The Power of Love.

Here is a little story which illustrates
the great power of love. A kind Chris
tian lady, in one of her visits of charity,
found poor, destitute little orphan girl,
and brought her to her own house. The
little stranger at first would take no COM
fort, but sat down weeping in the hall.
The children of the house endeavored 10
make friends with her and draw her into
the parlor, but they could not, and so
they said to their mother: "She will not
come and play with us. She will not
leave the hall"
'sThere is a secret" said the lady, "by
which you can bring her where you like.
1t is secret in four letters. Try if you
can find it out"
The eldest sister took the lead, search
ing eagerly among all her prettiest play
things. Il know what it is" cried she;
''it is doll" So she brought her best
doll, and offered to give it to the child, if
she would come into the parlor. No; it
was a failure.
The next in age said 10 herself, 'sMuff
is spelt with four letters" and brought
her fine muff-a Christmas present; but
she would not touch the muff or even look
at it.
Grace, the youngest, could think of
nothing worth offering after this, but
stood looking on in sorrow, until at
length, following an instinct of her own,
she sat down beside the little stranger
and cried, too. Then presently she took
her by the hand, and encircled her neck
with her own tiny arm, she drew the
weeping head softly nearer and nearer,
and imprinted a gentle kiss upon her
cheek. This decided the battle. There
was nothing said, but Grace soon led the
way into the parlor, holding her captive
by the hand.
"well, girls" said the mother, ''Grace
has found out the secret, and the four
letters are LOVE. Love is the strong
est rope in the world-even God will fol-
low when you draw with that"
Ali yes, love is a great power. 1t
draws all things TO itself. 1t drew the
Son of God down TO earth to die for us,
and led Him back to heaven to intercede
for us; and is able to draw Him down
again, any day ard every cay, to dwell
with us in our hearts. 1t will draw down
answers to all our prayers.-Rind Words.

that he did not take potatoes for board at

The result of all this is, l order potatoes

never eat them, for know better.
Now, am n matter of-fact man, and
generally tell the truth, for it is we'll

FREDDY AND HIS PONY.

Freddy Barlow had 40 brothers or
sisters for playmates; but he had little
pony, of which he was very fond The
pony's name was Bijou, which is the
French for Jewel. Ask some of your
friends who have learned French to tell
you how to pronounce it.
Freddy thought Bijou rare jewel in
deed, and felt as proud as king when
mounted on his back and Bijou seemed
to take pride in doing his best when in
the service of his young master.
Bijou was very smart, and had learned
some funny tricks. If Freddy walked up
to him, and made bow, he would return
the civility in the most polite manner
and, when Freddy offered his hand, Bijou
would raiso his foot,-always his right
foot,-and allow it to be shaken. But
the funniest thing of all was his trick of
laughing. Horses do not often laugh
but, at Freddy's command, BUou would
open his mouth wide, and display his
upper teeth in a most expressive smile.
1t was sad day for Freddy when he
was told that he would have to part with
this wonderful pony; but MIR. and Mrs.
Barlow being about to travel abroad,
their place, and all that belonged to it,
were sold and Freddy was sent to school
in distant city.
When he had become acquainted with
his new schoolfellows, he never tired of
talking to them about Bijou. He used to
look wistfully at all the horses that he
met in his walks, though he never expect
ed to see his favorite again.
One day, however, as he was passing the
gate of a handsome country seat, he heard
a familiar neigh; and horse came bound
ing down the carriage-path. 1t was
Bijou. At the first glance, he had
recognized his master and galloped off to
greet him.
Freddy fairly danced with joy at the
sight of his pet. He and Bijou were hav-
ing a delightful interview, when gentle
man came to the gate, and said, ''How is
it, my little man, that you and my pony
take such fancy to each other: l think
you must be old friends"
Then Freddy told Bijou's story from
beginning to end, and made him 60
through all his tricks; and the gentleman
was so delighted with the performances
that he invited Freddy to come to his
house every holiday, and take a ride
upon the pony.
Freddy did not refuse the invitation,
you may be sure; and he and Bijou now
enjoy their weekly gallop more than can
tell you.-1he NurseTy.

