SUMMER DAYS.
By FLORENCE PERCY.

Oh, summer days. dear summer daysl how sweet We
Ind fair
When beauty smiles and fragrance breahcs throughout
When all the birds have built their nests, in loving
couples twinned,
And yellow butterflies in pairs come Waiting down the
wind.
The morninggores drape the wall with crimson, white
and blne,
Coquetline with the honcybees the long mornings
Through;
The hummng hangs poised above the llys nectar
And unhedged birings twitte, in the nest above the
door.
The granre sits beside the porch, where coolest shad
ows lie,
While all the bees and butterflies and moths 90 fitting

They rise So fair, and glide far into the golden night
All me-! he says, dream upon the years which used
To be;
wonder if twill come to u,c-the time when shall
see no splenlor in the sky no beauty in the day
When birds will sing above my head their chorus glad
and clear,
Yet bring no utter my heart no rapture to my ear
wonder if too shall sit and dream old mans
And vaguely mediate and brood on hafforgotten
themes;
While all the hues and symphonies Of and sse and
earth
Pass vanIy by needless sense, like trcs nothing

All mol whatever change may come, that change can
never be,
Not all the time bring not all life's might

The peach trees will not fail to blush because my bloom

An Arctic Night and Day.

A corrcspondcnt who accomnanicd the
cvncdition of DIR. HAYES in search Of an
open Polar Sea, thus notices the coming ON
OF winter darkness, and the return of the
sun after the long nights have passed. On
the 18th of November he writes
" The darkness is not yet quite absolute.
With snhc difficulty, can still soc 10 read
ordinary print at noon As November
ended, the last CLEAN OF twilight fades, but
the stars shine at all hours with great bril-
liancy, and the moon gives some relief
From It's rising to its setting, it shines con
tinnally, clrcling round the horizon, and
running nnlnt"rrnrtedly ITS ten days conra"

and the general cloarness OF tn" atmosphere.
Nothing in nature is more impressive, nay,
more CHASTITY, thar arctic scenery under this

Drying Fruit.

be adopted on an extensive scale; the fruit
may be kept with less care, and being sew.

sent long distances, or to foreign countries,
at a moderate cost. When fruit growers
shall learn that dried fruit from the highest
favored sorts is as much better than that

used for this purpose, rs the best fresh fruit
of the one sort exceeds the other, purcha.

Their, there will be no difficulty in finding a
ready sale for all that may be offered IN

the surplus should be saved by drying, and
may be kept another year.
In some parts of the Western States,
houses are erected for drying fruit, and are
warmed by fire heat, by means of furnace
with hue extending around the building,
similar to that formerly used for green

Long strips Of scantling, laid horizontally,
extending the whole length of the house,
and six or eight feet outside, form sort of
railway track on which frame with rollers
runs in and out through wide door, for
running in the fresh fruit and bringing out

There is small portable fruit drying
house, capable,of being carried to the or

of small building from two and half to
four feet square, " amy other convenient
dimensions, the lower part covered with
sheet iron to prevent danger from fire, and
containing small stove, extending through
the house, from the rear of which passes
the stove pipe on the outside. The fuel

it up ON the same side as the door of the
stove, reversing the place Of the doors for

down UBited States Gag. which, IL he had
done il, deserved 70 such punishment
The facts we're well known in New Orleans.
Muulford was innocent Of the charge, the
Gag being removed by mere youth Of six
teen years Of age, who was afterwards killed
in the Confederate Aamy. This retcrt to
the murdered Mumfold would have fianked
Butler completely, Lut Bingham did not
make the point, and thus, sOn the whole
gained little if any advantage in the per-
sonalities, when he had all the odds on his
side. lie might have said to Butler in this
connection, that he tButlerl was ohoked
by the death Of Mumiord, " which was ,he
retnrt made to Robespierrc npon q memo

Mumiord.
There is in these rejOinders that Which
shows how history repeats itself. The
charges Of blood and atroci,y thus mutually
made, remind one of the scenes of crimins

discussions between those who have been

may be anticipated. Mr.. Bingham, despite
some very bad antecedents, could make for
them quite an attonement If he shonld be
able to overthrow the cowardly AMI bloody

carnage Of the past, weuld irench the land
in gore, and make it widespread theater
of woe and cruel lamen'ation. F.a.5 .... F.
