A most singular will has just been.
opened in Venice. A rich old bachelor
has bequethei his entire fortune to a
distant relative. a very pretty young lady
nineteen years of age, AID not left q

far there is nothing singular about it.
But it happened that the testator had
been endowed by nature with fearful
hump on his back and clump foot.
Now he puts the condition that she must

sane man would put such condition.

Bishop Kemper.
IN NEMORIAM
BY BISHOP HENRY w. LEE.

The good old man OF God has gone,
Gone gently TO his rest,
Fen as the low desc lending sun
Sinks calmly IN the west.
The dear old man now sleeps in death,
He sleeps beneath the sod;
But he yet most truly lives.
He lives above with God.
We gave to earth his precious form,
And laid him softly down;
But he'll come forth, in Gods own time,
To wepr the sanity crown.
In Paradise he now doth rest,
He rests from labors rare; a
From eY'ry sin and sorrow free,
And free from ev'ry care.
The Church doth mourn a Father dear,
A Father dear in God;
But she can still rejoice for him,
While feeling yetthe rod.
He did the mitre meekly wear,
And ruld with gentle sway;
Nor did he ewerve from duty's path,
But onward kept his way
In Journeys oft. like Paul of old,
His pilgrim life was spent;
He liv'd and labor'd in his work
AS one divinely sent.
o he did run cody race,
And prove to duty true; t fsa
And for his good example here
Our thanks are justly due.
The good old man indeed has gone,
We laid him to his rest;
We heard the sound Of falling dust
On nls encoffin'd breast.
But We another sound shall hear
From Gods eternal throne;
And this dear saint shall then arise,
AS JESUS claims his own.

POETRY.
From the Fond du Lac Commonwealth.
In Memoriam.
BY MISS ALLIE ARNoLD

BY MISS ALLIE ARNoLD.
When ere the quiet sleep of death
Steals pulseless DER beating heart,
Some household mourns the parting BREATH
And tribute tears unbidden start.
Few lives there are. whose waning flame
Would leave no shadow ofregret,
Beneath the lOwl1est sculptured name
some star of happiness has set.
But when, through Wars relentless fate,
In noble strife our heroes fell,
A nations heart grew desolate
With tones of muffled drum and bell.
In ry of the manly trust
So bravely won on Southern SOIL
In hottest reverence for their dust
Who persisted in the strife and toll.
We come to day. with measured tread,
With time worn flag and bayonet.
To strew beside the loved and dead,
The myrtle and the violet.
We come beneath the hammered stars
They proudly bore, by field and flood,
Solled-ouly WITH the battle scars,
Stained-but with sacrifcial blood.
And all who share the victory
Won in the battle heat by them,
Joins silver stream and murm'ring sea
To chant the soldiers requiem.
Sweet be the melodies we breathe,
Awake the strains they loved of old;
Let gentle hands the garlands wreathe
Above the cons ecrated mold.
Place here. upon each hallowed shrine,
sweet tributes of the vernal Spring,
Let snowy flower and clust'ring vine
Upon the cleaning marble cling.
DER Youthful forms. with fearful prayer,
Ynothprsa ha md the wreath shall
And many slumberer's couch shall bear
The offerings OF the fatherless.
Here widowed hands shall fondly Irvine
Memorials of the parting year,
And in the floral cross shall shine
The chrism Of her falling tear.
Yet few among the fallen sleep
In sweet Rienzi's tempted shade,
BY tangle wood and mountain steep
Their thOuaGnd nameless graves are MADE.
Made when the battle day was done,
Beneath the feet of hnrrying hosts,
Made, where the booming naval gun
Tolled out their dirge along the coasts,
For them, no thoughtful hand, to day
The tropic flower has gently strewn,
We, with the heart alone, can pay
Our tribute to the brave Unknown.
But ah the eye that never sleeps,
Their distant resting place has found,
And now the shimmering sunlight sleeps
In beauty on the lowly mound.
Unknown to us they slumber on.
Unknown beneath the sea and sod,
But in the resurrection dawn,
Known in the likeness of their God.
Since theirs shall be the perfect rest,
Sing hopefully their requiem.
Bring tributes hottest, purest, best,
Aud leave them in mem oriam.

