POETRY.
Day-Dreaills.

just within the cottage door
Baby plays upon the floor,
While the mother, with her knitting,
On the low doorstep is sitting;
And the golden summer dag
With the twilight slips away.
Building castles in the air.
Seeing visions bright and fair,
In that golden hour hazy.
Illl the busy hands grow lazy,
And her work unhceded lies
Meath her far-otf dreamy eyes.
No more toiling day and night.
But life so fair and bright,
That, without stint or measure,
She is drih king deep of pleasure,
in that visionary sphere
Which her dreaming brings so near.
She is plueking at her ease
Golden fruits her taste to please;
She is lifted in her vision
To the far-otF bright Elysian.
while the twilight slowly dies.
And gray shadows fill the skies.
But bark that merry shout
On the night breeze ringing ont
Sets the bright ulr-eastle falling;
For the fishers voice is calling;
And the mothers dreams ARE ser
She's the fishers wife once more.
Back ngain from marble halls,
Snug within her cottage walls,
Where baby must be tended
And homespun garments mehded;
And her day dreams thus are done
With the setting of the sun.

laid package before his wife the
other evening.

much did it cost Y' she inquired as
she tore off the paper.
"Only $780," he replied, careless
ly.
"And what's this mark, $780, on
the card for ?'' as she held it up
and looked at him with suspicion
in her eyes.
"That-that mark-why that
means they paid only $3.50 to have
the jewelry made !" he replied
"Just think darling, of their grind

himself:

A Ton Of Hay by Measure

of hay put into the NOW fresh from
the field, and PIG in a ton we'll set
tied down. The difference in a
NOW that had been standing two
years, over one that has been STAN
ding one year would not be great,
as the hay would settle very little
the second. year. A correct, prac-
teal rule by which to ascertain the
number of tons of hay in a NOW is
to multiply the length in yards, by
the height in yards, and that by
the width in yards, .and then di-
vide this product by Is, when the
quotient will be the number oil

The Potato Bug.

[F1ona the Nco York Herold.1
The Potato Bug advances with
terrific rapidity, and is so insatia-
BILE ia his appetite, that to-day we
surrender him a leaf Of our paper,
where he will be found as he Is In
New York Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. Our correspondents at
Port Jersey, Albany, Burlington
City, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and
other places, have made careful
and accurate reports Of the ravages
of this insect, the dangers with
which the crops are threatened,
and the means used 70 avert their
destruction. Toe potato is the
most important Of all our cultisat-
ed vegetables, and the bug which
attacks it commits a deliberate and
unjustifiable assault upon every
dinner table from the highest to
the lowest in the land. fie is the
sworn enemy of boiled potatoes,
mashed potatoes, fried potatoes,
Saratoga fried chips, stewed pota-
toes, potato cakes, potato salads,
| LyOnnaise potatoes, roast potatoes,
potato croquettes, cold potatoes,
sweet POTATOES, and all the count
less forms into which that useful
and protean esculent transforms
itself. The bug equally threatens
the luxuries of the rich and the me-
cessities of the poor. We might as
well almost have the bug upon our
tables as in our fields, yet there he
is now, by millions upon millions,
an army more dangerous to the
American farmer than the hosts
of Xerxes were to Greece.
The potato bug,as will be shown
by our full reports, extends over a
vast range of the richest agricul-
turaI region Of the United States,
and does not content himself only
with devouring the potato vines,
but has just as sweet a tooth for
tomato vines, egg plants and SINH
lar delicacies of our summer. In
many districts he has laid the land
waste for miles. But, happily, this
little monster does not have it all
his own way. Our farmers fight
him with the determination which
will give no quarter.
