May.

The red winged merle from bending spray,
With graceful pinions poising,
Pours out liquid roundelay
In jnbilant rejoicing;
The cock grouse drums on sounding log,
The fox forsakrs the cover,
The woodcock pipes from fen and bog,
From upland leaves the plover.
The specklcd trout darts up the stream
Beneath the rustic bridges,
While flocks of pigeons glance and glcam
Der beach and maple ridges;
The golden robin trills his note
Among the netted shadows,
The bob-o-link, with mellow throat,
Makes musical the meadows.
The peeping frogs with silver bells,
In rythmcal ovation,
Ring out a chime of treble swels
In joyous graduation;
The low of kline is mingling with
The song of lark and sparrow,
And fallow fields are growing blithe
Beneath.the plOw and harrow.
The moon all night, serene and white,
On lake and stream is glowing,
While rippling fountains seek her light,
Through woodland valleys flowing;
And all night long low sweet song
Sweeps DER the misty hollow,
From marsh and fen, from hill and glen,
From brook and field and fallow.
1t is the time of pleasant thingq,
When love makes up his issues,
And hearts well up like hidden springs,
From rusted cells and tissues
A time to hear at break of day
A silver-chorused matin-
A liquid FLEETWOOD in crochet
On atmosphcricssatin
A time 10 feast the soul, the eyes,
TO watch each bird that passes,
And half surmise that birds are wise,
And men are only asses;
And then TO turn and raise the load
With weary shoulders bending,
And take the old well-beaten road
That leads-unto the ending.

one Of very high importance indeed. In

which appears TO have been the channel
through which the waters Of Blakcslee
Brook passed into the Ashtabula, before
the barrier was worn away by the attri-
ton of the two streams, and the waters
of this brook fell into the deeper channel
of Hubbard Run, near the southwest
foot of this mount; on the east by the
channel of the Ashtabula. Here is
concentration OF ravines and their high,
preciLltous banks, all of them once, very
maniiestly, channels Of so many streams
of water.
The Hubbard Run coming down
from the southwest receiving TIE Factory
brook, and several others a little above
the Blakeslce brook from the southeast
the ravine sometimes conveying a stream
of water passing the Chestnut Grove
Cemetery and the field containing the
fort, and being also the opening through
which the gulf road passes to East Ply
mouth and Sheffield, coming in from the
west; the section of the former channel
of Blakeslee brook forming the deep, dry
ravine on its south side, and the channel
of the Ashtabula on its east side, all con-
tribute to the formation OF the Sugar
Loaf. They all contribute also to the
wild. romantic and sublime scenery in
the midst of which it stands and forms
an interesting part.
On the top OF Sugar Loaf are visible
remains of ancient Notifications, which
are separated from the fort in Mr.. Jones'
field only by Hubbard Run and its steep
banks. On the south side of Hubbard

run into it, on some of which are foand
hard and smooth anc ent paths descend
| inc into the valley of the run and of the
Sugar Loaf, and forming communications
between the forts and the soft, dry and
rich table land adjoining the bauk and
extending some distance to the south of
it. This fertile tract may have been set
tied and cultivated by those ancient in-
habitants.
On the north side of this tract, con-
ticuous to the south bank of Hubbard
Run and on the east bank of Factory
brook, and on land cleared more than
forty years ago, by Mr. Thos. Whelpley,
there was discovered an ancient cemete-
ry, the graves in which were discernable,
like those on Mr.. Sweets land, by the
hollows, or sinks in the ground. From
the Cemetery down into the valley ofthe
Sugar Loaf and up to the north side OF
the valley, was the best of those roads
by which communications could be had
with the garrsons in the fort.
The cemetery, very probably, was the
burying place Of those who were slain III
and around the fortresscs, and Of those
who died in the vicinity.
Returning to the fort in the field to
complete our observations Of its location,
we find its eastern point projecting so
far into the valley of the Ashtabula, that
we can look down tho valley past the
east end of the western section of the
South Ridge, and have a good view of a
portion of the West Village, looking III
to the yards and doors of the Episcopal
Church and OF several houses near it.

Bow with the Hickory Shirt.

