Why wilt thou go, my own sweet childl

There Is Profit In II.

Very few farmers farm well enough to
have good seed. They know the fact that
their seed is poor, but comfort themselves
with the belief that seed always runs out
and has to be changed. The truth is that I'M
der good culture and selection seed improves I;
under bad culture, either with or without
selection, it runs out. Now knowing that
the majority do not farm well enough to
have good seed, the chance is open to at
least one careful intelligent farmer in every
town, to make a good business for himself
by raising two or three standard crops in
such perfection that he can sell the product
at an extra price, for seed. There is no diff
fculty in doing this; only you must not ex-
pect your customers among your immediate
neighbors. Generally they will feel insulted
at your presumption in growing better wheat,
oats or barley than they do; and when they
change their seed, as most of them have to
every little while, they will send hundred
miles rather than buy it of you. But the
poor farmers hundred miles away are Just
rather than buy it of the man your neighbors
send to- This is a little ineonyenient, since
1t requires an expense, otherwise unneces.
sary, for Advertising But that really comes
out of the purchaser, for you will have to
add the cost of the advertisement to the
price you would otherwise sell for.
Those who undertake seed raising should
determine TO be satisfied only with producing
a really first rate article. Each year SOW or
plant none but the best, place it under the
most favorable conditions possible, as to ex-
posure, soil and cultivation, and in few
seasons, by judicious management, grade
may be reached and reputation made
that will give a rich return. Whoever
could to-day offer five hundred bushels of
oats, barley or spring wheat, acknowledged
to be the best Of their kind in the country,
could command his own price within reason.

A writer says: The ancient Egyptians
had bedsteads and mattresses or spring
beds woven of bamboo or palm branches.
"The Egyptian bedstead," says a learned
writer, "aithough there seems to have
been considerable diversity in the shape
of the canopy and the means by which it
was decked with ha igings, and although
it sometimes resembled four-poster,
was generally similar in form to our
couch. 1t manifested a considerable
amount of taste. One end was raised,
and receded in graceful curve; tie legs
were sometimes straight, some Simes
curved, and the feet were often fash toned
to resemble the claws of animals. The
fittings for the day seem to have been
different from those used at night. In
the daytime there were spread over
them coverings, on the gorgeous decora,
tions of which those who were able were
lavish in expenditure they then an
swered much the same purpose as our
sofa. Thus we are told that when the
murderers, bent on their deadly work,
went to Ishboseth, the son of Saul, they
found him lying on his bed. When, too,
the deputation waited on David to thank
him for comforting his crown OH Solomon
he must have been reclining on his bed,
for it is said that, in token of his pleas
ure, he raised himself thereon. 1t is also
related of Jacob that he laid himself on
the head of his bed"

Beauty Independent of Youth.

Helen of Troy was over forty when she
perpetrated the most famous elopement
on record, and as the siege of Troy lasted
decade she must have been quite elderly
when the ill-fortune of Paris restored her
to her husband, who is reported to have
received her with unquestioning love and
gratitude.
Pericles welded Aspasia when she was
thirty-six, and yet aiterward for thirty
years or more, held an undiminished rep

Cleopatra was past thirty when Antony
fell under her spell, which never leasened
until her death, nearly ten years later |;
and Livia was thirty.three when she won
the heart of Augustus, over whom she
maintained her ascendency to the last.
The extraordinary Diane de Poictiers
was thirty-six when Henry II, of France
(then Duke of Orleans. and just half her
ase), became attached to her, and she was
held as the first lady and most beautiful
woman at court up to the period of the
monarch's death and of the accession to
power ofCatharine of Medicis.
Anne of Austria was thirty-eight when
she was the handsomest queen of Europe,
were her jealous admirers.
Ninon de PEnclos, the most celebrated
wit and beauty other day, was the idol of
three generations of the golden youth of
France, and was seventy-two when the
Able de Bernis fell in love with her. A
rare combination of culture, talents and
personal attractions endowed their poa.
SCISSOR seemingly with the gifts of eternal
youth.
Blanca Capello was thirty-eight wher
the Grand Duke Francisco, of Florence,
fell captive to her charms, and made her

JaDanese Money.

