THE ORIGIN OF MAIZE.

THE ORIGIN OF MAIZE,
In the Gays when the grand old woods untam-
ed
Stood erect in the sunsets red,
Or besprlndled the rushing floods unnamed
WIN the bloom of their summers dead,
Lived maid in hunters lodge, as lair
AS a flower o. the forest rude,
And as free as the free, untroubled air
W It's infinite solitude
But spirit, whose haunt was the riyer-shore
OFT caresslng her slender feet,
Stole glance at the gentle face rent DER
The unrest Of his winding.sheet
Ana 80 limpid the depth OF those dark eyes
-, Whence her innocent soul outshone
mat the god OF the stream desired, with signs
Ihat the maiden might be his own
Then he twined DER his brow the dripping
weed
And the mariner lily fair,
And in desperate mood Tor loves mad need
UP rose from his watery lair
Like startled gazelle the maid leaped back
Meath the tuttenng forests wing
with the flight of a tawn, when fierce hounds
track,
She escaped from the floods bold king.
But the sons OF the gods are feeter far
Ihan the daughters OF mortal king;
WIN the rush OF a meteoric star
Tie pursues, and she flies like wind.
Now a bend OF the stream her eyes deplore-
In her path in the watery depth;
Close behind is the god o fatal shore
On her face is chill, damp breath
With painting OF prayer, "Great Manitou,
Hasten now TO deliverl" she pleads:
Then, with sudden-born impulse, swift she
flew
To a bower OF river reeds
And tlaf. fpnv. I a. a 4
As ifswept in a whirlwind storm:
And behold in their light embraces wound,
She is changed to another form.
she is rooted in earth, her rare round arms
Into tapering leaves are grown,
And proud pluned stalk, her heart yet
warns,
Like princess the reeds enthrone.
Fine and silken, her hair sheaves round the
pearls
Flashed out from her smile of scorn,
Now the kernels of snow, the milk-set whorls,
VI beautiful ear Of corn.
Thus arrested, the god his chaplet filings
On the waves of his subject stream
How, TO mockery broken, lis current sings
OF his broken, deusve drcami
Then the passionate spirit, loiled, betrayed
Is dissolved into dew-hne sprays,
To adorn with a crown oftears the maid
Metamorphosed to graceful maize.
And as long as the rivers scOrn the chain
Of a future OF lengeese kings,
And as long Ms the pale mooI wax and wane
Der the wild of the "shadowing wings,n
When the moccasined foot of the red man
strays
Where his hammered fields unfurl,
Will he liken the ruStling leaves OF maize
To the flight of timid girl.

ANOTHER WEATHER PROPHET.


A rival Of Prof. Tice has appeared in
the person Of an aged citizen Of German
birth, named Henry Krocger. Mr..
kroeger resides in Wisconsin, and has
lived in the West fifty.one years. lie
can neither read nor write, but can OBJ
serve things and put them together, and
he has memory like an encyclopedia.
After running over the past ffty.one
years with his minds eye, Mr.. Kroeger
gances into the future, and prophesies
thus: After the next moon shows the
last bit Of its face. we shall have the
pleasantest autumn we have had for many
years. Early in November there will be
some cold days, but il will be mild and
pleasant during most Of the month, and
until the Goth Of December, when the
streams will freeze, but only thin sheet
Of ice will be formed. Between Christ.
mas and New Years there will be heavy
SHOWS for q few days. I'm January we
shall have the finest Indian summer we
have had since 1856. and there will be
only few cold DAYS. During the winter
there will be more rain than snow. and
little or no sleighing. There will be O
few cold DAYS in February, March will be
dry, cloudy, and warm. The weather in
April will be variable, cold and warm
spells alternating. In May il will b,
dry, and gardeners will fnd il neccssar,
to water their plants. Mr.. Kroeger, who
seems TO take true German interest
in beer, advises brewers to lay ia ice al
the first opportunity. or they may hav,
to send to Alaska OF Charles Francis
Adams for supplies.

