Under the hay-stack little Boy Blue
Sleeps with his head on his arm,I
While voices of men and voices of maids
Are calling him over the farm.
sheep in the meadows are running wild.
Where poisonous heritage grows.
Leaving white tufts of downy fleece
On the thorns of the sweet wild-rose.
Out in the fields where the silken corn
Its plumed head mods and bows,
Where golden pumpkins ripen below,
Trample the white faced cows,
But no loud blast on the shining horn
Calls back the straying sheep,
And the cows may wander in hay OF corn,
While their keeper lies asleep.
His roguish eyes are tightly shut,
His dimples are all at rest;
The chubby hand, tucked under leae,
BY one rosy cheek is pressed
Waken him No. Let DOVE tt,rs
And gather the truant shesr.
Open the barnyard and driv the COWS,
But let the little boy sleer.
For year after year we can shear the fleece,
And corn can always be sown,
But the sleep that visits little Roy Blue
Will not come when the years have flown

OUR DAIRY INTEREsTs.-The census
OF 1860 returned S,72S,S62 cows; to esti-
mate the present number at 100000
will then be not at all extravagant. OF
these about 100000 are devoted to the
making of butter. The entire annual
butter product is about 575,000,000
pounds, or 10 pounds to each COW. For
the production of 300,000,0O0 pounds of
cheese about 100000 cows are devoted,
or 200 pounds to each cow. Neither of
these aggregates indicate a very high pro-
duction. Science and economy ought at
least to double these aggregates from the
above number of cows. About 100000
COWS are used exclusively for the produc.
tion of milk, of which about 100000
gallons are consumed in towns and cities,
and about 100000 gallons by the rural
population. Besides the above there are
about 100000 cows employed simply in
raising stock. The value of these pro-
ducts are as follows, 575.000,0O0 pounds
of butter, at % cents, $125,000,000; 300,-
100000 pounds of cheese, at Is cents,
S45, 100000; 100000 gallons of milk,
about $10,000,000. Total, $180,000,0O0.

was re-enstalled in position two weeks
ago at the urgent request of his mother.
Judge Leon of Sullivan county and
family were on the train, but all escaped
unframed.
The Thermometer was below zero all
night, rendering the efforts of the citizens
to recover the bodies very difficult and
hazardous, and several were badly frost

Pending the recent declaration of martial

lima, Thomas GrOsVenor, a citizen of note,
fell victim to the bayonet. Thereupon
Gov. Palmer, with commendable pluck,
wrote letter to the Attorney General OF
the State, directing him to present the
facts in regard to the killing to the Grand
Jury Of Cook county. 1t may be ques-
toned whether the Governors indignation
is one whit stirred by what IS going on in
