Top Dressing and Close Cuttins

On lands not too wet all will agree
with me that it is best to top dress. We
should give more attention to the COM
posting Of manures to be applied as a top
dressing of our moving fields, Let any
farmer each year make but five or ten
cords more of manure by hauling in
muck and leaves into his hog pens or
barn yards TO absorb the urine, aud APP
ply it as a top dressing soon after hay
ing, and the results will be wonderful -
The grass will begin to grow immedi-
ately after the first fall of rain. The
roots are uourishcd aud are better pro-
tected against frost in winter, and if fed
off in the fall it is not done So closely as
if no manure had been applied.
One reason why grass crops run out is
because they are fed too late, IN the fall.
or over fed. In the spring they should
not be fed at all. Cutting some kinds of
grass too low is often very Injurious
When the top of the root of herdsgrass is
taken up by moving Or feeding too close
by sheep, it begins to fail and the owner
is at loss to know why it has run out
/ so soon, little thinking that this close
shaving of the roots is the cause of his.

Farmers Horses in Autumn.

Farmers horses are often neglected in
the autnmn--perhapq we should be JUS
titled in saying abused. The heavy
work of the season is done, and, though
there are almost daily jobs for the horses
to perform, it is frequently considered
we'll enough to drop their grain, and let
them thrive as best they can on the pas
ture. Another serious complaint the
horse would make, had he the power, is
that proper and timely shelter is not fur
nished. There is scarcely a night after
the middle of September during which
the farmers work horses should not be-
sheltered in the stable. Preservation of
their health and economy in their keep
ing demand this. Suppose it is cold.
windy, frosty might've will not discuss
the absolute cruelty of exposing these
faithful servants of man to furious storm
after feeding awhile thoy become chilled
and resort to- running to get warm they
accomplish their object. bnt often at the
cost Of stumble and fall in the dark, a
cut or sprain which puts a bemish on
them for life. Then, being warm and
tired from running. they are inclined to
rest, and the chilly air operating on their
heated blood and relaxed sinews tends
to stiffen them, render them spirtless, aud
often induces severe cold. -Rwrg Ne,o

NO. s..

Leroy. Yes, all was plain enough then.
But it was done, and he would make the
best of it. And his thoughts reverting.
to the diamonds about the real worth Of
them there could be no mistake-he felt
comforted, and trying to hide his .chargrin,
said:
Thank you, Mrs Leroy, for your
candor and confidence. Lucille, my
dear, as yonr-as Mrs. Leroy has given
you her forgiveness, there is no immedi-
ate haste about our leaving Washington,

Oh !! but when the time for the recep-
ton came, Fred's. comforting though
was dashed away for ever.
Put on your diamonds, Lucille.
Surely this is fitting time to wear them..'
The young bride put forth one little
excuse and then another, until Fred. grew
anxious and said:
Where are your diamopdsi'

long to Harry Leroy's wife. She is in
mourning, and loaned them to me. Mann

Gone. gone-the last hope! And he,
to use his own words, was sold:' Not

Yes, the fortune-hu1ter had been SO
blinded by the brilliapcy Of borrowed
jewels, that he had let the girl who was
a jewel herself, and had jewels of her
own. slip from his hand, to be won by
another and more worthier man.
Fred's sister handed him, a few months
after, notice of Grace Charlton's mar
riage. After description of the recep-
ton, it stated that the bride had recent
ly come into possession of very large
legacy, which added to her previous very

Coon SENsE.--The great trouble among

Coon sENsE.--The great trouble among
American youth is tae lack of applica-
ton and thoroughness in what they un-
dertake. Anything that cannot be learn
ed with superficial study, is given the &c
by for something less tedious and irksome.
Study and hard labor are looked at from
wrong standpoint !; and as consequence,
the clerkship ranks are full of unemploy-
ed and halfstarved young men, AID the
professions are overlooking with mediocri-
ty, while good mechanics find plenty OF
work at living prices. The evil spoken
of is felt seriously. Those who work at a
trade do it in so loose and careless a
manner that they are not competent to dc
the work they promise TO d.. Among
the loudest declaimers for the rights Of
labor are men and women whe can claim
no rights that belong to labor we'll per-
formed.

TWO PICTURES OF THE RHINE.

TWO PICTURES OF THE RHINE
The angel Peace her wings divine
Waved Ger the Valley of the Rhine,
Tranced in golden calm.
Doves murmuredi in the greenwood shade,
A drowsy plant the river made,
And heavenlier tunes the herd-bells played
Than chime from Notre Dame.
The grain had caught golden CLINT
The grapes an opalescent tint
From Summers beams benign;
And Cheerful Labor, glancing round
| On field and vineyard, plenty-crowned,
In fancy saw the ripe sheaves bound,
The clusters raining wine.
Not Temples vale, when Earth was young
And Greece with shepherd music rung,
A lovelier scene could show.
The dream-light of tho Age of Gold
Seemed lingering soft on field and foli,
On cottage roof and turret bold,
On time worn crag and ruin old,
Green grove and fowery knowl.
God wha. change-'tis peace no more
War shakes, to-day, each Rhenish shore,
War blurs the Rhenish skies.
The vineyards shrivel in his breath,
And on the crimson plain beneath
Moved down by myriad-handed Death
A human harvest lies
Where are.the Rhineland's proud chateaux p
Raced, lest their walls to Prussia's foes
Should transient shelter lend.
Where are the herds for provant slain;
Tho Peasants In wars serted train;
The crops? The seed was sowed in vain
With CORY clay they blend.
O Braves of ..Fatherland" and Gaul
Know 70 for what, for whom, ye fall
This is Ambitions war
To serve the ends of Despot greed,
From which 'twere well the earth were freed
To help Crowned Wrong to Glory's need
Alas heroic fools, ye bleed
In Moloch's abbatoir.

Texas.

Emigrants are pouring into the State

600 Cinnamon and 800 convicts at work

5000 Cinnamon at work on the IA ilroads

Spring. Land in Texas that costs S.
an acre will produce on an averaged bale
of cotton to the acre. This cotton is sold at
S6G bale on the place. 1t can be haul
ed 500 miles in ox-teams, at two cents a

cattle feeding on the grass on the way,
thereby saving the expense of feed. When
the railroads are completed, Texas VII
be great country in itself. They now
raise enough cattle to feed this entire
country. The difficulty is in bring
ing them to market. Fine steers are
sold at ten cents pound, and now many
persons kill the steers for the hide and

droves are now en- route to Kansas and
Illinois, where it is proposed to Winter
them, and let them refattcn, and thus
introduce good stock of steers into
those States. When the railroads are
finished, Texas will send hundreds Of
