Farming I'm TucI,nhoe.

We had the pleasure last Saturday of meet
ing a few of the wide awake farmers of the 10th
district. 1t does one good to see the good peo-
pie Of that loyal old district enjoying such
beautiful crops and the prospects of an easy
winter. We found the Mcssrs. Trent formerly
of Virginia, quite largely engaged in the cui-
ture Of tobacco They have tried it success
fully and are satisfied it pays. We saw several
fields of thrifty plants. They propose this fall
to try manufacturing it.
We saw on Mr.. j. b. Derieux's farm a large
well-fled ice house, built entirely above
ground, with most OF his winter ice still pre-
served. He has hundreds of thrifty fruit trees
and the best of stock He is one of our pro-
gressiye farmers. and is doing a great work in
showing that such farmers can make the most
money.
Squire A. C. Z. Callen shows in his home and
family what can be made of country home in
that beautiful valley. With an abundance of
every thing to make home comfortable, and
wish an active interest in public schools, he is
doinga good work in his neighborhood. In
farming, as well as politics, old Tuckahoe
stands in the first rank of our civil districts.
Messrs. Chaneberry, Davis, and Douglass
have our thanks for favors.

HOME CIRCLE.
Written Expressly.for the Sunday Chronicle
.oF THE PERIOD"
BY FANCHoN.

Just swelye months ago tsub rosa, you know,
This confession. so don't think it bold
You were to me then, the most handsome Of
men,
A sort Of Apollo of old.
Bat really,you know, that's twelve months ago,
And year gives one time to forget,
One scarce can remember, from June to De-
cembor,
at whom one last made dead set"
I then wore your ringt beautiful thing,
{ 4 cluster Of diamonds, you know
I almost regret that one must forget
For my rivals did envy me SO.
The first time we met, Il remember it yeti
l wore maize silk with a train,
That awkward young Blight tore the trimming
that night,
and never could match II again.
But its over at last, this dream of the past,
We lost what we ne'er can regain,
But with all of your faults, you really could
waltz
Far better than most Of the men.
All whom can we trust our hopes turn to
dust,
Atthe touch Of the fre-brand of Fate,
And that horrd old Brown, with his odor of
town.
Multiplied your poor thousands by eight.
You few in rage and sneered at his age,
Of course, when told you the TRUTH
That in spite of my love, there were. motives
above,
And more serious in marriage than youth.
It's 80 solemn to say, one will love and obey
Through poverty, sickness and health
And duty you know, would be, horrible slow,
Without the sauce piquante Of wealth.
So We threw up the game, before it grew tame
and our anguish at best was but brief
For diamonds and Fate, have a comforting
weight,
Agains: hearts and lile-lasting grief.

The Narrow Gauge Cars.

The Missouri Democrat says that the
cars used on the Denver and Rio Grande
Railway are perfect little palaces, and fully
as comfortable as the more cumbersome
coaches of the broad gauge roads. The
stills are only twenty-four inches above the
rail, making the centre of gravity very
low hence the cars ride exceedingly
steady and with less lateral or oscillatiDg
motion than is usually observable upon
the broad gauge. The seats are arranged
double on one side and single on the other;
one-half the length of the car having the
double seats on the right, and the other
half having them on the left, 50 as to dis
tribute the weight equally.
The single seats are 10 inches wide. OF
long the double, 80 inches the aisle, II
Inches. If found advisable there can bt
noserious objection to increasing the width
OF the car to eight feet, making the single
seat 22 inches, the double seat 80 inches
and the aisle "a inches.

Wedding Rings.

Il wonder why they always make we'd
ding rings of plain gold ?n asked one of
our pretty lady gossip readers the other
day. Don't knOw-Ill try to find out, y
said our gossip man. An old scrap book
gives reason-and here it is:
a lady, once, whose love was sold,
Asked if a reason could be told,
Why wedding rings were made of gold;
! ventured thus TO instruct her:
Love and lightning are the same
On earth they glance, from heaven they came
Love is the souls electric flame
And gold its best conductor.

4 farmer, who has passed innumerable
sleepless nights, immortalized himself by
discovering a method of keeping babies
quiet. The mode Of operation is as follows:
As soon as the squaller awakes, set it up,
propped up by pillow if it can not sit
alone; then smear it's fingers with thick
treacle; then put half dozen feathers, in
TO its hands, and it will sit and pick the
feathers from one hand 10 the other until
il drops asleep. AS soon as it wakes again
treacle and more feathers, and in place OF
the Notwithstanding yells, there will be
silence and enjoyment unspeakable.
