years ago, when farmer friend camo in and

times are SO hard can't pay for it,
" Is that so, friend Jones I'm very sorry
to hear that YOU are so poor; and IT, you are
really 50 hard run, | will give you my paper"
ooh, mol can't take it as a gih."
"Well then, let's see how we can fix it.
You raise chickens, believer
"Yes, few; but they dom bring anything
hardly
Don't they? Neither does my paper cost
anything hardly. Now, have proposition
to make to you: will continue your paper,
and when you 60 home You may. select from
your lot one hen aud csllhe mine. Take good
care Of her and bring ne the proceeds, whcth-
or in eggs or chickens, and We viii call it

POETRY
WHILE BABY SLEEPS.

The violet eyes lie shaded deep
Beneath the white IDS closing;
The cheeks flushed faint with rosy'sleep,
The dimpled hands reposing-
The sweet red lips held half apart
Smiles coming and retreating;
God bless and Keep the little heart
Within the white breast beating,
. .u As baby sleeps. ~
The tiny, restless, busy feet ~ @
Lie still in cradle nestltng-
The clinging arm, full, white and sweet,
Uron the pillow nesting;
Close out the burst Of noise and glare
Harsh sound and harsher seeming
And let the soft, sweet summer air
Ficat gently through his dreaming,
As baby sleeps.
And life and time 90 hurrying on,
Their varied meshes weaving;
And Heaven is lost, and Heaven is won,
And Joy gives place to grieving;
The summer comes, the summer hies,
And brings the autdmh's glory
While still my darling's violet eyes
Repeat the same old story
That baby sleeps
| sit and muse, while yet apace
The future years are winging,
And think what gifts of love and grace
Their hidden hands are bringing;
What paths the little feet may tread
What works the hands be moulding
What crown awaits my darling's head;
When heart and soul unfolding,
No longer sleep.
All hope has many fairy theme,
From her sweet lips unfolding
And life has many a golden dream,
That some fond heart is holding
But none so glad as those that rise,
In light and beauty blending,
To shine before a mothers eyes,
Above the cradle bending,
While baby sleeps.

Early Potatoes.


Those who desire to assure, under favorable
circumstances, good crop Of early potatoes
be ready to plant the sets as soon as the frost
is out Of the ground, and the land is in fl
condition for the plough. 4 good sod sprin-
klcd with manure and ploughad well under is
an excellent preparation for the cultivation Of
the potato. Where a sod is not available
dressing Of wood ashes will be found q great
advantage. Plough the soil very deep, make
it as light as possible by frequent narrowing,
taking care in sod land not to disturb the sod.
Run the furrow as deep as admissible, laying
them of about two feet and halfa apart, stre'y
in the furrows thus opened, liberal quantity
Of long manure, which would be improved BY
also dusting it with wood ashes. The sets
should be cut large aud from large aud wcl
grown potatoes. Spread them for a short time
on the barn floor to dry, but not too long or
they viii shrivel-or else dust them wita plas-
ter Of Paris, and drop them on the manure
along the drill six inches apart, and then coget
with two bouts Of the plow. When The plants
come up dust them with mixture composed
Of four bushels Of wood ashes, one bushel Of
Stacked lime, one bushe Of salt, and one bush
el Of plaster--repcatlng The same process after
each boeing. For the after cultivation keep
the vines earthed up well, destroy all weeds,
and loosen the soil between the rows with the
shovel plough and the cultiyator.-1iarylaRd

Many thousands Of dollars arc lost annually,
in consequence Of planting poor seed. Acres
Of old worthless carrot, beet, onion, aud SINH
lar seeds are sown every year. Which might be
avoided if every one who is growing such
crops would take the trouble Of testing few
Of the seeds previous TO sowing. The loss OF
preparing the ground aud sowing Is Usually
far more than the COS; Of the seeds, and gen
erally when their wortblessncss Is discovered
the season is too far advanced TO remedy the
evil.

in pots or boxes, and determine what proper
