CLOTH COVERS FOR COLD
FRAMES.
From Rural New Yorker

From Rural New Yorker.
Last spring we needed an extra cold
frame, and concluded to try cloth Gov
ering instead Of glass, as recommended in
the RnraJ NeaO- Yorker by a western farm
er. The plants grown under it were so
thrifty and required SO much less care
than those started under sseb, that we
shall use it again the present season for
such vegetables and flower seeds as We
usually plant in q cold frame the latter
part Of April.
Last year the season was backward and
the nights too cold to trust our seedlings
in an ordinary cold frame so we com-
promised betweel:that and hot-bed by
using less manure than we do in March.
After being. well forked over, it was made
into bed fourteen feet in length by five
in width, and about two feet above the
ground On this our frame, twelve feet
by three, was set, and a compost made of
six parts OF garden soil, one of leaf mold.
aad one Of very ola manure mixed With
u little sand. WAS filed in to the depth Of
eight inches Three narrow boards, nail
ed across the top OF the frame, divided
into four sections, and beneath one Of
these wider board was fitted in, making
Il seperate compartment for delicatae
plants that needed little exposure at first
to sun and air.
For the covers we had in readiness four
frames, each yard square, made Of two
inch boards nicely joined at the corners,
and strengthened by a cross piece through
The center. Heavy sheeting. YARD wide,
WAS stretched tightly over them AMI fast
ened with carpet tacks, while two coats
of thin coating of linseed oil andIwhiting
made them tight enough to shed rain.
Loops of stout Irvine, slipped over large
nail on the ends and sides Of the cold
frame, held the covers in place when clos
ed. but We think it an Improvement to
have the cloth wide enough to come over
the frame two inches, SO as to exclude the
air on cold days and nights.
The housewife whose kitchen work and
flower culture must go along togt ther
will find such frame as I have described
very convenient and plants will thrive
without such constant care as those need
which are grown under glass. RI.

When on her loved ones looks the future
bride:
The twain made one, illusions disappear,
And toll and trouble Dring the bitter tear.
Yet when man'shopes seem crumbling into
dust, < 49,
The wife points up yards, full Of holy trust,
TO heavens bright azure, TO the starry
III sphere.
And, EOb, despair not = speaks the glis.en-
ing tear.
But man grows old; the parting hours at
hand 4
Around his couch his sorrowing kindred
stand
Then, as loves final tribute, pure and clear,
Flows from each eye the fond, regretful
tear. WsE5
Lit with glory borrowed from above,
On all the old man bends glance Of love;
The last strife comes, and lite's goal yet
more near, #t} AE

tear.

servant, who watched each arrival on

spanked with JOY as he recognized his
old sutor, Rev. Mr. Price, who had
taught him, after his liberation from
slavery, to read and write English in
Bombay.
Mr.. STANLEY AND JACOB WAINWRIGHT
A group consisting of Mr.. Waller, Mr.

him. No sooner had the boys bright
eyes lit on Mr.. SANKEY'S face than a
broad smile played over his stolid fes-
lures, and he stretched out his hand and
said he perfectly remembered him and
then commenced al conversation which
was listened to with intense interest by
all present, and which must have the
effect of silencing those persons, If any
suca remain, who affect disbelief in MI

Gov. Swami and Mr.. McI4sne keep up their
FIRE At each other in the advertising columns of
the Baltimore papers in the riv Airy for the honor
of representing the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict OF Maryland In a late card in the Sun in
behalf of Swami, IL was stated, as tall
feather in bis cap, that in 1897, when the legis-
lsture OF Maryland elected him TO the United
St.tes Senate, with a degree of party fealty and
elf sbnegatiOn unparalleled in modern times,
he declined TO accept the office in order to pre-
vert the calamity of Lieutenant Governor
Christopher e. Cox, radical, becoming gov
eTnOr Of the state.
Conservative, > on 5ehalfof McLane, replies
Per card in the Sun, that Swami would not have
been admitted to the United States Senate in
1867; that the Republican Senators had agreed
to deny him seat; and that Swami was we'll
aware Of this fact, and hence his declination OF
an Office which he knew in advance he would
not be permitted TO enjoy.
Mr.. Swami now has the floor, or the card, and
will doubtless be heard from in due season. The
Baltimore papers very sensibly send the poll
ticians TO their advertising columns instead OF
grinding their axes grstuitously az the papers
Of sone other cities are green enough 20 do.

A case Of considerable interest to local politi-
clans was recently tried In Bal more involving
the validity OF q contract 10 influence voters BY
means Of such little seductive creature COM
forts as lager beer, pretzels, cigars, &C. In
this case the son of a gentleman whe desired to
receive the nomination for the city Council en-
tered into an arrangement with the keeper of q
lager saloon by which the latter was to
furnish voters with beer and cigars, the party
of the first part agreeing to pay the bill. When
the latter vas presented payment Was refused
for some reason, and the saloon-keeper brought
suit and recovered a judgment for the full
amount OF the bill. The case was appealed 10
the city court, and a decision was rendered yes-
terday reversing the former verdict on the
ground that such contracts are contrary to pub
lie policy. The judge quoted Law making it a
penal offence for person to give yictusls and
intoxicating liquors to voters at a regular cleo
ton Tor the purpose OF influencing their votes,
and held that the same principles OF public
policy which apply to elections ordained by law
should be applicable to primary elections, and
that 1t Is equally corruption to the voters
whether they sTe treated 10 beer and cigars to
influence their votes at a primary election or at
q legal election.