A fig for your upper ten boys
With their canes, cigars and eyeglasses,
Their dandifed airs and soft eyes,
Winking down on each girl that passes
They may guZZle clambake and champagne
And pride in their very high birth
But give me the lad that goes plain,
The boy with the hickory shirt.

AS the peach in the mid-autumn sun;
From the sole OF his feet TO his crown,
lie is hrimlul of irollc and fun.
Not afraid of hard work or Of cold,
He is fearless and rough without hurt;
His DONORS as pure as the gold
The boy with the hickory shirt.
To say his big heart cannot beat
Wi il kindness for parents and brothers,
Would picture his traits incomplete
If his sisters shared not with the others.
In fact, he's broth of a blade,
can't fathom how much he is worth;
But the poor girls fortune Is made
That gets Jim with the hickory shirt.

TROTTTNG PEDIGREE. The Western
Stock Journal, published at Sigourny,
Iowa, has an article on the breeding of
trotting horses. 1t says that "The
Messenger is the justly acknowledged
source fIom which uine-tenths of our best
trollers have more or less directly de-
scerded.
Speaking OF the evidence that very
small strain of the Messenger blood is
found in every tro,ter whose full pedi-
gree can be traced, the writer SAYS:
1t is a little singular that in all tho
crossing of trottimg and thorough blood
which has occurred, that we have not an
instance where thoroughbred tcith an
dmhontic pedigree that does not contain
Messenger blood, has when crossed upon
trotting stock produced a 2:30 trotter
1t is not an unreasonable estimate that
there have been at least twenty thor.
ough-breds not descended from Messen-
ger crossed upon trotting stock where
there has been one that possessed share
Of his blood. Then why, with this odds
so greatly against the Messenger blood,
does the result nf an Investigation speak
so strongly for it ii there is no potency
left in its dilated stream to cause the
mick"

A recent Paris writer asserts that ful-
lv one-half OF the inventive genius of the
entire world is contained in the United
States. Since 1880 over one hundred

How Men Eat.
A woman,s Til, at the Eoors.

How many men do You know who eat
well? You know people who mince,
who stuff, who bolt, cram, and gorge.
YoI know people who cat heartily and
decently. But you know very few per-
sons who carry through all the demands
and temptations of the table, the absolute
charm of perfect breeding. Men and
women. who are gentlemen and ladies
everywhere else, fail at the table. 1t is
the final and often fatal test Of gentle
manners. Have you ever in the dining
room of hotel of the first class, looked
at the gentlemen's (?) table, and, for
your own moral improvement, beheld
them eat ? DO it and afterwari, if you
can, believe in the superiority of man
Judged by the standard of appetite and
its qualification, it will be much easier
for you to believe in the superiority OF
your dog Towzle, who handles his bone
much more delicately, who swallows his
soup with softer lap, who does not pick
his teeth at his table, or blow his nose
over his plate. The longer you look the
more you are amused at the manners OF
these civilized gentlemen. How they
push, reach, aud clattcr ! How they
swoop and gulp, how they cram and
hurry away You don't wonder that at
least three-iourths of !hem have the dys
pepsia and patronize patent medicine
But you do wonder, if you are woman
that mt least three-tourths ct your sex
idealize these monsters of the table into
Apollos and Jupiters aud fall down and
worship them. You wonder if they
ever saw them eat. You wonder more
at yourself that you could ever have
cried ill your head ached and your nose
was red, over something he did or didn't
do, or, worse, because you loved so much
this dreadful animal who has just Jumped
up and rushed from the table, leaving
you to contemplate the havoc on his
plate, the debris he has left upon the
lable-cloth. You remember him with Il
supreme emotion of superiority for the
next twentY-four hours.

RECoRDING DEEDS.-It is fact not
generally known that the value and title
of a deed may depend entirely upon the
proof that it has been regularly record
ed, for in case Il person should sell the
same house, lot or farm to different par
ties, giving each deed for the same, the
deed first recorded within six months al
ter its beag given according - law,
would be the only one that would give
title TO the property, and the original
grantee, not having recorded his deed
would be elected. So also of a mortgage.
1t should be recorded Immediately after
it is given, as it does not become lien
upon property until it has been regularly

y paper called Oar Dumb AnimaLS,pro-
poses that we shall kill fish, instead of
allowing them to die by a slow process
after having been taken from their native
clement. The Dutch kill the fish by
making a slight longitudinal incision un-
der the tail, and the operation, which is
performed with very sharp instrument,
can be done SO soquickly that it is practlced
even in the largest fisheries, not except
ing those OF the herring. 1t is the Gus
tom in Holland to kill the fish as socn as
he is drawn from the water, while we let
him lie in an agony which produces tho
effect of sickness on tie animal econo-
nv. softcus the flesh, and gives to it the
principles of dissolution.

