A BRIGHT ONE,-The brightest little chap,
for his size and age, that we ever saw, was
one whom we lately came across, torturng
tadpoIes 10 a spring upon a roadside, alto
gether out of sight and hearing Of any human
habtation.
"Where do you live, my son 2" inquired
we, just as he had stirred up q big bullfrog
from the mud, with mullen stalk.

"Where is your home 2"
"Oyer the hill. next house to Mr.. Wag-
ner's."
"Have you parents living :"
"What's them ?"
81 mean, have you father and mother 2"
Yes, sir but pap;s went dead a good
while, and mother says she won't stand it,
cause it too hard work"
"What work does your mother do 2"
"MIks the COW, and all sort O. things.'s
''Is your mother pious woman-a good
Christian 2" -F
"No, sir, she's Dutchman !"
Here the little genius went to stirring up
the frogs.

evening, and their selections were certain
ly of very high order. During the
course of the festivities, it was noticed that
the notIeman became very sad. His face
wore melancholy appearance, and those
who stood nearest to him saw him weeping.
What could have caused him to be mclan
choly at such time as that? +? One of the
pieces those musicians played was his
mothers favorite melody. She had often
sung it to him many years ago, and he had
not heard il since, until the students play
ed. 1t was enough to make him SORROW
ful, and it drew those students to his heart
in such way that he couldn't express his
feelings. They had recalled to mind the
piece which he had never been able to
fiud in music stores, and which it was now
worth fortune to him 10 hear.
must now make my story short. The
nobleman kept the four students in his
castle two weeks, became acquainted with
them fully, and learned their object in
leaving the university to give concerts
He supplied them with three thousand
guiIders, and told them that they might
have the privilege of making drafts on him
at any time.
On the evening Of the day when the old
man promised to appear, he stood below
the window, PLAYING his old violin. He
was true to his word, and expected the
promise to be kept The young men went
down to invite him up and told him all
they had done. They showed him the deed
for his place and gave it to him. On the
following day he formally took possession
of it, and they supplied it with furniture
and with groceries for housekeeping.
The young men felt that they were am
ply repaid for their failhfulness to their
word by the gratitude and joy of the old
man. But they were not only repaid IN
feelings; they were more than repaid in
money.
Fourteen years from that time that place
was taken into their possession ; for the
old man died and bequeathed it to them
in his will. That part of the town rose
suddenly in value. Many things contribu-
ted 10 its increased value which | will not
enumerate.
1t is enough to say that in seventeen
years from the time the four students gave
the deed of that house and garden to the
old musician, the same property which had
cost two thousand guilders was worth eigh
ty thousand. The students were not only
paid i'll heart, but also in money. They
had kept their word, and even to the poor
old man who had no power to compel them
to be true to it, was pleasant memory as
long as they lived.

MEMORIES.

Ab, life is full os memories of eyanescent CLEANS,
Of beautiful realities, which haunt us like cur
dreams;
Touch harp cord, long neglected and the Plantive
music thrills
Like the gently falling rain-drops, or the murmur
ing of rills,
Or the waving in the woodland, of the grand old
forest trees,
In the distance groanng, moaning, like the wild
complaining seas.
Yes they haunt u.s. memories haunt US, yet cannot
tell you why,
Tbs perchance life is but dreaming to such souls
you and l.
True life has stern realities, but let troubles
die,
And grasp the pleasures to our hearts, dreamcrs
like you and
We prck the fragrant flower, but the thorn we cast
away,
For joy lasts long in memory, pain fingers but a

Lay OF THE LAST MINSTREL
A PLEA FOR EGGS.

These are the days for pleas" of all kinds
"Pleas" for womans rights; pleas for the poo
the young, and the tempted .bu: the annexed plea
is something out of the order of common pleas"
Be gentle to the new laid egg,
For eggs are brittle things,
They cannot fly until they're hatehed,
And have pair Of wings.
If once you break the tender she'll,
The wrong you can't redress
The yolk and white will all run out,
And make q dreadful mess"
'Tis but liEtle while at best
That hens have power to lay,
Tomorrow eggs may added be,
That wore quite fresh to-day.
Oh, let the touch be light
That takes them from the keg,
There is NO hand whose cunning skill
Can mend a broken egg
Ay-touch 1t with tender touch,
For till the egg is billed,
Who knows but that, unwittingIy,
1t may be smashed and spilled.
The summer breeze tbSt 'gainst it blows
Ought to be stiled and hushed
For eggs, like youthful purity,
Are awful when they're squshed.

h ottled Cider.

One of our exchanges advises bottling
cider, and gives the following direc-
tiops:
For bottling let the pumace lie in the
trough over night. The first run of the
cider from the press is the best. Let
the cider work day or two, the casks
being full, so that the pumace may pass
off at the bung-hole. Then take an
empty cask, clean and sweet, put into
it ten or twelve gallons of the cider,
thrust into the cask through the bung
hole an ignited rag sulphur match, sus-
pended by a wire from the bung, to
which it is to be attached; and after
this another, and so on, till three or
four matches have been consumed.
Then shake the cask violently, until the
fumes of the sulphur are completely
incorporated with the cider. Pour the
cider thus prepared into the cask in
which you propose to keep 1t for the
winter. Repeat the same process until
the cask is full. Bung the cask tightly
and let it remain in the cellar, till
March, and then draw the cider off and
bottle it. Place the bottle upon the
bottom of the cellar, and cover with
sand. Some place the bottles up in
trench or between two bits of joists, as
in this way the corks will remain Sc
cure without twine or wire.
If YOU don't care to bottle it, you can
made excellent cider in this way: Take
pure cider, put it into clean casks; the
after the cider has worked so as to be
pleasant, add to each barrel pint of
mustard seed, and bung tight. The ci-
der will remain till spring of very pleas
ant taste and sparkling appearance,
when poured into tumbler.

Experimeuti in Feeding Cows.

In the correspondence of the Ohio
Farmer occurs the following: l have
had twenty-five cowsto milk, and found
timothy aud wild grass the best. To
feed in winter, use shorts, ground oats,
shorts and corn meal; shorts make more
milk than clear meal; oats ground do
better than either; but corn meal with
shorts makes richer milk; but no more
of it. have fed potatoes largely; they
do tolerably we'll, but milk day or two
old gets strong. Rutabaga turnips and
carrots would not do for me to make
butter from the milk; but of all the
roots | ever tried, sugar beet is the best
| heard pumpkins were good to make
milk, and tried them. l had twelve
mixers; divided them; fed six with
pumpkins three weeks, and all run on
grass alike. Those that had pumpkins
gave not a gill more milk than the 9th
