of the eruption. The fire rose up from
three lava craters in q line from south to
north which it had piled up around itself
on perfectly level piece Of ground At
a distance Of fifty to eighty fathoms to the
west from the craters a large fissure had
formed itself as the fire broke out, and the
land had sunk in to the depth of about
three fathoms. Into the hollow thus
formed the lava had poured at first, but
now it flowed in southwesterly direction
from the two southern craters. The north
ernmost crater had the appearance of be.
ing oblong, about 800 fathoms in length,
and from this crater the melted red-hot
lava was thrown about 200 or 800 feet
into the air in one compact column. The
top of this column then assumed a PALM
ated appearance and the lava fell down in
small particles like drops from a jet of
water, which, as they became separated
from the column, grew gradually darker
and split into many pieces, bursting into
lesser and lesser fragments as they cooled,
yet when they fell on the edge of the crater
they were still in such molten state that
they were splashed about like water
dashed against solid substance. As a

points within the largest crater, but most
toward the ends, and at times
the explorers could count twenty or thirty

the eruption, but a blush steam, which

Garden Vegetables.
A PHILADELPHIA gardener writes as

A Philadelphia gardener writes as fol-
lows to the New York Tribune:
Whenever I hear people remark that
fruits and vegetables are out of season,
and are only fit to eat during their usual
seasons, l think they need little instruc-
ton in growing luxuries in this line. A
dish of young, tender sweet peas late in
autumn to accompany game just as it
enters the market is something that an
epicure relishes above anything else, and
there is no mystery whatever in growing
it. Use an early variety, and SOW very
late; in fact allow just sufficient time to
secure the crop before an ordinary frost
can catch it, but not any more. If sown a
few days too early, the vines will be in
jured by mildew; if too late frost may
spoil all our work; but all have to say
is this: when once enjoyed at this season,
one can never curb the desire to possess
them forever after. And sweet corn in the
autumn, too why, it is one of my standard
dishes, lasting until frost puts quietus
on the growth. I make it a rule to
always plant a little piece of land
every two weeks with Stowell's ever
green until I think there will be
barely sufficient time to secure boil
ing ears before winter will be upon
us. EARLY turnips may be called out of
season, but I do enjoy a cropof nice fresh
juicy roots early in the season, before the
hot weather makes them stringy and
tough; and seldom do I find anyone re-
fusing to enjoy them with me, whether ad-
vocates for the regular season or not. I
always sow the Purple Top Flat Dutch, as
it grows quickly and rather enjoys the cool
weather of very early spring. Some peo-
pie are amused because I invariably have
a dish Of Early Scarlet Short Top radish
on my table as fitting tribute to the
capabilities of my garden. They grow
SO quickly and are so crisp and refreshing,
without the acrid taste of the summer
grown roots, that find it almost impossi-
BILE to get through autumn without my
usual supply. And few crisp, we'll
grown heads of lettuce are not amiss in
the cool autumn days when salads are in
order; they are easily grown, and are
very inexpensive luxuries that most peo-
pie may enjoy. The new Hanson variety
is excellent for this purpose, as it will
stand few hot days remarkably well.

MARGARET.

Into the garden walked; meier had seen her
Under .s. Budding white rose she stood in the
Vuie' and pale was her face, but maidenly
bright were her eyes,
falr as the ncwly.born moon when low in the
easterly skies.
There as I stood by her side my spirit grew
happy and free;
would had said what thought, that none
would I marry but thee
The far-of bells were tolling. for twas some
ones funeral-day,
And in the meadows close by the mowers
were moving the hay.
Into the garden 1 walked; but once had
seen her before;
vacant and still was the house, wide open
was standing the door.
Then silent and listening went up to the
curtainless bed,
lonely, and dead;
There was look on her face, as if she'd
been thinking of me.
Dear Margaret" then whispered I, "none
will marry but thee!
And the far-of bells were ringing, for twas
some ones wedding-day,
And in the meadows close by the mowers
were moving the hay.

Silent and dark was yon lake, as under the
desolate hill,
Lit by no CLEAN from the sky, it slumbered
there, dreary and still,
Till, with its swallow-like wing, the wind in
its wandering fight
Touched into music the reeds, and broke 1t
in ripples of light.
Silent and dark was my heart, till suddenly
thrilled by the tone
Tender and pure of the voice, which told me
was not alone.
Yet how l long to be dead, whene'er, on a
calm summer day,
The far off bells are ringing, and the mowers
are moving the hay!

