What is Life 2

A little crib beside the bed.
a little face above the spread,
A little frock behind tho door,
A little shoe upon the floor.
A little lad with dark brown hair
A little blue eyed face and fair.
A little lane that leads to school,
A little pencil, slate and rule.
A little bithsome, winsome maid.
A little hand within is laid,
A little cottage, acres four.
A little old time household store.
a little family gathered round,
A little turf heaped, tear dewed mound,
A little added to his soil;
A little rest from hardest toll.
A little silver in his hair.
A little stool, and easy chair;
A little night in earth lit gloom;
A little cortege to the tomb.

Couldn't Fetch 'Em Over.

a correspondent Of the Free Press
writes from Pittsburg:
A genuine specimen of the darkey,
fresh from s. Old Virginia, was ON trial
the other day before Judge S., of Pitts
burg. The jury had inst come into
court and reported their failure to
agree. They stood eleven to one
against the prisoner.
The "culled pusson" of Africal
descent, stepping up to the eleven with
a polite bow, remarked: Seem men,
is dey no prospec of you's comm ober
to my sides"
This created much merriment, but
the stubborn mules (de eleven), as he
called them, wouldn't bulge worth a
cent. and as they went out to deliberate
once more and endeavor to come to
some agreement and verdict, the dar-
key was heard to say: ST don't like

Rights of Alien Property Holders in
the United States.

The disabilities of aliens in respect to
real property have been materially les
sened in most of our States; and in some
they are entirely removed, as in Mas
sachusetts, Maryland, Florida, Ohio,
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska,
Dakota, and Nevada. In New York,
South Carolina, Texas, and many
others, the alien may take, hold, and
devise lands after declaring his intention
to become citizen in conformity with
the naturalization laws. In Connecti-
cut and California the alien, if resi-
dent in the State, may purchase, hold,
Inherit, and transmit lands in the same
manner as citizen. The right of for
fixture, it should be observed, is very
rarely exercised by the States; on the
contrary, the Legislatures are very lib
eral in making laws to cure defects of
titles arising out of the alienage OF
former. holders, and in releasing in
favor OF the natural heirs the right OF
escheat which may have accrued to
the State by the death of an alien an
cestor in possession Of lads. In re.
spect to personal property, aliens may
at common law take, hold, and dispose
of it, and make and enforce contracts in
respect to it, just as native citizens may
do.-Appletoa's american Cyclopg

Lucerneifor the South.

Lucerne, Spanish trefoil, alfalfa or
Chill clover, is. I believe, now proved
to be the same plant. This clover
seems to have been extensively cult

temperate and mountain regions of
South America and Northern Mexico.
though, SO far as I can ascertain. it
never gained foothold in Texas during
the Spanish or Mexican rule. I re-
member reading in an old United States
Agricultural Report Il forget the Year,
q very interesting article entitled
"Grasses for the South" which gave
the resalt of trials of many European
grasses and clovers in the State of
Georgia. The writer placed lucerne at
the head of all he had experimental on,
in it's adaptability to the climate of the
Southern States, and claimed that it
ought to entirely supersede the old
custom Of pulling fodder.
The writer's experience with lucerne
In California would lead him to indorse
all that can be said in it's favor. It is
not, perhaps, equal to red clover in nu-
tritious qualities, but infinitely superior
in its power of resisting lono-continued
heat or drought. I have seen it green
and hourishing, though closely grazed
by sheep, on the dry plains west of
Colusa, on the Sacramento River, in a
locality where grain rarely succeeded
for lack of rainfall Ny opinion is
that, except in favored localities, it will
not succeed as field crop north Of the
Potomac and the Ohio. The time is
coming when, with the help of rye and
turnips in winter and lucerne in sum-
mer, the Cotton States will make wool
leading article Of export. and restore
their exhausted lands to fertility.

A Seryian Legend.

