THE WASTED FLOWERS,

At eve ! wandered by a stream,
And wandered too in fancy land.
Until awakened from my dream
BY childish laughter close at hand.
To see upon a messy nook,
That iutted out little way
Into the silvery- noted brook
A rosy little maid at play.
She had arrayed little store
OF velvet moss and golden flowers,
To gather which, in rambling DER
The fields, had cost her doubtless hours
And now she took them one by one
And cast them on the merry tide,
Laughing to see them dancing on
Or lodging round the rocks to hide
So famous was the sport indeed
To see the fowerets bound and toss,
That all were gone, ere she could heed
The full Importance Of the loss
And then she bounded to her feet,
An echo sent from cliff to tree,
Her little words 50 wildly sweet
Oh bring my playthings back to me
The prattlng stream heard not her call.
But sweptits lovely burdens on
III o Ell tle numbering Ndler-IaII
They dashed, and were forever gone;
And thus, he thought in every honr
Away thousand tlowerets glide
Each wasted moment is a flower
Swift upon Times rushing tide.
Pluck then these flowerets as they pass,
And cast them idly not away,
Retain them that their heavenly grace
May bring you pleasure through the day,
Else when upon Times restless sea
Your precious treasures have been cast,
The answer for your call shall be,
An echo from the shadowy Past

A married man, somewhere or
other, is reported to have recently
terminated long discussion with an
insurance agent who wanted him to
insure for $4,000 by the remark :
'No, a widow with more than ten
thousand dollars would be danger

GENTS: You are we'll aware of

been in my native country four
weeks, and now give You the news.
| have travelled through a great
portion of Sweden, and think ! have
had application from ten thousand
young men and women, who wish to
come to your country, on the terms
which you know. Sweden is grow

orders, with people who are healthy,
strong, able and willing to do any
and every kind of work.
Why should not the people in
Georgia assist me in this matterY-
They would not lose, but gain by it.
| am sure that one million people,
married as we'll as single, would be
very glad to go with me to Georgia
next fall, if could pay their pas
sage. | have promised a great
many to come back in the fall and
assist them in getting to Georgia,
which | hope to be able to do. But
| have thus far had but little encour-
agement had the promise Of
about one hundred and fifty tickets
when | left, and have received only
thirteen. This trip cost me twice
as much as l expected, so my COM
mission will not pay half of my ex-
penses. | hope, however, that |
shall be able to make it up in the
fall. If | could only win the conf
dence of the people Of Georgia |
could make myself useful man.
viii say few words about my
travelling and the weather. When
| came to Goteborgden, | saw snow
all around on the hills; of course the
weather was very cold. I,could not
be outdoors long. | remained at
Gotcborgden two weeks. The Goth
of April | took the train and went to
Stockton and there it was degrees
cooler. / found it necessary to put
on full suit of winter clothing
Every day hundreds of people were
around me, who wanted an oppor-
tunity to come to America. The
second day | was in Stockholm snow
fell to the depth of six inches
When | awoke in the morning and
looked through the window, could not
imagine what was on all the house.

seeing it was snow, said to myself
"the d-lmay live here but not H.
The next day the snow began to mel
and there was a terrible mess.
On leaving Stockholm, | went to
GeAe, thence to Hedemsro, my old
home, and found my folks all well.
After three days, l went back to
Stockholm, thence to Westervie,
Oskarsbamre, Calmar, Carlskrona,
Malmo, Solvitsborg and Gutenberg.
| advertised wherever | went and
promised to be back in October

me ifI was from heaven; said he

me so. | have few days here yet /;

