of my design, lest you should not play

resolved to propose you to the Prince as
successor to our organist, and knew he
would go to the church to hear you when

turned out as thought it would. Our
good, gracious Prince accompanied me to
the church, heard you play like an angel

Of joy ran down his cheeks, 80 my God

ness? What will my dear wife say when

rejoice 0 my God (! it is too much, too
much! What have done to deserve it?
Control yourself" said the Chamber
lain seriously. ''God has sent you this
good fortune because you were patient
in trouble and joyful in hope. All things
are for the best to those who love God.
This is what you said when your house
was burning; and now he has fulfilled
those very words"
"And blessed be His name!" cried
Walther, looking upward. "Oh, give
unto the Lord, for He is good, for
His mercy endureth foreverr'
One can imagine the joy that was felt
by Walther's wife, his children, the Herr
Pastor and other friends when he made
known his good fortune to them. We
need only add that Walther enjoy |
ed his happiness with ceaseless graf
itude to God, and in true friendship for
the good old Chamberlain whom he had
chosen as the instrument of his own low

For the Palladium.
SUNSHINE AND SHADOW.

The summer has come, The bright spring has gone
The field and the meadow are joyful with song,
The blooming blossoms have withered and fell,
The green grass hzs covered the hill and the dell, 4
The insects are buiIding their houses of clay, 7
The blithe bee is storing its honey away,
The soft breeze of even bears fragrance in air,
And all is 50 lovely, SO young and so fair.
The summer has come, the bright spring has gone,
The suns brilliant Radiance l,.mines the lawn, -
The kline in the meadow, the sheep on the hill
Lie lszly dreaming eating their 6ii .- =
The squirrel in the forrest-the bird on the tree.
Chatter gaily and blitbely, light, happy and free
Man My, is earnes.-his work must 60 on
For time is fast Aeetirg. andiife soon IS done.
The summer has come, the bright sfz ing has gone,
Obi fair the hopes that have Perished and flown;
Like the blossoms of spring they were born but t die
In the grves o. each heart deeply buried they lie:
And the shadows they've left on hfe's early morn
Fit as feathery clouds from the whitening storm;
For other bright hopes with the summer have dawned
Ard to other fond idols hearts now are turned.

THE STORY OF A POOR MUSICIAN.
Translated from the German by the author of "Suses
Six Birthdays"

In a village not far from the capital,
there lived q poor musician with wife
| and child, or rather children, for he had
six of them. Things went hard enough
with him. and he was not wanting in
many cares, occasioned by his numerous
| family. His income was very SMALL
Sunday he played the organ in the
church, and although the parish was
wonderfully edited by the glorious
sounds he enticed from the instrument
with skilIful hand, it never occurred to
it to reward the modest artist. He re
ceived for his profession Of organist
twenty dollars year, and with this sum
the worthy peasants thought he ought
to be satisfied.
Walther, for such was the name OF the
musician, was satisfied with it, and it
never occurred to him to ask the austere
village magistrates for an increase to
his scanty salary. Even if they had
with held his yearly twenty dollars, he
would still have gone on playing Sun
day after Sunday in the church; for to
sit at his beloved organ. and to let its
harmonious tones bear his soul away as
on wings to his God and Saviour, was
his most heartfelt pleasure, his deepest
delight.
But the twenty dollars, although Wal
ther owned small house, did not suf-
fee to feed and clothe his large family.
To be sure it was not necessary to buy
shoes and boots for the children, for in
summer time the little boys and girls
ran about barefoeted, and in winter
they had to content themselves with
wooden shoes, which, if they were lit
tie heavy, ut least kept them warm, and
did not need resolin2, as leather ones
would do But children must have
clothes. Frau Walther made their gar
ments of gray linen, woven and spun by
herself, in order that they might not
cost so much but even this simple
clothing cost money, and many times in
the year friend Walther scratched be-
hind his ear when his wife came and rep
resented that Hans or Christian or Lotte
must really have new garment, because
the old one was so torn that it could be
pieced and patched no more. Then they
would take counsel together, and some
how or other, when their poverty reach
ed its height, help would come from the
most unexpected quarter. On account
of his gentle, kind disposition. the vii
layers were very fond of Walther, and
though it never occurred to them to
raise his salary, which would have been
the proper thing. get, when he had play
ed unusually we'll. they would send him
gifts that often helped him in his most

These, however would not have him
dered Walther and his family from suf-
ferinR with hunger, if besides his art he
had not also learned trade, and that
was the trade of q tailor. Besides, he
often played at weddings and other fes-
tivals in the village, and this brought in
some money which was of great service
to his family. In the long run, however,
things went hardly enough with him,
and many time in the year he and his

our possession. As hay for sheep, we have
considered it unriValed, and should have
no fears that any stock would not winter
well, with a supply Of well cured clover hay.
And here lies, we think, the grezt source
Of objection TO clover hay. Il Is too often
imPerfectly cured. To save the leaves and
the heads, which are apt to fall in hand
ling or curing, the hay is put into the barn
while the large stems are full OF moisture
or the natural juices, and the fermentation
which ensues causes the whole mass to
become damp and if not spoiled wholly,
it becomes moldy, black, and when used
raises such a dust it is no wonder that
horses aud cattle are choked, or their lungs
destroyed. Cur experience shows that
clover may be perfectly cured without losing
any Of its valuable paris; cured so that
when fed OUT, no more dust will be flying
than from timothy or herds grass, and we
shall be slow TO believe that from such hay
any injury to animals ever ensues.

How TO Raise Tomatoes.

The best gardeners in France are in
the habit Of cutting off the stem of the
tomato plants down to the first cluster Of
flowers that appear thereupon This
impels the sap into the two buds next be-
low the cluster, which soon push strongly
and produce another cluster of flowers
each When these are visible the branch
to which they belong is also topped down
to their level and this is done five times
successfully. BY this means the plants
become stout dwarf bushes not over
eighteen inches high In order to pre-
vent them from falling over, sticks or
strings are stretched horizontally along
the rows, so as 10 keep the plants erect
In addition to this, all the laterals that
have no flowers, and after tho fifth top
ping all laterals whatsoever are nipped
OF In this way the ripe sap is directed
into the fruit which acquires a beauty,
size and excellence unattainable by other
means. Il will be well for our friends
to try this simple and rational method
the present season.

Every gardener knows that this is a most
destructive insect among melon, cucum-

troublesome. Now we have tried for
several years another which has proved
with US a complete success Instead Of

is an ample supply of bright, dry straw on

may be removed from the 6eld after re-

should be followed by layer Of straw, and
so on, alternating the one with the other.
This is an excellent plan, and when opened

Some writers have taken the position
that clover hay produces a most injurious
effect on domestic animals particularly

We lately heard a farmer affirm that he be-

reason Tor this singular opinion, its effects
