The "Fat Contributor" Girls. of the Cncin-
natl Times, has the following in regard to an
old conductor promoted to train Dispatcher
"Habit was very strong with the ex-conduc-
tor. As he sat in the Office he would start
every time be heard a bell ring and yell, "All
aboard" Then he would 60 about the office
at intervals and try to collect fare of his as
sistants. We dropped in casually one alter
noon, and Billy wanted to know If we had a
pass. He couldn't get accustomed to his new
position at all. He pinned to be again on the
road. One day he begged the bows to put him
through a collision, which they did to his en-
tire qualification. They tore bis clothes near.
" of, blackened his eyes, broke kerosene
lamp over his head and piled a red-hot stove
on top of him. Billy was in an ecstacy of de-
light, and declared he hadn't enjoyed himself
SO much since he had bile"

After the Shadows


sThe tempest may dash on the vale and hill,
Rat the sunshine will smile behind it.
The cayern'd rock hide the mountain rill,
Yet a gleam from above will lind it.
And GIadness I'll sleep on Griei's pale breast,
To soften the voice of her waiing.
Over the darkness sweet Hope will rest
And after the shadows the morning.!
Life m ay grow dark'n'd, tho love has thrown
The strength OF its light around it;
TIL, longer and deeper the shadows Crowd
Hide the halo OF bliss that crowned it,
Clouds may float down on our valleys Vi po-NN'
AMI crush our meek flowers with Scoring
Yet never this song in our spirits shaii eessc'
After the shadows, the morning.
Never 40 closely does pain fold her wings,
But the white robe ofsympathy's near it;
And each tear that the dark hand OF suffering
wrings,
Brings the touch OF a blessing to cheer 1t.
As fades the dim light at the coming Of day,
whan 1t weaves its bright robe Of adorripR-
So foateth pale grief from our lite patn away,
And after the shadows, the morning.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
F"r The C.el Viii.
What Kinds Of Apples Succeed best In Md.

At this season of the year when winter
winds are bowling about our dwellings it
is a very good time for farmers to COM
different kinds of farm products and there
is no one perhaps where there is more room
or need for improvement as in the apple
crop.
We all know what a convenient thing it
is to have plenty of nice apples to eat and
hand our friends when they stop to see lis
yet but few have given this crop any par
ticular attention. The most of the apples
that are now being introduced had their
origin in New York or New England,
where the improvement of this fruit has
claimed more attention than in the South
ern States.
The consequence is that as our old win
ter apples have died out they have been
replaced with these Northern varieties that,
owing to our longer season, ripen long
before winter sets in and have to be used or
sold, to save them, long before Christmas
Our Baldwin, Roxbury Russell, King of
Tompkins, r. J. Gre ming, and some
others are of this class and can seldom be
kept long into the winter. Yet we find
them in market from New York plump and
sound as late as May. Ourapples are much
larger and better though, while they last.
What we now want is more reliable kinds
native of this State or further south, that
will hang on our trees until severe frosts
come, when they may be barreled and put
in the cellar with some certainty of their
keeping. The past season was an unusu-
ally long one and the general complaint is
that apples keep so poorly.
Will those who have promising kinds
of native apples that bear well and answer
the above description, let the fact be known
through your columns that they mny be
further tested, and oblige many lovers of
good apples. @. Il.