What Practical Farmer Says about
the Potato Bug.

COLONEL D. G. RICHMOND, Represen-
tative in the Ohio Legislature from Erie
County, and member of the State Board
of Agriculture, furnishes the following
facts and suggestions in regard to the
Colorado potato bug:
To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal:
l avail myself, at your request, of the
opportunity of writing short article in
relation to the Colorado potato beetle.
In my hasty report to the House of Rep
resentatives, which is not yet printed, l
wrote what considered necessary and
useful for farmers and others to know,
before the season for them to damage the
potato crop; for I am well aware from
conversation and observation among the
people that many of them do not fully
understand this question.
have spent considerable money and
time, have learned some information from
travel, observation, and practical expert
ence as working farmer, which may be
of some importance to communicate to
the people.
Generally, the first season the potato
bugs make their appearance they do not
attract much attention or do much
damage; in fact few people are aware of
their presence. Here is the first mistake
The people should understand this matter
iuiy anu "aSo wal VI oAtolHiiho.ioh
against them on their first appearance
The next year, IN the month OF June, the
potato growers begin to wake up and find
they have something to do, or lose their
crops, for the bugs will be plenty enough
then.
Farmers should remember that each fe-
male beetle lays 700 eggs; there are three
crops hatched The total amount of one
female Colorado potato beetle in season
is 5S, 100000. The secret of success is to
XIII them early.
In Erie County, where l reside, large
amount OF potatoes Is grown. lntorma-
ton was given to the people OF our county
through the Farmers Club. Although
the potato bugs were very numerous, by
commencing early every potato grower
saved his crop who took care of it; and
we expect to save them this year. In
order to do this there must be concert of
action among the people. They must
fully understand the danger in advance. l
am satisfied from observation that this pest
could be eXterminated in two seasons by a
hearty cooperation of the people of our
State.
We take the common method in our
county of picking, or use two shingles or
a tin pan to kill them I do not like Paris
green; will only use it when overrun with
bugs. 1t is sure and safe remedy if the
| article is good, but the objections are it
will kill our insect friends.
The Colorado potato beetle has more
lives than cat. Fall plowing will make
them grow better; they will live in the
water like ducks, and live without eating
at all.
The female beetles commenced laying
their eggs the 1st of June, in our section,
last year. In six or eight days the larvae

JOHNNPS OPINION OF GRAND
MOTHERS,

Grandmothers are very nice folks;
They beat all the aunts in creation,
They let a chap do as he likes.
And don't worry about education
I'm sure 1 can't see 1t at all,
What poor fellow ever could do,
For apples, and pennies, and cakes,
Without grandmother or two.
Grandmothers speak softly to 'ma's'
To let a boy have good time:
Sometimes they will whisper, tbs true,
Tother way, when boy wants to cllmo.
Grandmothers have muffins for tea,
And pies a whole row, in the cellar,
And they're apt (if they know 1t in time)
To make chicken pies for a "feller-"
And il he is bad now and then,
And makes a great racketlng noise,
They only look over their specs,
And say, "Ah, these boys will be boys.
life is only so short at the best;
Let the children be happy to-day"
Then they look for while at the sky,
And the hills that are far, fer away.
Quite often as twilight comes on,
Grandmothers sing hymns, very low,
To themselves, as they rock by the fire,
About heaven, and when they shall go.
And then, boy stopping to think,
Will find a hot tear in his eye,
To know what will come at the last;
For grandmothers all have to die.
/ wish they could stay here and pray.
For a boy needs their prayers ev'ry night;

Mr.. Greeley i'm Emergencies.

