Unknown little stranger, you lie here and

To many with needless. gay tripping feet,
That pass and repass your lone grave with a
sweep,
Meier casting glance at the grass grown
heap.
Do they know that heart so true, pure and
good,
Is buried forever here, meath the cold sod
Do they know of the bright smile thy young
lips wove,
While thinking of Him who did us so love
q, surely not 50 or they could not pass by,
With such fearless and Indifferent eye,
They watched her not as her spirit passed
away,
Down through the dark valleys Of death to
day.
Sleep on little stranger; sweet, sweet be thy
rest,
God has thee with Him, thou art ever blest,
Fear not for the dear ones, if living or dead;
God, He will lead them, as thou vast led.

The Hand that Holds the Bread.

George F. Root, the. eminent musical com
poser, author of ''The Battle Cry Of Free
DOM" and many other national popula
songs, has written and set to music the fol
lowing song, which be dedicates to the farm
ers Of America, in hope that it may minister
to the progress Of the cause in which Ameri
can farmers are 50 rapidly enlistiag:
Brothers Of the plow!
The power is with you,
The world in expectation wait
For action prompt and trus;
Oppressors stalk abroad
Monopolies abound!
Their giant hands already clutch
The tillers Of the ground.
CHORUS.
Awake then awake!
The great world mast be fed,
And heaven gives the power
To the hand that holds the bread.
Yes, brothers Of the plow,
Inc people must be fed,
And Heaven gives the power
To the hand that holds the bread.
Brothers Of the plow,
In calm and quiet might,
You've waited long and patiently
For what was yours BY right;
A fair reward for toll:
A free and open field; 81
An honest share for wife and home
Ofwhat your harvests yield.
oHoRus-Awake then awake etc.
Brothers Of the plow!
Come rally once again!
Come, gather from the prairie wide,
The hillside and the plain;
Now a. in days Of yore,
With trump Of battle sound,
But come and make the world respect
The tillers Of the ground.
cHoRus-Awakei then awake etc.

TREATMENr AND CARs OF Cows. 1t
is Z lamentable fact that SO little atten.
ton is paid to the condition of the
buildings in which We keep our COWS.
Ventilation is something that is fre.
qusntly entirely overlooked. not 90
much, We hope from the inatteution
and negligence Of the owner as from
his ignorance Of its necessity. Warm,
ill-vensllated stables will save food, but
at the expense of the health Of the COW
and the quantity Of the butter. Better
the cold, open barn than the close,
poorly ventilated stable; but there Is
no need Of either. A little study and
application will enable us to remedy
both.

There are orchard plows now in use

the better the ground is prepared and

THE ACTION OF THE PRESIDENT.

Just as we feared and expected, the
President has determined a second time
To overthrow the government of the
r,oplc of Louisiana, and restore the
KELLoGG usurpation. Upon what just
Ground this is done. it is hard to see.
The people of that sovereign State Of our
Union had unanimously risen up TO de-
throne government which was opposed
To- them in every particular. In doing
50 they made no war against the Federal
Union. nor We're they guilty of
even an indignity, to single
L. :. official. Every citizen
was assured Of protection in the
full enjoyment of his lawful rights Busi-
nr,, had been resumed, and matters were
progressing peacefully and satisfactorily
t. every individual of the State except
the thieves who had been plundcrng
and dcspoiling her. here Is the excuse
or Justice in the National Government
thu, interfering with the rights of a
State? In this government of ours to
day, there seems to exist but one idea,
Might makes right The people of
Louisiana must suffer still further Opprcs-
sion and wrong. We sincerely pity
them. But one good will come out of all
this evil. The party who is responsible
for it will be held to a strict accountability
andt national ints 'fel e1ce will hasten
its coming downfall, for it must be APP
parent to every one, that there is estab-
lished, by this action of the President, a
precedent most dangerous to the future of
the Rcpublic.
