LITTLE JESSlE'S DEPARTURE.

The morning at, length came, after seven
days of intense suffering, proceeding from Il
complication OF diseases, any one of which
would have been far too much for one so nat
uraly delicate from birth, viz: scarlet ma
ligna and congestive fever, with adiptheritic
Inflammation of the epiglottis, rendering de-
glutition quite impossible. But the morning
came which was her last. The doctor felt her
pulse which was flint and few and the heart
throbbed under his fingers, and he knew it
waspremontory; but he was anticipated by
darling Jessie's going! O, how can give her
up? How can part with one SO dear9 But
will say, Thy will and not mine be done"
The parents then felt that they had never
loved anything else on earth and never would
love anything again, for she was the sunshine
of their dwelling. No tears of sorrow could
fall upon that little upturned angelic face,
now fast changing to marble. The happy
spirit of the dear lamb was gone. Angels
with noiselesS footsteps had been in waiting
round the bed and in the room and bore her
Triumphant spirit to the throne, dressed in
the habilaments of glory, "where the inhab-
titants never say that am sick - so passed
away from the fond embrace OF parents,
brother and sister and many admiring friends,
without Il struggle groan, our dear little

Novel Duck Hunting.

An ingenious Minnesota youth is to
be credited with novelty in the way
of duck-hunting. He lives at II beau
tiful spot known as Rice Lake, from
the Wild rice growing on its margin as
thick as wheat in field. Ducks love
this rice, and when they have partaken
of a sufficient quantity their flesh be-
comes of nature TO tempt the palate
of an anchorite. But the Rice Lake
ducks, either from experience, or an
instinct which may be said TO be wis
dom intensified, do not like human
company, and when they see n hunter
approaching, generally hasten out of
gunshot range. Dick, the youth BE-
fore alluded TO, was particularly fond
Of ducks, and looked with contempt
upon the futile efforts of his sire to pro
vide the table with this delicacy. He
determined TO have some ducksfor dim
ner il it took all the morning 10 accom-
plish the task. Proceeding to the corn
field, he selected large pumpkin, cut
hole in one end, removed its internal
arrangements, carried il down TO the
shore, Invested himself of his clothes,
placed the pumpkin over his head, and
waded in among the rice, In shor
time the fat and tender pioneer Of I
flock OF ducks approached, aud mag
lining the vegetable to be free ron
guile, encouraged the Others TO follow.
They were partaking of their matutinal
meal, when establishment struck them
at the sight Of the pioneer suddenly
diving NOT that there is anything as
tonishing in duck diying-but this
one dived feet foremost, and neglected
10 come up. A committee of one was
appointed 10 investigate, and approach
ing the pumpkin, suddenly made a
backward dive and was gone. Thiswas
enough for the others. Theyhed indis-
may, henccforth andnumbered rs among
their deadlicst terrors the ingredient OF

Freseo Painting.

Fresco painting is SO called because
executed with water colors upon fresh
plaster. This plaster is made Of Stacked
lime and fine sand, and is applied upon
coating rough enough to make IT
adhere 60 il. The fresco needs a wall
from materials tinctured with saltpetre,
and the colors must he such as the lime
does not change. When the artist has
polished and made very smooth the
surface to be painted, he traces upon it
the previously prepared composition.
The designs, of the size Of the picture,
are called cartoons, because prepared
upon large sheets of paper glued togeth-
or. Upon the damp wall the drawing 10
traced with point of ivory or wood, or
the contour of the drawing is pricked
with pin aud "A tampon dipped in char
coal passed along the lines Of the holes,
which fixes the design on the plaster.
Aftcrward the artist follows the tracing
with sharp pointed pencil or stylus,
and this indelible contour is called the
nail III Mc f. esc0.

BIixed Grasses.

at the annual meeting of the Agricul-
tlural Association, a papef was tedd upon
growing grass. In The discussion which
followed it was remarked that farmers
should be careful to SOW together only
those grasses which ripen at the same
time. This is a mistaken idea. The
chief reason why a variety of grasses
should not be sown is, that there may
be a constant succession of growth
The weakest point of our meadows is
that the grass ripens, fades and sus-
ponds growth for the season. leaving a
brown, withered or bare surface. If
there were succession of tonsedutitely
tlpefilIig GRASSES, there would be Il con
tiiiued greatness and verdure, and if
the pastures were only not over-stocked,
this would be as great an approach as
we can make with our peculiar climate
toward permanently green meadow or
pasture. But if all grasses ripen at
once, we may as well continue TO grow
one single good grass, us several good
and bad ones.

Dark BralInias.

This is one of my favorite varieties,
ard consider them unsurpassed for
all purposes. The great demand for
them is an indication of the high rank
they hold among other varieties. They
are chiefly remarkable for their size,
beauty of form and feather, excellent
flesh, reproducing, extreme hardness
and early maturing, being also better
foragers than any other of the large
breeds.
Their color is such that it isnot soiled
by the dust ard smoke of the town,
and they bear confinement well, and
can be fenced as easilyas pig. Being
so extremely hardy and quiet, they cost
little more than common fowls to keep,
and pay better in eggs during winter, and
as a marketfowl. Itbeing sowell adapt
ed to the farm as well as city quarters,
with its many estlmable qualities, rem
ders this amost desirable breed. Mass.

Take quart of waterand pour slowly
into it pint of sulphuric acid. The
mixture will become quite warm from
chemical action, and this is the reason
why the acid should be poured slowly
into the water rather than the water in
to the acid, and let it remain on the
iron until it evaporates. Then wash it
again. The object is to give the acid
time to dissolve the rust. Then wash
with water and you will see where the
worst spots are. Apply some moreacid
and rub on those spots with brick
The acid and the securing will remove
most of the rust. Then wash the mold
board thoroughly with water to remove
all the acid, and rup it dry Brush it

How 10 keep Eggs Fresh.

My plan for the past eight years has
been as follows: They are gathered
every day, and kept in my house, in a
box of kiln-dried sawdust which is about
one inch thick. They may be kept on
the end or fiat, and care must be taken
to turn them over at least three times a
week. Impregnated eggs will hatch
well if kept in this way, even if they be
two months old. L now have seven
chicks (from nine eggs which were kept
as above, and | am positive they were
over five weeks old when put under the
hen. 1t is necessary to be careful IN
turning them over that they do not get
any sudden jar, as that ofttimes pre-
vents their hatching.-Coy. Rurat Nee
