THE OLD, OLD HON e.

When | long for sainted memories,
Like angel troops they come,
If | fold my arms to ponder
On the old, old home.
The heart has many passages
Through which the feelings roam,
But its middle aisle is sacred
To the thoughts of old, old home.
Where infancy was sheltered
Like rose buds from the blast,
Where girlhood's brief elysium
In joyousness was passed;
To that sweet spot forever.
AS to some hallowed dome.
Lies pilgrim bends her vision
IT'S her old. old home.
A father sat, how proudly.
By that old hearthstone's rays,
And told his children stories
Of his early manhood's days;
And one soft eye was heaming,
From child to child 'twould roam,
mus mother counts her treasures
In the old, old home.
The birthday gifts and festivals,
The blended vesper hymn
(Some dear one who was swelling it
Is with the Seraphim,)
The fond good nights at bed time
How quiet sleep would come,
And fold US all together
In the old, old home.
Like wreath of scented flowers
Close inteltwined each heart
But time and change in concert
Have blown the wreath apart,
But dear and sainted memories
Like angels ever come.
If fold my arms and ponder
On the old, old home.

A YANKEE KING-Since the death
of the King of Sandwich Islands there
has been regency IN the person of
"live Yankee" Hon. Elisha H. Allen,
for some time chief justice of the En-
pire. Mr.. Allen in his early life was
resident of Maine, and for a time was
prominent lawyer in Bangor. although
a native of Massachusetts. In the DAYS
of the Wings he represented his district
in Congress. Failing of are-election he
was appointed Consul to the Sandwich
Islands, and, although soon after super
coded, he chose to remain. By strict
integrity he won the confidence of the
people there, and was elected chief JUS
tice, which position he holds up to the
present time, although now acting as
regent. Should these people desire to
retain their present position, and must
have King, it seems probable that the
royal purple will fall upon his Honor
Elisha H. Allen, and then these Islands
which now are associated with the i'm
mortal name of Cook, are to be associ
ated with the still more immortal name
that of King Yankee Elisha.

MACHINERY ON THE FARM.-We un-
hesitatingly assert that it is not SO much
in general use as it should be. We are
expanding too much human and animal
muscle where metal and wood would
serve better purpose. We 60 without
a machine because it costs 500 or even
less, and employ two men to do the
work which the investment would enable
one man to perform. In so doing we re-
gard the value of the extra man as only
500, and as we so regard him, he is apt
to underestimate his own value, and his
powers to a certain extent lie undevel-
oped or dormant Nor is the laborer
the only suferer-the whole community
is loser; each man has exerted but
half his productive capacity. In the
West there has been more improvement
in this respect, than elsewhere. At the
South the constant cry is more labor,
when in reality the need is more ma
chinery, and more brain to make it a.
valuable. We used to give employment
to the large unpropuctive element in the
South, by introducing manufacturing
machinery. which they may operate And
then We used to introduce machinery on
the farm to make our farm force more
effective.
The pitting of manual force against
steam or water power, or against labor
saving machinery is recognized among
manufacturers as sheer folly; and it is
every whit as much so upon the farm as
in the factory. We only need ebucat-
ing up to the thinking point. to compre-

THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.

An immense congregation, represent
ing Christians of every Evangelical de-
nomination in New York, assembled on
Sunday night in Madison Square Presby-
terrain church, for the purpose of hearing
information respecting the coming Iuter-
national Evangelical Conference to be
held in this city next October. After
the usual devotional exercises, the Pres
ident Of the American branch of the AL
lance, VIM. E. Dodge, opened the bust
ness portion of the meeting with few
explanatory remarks. 1t was arranged
that the Conference should be carried on
from the I'd to the 10Th of October, in
elusive. He hoped the Christians of
New York would make some sacrifice in
opening their houses somewhat earlier in
the season than usual and that the prom
inent and eminent European scholars
who were to come amongst them would
be received with cordiality. 1t was the
first time the Alliance ever held meet
ing in America. and it mi ght not again
take place for quarter of a century,
Great results might be expected from
their meeting. The eyes of the world
would be upon them. The Alliance was
formed for the purpose of uniting Evan
gelical Christians on ground outside mere
UNCONVENTIONAL action. and so use infu
ence in circulating free Bible and pre-
venting religious persecution everywhere.
1t might also prepare the way for united
opposition to the claims of the Roman
Catholic Church in this country.
The Rev. DIR. Schaff, secretary to the
American branch, then gave an account
of his voyage to Europe, and his success
in obtaining promises of attendance from
several of the most prominent divines
and theological writer's of the Old World.
Amongst others of lesser note are the
following: From Scotland, Rev. DIR.
Guthrie, the greatest preacher there
and we'll known in this country through
his writings. His topic will be "The

PLowlNG UNEDR GREEN BUcKwHEAT.
Long experience and close observation
have convinced me that buckwheat. is
the best and cheapest plant known to
turn under to enrich the SOIL Clover is
much better to fertilize land than any
other crop. but it will not grow in poor
land, or if it does grow will amount to
meager crop-not one fourth as much as
buckwheat- consequently not so profta-
bly, adapted to the purpose of promoting
fertility. Buckwheat is only the best
crop because there is no other plant that
will grow so luxuriantly on every poor
soil. In the list of plants to pillow un-

buckwheat and clover, we might name
oats, rye, corn, turnips, &c., any of
which will answer good purpose; but

A DREADFUL DEATH-A man named
Jenkins met terrible death in the great
storm of two weeks ago while journey
ing from Sibley, Mimi. to Rock Rapids,
la He set out with a mail-carrier at
ten o'clock in the morning. before the
storm began. 1t was not long, however
before the binding snow fell thick and

themselves into the hack. Their clothes
were covered with snow, and their hands
and feet were benumbed with cold. In
this way they passed the terrible night.
When daylight came, the horses were
found to be frozen dead. The storm, fal

to sow the prepared seed in the hot earth

SAVING WorD WITHOUT WAw.-
The Scientific American records the
change of the "impossibilities of the
past into reality" Geo. Robinson,
NJ D., of New York: has invented a
mode of saving or cutting wood without
saw or axe, by electricity. The galyan-
ic current when passed over platinum
wire in sufficient quantity heats the
| wire to white heat. This wire thus
heated does the work of saw or axe,
without any appreciable expenditure of
muscular force. By arranging the wires
with handles or other means, by which
it may be guided, any kind of lumber
whether in trees, logs or plank may be
cut as desired. The battery need be
only of the simplest kind, as quantity
not intensity of current is required. A
child by. this means may fell the largest
tree in the forest. divide it into logs, or
cut it into boards, without saw or axe.

"WHEN THE Cows CONE HoME."-
Many of our farmers have wasted years
of valuable time just because they did
not teach their cows to come home at
night. Any one who has lived or trav-
eled in the country will remember the
familiar Co-bos, Co-bos of the farmers
son or hired man, as he endeavors to
coax the COWS from the great pasture.
We have had little experience in these
matters, and we'll remember how many
times we have waded through the
brush and boys looking for the cows.
and, boylike, we thought them very con-
trary animals. But we have lived long
enough to learn better, and now think
that the biped was the more contrary
animal of the two. Boys, we will tel
you secret that will save you great
deal of trouble, and it is this: Every
time the cows are driven up at night o.
in the morning, give them good lick o
meal or brand, and our word for it tn,
cows will always be on hand at milking
time. Besides this, they will give NOR
milk, and forget to kick over the mill
pail, even if you do whistle little to-
loud.-Am. Stock Journoi