If Mr.. Greeley had been the President
when the shareholders first threatened re-
volt, he would have shown greater weak
ness than that which has rendered Mr..
Buchanan almost infamous; for Buchanan
simply denied the right of the National
Government to coerce State, while Mr..
Greeley maintained that the secessionists
ought to be allowed to go in peace. This
was no hasty and impatient outbreak of
sentiment, but fixed conviction, which
likened their revolt TO that of our fathers
in the revolution. If Mr.. Greeley had
been the President after the disaster of
Bull Run, that temporary success of the
insurgents would have brought about
total surrender of the North. He was so
limp, fiaccid, detected, broken down by
the event, that he lay supine and sprawl
ing upon the floor, with no more stiffness
in him than there is in an empty sack;
and in that spirit he wrote his pusillani-
nous card of the next day, signed III. G..
At a moment when thenation was shroud-
ed in gloom and every manly voice was
lifted to encourage ii and quicken its
recovery, this one voice sounded base
and despicable cry of alarm and retreat
What would have been the effect had the
possessor of it been high in authority?
Again, in 1864, when perhaps the most
delicate anC trying crlsls ol our nlstoTN
had arrived; when the Bourbon Demo
Gratis were near producing a reaction in
the sentiments of the North; when every
thing depended upon the firmness and
consistency with which public opinion at
home supported the efforts of our brave
boys in the field; when Lincoln, Stanton,
Sumner, Grant, Sherman and the whole
loyal community were making almost
superhuman endeavors to give a final
stroke to the rebellion-a stroke which
would bring about not only cessation of
hostilities, but the other glorious results
we have since attained-if Mr.. Greeley
had been the President, instead of Abra-
ham Lincoln, we should have had none
of this patriotic exertion with its grand
fruits, but peddling negotiations on the
Canada frontier with the Clays and San
derses and others, in which emancipation
was to be bought by money, and not won
as "A right-NeIo York Post.

A CORRESPONDENT writing from Zaute,
Ionian Isles, says: my first visit TO the
Church of ST. Spiridione was one of won
der. The wealth of this shrine is some
thing fabulous. The outer coffin con-
tanning the remains of the saint, is of
silver some twenty-five feet in length; the
interior cnair, upon which he is seated,
is composed of gold and precious jewels.
The arched ceiling of the church itself is
entirely covered with pious coverings of
those who have been in some way bene-
flied by their patron saint. Miniature
ships in gold filagree work, arms of silver,
legs, eyes, and every conceivable membero of
the human frame dangle from the lofty
beams-tokens of miraculous cures per-
formed through the instrumentality of
St. Spiridione."

1t seems a brighter blessing
Than bishops or queens,
In her snowy nightgOwn drest,
Standing up to be carest,
Softly lisping in my ear
Pretty words" God blesss you, dear"
They fill my heart with wonder;
OF God what can she know!
She cannot tell the meaning
OF the words that please me so.
Like the church's silver bell,
Winning souls to heaven from hell.
Knowing not what glory lives
In the message that it gives.

That give such Joy to me,

Deity she repeats each word;
But they sink into my breast

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.

WHAT HAS BEEN DUNE.
Well, the States were brought back, the
currency was circulated, the greenbacks
were paid out, the bonds were all over the
world, and the national character was pre-
served; and then we commenced levying
taxes, as we had been forming a system Of
taxation, and it was pretty rough, too. We
took hold of the tariff, and we increased 1t,
increased it, and increased it. We took hold
OF the whole substance of the people inside
of the Government, and levied uponit excise
and stamp acts; and there was not a man,
mandatory, an institution, a corporation,
nor woman, nor anything in the land that
was not taxed. Laughter. We just beat
every nation that ever lived on the globe in
ewing taxation on the people. Applause. J
And TO the astonishment of the whole world
our fair women and strong men smiled and
said, Its all right !" So we trudged and
worried aleng till we got through.
1T is UN-CoN-sTI-TU-TIoN-AL!
