POETRY
The Dance Of the Elves.

BY HIS LATE MAJESTY KING CHARLES OF SWEDEN.
No longer do the suns bright rays of gold ~,
Shoot from the azure vault; far westward rolled,
crimson glory dies; the stars,
Shy and serene, appear;
The curling waves all Silly kiss the shore;
Only from distant hills comes evermore
A sound that jars on natures mood;
The shadowy hight draws near.
Hlrki Is that Necken playing on his reed?
NJ. for the music wells from yonder mead;
The singers the nightiDgales
That haunt the oaks green crown.
Stay! Now the si!very notes ring far and clear;
In light and airy circles swinging near
From the dim coverts of the wood
A troop of elves trip down.
Far over amber fields of summer grain,
And beds of blossoms fed on summer rain
In a nesh joyous Dance mark
Their white feet flash and whirl.
In tufted hedges, throughout all the land,
The merry winds laugh low to see the band
Swing round their king and queen, enthroned
In crowns and robes of pearl
From dews that gently in the twilights fall
hlcn nectar draughts to pledge their queen.
Inc dance grows wild and fleet;
5onSdrawn, vaporous chains through grassy Va'es
IL noats-it soars-it flies DER hills and dales
Fantastic, rapid as the wind
They tread a measure sweet.
Through latticed leaves the wide-eyed moon shines
fair,
The sleeper stars are nodding in mid-ar
As soft, caressing murmurs fill
Each secret forest home.
Far in the east faint purple streaks of light
Begin to pierce the misty veil of night:
The witching sport has vanished like dream
No more the elves dare roam.

AGRICULTURAL.

FARM STEAM ENGINE.-Passing to the
farm of James L. Ingalsbe, though | saw
some blooded cattle in his pasture, 1 was at
once interested in farm steam engine which
Mr.. l. has now had in his service some five
years. 1t is most valuable and useful en-
ploye, as it will unload hay, thresh grain
shell corn, grind feed, cut straw, steam roots
or fodder. make cider, or do anything else for
which stationary engine may be employed
Mr.. i. is planning some further uses Tor it,
some OF which will surprise the public as well
as his neighbors when they hear of it. 1t is
the only farm engine in the town as vet, and
the novelty of such an implement has not only
excited much neighborly comment and inter-
est, but has brought examining committees
from agricultural societies and numerous let
tiers with unpaid return postage, presume)
from many inquiries at distance. The fact
that the owner is well satisfied with it alter

1t was still larger than it is, is the
pest answer that can be given to those
who, under somewhat like circumstances.
contemplate similar investment. Steam
engines are not pl ythings, nor will they be
profitable on farms where there is not plenty
OF work for them; but where there is, and
where there is also careful, enterprislng,
prudent owner to manage them, [ conclude.

APPLES FOR Mich Cows.-The Hartford
Courant gives an account of an experiment
made this fall in feeding apples to milch cows,
by Erastus Ellsworth, of East Windsor Hill.
Conn.,, gentleman eighty-three years of age
large cow, something along in wears.
feeding exclusively on summer pasture. and
producing four wine qIarts daily. was used
ior the first experiment, beginning about
August l, with four quarts OF apples night
and morning. The quantity was increased.
unsll at the end of week she was eating a
Dushel OF the hardest, sourest, windfall an
pies each day. This COW was near the time
OF her going dry, but such was the effect of
the apples as to bring her produce of milk
from Tour quarts to rather more than six
quarts per diem. Another COW, in fresher
mix, yielding eight quarts daily, was then
put upon ration of apples. At this time
MI Ellsworths cows had been running sew
erai Gays IN rowen feed, which would natur-
ally help flush the milkpail Yet upon the
top OF TINS succulent pasture the second COW
was brought, when upon her full rations of
apples half bushel night and morning
TO regular daily yield of twelve to fourteen
quarts OF milk. ALI Of these cows, five in
housekeeping one-would have eaten
more apples if they could have got them
Iaat one was younger and smaller, though a
good-sized heifer. Half bushel was found
TO De as many and sometimes more than she
could manage at one feeding. The butter
made from milk was first rate and there had
not been noticed the least symptom of IN
ehects OF the apples on the coWs.''

through the ordeal its cold msts and insalubrious
gales with easy stomachs, and untormented by the

to tone and strengthen the digestive organs with
healthful and effective vegetable invigorant and no

ALittle Romance from Colorado.

