LORD BRoUGHAM's LAST VISIT TO THE
House OF CoMMoNs.-Never but once did Lord
Brougham enter the house of commons after he
was raised to the peerage. 1t was not many
years before he died. He went leaning on the
arm of friend, well-known officer of the
house of lords, whom the aged peer had asked
to escort him. There was a curiosity in the old
athlete to view the arena where he had so often
struggled with and thrown his adyersaries
Within the door leading from the upper house,
Lord Brou9ham gaZed on the stirring scene for
minute or two, and then the tears welled up
to his eyes, and he murmured TO his friend with
deep emotion, "Take me awayl take me awayl
There is not a face here that / can recognized
And he moved slowly along the passage back
TO the house of lords, murmuring. as he went,
"Dead deadl All gone! all gomez The great
champion of that arena soon went the way that
those who had wresIled with him had already
passed. The promise OF his bright boyhood
was amply kept in his maturer years, and the
memories of both will long be dear to all who
reverence work above rank, and who hold that
the aristOcracy of intellect is superior to any
degree in the peeraee,-Temple Bar.
-Boyd's "reminiscences of Fifty Years con-
tains the following anecdote, the scene of which
was in the diocese of Lincoln:-
"A clergyman, character in his way, and q
faVorite with his bishop and every one else, had
parish IN an extremely funny district. The
bishop, taking the position into consideration.
authorized the incumbent to perform duty only
every alternate Sunday during the winter But
Il complaint having reached his lortlship that
the reverend gentleman had not had the doors of
his church open for the previous six weeks. he
was Obliged to administer sharp letter of re
buke To this the parson replied my Lord
have had the honor to receive your lordshin's
letter, and all l have, in explanation 10 yopr
Iordsiip, TO say is, that the devil himself cannot
get at my parishioners during the winter, and
promise your lordship TO be before him in the
spring."
There Is also a curious example of taking
time by the forelock:"-
"My grandmother once awoke my grandfath-
or in the the middle of the night, and told him
she much feared their son Willie had become
deranged as she had been listening to him for
some time speaking loudly and rapidly to him
self. Her husband listened, came to the same
conclusion and they forthwith hurried into
their boys bedroom to know what was the mat
ter. Nillie's explanation was, that as they were
going TO the seaside next day, he wished to save
time and was saying his prayers over and over
70 last him during the holidays"

"Never! 1never wrote you such let
ter" said the widow. Charley began to
see that an explanation was coming, at
which third party would be de trop,
and took his departure. If he did, then,
have strange presentimont of what
might happen as q result of that expla-
nation, at some future day, he was not at
all prepared for what did occur, that very
night.
When he and Rose moved away from

husband and wife, his father and Mrs.
Carter stood up before him, and the GER
emony was repeated for their benefit !!
They had decided in that brief space of
time, that that was the best reparation
possible for the mistake of almost life
time.

A Death-Bed Divorce.
From the Henry County, (Ind.) Republican.


Ell Davis, of Lewisville, died on We'd
nesday, July 10, 1871. he had been for
two years laboring under the effects of
paralysis. For one year he had been un-
able to walk except by the aid of others,
and for more than six months had been to
all appearances devoid of reason or any
knowledge of persons or things. On July
1S. about six o'clock, p. M, and fifteen
hours before his final exit, and when he
was to all intents and purposes, except the
mere fact OF breathing, as dead as poor
old Marley, he was divorced by Judge
Vests court from his second wife. The
suit for divorce was brought by his
guardian at the instance OF two sons
by former wife, Harvey Davis, boot and
shoe dealer, of Indianapolis, and Clinton
Davis, of the same place. The deceased
knew nothing more of the existence of the
suit than a man in the moon. The real
cause of it was the fact that the deceased
was the owner of property worth not less
than 100000, in which this second wife
if undivorced, would have been entitled
to a one-third interest during life. She IS
a young, healthy woman, with apparently
thirty or forty years of life before her. 1t
is but fair to presume that, at ten per cent
interest, her third would be worth fifty or
sixty thousand dollars and over in twenty
years. And. from what we can learn,
her chances to live twice that long is as
good as the chances OF the average of
womankind for ten years. But, by some
hocus-pocus, she was persuaded or pre-
vented from appearing against the COM
plant, and to accept compromise OF
eight thousand dollars alimony. 1his
compromise was endorsed, and the d.
vorce granted by Judge William g. west
when the complainant-who never knew
that he complained atty allmwas dying:
Comment is unnecessary. The names OF
other actors in this matter we withhold
| for the present.

