ut the spring.
Oh, We who dtily cross the sill,
step lightly, for love it still
And Wien yen crowd tile old barn eanes,'
Then think what countless harye-t sheayes
Have passed within the scented door
To gladden. eyes that are no more.
Deal kindly with those orchard trees
And When yoar children crowd Your knees,
Their sweet st fruit shall they mpart,
A, II old memories stirred their heart,
To youthful sports still leave the swing,
And in sweet reverence hold the spring.
Tie iarn the frees tie brook, the birds,
The ne allows with their lowing herls,
The weodbee on tile cottage wall
My heart still fingers BY them all,
Ie strangers on nv native SH
Step light y, for love still

'Elie regular Washington correspond-
cllt Of the Boston Joafnaf under the date
Of Jan. {. telegraphs that papcras follows
"Mr. Blaine Of Maine. picked the coa-
citation bubble of an amendment to the
Constitution, changing The basis of repre-
srntati9n in Congress 50 that it shall ill.,
cude the whole number of persons except
those to whom equal rights or privileges
are denied OF abridged by the Constitution
or law Of any state on account of race or
color.
After having presented his proposed
amendment, Mr.. Blaine proceeded to de-
monsirate i'll his toreible manner the gross
injustice which the amendment, basing
representation on the number of voters,
would produce ON the loyal States. Cali
fornla has 3.JS 900 inhabitants, and Yer
mont 3l4,0D0 and each has three Repre-
Scntatiyes to-day. But California has
207 900 voters and Vermont has 5000
hence on the new basis, California would
have nearly three times as luany Rcprcscn-
tdtives as Vermont. Massachusetts aud
Indiana We're comparcd-thc former with
,222l 600. Massachusetts has 10 Repre-
sentatiyeS, and Indiana Han exactly
itIl Ni'iHi ittuhlFHI. l>Hb MdSNtCHuStttS ;
has 227 900 voters and Indiana has 3l7.-
000, SO that If Massachusetts should re
tain her 10 Representatives, Indiana would
have we'll nigh -; or if Indiana shouid be
confined to i, Massachusetts would be re-
daced to I. Mr.. Blaine pointed out other
inequalities which would result frem this
amendment.
Thaddeus Stevens interrupted Mr.. Blaine
to inquire if the larger number of vote rs
in the Wet did not arse from the fact of
New England emigration, and in this way
New England would fat still have her in
tereSt protected hy tAe vote Of her sons
Mr.. blaine replied that Mr., Stevens, so
long Chairman OF the Committee of Ways
and Means, must know that most yindic-
tive assaults on the tariff and other sup
posed interests of New England came from
the West, and too frequently from men
who had cmigrated from Eastern States
Mr.. Blaine exhibited the practical effect
of amendment proposed by him. Itwoud
simply exclude the colored population from
being reekoned in the numbers entitled to
representation. except in States where they
were fully enfranel!ised. 1t would deprive
the rcbelliouS States of all representation
based on disiraneiiised negroes, and it
would net disturb, the relative representa-
ton OF the loyal States, and would not ag-
grandize enc loyal section at the expense
Of another. >
