Ten Reasons for Draining Wet Land

2. TO lower the permanent water lines

cultivated fruits need to go down, from two
to three feet.
3. To make the soil more porous and n

4. To enable the farmer to start his plow

their best results, which they cannot do

that might be adduced in favor ofthorough-

THE LONG AGO.

THE AONG hGO.
Oh! wonderful stream is the river Time
AS 1t runs through the realms of tears,
With faultless rhythm and q musical rhyme,
And broader sweep and a surge sublime,
And blends with the ocean of years.
How the winters are drifting like flakes ofsnow
And the summers like buds between,
And the yearin the sheaf-so they come and they
60 Afa
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
As glides in the shadow and sheen.
There's magica- isle up the river Time,
Where the softest of airs are PLAYING;
There's coudless sky and q tropical Cline
And song as sweet as vesper chime,
And the roses are always staying.
And the name of this isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms ofsnow-
There are heaps of dust, but we loved them so
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody sings
And part of an infants prayer,
There's Lutte unswept, and Il harp without
strings,
There are broken VOWS, and pieces of rings,
And the garments that she used to wear
There are hands that are waved when the fairy
shore
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear through the turbulent
roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river is fair
Oh! remembered for aye be the blessed isle,
All the day of life till night
When the evening comes with its beautiful smile
And our eyes are closed to slumber while,
May that greenwood" of soul be in sight.

A MUSICAL TREE.-A wealthy citizen OF
New York has mechanical curiosity in
the form of a musical tree. IT is an artif-
cial tree or bush about five feet high set in
a large square tub of Russia leather. 1t
looks very natural and beautiful, every
leaf, sprig, and twig being absolutely per-
feet in the workmanship of copying ma
ture. Touch knob on the side of the tub
and instantly the tree is literally filled with
small birds of every imaginable hue and
color, including those represented in the
rainbow. Each and every bird begins to
sing, and very sweetly, too, their soft
notes blending beautifully in harmony
Touch the knob again and the birds dis
appear mysteriously, to rcoppear whenever
summoned by the pressure Of the little gold
knob.

discovery that the tables of Kepler indicat
ed the near approach of the period of the
transit of Venus across the suns centre
This was about the year 1886.
Often on midsummer nights the boy
Horrox might have been seen in the field.
watching the planet Venus The desire
sprung up within him to see the transit Of
the beautiful planet across the disc of the
sun, for it was sight that no eye had ev.
er seen, and one that would tend to solve
some of the greatest problems ever present
ed to the mind of an astronomer. SO The
boy began to examine the astronomical ia
bles of Kepler, and by their aid endeavor-
ed to demonstrate at what time the next
transit would occur. He found an error
in the tables, and then he, being the first
of all astronomers to make the precise cal
culation, discovered the exact date when
the next transit would take place.
lie told his secret to one intimate friend,
boy who, like himself, loved science.
| The young astronomer then awaited the
event which he had predicted for number
of years, never seeing the loved planet in
the shaded evening sky without dreaming
of the day when the transit should fulfill
the beautiful vision lie carried continually
in his mind.
The memorable year came at last-1630.
The predicted day of the transit came, too,
at the end of the year. 1t was Sunday.
1t found Horrox, the boy astronomer, now
just past twenty years of age, intently
watching sheet of paper in private
room, on which lay the suns reflected in
age. Over this reflection of the suns disc
on the paper he expected, moment by mo-
ment, to see the planet pass like moving
spot or q shadow.
Suddenly the church-bells rang. He
was very religious youth, and was ac-
customed to heed the church bells as
call from heaven. The paper still was
spotless no shadow broke the outer edge
of the suns luminous circle.
Still the church-bells rang. Should he
go? A cloud might hide the sun before
his return, and the expected disclosure be
lost for century.
But Horrox said to himself: 81 must
not neglect the worship of the Creator, to
see the wonderful things the Creator has
made"
So he left the reflected image of the sun
on the paper and went to the sanctuary.
When he returned from the service, he
hurried to the room. The sun was still
shining, and there like shadow on the
bright circle on the paper, was the image
OF the planet Venus 1t crept slowly along
the bright centre, like the finger of the In.
visible. Then the boy astronomer knew
that the great problems of astronomy were
correct, and the thought filed his pure
heart with religious joy.
Horrox died at the age of twenty-five.
Nearly one hundred and thirty years after
ward, Venus was again seen crossing the
sun. The astronomical world was then
interested in the event, and expeditions of
observation were fitted out by the princi-
pal European Governments 1t was OBJ

WOOD ASHES AS A FERTILIzER.-Eyery
farmer knows the value of wood ashes as n
fertilizer, and it is generally supposed that
1t is owing to the potash they contain.
But the fertilizing propeties of wood ashes
are not due to the potash alone, for if all
the potash is leached out of the ashes if is
still good fertilizer, but not us good as
before teaching. What then remains in
the ashes after the potash is extracted
Nine of the ten minerals that ali plants take
from the ground, and require for their sup.
port viz; Soda, magnesia, phosphorus,
lime. Leached wood ashes, therefore, sim.
ply require supply of ammonia, and
the potash extracted return to thems again
to make it one of the very best of concen
trated manures.
