A Personal Sketch of Senator

personal sketch Of Senator Wade:
His parents were among the poorest
people i'll Massachusetts, and he never haG

OF twenty one he had read great number
OF books. lie read the Binlc through in i;
single winter by the light Of pine torches
i'll his wood chopping cabin. His grand
father on his mothers side was u minister,
aud had il small hut well selected library,
and tu this he was indebted in his early
youth for much valu able information. Mr..
Wade is still hard student. and what lie

ays it down.
The habits of the Senator are peculiar
He rises at daylight summer and winter,
and makes up tho fires in the house then

drawer requiring attention. lie gets
over fifty papers and periodicals.. His wife
who is Il great reader, aNts most mtrli-
gent and accomplished lady, generally
reads one or two hours to him every night.
Mr.. Wade is very fond Of Nasty. and
all his letters are read at night. go the
whole family can laugh with him, for he
says he don like to laugh alone. Comic
al books are often read to him, and
amusc him immensely. His wife, being
asked for Christmas gift, bought him
Old Mother Goose and he was so greatly
pleased with her taste, that. to convince
her he appreciated her gift. he learned

CUTTING GRASS EARLy.-.A majority
of farmers aud stock feeders, perhaps nine
tcnths, are now fully satisfied that early
cut grass is preferable for hay to feed out
on the farm. BY early cut is meant that
cut while the plant is i'll aower- in opposi.
ton to that cut WHEN it has gone to s@cG
Cut at the latter period it no doubt makes
heavier and bulkicr hay, but the quality
cannot be compared with that Of the same
variety of grass cut while in blossom. Cat
tic fod on the early cut will show the differ
ence. They relish it. cat it ur clean. and
gain more rapidly. The reason is evident:
it is more like the grass in its green and
succulcnt state.
Another rcason Sos cutting grass early il
that the weeds, ferns. SC, mixed with tho
grass makes good fodder. whereas if left
till ripe it would only he fit for bedding.
Thus what wosld be only second T,alia.v
hay. If cut early is equal to first quality
grasses left in the fl ID until it ripens and
the properties of the plant have changed
to seed and woody fiber.

Marriage of Sir John Moore.

Not a sigh was heard, not funeral note,
AS the man to his bridal was hurried;
Not a woman discharged her farewell groan
On the spot where the fellow was married.
We married them just about eight at night,
Our faces paler turning,
By the struggling moonbeam's misty light,
And the gas-lamp's steady burning.
Few and short were the things we said,
And we spoke not word of sorrow,
But we silently gazed ON the man that was wed
And we bitterly thought of the morrow.
Lightly vel talk of the fellow that gone,
And oft for the past upbraid him;
But little he II reck if we let him live on
In the house where his wife conveyed him.
But our heavy task at length was done,
When the clock struck the hour for retiring;
And we heard spiteful squib and pun
The girls were sullenly firing.
Slowly and sadly we turned to go,
We had struggled and we were human;
We she'd not tear, and we spoke not our woe,
But we left him alone with his woman

the book is not yet closed, nor ready to be laid
aside for the moths to feed upon. Yet a feel
ing Of sadness, WEAKNESS creeps over us to-

ter. We would rest, we would stay the wheels
of time. All ! we would even have them roll
backwards, and let us read again the old chap
tiers that are familiar to US. ''Talk face to face
with those We love, hear the sound of their
voices, and catch with eagerness the pet-names
which have so many time thrilled us and sent
the warm blood coursing through our veins un-

happiness to know that in the world-among
the millions Of humanity and deceit-there are
those who love us, those who will be true to us.
It is shield that no shaft can penetrate-it is
the invincible arlnor of angels. 1t is our life,
duty, our comfort, our joy, far deeper and
sweeter than the world knows or cares for

for them; when we struggle it is to earn their
smiles, and to see Tor imagine in our mind S

as they realize our successes; when the storm
howls without, their heart is the magic door
through which we enter for strength. And,