The efforts being made by interested
parties to keep up and raise the price of
hay by cries of a short crop and conse
quent scarcity of winter fodder for cattle is
most SenSeless and wicked. 1t is true that
he hay crop Of Maine the present year will
he diminished from last year, but the per
centage is not SO great as has been repre-
Sented. We have taken some pains to
ascertain the precise condition of the crop
in this vicinity and in some other parts of
the State, by conversation with farmers and
others practically acquainted with the facts;
and the results of our inquiries is that on
we'll kept land the decrease is from 10 to 90
per cent, while in few instances have the
figures reached so low as 80 per cent, and
then only on old, worn-out land with thin
soil. We estimate, therefore, that the hay
crop of Maine for the year 1871 will not
fall off from last years product more than
- per cent.
But admitting the truth Of the alarmists
predictions, there is no reason for an exor-
bitant price. The law of compensation ap-
plies here in the abundance and cheapness
of corn. Fifteen bushels of which can be
bought for twelve dollars, with q ton of
hay, is fully equal for stock, to two tons of
herds grass. AT the present high cost of
hay in this market ($33) the use of corn

80 per ton. The corn crop of the west is
unfailing, and there is no prospect that the
price at the east will advance; but on the
contrary, it is likely to drop. Our advice
to farmers is to feed more corn and winter
the young stock, which is sometimes sold
in the fall through necessity, when it is not
fit for beef, and the loss of which on the
farm is source of poverty to the land and
to the owner. .
| A new process for making grasshoppers
useful as we'll as ornamental, is in vogue
with farmer of this county, who sends his
boys into the fields with cotton sheets
saturated with water. The boys take hold
of the four corners Of the sheet, spread it
| out like sail Of a vessel, and stand to the
| windward; and as the clouds Of grasshop-
| pers are driving along before the wind,
catch them in the sheet, to which they ad-
here, double up the sheet, drown the pests
and carry them to the hogs and turkies to
be gobbled up. This is ''throwing wet
blanket" on the prospects of the grasshop-
pers, but as they have swallowed the crops
| it is no more than fair that they should 90
down in the crops of the turkies and the
throats of the hog. [Ken. Journal.

am dying, Egypt, dying.
EhhS the crimson lfe-tde fast;
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arms, o queen, cntold me
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear;
Listen to the great heart secrets,
Thou, and thou alone must hear.
Though nv SCARED and veteran lcgions
Bear their eagles high no more,
And nv wrecked and scattered galleys
StreW dark Actium's fatal shore,
Though no glittering guards surround me
Prompt to do the masters will,
must perish like Roman
DE the great Iriumvir still.
Let not Caesars Seryle minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no toeman'S arm that felled him,
Twas his own that struck the blow
His, who pilowed on thy bosom,
Turned aside from glory's ray
His, who drunk with thy caresses
Madly threw Il world away.
Should the base p'ebeian rabbie
Dare asSail my name at Rome.
Where the noble spouse. Octayit,
Weeps within her widowed home:
Seek her; say the gods bear witness
Affairs, augurs, circiing wings
That her blood with mine commingled,
Yet shall mount the throne of kings.
And for thee, star-cyed Egyptian,
Glorious SorcereSS of the Nile,
Light the path to Stygian horrors
With the splendors of thy smile.
Give to Caesar crowns and arches,
Round his brow the laurel twiue,

Triumphing in love like thine.

Shall my heart eXulting, swell,

Farm, Garden, and Household,


A correspondent gives the general figures
of Illinois stock raising as follows: The
drst large farmer that | found is S. H.
Elliott. lie came to Edgar county, about
the year 1850, and made a cash payment Of
$1,000 on 500 acres in the edge of the tim
Der; the balance he was to pay in one and
two years. The price per acre was Then
about $40. He planted curn fed it to the
hogs, and sold pork. This was the simple
but effective system that he followed for Il
years 1t enabled him to meet his payments
TO fence and ditch his place. to build good
house and large out-houses Then in lSG5
he changed his stock and became interested
in mules. Now he feeds 10 of these ami
mails. When a mule is weancd he will give
500 for 80 inches in height. He does not
buy mules that are less than 80 inches at
Weaning, for these he can feed and care for
till they are IN hands high, and then they
are worth from Sl25 to Sl75 each II takes
about eighteen months and some $50 worth
of hay and oats to produce this growth
j hat is to say, spend SO for your mule
colt and so for his keeping, and you have
IA II months time an article worth $50
Feeding As he now does $50, and in way
- clear $40 on each animal | did not think
IL worth the while 10 ask now he likes prai-
rie farming. He has no idea of selling:
but II he had, it would be of no use to offer
him less than $50 an acre If he were to
sell it would be because lie could take that

Summer Eating.

