SPRING CLEANING.


BIZ sUFFEEKR.
The melancholy days have come, the saddest Of tn,
year,
OF cleaning paint and securing noOrs and securing

Hesped in the corner OF the room the ancient dir
lay quiet,
Nor mp at the fathers tread, nor to the chill
dreus riot;
But now the carpets all are up, aud from the stair
case top
The mistress calls to man and maid to WELD the
broom and mop.
Where those rocms those quiet rooms, the house
but now presented,
Wherein dwelt, nor dreamed of dirt, cosy and
contentedl
suite of rooms,
With sops, and suds and soap, and Saud. and tubs,
and pals. and bsoOms,
Cha Ers tables, sJands standing round at skies
and at sevens,
While wife and housemaids fly about like meteOrs
through the heavens.
The parlor aud the chamber floors we're cleaned q
week agos
The carpets shook, the windows washed, as all the
neigbbors know;
But Still the sanetSm had escaped the table piled
with books,
Pens, ink and paper all about, peace in its very
looks;
TIL fell the women on them all, as falls the plAeue
on men,
And then they vanished al away, books. paper, ink
and pen.
Ind now. when comes the master home, a. come he

Why MIR. Greeley Should Not
be Supported for the Presi-
doncV.

dency.
After giving many potent reasons
why Mr.. Greeley should not be
elected to the Presidency of the
United States, the New York Post
Of Saturday concludes an editorial
as follows:
The last objection to Mr.. Greeley
which we shall here mention is the
grossness of his manners. General
Grant is sometimes complained Of as
not filling the Executive chair with
the decorum and dignity which
properly belongs to the place; but
his deficiency in this respect is the
deficiency of one not accustomed to
polished society, giving little heed
to certain conventionalities which
really become the high sphere he
moves in, but he is never bearish or
brutal, as Mr.. Greeley so often is.
These are some of the objections
which will occur to thoughtful men
when they hear of Mr.. Greeley's
nomination; and allowing these
the weight which they fully deserve,
we must advise our readers to refuse
the nomination their support.
With such a head as is on his
shoulders the affairs of the nation
could not, under his direction, be
wisely administered; with such
manners as his, they could not be
administered with common decor
um; with such associates as he has
taken to his bosom they could not
be administered with common in-
tegrity.

A Swedish paper publishes the
story of a man, who recently died
of the smallpox at the village of
Kettilstad, and confessed before
witnesses that he, with several ac-
completes, started the fire of Chi
cago. This will do something with
some people to relieve Mrs. O'Lea-
ry's COW of an unpleasant share of
Immortality.

The following from the Chicago
Post is pointed enough to deserve
re-printing:
'Mr. Greeley will be known to
history as the Great American CO.
operator. He co-operated with the
South to dissolve the Union, with
the rebels to win Bull Run, with
Lincoln to take Richmond, with
Chase to beat Lincoln, with JEFF
Davis to escape punishment, with
Tammany to save Oakley Hill, with
American manufacturers to secure
protection, with the Free Traders to
ruin American manufacturers, with
the Republicans against Trumbull,
with Trumbull against the Republi.
cans. He is now cooperating with
the Democrats to beat Grant, and
by July will probably be co-operat.
ing with Grant to beat the Demo.

"what were insects created fort don't seey'
was the interrogation and exclamation of q far
mer to us once, when they were destroying his
wheat, and his boys were shooting every bird
that apperred on his farm. Shall We tell you
what we told hint They are the natural food OF
the fowls of the air-of the birds which sing in
the tree tops, whistle on the fence corners, and
swarm through the grain fields. But our friend
didn't believe it. Calling to one of his boys, who
at that moment appeared with the victims Of his
shot gun swung over his shoulder, he opened the
stomach of the first bird he came to, and found 1t
full of insects, many of which were identified NJ
the pestiferons chinch bugs of which he had been
complaining. second bird was dissected with
q similar result, and the good farmer, convinced
by demonstration, vetoed the use of powder and
shot on his premises.
An now if any farmer wishes, the coming sea-
son. to determine which are his friends among the
birds, let him pursne the same course with such
as he suppOses are his enemies. Shoot, dissect,
and satisfy yourself as to the mission of the birds.
We believe, in most cases, the birds will take
care of the insects if the farmer by right cutiva-
ton removes the causes of extraordinary prOpaga-
ton. Adequate drainage Of land is one of the
chief preventives of predatory insects. Extrordi-
nary heat, with an excess of moisture, often does
in few hours what birds cannot undo. But such
are exceptional cases.
But our object in the outset was to talk of the
relations of the birds to the insect few weeks
ago, we urged the use of the scalpel on the farm
in the location of the diseases of domestic animals;
We now urge its use in determining what birds
are the friends and cooperating aids of the far
mer. The knowledge that the farmer may gain
by such investigation he will value and appreciate.
and it will do him more good than the written
say-sO of anybody.

Lit out, baby and all, just as 1 was. After rum
ming few rods, Icame to the sand bills, and laid
the baby down in the first water conrse. piled
mp some buffalo chips beside it, and thus left it
supplied with wood and waterfall had-and
knew it was safe, because the Indians hadn't lost
any baby. After that commenced to run, and
very soon got scared. tell you made power
fnl good run, and didn't stop till struck the

yards long, nearly two high and one wide, and the
construction, as well as that Of the prison. is OF
the large blocks Of tufa. usually called in Rome the
walls Of the kings, the same as that of the earliest
part Of the Cloaca Maxima- The excavation Of
this passage has been tedious, difficult, and ex-
pensive work, and hope it will be duly appreci-
ated by the subscribers. 1t clearly settles anoth-
