A wanderer found deep green spot

A wanderer found q deep green spot
With shadowy verdire overrun
Low grass, by any CLEAN forgot,
And small young vines whose highest knot
Had seldom seen the sun
And every idle leaf and blade,
Catching At any wind a.tray,
With many mingled murmur prayed
Some breath, beyond the narrow glade,
From the great night and day.
30 that a stir was in the del
As Of a myriad beaten wings,
What tina, with sudden fall and swell,
The captive wind began to ell
A tale Of marve lous thugs.
Spell-bound with rapturous awe, like enc
Within some secret, sacred place,
While up and down his pulses run
As if his heart were played upon,
The liste ner bowed his face.
But fain at length with little will
To plod once more through bush and bricr,
Upon his lips there fingered still
An echo like the haunting thrill
Along the smi,tsn wire.
&c. when he reached the busy street,
The gathered throng about him hung,
Praying the ut,erance complete
Of that new song, go strangely sweet,
That trembled on his tongue.
As best he could he sang to them,
With many false note here and there,
Till even the rose upon her stem
Let fall her dewy diadem
In tremulous despair.
But when tie crowd in rapturous mood
Besought the singer once again,
lie led them to the lonely wood
And all the people silent stood
To hear the magic strain.
The wild sweet melody anew
Sti. red all his soul to smiles and tears,
But nothing heard the gaming crew,
Except o noisy wind that blew
Abcut their open carr.
Then straight besought the tuneless throng,
That scorned the masters instrument,
Its echo in that fret rude song,
And praised and istened, right or wrong
In measurelcss content.
And ever since that lucky rhyme
The world has heard, 1T secondhand,
With many a break Of tune and time,
The strain who-s freshly falling chime
1t could net understand.
But who hath ears to catch the play
OF me ,odies unspoiled by men,
May hear the wandering wind to-day
Chanting the same sweet roundelay
Within the breezy glen.

Why Lace Is Costly.


Many people wonder why what is termed
real lace-as lace made by hand is called,
to distinguish it from that made by ma.
chine, which is called imitation-is SO cost.
ly' The following paragraph from for
eign exchange explains the reason
"The manufacture of lace is carried to
It's highest perfection in Belgium. The
finest specimen Of Brussels lace is so COM
plicated as to require the labor Of seven
persons on one piece, aud each operative is
employed at distinct features of the work
The thread used is of exquisite fiueness,
which is spun in dark, underground rooms
where it is sufficiently moist to prevent the
thread from separating. 1t is so delicate
as scarcely to be seen, aud the room is so
arranged that all the light admitted shall
fall upon the work. 1t is such material
that renders the genuine Brussels ground
so costly. On a piece Of Yalenciennes
not two inches wide from two to three hun
dred bobbins are sometimes used and for
the larger width as many as eight hundred,
on the same pillow. The most valuable
Valenciennes is determined by the number
of times the bobbins have been twisted in
making the ground the more frequent the
twist the clearer and more beautiful will be
the lace. Belgium annually sells of this
lace alone to the value of over "a 900 600.
Chantilly lace is always black, and is used
chiefly for wells and aounces. 1t is very
fine and is extensively worn. Mechlin lace
is made at Mechlin, Antwerp, and other
localities.

Measuring Cattle 10 Learn the Weight.

Some farmers can judge with toerablc
accuracy Of the weight of fat cattle but
presume many Of your agricultural readers
trust to their judgment when they have few
opportunities Of exercising it with regard to
the value Of stock, and consequently the
dealers have an advantage over them. As.
sistance can be afforded farmers, to ascer.
tain the net weight Of cattle by measuring
their bulk or taking their weight.
1t IS not always convenient to have cat
tie weighed on scales, as they may be far
remote from the residence of the seller, and
1t would subject him to great inconvenience
to be Obliged to drive his animals several
miles in order to have them weighed. As
certaining the weight by measuring the
body OF an OK is more convenient meth
cd than weighing, and when the measure
mout is correctly taken, aud the OK of or.
binary size, the result is pretty accurate.
The mode is-measure with tapo-line
from the top Of the shoulder to the tail.
head, which gives the leRgth then meas.
ure round the body Immediately behind the
shoulders, which gives the girtl the length
and grth being ascertained, it is an easy
matter to find the weight in this wise
multiply the square Of The girh in inches
by the length IN inches, divide the product
by 7344, and the quotent is the weight de.
sired, in stones "a stone is II pounds).
For example, the grth is I feet, equal
to 81 inches the length is feet, equal to
60 ineh,s. Square the girth in inches, and
you have 1856; multiply by the length il
inches, 60, and you have 423, $50; divide
by 1874, and the quotieut will be 81 stone,
5 pounds, equal to SOC pounds, which will
vary little from the true weight of the OK
when dressed Accurate measuring would
be easily acquired, and the result would
ever be correct were the form of the OF
always perfect--which it seldom is.
The conditions are also very various
judgment must be called into exercise t.
make allowances for these differences wheI
the iorequarter seems heavier than the hind
the line should be extended nearer the heaC
than the exact top Of the shoulder and S,
when the hindquarter is heavier than th,
fore, the line should be stretched littl
beyond the head of the tail.
Like everything else, it will requir
some experience to insure accuracy.

