* The distance between nv

dred miles, and to facilitate matters

rOute-cutting off about seventy miles.
4 company, numbering eighty men,
was detailed for the purpose; and, as
the course led partly through a wooded
region, a considerable squad was re-
CURED to act as ax-men. Three or four
lively black-and-tan terriers accompa-
MED the command, affording no little
amusement by their activity in snap

and other yermin. The abOrigines,
who frequently honored us with their
presence claiming to be q Good Indian,

performances. On certain occasion.
one stalwart fellow, who spoke few
words of English, said to me:

"Cut 'em car, cut 'em tail, make 'um

Certainly; it is because their ears
and tails are trimmed that they go

How Investors Get Ruined in England.

Capital is, indeed, a magic wand
| (savs a writer in All the Year Round)
| that can do nearly everything, but
which it needs a skilled hand to mani
pulate. High interest, in dazzling raj
ment like spangled harlequin, walks
the money market hand in hand with
bad security. Many are found, not I'M
naturally, to run after the glittering
impostor, and to take his tinsel and
| paste jewels for genuine gold and
gems. There are several South Ameri-
can republics, certain gold mining and
railway companies, land companies,
the great Laputa Joint Stock. and the
Golconda Extention, which are always
flashing their ten and fifteen per cent.
before the eyes Of clergymen with some
pounds and mole olive branches, of
the relics of Indian Colonies, and of
the general public.
The temptation is cruelty alluring.
Never did silvery bait twirl more be-
w1tchlngly before a basking pike than
does the bride of two or three extra
hundreds year sparkle before lady
OF contracted income, with three or
four ambitious daughters, and brace
OF sons whom she would like to see
transformed INTO Bishop and a Major
General. She must, she really must,
as she declares with the fIlll consent of
the chorus Of daughters, growing old at
Burlington, and eager to exhibit their
charms on a wider STAGE sell out Of
those stupid consols, and give notice to
leave the melancholy red-briclz house,
and brighten up With increased means.
So she closes up her account with
Britannia, and becomes the creditor
of His Highness the Nawab of
Needleput, or helps the Republic of
Santa Impecuniosa to make war on its
enemies, domestic and foreign For a
time she gets humping dividends.
But when the insolvent Raiah takes
his last dram of opium, or the rebels
succeed in bringing to drumhead court
martial all the legitimate authorities of
the South American commonwealth,
then comes a crash, with unpaid cou
pons, closed shutters, and the ruin of
simple investors
It is not so easy in England now as it
was a hundred years back to find a sure
investment to bring in, say, fue per
cent. on small sums of money.

feed in May and June, wet mess of
shorts or corn and oats can beused pro-
titably, but, if the feed is all green and
fresh, dry mess should be used with a
little hay, to prevent securing.
Every man should be his own Judge
of the feed and the condition Of the
stock, and mess accordingly. He does
not think, if a COW is messed iudicious-
lY, that it shortens the term of her util-
ity. He once owned a COW that he
messed a good deal, and she was a
good COW until she was nineteen years
old. To make improvement he would
not buy pigs or chickens of miller, or
a COW Of man who has kept but one
COW and messed high.
A. D. Hall says he usually messes in
the spring and feeds sowed corn in the
latter part OF summer and fall Thinks
1t would pay to mess through the sum-
mer, if mill feed was not too high and
could be got readily. Sweet whey may
be good to mix with mess, but has
known the milk Of whole dairy spoil

Cows that are properly messed give
more milk in quantity, and better milk
in quality. He spoke of one factory
where they have resolved to mess all of
the COWS the coming season, that they
may get more milk, and that each pat
ron may be equitablY rewarded for

Qu5nsy ira Swine.

A veterinarian writes the Iowa Home
stead that the quinsy is caused by ex-
posure to sudden changes of atmo-
sphere, and that if the animal has been
under the facilitating influence of bad
food, impure water or filthy enclosures,
modification frequently sets in, and
death results in a few hour. He re
commends the following treatment:
When the disease begins with gen,
eral feverishness and hurried breathing,
give from one to four drops of aconi
tu1n, In tablespoonful of water, every
two hours. When, in addition to the
above symptoms, the throat is swelled,
give belladonna in the same quantity,
and alternately with the aconitUm, every
two hours. If the tongue becomes red
and swollen, give in place Of the aeon
lite what viii stand on the half or a pea
OF mercurius iod. Should the throat
turn purple and modification threat
en- to set in, or great weakness super.
vene, give from one to four drops OF
arsenicun, in place Of mercurius
The mercurius iods should be of the
first centesimal trituration, and the
other medicines should be Of the frs
decimal dilution. They may be OBJ
tanned Of any homeopathic physician.

Feeding Bees II. the SPRING

Feeding Bees IN the Spring
a correspondent Of the Bee Keepers
Journal propounds the following ques-
tions for solution:
l. Does feeding in the Spring really
induce early breeding?
2. When is the best time to com,
mence feeding?
B. How much should be fed to each
swarm daily?
4 What feed is best for the pur-
pose?
To which the editor makes the fol-
lowing replies:
l. Yes.
2. In the South, in February fur
ther North in March.
g. About half a pint; or, if the
stock has an abundance of sealed honey
some may be uncapped, or half a gill of
syrup fed daily. If the hives are ont
Of doors, and the weather is warm
enough for bees to fly, the feeding
should be done every evening. Stocks
deficient in honey should have more
than half pint, and feeding must be
continued until a regular supply of
both honey and pollen is obtained.

syrup made of white sugar is excellent.

From off the green shores VIII re YOU stand
And that id the morn I shall waken
Beyond the sad each Of your hand.
I know not: my pulses are sinking,
Like breeZes from languidest cIimes,
And scarce have 1 strength leftfor weaving
Your blessed name into my rhymes
But, Ada, the sound of your raiment.
The stir of your breath in nv hair
The touch of your hand on my forehead
where mOurnfulest mysteries are,
Is enough of the sweetness of living,
o life Of my innermost life!
Enough Of Gods graciousest giving
To hallow deaths bitterest strife.
And, here in the shadows. my darling,
call you no longer my queen,
My poet, with song never written,
MY seraph, with scroll n yer seen
But I name you Beloved of the Father
Crown-i wei. revealing His light
To the feeble the faint, the forsallcn,
Who perish in perils Of night.
And, naming you thus, I am dreaming
OF mornings with melody rife,
When together we two shall be learning
The mystical meaning of life;
Of life, and of love that Outliycth
The tragical terror of Time,
That leaneth low into the darkness,
That soareth where saints cannot climb
Soul to soul we shall wander together.
Through sunshine and splendor-we two
Who have loved in the wild, wintry weather,
In the dark, and the dawn, and the dew!
And SO, in slow whispers, that only
Our God and His angels may keep.

And-naming you thus me sleep.

American poets:
cit is a noteworthy fact that while in

hardly less fertile, either in quality or
quantity, than the mother-country.
England has scarcely more than one or
two living poets whom the common
consent of cultivated men would rank
decidedly above LongfGllow, Bryant,
Lowell and Whittier; no living satirist
superior to the author of the BlgelOw
papers, no master of the special hu-