One of the greatest curiosit!es in Japan
to the stranger is the wonderful variety
of coins that are used daily. In some in.
stances it takes one thousand pieces to
make one dollar. These are called
"cash," and are seldom received by for
eigners, who, as a general rule, refuse to
take them in change. Imagine making
trade of five cents and giving man a
fifty-cent piece, then receiving four hun
bred aiu fifty of these cOppers. This
coin is peculiarly made, having a square
hole in the center. They are about the
size of our dime pieces, and nearly two
thirds of the thickness. Next to this
comes the quarters of a cent, then the
halfcent, eighttenths of a cent, and the
one and two-cent pieces. In silver coins
they have the FIVE, ten, twenty, fifty
cent and one-dollar pieces. In gold the
one, two, five, ten and twenty dollars,
which are very pretty coinages indeed.
Next to this comes the government series
of paper money, in various denomina.
tions, ranging from five cents to one hun.
dred dollars. This money is made on
quite inferior paper to ours, and from
general appearance will not last like the
American money.

catching OIL the step he will 90 through

and threaten the boy and appear to be

will stamp his foot with vigor, and a
thing like a graphing will suddenly

The other evening while one of our
citizens was sitting in his door-y .rd with
little four-year-Old daughter on his lap,
she became interested i'm the stars over
head, and commenced asking all sorts OF
questions about them. To awaken an
abiding interest in the "orbs of night"
he gave her such information concerning
them as he thought suited to her young
mind, and then preceded to point out to
her the stars forming the Clipper" She
listened eagerly 10 every word, and
watched so closely that she caught the

A New Dodge.

A negro man conveyed two trunks to
the steamer Colonel A. p. Kouns, stating
that they were the property of man
and his wife, who were going up deck
passengers on the boat to Alexandria.
He was told by the mate to take them to
the engine-room, out of the way of
freight, and leave them. The man and
his wife did not make their appearance,
but in the evening the party who had
brought the trunks on board came down
and remarked that they would go on to
Shreveport instead of Alexandria. About
the time the day Waterman was relieved
by the night Waterman, and while the
night Waterman had gone to the forward
part of the boat, two sacks of coffee mys-
teriously disappeared. Search was made
for the same, but no clew could be dis
covered of the thief or coffee. 1t was
given UP as lost. About five o'clock the
following morning a woman called on
board and wanted the trunks, saying
that they had concluded to go by rail in
stead of on the boat. The Waterman of
course refused to deliver them, and her
actions aroused his suspicious, and after
she had gone away he concluded to take
a look into the trunks, and upon doing
so found the missing coffee nicoly slowed
away, one sack in each trunk. The
trunks have not been called for since

Dogs for the Arctic Expedition.

In addition to the sledges drawn by
the men, the expedition will be furnished
with five or six sledges to be drawn by
dogs, of which sixty are to be taken on
board the ships at the Danish settlement
of Uppernavik, on the coast of Green
land, to be used when sledging operations
commence. Sir Leopold M'Clintock
states as the result of his experience,
that two dogs can drag as much as one
man. Several tons of the choicest dog
biscuit have been provided for their
use, although some doubts are entertained
whether they will be duly appreciated,
experience having proved that the
Greenland dogs prefer devouring each
other to any food which can be offered
them. Nothing" says Admiral Os-
born, "can be more exhilarating than
dog-sledging in the Arctic regions on a
fine day. The rafting pace of the dogs;
their intelligence in choosing the road
through the broken ice; the strict ODE
dieDce paid by the team to one powerful
dog whom they elect as leader; the arbi-
trary exercise of authority by the master
dog; the constant use of the whip, and
the running conversation kept up by
the driver with the different dogs, who
well know their names, afford constant
enjoyment" however useful they may
be, these arctic dogs seem to be deficient
in that afiectionate disposition which en-
dears their species SO much to man.
Captain Vessy Hamilton stated, at re.
cent meeting Of the Royal Geographical
Society, that he believed the Esguimaux
dogs to be the most uLgrateful creatures
in creation. He had travelled for several
hundred miles by sledges, and for six
weeks it was his duty regularly to feed
the dogs; but after only a few weeks
absence, at the conclusion of the journey,
they would not recognize him in the
slightest degree. Sir Leopold M'Clin-
took, who may be said to have originated
this mode of arctic travelling, states that
it would be mistake 10 attempt to house
the dogs, as they can live near the ships
during the whole winter, and if treated
differently, would sicken and die

the dazzling brilliancy and transparent
clearness Of the atmosphere. The sky,

The little brooklet ripples along,
Every bubble singing song;
II tangles the sun In Its crystal skein,
And II answers back 70 the fretting rain
Along Its margin the ferns unfold,
And the violets shapen out Of the mold
And the hag-nswer leans as II fain TO snatch
A hint OF the brooklet's musical catch,
While the arrow-heads are wading out
10 watch the flashing OF silver trout.
Day after day, and night after night,
II seems TO be running away out Of sight;
But the way Is long, and the path is rough,
And day aud night are not long enough.
Orion looks on its quivering stream,
His belt and buckle upon IL CLEAN,
And all the stars that haunt the sky
Reflect their splendor In passing by.
oh, happy brooklet, that bears along
The sklmming swallows early song;
The secret Of each neighboring nest,
Of lilies anchored on It's breast
That every day, and perhaps forever,
Plays out OF doors In all sorts Of weather
