ONE WAY TO STOP CRYING.-Mrs Diaz
tells II comical story of two twins who
looked so much alike that the neighbors
could not tell which was Jimmy and
which was Johnny, and so called them the
g Jimmy Johns And this is the account
of one of their ways:
When the Jmmies were little toddling
things, just beginning to walk, they were
constantly falling down, tripping over in
their cradle, humping their heads togeth-
er; and Mrs. Plummer found that the
best way to stop crying at such times was
to turn it into kissing. The reason of
this is very plain. In crying, the mouth
flies open; in kissing, it shuts. Mrs.
Plummer was wonderful woman She
found out that shutting the mouth would
stop its crying, and to stop the mouth she
contrived that pretty kissing plan, and at
the first sound of bump, would catch ur
the little toddlers, put their arms around
each others necks, and say :. Kiss johnny,
Jimmy! Kiss Jimmy, Johnny" 1t was
enough to make any body laugh to see
them, in the midst of crying spell, run
toward each other, their cheeks still wei
with tears, and to see their poor little
twisted, crying mouths trying to shut W
into kiss!

ONE FLIGHT.


1 wished for the wings of a bird to fly
Into the blue heights of the sky.
Sudden 1 sprang from the scented grass;
saw tall trees like flower stalks pass.
The clouds above me greater grew
That had scarcely before obscured the blue.
Then lost seemed in great gray mist,
No sight to look to, no sound to list.
Up and up, till the wide, wide sky
Burst like an ocean my eye.
stayed my flying, and hung a-poise;
No echo reached me of earthly noise.
1 hung DER the head of the cloud below,
Soft as a hilltop heaped with snow.
1 gazed on the blue heights me,
And felt for a moment was free.
was free to fly where l would in space;
My thoughts were free from the worlds worn face.
moment the thought of freedom won
Thrilled me- turned to greet the sun.
Ahl like great red ball he lay
lard at the henceward gates of day.
E'en,asl gazed the portal ope'd,
And fainter and fainter the great rays sloped.
He was gone, and fear came over me;
1 thought no more of the joy to be free.
But thought of the night, of the dark and the Chi
Of the long, slow hours, the voiceless still.
Above was the desert sky unknown;
Below cloud seas; here was alone.
Lonely felt, as when children wake
In the night and cry for the terror's sake.
And 1 cared no more for the wings to be free,
SO that the dear earth might see.
Downward, downward, now closed the cloud,
Glimmering and chill as dead mans shroud.
An hour moment ?-Lo the earth lay bare,
In the W hite moons rising radiance fair.
world of shadows, with nothing ceaI;
world of darkness, but oh, how dear
Downward, downward; the moon on the yane
Cleans bright; lol light in window pane.
1 touched the ground; its scent knew;
kissed the grass, bent damp with dew
My wings were gone, was free more
But gone were the vain wishes felt before.
And Ikne.t, while my thanks went Zip to God
For the love that binds man to the sod.

THE ROBINS NEST.

The climbing roses on the porch
Bear the sweet promise of the Spring,
And shyly on the passing breeze
The homage of their fragrance fling.
The rivulet has burst its bonds,
And, glorying in its new found power,
Carols the joy of freedom gained
To springing grass and tender flower.
A robin twitt'ring on the bough,
Says to his mate,-" Love, let us fly
And seek soft lining for our nest
Where warm our little birds may lie"
The young wife sits upon the porch,
And busily her distaf plies;
The while she thinks upon her babe,
And gently murmurs lullabies.
When through the open cottage door
A little wall the mother hears,
She hastens to the cradle side
To sooihe and quiet baby's fears.
Unheeded, on the messy step
The well-used distafr lies;
The robins from the garden-wak
Watch it with longing eyes.
They hop a little nearer now,
Then, listening, raise their heads,
Till, DER the distaf lowering close,
They snap its flutfering threads.
The housewife, stepping on the porch,
Takes up her work once more,
And little thinks two pretty thieves
Have robbed her thrifty store.
And vet her lullaby to night
Would be more glad, l ween,
Could she but peep between the boughs
And see what might be seen.
Hidden by apple blossoms pink,
Is built robins nest
With lining soft of hair and down,
Where birdlings i've will rest.
And twisted IN with wondrous art.
And dreless, loving toll,
See in the middle of the nest,
The distaf7s flaxen spoil.
None the less soft for little birds
Will be the pretty bed,
Because human mothers thoughts
Are woven with the thread.

