THE UNION AND AMERICAN.



BY MRS. ELIzABErH BARRETT BROWNING.
:, o Rosel who dares to name thee?
NO longer roseate now. nor soft nor sweet:
DGt barren, and hard, and dry as stubble-wheat
thee.
The breeze that used to blow thee
IetWeen the hedge-thorns, and thence take away
an odor up the lane, 10 last all day
breathing now-unsweetend would forego
thee.
The sun that used to Light thee,
ana NIX his glory in thy gorgeous urn.
I'M beam appeared TO bloom and flower to burn
II shining now-with not hue would digit thee.
The dew that used TO wet thee,
And, white FIRST grew incarnadined, because
il lay upon thee where the crimson was
If dropping now-would darken where it met
thee.
The fly that Lii upon thee,
y stretch the tendrils of its tiny feet
Along the leafs pure edges after heat
If lighting now-would coldly overrun thee.
The bee that once did suck thee,
And build thy perfumed ambeTs up his hive,
And swoon in thee for joy, till scarce alive
II passing nbw-would blindly overlook thee.
The heart doth recognize thee,
Alone, alonel The heart doth smell thee sweet,
Doth view thee fair doth judge thee most complete,
Though seeing now those changes that disguise
thee
Yes, and the heart doth owe thee
More love- dead rose! than to such roses bold
As Julia wears at dances, smiling cOld!-
Lie still upon this heart, which breaks below
thee.

that gave my black oats, and the result has been
that the HRamsden Norways" yielded more than
double my black oats. The stalks are very large
and strong, and the heads yield more than double
the number of kernels of the ordinary varieties.

the soil and climate of the South generally, and
that farmers should not fail 70 raise them and
on their richest SOIL they choose as the stalks are

YIELD AND QUALITY.

We claimed last year that the Norway Dat
would yield double that Of any other kind.
They have done better than that.
We claimed that they were . per cent.
heavier, They have exceeded that in weight.
We claimed that they were better in quality.
Reliable farmers say they are worth 100 per
cent. more for home consumption, and will
make whittier and sweeter -four than the best
wheat.
Farmers who can do so are invited to visit
either of cur stores. and examine the grain and
specimens of stalks, root. branch and head. We
have mammoth roots producing as many as 2i5
stalks from a single kernel, which are visited by
hundreds daily, and considered, justly, as We
think. the wonder of the agricultural world.
We shall continue 10 furnish the genuine Rams
dell Norway Oats as a specially for two years to
come. The price next year will not be less than
81. One farmer in every town can make small
fortune on the crop from few bushels.
Price 81 so per bushel; 81 per half bushel;
50 50 per peck Sold by the standard Of 81 ID 10

the purchaser. Bags free. Remit by drait, p.

SPURIOUS SEED.

Hepdreds Of bushels of Canada. New Bruins
wick. Surprise. Poland. and numerous other
varieties of oats were sold last year our seed.
Parties are again advertising and attempting to
deceive the farmers. One party has already for
Warded several thousand bushels of Canada
oats to the West. where he Is selling them as
urseed. We cautioned farmers last year against
these frauds. But. because they could buy at q
lower price. and the representations appeared
honest. they purchased elsewhere; and now.
when they have learned BY the result that they
were deceived, they are writing TO US to punish
the sWindlers. To all such We beg to say that we
have enough to do to attend to cur own busi-
ness We renew our caution, and give notice
that hereafter we shall sell our seed under the
name oftheRAMSDELL NORWAY OATS The
demand for this seed is sufficient to guarantee
sale of every bushel in the country at our estab-
lished price; and farmers who bought seed from
US are asking from 81 80 to $40, aud one evidence
of seed being spurious is the fact of its being
offered at less than the regularly established
prices. No man Is likely to go to the trouble
and expense Of ADVERT sing and selling this seed
at less price than he knows he would pay for
it, if genuine. There is not seed enough tc sup
ply the State of California alone, while others
are coming in from every state and Territory
and many parts Of Europe. There are upward
Of JiDe millions of farmers IN the United states
yet to be supplied with this seed. and the whole
crop this year would not give each a pint.
Where one farmer had the faith in our repre-
sensations to buy last year. thousands are salts,
fed and anxious to get 1t now. One more word
on this subject eff inferior seed. Many seed
dealers bought and sold seed last year which
they may honestly have believed to be genuine,
which was not; and some farmers, we are
sorry to say it. who raised twenty-five bushels,
sold more than twice that quantity. The demand
which the great success of this grain the past
season has created will sweep of the entire
stock in a short time, and will offer unusual
advantage for bogus operators; and we are COM
PEELED, in justice ourselves as well as for the
protection of the public, TO publish the above
facts The only safe way for the farmer is to
make up his mind how much he wants, and if
neighbor whom he knows and can trust has
the seed of his own raising, buy of him;
if not send at once to US. Our best and heay.

supervision of Mr.. Ramsdale. will be offered first

41r PoRr1AxD SCHOOLS As SEEN Bf A
Sf1ANaER.-A correspondent of the Proyi-
dence Journal who was present at the last ex-
hibiton Of the High School in this city express
es his qualification in 20 emphatic manner
that we cannot forbear to quote him: -
Never before had we been so deeply impress
ed with the discrepancy in the mental deyel-
opment of the sexes in youth. "The Rhythm
Of the Seen and the Unseen,o by Miss Maria
b. johnson, was abstractly-not comparative
ly, merely-a- brilliant essay, remarkable for
its penetrating thought, delicacy of language
and perfect adaptation, indicating mind gift
ed with rare poetic sensibilities. Alchemy in
Nature and in Mind" by Miss Inez A. Blanch-
ard, mark Class Essay" betrayed marked
ability and advanced scholarship. We were,
therefore, prepared to zee her subsequently re-
ceive the first medal. This year the first col
ored young lady graduated: She told the
story Of. the "Broken Thread" quite we'll But
what appeared most novel to the stranger was
the introduction Of features which we are ac-
customed to associate with class meetings. Miss
Alice w. Reeves read the ,''Girls' Chronicles
giving at once history OF the. class and sun
dry interesting statistics, regarding net only
its physique, but its animus, as for example:
There are two only openly in favor of woman's
rights bat a few Others are looking in that di-
matrmony are one multiplied by forty-three,
total membership Notwithstanding this,
Just before concluding, she suddenly turned to
her classmates, who sat upon the stage, with
the solemn injunction: aOh, girls, beware of
the men! The "Boy's Prophecies" and the
@Girls Prophecies" /" the latter poem OF rare
wit and sprightliness brought crimson tinge
to the cheeks of many at their publishment,
literally to thousands. The Latin Salutatory,
as well as the Boys and Girls Valedictories,
were quite equal to the ordinary standard,
After some further account of the school and
of its prosperity the correspondent SAYS:
This prosperity Is due in part to the fact
that there is but one private school. land that
for young ladies. j Herein is found one secret
of the intelligence of the people here--they are
not bound by fashion to system which in the
vast majority Of instances tends to encourage
idleness and inefficiency. and to lower rather
than to elevate the standard ofeducaticn. We
cannot leave this topic until We have 4congrat.
tlated the board of instruction upon the prize
they have in the Assistant Principal, Mr.. Al
bro E. Chase. He Is gentleman peculiarly
adapted to such an institution, and his attain
ments are evidently Of high order Particu-
larry were We struck With his intimate acquaint-
ance with the mysteries Of chemistry suggest

ticularly with him who has covered the name
with honor at Brown.
