Sowing Glover Seed.

A correspondent asks us if he should sow
clover seed on his spring grain before ,sowing
the grain, so that one hal rowing will answer
for both, and also how much to sow per acre
1t is not best to harrow after sewing clover
seed, as it covers the small seeds so deeply
that many of them will not terminate. If the
ground is in proper filth no covering will be
needed as the seeds will naturally be washed
under fine particles of soil by the first rain,
With winter wheat, or rye, it is a good prac.
tice TO harrow the surface before sowing clo-
yer seed; or, with winter grain, the seed may
be sown on frozen ground before it is dry
enough to harrow. FREEING and thawing will
cover the seeds sufficiently. One peck Of clo-
yer seed per acre should be sown on all land
where, clover seed has not recently been
grown Vermont Journal. =.

The Time tn PLANT

1t is useless to put seeds in the ground, the
american Garden sensibly saws. before the
soil becomes warm and dry. For this reason.
no particular time can be specified for plant
ing. Everything depends upon the location,
soil and temperature. A very good guide is
the taking up of handful of the loan and
closing the fingers tightly upon it. II, on
opening the hand, the soil remains in hard
lump and retains the imprint of the fingers,
it is too wet; while if it falls apart in an ir-
regular heap, it may be deemed in condi-
ton for the seeds. Another reminder. and
one that will prove guide in all ATTITUDES, is
the forest tree. When trees put forth their
young leaves, all nature is ready for active
work. Seeds planted then terminate at once.
and seldom tail to come up and grow vigor-
ously, Nothing is gained by very early plant.

The Happy Warrior.


Who is the happy warrior? Who is he
Whom every man in arms should wish to be?
1t is the generous spirit, who when brought
Among the tasks of real life, has wrought
Upon the plan that pleased his childish thought
Whose high endeavors are an inward light
That make the path before him always bright;
And who. If he be called upon to face
Some awful moment to which Heaven has joine1
Great issues, good or bad for human kind
Is happy as lover; and attired
With sudden brightness like man inspired
IT'S. finally, the man, who. lifted high.
Conspicuous object in nations eye;
VINO not content that former worth stand fast,
LOOKS forward perseverng to the last;
Finds comfort in himself and in his cause;
And while the mortal mist is gathering, draws
dis breath in confidence of Heavens applause.
This is the happy warrior; this is he
Whom every man in arms should wish to be.

A Cafh0lIc GniniGn.

The New York Freeman'S Journal has
long been regarded as one of the ablest
and most influential Catholic papers in
the United States. IL keonly watches
all political movements, and does not
hesitate to speak Of them in the tcrsost
and most emphatic manner. OF course
it did not overlook the Cincinnati
Convention, and IN its issue Of June
24th, wo find the following leading edi-
torial:
"All things considered, the nomina-
tons for President and Vico-Prosidcnt
made at Cincinnati are as strong and
polite as could have been DEVISED Mr.
Hayes, Governor Of Ohio, IS dignifed,
behaving sort OF man, without any
bitter enemies, and of good personal
reputation. lie is by far the least unfit
man for the place of President that the
Black Republican party IN its twenty
years of existence has proposed for the
Presidency.
lie is man Of considerable educa-
ton, and, as o man for routine, not
likely TO commit himself to rash pro
jects. Ills nomination, with that Of Mr.
Wheeler, of northern Now York, for the
Vicc-Prcsidercy, takes the canvass out
of tho Objectionable rut of = sensoiess
"aDti-popery" crusade.
Many Catholics in Ohio voted for Mr.
Hayes for Governor because his views,
they supposed, suited theirs on questions
of every day life. Many Catholics, all
over the country. will vote for his Presi-
dental electors on purely political rca-
sons.
1t is possible, even, that tho Demo
cratic party-so ca!led-may mako such
o terrible mistake in its nomination as
to disrupt that party forever, even be-
fors the election. In that case a great
many Democrats Of the old school may
rally to tho ticket ofHayes andWheeler,
and put Gov. Hayes, as President, in q
position OF Independence not only Of the
thing called tho platform, bat of the
party that nominated him"