DRAWING SCREwS.-tew things, says
an exchange, are more vexatious than OBJ
stinate screws which refuse to move,
much less to be drawn out; and in the
struggle against the screw driver power
suffer the loss of their heads, like con-
scientious martyrs, rather than take a sin
gle half turn backward from the course
they have followed and from the position
they have been forced into. Like obsti-
nate children, they mast be coaxed, or
raped pretty hard on the head, according
to circumstances; in fact, whoever has a
tight, obstinate screw to "draw out, -
must keep his temper down and his reso-
luton up quite as much to the sticking
point us the screw does. If the screw is
only necessary to clear the head with the
wedge of the driver, and let a few drops
of oil penetrate to the threads but, finding
that excessive heat or rust has almost
fixed the screws immutable, then heat,
either by placing al piece of hot iron upon
it OF directing the flame of the blow pipe
upon the head, and after applying little
oil, turn out gently; but care must be
taken not to let the tool slip so as to dam
age the notch. If, however. the screw
refuses to come out try to force it back
with u blunt chisel, smartly but carefully
tapped with light hammer; but if evil
IDENTIFY nothing can dislodge the enemy, ii
is best to cut the head away and drill out
the screw. When All obstinate screw
happens to be in wood, merely give it a
few taps on the head, but failing in that
heat it with piece of hot iron, when it
may be easily turned.
Cutting potatoes for planting is a fertile
source of weakness. The potato is per,
ennial plant, propagated from the eyes OIL
buds of the tuber, and the tuber is not 3
part of the root, but rather of the top
The whole obiect,of its formation, as far as
nature is concerned is for perpetuatine
itself. The roots, leaves, stalks, and al
parts of the plant are those in embryo
cutting, therefore, rudely sewers the EN-
bryo, and must inevitably weaken it
That it continues to grow only proves it:
great natural vigor. Try this practice OF
the apple, pear, peach, plum or any othel
| tleshy germs, and see if you can continue
to grow them. The skin of the tuber i:
almost imperyious to fluids, and protect:
the stored up food from injury until the
plant gets a start. Cutting it opens tn,
way to injury from water, and causes the
seed to rot dwarfs the plant when it doe
grow. and deprives it of the material:
which nature placed within it for the sus
tenance of the plant while young. If W.
would restore it, we must cultivate it OF
high lands, cease stimulating it with ami
NAL manure and suculent matter to grow
larger crops,-give it instead minera
manures, more room and more air. Over
grown tubers are deficient in starch
watery, and less nutritious. Few of u
have ever had the happiness of eatin.

IRON CEMENT.-A correspondent of the
English Mechanic says that he has used
the following recipe with the greatest sue
cess for the cementing of iron railing tops,
iron gratings to stoves, ETC., and with such
effect as to resist the blows OF the sledge
hammer: take equal parts of sulphur and
white lead with about a sixth of borax;
incorporate the three so as to form one
homogeneous mass. When going to APP
ply it, wet it with strong sulphuric acid
and place thin layer of it between the
two pieces of iron, which should then be
pressed together In five days it will be
perfectly dry. all traces of the cement hav-
inc vanished, and the iron will have the
appearance of having been welded togeth-

A SUBSTITUTE FOR PEA BRUsH-In
cases where pea-brush is not plentiful, or
where something more ornamental and
compact is desired, it may be worth while
to adopt the method described by the Lon
don Field A few rough stakes are driven
into the ground on both sides of the row
about twelve feet apart. Tie strong cord
or tar Irvine to the end stake and pass it
along the line, making a turn on each
stake within few inches of the ground
and as growth progresses, raise the next
turn little. advancing in succession until
the plants attain their full height. These
lines being run on at the right time, the
tendrils clasp firmly round them and are
sufficiently supported II is thought that
this way of training has the advantage of
giving better circulation of air, and of
permitting the pods to be gathered with
more ease and with less tearing of the
haulm than when the brush is used.

