No PROFIT in Milking Too LorS.

1t is generally thought best, 50 far
as my knowledge extends, to let dairy
COWS go dry three, or ut least two
months. My own experience would
give three months as about the best
average length Of time cows should go
dry before dropping their calves in the
spring; and this | find best, without
regard to the general health of the ami
NAL or the amount of milk to be pro-
duced the following or after seasons.
Cows that are MIXED too long either
get thin in flesh, and give but little
milk, and that little OF poor quality,
or else require large amount Of nu-
trltious food so keep up good supply
of milk and the animal in good flesh.
My rule is to feed literally as long as
do milk, and when COW gives less than
two quarts of good wholesome milk,
dry her off and lessen the feed. A dry
cow needs but two-thirds the amount
of fodder required by a COW of the same
size which gives milk, so that there is
no present profit in milking too long,
unless dairy products are very high, to
say nothing of the damage by impair
ing the future usefulness of the cow

How Boston Boys Raise Pocket Money,

The Boston boys are wide awake, es-
pecially those who take books from the
public library. There has been sys-
TEN of transfer, by which person tax
ing ont book could hand it over to
a friend, and have the number trans
ferred to the friends card. The boys
have taken advantage Of this, and those
lucky enough to get popular book,
after reading 1t, have transferred it to
another for pay, getting sums varying
from a dime to dollar, according to
the demand for the volume. Some new
books have had high market price,
and been transferred from one to an
other so frequently, that it was difficult
10 keep track, and this has led to rule
prohibiting atransier. Young America
is indignant, and a petition is being
signed asking that the rule be annuiled.

Something's Got to be Done.

BY squall in the Delaware Bay last
week, while sailing in yacht, two young
men were overtaken. At the Nazareth
Methodist Church, on Twelfth street, Phil
adelphia, at public worship they had oc-
casionally been present. From the way
things looked the capsizing of their shall
lop was very near inevitable.
"Bill," said one to the other, "this is u
serious business; can you pray ?"
'"No, can't; I've heard Joe Quinn do
it, and I've listened to Bill Post, but can't
do it myself"
"Well, you can sing 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"
swell, we must do something religious
If you can't pray and can't sing, let's take
up collection"
ITO this Bill consented. In his COM
panion's hat he deposited three pennies,
a corkscrew and broken blade knife. AS
he did this the wind lulled and the shall
lop made successful landing.

M j s ceIIaneous
"Highland Mary's' Grave.

Rev. j. w. Todd, writing of his travels
in Scotland, thus described Greenock on
the Clyde, where lie buried the remains of
Jean Adams, poet, and Mary Campbell,
who inspired poet:
Time and space admit not of sketch of
Greenock's rise and progress Or present
state and trade; but among its memories
and glories are two names that the world
will not let die-Jean Adams, who had
often seen sad departures for the wild
ocean, and warm welcomes of mariners to
their homes, and whose genius wove into
song the thrilling and true souled affections
which she witnessed, if she did not herself
experience it, when she sung "Nae luck
ABBOTT the hoose, when our guild mans
ava )"
els this time to think o wark,
When Collins at the door!
Rax (reacl) me my cloak, I'll to the quay,
And see him come ashore"
A song of which Burns says: "This is
one of the most beautiful in the Scots, or
any other language" Yet little more than
a century since, this child of poetry ended
a life of poverty in the Glasgow poor
house.
Vastly different was the fate of James
Watt, who also sprung from the same spot,
wove hard material into engine power,
and evolved from water and fire a force
that, next to Gods own word, is mighty
in turning the world upside down. The
one of these Greenock BARNS pursued "the
profitless art of poem making" the other
that of invention, which lifted him to
wealth, and gave him world wide fame
But the scene of their birth is still more
sacred, made so by the remains of one who
entered it to die and be inferred there.
The body of Highland Mary-the early
and lingering light. of Burns heart, mould
ers in the corner of Greenock church yard
and whatever shadows gather around his
memory and stain his faith name," hers
is without spot, and the delicious joys
which she enkindled in his soul seem to
have been of the purest and loftiest order
lingering there like the reflection of
glorious sunset when the darkness has set
in and closed him round about. For it
was far off in the days of his brief life that
he tuned his Tyre and sang:
"Wr mony vow and locked embrace,
Our parting fu' tender,
And pledgng aft to meet again,
Wo tore ourselves asuuder.
But o, fell deaths untmely frost
That nipt my flower early!
Now green's the sod and coud's the clay
That wraps my Highland Mary"
The path to her grave is trodden into
hardness by the feet of pilgrims from all
lands; and on the slab that covers her mar
row bed is inscribed the unadorned name,
Mary, with these lines from the poets pen
"Oh Mary, dear. departed shade,
Where is thy place of blissful restl"
All this is less imposing than the Watt
memorial, of the purest marble, and with
its chaste sentence coined by the genius of
Lord Jeffrey but it is more touching, sug-
gestive, stirring. The one has the mark Of
art upon it, the other is full of nature.

