Oft | love to wander
When the twilight hour is clear,
To tie grave of one who loved mo
While she fingered with me here.
When the day is slowly dying,
Aud where she slnmbers kneel,
Something in that hour of ealmness
Doth my hearts bereavement heal.
Freshly are they strewn before me
Flowers that withered when she died,
Borne away by deaths pale angel
With my darling from my side.
Every earthly hope and pleasure
All to which her glance gave birth,
Like Hover in darkness shrouded,
With her withered back to earth.
Lowly Ger these hallowed memories
Sorrow breathes her softest prayer,
Mourning that SO much of promise
Perishcd in form so fair:
Yet the love and hope we cherished
Will in fatleless beauty bloom,
Like fair flowers that never wither

Tie Washington Artillery.

The most remarkable gathering of
veterans in this city since the war
was that of the Washington Artille-
~, Thursday. The boyish look of
most Of the members when they
commenced as soldiers fifteen or
twenty years ago, has given place to
incipient badness and a tendency to
sable silyered locks. The old soldier
is getting on. Company muster
rolls that contained over three hun
dred names cannot get more than
twenty -fye men to answer them now.
This reunion of one hundred and
forty-two comrades who had learned
each others ways on the battlefield,
was one of the most pleasing exhibi-
lions ever witnessed in the city, and
by the kindly display of feeling,
thoroughly affected outside onlook-
ers. 1t is not often possible for such
u large body Of friends to be brought
together after long periods Of separa
ton, and that Of the last meeting of
the Famous Artillery as they
were called during the war, may be
regarded as marvel and curiosity.
in the way Of extraordinary gather
ings. We frequently imagine what,
would be the scene if all our old col
lege mates, playfellows, or the youth
with whom we grew up could be
brought together-but such things
are rather dreamed Of than hoped
for. But that of Thursday night
was practical realization of the
idea--a meeting together Of a large
band of personal friends Of kindred
tastes, education and habits-ths

CROSSING OF SWINE.-In the States
of Illinois aud Iowa, crosses of the
Berkshire and Poland China have
been tried with very gratifying re-
suits, SO far as obtaining choice ami
mails for feeding is concerned. But
it will not do to select bears so bred
for breeding purposes. The Journal
has often expressed the opinion that
general farmers, who make the pro
duction Of pork their main object,
cannot afford to-make the necessary
effort, or give the necessary time and
attention to bring their herds up to
that high standard which will rem
der it safe to select breeding stock
from it. They can better afford to
let the professional breeders do this,
and then buy bears from them at
such intervals as will enable them to
keep their herds up to the best pro-
dacing standard. The Importance
of selecting boars Of the very best
types cannot be too strongly urged
upon the attention Of the farmer,
and the better the quality of his
stock, the more care should he exer-
else in the selection of new crosses.

The Blind Member OF Parliament.

they file in by the main entrance, will

woman to invade the floor of the House
of Commons after the Chaplain's mean
tation had been heard, even so far as to
conduct her blind husband to his seat, so
she has to consign him to youth who
stands waiting to lead the blind member
to his place. As she turns away many a
friendly face will smile and many a
pleasant word attend her as she trips
lightly up the stairway leading TO the
Ladies' Cage near the roof of the house.

A Pet Monkey.

A NAN came along with monkey
and without money. 1t was a lively
monkey, but the man needed money
very badly, and would take fifteen dol

and took him at the price. The monkey
was of an exceedingly sociable disposi-

that Mr.. Monkeys predictions ran in

he had been one of the family for several
days. One day as the monkey was
amusing himself with some toilet arti-

had completed the work of smearing
hair oil over his head and shoulders.
Fearing chastisement. the monkey
skipped madly around the room, with
the open hair-oil bottle in his hand, and
with every jump the oil scattered in all
directions over the bed, chairs. carpet
and other furniture. Then Frame be-
thought himself that he wanted to make
