FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
In the Nest.

Gather them close To your loving heart
Cradle them ON your breast;
They will soon enough leave your brooding care
Soon enough mount youths topmast stair
Little ones in the nest.
Fret not that the children's hearts are gay,
That the restless feet triH run:
There may come a time, in the by and by,
When you'll sit in your lonely room and sigh
For sound Of childish fun
When you'll long for the repetition sweet
That sounded through each room,
OF another" mother" the dear love calls
That will echo along in the silent halls,
And add to their stately gloom.
There may come a time when you'll long TO hear
The eager boyish tread,
The tuneless whistle, the clear shrill shout,
The busy bustling in and out,
And pattering overhead.
When the boys and girls are all grown up,
And scattered far and wide,
Or gone to that beautiful golden shore
Where sickness and death come never more,
You will miss them from your side.
Then gather them close TO your loving heart
Cradle them ON your breast
They Will soon enough leave your brooding care
Soon enough mount yorth's topmast stair
Little ones in the nest.

Irrigating the Plains.

Generous irrigation is all that is need
ed to turn the arid stretches of the great
plains west of the Mississippi into fer
tile land. The farmers of Colorado
have determined to introduce thor
ough and economical system of irriga-
cation into their Territory, and recently
met in convention to discuss the ways
and means of doing so. 1t was resolved
that general convention of delegates
from all the States and Territories In
terested in the matter should be held at
San Francisco next September. The
resolutions hint ut scheme for Con
gressional assistance like the act by
which public swamp-lands were granted
to States that reclaimed them.

Cause of Senator Summers Divorce.

Mrs. Hooper, says the Minneapolis
Tribune, was Young widow, and young
widows always have an aversion to be-
coming old widows while they are as
much in demand as second hand flat
irons. Moreover, Charles Sumner had
attained fame he was the best constitu-
tional lawyer in America, and had the
best knowledge of foreign affairs +; he
was the pet of the Bay State, and was
one of those happy beings who live to
enjoy the sweet rewards of martyrdom.
So the rich, gay, accomplished, festive,
vivacious, popular young widow went to
keep house and darn stockings for the
unsocial, crusty, conceited old orator.
She didn't do it worth cent. We are
aware that some matters are private,
and domestic secrets ought to be re-
spected bya gossiping press. But there
are none in this case. Neither party
has affected the slightest concealment OF
the situation. So it is proper to say
that neither of them ever saw happy,
or even moderately comfortable, day
after the ill-assorted marriage. 1t was
Milton and Mary Powell over again
Like the fair daughter of the Cavaliers
Mrs. Hooper-Sumner was social anc
hospitable Sumner was aristOcratic
arrogant and domineering. His way
was the only way, except one, indeed
the way where divorces lie. He haugh
tily declined to meet her guests ; refused
to be introduced to her acquaintance
his idea of wife was fair, fond, gela
tenous female, with no will of her own
who should loudly say her prisons t.
him, and treat him like a sacred gravel
image. She failed to see it in that light
and went home to live with Mr.. Samue
Hooper, in Boston, where her lords fai
fame will be very likely to decline hence
forth.

CHE Is BRICK. Many persons
besides school boys and students use
the phrase, "He is brick" without
the least idea that it is supposed to be
one of classic origin. 1t is said that
King Agesilaus, being asked by an am
bassador from Epirus why they had no
walls for Sparta, replied, Eve have"
Pointing to his marshaled army, he
said: "There are the walls of Sparta !;
every man you see is brick.

A POWERFUL signal-light has been
placed on the houses of Parliament,
London. 1t is located over the clock
tower at Westminster, and when in full
blaze has the appearance of pillar of
fire. intensified every few seconds by
brilliant flashes. The light is caused
by the combustion of common street gas
with the oxygen of the air. One of the
important purposes of this light is to
signal absent members when the APP
proach of important motions demands
their presence in the House. 1t is stated
that, in clear weather, the light can be
seen for twenty-five miles.

A LANDED PROPRIETOR IN OREGoN.-Wm.
Kei was tailor at Beichrode, Prussion Saxo-
ny, but emigrated to the United States about
seventeen years ago, and founded German
colony near Portland, Oregon. He set up So
called communistic rule in his settlement, but
as far as he himself is concerned it is thorough
L. democratic. He obtained the land gratis
from the government, cleared of: the timber,
built block house for defence against the L.
dams, planted orchards and built mills, and so
laid the foundation Of prosperous community.
He has some knowledge otmedlclpe, and there
fore is physician to his subjects. lie solemnizes
all the marriages, and thus is their priest.
Every man who comes to the village to live
must put all his money in Keifs hands, and IS
then taken on trial. His probation endures as
long as the sovereign chooses. 1t the candidate
is not found satisfactory he gets back his capt.
tai without interest, but with pro rata share OF
his earnings, which are appraised by hell. Inc
latter holds the common purse and buys all
kinds of supplies, which are furnished free to
the people. He designates everybody's en-
ployment, gives new married couples their
houses, and has everything his own way. lie
has the assistance of Board Of Elders, but
only as far as he chooses. The colonial lands
cover twenty sections, or -, 500 acres, and are
collectively recorded in Keil's name. Should
he die intestate (he is now sixty years old) his
heirs would get all his property and his sub
jects be left out in the cold but it is likely that
he will take some steps to prevent such result:
At all events, the colony is now prosperous and
apparently happy under his dominion, and the
iron hand of despotsm carefully concealed by
the velvet glove
