Barbara's eyes flashed, and she toy

How defiant the little witch looked, as
she stood under the old cherry tree,
the RAYS of the setting sun shining on
her glossy black hair, and giving a ro-

"Yes-choose between us, Barbara" "
The voice of young farmer Willis
was firm, but there was q drawn, pained

Will: she did not love Mr.. Stewart.
Should she be obedient to her To-

rather than a wish. No, never! So
Barbara drew her little form up to its
fullest hight, and slowly took off :he

And she dropped the ring into the

"Onc word, Barbnra"-as that lady

How long Barbara stood under the
cherry tree, she could not tell. She

THE FAMILY CIRCLE.
OUR CHILDH HOOD.
by GEORGE d. PRENTICE.

'Tis sad, yet sweet, to listen
TO the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood knew so well;
To gaze ont on the even.
And the boundless fields of air.
And feel again our boyhood's wish
To roam like angels there!
There are many dreams Of gladness
That cling around the past
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come thronging fast;
The forms we loved SO dearly
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidens
Who seemed so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such world as this;
Whose dark, soft eyes, seemed swimming
In sea Ofliquld light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
Der brows SO sunny bright.
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring time of the year
Like the changeful CLEANS of April,
They followed every tear!
They have passed--likc hopes-away,
And their lovelness has fled
Oh. many heart is mourning
That they are 18th the dead
Like the brightest buds ofSummer,
They have fallen with the stem;
Yet, oh. it is a lovely death
To fade from earth like them!
And yet the thought was saddeninS
To muse on such as they,
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away!
That the fair ones whom we love
Grow to each loving breast
Like the tendril the clinging vine,
, Then perish where they rest.
And we can but think Of these,
In the soft and gentle Spring,
When trees are waving o'erus,
And the flowers are blossoming;
And we know Winters coming
With his cold and stormy sky,
And the glorious beauty round us
Is budding but to die!

Grape Growers Maxims.

1. Prepare the ground in the fall, plant
in spring
Q. Give the vine plenty of manure, old
and well decomposed, for fresh manure
excites growth, but it does not mature it.
3, Luxuriant growth does not always
insure fruit.
A. Dig deep, but plant shallow.
8. Young vines produce beautiful fruit,
but old vines produce the richest.
8. Prune in autumn to insure growth,
but in the spring to promote fruitfulness.
z. Plant your vines before you put trel-
lises
8. Vines, like soldiers, should have good
arms.
Q. Prune spurs to one well developed
bud, for the nearer the old wood the high
er favored the fruit.
10. Those who prune long must soon
climb,
II. Vine leaves love the sun, the fruit
the shade.
IL Every leaf has bud at its base, and
either bunch Of fruit or tendril op-
posite to it,
Is. A tendril is an sbortive fruit bunch
"a bunch of fruit a productive tendril.
IA. A bunch of grapes without 8
healthy leaf opposite, is like ship at sea
without rudder-It can't come to port.
Is. Laterals are like politicians if not
checked they are the worst of thieves.
16. Good grapes are like gold, no one
has enough.
II. The earliest grape will keep the
longest, for that which is fully mstured is
easily preserved.
18. Grape eaters are long livers.
10. Hybrids are not always high bred.
30. He who buys the new and untried
variety should rmember that the. seller's
maxim is to let the buyer look out for
himself-A. 8. Fuller.

Curing Hay in the Cock.

WE are not only in the habit of cutting
our grass too late, but we give it too much
sun, in our haste to finish the job in one
day. This course may save labor, but it
loses nourishment 1t is not very much
more laborious TO cure hay in the cock.
Cut the grass after the dew is of, and let
it lie until the middle of the afternoon,
and then bunch it in the usual way. Let
it remain in this condition until the third
day. Then shake up the cocks . little
with fork, bringing the bottom to the
top, and let it remain until the next day.
If it storms the hay will not harm much
to lie over. If it is good weather, give it
an hour or two of sun, and put in the
barn. This course saves much of the
labor of tedding and turning. There is
but one raking, and the quality of the hay
is very much better than the sun-dried
and hastily-cured article. All the sweet
ness and aroma of the grass are retained
and the cattle eat it with higher relish,
and thrive better upon it. If one is fur
nished with hay caps there is very little
risk in curing hay in this way. The
capped cocks might stay in the field a
week without harm. A farmer may use
his hay-tedder quite too much for the
good of his fodder.-AmerieG an AgrieUl-

Profit Of Farming.

No small experience and some observa-
tion convinces me that, circumstances be-
ing equal, farming will furnish as ample a
compensation for labor, as ample divi-
dend upon capital invested, as the COM
mon trades which men engage in, and
even the ordinary pursuits of mercantile
and commercial life. OF course, except
all extraordinary cases of good fortune,
and all matter Of gambling and specula-
tion.
The returns of most crops strike one
sometimes with astonishment, and would,
If taken as a test, lead to the most delu-
sive speculations A grain OF seed some
times returns one hundred fold and this
being sown second year would, perhaps,
give ten thousand fold, and 50 ON in geo.
metrical ratio. Seventy bushels of pota-
toes planted will yield fourteen hundred,
or twenty for one; a bushel of wheat
sown will yield thirty bushels, or thirty
for onej a peck Of corn planted will yield
sixty bushels, or two hundred and forty
for one; a pound of carrot, beet or ruta
baga seed will produce six to nine hun
dred bushels. worth one hundred dollars.
The proceeds in these cases seem to be
enormous, yet they are constantly real
lied, and that too in many cases at COM
parauVely small expense. But no conf.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

A GREAT many persons in eating cher
ries swallow the stones, which is very
dangerous practice, and sometimes causes
sudden death. ~
WHEAT as well as corn, and, no doubt,
plants in general, do best in the rich,
triable, healthful, natural surface soil,
which should never be buried beneath a
sour, clayey subsoil, or loan that will
crust and bake; or even adulterated by ad-
mixture with them.
PLANE irons for soft wood should be
ground to bevel of about As degrees
for hickory or oak not over 30, for chisels,
all except heavy mOrtising, so degrees is
BEST for turning chisels about 45. Tools
for working iron or steel are beVeled from
90 to go degrees.
BURNT cork is one of the simplest
and most efficacious of dentifrices. When
the cork Is slightly charred, rub it against
the teeth; by which means you have a
pleasant toothbrush, combined with the
finest carboniferous tooth-pOWder, at no
expense whatever. To'traVelers and De-
deslrians on short journeys this hint will
be valuable. 4-
To TAKE MnDEw OUT OF LINEN.-Wet
the linen which contains the mildew with

then scrape some fine chalk to powder,
and rub it well into the linen; lay it out
on the grass in the sunshine, watching to
keep it damp with soft water. Repeat
the process the next day, and in few
hours the mildew will entirely disappear

who treats his horses or cattle badly; they
will quiver at his approach, turn from
him or kick at him. Seldom do such
