Ice Mountains in West Va.

On the east bank of the North river,
in Hampshire County, West Va, is per-
haps one of the greatest curiositles in the
State. 1t is literally an lee Mountain, in
height from 400 hundred to 500 feet
The Western side of this Mountain is
covered with loose stone, Of light color,
from the base to the summit. BIZ remov-
ing the stone, pure solid crystal ice can
be found in the warmest days of summer,
and it has been found there even as late
as the middle of September. 1t may ex-
list throughout the entire year if the rocks
were removed to a sufficient depth. What
seems strange is that the side of the
noun tain where the ice is found is expos
ed to the sun throughout the day, and it
is said that the sun does not have as much
effect in melting the ice as continuous
rains At the base of this mountain is a
spring of water, very clear and cold
Some years ago the owner of the proper

Making Grape Wine.

A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph gives the following recipe for
producing five gallons of excellent wine:
Express the juice from twenty pounds of
grapes, and rinse the pulp and skins in as
much water as will cover them. Mash
them and strain through coarse cloth
add this to the juice and put in two
pounds of brown sugar to each gallons
when the sugar is Dissolved put the whole
in key, having the bung open, and let
it stand where the temperature will be
about 70 degrees, until Fermentation ceas-
es then bung tight, and let it rest for a
month to settle, when it should be drawn
off quietly, the keg well washed and the
wine returned to it, adding one pound Of
good raisins-and, if the wine does not
seem sweet enough, two pounds of sugar
may be added to the whole
The necessity of doing this depends
upon the kind and quality of the grapes.
The wine should remain until the key is
wanted the next season, when it may be
bottled for USE

double man, of whom the following &C
count is given in the Rerane Scotiaruna
Historic: During the reign of james the
Third, of Scotland. and of his Court. there
lived man double above the waist, single

to be carefully brought up. He rapidly
acquired knowledge of music. The two
heads learned several languages; they de-
bated together, and the two upper halves
occasionally fought. They lived general
ly, however. in the greatest harmony.

tickled, the two individuals felt it together;
but when, on the other hand, one of the
upper individuals was touched. alone he

the bodies died several days before the

Farmers cannot manure more cheaply,or
successfully than by blowing down green
clover This is" especially true with farms
located Sc far away from cities or towns as
to make the manures obtained from them
expensive. A poor field of grass will not
pay the expense of converting it into hay,
but may lay the foundation for a good

LONGING.
o<t u nv VI
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL

BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.
Of all the myriad moods of mind
That through the soul came thronging,
Which one was e'er SO dear, so kind,
So beautiful as longing?
The thing we long for, that we are,
For one transcendent moment;
Before the present, poor and bare,
Can make its .sneering comment.
Still, through our paltry stir and strife,
Grows down our wished ideal;
And longing moulds in clay what life
Carves in the marble real;
To let the new life in we know,
Desire must ope the portal,
Perhaps the longing to be so
Helps make the soul immortal.
Longing is Gods fresh heavenward will,
With our poor earthward striving;
We quench it thatW may be still
Content with merely living.
But, would we learn The hearts full scope,
Which we are :parly Wronging,
Our lives must climb from nope to hope.
And realize our longing
All !let us hope that to our praise
Good God not only reckons
The moments when we tread his ways,
But when the spirit beckons:
That some slight good is also wrought
Beyond dissatisfaction,
When we are simply good in thought,
Howe'er we fail in action.

GOD BLESS THE FARM.

God bless the farm-the dear old farm!
God bless it every rood
Where willing heart and sturdy arm
Can earn an honest livelihood
Can from the coarse and fertile sod
Win back recompense for toll.
God bless each meadow, field and nook,
Begemmed with fairest flowers
And every leaf that's gently shook
By evening breeze or morning show ers;
God bless them all each leafs gem
In Natures gorgeous diadem.
The orchards that in early spring
Blush rich with fragrant flowers,
And with each autumn surely bring
Their wealth of fruits in golden showers,
Like promegranates on Aaron's rod,
A miracle from Natures God.
And may He bless the farmers home,
Where peace and plenty reign
No happier spot meath Heavens high dome
Doth this broad, beauteous earth contain,
Than where, secure from care and strife,
The farmer leads his peaceful life.

The United states and spain.

LONDON, Sept 26.-Adyices from
Spain are interesting. Information COM
ing from most reliable sources in Madrid
has been received in refutation of the ru-

effect that the United States government
had communicated with Minister Sickles,
directing him to withdraw the note on the
subject of Cuba, its sale, or transfer, if
the terms of the mission were not accep-
table to the Spaniards.
What Mr. Sickles did convey to Sc
rano. and other ministers of Spain really
amounted to this: That the government
of the United States may withdraw its Of
fer of friendly mediation on the part
of the American people between Spain and
the Cuban revolutionists, leaving the re-
sponsibility of the consequences, as well
as the consequences which may ensue, on
Spain herself.
