La NOyena.

A sAa iowy street in the Eternal City
And in the twilight mild
there stood an image, stif aad quaint and formal,
Mad ma and the Child.
Betote he shrine tiny lamp was burning
Paled by the torches glare
1t tlictered on the tinse star above 1t
And on Madonna's hair.
With ewes upturned and serious, swarthy faces
The Piferari stood,
Wrapped in the brown folds of their sheepskin man-
ties,
And pl tyed on pipes Of wood
Whose sound rose up and fell in curious cadence
Through all its shry range;
Tie song, their fathers knew of old tradition
- onotonous and strange:
They sang how in the dusky, low-rooted stable
Toe oxen breathing warm
Saw aIt1 great eyes of patient, silent wonder
The babe on mothers arm.
The air was heavy with the scent of spices
Ana kings that came from far,
iieardcd and ronzed, bent low beside the mahger-
Above them stood star!
Across the seas-across the years like waters
In this New England home
Cones, blending with the chldrens laugh, the plain
tive
Noyena-song of Rome.

A Hint 10 Horticultural Committees.

1t is not rare thing to find, among
fruit collections at the Autumn Fairs,
many varieties OF pears and APPLES which
have long been discarded from the list of
kinds worthy of cultivation, while several
others rank as only middling or second
rate Still, societies continue to otter
premiums for the greatest number. The
consequence is that the farmer who looks
over the tables hoping to get hints which
will assist him in making selections for
the new orchard he purposes planting,
very soon becomes bewlldered, and returns
to his home no wiser than he left it.
Of late years lew of the more pro
gressive associations have made inroads
upon this old and Objectionable method.
the horticultural societies of Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts leading of IN the re-
form, and the horticultural branch Of the
New jersey society following in their
wake. In the latter State especially, the
plan, after three years trial, has been
found to work admirably. Instead OF Civ
ing all the large sums for extensive lots of
fruit exhibited by single growers (who are
usually nurserymen,) the plan is now to
offer inducement for dishes OF certain
named approved kinds. This gives TIE
beginner chance of seeing what varieties
practical fruit growers raise either tor
market or home use When the tables OF
an annual exhibition are covered by 500
plates, representing 100 growers, instead
of two or three nurserymen, then 1t will
pay any one about to plant an orchard
to carefully inspect the collection. The
mistake usually made by persons who at
tempt fruit culture in large way is in
staI ting with to many kinds-an error
which the method we criticise has done Il
great deal to Ierpetuate.
When nurserymen want to show their
fruit, every facility should be afforded to
hem but it is worse than useless for any
local association to offer premiums for
laige numbers of kinds. Let the officers
of some of the State societies, in making
up their schedule this Fall, revise and I'M
prove their lists.

John and Martin Van Buren,.

l have heard Il story OF curious pas
sage between John Van Buren, and his
father, which is sufficiently characteristic
to be true, although l sboald not like
TO vouch for its verify. The senior Van
Buren, was staying at the old City Ho-
tel with all his boys except Abraham.
John, always indolent and luxurious in
his habits, never rose in the morning
until the rest OF the family had finished
breakfast and the table was cleared of.
This necessitated special preparations
for the loiterer, involving additional ex-
pense Mr.. Van Buren, demonstrated
without effect, until he became i'm
patient and gave peremptory orders that
no extra breakfast should be provided for
his sol. This produced no change in his
habits He continued his absence from
the table, but was generally prompt ut
dinner Suspecting h.w- the business
was managed, the father called at the
sons room at early hour in the morn
ing, and found John in dressing gown
taking a sumptuous breakfast, and ap-
parently enjoying himself exceedingly.
"This is insufierable, " said the senior,
" and am determined to stop it. You
shall get up at seasonable hour in the
morning and breakfast with myself and
your brothers, or you shall have moth
ing to eat. "
John as calm as a summers morning
listened to his father, but made no re-
ply Turning to the waite he said,
Thomas, ask Mr.. Willard to be kind
enough to step up here"
Mr. Vap Rnran tba alJar too acton oh
ed for speech, remained standing until
Mr.. Willard came up.
"Mr Willard said John, "be pleased
to tell me whose room this is?"
"Yours, sir"
"You expect me to pay for it, do you
not?"
Certainly, sir You engaged it, and
we look to you for pay.
''Then be good enough to turn that
gentleman out. He has interrupted me

that he be removed"
At a fla hionable party in Albany
few years ago, John cody cut one of the
most elegant. aristocratic, and accom-
plished ladies present. She directly
took him to task "John Van Buren,
your arrogance and insolence are intoler
able l will not submit to it, Where you
got your manners ! cannot conceive.
Your father is a perfect gentleman-al-
ways polite and attentive to ladies' Our
families have always been intimate, as
You know and the way you treat me is
rude and insulting. How can you ex-
pect to attain the popularity I'D dis
