TOO LATE.

With burning brow on fevered hand,
Slow fading with the fading day,
1 sit beside the darkling strand
While moaning tide and land wind say:
"Thy wide world died by land and sea
With that great heart that died for thee"
The si.hings of her wasting breast
Were breathed to cold, unanswering night
Alone, forsaken, and unguessed,
She passed, blighted flower, from sight;
And now the land-wind hears m y cry
To deaf abyss of seward sky.
A single stars Implying CLEAN
Lights up the storm weed at my feet;
And, shore east wreck, I:sit and dream
While my lost heart, with waning beat,
Breaks slowly, by the breaking sea,
For that great heart that brake for me.

cauliflowers; one pint nasturtiums; one
dozen small red peppers. Salt each of
the above named articles separately "A

bottles and fill up with the vinegar and
mustard. The above is said to be Lea &

! the work thoroughly, and repeat in three
or four days.
SWINE should have rings in their noses
and be turned out to pasture every day.
Clover is best for them, but they will do
very well on grass. Young, growing pigs
should have some grain in addition to the
grass. Pork is likely to be high next win
ter, and it will pay to feed libe; ally.

MANURING FOR CORN-In April of
last year. about Il month before we
ploughed the ground, we MANFRED Il part
of our corn ground, drawing 10 loads of
coarse manure on four acres of ground.
In the manure, which was mostly from
horses and cows, was mixed a great deal
of straw and refuse corn stalks, and it was
therefore quite coarse.
The field was in sod four years old, hay
inc been moved two Years and pastured
two. 1t was about the 10th of MAY when
we commenced to plough, and by this
time the grass had grown up through the
straw until it was about four inches high
In ploughing we found Il great difference
Where it had been MANFRED, the ground
was loose; and when it turned over, it
broke and fell into pieces and was very
mellow, and the work was much easier
for both team and man. Where there was
no manure, it was hard and when turned
up it remained unbrokcn and never worked
down us well rs the other. Another part
of the field was MANFRED while we were
ploughing. There was always Il differ
ence in the corn, and when we harvested
the crop, the first manured was much the
best; and either portion was Il geat deal
better than where it had none. | cannot
give the exact yield, as it was not meas
ured; but we had thirty bushels shelled
per acre of good corn, beside soft corn
which we did not measure. The miller
to whom we sold part of our crop said it
was the dricst corn he had bought
We began to plant our corn the 9th of
May, and it was planted three and Il half
feet each way. We plante! in fresh fur
rows, striking our cross burrows rs fast rs
we wanted to plant. The corn came up
well, and when it was about two inches
high we put on mixture of ashes and
plaster, On account of very dry weather
in June, we did not plough till it was Il
foot high. The field was clean, the corn
grew fast, and we thought it best to let it
alone rather than to work it when it was
so very dry. 1t was only ploughed twice
the first time we threw the fllrow away
from the corn, and the next time we
threw up to the hills. On part of it the
ridges were level with the hoe. 1t was cut
and stocked in September, and hu~ked in
November and December. Over half of
it was caught in the snow but we were not
as badly off as some of our neighbors who
laughed at our extra work in the spring,
and had but little to husk
We are SO well satisfied with this way of
manuring that we are doing the same this
year, only drawing our manure earlicr.-

A Dogs Love.

The contractors engaged on the Boston
(U. s. water works had a valuable cart
horse injured some time ago. The animal
WAS led home to the stable, where about
fifty horses were generally kept. The hos
tier had II waterspaniel, who for some
months had been among the horses in the
stable, living on terms of great intimacy
with them. Immediately after the disabled
horse was led in. he lay down and began
to exhibit signs of great distress.
The spaniel ut once ran to the horse,
and commenced fawning around him. lick
ING the poor animals face, and in various
other ways manifeSting his sympathy with
the sufferer.
The struggles and groans of the horse
being continued, the dog sought his master,
and drew his attention to the wounded ami
NAL. and showed great satisfaction when
he found his master employed in bathing
the wounds and otherwise ministering to
his wants.
The hostler continued his care of the
horse until a late hour of the night Forty
eight hours after the horse was injured the
faithful dog he'd not left the stable, dav or
night for a mi ute, not even to eat; from
his appearance it was believed that he had
scarcely slept at all. He was constantly
on the alert, not suffering any one To come
near the horse except those attached to the
stable and the owner of the horse; his
whole appearance was one of extreme dis
tress and anxiety.
He often laid his head on the horse
neck, caressing him and licking around
his eyes. which kindness the poor horse
acknowledged bya grateful look and other
signs of recognition.
This fact furnishes a remarkable and af
fecting exhibition of animal kindness, and
should cover with shame the unfeeline
men who beat and abd>e that noble and
most useful of animals, without stint or re-
morse, and are utterly destitute of sympa-
| thy for the whole brute creation. Humane