This is the way Senator Hendricks
puts it in one of his late campaign speech.
es in Indiana: suppose" said the Senator,
that as am going to be elected Governor
in October, some citizen should present
me with his best blooded Eorse. You
would think that queer. Yes; but if I
were to accept that horse you would think
that queer, but if were to appoint that
man to a judgeship, you would say that
meant business from the beginning. Now,
suppose that was to occur four times in my
office, how many voters do you expect /
would get in Jacksonville after having re-
ceived those gifts and rewarding the do
nor ?"

THE RAINY DAY.

BY Ii. w. LoNGFELLow.
The day is cold, and dark, and drcary;
1t rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the Wondering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark and dreary;
1t rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the Wondering past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary
Be still, sad heart and cease repining
Behind the cloud is the sun still shining
Thy fate is the common fate of ALL
Into each life some rain must fall,
So also! some days must be dark and drcary.

SKILLED LABOR

Skilled labor is everywhere in de-
1nand. but with SO many com b1na-
tions against the employment of ap-
prentices, and so many mechanics
and trades unions encouraging this
war upon the employment of boys,
there is no opportunity to teach
Young men trades, and when they
are tanght, the teaching is rather
superficial than practical or beneti-
cial. Educated mechanics are as
necessary as educated lawyers, doc
tors. or ministers. but in these days
there are ten bOtcheS to one skilled
workman understanding profession
from which he expects tirst-claSs
wages. even with his tenth rate capa-
city It is now only the few mocha
MICS, with good minds and good Will
who choose TO lead in their profes-
sion. Employers are often at fault,
of course. in not understanding the
work they lead in. but with combi
nations in every work room against
apprentices, and for giving lSnot
rance the same rewards as skill, EN-
plovers see no encouragement to I'm
prove their establishments. W orse
than this. labOTerS every now and

work, which they have a perfect
right to. and resisting the interests
of their employers by combinations

those who choose to work for what
they can get. or what they can earn,
or what their uuskilled labor may be
worth. These not only take the law
into their own hands. bu. resist a
class of persons certainly having
lust as good rights as themselves.
Bv-and-bv we trust that both en-
ployers and employed will come to
a better understanding as to the
rights and duties OF each party If
not. we may expect to see, except
with a few, skilled labor almost a
thing of the past. Parents and guar
dians must take part in this reform
by riding their sons and daughters
a better education than usually falls
to the lot of boys and girls seeking
trades. We need more associations
like those in Europe, and especially
in France, for teaching the young
and for hOnoring the genius and
talent of the inventors. In many
manufacturing districts of Europe
the young man or boy seeking a
trade finds open schools for learning
any department of business. There
are lectures, drawings, models, and
With these where there is a will
shere is way to acquire important

fion among us of skilled labor thus
taught in Europe. our country,
which claims to be so far advanced,
would be very far behind all others.
Let us. as American mechanics and
employers, laborers and capitalists.
unite to improve our industry and
do some honor to our country. The
I" trades unions" could, if they
would, start this reform in a way
which would be of immense benefit
to the country, and of no detriment
to themselves. The honor of all |,
trades require something besides
wages and tigAtiag and watching ga
pitalists or employers, important as
these things may be considered.
On the subject Of apprentices and
to non-union men there is
now everywhere a deep feeling
against the unions, which could be
easily changed with more kindly and
lust regulations.

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.

of Rockingham county, Virginia, Appealed 70
one of the employees of thel Knoxville t TIa
Company on last Tuesday week for ald. nc &c
person who was appealed to is young man VI

miciled. told very straightforward story
about being engaged in Chicago in the gas
fitting" business and that he was ruined in the
late fire He seemed to be very honest de-
serving young man, Judging from his conyersa-
ton and other appearances. He started out
last Thursday, as he said, in search of employ
ment and returned in a short time stating that
he was to report on Monday Q8th) TO Mr..
Moore at the Virginia and Georgia depot,
claiming that he had obtained the posi-
ton of Special Freight Express Agent
on that road. On the strength of this. be
borrowed, Monday morning, his hosts best
pants, shoes, and shirt and for the day APP
peared to be away attending to his duties: But
unfortunately, a confidential clerk OF Mr..
Moores happened to reside near Carriers st OPP
ping place, and through his family, this young
gentleman Carter was unmasked. When he
returned Tuesday evening, they charged him
with his duplicity, but the brass that had car
ried him thus far, did not forsake him now. He
framed plausible answer, and lntlmatlng that
he would be needed at the depot, when the
freight trains arrived he endeavored to obtain
his hosts overcoat. In this he failed. He then
left, but was traced 10 a drinking saloon near
the depot
He left for parts unknown on one of the night
freight trains carrying off with him what
clothes of his benefactors he had about him.
He is about FIVE feet ten inches high, very much
sunburned, wears his hair parted in the middle,
is rather dignifed, light moustache and goatee.
His eyes are of that Kind commonly denomina-
ted cat eyes. In his address he is very pleasant
converses fuently, and is we'll posted on most
subjects.
He claims to have been on Gen. Fitshugh
Lees staff, showing a confederate commission
in substantiation of his assertions and to be re-
lated to a Missouri Governor.
Unsuspecting people should be on their guard.
His depredations may extend further than mere
ly cheating and robbing the widow and the Or