SIMPLICITY IN DREss.-Few seem to
be aware of the effect of simplicity in
the midst of elaborated and expensive
artiticc. Let a young woman, win no
hair but her own, and that SIMPLY dress
ed, enter room filled with those whose
heads are elaborately built up with
prousion of purchased locks, and see
who will be the most admired. 1t is
great advantage for woman IN these
days of artifice, to remain herself, and
thus be unlike every one else. A simple
dress, white or black, will produce the
greatest effect when surrounded by gor-
geous costumes. These serve, as 1t were,
as frames tor the former, and women are
often forced To confess that they have
draped themselves magniticen'ly, at an
immense expense, tor no other purpose
than to heighten by contrast the beauty
ola rival. In fact, they have been wear
ing a dress which is not very becoming
to others.-Harper's Bazaar q

The proposition to give the officers
and crew of the United States steamer
Kearsarge, liberal amount of prize
money for sinking the Alabama in June,
1864, is no more than just. The sum
amounts to something near 100000,
which is trife to what the exploit was
worth to us. So appropriate the money
and divide it-not as Jack Tar says, by
sitting it with a ladder, giving what
sticks to the sailors and what goes
through to the oflicers-but rewarding
every man who participated, according
to the actual value of his services. Taxa
ton is heavy enough, but we can dis
count this little bill and charge it up in
that long running account which is
headed "Great Britain 20 the United
States, Dr."

How many, even OF true and earnest
Christians, think little Of restraining the
temper. 1t is one Of the hardest things
tor Christian to accomplish, to conquer
a bad temper. And yet what God COM
mands us must be possible. Yes; if we
keep in mind that every feeling of irrita.
taiion, even, belongs to our old nature,
and if We seek to put on "tbe new man,
we shall be enabled to "put away all
evil" and unkindly and unholy tempers.
We DO not rightly consider-perhaps
none OF us do-what harm the indulgence
of 4 sharp, or hasty, or sullen, or pettish
temper does. o, if we only knew how
we are watched by those who have not
Our faith and hope; how ready they are
to triumph when we fall and how often
one who has almost resolved to be q
Christian has been turned back by the
Inconsistencies OF ChriStians,--should we
not be constant in daily, hourly prayer,
so as not to%lave the blood of our fellow
creatures thus on our heads And
should we not also say with David, "Let
not them that wait on Thee be ashamed
for my sake. . Lord :" Often, often DO
we Christians make their brethren weep
bitter tears of shame for the dishonor
done to their Masters cause.

EFFECTIVE CHRISTIANITY.--ln regard
to the Christianity which the world re-
quires to-day, Bishop Huntington very
truly remarks
"We want in you Christianity that is
Christian across counters, over dinner Ia
bles, behind the neighhor's back as in his
face. We want in you christianity
that we can find in the temperance of the
meal, in moderation of dress, in respect
for authority, in amiability at home, in
veracity and simplicity, in mixed socie-
ty. Rowland Hill used to say he would
give very little for the religion of man
whose very dog and cat were not the
better for his religion. We want fewer
goss ping, slandering, gluttinons, peovish,
bIgoied christians.
To make them effectual, all our public
religious measures, institutions, bcncvo-
lent agencies, need to be managed on
high-toned, scrupulous and unquestiona-
Bile sense Of honor, without evasion of
partnership, or over.much of the serpents
cunning. The hand that gives away the
Bible must be unspotted from the world
The money that sends the missionary to
the heathrn must be honestly earned. In
short, the two arms of the Church-jus-
tce and mercy-must he stretched ont,
working for man, strengthening the
brethren, or else your faith is vain, and
ye are yet in your sins"
