FLORENCE PERCY.
Pray thee put the sermon by-vex my soul no more
with creeds,
They are only stones and husks to my hungry spr-
it's needs -
l am tired of striving sects, with their various
bigotry-
All, for me death holds terror but the fear of
losing thee,
In Heaven apart from thee, could by exiled soul
rejoice?
Could join the angels song, missing thence thy
tender voice?
What to me were gates of pearl if they parted thee
and me?
What the streets fair and golden if walked them
seeking thee?
What to me would be the joys of that bright and
wondrous land,
If among them should lack evermore thy loving
hand?
What to the pastures green where thy feet could
never be?
What the paths beside still waters if thou walkest
not with me?
All, wherever after death my sill faithful soul may
dwell,
Saints may call it bliss or woe-they may name it
heaven or hell,
By thee only, oh, beloved, will my joy or pain be
wrought,
1 shall find my heaven beside thee, my hell where
thou art not!

A Song for decoration Day. -

THE following song, written by Miss Annie Her
bert, for Decoration Day, and set to music by
James G. Clark, the well known lyric poet and
singer, has just been issued ia sheet form as song
and chorus, by Oliver Ditson, Boston
THEY ARE SLEEPING.
They are sleeping where howrs of the glade and the
In mantle OF love have arrayed them,
While the cannon is hush'd and the bugle is still
Sleeping on where their comrades have laid them
Oh the days viii grow long while they lnger away
In their homes which the green moses cover,
And our eyes never trace on their headstones so
grey,
The dear name of friend or of lover
CHORUS.
Columbia, Queen of the free and the brave
For the faith that deserted thee never
May thy banner of stars over mountain and wave
Guard the graves of thy heroes forever
How still are the ranks of Columbia's dead
Yet they rushed on the waves of the battle
How loWly the pride of each grass-covered head
That faced the fierce musketr7's rattle
YET better by far is their death than the life
VI the soulless who shrink from their duty
Goa crowned them martyrs-who fell in the
strife
And their lives are srsnsfgured in beauty
Columbia's jewels, how brightly they shine
BY the rivers, the sands and savannahs
While Peace rings her Jubilee anthem divine,
And the hills answer back with hozannas
May the heart never throb meath the heavens above
That thrills not to hear of their story,
And the arm be unnerved that would seek to re-
One leaf from the crown of their glory.

Valuable Italian Manuscripts.

In the Allgemeine Zeitung, G.. NJ.
Thomas gives an account of q collec-
ton of Italian manuscripts lately added
to the Munich Library They mostly
illustrate the history of Europe during
the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eigh-
teenth centuries; but though almost all
European kingdoms are represented,
Venice and Rome have the largest share,
and the collection was probably made
in the former place. There are num-
Der of the famous Reports of Venetian
Ambassadors, made like the reports
on the state of the country" contribu-
ted by our foreign agents to the blue
books. One relates to the war of Cy-
prus with Sultan Selim, 1870; another
to that with Sultan Soliman, 1879 +;
another to the Hungarian war of 1861.
Much light is thrown on the history OF
the Cardinals and of the Conclave dur
ing the period-the satire and epigram
which have their native home In Rome

Mode CT Managing a FESTIVE Horse.


A groom, mounted on a high melted
hunter, entered the High street of
Coldstream, and when opposite Sir
John Maioribanks' monument the
horse began to plunge and rear to a
fearful extent, swerving to the right
and then to the left, but go forward he
would not, nor could all the exertions
of the groom overcome his obstinacv
The street was filed with people ex-
pecting to see the animal destroy him
self on the spikes of the iron railing
round the monument, when Mr.. Nc
Dougall, saddler, walked up to the
groom and said q think, my man,
you are not taking the proper method
to make the horse go; allow me, il
you please, to show you trick worth
knowing ''Well, said the groom,
If you can make him go, its more
than [ can ;" when Mr. McDouga0
took piece of whip cord, which he
tied with a firm knot on the end OF
the animals ear, which he bent gently
down, fastening the end of the string
to the check buckle of the bride this
done, he patted the horses neck once
or twice, and said: Now let me see
you go home like good horse. AS
tonishing to relate, the horse moved
off as gently as If nothing had hap
pened. Mr.. McDougall says he has

Raising Turke vs..

