HOME CIRCLE.
BY.-AND.-BY.

There's little mischief maker,
That is stealing half our bliss,
Sketching pictures in dream.land
That are never seen in this.
Dashing from the lips the pleasures
OfthC present while we sigh
You may know this mischief maker,
For his name is By-and.By.
lie is sitting by your hearthstones,
With his sly, bewitching glance,
Whisp ring of the coming morrow
As the social hours advance:
Lettering, mid our calm reflections,
Hiding forms of beauty nigh;
He's a smooth, deccitful fellow,
This enchanter, By-and-By.
You may know him by his winning,
BY his careless, sportive air;
BY his sly, obtrusive presence,
That is straying everywhere;
BY the trophies that he gathers
Where his sombre victims lie,
For bold, determined fellow
Is this conqueror, By-and-By.
When the calls Of duty haunt US,
And the present seems TO be
All the time that ever mortals
Snatch from dark eternity,
Then a fairy hand seems painting
Pictures on a painted sky,
For n cunning little artist
Is the fairy, By-and-By.
" By-and-By" the wind is singing,
By and-By," the heart replies;
But tho phantom just above us
Ere we grasp it ever flies.
List not to the idle charmer,
Scorn the very specious lie
do not believe or trust in
This deceiver, By>and. By.

Berkshires.

Says the Livestock Journal W hich is
one of our best authorities on stock /:
The Berkshire is probably the nearest
thoroughbred among swine, and in
that class is like the Arabian among
horses. 1t is undoubtedly the highest
type of hog. They have all the good
qualities, are good breeders, good
mothers, mature early, fatten easily
and at a young age, and can live on
clover and grass almost as well as
sheep.
Some people have prejudice
against the black color in swine, and
would on that account object to either
Berkshire or Essex.

A New Story of Mr.. Lincoln.
New York Tribune.

In his speech at Mr.. Beecher's house,
at Peekskill, Monday night, the Hon.
Chauncey NJ. Depew was dispelled, by
an allusion to the great amount of
testimony and the little evidence taken
IN the six months, trial of the Tilton
suit, to tell an anecdote of the late
President Lincoln, which we do not
remember to have seen printed.
Mr.. Depew prefaced it by saying
that when, as Secretary of State of
New York, he visited Washington in
1854 to look after matters directly TO
Mr.. Lincoln, who was one day re-
minded Of Orsty, which he declared
was one of the only two anecdotes
original with him, Notwithstanding
his reputation for story telling. Il
only apply the good stories others tell
me-" the President said. The story
which he thereupon proceeded to tell
Mr.. Depew was to the effect that many
years ago, when practicing in Illinois,
he had appeared for the defendant in
a case of assault and battery, in which
the complainant did not seem to be
very much injured, although he had
been through long series of brawls.
In the course of the plaintiffs eXami-
nation, Mr.. Lincoln asked:
How much ground did you fight
over?'
About six acres, ,. was the reply.
Don't you think" asked Mr.. Lin
coin, "that that was an almighty
small crop of fight for so much
ground! !"
Amid the rOars of laughter which
followed, and in which the voice of
Mr.. Beecher was head above all the
Others, Mr.. Depew suggested that it
was needless to make the application
to such a quickly appreciative au-
dience.

OUTWITTED.-A resident of Detroit
who has a thrifty cherry tree in his
yard borrowed a stone dog and placed
the imposition at the foot of the tree to
scare away any bad boy who might
want a feast of cherries after dark.
He was flattering himself that.he had
a dead sure thing OH the boys, when,
the other morning, he went to find
the legs and tail broken Off the image,
and the body sticking in the ground
and labeled:

The Central Catholic quotes para
graph from another paper, which says
that European Catholics are welcome
in this country, $50 long as they cease
to interfere with our institutions and
politics from a religious basis" The
Central Catholic proceeds to denounce
the current folly of claiming the Uni
ted States as Protestant country, and
adds: Now learn, poor simpletons,
once for all, that the tables are turned
on you. These Catholics and their
brethren in this country will tolerate
you, and give you fair chance in our
own country, whether you behave or
not. The country is ours, by discov-
cry and conquest, and will remain
our country, Notwithstanding the fact
that we have allowed your miserable
blue blood 10 be fed on this pure air of
freedom. From Behring's Strait to
Cape Horn America is Catholic
country and in these United States,
Notwithstanding your importance
aud ill-breeding, we give you equal
rights with ourselves"

ALFALFA.

On repeated occasions we have called
attention to this superior variety of
clover, so prolific and valuable in Cal
ifornia, Chill and the interior of Mexi-
co. We lately referred to experiments
so successfully made in Dallas. The
patch in DIR. Duzan's yard, about
fifty feet square, was sown in March,
thirteen months ago. BY July it had
attained an average height of fifteen
inches. 1t then bore II full crop of
seeds and assumed about the texture of
garden sage, but as soon rs rains came,
late in September, the old plants speed
lly assumed rich green hue, the fresh
seeds came up thickly, and throughout
the winter it maintained its spring
like appearance, and could have been
grazed n large portion of the time. AS
spring opened it grew rapidly and
would now yield good crop of hay.
In California il is sOwn three and
four times year. Here it is believed
three cuts may be made. That it will
stand drought, heat and our severest
winters, is certainly u demonstrated
fact.
A number of our citizens are trying
ii thsseason, and we would urge every
farmer to do so. Its value, if its trial
so far is n test, is beyond estimation.
1t is destined, we fondly hope, to make
Texas literally a land of milk and
honey. Samples may be seen at this
Office, nt the district clerks office and
at the national bank.

such thoroughly good, because natural,
dialogues, and you can rarely make an
accurate guess at the denOuenlent in

other respects, Mrs. Stephens is intin-
itely superior to all other writers of the
