ST.MORTEM LOVEr


If you're ever going to love me
Love me now, while can know
All the sweet and tender feelings
Which from real affection flow
Love me now, while am living;
Do not wait till l am gone,
And then chisel it in marble
Warm love-words on e.cold stone.
II you've dear sweet thoughts about me,
Why not whisper them to met
Don't you know twould make me happy,
And as glad as glad can beY
IT you wait till am sleeping
Meier to waken here again,
Yhere'll be walls OF earth between US,
And couldn't hear you then.
If you knew some one was thirsting
For a drop OF water sweet,
Would you be 50 slow to bring it?
Would you step with laggard ieet
There are tender hearts all round us,
Who are thirsting tor our love,
Shall we begrudge to them what Heaven
Has kindly sent us from above.
won't need your kind caresses
When the grass gr WIS Ger my face.
won't crave your love or kisses
In my Last, low, resting place.
So it you 90 love me any,
II it's but little bit,
I'd rather know it now, while
Can, living, own and treasure it.

Charles Francis Adams, Jr., in his paper
on railroads, in the November Atlantic,
thus describes the Foxbrough accident;-
A very apt illustration of what might
have been the result in these cases was
furnished in an accident, not dissimilar
to that at Shipton-on- Cherwell in char.
acter, which happened in Massachusetts
on the Boston and Providence Railroad
upon July Is, 1872. AS an express
train was running up to Boston about
noon OF that day, and at rate of speed
of some forty miles an hour, it came in
contact with horse and wagon at a
grade crossing in the town Of Fox borough.
The train was made up of thoroughly
well'bullt cars, which were equipped
with both the Miller platform
and the Westinghouse train
brake. There was no time in
which to check the speed, and it thus be-
came simple question Of strength Of
construction, to be tested in an unayoida.

wagon and instantly destroyed it. The
horse had already cleared the rails when
the wagon was struck, but portion
Of his harness getting caught on the loco
motive, he was thrown down and dragged
short distance until his body came in
contact with the platform of station
close to the spot of collision.
The body was then forced

under this car, and between it's forward
and it's hind truck, that the body Of the
horse was forced; coming then directly
in contact with the truck Of the rear
wheels, it tore it from its fastenings and
thus let the rear end of the car drop
upon the track. In falling, this end
snapped the coupling by its weight, and
so disconnected the train, the locomotive
going off towards Boston dragging this
single car with one end of it dumping
along the track. Meanwhile the sue.

the body of the horse and the discon-

their turn were also torn off: and SO

THE SCOTCH JOHN BROWN.


The London correspondent of the San
Francisco Neacs Letter gives an anecdote
showing the extreme confidence which
the queen vests in her faithful servant {:
Ia Johns affection for Her Majesty is
very great. 1t was Prince Albert who
first took the man, simply because he
was straightforward and extremely indie
pendent. John never alters his broad
Scotch tongue to please any one, not
even royalty itself. The Queen was once
getting settled costly upon her little
Highland pony. The animal being small
and the road dusty, 1t became necessary
to tuck up her riding habit with a pin.
John Brown was performing this Office,
when suddenly, 20 dear!' exclaimed
her majesty, ''you have pricked me,
Brown" 'Your Majesty Should wear
mair claes. Them was Johns reply.
Brown was presently after sent to fetch
a certain mantle which the Queen des-
cribed. Instead of bringing the one des.
cribed, John brought a much thicker
one. ''Brown," said the Queen that
isn't the one at ALL "It's just this and
nae ither, your Majesty" said John,
:buckling it behind the saddle; 81 ken
mair about the weather than you,'' and
the Queen submitted like child.

WAPELLo, De Writ Co., Ill, June 3
The prospect for wheat in this country
is very good, unless it should yet be de-
stroyed by the inevitable chinch-bugs,
which abound in countless numbers,
Oats have improved greatly since the late
rain, and bid fair to make two-thirds OF
crop. The corn.prospeCt is very fair,
The farmers are about through planting
The early. planted had to be planted over
and, though the season has been late and
cold, large percentage Of it is up and
ready to be cultivated. Meadows and
pastures, which seemed about to dry up,
are looking well since the late rains
Apples and the smaller fruits will be u
fair average crop. Fat hogs are about
all shipped out, and but very few stOckers
remain on hand; in consequence Of which
the shipments from this point the coming
season will DO Light, The Colorado po'
tato-bng has not put in its annual ap'
pearanCe as yet, and We are led to believe
that it has about "run its course"
GALESA, I'LL, June 1--WE shall have
little fruit in this section this year,
Cherries arc al entire failure; pIums ditto,
and few varieties Of apples.
FoRT SCOTT, June 1.-The heavy rains
that visited this section Of country have
apprcciatively diminished the number Of
grasshopperS, but there is great abnnd-
unce here yet, Many are getting wings,
and they will DO able to navigate the air
in very short time. The crops north,
between this city and Kansas City, have
been badly damaged. At least so per
cent Of the wheat, corn, oats and flax
has been destroyed. Along the line Of the
Gulf Railroad, every vGstige Of vegcta-
ton has been taken. The weeds even
have been consumed. But the farmers
are replanting, and, II the season should
prove favorable, they may yet raise u
good crop. South Of this place, in Cher
Okee and Crawford counties, the 'hOppeFs
are doing comparatively little damage.
Their depredations have been almost eX-
clusively confined to creek bottoms. The
prairies are clothed with u luxuriant
growth and the crops are looking splen-
did. Wheat is headed out, and the corn
is q to 8 inches in height. Very little
damage is apprchended from the locusts
in Southern Kansas.
ST. LOUIS, June 1.-The Republican,
Kansas City special says that DurkCe
and Govt, extensive farmers near North
Scott, Kansas, have recently examined by
dissection large number OF grasshop-
pers, and found that three.fourths OF them
contained well-dCveIoped live maggots,
which, they are confident, will soon cx-
terminate the pests in this country, In
further proof OF the existence OF this mag
got, they say large pile Of grasshoppcrs
which they have Killed were almost i'm.
mediately alive with mnggots.
Iowa Cry, June I've have had fine
rains here yesterday and to-day, which
are much needed by the crops. Grass
will fall short by onc.third at least Of a
full crop in this county because Of the
dry weather.