THE WORLDS BIGGEST FLOwER-On
some of the East India Islands, where so
nanny queer things grow, is found Il flow
cr that measures full yard across vet it
has only a cup-like center, and five broad,
thick, tleshy petals. Seen from a distance,
through the dark-green leaves of the vines
among which it grows, the rich wine-tint
of the flower, f1ecked with spots of light
er shade, is said to impart warmth and
brilliancy of color to the whole surround
ING scene. But the nearer the observer
comes-all eagerness to see more closely
so wonderful n flower-the less does he
like it. Not that the color is less beaut-
full; but who cares for beauty in human
beings, when its possessor is malicious.
disdainful, or untruthful? and who cares
for beauty in Il flower, when the odor is
disagreeable9
So, Notwithstanding its proudly bril-
liant color and it great size, the RafVesia
ArnOldid will never be admired; for we
are told that its : odor is intolerable pol
luting the atmosphere for many feet
around Another bad trait of its flower
character is, that it is too lazy to support
itself, but lives upon the labors of others.
In the forests where it is found, there are
many vines, sometimes climbing up the
trunks of the trees, and sometimes trailing
along the ground Fastening itself to Il
vine in the latter position, the unprinci-
pied rat7csia grows without other trouble
to itself than to draw for its own use the
nutrinent which the industrious vine-roots
are all the while collecting from the earth
The vine must be very amiable, YOU think /?
All but the poor vine cannot help itself,
1t can not shake off the big, selfish flower,
and can only work harder than ever to
collect supplies sufficient to nourish the
odious hanger-on, and have enough, in ad-
dition, for its own branches and leaves.

SEEDING WITH GRAss.-Almost every
farmer sows his grass seed in the old way,
with grain crop in the spring, an herds
grass and perhaps red top in the fall, with
Winter grain followed by clover on the
snow in the spring. We have long enter
tanned the opinion that grass seed should
be sown by itself. But however sown, it
is settled beyond question that to secure a
good catch the soil must be rich, fine and
mellow. Our neighbor, Mr.. l.. N. Bar
nard, always mixes his grass seed with the
grain, the latter being moistened so that the
fine seeds will adhere and be equally dis
tributed. The ground is thoroughly har-
rowed and pushed before sowing, and the
grass seed is narrowed in with the grain,
and rolled. If the preparation of the soil
is thorough the seed will not be covered too
deep, and the young grass will be SO deep
" rooted as to stand drouth. Mr.. Bar
nard, whose fertile fields and good crops
show him to be one of the best of farmers,
considers this the best way to sow grass
seed and claims that it never fails. The
too common fault in sowing grass seed
is that the soil is hard or lumpy, sc
that the delicate plants perish for want OF
sustenance which they are unable to draw
under such unf;lvorable conditions.

WORMS. Hon. Geo. Geddes says.
in the Country Gentleman: Salt in suffi-
cicnt quantities to kill cut worms, when
applied on growing corn, will kill the corn
quite rs etfectually as the worms. know
of no remedy for cut-wOrms. when they
appear in a crop of corn, except to kill
them; and we have sometimes laid out
much labor in trying to dig them out of
the hills of corn and destroy them, and
failed at last, and been forced to give up
the crop and sow the land to wheat. An
old turf has most often harbored the cut
worm with us, and we have been forced to
plant corn on ground that had in it but
very little vegetable matter to support the
worms. Cultivation, and consequent des-
truction of grass roots, has been the most
successful preparation of the land with us.

Correspondents of the Country Gentle
man furnish that paper the following good
recipes:
SOFT SOAP Take seventeen pounds of
white potash of the strongest quality, to
twenty of clear soap grease; place the pot
ash in small humps at the bottom of a
barrel boil the grease, and while boiling
add one pound of borax; pour boiling hot
upon the potash; turn in two pailfuls of
scalding hot water, and stir in for half an
hour or longer. 1t must be stirred well. so
that the grease and the lye can become
well Incorporated Next morning fill up
the barrel BY the pailful with cold water
mixing each pail well into the soap before
another is added. The barrel is supposed
to hold 30 gallons. In three days it will
be fit for use, but is much improved by
age.
A NICE HARD SoAP.-Take six pounds
of washing soda, six pounds of clear
white fat, and three pounds of lime Pour
four gallons of boiling water over the soda
and lime, and boil till the soda is dissolved
then pour off the water gently, SO as to
leave the sediment of lime in the bottom
of the kettle Turn out the lime and wash
out the Kettle, then add the lye ana the lat
with half u pound of boraX, and boil 25 or
80 minutes. Take a little out in a saucer
to cool, and if no water remains ut the
bottom after it is cold, it is done. Pour ii
into deep pans, or a small wash tub. and
when thoroughly cold, cut into bars, and
place in the attic to dry. This soap is
excellent for all purposes, and Will wash
calicoes and tiannelS far better than the
soda soap bought at the grocers.
FRIGHTENING TIS.-The best thing to
brighten tin is whiting and kerosene.
Wet Il bit of flannel in the kerosene. then
lip it into the powder, and rub with Il will
and your tin vii! shine like mirror.
FRUIT IN CAKE.-By sitting flour over
the raisins and currants, and rubbing it
over them well, | have no trouble from
their sinking in the cake.

SO that one hundred thousand pounds of
peat would yield only one hundred and
twenty-five pounds of parat1ine. Peat from
the kingdom of Hanover appears to yield
more than that from Ireland, one hundred
thousand pounds yielding rather more
than three hundred. Although in Il none
tary sense the Irish scheme was II failure,
great credit must nevertheless be awar-
ded to its promoters. 1t certainly led the
way to other discoveries, and excited Il
wholesome interest in the hydrocarbon in
dustry. The poverty of the original ma
terial operatedupon appears to be the only
cause of the .non-success of the undertake
ing.
The poverty of our New England peat,
chemically speaking, is greater than that
Of any other. 1t would require more than
one million pounds of our wet meadow
peat to furnish one hundred pounds OF
paraffine. Its profitable manipulation is
therefore out of the question,-B0sfOn
