Good Night.
BY 4 j. Il. DUGANNE.

BY j. b. DUGANNE.
Beyond the press of loss and gain,
How sweet. at eve, to creep,
And fold about my weary brain
The lotus-leaves of sleep,
And all the throbs of daily pam
In opiate fancies steep.
No lotUs-leaf-nO Indian vine
Like evenings mystic Gains,
Descending under dusk divine
And dropping tender balms
into this lowly heart of mine.
That asketh God for aims,
0, blessed sleep! amounting me
With ehrism of holy Night,
Ana binding me, that 1 may see
Beyond all earthly sight.
And binding me, that I may be
Released, for viewless flight.
Upborne from dust of daily things
And freed from curb of clay,
10 mount upon ethereal wings
Through bounIess worlds to stray,
Ana drink of Llfe's eternal springs,
Beyond the fOunts of Day.
o! loving Sleep that bringeth Dreams,
To WOO, with waving hands,
And II us back, by pleasant streams,
And over silvery strands,
Where MemOry-like mOonlight-gleams
Across the shining sands.
o tide of Sleep that softly flows
Through Pleasures golden blooms,
And GIBBS, in sorrowfuI repose,
Beneath our Sorrows gIooms,
Where Memory like moonltght-shows
The names on all our tombs.
o ! gentle Sleep! o solemn DeathI
TSin-angels, darkly bright,
To kiss our ey es, and seal our breath,
And softly veil the light
[ know not which it be that saith
The tenderest 4" Goodnight

HERLINGER, the lion tanner, tried his
hand at managing a leopard at the St.
Louis Hotel the other day, and the
leopard got the best of it. The war
mint =" finally laid down quietly, in front
of the cigar stand, waiting for the
opening of hostilities. He went it
loosely for while, soon after, among
the cigar boxes, and finally, seeming to
be sorry for what he had done, laid
down at full length on the marble coun-
ter of the eating bar Herlinger ate
his soft crabs and drank his brandy,
whistled for the leopard and the two
marched away together They did not
present a check for the .refreshm ent,
and were glad to get rid of the visitors.

By squat in the Delaware Bay, last
week, while sailing in yacht, two
young men were overtaken. At Naza-
reth Methodist Church, on Twelfth ST.,
Philadelphia, at public worship they
had occasionally been present. From
the way things looked, the capsizing of
their shallop was very near inevitable.
Bill, SAID one to the other, this is
serious business can you pray 2" "No,
1 can't; I've heard Joe Post do it, aud
I've listened to Bill Quinn, but I can't
do it myself" well, you can sing a
hymn, can't you? For Gods sake, do
something! ~ "No, L can't sing here
how can [ sing when this boat, at any
moment, may drown us both ?" well,
We must do something religious. If
you can't sing, let's take up a collec
ton" To this Bill consented. In his
companions hat he deposited thirteen
pennies, a corkscrew, and broken
bladed knife. As he did. this the wind
lulled, and the shallop made a success
full landing.

Velocity of Electricity.

The velocity of electric waves through
the Atlantic cable has been ascertained
to be from 1000 to $500 per second.
Telegraph wires upon poles in the air,
conduct the electric waves with a We
locity more than double the rapiditv,
the transmission increasing with the
height. Wires slightly elevated trans
nit signals with velocity of 10000
miles per second, and those of con
siderable height give velocity of 49,

A new method of packing butter for
the retail trade has been invented,
which promises to answer a want long
felt. The new process is described as
follows A frkin or barrel is prepared
by filling to proper depth with strong
and pure brine. The butter, as it Is
taken from the churn and prepared
for market, is carefully selected as to
color and quality, and enclosed in plain
cotton bags or sacks, weighing, from five
to ten pounds each. These sacks are
placed in the barrel or firkin, fresh
and sweet, and as the brine completely
covers them they can be kept in this
condition for any length OF time, it is
claimed, with out any deterioration in
quality. One great advantage that IS
claimed for this new style of packing
IS, that dealers can take one or more
of the bags from the original package,
leaving the rest safe under cover of the
brine and excluded from the air. The
bags are suited to the retail trade, as
they are just about what is generally
needed for family use, but are at the
same time so conveniently arranged
that any smaller amount can be cut
from them in the handiest manner. This
is an experiment IN packing butter, but
1t is worthy of consideration by retail
dealers.-BatfdIo Com. -Ady.
Treatment of Peach Orchards after
Midsummer.
From the Grand Haven Union.
1t is now well understood by the in
teIl1gent and practical peach grower
that cultivating among peach trees after
midsummer must be stopped. It is to
thoroughly ripen the new wood by the
time heavy fall frosts occur. It is be-
heved by sowing buckwheat in the
orchard, the ground is kept from being
run over with weeds. The buckwheat
shades the ground and thereby enr1ches
the soil-an important item. In the
fall the buckwheat is plowed under.
By this means the cut worm is greatly
kept under subje ctiOn, besides fertiliz-
ing the soil. The seeding should be
done about the middle of July or first
OF August. Plow shallow and harrow
well.
