a SONG OF THE SUMMER WIND.

A SONG OF THE SUMMER WIND.
Balmly, balmly, Summer wind,
Sigh through the mountain passes,
Over the sleep of the beautiful deep,
Over the woods green masses;
Ripple the grain Of valley and plain,
And the reeds and the river grasses.
How many songs, Summer wind,
How many songs you know,
or fair, sweet things in your wanderngs,
AS over the earth you go
To the Norland bare and bleak from where
The red south roses blow.
Where the red south blossoms blow, wind,
(Sing low to me, low and stillyD
And the golden green of the ctrons lean
TO the white of the sanity lily;
Where the sun.rays browse in the orange-boughs.
(Sing, sing, for the heart grows chillyD
And the belted bee hangs heavily
In rose and daffodilly.
know song o Summer wind,
A song of o willow.tree;
Soft as the sweep of its fringes deep
In dangerous swoons of tropic moons,
But sad as sad can bel
Yet would you might sing it, Summer wind
would you might sing it me.
20 tremulous, musical murmur Of lcavesI
Omystical melancholy
OF waves that call from the far sea-wall!-
Shall render your meaning wholly
Ere the day shall wane to the night again,
And the stars come, slowly, slowlyD
would You might sing me, Summer wind
A song of little chamber;
Sing soft, sing low, how the roses grow
And the starry jasmines Chamber:
Through the emerald r.ts how the moonlight drifts,
And the sunlight's mellow amber.
Sing of a hand In the fluttering leaves,
Like q wee white bird in its nest
OF white hand twined in the leaves to End
A bloom for the fair young breast.
Sing of my love, my little love,
My snow.white dove in her nest,
As she looks through the fragrant jasmine leaves
Into the wasting west.
Tenderly, tenderly, Summer wind,
With murmurous wordcaresses,
0, wind Of the South, to her beautiful mouth
Did you cling with your bamy kisses
Flutter and float DER the white, white throat.
And ripple the golden tresses9
"The long year groeeth from green to goid,'
Saith the song OF the wow.tree;
MY fresses cocer, my roots enfotd,"
o, Summer wind, sing it mel
Leru and dreary, sad and weary,
As lovers that parted be-
But sweet as the grace of fair young face
never again may seei

ten to doubt that it pays big. | remember
the case Of Cushman right here. He saw an
advertisement of "A dog wanted" and while
crawling under the bed to get hold of one Of
those numerous CANNES always to be found on
the premises, he found his new axe, which
had been lost for three months, half a key of
nails, and enough coal to last him week.
That wasn't all he sold the dog for three dol
lars stole him back the same night, and re-
sold him to stranger for twelve shillings.
A neighbor of mine once asked my advice
about advertising for boarders, and told him
by all means to advertise. lie inserted three
or four lines in daily paper, costing thirty
or forty cents, and in two days after his house
was jam full of boarders. The crowd was
composed of his brothers wife and nine chill
dren, who learned his address through the
advertisement, and If that man wasn't salts

got that family off his hands, then his coun-
tenance lied.

could render himself useful and receive a
small salary. Some people laughed at him,

such situation. l don't exactly remember
where it was, but think they called the place

all he has to do is to sit on bench and drive
pegs into shoes, and they think so much Of
him that they are going to keep him there for
ten years.
There was the case Of Taylor. He adver-
tised for information concerning his long-lost
brother, whom he had not seen for twenty-one
years, and . Texas vigilance committee sent
him one Of the prettiest ropes you ever set
eyes on--worth ten times the cost of the adj
vertisement. They said 1t was all that was

CAUSES DE DEB.

If dew fell, it would fall tor the same reason
that rain falls but dew does not fall--it is
simply deposit of moisture always contained
in the air to a greater or lesser degree, and
which, when there is enough Of it will always
form on any cold body exposed to the moist
air, in precisely the same way that a cold
bottle or stone, taken from cold cellar and
suddenly exposed, in the shade, to the moist,
warm summer air, will become wet this is
not sweating nor does this moisture come out
of the bottle or stone, as many people believe,
but from the air. 1t is for the same reason
that moisture will condense against the win
dow panes when the air is cold outside and
moist inside, the moisture slowly freezing
while its deposits form crystals of ice, which
we so often admire in winter. When the
weather is cool enough, the moisture deposit
ted will even freeze on plants and grass and
then we call 1t hoar frost if it does not freeze
it is simply dew. This only point left to be
explained is, why does the ground become so
cool during the night, so much cooler than
the air above it, as to cause the latter to de-
post its moisture? This was for many years
a vexed problem till Wells first suggested the
radiation of obscure heat. which takes place
from the surface Of the earth through the
clear atmosphere in the space above, and SO
causes the surface to become much cooler than
the air itself He demonstrated this by means
of thermometers placed az different heights,
and also by the fact that dew is only deposited
on cloudless nights. When there are clouds,
they reflect the heat, or prevent it from escap-
ing. The surface Of the earth thus being
kept from cooling, no dew is deposited