Make Them Comfortable.

" Mary, why will you continue to put
up your shoulder in that awkward man.
ner?" said Mrs. Lane sharply to her little
girl. I" have reminded you of it half a
dozen times at least this very day, and
still you pay no attention to it. Now, re-
member, if you have to be spoken to
again about it this afternoon, shall keep
you at home from Aunt Lucy's to-mor-
row."
The child's face flushed, and, as she
looked down, her eyes half filled with
tears. She seemed timid and anxious lest
she should commit the fault again, yet it
was almost a certainty that she would.
"Come here, Mary dear" said Aunt
Lucy very gently, but with quite an in
dignant flush on her cheek. She began
to inhibition the little dress and examine
the make of the underwaist.
"Just as expected, sister," she said,
impulsively; "here is this handicapped

pling down over the point of the shoulder
in an aggravating way. What comfort
would you take with a garment acting that
way? Poor little shoulder" she said, as
she rubbed it gently with her soft, white
hand. "Now auntie will take stitch or
two here for the present, and will fix it
better when you take it off. Doesn't that
feel better? Now run and play, and after
while you'll get all out Of the fashion of
putting up one shoulder"
The little girl kissed her aunt grateful
ly, as she tripped away, much happier
than she was few minutes before:
"You should be ashamed of yourself,
sister," said the young lady energetically,
when she had gone, "to leave child in
such discomfort and then blame her for
acting awkwardly. have seen mother
scold her child for limping when she had
on shoe much too tight or one that had a
nail in the heel that hurt her at every step.
There is plenty of unavoidable suffering
in this world without adding any need

we can do to. make children comfortable
when we expect them to be good and be-
have with propriety. Full two-thirds of
the bad behavior of our children lies at
the parents door,"
The remarks of her spirited young SIS
ter set Mrs. Lane a-thinking, more serious
" than she had ever done before, on the
duties of parents to make their children
comfortable, and, it is to be hoped, the
good results were seen in her after treat

A knowledge Of Farming.

The first thing required to make good
farmer is spirit of entire devotion to the
pursuit. Without this no man can be a
farmer in the true sense of the term; and
the reason we have so many slip-shod
farmers is because they lack the steady APP
plication necessary to learn the art thor
oughly and master its many branches.
The man who f1atters himself that he can
make a good farmer, or make farming
profitable, and at the same time attend to
something else, will learn, if he is at all
learnable, before many years too, that he
is very ignorant about this great pursuit.
A successful farmer is marked man in
any community. There are not many of
them, these devoted, studious farmers but
when you find one he is prosperous; he
learns from his own observation and his
own operations and from all he meets he
learns something. Geo. Geddes, one of the
substantial farmers of New York, says in
letter to the New York Tribune, that one
source of his information about farming
was his hired men, and that he never
had good man to work for him but that
he obtained some useful information from
MN as to the time and manner of doing
teamwork. There are thousands of men
in our country who pretend to be farmers
who do not know the rudiments of prac-
tlcal farming. Such men lower the char
acter of the profession of which they are
members. When a farmer finds time to
leave his farm to travel with book-agent
or some machine peddler or patent-right
vender, it is certain that he lacks a know
ledge of his business. When farmer
finds time to 60 forth and buy a few car
loads of stock and take them to market,
it is a sure sign that he don't know he is
neglecting his business. When farmer
becomes an agent for anything, he don't
realize that his business as farmer re-
quires his whole time and attention. When
a farmer gets into debt and promises his
growing crop IN payment, he has no cor
rect knowledge of his business, and is
sure to turn out badly if he continues this
practice.
The truth of the whole matter is that to
be good farmer one must give the bust
ness his whole time; he must make the
pursuit one of constant study and research
and gain knowledge from every possible
source. We would like to press upon
young farmers the importance of gaining
full knowledge of the business to which
they have devoted themselves. If you
have entertained the notion that you can
as we'll attend to farming and do some
thing else as sort of filing in, and make
some money without interfering with the
main operations, you are deceived and
greatly undertaking the business of the
farm. 1t is a pleasure to see farmers
prosperous and to meet with those so de-
voted to their profession that they can give
you information on any point desired