LOVE AND coURTsH1P IN PORTUGAL

LOI r AMI tOChIOuiF IN PORI CGAL
Travelling in Portugal by John Latouche.,
The young men however, he says, have
one occupation more important even
than wearing tight boots, and which al
most, in fact, goes with it--that Of making
the very mildest love known among men.
The process, indeed, is carried on in so
platonic manner, and with so much
proper feeling, that | doubt if even the
strictest English governeSs would find
anything in it to object to. The young
gentlemen pay their addresses by simply
standing in front Of house occupied by
the object of their affections, while the
young person in question looks down APP.
prOyingly from am upper window, and
there the matter ends. They are not
within speaking distance, and have t.
content themselys with expressive chances
and dumb show; for it would be thought
highly unbecoming for the young lady TO
allow a billet dou.r to futter down into
the street, while the laws of gravitation
stand in the way of the upper fight OF
such a document unweighted, at least
with a stone, and this, of course, might
risk giving the young lady black eye,
or breaking her fathers window-paines,
so the lovers there remain, often for
hours, feeling, no doubt, ve'y happy,
but looking unutterably foolish. These
silent courtships sometimes continue for
very long periods before the lover can
ask the question, or the lady return a
final answer. ] heard a story of one
such protracted courtship which an in
genious novelist might easily work into
a pretty romance.
About forty or fifty years ago, before
the suppression Of converts in Portugal.
young lady was engaged to be married,
For some reason or other, the marriage
did not come off, and the girl was placed
in Benedictine nunnery at Oporto.
Soon after came the abolition ofconvents,
but when the monasteries were abso'
lutely dissolved, and the monks scattered
the nuns who were already inmates OF
religious houses were suffered there Il
remain. The young lady, accordingly
on the suppression occ ,rring, did not
leave the Benedctine convent. Ii is to b,
presumed, however, that the rules Of that
particular establishment were somewhat
relaxed, for the young gentleman who
had been engaged TO this nun was OBJ
served to take his constant stand before
the barred window of his former mistress
cell, while she would become visible be-
hind the grating. Here the romance |
have imagined would perhaps rather lack
incident, and, except in masters hand,
might grow monotOnous, for this hopeless
courtship lasted no fewer than four-and-
thirty years, till bowed and middle.

ed up TO a gray-haired mistress. 1t only
ended with the death of the lady, a few
years ago.

The Peach Crop.
Iorrcspondence OF the GAZETTE.


NzY YORK, June 2I, 1873.
Mr.. Editorials the peach crop of
|he'peninsula..will bean unusually large
Inc the coming season, 1t will become
hecsssary-if any profit Is to accrue to
line growers from it-that every posi-.
lie means should be used to secure
feady sales for that fruit.
A practical knowledge of the work
| M Of the markets convinces me that
the demand for peaches would be
rreatly increased if proper means for
Carrying them from tho market to the
houses of the consumers wero provideda
|By proper means, mean cheap pack.
|ages, many men would be willing to
bay forty, fifty and even sixty cents a
basket for peaches were 1t not that
|they were compelled to pay twenty
1--we cents per basket for worthless
article for as such consumers esteem
Ian ordinary peach basket. The phllo-
|sopby of this Is perfectly apparent to
any one who Is acquainted with Amer.
|ican human nature. Our yankee idea
rebels against the purchase of worth.
/ less articles when we might be willing
to pay seventy-five cens per basket for
peaches we would not purchase them
at fifty cents if we were compelled to
take a basket perfectly worthless to us
at twenty-five cents. Now, my theory
IL that il only ten cents deposit per
basket was charged by the commission
merchants hundreds of thousands OF
baskets would oever be returned TO
them simply because that same practi-
cal yankee element in our nature
which teuohes US that d peach basket
~ worthits ss at twenty. five cents Is fully
worth ten cents 10 carry the fruit home
from the market, and, consequently,
almost every one would be willing TO
give that much for them for Just such
purpose.
Now, If the peach growers were to
inform their commission men that they
we're willing to settle for lost baskets
on basis of ten cents, even though
they cost cent or two more, and In.
sist that no more than that amount be
collected from the consumer, they
would encourage demand for peach
es which they would not otherwise
have, and which would pay them we'll
for all they might be out in the differ.
snce in the cost of the basket and ten
cents.
That my motive may not be mlSun.
derstood / will state here what you
already know. I am not D commission
merchant nor dealer in peaches and
the interest have In the peach trade
Is that OF grower in Delaware and 6
manufacturer not Gamer in New
