Toll bells! in the sweet autumn air,
Another noble life is done;
noble soul in realms more fair
crown OF victory hath won.
Brave Leo! Virginia weeps for him;
Her faithful son through good and i'll;
All Southern eyes with tears are dim,
For that great heart which now is still.
Dear mourning South {! oh, never more,
Such heart as his will feel thy woes;
Thy suferings and thy wrongs he bore,
Until in death he found repose.
A modern Bard; without fear,
Without rerroach from friend or foe,
He lived his life; above his bier
Let North and South their fouds foregJ.
And like one family bereft
Of brother or of well-loved son,
Mourn side by side, no malice left
Between them now, their loss is one.
Great Christian hero of our time,
In distant lands beyond the sea,
The nations feel his worth su blime,
And venerate his memory.
Toll bells in the sweet autumn air,
A good mans soul has gone to rest;
Bring flowers to make his grave more fair
In his own loved Virginia's breast.

REMOVING IRON MOLD FROM FABR1cs.--
A writer in the Cleveland News advises as
the best method Of removing stains of iron
mold from fabrics, that the marks be first
wet with yellow sulphide of ammonia, by
which it will be Immediately blackened-
After allowing it a minute or two to pens-
trate, the excess Of sulphide is to be washed
out and the black spot treated with cold
dilute chlorohydric acid. by which it is at
once removed. Finally, wash well with
water. This method is said to avoid tie
serious objection of weak ening and rosting
| the fibre.

CURE FOR STYEs.-Put teaspoonful Of
soda in small bag, pour on it Just enough
boiling water to moisten it, then put it on
the eye pretty warm. Keep it on all night,
andin the morning the stye will most likely be
gone; if not second application is sure to
remove it. We have also heard that the
white Of an egg, applied to the eyelid with
feather just before retiring, soon effects
cure. Styes arise from impurity of the
blood, and no permanent cure can be effect
ed by mere external application. The
blood should be kept in healthy condition
by the frequent use of some mild purgative
say dose Of rhubarb and magnesia.

SALT FOR CARRIAGES An intelligent
producer of cabbages states that he con-
siders salt necessary to the best develop
ment Of the cabbage, especially in places
far from the coast. He finds them more
crisp, of better flavor, and to keep bet
ter, when salt is used than without. A
few days after setting out the plants, and
when they are damp, either after rain
or when the dew is on, he takes small
dish Of fine salt, and walks along the
rows, sprinkling g little pinch of salt on
the centre leaves of each plant when
the leaves begin to grow, he repeats the
sailing, and when the centre leaves be-
gin to form the head, applies salt again,
scattering it over the leaves after this.
he looks them over occasionally, and if
he finds any plants that do not head
we'll, or appear diseased, sprinkles salt
over freely. This will save all such
plants. A.quart Of salt is sufficient for
five hundred plants in season, though
more can be used with safety. A little
too much salt on cabbages will not op.
crate like kerosene on chickens, to des-
troy vernin@kill everything it touch

GROWING THE ToMATo.-The Ger
mantown Telegraph says
One would suppose that at this late
day we knew pretty much all about cul.
tivating the tomato but it seems that
we do not, inasmuch as we see daily rec
concentrations as to the bes. mode of get
ting the most fruit from all quarters, ev-
en- from persons that one would suppose
had fight little higher than specu-
lating in tomato seed, and undertaking
fancy men as they are, to tell us old prac-
teal farmers how to raise them Some
people trail the vines over elaborate
trestle-work on frames, at no little ex-
pense others trellis them others stick
them with brush about the size of a lit
tie larger than that used for peas; others
simply throw brush down for them to
run over and others allow the vines to
creep over the ground with grass or
straw.
We have tried every mode here men
toned and we have found that whether
the plants are stuck, brushed, trellised,
frame-worked, or allowc2 to run unsup.
ported over the ground, the yield is
about the same. We prefer the sticking
process. 1t produced full as great
crop as any other mode without the trou.
Bile and expense, and looking more pict-
uresque and not SO artificial as the trel-
Uses and frames and if the brush is
firmly inserted in the ground, it admits
of passing between the rows to pick the
fruit.
When the vines are allowed to run
over the ground unsupported, though
much of the ground may be mulched,
the flavor of the tomato is more or less
extracted by the natural attraction of
the soil, by which the fruit is rendered
almost worthless, besides the vines are
all IN mass, and to get at the fruit is
lnconvenient to the picker and injurious
to the crop.
