ton.

The Salisbury (Md.) Eastern Shoreman
comments on this crowning outrage as
follows: The deed is done The long
looked for proclamation, declaring the
Fifteenth Amendment legally ratified, was
promulgated TO the country and the world
on Wednesday last, and now another foul
blot besmears our tattered and stained
Constitution Our opinion of this parti-
san monstrosity has already been freely
and frankly given, and we do not believe
there is an honest man in this land who
does not in his heart and eonscience-as
we do-condemn the political villainy in
which it was conceived, the criminal and
indecent means resorted to for its preten-
ded ratification, and the reckless usurpa-
ton that attempts its enforcement We
care not to what party a man may be-
long, or what may have been his political
affiliations in the past, if he has one spark
of real patriotism in his heart, or moral
sentiment remaining in his soul, he cannot
endorse the gross, open and shameful vio-
lations of the Constitution perpetrated in
compelling States, at the point of the bay
onet, to ratify this helnous measure.

Turkey Raising.

With many farmers, the raising, of tur
keys is precarious business, owing to the
tenderness of the young during the first
month, or two months after they arc
hatched. Success in the management
will depend much on the situation of a
farm. a warm southern exposure for the
farm buildings, and ample grounds for the
young to exercise, without strolling too
much in the wet grass, and warm places
to retreat into in cold and wet stormy
weather, ore the chief requisites to succeed
in raising flock of turkeys. They will
subsist on any of the different kinds of
gram raised on the farm; it is only the
manner of feeding which is important.
They require to be fed little and often, and
If the women folks will take an interest,
there will seldom be a failnre. Vermiu
should be carefully guarded against; by
coming in contact with other poultry and
having access TO their houses, the young
turkeys may become infested with Ice,
which will be a great drawback 10 their
growth, and perhaps cause a failure to
raise brood. For five years past l have
discontinued keeping turkeys, finding them
not very profitable when there were no
| cOnveniences to restrain them from COM
mitting depredations on the crops. BI
since Ihave no turkeys on the farm it has
been sadly overrun with grasshoppers, and
for two years past they have totally des-
royed my turnip and ruta baga crops.
will try raising turkeys again, to see if it
will rid me of the grasshoppers. Fifty
Turkeys roaming in the fields, in a weeks
time will destroy bushels of these pestifer-
Gus insects. If wild turkeys can be OBJ.
tained and domesticated to cross with the
common stock, it would improve the size
and make them more robust to bear the
rain and wet grass, and therefore more
easily raised. By crossing the breed with
wild turkeys, the progeny will be more of
hunters of flies, bugs and other insects, and
less inclined after grain, and of course
more profitable. 1 saw in Muffin County
domeslicated wild turkey gobbler, a
beautiful fowl, his colour brown and snuff,
with plumage having lustre and brill
fancy almost equal to the peacock. The
wild turkey gobblers do not come TO ma
turity till they are about two years old;
the one in question was a large noble bird,
twelve months old, but had not common
ced to gobble. Fifty of such gobblers as l
raised years ago, TO take to market the
coming Christmas, would bring hand
some pile. 1 have had on my premises
turkeys weighing as much as forty pounds.
But turkey raising is attended with much
trouble and care, and If not properly man
aged will be losing concern, and were 1t
not that | am so sadly harassed with
grassho oppers, nary turkey should gobble
on my farm Cor. JOURSAL OF THE

WHOM FIRST WE LOVE.
BY JULIA WARD HOWE

BY JULIA WARD HOWE.
Whom first we love, you know, we seldom wed
Time rules us all. And life, indeed, is not
The thing we planned it out hope was dead;
And then we women cannot choose our lot.
Much must be borne which it is hard to bear,
Much given away winch iU 'twere sweet to keep.
God help rs all who need, indeed, His care;
And yet know the Shepherd loves His sheep.
NV little boy begins to habble now
Upon my knee his earliest infant prayer;
He has his fathers eager eyes, l know,
And they say, too, his mothers sunny hair. ..-
But when he sleeps and smiles upen my knee,
-And can feel his light breath come and go,
think of one-Heavcn help aRd pity mel
Who loved me- and whom loved, long ago.
Who might have been-ah, what, dare not think
We are all changed. God judges for us best.
God help us do our duty, and not shrink,
And trust in Heaven for the rest
But blame US women not, if some appear
Too cold AT times, and some too gay and light
Some griefs gnaw deep, some woes are hard TO beal
Who knows the past? And who can judge us righ
All, were we judged by what we might have been
and not by what we are-too apt 10 fall
My little child-he sleeps and smiles between
These thoughts and me. In Heaven shal
know all.

Where are the eyes, like starbeams, bathing
My soul in light?
Closed TO my weary, longing vision,
In Deaths chill night.
Where are the hands that erst clasped mine
With warm glad thrill?
Over the pulseless heart they lie,
Folded and still.
Where is the voice, whose tones soft stealing
My hearts depths stirred?
It numbers sweet, in climes celestial,
It's music heard.
Where are the feet, that nevermore
Keep step with me!

Far O'erTime's sea.

Did cheer and bless
Pale, mute and cold-no more returning