Seeing anlnduiry IN the Pralre Farm
CT with regard to raising turkeys,
thought / would give the result of my
experience:
[ commenced the business with very
limited knowledge, resulting, of course,
in poor success. But perseverance and
the knowledge gained in very expen-
sive school, wrought, at last, very salts
factory results.
By the following management,
raised last year about one hundred
turkeys from five hens, and lost but a
very small number, except by accident {:
Ny plan is to set the eggs under the
common hen. They have more inteli-
gence, and are more tractable, as a
class, than the turkey. The eggs viii
hatch in about twenty-eight days. A
day or two before Matching, soak the
eggs In warm soap suds. The shell Is
thick, and if set in a warm, dry nest,
will be so hard that in some instances
the young bird will not be able to break
it, and will die Soaking the egg will
generally remove this difficulty.
Very frequently the young need as
sistance in getting out of the shell
even after it is broken. The mem
brane surrounding them becomes dried
down and tough, and should be re-
moved from them as soon as 1T can be
done without bleeding.
When thirty-six hours old remove
them from the nest. Take four boards,
foot wide and sixteen feet long, and
nail them together for pen; set it on
smooth, grassy, sunny place; take an
old BARREL turn ii on the side, and
make a soft, warm nest of hay or straw.
lean the cover against the barrel for a
shade by day and a door by night.
Put the hen and her brood in the pen,
and let them have full liberty to stay
there till they are able to jump or fly
out. BY that time they will be able tC
enjoy the liberty of the fields, and not
till then.
Feed them for a few days on wheat

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Hints from a Housewife.

Perhaps some of your housekeeping
readers do not know of certain econom-
lcal expedients in domestic management
that have somehow crept into our prac-
tlce. BroomS are SO generally used and
abused that, their freshness worn off,
they are too soon discarded When a
broom begins to succumb to wear and
tear, place it in a pan of boiling water
for few seconds, shaking it well, and
drying it quickly in the sun or near the
tire. If the bottom edge is wearing I'M
evenly, tie string around it until it is
dry, and trim off the uneven edge care
fully. Whisk brooms should be treated
IN the same way. Clothes-pins boiled
few moments, and quickly dried, once
or twice a month, become more flexible
and durable. Clothes-lines will last
longer and keep IN better order for
wash-day service if occasionally treated
III the same way. We have discovered
q tirst-class homemade cement for fill
ing up cracks in an old stove or range.
The ingredients are wood ashes and
salt, equal proportions IN bulk of each
little less of salt Reduce to a soft
paste with cold water, and fill cracks
when the stove or range is cool The
cement will soon become perfectly hard.
We keep an iron spoon in an old tin pan
ON hand, ready for duty whenever crack
appears. F'ire-clay, obtained at the
stove-dealers) will sometimes answer,
but our homemade cement is always at
command. Never discard the old lids
of the WORKOUT cooking stove when the
lron-monger takes it away. They can
be heated 50 quickly, and when wrap
ped in cloths and placed around or upon
the body in cases of severe pain will be
found invaluable. Many a time have
we been able to sooth suffering by these
warm lids always being at hand Flat
and light as they are, they can be easily
placed anywhere on the body. Keep
them III a convenient place, where they
can be mad at moments notice.

The Grub in Strawberry Beds.

The season of 1869, we lost thousands
Of plants of choice varieties of the
strawberry IN a piece Of new land, by
the white grub eating off the roots,
and In some instances the entire crown
of the plant. The beds and rows were
gone through with by hand and the
earth dug up, and killed when found.
yet with all possible care, not more
than half We're destroyed Early the
past spring, there was an evident crop
of the pests ready to destroy the plants
left and the runners made in the latter
part of thr season This formidable
enemy of the strawberry, on
rather new or rich soils, had to
be destroyed, or the growing of the
plants discontinued. 1t was an expert
ment; might kill plants and all-but
determined to try. [ applied to the
beds in the month of April, at the rate
of one bushel and a quarter of coarse
solt to the one-fOurth acre of land, dis

of the plants, where the salt rested i'm
mediately upon the leaves, were a little
blackened, but not at ali damaged to
prevent fruiting and a vigorous growth.
But 10. the grub was not accustomed
to salt victuals-they all disappeared.
A few weeks later the same amount of
salt was spread broadcast over a piece