About thirty years ago young man
was betrothed to girl in England, but
subsequently the engagement was bro
ken. He afterward married another
woman, had children, lost his wife and
came to Greeley. On Monday morning
an old man with staff was at the depot
on the arrival of the train from the
East. An old lady, Miss Dean. stepped
from the cars, and inquired for Thomas
McDowd. The old man knew him, and
would be happy to carry her baggage to
Mr.. Childs, where he was stopping.
She said that McDowd was expecting
heI, and she was sure she would know
him, for he was an old acquaintance.
On arriving at the house, the old man
asked if she was certain that she would
recognize her friend. "Of course
would" "Well, Marie, l am the
one you are seeking" Just then Jus
tice Childs came in, and the lovers
were married after thirty years of wait

Means What He Says.

Though combinations strong as
proofs of Holy Writ" and as numer
Gus as the sands on the sea shore, were
produced to prove that DR.. Pierce, the
proprietor of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy, is in earnest and means what he
says, when he offers $500 reward for
any case of Catarrh which he cannot
cure, yet there would be some skeptics
and fogies who would continue to shout
" Hunbygl !" "HUMBUG y Z" 1t cannot
be, because DR.. Homespun says Catarrh
cannot be cured" Now, this DIR.
Homspun is the Identical, good natured
old fellow who honestly believes and
persists in declaring that this earth is
not round or spherical, but fat as a
slap; jack" and does not turn over,
otherwise the water would all be spilled
out of Deacon Bascom's mill pond. But
astronomical science has positively de-
monstrated and proven that DR.. Home
spun is wrong in supposing this earth to
be fat and stationary, and medical sci
ence is daily proving the fact that he is
no less mistaken and behind the tim es
in regard to the cura bility of Catarrh.
In short, il has been positively proven
that this world moves and that medical
science is progressive-the opinion of Dr.
Homespun to the contrary notwith
standing. That DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy will cure Catarrh, thousands
who have used it attest.
Then buy it. and use it, in doubt do not stand.
You will find it in drug stores all over the land.

How Cattle are Raised in Texas.

In Texas the stock. owners and drovers,
as general thing, let their cattle roam
pretty much at will upon the plains, and
brand upon the animal represents the
title of ownership. The advertising
columns OF paper published in. a stock
region OF that State are curious study,
as they are principally taken up with
the descriptions of the various brands
in use, each owner, of course, laying
claim to all animals that wear his pecu-
liar mark. You often hear Texans
speak of Maverick cattle. The term
Maverick is applied to all animals that
have neitIer mark nor brand upon
them, and originated in this way: Long
age, an old citizen of San Antonio, COL
). A. Maverick, placed upon an island,
in Matagorda Bay, small herd of cat
tie, but, being absorbed in other bust
ness, he forgot all about the herd until
years afterward, when he learned from
some gentleman that the cattle had in
creased to such an extent that the island
would hardly provide them sustenance.
This" to quote an authority, brought
the matter to his recollection, and he
Immediately dispatched men to get
them off, and bring them up the coun-
try. They were in a state of nature
very few of them had ever seen a horse,
and rarely ever human being. They
were, with great diffiulty, driven across
the shallow bay, and through the
marshes adjacent, and finally reached
the main land, but from some misfor-
tune, either the desertion of the hands,
or the stampede of the cattle, they got
away and dispersed themselves over a
limited section of the country. An
other set of men were now sent to
gather up the cattle, who claimed every.
thing without mark or brand to be
Mavericks Of course he never got
them all, but among the lot that finally
reached the Salado, five miles from San
Antonio, were eight hundred bulls
This becoming known to stockmen and
others, and the calculations they would
make for him as to how many ranches
he could start, how many cows he must
have the priceof bull beef, and whether
he threw in the hide and horns, nearly
ran the old gentleman to the verge of
distraction. We never knew how he dis
posed of these bulls the last we heard
of them, he was telling Mr.. Martin, s
newcomer from Tennessee, For Gods
sake, help yourself to all you want" II
grazing cattle in Texas, the herd anC
camp are moved from spot to spot, al
the grass is cropped down, and many
of the herdsmen have no conjunction
ofconscience in regard to selling anC
holding as their own all the Mavericks
or unbranded cattle that they can find