HAsTy WoRDs.--The evil that is in the
world, that rushes down our streets, devas.
tating homes, running happiness, and laying
waste the pleasant places, has many fountains.
Sin does it's deadly work in many ways, and
sorrow comes from a variety of sources; and
hasty words have much to answer for among
the rest. We are apt to think that a word OF
two does not matter that we need not
trouble ourselves to be over particular as to
what we say. But this is only one of our
many mistakes. Words live. There is SO
much vitality in them that they take root
even upon very unlikely soil. Hasty words
are almost sure to have little sense and less
kindness in them. They are not the offspring
of meek and quiet spirits, but of hot, passion
ate tempers. "All men are liarsl" Who but
a man in hot passion would have said that ?
The assertion is so sweeping and unjust that
if David had not prefaced it by his profession,
q said in my haste" we should not have
understood it. Perhaps the reason why such
words are spoken is that the speaker feels
himself aggrieved. We often do in this life
of ours we cannot have all we wish from our
brothers and sisters, and SO we allow ourselves
to grow fretful and angry. We are unreason-
able enough to suppose that all things should
be ours, and when we find only few things
coming to our share, then we become discon-
tented and peevjsh, and speak hasty words

THE FLOATING GARDENS IN MEXICO

When the city Of Mexico ives taken by the
Spaniards under Cortez, in 1891, it occupied
several districts in the Lake Tezcuco. The
canic, has since receded, and the city, although
still retaining its ancient site, is now two and
a half miles distant from the lake. At the
Spanish conquest, however, it presented very
much the appearance of Venice, "city in the
sea, throned on her hundred isles" the
margins of whose broad and narrow canal
streets were in many places lined with splendid
mansions. According to the ancient Spanish
historians, the native Mexicans had at that
time attained high degree of perfection in
various arts for which they do not appear to
have been in any way indebted to the civiliza-
tion Of the Old World and which must have
been an outgrowth of unpaid ingenious talent
Among the many novelties and wonders which
met the eyes of the Spaniards were the
chinampas, or floating gardens, which aboun-
ded on the lake, and supplied the city with
vegetables, fruits, and flowers the latter being
in great request among Mexicans for decorat-
ing the affairs of their gods. These gardens

the reeds and other aquatic plants which
grew by the shore Of the lake, making it
sufficiently firm and buoyant to sustain a
quantity of soil which was spread over the
surface and kept in position by at low fence
Of wicker-work, or intertwined reeds and
branches, which ran round the edge of the
raft. The fertility of these little floating is
lands, owing to the constant supply of mois-
ture, is very remarkable, and the old chronic
lers speaks of them as being literally covered
with flowers and fruit. The city of Mexico
is still to great extent supplied from these
singular gardens, which form the sole
support of some villages ON the shores of the
lake inhabited by families Of the descendants
of the aboriginal rate who fell beneath the
treachery of the sanguinary Cortez. Two of
these villages, Santa Anita and Ixtacalco,
which are not very far from Mexico, are
particularly noted for the production of
beautiful flowers, and certain seasons wl,eii
their floating gardens are in full bloom, they
are a favorite resort for pleasure-parties the
citizens.

Last year we opened our eyes and mouths
to marvel over the immensely of the Califor-
mia wheat crop, and this year we are still fur
Their astonished by the information that the
crop of 1873 will be more than doubled. The
area under cultivation is upwards of 1000, 900
acres, 300, 900 acres more than last year, and
the yield is extraordinarily fine. The total
crop is estimated at minimum figure of 35,-
100000 bushels, leaving 25, 600, 900 bushels for
export-nearly twice the greatest amount that
California has ever furnished for expectation,
more than all the rest Of the United States ex
ported last year, and twice as much as Russia
exported from her great grain district on the
Danube. California's gold yield is trifle
compared with this golden shower Of grain.
