Grnnnie's Trust.

Dear Grapnie is with us no longerl
Her hair, that was whiteas tho snow,
Was parted one morning forever,
on her head lying soft and low;
Her hands left the Bible wide open,
To tell us the road she had trod,
With wnymarlcs it1ke footsteps TO tell us
The way she had gone up TO God.
No wonderful learning had Grannie,
She knew not the path ofthe stars,
For aught of the comets wide cycle,
Nor of Nebula's dim cloudy bars;
But she knew how the wise men adoring
!. Saw star I'm the East long ago;
She knew how tine first Christmas anthem
/. Came down TO the shepherds below.
She had her owntest I remember,
For people--whoer they might be-
When we spoke of the strangers about us,
Dut lately como over the sea;
of"Laura,' and Lizzie" and " Jamie
And stately old Essellby Oakcs,"
She listened, and whispered IL softly.
my dear, are these friends meetin'-folks?
When our John went away to the city
With patriots, whom all the world knew
To be sober and honest great merchants,
For Grannie this all would not do;
Till she pulled at John's sleeve In the twilight
To be certain before he had gone;
And he smiled rs he heard the old question
Areyou sure theyare meetin'-folks, John
When Minnie came homo, from the city,
And left heart and happiness there,
saw her close lSneellng by Grannle,
With the dark wrlnkled hands on her hair
And amid the low sobs OF the maiden
came softly the ptrcfnuloustone
" He wasn't like meetin' folks, MinHiep
Dear child, you are better alone"
And now from the corner we miss her,
We hear that reminder no more;
But still, unforgotten, the echo
Comes back from that far-nwny shore;
Till Sophistry sinks In the corner,
Though Charity sweet has her due,
Yet we feel. II we want to meet Grannie,
pTwere best TO be ueetin folks, too.

How a Farmer May Lose money.

How n Farmer May Lose Money.
BY not taking good home paper.
Keeping no account of home opera
tions. ~. +, f,f g
Paying no attention to the maxim:---
"a stitch in time saves nine" In regard
to the sowing OF grain and planting of
seed atthe proper season. et
Leaving reapers, plows, cultivatcrs,
etc., uncovered from the rain and heat
of the sun. More money Is lost in this
way than most people are willing to be-
lieve. s. afrlt
Permitting broken implements to be
scattered over the farm until they are
! irreparable. BY repairing broken imple-
ments at the proper time many dollars
may be saved, O proof of the assertion
that "time is money"
Attending the auction sales, and pur-
chasing all kinds of trumpery because,
I in the words of the vender, the articles
are livery cheap"
| Allowing fences to remain unrepaired
until strange cattle are found grazing in
the meadow, grain field, or bruising the
| fruit trees.
Disbelieving the principle of rotation
of crops before making single expert
ment.
Planting fruit trees with the expecta-
tfon of having fruit, without giving the
trees half the attention required to make
them profitable.
Practicing economy by depriving stock
of proper shelter during the winter, and
giving them unsound food, such as hall
rotten and mouldy hay or fodder.
Keeping an innumerable tribe of rats
on the premises, and two or three lazy
dogs that eat up more in q month than
they are worth in y whole life time.
And lastly, he loses by not reading the
advertisements of those who patronize
the printer, they being invariably the
most enterprising and liberal houses tc
deal with, when he goes to town.

During the Petersburg campaign oi
1854 several privates were engaged in
unloading barrels of "salt horse !" from
a transport Mt City Point, and were in
charge OF Lieutenant of n New York
Regiment, who took every occasion to
show his authority. To one of his
abusive remarks one of the prlvates
made reply, whereupon the Lieutenant
administered several kicks to the offend
er, who offered no resistance, but con-
tinued on with his work. A short,
thickset man, wearing slouched hat,
and rather seedy officers cloak, who
had been standing by for some time,
hereupon threw of his cloak and coat
and proceeded to help unload the trans
port.
After the task had been accomplished,
the officer donned his coat and cloak
and asked the Lieutenant, in very civil
terms, his name and regiment.
"Lieutenant--, Of the-New
York Volunteers. BY what authority
do you dare ask such a question ?n
"Report yourself Immediately TO your
Colonel under arrest, by order of Gen
eral Grant, for cruelty to your men, and
remember that abuse OF privates by
officers Is not tolerated by the present
commander of the army" replied the
"thlck-set " officer, lightning slgar
walking slowly away.

AN Interesting incident took place at
Springfield, Illinois, last week, when o
party Of emigrants from Indiana arrived
In tho city. They were on their way to
Missouri, but on reaching Springfield they
paused and turned aside to visit the tomb
OF Abraham Lincoln, tho Martyr Presi-

and children passed by the last resting
place OF the great man who had won
their lovo and admiration, In solemn
silence and with heads uncovered. The
emigrants thus paying tribute TO the
memory of Mr.. Lincoln were of the most
intelligent class of artisans and farmers
from the Hoosler State, and TO those who
met them on the way, they stated that
they could not pass Through Springfield
without stopping to visit and pay hom.