The preverbial hospitality of the
Servian is illustrated by the following
legend: The day had Just departed and
the moon shone brightly over bare fields
OF snow, when stranger entered the
hut OF poor Servian named Lagare.
You are welcome, said Lagare, and,
turning to his wife, continued in a low
tone: "Zuibitka, make the fire blaza
and get the supper ready" Zuibitka
replied, "The forest is vast and the fag-
got burns cheerily on the hearth. but
where is the supper; have we not tasted
for two days?" fare you Serians,"
said the stranger, and have nothing to
give your guests 2" Poor Laeare
opened one cupboard, then another, but
both were empty; not q morsel of bread,
not q fruit did they contain. Shame
and confusion took possession of him.
Here is good food and fresh meat.
too, said the stranger, laying his hand
on the gol1en curls Of Tanka, the only
child Of his host. sIt shall never be
said then, that Servian was wanting
in hospitality" cried Lagare, and
seizing Tanka, he cut her
throat as if she had merely
been q lamb. After performing this
awful deed he swooned away, and Zui-
bitka fell to the ground with loud cry.
Who could describe the supper OF the
strangers Toward midnight Lagare
awoke to find his guest bending over
him, who said in a loud tone: 9 Rise,
Lagare, I am the Lord thy God. Ser
Wan hospitality has been tried and not
found wanting. Thy daughter is re-
stored. Abundance and peace shall
reign in your house evermore. Laoare
Zuibitka. Tanka, live long and prospect"

sulphuric Acid and Weeds.

A correspondent of the Journal of
Horticulture (Eng.) writes: stake an
old black:ng bottle, with a wire around
it to carry it by, and stick to dip with.
The stick should not be pointed, but
should be notched round for an inch or
two at the end, the better to hold the
liquor. Just one drop In the heart of
plantain is sufficient to cause death.
and the notched stick will contain at
one dip enough to destroy three or four
plants. 1t the acid is good, the work of
death can both be seen and heard. for
the vitriol Kisses, aud it burns up the
plantain in moment. A row of plan
tains a foot wide sprang up on a
lawn here, where an iron fence
formerly run. The owner, seeing
at q place he visited the good ef-
feet of vitriol, put the hint in practice.
The plantains were killed in an hour,
and have never appeared again. It is
three years since, and it is impossible
to recognize the line of the fence; it
completely burns the roots out. I have
tried it on large dandelions with the
same result. One of the young men
there amuses himself by hunting out
the longest thistles ne could find to ex-
pertinent On. The vitriol completely
killed them by eating the roots out.
One crop will do. Care is required that
it does not touch the skin, boots or
clothes; it is noe safe in the hands of
children, but man or woman, with ten
minutes practice, can kill plantains
more quickly than any lad can eat
gooseberries.

Directions fer Poultry breeders.

Hatch your breeding cockerels in
April. Hatch your breeding pullets in
June, and pen them together by Christ
mas. June-hatched pulets seldom Law
till February l, and hens seldom re-
cover from their moult and rest to Law
before that time, which, you see,
enables you to have eggs for Matching
IN the one case from pullets in their
first vfg0r ST reproductive life, and
from hens the first egg after rested
and renewed life and the conditions you
see are familiar, and in this case I DEFY
any man to get any better results from
the one tAan from the other. Use
cockerels from February l to May 10.
and then as fast as the females wish to
set transfer them to them hare of your
cocks from which to breed your late
May and June chickens, and if this rule
be followed, [ am quite sure there
viii be less cry of weak chicks from
pulets.
Early pullets, while they bring fabu-
lous prices as show birds, are worth
far less as breeders than the June hatch
ed birds, because February and June
Matched birds, because February and
March Matched pullet will commence to
lay IN September, and they lay from
five to six months before their eggs can
be used for Matching and commence
the breeding season in jaded, tired
condition, and it is to be marveled at
that pullets produce weaker chickens
than come from the thirteen or fourteen
eggs lain by a hen after her moult and
rest?-POultTy Journal.
