THE FlsHERMANS FUNERAL.

Upon the breezy head-land the nshermans grave
they made,
Where. over the daisies and the clover bells. the
birchen branches swayed.
Above Us the lark was singing, n tue c!oudless
skies OF June,
their ceaseless tune:
For the creamy line was curving along the ho!-
Where the dear old tides were flowing that he
would ride no more.
The dirge OF the wave, the note of the bird, ahd
the priests low tone we're blent
In the breeze that blew from the moorlind, all
laden with country scent;
But never thought Of the new-mcwh nay toss-
ing on sunny plains,
or lilies deep in the wildwood, or roses GEM
ming the laLes,
Woke in the hearts OF the stern, hronZeu lheh
who gathered around the grave,
Where Law the mate who had fought Win theni
the battle OF wind and wave.
How boldly he steered the cable across the foam
ing bar.
When the sky WAS black TO the eastward. and
the breakers white on the Scar {.
How his keen eye caught the squall ahead, how
his strong hand furel the sail,
AS we drove DER the angry waters before the
raging gale
How CHEEKY he kept all the long, dark night, and
never pa. son spoke
Good words Ike those he said 10 US, when at last
thu morning broke
So thought the dead mans comrades, rs silent
and sad they stood,
While the p aver WAS prayed, the blessing said,
and the dull earth struck the wood
And the WIDOWS sob and the orphans wall jar
red through the JOYOUS air;
How could the light Wind DER the sea blow on so
fresh ard fair?
How could the gay waves laugh and leap land
ward DER sand and stone.
While he who knew and loved them all lay lap
ped IN clay alone,
But for long. when to tae beetliag heights the
snow-tipped billOws TOLL,
When the cod and skate and dogfsh dart around
the herring sIOal;
When gear is sorted. and sails are set, and the
merry brerzrs blow,
And away to the dccp-sea harvest the stalwart
rca peTs go,
kindly sight and hearty word they will give
10 MIN VINO lies
Where the clover springs and the heather blooms
beneath the no! thern skies.

Profitable Crops.

A large number Of letters reach us
from farmers who inquire what crops We
would recommend to be raised upon
certain parcels Of land. with Wow Of
getting the largest cash returns. These
are very difficult questions to answer /;
in fact, any answer must be to large
extent empirical, and the opinion un-
trustworthy, as there are conditions 70
be taken into account of which We can
have no knowledge. Unless land is put
up in good tilth, no crop can be raised
with profit A hundred times We have
said to farmers. cultivate less land. and
put every rood Of that which is cult
waited into high condition. It is an
axiom in successful farming, that one
acre must be made to give returns equal
TO four, under the old system Of New
England farming. Make one acre give
you eighty or one hundred bushels Of
corn, or thirty-6ve bushels Of wheat,
the same Of rye. or three tons of hay.
and then you are on the road to. sucr
csssful farming. You cannot afford to
drudge away upon your land which
gives you but one-third Of these results.
We have one measured acre of land
which for twelve years We have studied
carefully and kept an account Of the
expenses and value Of the crops, and it
has afforded us much instruction !. Last
year the acre gave US thirty-6ve bushels
of summer rye, and about two tons Of
straw. The rye we sold the present
spring for $1.25 per bushel, and the
straw had cash value of FIVE dollars
per ton the cash value of the crop was
therefore $93.75. and from this We de-
duct the expenses SO far as they can be
fairly estimated about $2S, we have a
clear profit Of more than $65 from the
acre Of land, Now if farmer has ten
or twenty acres under cultivation, Civ
| ing like results. they afford him a fair
income, and with the returns from other
farm departments. the business Of farm
ing does not appear pecuniarily bad.
The truth is, farming must be studied
and we'll considered; it must be we'll
conducted, as a merchant conducts his
business, with intelligence. forethought,
and good common sense. Farmers
must look upon their land as a mer-
chant does upon his merchandise, and
the question to be pondered is, how
can make it pay me the best profit ?
Farming, that is. the. right kind Of
farming, is good business; We insist
upon it, it is a good business for man
to follow.-Hartmd Democrat

Stick to the Farm.

Within the last year or two, we can
number a half-dozen of our farmer
acquaintances who have been lured to
financial instruction by the glamor Of
speculation. And going back ten years,
and carefully looking up the history of
the men we know, who have left the farm
to engage in trade. we find that not one
in ten has succeeded. A recent case
has come to our knowledge that is full
of instruction to those who are tempted
to leave the farm. By his own exer-I
tions alone, this farmer had accumulated
a handsome competence, and at the age
Of fifty could look with pride over his
broad acres Of rich land, his fine herds,
focks. and comfortable buildings He
was out Of debt, and had handsome
surplus in bank. Two years ago, in an
evil hour. he was induced to invest in a
dry goods store. Last fall his farm and
stoek we're .pld for dstt, and be is re-
duced to the necessity Of day labor to
support his large and yet dependent
family. All the accumulation of over
thirty years hard ioil-many of them
privstion, ihardships, ! and the closest
econemy-swept away in few months
by this demon speculation. And this
is not solitary case. Every reader
can count similar ones in his list Of ac-
quaintances. They all teach one great
lesson-stick to your legitimate business
the business in which you have sue
ceeded "Let we'll enough alone" A
man who has lived all his life on farm,
stands but little chance to compete sue
cessfully with the men who haze, been
educated and trained for speculative
pursuits. The two occupations are ex-
tremes-honest toll at, one end. and the
tricks of trade at the other. If you
have good farm. keep it, adore it. inn
prove it, adore it. be proud of it, and
when you are done with it, hand it
down to your children; the best inheri-
tance with q good education, that you
could leave them.