INDESTRUeTIBLE MORTAR.-The inferi-
or quality of mortar in use at the pres
ent day for laying brick is as notorious as
it is unnecessary and dangerous. 1t is II
well known fact that in Europe, buildings
hundreds of years old exhibit mortar
ridges between the stones, showing that
the mortar possesses a quality of hardness
or durability equal to that of the stones.
1t has been thought that the making of this
exceedingly hard mortar was peculiar to
former times, the secret of which has been
lost. Concerning this, a German chemist
claims to have invented method of pro-
ducing mortar which shall be, as it were,
indestructible. According to his plan, the
lime is first Stacked, then mixed with fine
Is sifted sand, and to this damp, powdery
mass is added a quantity of unslacked lime,
equal to one fourth the amount of the sand
used. On turning and mixing this togeth-
CT, the added lime Stacks and the mortar
may be used at once while hot and steam
inc. The proportions of Stacked lime and
sand are not given in the account of this in
vention, but care must of course be neces-
sary not to use m undue proportion of sand.
If not wanted at once, the Stacked lime
and sand mixture may be kept for some
time without deterioration.

CoTTON CLOTH FOR HOT-BEDs.-J. B.
Root successful market gardener, states
in the Fruit Recorder that he uses cotton
cloth at a cost of one eighth that of glass
for more than three fourths of his hot beds,
and although not so good for the earliest
beds, is preferred for all later ones. 1t is
prepared by making the cloth covers few
inches wider and longer than the frame,
hemmed and provided with small curtain
rings fifteen inches apart around the Dor
der, stoutly sewed on; and by hooking over
nails, the cloth is drawn air-tight over the
frame. One quart Of linseed oil, one ounce
of pulverized sugar of lead, and four
ounces of pulverized rosin are heated,
dissolved and thoroughly mixed in an iron
kettle, and one coat applied while hot to
the upper side of the cloth. This renders
it tight and nearly transparent.

THE TEXAS PACIFIC RAILROAD.

Now that our elections are over and the
solid fruits OF victory are assured it behooves
| us to remind our readers and especially our
| Congressman elect. that there still remains
another object of the utmost importance to
| our entire community. We refer to the ex-
pansion Of our system OF railroads and other
means of transportation, by which alone the
! trade of New Orleans will receive that de-
| velepment necessary to rebuild our ancient
prosperity.
The Texas and Pacific Railway, with Col.
Thos A. Scott, the Railroad King at its
head, has, as our readers know, been COM
PEELED to cease its construction on account of
the unfavorable effects of tine panic of 1873
and the failure of another great undertaking
Of far less Importance to the country at
large.
The Texas Pacific Railway only asks that
assistance that has been accorded by the
Government to other enterprises of a Ma
tional character this assistance to be Sc
cured in such IA manner ITS to prevent any
possible loss.
In view Of the fact that the South has re-
ceived very little assistance in the develop
ment Of its resources that has been given to
other sections OF the country we think that
We are asking only that which is our due.
The immense amount Of money that must
be expended in the further construction of
this important railway will cause considera-
BILE revival Of that trade we SO much desire.
and will afford employment to thousands of
our laboring population who are now entirely
out Of employment.
We urge our representatives at the capital
to push this matter to an early and favorable
consideration. Our Chamber Of Commerce.
as well as those OF other cities having fully
Endorsed the measure, careful consideration
of the subject will convince all that a favor;-
BILE result will relieve our entire community
Of the stagnation we are now using all our
means to overcome.
