PHILOSOPHY.
CoWPER.

Man feels the need of an unerring guide,
And knows tisat, falling, he shah rise no more
Unless the power that babe him stand restore;
This Is indeed philosophy; this, known,
Makes wisdom, worthy of the name, his own;
And without this, whatever he discuss,
Whether the space between the stars and US,
Whether he measure earth, compute the sea,
Weigh sunbeams, carve a fly, or spit flea;
The solemn trifier with his boosted skill
Tolls much, and is a solemn Iriher still.

SPRING,

Chambers Journal
Thou of the sunny head,
With lilies garlanded,
And bosom fairer Than the blown sea foam;
o Spring, in what waste desert dost thou stay
Whilst leaves await thy presence to unfold?
And all imprisoned is the crocus' gold.
Come, sweet Enchantress, come!
Though, in the sombre west,
Thy star hath lit its crest
Pale Phosphor, fronting full the withered moon
Thy violets are sepultured in snow,
Thy daisies twinkle never in the sun,
Rude winds throughout the ruined forests
And silent is the doves melodious moan;
Enchantress, hasten soon.
And white and tangled maze,
Loved of the oxlip and the creeping thyme;
Bare shakes the poplar on the sullen ridge,
Cold glooms the spectral mill above the
Hoarse torrents stream beneath the ivied
And iighfnings strike the darkness of the
wood;
No bloom of dewy morn,
No freshly blOSsOmed thorn,
Gladdens the importunings of sad eyes;
The day wastes drearily, through cloud and
sleet;
over the watered meadows and stark wales
The night comes down impetuous and fleet,
And ships and cities shiver in the gales;
fair Enchantress, Use.
Arise, and bring with thee
The rattle bud for the tree,
The healing sunshine for the trampled grass;
Loose tendrils for the boughs which bless the
caves,
And shield the swallows in the rainy hours,
The pendent flames which the laburnum
heaveS,
And faint scents fo- the wind-stirred lilac
flowers,
Enchantress, breathe and pass.
Men knew. and kissed, OF old,
Thy garments glittering fold
Thy radiant footprint on the mead or waste;
Earth kindled at thine advent-altars burned,
And ringing cymbals babe the hearths be
gay;
But now, in sunless solitude inurned,
Thou leav'St the world unto reluctant day.
o haste, EnchRntress, haste!
The lark shall sing again,
| Between the sun and rain,
The brown bee through the Powered pastures
roam.
| There shall be music in the frozen woods,
| A gurgling carol in the rushing brook,
| An odor in the half-unbosomed bud,
| And dancing fOx-gloves in each forest nook
| Then come, Enchantress, come!

Hungarian Grass. or Millet.

We have inquired as to the value Of
millet as forage plant, and would re-
ply that it has its place in true farm
economy, rs "a temporary substitute for
hay when that crop Is short, and also
as valuable soiling crop. 1t has an
annual root, consequently can not take
the place of other grasses in forming
permanent pasture or meadows. IL
may be sown late in the season, after
the spring crops are out OF the way,
on land that could not be prepared tor
spring crops, and under favorable con-
ditions may yield a heavier burden Of
excellent hay than the regular meadow.
1t has been sown as late as the lst of
July, after a meadow had been mown,
at the rate of bushel to the acre, and
yielding in September two tons Of
excellent hay.
As soiling crop, it may be grown
on poorer soil than sowed corn. cured
much easier, and if not all fed before,
will keep until winter. Those who
have fed it esteem it very highly for
horses, the street railroad company in
Rochester feeding it to their horses,
when they can obtain it, with good
results. They value it highly.-RUrdt

The Potato Bug In Iowa.

All accounts agree that the potato
bug movement this season is unusually
early and formidable. Mr.. Joseph
Bennett informed us on Saturday that
in a field of potatoes on the island,
which he planted in April, there is an
average of nine bugs to each potato.
In a patch he has on the bluff they are
not quite so bad. Mr.. w. p. Frasier
estimates the number of bugs on his
at half dozen to each plant. He
has noticed many of them on the wing,
and they invariably fly eastward. OF
course, unless the bugs come to pre-
mature and unexpected end, they will
completely destroy the potato crop this
season. 1t is said, however, that a
certain, species of ant has appeared,
and is destroying them in great num-
beers. The propagation of the anti
potato-bug ant should be encouraged
by all means.-MuScatine Journal.