We cat to keep warm and to sustain
strength, and all articles of food have. those
two elements IN varying proportion. Oils,
tallow, a,nd whale blubber are almost
wholly of the warming element; hence in
Greenland, where the thermometer is many
degre below zero, and a great deal of
heat is required, a native will drink dozen
gallons of oil every day, or eat ten pounds
of tallOW. In the hottest climates of the
world the inhabitants live to great extent
on fruit and vegetables, which have but
very little of the heating qualities. In our
climate, which is between the two, meats,
vegetables, and fruits are eaten all the year
round; but if eaten according to the season
more of fruits and vegetables in summer
and less of meats and fats-an incalculable
amount Of sickness would be prevented
every year. We would think man de-
ranged who should keep rs large fires burn
ing in his house in summer as in winter,
and yet we all persist in eating meats and
fats and butter all through the summer.
Meats and butter are on our tables three
times day, when in reality they ought to
be sparingly used during the summer
months at least by the young, the old, and
the feeble, and by all who are the most of
the time indoor, or who have no active en-
ployment. For the classes Just named, a
very appropriate diet for the summer would
be rs follows;
Breakfast, st,-cold bread and butter a Slice
Of cold meat, or in its place u couple of
eggs or saucer Of berries or stewed fruit
without milk, cream or sugar. The same
tor dinner, with one vegetable; no other
desert. For supper, some cold bread and
butter and cup of hot drink, and nothing
else; nothing whatever between meals. So
far from starving on such a diet, the class
of persons above named would live on it,
would thrive on it, would grow stronger
every day, would have more bodily vigor,
mental elasticity, and greater flow Of ami
mai spirits, and for the reason that few
would eat too much; there would be moth
ing to overtempt the appetite, hence the
stomach would not be overworked what
work it did perform, would be well done;
the blood made would be pure, lite giving,
and energizing. Any man of ordinary in
telligence and observation, who will give a
fair trial to the above system of feeding,
will scarcely fail to be convinced of its value
within a week after he begins it. Halls

great deal has been said in the papers
about the best time for pruning trees, and
we are prepared to concede that the sum
mer months are beSt that the wounds will
then heal over quickest, and that the least
injury is then done to the tree. If the tree
raiser will make experiments, as all ought
to do, he will find in which months wounds
are healed over quickest.
There is good deal of truth in the rule
however-to prune in winter for wood
growth, and IN summer for fruit-but the
wounds in winter do not heal over so quick
ly, and water shoots are very apt to be
thrown out, when amputation has taken
place.
The true theory of all pruning, however,
is to so guide the growth of limbs, as to
have no severe pruning at any time.
Start the head of the tree right in its ill.,
fancy, and if any branches are Going astray
cut them of with your pocket knife at any
time No larger pruning instrument should
20 into an orchard at any time than prnn-
ing knife; and no larger one is needed, If
used at the proper time.
The object of pruning is to regulate the
growth OF the tree, to throw the sap into
the proper channels, to form Il we'll balanc
ed head with all parts open to the sun, so
that the fruit may have size and color.
Many go into their orchards saving Off
large limbs, cutting off more brush than
they leave on the tree, mangling and butch
ering it horribly.
There are laws for preventing cruelty to
animals; and there should be for prevent
ing cruelty to trees. The laws of vegetable
physiology should be as well understood by
him who cndeavors to regulate and promote
the growth and fruittulness OF trees, as the
of al c1, oh
stood by him whose profession it is to re-
gulate and bring to normal condition the
animal system when out of order.
Orchards should be visited often at this
season of the year with pruning knife in
hand, and kind attention given to every
tree
Trees should be considered adopted chill
dren, and their every want should be at
tended to. They should have good, rich
soil, which should be well worked, that Il
thrifty growth may be made.