PAPA, WHAT Is A NEWSPAPER

Organs that gentlemen play, my boy,
To answer the taste of the day, my boy,
Whatever it be,
They hit on the key,
And pipe in full concert away, my boy.
News from all countries and .climes, my boy,
Advertisements, essays, and rhymes, my boy
Mixed up with all sorts
OF ~ lying reports,
And published at regular times, my boy.
Articles able and wise, my boy,
At least in the editors eyes, my boy,
And logic so grand
That few understand
To what in the. world it applies, my boy.
Statistics, reflections, reviews, my boy,
Little scraps to oinstruct!and amuse, my boy,
And lengthy debate
Upon matters of State,
For wise-headed folks to peruse, my boy.
The funds as they were and they are, my boy,
The quibbles and,quIrks. of the bar, my boy,
And every week
clever critique,
On some rising theatrical star, my boy.
The age of Jupiter's moons, my boy,
The stealing of somebody's spoons, my boy,
The state OF. the crops
The style OF the fops,
And the wit Of the public bufroons, my boy.
List of all physical ills, my boy,
Banished by somebody's pills, my boy,
Till you ask with surprise
Why any one dies,
Or what's the disorder that kills, my boy.
Who has got married, to whom, my boy,
Who were cut Off in their bloom, my boy,
Who has birth
On this sorrow-stained earth,
Who totters first to the tomb, my boy.
The prices of cattle and grain, my boy,
Directions to dig and to drain, my boy;
But 'twould take me too long,
To tell you in song,
A quarter of what they contain, my boy.

A Crumb of Comfort for
Housekeepers!

1t may be comfort to housekeep-
ers who are ''tired to death" with
servants coming and leaving, to
know that others in years gone by
have saffered similar trials. Bee
thoven, the great master" had a
lively experience in this respect. In
a biography of him we find the fol
lowing extract from his diary, which
records the discipline he underwent.
1t reads thus:
1920.
18th April-The kitchen maid
came. A bad day. This means
that he had nothing to eat, because
all the victuals were spoiled through
long waiting.
18th May-Given warning to the
kitchen maid.
10Th May-The kitchen maid
left.
30th May-The woman came.
1st July-Kitchen maid arrived.
2Sth July-At night the kitchen
maid ran away.
30th July-The woman from I'm
ta-Dobbing came.
The four bad days-10th, 11th
18th and 18th August-dined al
Lerchenfeld.
2Sth Aug.-The woman's month
expires.
9th September-The girl came.
22d October-The girl left.
18th December-The kitchen
maid came.
18th December-Given warning
to the kitchen maid.
9th December-The new house
maid came.

Sheep in Winter.

A writer in the american Stock
Journal says: at is too often the
case that sheep are obliged to 'shirk'
for themselves after it is time they
should be in the stable; and it is
the practice of many to let their
sheep run out as long as there is no
snow, whether there is any feed or
not. l do not see why
they do not need as much
food late in the season as at any
other time: They need to be pro-
tected from storms as much as any
other stock. When they are once
thoroughly wet their wool does not
dry fer number of days, and it is
evident that they are uncomfortable
while this wet "coat" is on them.
In cold weather, with frost-bitten
food, we cannot expect they will
thrive under these circumstances;
they do not feel disposed to feed,
but are trying to find some place for
shelter. After they are taken to the
stable, plenty of food is required.
Now 1 have heard men say, that 3
sheep did not need much of any
drink, and would even do without
it; but 1 know better. My sheep
barn is divided into four separate
pens, and water in each, so that
they can drink when they please.
have watched them, and in q flock
of fifty, ,one or more will be at the
trough drinking, for an hour at 3
time, and they will eat a little, and
drink few swallows, then eat little
more.
1t is my rule to have the boys who
attend to feeding and watering, fill
the troughs twice in the morning
after feeding, and twice in the after
noon, always commencing with the
first yard as is done in feeding as
well as watering), and ending with
the last.