Remedy for cancer.

Colonel Ussery, of Desota, louisiana,
says that he fully tested remedy for
this troublesome disease, recommended
to him by a Spanish woman, a native
of the country.
The remedy is this: Take an egg
and break 1t, pour out the white, re.
tanning the yolk in the shell put in
salt and mix with the yolk as long as
it will receive it; stir them together
uutil the salve is formed; put portion
of this on piece of sticking plaster
and apply to the cancer about twice q
day. He tried the remedy twice in his
own family with entire success. 1t has
also been tried on two cases in Rhode
Island with perfect success. Such a
remedy is within the reach of every
one, and should be known to the
whole world.

Balky Horses.

The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty 20 Animals puts forth the fol-
lowing rules for the treatment of balky
horses, which will bear reproduction 4:
]. Pat the horse upon the neck eX-
anime the harness carefully, first on
one side and then on the other, speak
ing encouragiDgly while doing so {:
then jump into the wagon and give the
word 10 go /; generally he will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can
start the worst balKy horse by taking
him out of the shafts and making him
so round in narrow circle till he is
giddy. If the first dance of this sort
doesn't cure him, the second will.
8. To cure a balky horse, simply
place your hand over the horses nose
and shut off his wind until he wants to
go, and then let him go.
4. The brain of horse seems TO en-
terrain but one idea AZ time there
fore continued whipping only confirms
his stubborn resolve. If you can
by any means give him a new sub.
ject to think OF, you will generally have
no trouble in starting him. a simple
remedy is to take q couple of turns of
stout Irvine around the fore leg, just
below the knee, tight enough for the
horse TO feel, and tie in a bow knot.
At the first check he will generally 90
dancing off, and after going q short
distance, you can get out and remove
the string, TO prevent injury TO the
tendon in your further drive.
5. Take the tail Of the horse between
the hind legs, ana tie it by cord to
the saddle girth.
8. Tie string around the horses ear,
close 20 his head.

FIELD AND FARM.


In the midst of the bountiful harvest
of wheat now being gathered our farm
ers should not forget the small econo.
mics Of the farm. Blackberries, APP
Piles and peaches when dried. bring in
a large SUN of money. AS the season
is now near at hand we give some sug.
gestions on the subject from a well
known house in New York, one of the
largest fruit dealing houses in the city,
J. NJ. Atwater & Co, No. 81 Pearl St.
They say
We hope the Merchants of East
Tennessee will endeavor to impress
upon the Farmers, the importance of
taking more care in cutting and dry
ing their Apples. As a general thing,
the Dried Apples we receive from Ten
nessee and Georgia are badly cured,
cOarsely cut and poorly dried, being
dark in color. With little extra care
and labor on the part of the Farmers,
this can be Temedied. We remember,
only few years since, when the North
Carolina Dried Apples were no better
than Tennessee and Georgia; but the
Farmers there have been gradually
educated into taking greater care every
year in preparing their fruit, until now
at least three-fOurths of the Apples
sent from there are finely cut and
sliced, and bright, handsome color;
so that they compete and oftentimes
excel in price the best New York State
fruit, bringing on an average from to
cents per pound more than Tennessee
and Georgia Apples. These remarks
apply also TO Dried Peeled Peaches. If
the Farmers would give attention to
this subject, they would soon be able to
sell their Apples at from 5 TO cents
per pound, instead of being compelled
to take from 10 8 cents per pound, as
heretofore: and the Merchants who
buy them would also be able to make
better profits.

DiptherIa Epidemic in New York.

Diptheria is reported to be prevalent

various remedies are suggested by the
newspapers for its treatment. Though
not so fatal this time as usual, the cpl
demic has carried off many victims,
generally from the wealthy classes,
both in.upper New York and on Staten
Island. 1t is said that there are over
two hundred cases existing in New
York and its vicinity, and as 1t is gen
orally the case scarlatina Is also I'M

mended to prevent spread OF the dis
ease, of which the contagious principle
may be carried by visitors in their

are some Of the preventives.
