INK PAUL II. HAYSF.

A rnarled and massive oak log, shapeless, oil.
Hewed down of late from yonder hillside gray,
Grotcsquey curved, across our hearth-sone lay;
about it. serpent wise. the red flames rolled
In writing convulsions: fold on fold
They crept and chung, with slow, portentous sway
OF deadly coils or in malignant play.
Keen tongues outfashed, 'twixt vaporous gloom AMI
gold.
10, as gazed. from out that flaming eyre
There doomed wild. weird image. all as'rain
With stranged limbs, hot brow, and eyebaiis are
Big with the anguish Of the bursting brain;
Lsocoon's form, Iaocoon's fateful pain
A frcscoed dream on pickering walls OF fire'

A RARE SIGHr.-A preacher is cred
tied with having gotten off something
novel in a Church Greek pulpit, lately.
which came very near, however, involv-
ing him in trouble. To draw full
house he had it rumored far and wide
that upon certain Sunday evening he
would show his congregation something
which they had never seen before and
would never see again. Curiosity ac-
cordingly led many out who had not
looked upon the interior Of church
for many days. After the large audi
ence were seated the minister arose and
drawing a peanut from his pocket held
it up SO that all could see it. "That,"
began he, lyon never saw before, and
then, breaking the shell. he tossed the
kernel into his mouth, blandly remark
ing, land you'll never see it again."
The congregation was Justly indignant,
and it was limited that if he did not
shortly leave town he would be treated
to pelting with stale hen fruit.--Com-
bridge (Md.) Chronicle.

the longest quarter Of an hour ever
remember. At last the conviction flash
ed on me that the time was gone. l ran
out of the room on to the platform to
see the clock. Oh, horror! the time
was past by several minutes.
IAN astoniahed porter stopped, and
asked me what was up?
"'The time isl answered sharply.
"Then more politely told enough OF
my story to enlist his sympathy, which
took an eminently practical form.
"'Take cab at once, he said.
"And giving me lift on his back, l
was in another minute rafting down
Queens road like mad.
"'Dolt, not to have thought OF this
before. What will Susan say? She will
never forgive me for being such an I'M
mitigated noodle.
"When my Jehu had Numbered with
the knocker notwithstanding to
his notions of proprietys which were
peculiar-the door of my dear relation s
house was thrown open by my late tray
cling companion, who, bowling in the
blandest manner, said
"'Oh! here are your boots, Mr.. Sis
kin. Will pou put them on in the cab?'
"'You crafty scoundrel!' l roared, as
soon as could gather sufficient breath.
L will kick you to Jericho with them, II
I can only get them on
"'Here, cabby, fetch policeman or
two, said the nephew-for of course it
was he. Or, stay, your machine will
lust do to run him in; he's as mad as q
halter
"Cabby grinned, so did every one OF
the small crowd that had gathered
round.
Il put the boots on, and paid the fare;
then, quietly stepping to the door as
old Lionel SANDS came along the pass
age, I was about to explain the trick
that had been played on me.
'To my intense disgust, the old don
key pointed to gigantic clock face IN
the hall, and addressed me as follows
"'Mr. Siskin, You know my rule
punctuallty. Strict punctuality, and no
excuses. The business is settled. My
nephew will not regret it, if you do.
Another time, if you cannot get your
boots to come in, come without. Good
day
'He slammed the door in my face.
II shall never forget the utter exas-
peration that seized me. l kicked at the
door like an impotent mailman. am
afraid I swore, or very nearly; then
turned away to hide my tears--for keep
them back l could not for my life.
Well, cannot stay to tell you all be-
sides, am OBTAINING you, perhaps?
"When old Sands died, he left every
thing to that gentlemanly thief of a
nephew, by will dated the day he so
fiercely sent me packing. He soon sold
off the clocks and furniture, and long
before this has BEEN half over the
world
Zone thing must say--we received
f2OO bv post six months after the death
of old Lionel and, as we could never
trace the sender, put it down as 'consci-
ence money from the nephew.
"Well, good day" said Mr.. Siskin;
sand at about 10 look for me-"
So I did, but he never came; and to
this hour, if disappoint dear Julia,
she is apt to ask me if I have been
stopping to talk to Mr.. Siskin about his
boots.

Farmers and Poultry.