SUGGESTIONS TO ADVERTISERS

Geo P Rowelf u Co, of New York, do
the largest advertising business Of any
firm IN America. From the July number
OF their -Adcert5ser'S Gazette, we take the
following very sensible suggestions to
advertisers
Daily papers contain more advertising
matter than weeklies, while in the latter,
from the form of their pages, an adver-
tisement is more likely to be seen
than in It monthly, where they are gener-
ally grouped into pages by themselves,
and not seen unless the reader intentional.
| ly examines them
| If it is desirable to reach the inhabi-
tants of particular State, the local or So
called country papers of that State must
be used. Thus very little circulation is
wasted, nine-tenihs of all the copies
! printed being taken by subscribers within
u radius of a few miles Of the office of
publication
TO reach farmers, use the agricultural
and local country papers Almost every
Intelligent farmer takes the paper print
ed IN his county town To reach young
people and the ladies, the literary or
story papers are the best.
VALUE or CIRCULATION.
As rule, newspaper is valuable 60
an advertiser in exact proportion to it's
| circulation; but this rule is modified in
! several ways. For instance paper with
bnt little advertising gives that little
greater prominence a. we'll printed paper
naturally gives greater prominence to its
contents than one badly printed The
INFLUENCE OF a paper has something to

medium, and paper which is purchased
because it is wanted is much more likely
! to benefit an advertiser than one that is
given away this is the reason why ex-
perlcnced advertisers look with SO title
favor upon mere advertising sheets in

! HOW LARGE TO MAKE AN ADVERTISEMENT.
IN advertisement is OF value not in
| PREPARATION to It's lie, but in accordance
with It's PROMINENCE AND THE COMPLETE
NESS WITH WHICH II EXPRESSES AN IDEA
The mystery of writing advertisements
CONSISTS mainly in saying in Il few plain
words exactly what it is desired to say ;

HOW TO USE THEM.

Always have barrow with platform
on it devoted to the transportation OF
these caps, and when they are taken off
see that they are placed on this platform
evenly and without any tangte of the
cords.
Make the cocks thimble SHAPED, and
when they are ready to be capped, let a
man or boy seize the handles of the bar
row, rur the wheel against the cock, while
two men, one on each side OF the vehicle
lifting the upper cap carry it forward
over the cock, pin it down in a iiffy, fol-
lowing at once the barrow. boy to the next,
where the same operation is repeated.
Three men will cover about four cocks
minute, if the distance is not above the
average. e
When taken off the next dav, they
should be thoroughly dried, and then
laid carefully on the barrow preparatory
to ready use, should any exigency occur

HAY-CAPS.
JDED IN OUR NEXT.

Grass in process of curing is, injured
more or less by an exposure to rain or
even dew, and in any latitude, and during
almost any season, it is liableto consider
able loss from the former, and always
some loss from the latter. Any protec
ton, therefore, that should combine
cheapncss with durability, and should
not involve greater loss of time in apply
ing than it would save when applied,
is certainly an advantage to the hay
grower, and mercy to he rattle for
which he provides
r. Hay are exactly fitted to these
needs They are cheap They are dur
able. They are quickly applied, and
when placed on the top of a cock weigh
ing seyenty-five pounds, if it is TO stand
in the field through a three days rain, it
will more than pay for itself in protect
ing the mass from the water, and thus he
hay from damage, if not absolute loss.
HOW TO MAKE THEM. sa
They should be made five feet square
four will aDswer, but five is better-and
they need be no heavier or thicker than
common brown sheeting which is The
most suitable material for them. ~
The best mode of manufacture is to
buy yard-wide goods, and then cutting a
piece into two strips Sew it to the edge
Of the whole piece, making yard and a
half wide. Then cut into sections of the
same length as widtl, and you have a
piece OF cloth four and a half feet square.
| Now turn the corners back four inches,
and stitch them around the edge, and in
tine centre Of this douPle cloth, work an
eyelet, into which should be tied small
rope, say two feet long. 70 these cords
attach pins about fifteen inches long.
They should be made of white-oak and
sharp pointed, and the cord is best fast
ened to them by boring a hole diagonal
ly through the head OF the pin, letting it
come out on the side two inches below
the top, and then, after thrusting the cord
downward through this aperture, knot it
so it cannot be drawn out, and the work
is done.
