chant bit the coins, which they had given
him, with his teeth, and turned them
about and looked curiously upon them !;
and cast them upon his counter, and lis
tened if they rang, and then he said,
these be bogus And they said. depart
thou to Hades, and went their way y
When they were come to their houses they
recognized them, albeit they seemed old
and mean; and they rejoiced and
were glad. They ran to the doors and
knocked, and strangers opened and looked
inquiringly upon them. And they said,
with great excitement, while their hearts
beat high and the color in their faces came
and went: Where is my father? Where
is my mother? Where are Dyonisius and
Serapion, and Pericles~and Decius ? And
the strangers that opened said, we know
not these The Seven said, how, you
know them not How long have ye dwelt
here, and whittier are they gone that dwelt
here before ye? And the strangers said /:
'Ye play upon with a jest, young men we
and our fathers have sojourned under the
roofs these six generations the names ye
utter rot upon the tombs, and they that
bore them have run their brief race, have
laughed and sung, have borne the sorrows
and the WEAKNESS that were allotted them,
and are at rest; for nine score years the
summers have come and gone, and the
autumn leaves have fallen, since the roses
faded out of their cheeks, and they laid
them to sleep with the dead
''The seven young men turned them
away from their homes, and strangers shut
the doors upon them. The wanderers
marveed greatly, and looked into the ia
ces of all they met as if they hoped to
meet some Que whom they knew but all
were strangers and passed them by and
spake no friendly word. They were sore
distressed and sad. Presently they spake
unto citizen and said, who is the king
Of Ephesus?' And the citizen answered
and said, Whence come ye that We know
not that great Laertus reigns in Ephesus 2?
They looked one at the other greatly per-
picked, and presently asked again, Where
then, is the good king Maxim:lanus !?
The citizen moved him apart as one who is
afraid, and said. Verify these men be mad
and dream in dreams, else would they
know that the king whereof they spake is
dead allows .wo centuries ago.
Then the scales fell from the eyes Of
the seven, and one said, Alas, that We
drank of the curious liquors. They have
made US weary, aud in dreamless sleep
these two long centuries have we lain. Our
homes are aoaolate, orr friends are dead.
Behold the jig is up-let US ante up and
pass the buck And the same day they
went and laid them down and died.

Manuring Potatoes in the Hill.

IF it were not for the amount of labor
required, we should manure all hoed crops
in the hill or row. We are convinced that
manure applied in this way is Of far more
use to the crop than when spread broadcast.
If near, or in the hill, (not quite in contact
with the seed it invigorates the plant and
it gets prosperously started early in the
season. Take bill Of corn, for example,
and suppose that the coarse manure has
been carelessly spread; the bulk of it may
be nearer to the middle of the row than to
the plants it is designed to benefit. In
this case, how long will it take for the corn
roots to extend and appropriate the nutrl-
ment? But we started to note the expe-
rience and practice Of a successful potato
grower, for the benefit Of our readers. 1t
has been his invarable practice, during a
series of trials with this crop. to manure
III the hill and the result was he raised
large crops and got rich. After the pota-
toes were planted, it was his custom to load
the barn yard manure on a wagon, drive
into the field and put forkful on each
hill. When the plants first appeared he
hoel them, drawing up the fresh dirt and
and covering the manure. BY this prac-
tice the manure was made to serve as a
mulch as well as a fertilizer. We have
no doubt but that the farmer derived en-
ough extra benefit from this method'of ap
plying the manure, to compensate him for
the increased labor .-Rm-al Neac Yorker.

TO Raise Early Tomatoes.

About the first of March, take q few
large turnips and cut out the hearts of
them, to form sort of cup. Fill the cav
tiles with earth and plant two or three to-
mato seed in each. When the seeds have
all sprouted, pull up all but the healthiest
plant in each turnip and let those that re-
main stand where they will have the bene-
fit of the sun; the plant will grow very
thrifty-the decaying turnip gives it food.
When the weather becomes sufficiently
warm, set the turnips in well prepared soil,
not less than three feet apart, make the
lath frames to keep the vines from the
ground. and keep the soil well billed up
around them, and you will have crop
that will astonish the natives The ad-
vantage consists in getting the plants, star
ted early without setting them back in
transplanting Mary1aud Farmer.