1t is no exaggeration to say that not
one farmer in ten in the United States
takes the interest in poultry keeping its
Importance demands. Some are too
careless to make it successful, others too
Indifferent to undertake it, and others
still think it too insignificant an indus
try to occupy the attention of full
grown man.
On very large farms where there are
many things to look after, the poultry,
the majority of cases, and is generally
voted nuisance, as it is under such cir
cumstances.
Many farmer who does not hesitate
to invest in fancy cattle, Or horses, or
swine. loses all patience if fancy poul-
try is suggested to him. 70 this, how
ever, there are many honorable excep-
tons. The time is coming, and not far
distant, when the exception will be the
rule. A general waking up to the i'm
portance of improved poultry is spread
ing among farmers. In few years the
farmer who does not keep improved
breeds of poultry and furnish them good
care and accommodations will be con-
sidered an old fogy.
Perhaps not one man in ten thousand
has any idea of the magnitude of the
poultry interest when taken in the ag-
gregate. 1t will doubtless startle some
people to be told that in all the Eastern
and Middle States the aggregate value
of poultry is greater than the aggregate
value of any other kind of stock in
those States, or any one of them taken
separately, but it is nevertheless true.
If any one is disposed to doubt it, let
him go to the statistics of the last census
and satisfy himself.
Another fact that will startle some
people is the enormous aggregate con-
sumption of poultry and eggs in the
large cities. From figures furnished by
the Produce Exchange of New York
city, it appears the annual consumption
of eggs in that city Aimee. at wholesale
prices, amounts to the astonishing sum
of SO, 100000
Bucks county, Pennsylvania, alone
furnishes $780, 900 worth of poultry to
the New York market every year, be-
sides sending more than twice that
amount to Philadelphia, Trenton and
other markets, while large amounts are
consumed at home by those who raise
them. Bucks county, however, is ac-
knowledged to be the banner county in
producing market poultry, although
Burlington county, n. j., is not far be-
hind. 1t may be truly said that if farm
ers throughout the country were to
equal those of few counties adjacent to
the large markets, the business would
be overdone. No such apprehension
need deter any one from improving the
quality and increasing the quantity
Of his poultry products for many years
to come. The large city markets are
not the only ones where fine poultry
and eggs are sold. These are cash arti-
cles the country over, and will be as
long as any of us will be living to pro-
duce them.
Farmers in the vicinity of large cities
are alive to the importance and profits
of poultry raising, and the time must
come when those more remote. will give
the subject greater Northumberland

INSECT DEsTRoyER.--A fruit-grower
in Valparaiso, South America, writes to
his local paper that he has discovered a
singular property in tomato leaves. 1t
appears that having cut down some to-
mato vines, he used them as "mulch"
around his peach trees. He soon dis
covered that the curculio, which has
been destroying his fruit, had aban-
doned the trees surrounded by tomato
vines. Following up his accidental dis
covery, he found the free use of tomato
vines proved perfect protection not
only against the curculio, but against
other noxious insects. He found also
that by stepping in water some fresh
leaves of the tomato, and sprinkling the
infusion upon other plants, such as roses
and orange trees, the innumerable IN
sects which covered them were driven
away. We commend this to our horti-
cultural friends.-CaiIornia Agricml-
urist.

Matching CHIcKENs.-The best sea-
son in which to raise broods of fine,
healthy fowls is in the fall Of the year in
California. The cool, moist weather
when the rainy season commences seems
to be much more conducive to health of
Young fowls than the warmer and dryer
season. Thousands OF seeds are sprout-
ed with the rains, the soil is softened,
and there is better picking and scratch
ing for them, something tender and
green to pick up, and little annoyance
from chicken lice at this season when
nights are frosty.
February is also good month to sit
eggs and hatch out chickens. AS soon
as hot weather commences, the Matching
of chicks should cease for the season.

He HAD TO GO IT ALoNE.-"I want
to be shown through the Treasury
department" said six-foot visitor,
with buster and a carpet-bag attached,
stepping up to a well-known official in
the department, the other day. IL am
afraid, sir, that yon will have to trust to
your own ingenuity your wanderings,
as there is no one to accompany you,
politely replied the official. well,
what in thunder are these young men
doing here?" The courteous official
couldn't or wouldn't tell the truth, that
the young men were hard at work watch
ing the young ladies taking their daily
noon exercise, but simply said: "They
are not paid to act as guides" ooh,
we'll, I'll pay 'em, if that's ALL" But
when convinced that it would hurt their
feelings if such proposal were made,
he concluded he would have to go it
alone.
