MINE"

MIME"
What ! kissed by the lips
Another has pressed !
RepOse on the heaving
Waves Of a breast,
That has ebbed and flowed
With fondest alarms
In the soft embrace
Of other arms !
Better be kissed
Blythe trembling wave
In the wandering walls
OF wat'ry grave;
Caressed in death
By the Mermaid's hands
Onthe drifting couch
OF the deep sea sand.
The dew of the lips
Must be slipped by me,
And the heaving wave
OF thy bosom be
An ocean whose tides,
As they ebb and flow,
No bark of the stranger
Shall ever know.

HOW THEY HANG A MAN IN CHINA
l observed one mode of Chinese capital
punishment known as ''the cage" The
''cage' used was between two and three
feet square, and oyer six feet high. Near
the bottom was a close floor of plank. The
four sides were open work of plank palings.
The planks composing the cover were made
to tit around mans neck, close enough to
hang him, but not close enough to strangle
him. The condemned man was put into
this cage, his head projecting above, the
cover fitting around his neck, and under
his feet a number of bricks, one above the
other, just enough to enable him to stand
on tiptoe. When this position, from wea-
riness, became uncomfortable, his only relief
was to hang by his neck. The design is to
make man suffer as much as possible, but
not kill him too quickly. Usually, after
criminal has been standing thus for a day
or so, one of the bricks is removed, and
then another, until he hangs by his neck
altogether. It is said that strong man
ordinarily will endure this torture several
days before life becomes extinct.
On the present occasion death was hast
ened more quickly. The man was put into
the cage on Sunday afternoon, believe,
about O'Clock. heard of it on Monday
morning, and went over to Annoy about
2 O'Clock in the afternoon to see him. He
had then been dead some time. The guard
said that he had died just before daylight;
that he was conscious of having committed
great crimes, and had FASTENED his own
death by kicking the bricks from under his
feet. But the people said privately that
the guard wished to get rid of their charge
that they might prepare to keep New
Years day (the Chinese New Year was
near at hand), and therefore had taken the
brick from under his feet during the night.
This probably was the fact.-Christian at

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

CARE OF FARM IMPLEMENTS.-Prob
ably the losses that are sustained on farm
implements every year, by leaving them
exposed to the sun, storms and dews, would
amount to hundreds of dollars in the ag-
gregate. When we pass farm house, and
see wagons out exposed to the sun, plow
lying in the field covered with rust, while
the cracks in the beam may be seen from
the road; harrow against the fence, with
the teeth dropping out, and looking as il
it had been there for months; hay racks
and other things gong to ruin for want of
being placed under cover, we need not ask
what kind of a farmer lives there, as we
read the answer in the general appearance
of the place-ea poor. shiftless fellow"
Farmers, this is hard name to give to
some of you, but you deserve it. If the
leaving OF your farm implements unshel-
tered did not cause you any pecuniary loss,
it would be supposed that you would have
pride enough to cause passers of your pre-
misses from making the remark, s'here lives
shiftless farmer" If one of your chill
dren asks you for money to buy a pair of
shoes, your reply may be, "my child, / have
no money; it is as much as I can do 10
keep body and soul together.-You must
go barefoot" while you are allowing 10
sun and rain to damage your wagons and
implements more in a week, than it would
cost to shoe your child for FIVE years.

CHURNING FOR BUTTER.-The mill Of
COWS soon after they have calved conta5ns
more butter and is much more easily
churned than it is afterwards. About
five months after calving the milk under-
goes a change, and the cream is not Only
less in quantity, but the butter globulas
are smaller. The reason why milk frot
in churns is, that when it sours, alcohol IS
formed by the decomposition of the sugar
of milk, and this causes the milk, when
shaken or beaten, to foam or froth. If
this froth exists to a large extent, butter
will not come, and the milk is useless for
churning purposes. The longer a COW is
MIXED after calving the less is the yield
of butter and the less nourishment is there
contained in the milk.

DRIED RAsPBERRIEs.-Thes are
among the choicest of our dried fruits, and
may be prepared with comparatively little
trouble. Pick them over carefully, spread
them on earthern plates, cover with net
ting to keep insects away, and dry in the
sun. Those who have hot-Ded sashes may
place clean boards under the sashes, and
on the boards put the berries. In this
position they dry rapidly. In localities
where raspberries abound, drying them
may be made quite profitable, as they
bring at wholesale from twenty-five to
thirty-five cents pound, and at retail from
five to ten cents more. When dry, they
may be put in paper bags, tied tightly, and
kept in room, clean, cool and dry.

about twelve servants, one of them. the