How TO Failen a Horse.

To fatten a horse that has fallen of in
flesh is sometimes a tedious business--in-
deed, the work Of months. The following
suggestions to accomplish it, however
though without paternity, look to Us o..
wise and to the purpose Many good
horses devour large quantities of grain and
hay and still continue thin aud poor; tho
food eaten is not properly assimia,ed II
the usual food has been unground grain aud
hay, nothing but a change will effect any
desirable alteration in the appearance OF
the animal. In case oatmeal caunot be Oh.
tanned readily, minglc a bushol Of FAX seed
with a bushel Of barley, one Of oats and
another bushel Of Indian corn, and let q,
be ground into a fine meal This will be %
fair proportion for all his food Or the
meal, OF the barley, oats aud corn 10 equal
quantities, may FIRST be procured and one.
fourth part Of oil cake mingled with il,
when the meal is sprinsled on cut food.
Feed two or three quarts Of the mixture
two or three times daily, mingled with %
peck Of cut hay aud straw. If the horse
will eat that greedily, let the quantity be
gradually increased until he will eat four
or six quarts at every feeding, three
times a day. So long as the animal will
eat this allowance, the quantity may be In.
creased a little every day. Avoid the
practice Of allowing horse to stand at q
rack well filled with hay In order to
iatten a horse that has run down ia flesh,
the groom should be very particular 90
feed the animal 10 more than he will cat
up clean and lick bis manger for more

will give you a solid piece Of meat, from
which very thin slices can be cut, which
will prove decided relish to the most fas-
I tidious.
Cabbage is considered in many houses a
| forbidden indulgence, because the odors
which arise from its cooking are so obnox-
ious, but If these directions arc followed,
there will not be much if any complaint
Quarter the cabbage the night before it is
required, and remove the hard stalk wash
it well, and cut into small pieces Next
morning change the water, and when ready
to cook, skim out the cabbage into a large
pot Of boiling water, with a small teaspoon
iul Of saleratus added to il. Boil steadily
for forty or fifty minutes, but take care
that the water does not boil over upon the
range or cooking stove for tiis is one Of
the chief causes Of the disgusting odor
which fills the house
II you are cooking corned beef at the
same time, after skimming it thoroughly
you can add pint Of the liquor in which
it is boiling to the cabbage, as some like
the meaty flavor, and if there is no beef
liquor at hand, piece of beef suet will
answer the purpose but cabbage should
never be boiled in the kettle with sailed
meat, as it spoils the flavor Of both.
When the cabbage is so well boiled that
it will easily mash with a knife, skim II out
into a colander, and press out all the water,
and season it with butter, salt aud pepper.
Prepared in this way, cabbage really be-
comes an Inviting dish, and is a very healthy
one, but because it has so often been badly
cooked, it has fallen into disrepute.
If you prefer to have the cabbage more
in shape, it can only be halyed, and the hard
stalk cut out; then tie it up in a piece
Of coarse muslin, and boil for one hour,
always putting itinto boiling water at first
Cornod beef can be pressed into mould
by boiling down a small quantity of the
liquor in which it was cooked, and season.
ing it highly with spices and herbs. Then
cue the meat into small strips, lay them
into blanc mango mould and turn the liquor
over them. A grated lemon with the juice
will add a pleasant favor to the Jelly.
When turned out Of the mould, garnish it
with sprigs Of parsley or celery and slices
Of hard boiled eggs.
