From the Ohio Farmer.
By the Streamlet.
BY NELLIE NCKESNA.

Once again tread the pathway
Winding past the rustic bridge,
And wonder where 1t leads me,
over level land or ridge.
All me! tits years since last rambIed
Through these woods in autumn days
since stood beside the streamlet,
In Its waters clear to gaze.
Here pause beside the streamlet
Near the little landing place
Where sent my boat out sailing
Through what once seemed boundIess space
Inc planks with age are fast decaying,
And around them ivy creeps,
And from every crack and creviee
Blades OF grass and green moss peep.
Still the waters flow as ever
Clear and sparkling on their way,
As when in the years long vanished,
watched the ripples dance and play.
once again the autumn sunlight
GI1mmers through the naked trees
And the leaves are round me lying,
And sigh is in the breeze
For old memories are stealing
Ger my spirit, sweet and low,
And in fancy here ramhle
AS rambled long ago.
have strayed mong sunny bowers,
II sunny lands where skies are bright,
But the dear loved scenes OF childhood
Are the tairest to my sight.
If had known in the morning
How wearily all the day
The words unkfnd
Would trouble my mind,
1 had been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless pain;
But we Vex tour own"
With look and tone
We may never take back again.
We @ have ess careful f thoughts for the stranger,
But oft for sour own
The bitter tone,
Though we love "Our own" the best,
An, lips with the curve inpatient
All, brow with that look of scorn!
'Twere a cruel fate
Were the night too late
To undo the work OF the morn.

We we're shown on Monday a wonder
full article Of home production in the
way Of fruit. MIR. A. Il. Phillips, well
known attorney of our city, showed us
bunch Of fig bananas grown in the
garden attached TO his residence, 2S2
EspIande Street, on which were seventy
five bananas. There are three Of these
punches To each plant, and the plants are
twenty-five feet in height, with stalk
measuring sixteen inches in diameter.
These bananas are in themselves almost
curiosities; they are very large, and of
a peculiarly delicious flavor, which sue
ccssfully rivals the famous Havana fig
banana. One Of the bananas taken from
the bunch and put upon the scales was
found to weigh five-sixths Of pound.
Mr.. Phillips Is quite devoted TO amateur
gardening, and has succeeded admira-
bly,, not only raising many specimens Of
delicious fruit, but in cultivating splen-
did flower garden, filled with rare ex-
otics.-Ncw Orleans bulletin.
