Green Things Growing.

On. the green things growing the green things
growing!
The fresh sweet smell of the green things grow
ing!
I would like to live, whether 1 laugh or erieve,
To watch the happy life of the green things
growing.
Oh (! the aut,erng and pas,ering of the green
things growing!
Talking each to each when no mans knowing;
In the wonderful white of the weird moon
light
Or the gray dreamy dawn when the cocks are
growing.
love, L love them so, tic green things grow
ing
Aud think tha t they love mo without false show
Fur by many tender touch they comfort me so
much,
Wi.h the mute, mute comfort of green things
growing.
And in the full wealth of their blossoms glow
ing,
Tea for one take they're me bcstowing,
All: should like to sec if Gods will it might
be,
Many, many summer of my green things grow
ing.
But If I must be gathered for the angels SOW
ing
Sleep out of sight awhile-like the green things
growing;
Though earth to earth return, I think shall not
mouru,H
Ii I may change into green things growing.

not of economy. Economy saves adorns,
and beauties. Farm & Garden.
Graning,

AS the time will soon be here when
grating will be in order, we will repeat
our former advice that every farmer
should do his own grating. 1t is very
easy operation when once understood,
and this is readily done by seeing the
operation. a sharp penknife and good
fine saw are indispensable. Splitting the
stalk so that the bark shall not be bruised
and shaping the scion wedge-tashion both
ways, preserving also the bark uninjured
and placing the rim Of the rood of
both stock and scion exactly together, SO
that the sap can intermingle-there is no
danger OF failure if properly waxed. We
maze shoulder to the graft and think it
adds to the certainty of success, though
probably weakens it. We prefer also
two eyes or buds to graft, and would
rather have only one than more than two.
One years wood should always be used
when it can be obtained, as it is more
certain to take and grows more vigorous
ly.
We wish to remind those preparing
grating wax, that we have found foua'
parts of rosin, one part of beeswax, and
one part beef tallow, to be the best pro-
portions. Melt them together in skillet,
(which is the best, or lineup, and mix
well. 1t should remain in the vessel and
used as needed. Twenty or thirty scions
can be waxed with one heating up. When
much grating is to be done, little fire
for heating the wax should be made on
the spot, between two bricks or stones.
We have seen various preparations for
making grating wax and believe we
have tried them all, but prefer our own.
Applying warm or hot does no injury to
the graft. The object to attain in the
proportion is that the wax will not crack
in cool, dry weather, or run in W: rm
weather. If however, upon trial, differ
ent proportions berequired, the foregoing
can be altered, though after trying them
in several ways, we have come back to
these.-Germantown Telegraph.

Agricultural Laborers of Prussia.

NJ. Emile de Lave.eye has just con-
trbuted an article to the Revue des Dear
Moades, in which an interesting account
is given of the progress made by Prussia
during fifty years Of peace. Writing on
agriculture, he points out that nearly all
the landowners cultivate their own es.
tates; except for detached portions, rent
ing is the exception. They are, therefore,
retained in the country by the care of
their own interests, for nothing more i'm.
periously requires the eye of q master
than rural industry. 1t is true they are
aided by class of employees who are
not found in any other country. They
are educated young men belonging to
families in good position, often just
leaving an agricultural college, who re-
main for certain time on some large
estate to initiate themselves in the prac-
tical direction of one Of their own. This
novitiatc is an ancient custom still pre-.
served in many trades. Thus, frequently.
the son Of 3 rich holei-kceper will no:
hesitate to enter another hotel as butler
or waiter (KclIner) to be initiated into
MI the details Of the service over which
he will one day have to preside. Whcm
any one visits the farms (Ri;tergutter)
he is astoui>hed 10 see as superintendent
the son Of banker, a baron. or rich
landowner. These young people drive
q cart or guide the plough. at noon
they return, groom their horses, and then
20 and dress themselves and dine at the
owners table, TO whom they are not in,
terior, either in instruction: birth or man,
ners. After the meal, they resume their
working dress aud return, without any
Ellse shame, to their rustic occupation.
Thus we find in feudal Prussia trait Of
manners suited to the democratic society
of the United States, and which hereafter
will become general. In France. in Eng
land especially. a young man of the up
per class would believe his dignity com.
promised in performing the work of a
farmlaborer. Paris Corresp't of Land

2. That where certain igneous eruptions
penetrated the Secondary deposits. the latter

in favor of the igneous origin Of that metal
is prodigious!y strengthened; or in other
words. that the GRANTEES and diortes have
been the chief gold-producers, and that the
auriferous quartz-bands in the PslGozoic

some sharp comments from the Northern

fanatic come into the national legislative
halls, while the Chief Magistrate is making

that we must Of necessity pass through the
''tragedy" Of his removal, and that the sue
