Rolling Grain in the Spring.

If farmers would look at the theory of roll
ing the wheat and rye fields In the SPRING it
would be resorted to much more frequently
than it is Occasionally the Winter and
Spring have been 60 favorable to these crops
as not to render Il necessary. But ln three
seasons out of four, Il is necessary, and doubt
less adds considerably TO their productiyeness.
The thawings and frceEngs Of the ground,
throwing or spowing out the roots and expos
ing them to the drying winds OF February md
March, very seriously affect tho grain. Pass
ing roller over as soon as the soil Is fit to en-
ter upon, presses back the roOtsinto their beds,
and gives them fair grip upon the support
on which the crop must depend. This must
be apparent to every one who will look at It's
operation. We have no doubt that rolling
clover fields that have been badly thrown up
by the frost, would also have beneficial ef-
feet Ggmdntorn Telegraph.

POETRY.
OVER THE BARS.

Twas milking time, and cows came Up
From the meadows sweet with clover,
And stood in the lane, while pretty Jane,
Had quiet Chat, with The drover-
Such quiet chat, that il scarcely seemed
That single word was spoken; -.
While magic spefl With the night dews fell,
And the rhythm Of song was unbroken'
The cattle stood at the lorer's side,
Without any show of vexatior,
As though impressed that fve-bsr rest
Was part Of their restoration,
And as Jane listened to notes that came
Right under the bars and over,
Her heart took wing, like silly thing,
And nestled up close to the drover.
She heard him say that his homo was poor,
That he'd nG thing but love to give her;
And she smiled content, as though love had spent
Every arrow he had in his quiver
She smiled content, while the evening air
With voices of birds was ringing;
And her lips confessed that lowly nest
Should never prevent her singing.
So over the bars the lovers lean,
In the JOY of their sweet communion;
And their looks declare that poverty ne'er
Shall be a bar to their union.
o, sweetest music, 60 thread your rhymes
Now under the bars and over
Where pretty Jane, in the fragrant lane,
Betwitched the heart OF the drover'

down and weary of earth7 How it rests our
souls to hear the Saviour whispering, Come
unto me and will give you rest Are we

We can find friend in Jesus, who can un-
derstand our case, being Himself, once subject
to the same trials. Are we forced TO part with
the true, the loved ones Of our heart, and feel
that there is no earthly balm, which can soothc
or ailay our suffering? Behold lie takes US by
the hand, goes with us 70 the grave, even
weeps with us, and best of all, promises a
happy reunion at the resurrection. Can We
turn away from such love- and cling to the
things that perish God forbid. Let us
rather make Him our best friend Without
Him, our own works will surely come to
naught. With Him, we may build upon a
sure foundation. Then come what will, we
need not fear, for His promises are sure.

Emerging from the tnlc to little higher
ground we come TO the tomb Of Bishop
Meade, located under an immense oak, just
where the second valley of the cemetery de-
bouches into the main one. 1t is a sarcopha-
gus Of white marble, eight feet ten inches in
length, and FIVE feet in width, with Gaping
two feet eight inches high, the whole resting
on granite base two feet high. On one side
is inscribed, Erected as a memorial Of Love
and Veneraton by the Protestant Episcopal
Church of Virginia On another, art Rev.
VIM. Meade, d. D., third Bishop of Virginia.
Born in Clarke county, Va, November lith,
1899. Died in the city of Richmond. March
14th, 1862" On another, "He iiyed for Christ,
died in Christ, and, we believe, is with Christ"
and on the last prominent in the revival of
the Church after the Revolutionary war, he
was the Jealous defender Of its purity, and the
founder and liberal patron Of the Theological
Seminary Of Virginia" The royal old oak is
a good type of the old man who sleeps beneath
its shade. AS bishop and ruler Of hi:
church, he was steadfast against all the wind:
Of strange doctrines and rs a pastor and

vineyard have taken refuge from the heat o