Anecdote of A. n. Stephens

A story is told of Alexander h.
Stephens to this effect:
In the political canvass Of 1856
he was accompanied by shaggy
dog, named Rio, that became as well
known as himself. In Columbia
Co. he met a Gen. II. r. Wright
in debate, and worsted him. To
postpone the defeat Wright cried
out:
II demand q list of your appoint
ments, Sir! I'll get my documents,
and meet you at every place, Sir!
Yes, Sir, I'll dog you all over this dis
trictm
Stephens pointed to the sleeping
Rio by his side, and said:
Then I'll send Rio home. One
dog at a time is enough!
Wright sat down.

Waterproof Glue.

A glue, not to be affected by
moisture, may be prepared by dis
solving one ounce of sandarac and
one ounce of mastic in half pint Of
alcohol, and adding one ounce of
white turpentine. A very thick glue
is then to be made, to which some
isinglass is to be added. The alco-
holic solution is to be heated in
vessel to boiling, and poured grad
ually, with constant stirring, into
the warmed glue, until the whole is
intimately mixed together. The
mixture is finally to be strained
through cloth, and is then ready
for use, and is to be applied hot. 1t
dries quickly, becomes very hard.
and pieces of wood united with it
do not separate in water.

Sponges from the Florida Reef

Sponges were very numerous,
though we were told that a large
portion were not gather. The
sponger could readily distinguish
the best as he pushed his boat over
them. Some of the coarser kinds,
not marketable, are four feet in di-
ameter. They are all more or less
concave at the apex. A black mem
branous tunic covers them, and soft
jelly-like portions project into the
pores and cavities, constituting the
slight claim they have to place in
the animal kingdom. Animal mu-
Gus and fat oil have been found in
their analysis; so the vexed ques-
ton is settled by chemistry, and
they are unquestionably admitted
to the ranks of animated nature,
though far from active members. A
slight current is observable over the
openings, and nourishment is prob
ably absorbed rs it circulates
through them. The framework is
made up of silica, a wonderful pro-
portion. in the form of spicule or
splinters. Unlike most other marine
objects, sponge is less attractive in
its living state; only after the soft
parts are removed is is pleasing to
the eye. The pretty urn and other
shaped sponges found on the beach
es are merely the skeletons.
A large trade is now carried on at
Key West in this article. Small
schooners, from ten to twenty tons
burden, are employed. They are
much the shape of half an egg, and
as fiat as is consistent with due re-
gard to sailing qualities; approach
ING, probably, as near as is possible
the mythic craft that is said to ''foat
in heavy dew" These vessels lie
at anchor in the channels, while the
spongers push their small boats over
the flats to gather the sponge. In
some places they dive for it, and in
shoal water grapple them. The spec
linens are very heavy, being loaded
with water and the jelly-like animal
matter. They are buried in the sand
of the beaches until the matter is
decomposed, when they are washed
and carried to Key West, collected
upon strings of convenient length,
and bleached in the sun. That por-
tion of Key West called Conchtown
is the principal depository, where
the yards and fences are loaded with
them. For many years nearly all
the sponge collected on the Florida
Reef was sold at Key West. to an Is
raelite of New York, one Isaacs; lat
terly others have entered the trade,
and very respectable income is de-
rived from it. B. HOLDER, in
Harper's Magazine.

Unlimited Credit.

An enterprising and fair dealing
business man in Augusta, Me-, was
lately met at the door of his grocery
by an honest-looking Frenchman, AN
entire stranger to him, who asked
credit for barrel of flour.
II can pay half re cash down and
re balance next Saturday, sure. "
The merchant without hesitation
turned to one of his clerks and, with
kindly smile upon the would be
owner of the barrel of -four, said J:
''This good man wants to get trust
ed for a barrel of -four; he'll pay
half down and the rest next Satur-
day. I'll risk him; he's good as
gold; open fresh barrel, weigh out
half, deliver it in good shape at his
house, put the barrel away safely,
and take it down next Saturday
when he pays the balance; never re-
fuse to trust an honest-looking man
for bread"
1t was done; the money paid, and
the French gentleman departed re-
joicing in an abundance of -four and
unlimited (?) credit.
