NOTES ON JACKSON COUNTY.
By d. MACKLEY.

The first want that must be supplied
to sustain animal life, is food; among
mankind, even the most savage, some
kind or bread is considered the staff of
life. Persons at the present day, espec-
tally in cities and villages, know nothing
about the difficulty our fathers had to
encounter in getting bread Now the
bakers will deliver fresh bread every
day In the country, where the farmers
wives and daughters make their own
bread, they have fine -four, good stove,
and every other necessary article to make
good bread
There was not much wheat raised in
Jackson county in the early days. New
ground was not good for wheat The
grain was not full and heavy, most of the
growth going into the straw. Wheat
was generally sowed in corn ground.
But little corn was cut. Wheat was
first sown, and then three burrows run
between the rows Of corn with shovel
plow. When the ground was frozen in
the winter the corn stalks were cut with
hoe, close to the ground. When har-
vest time came, the wheat was reaped
with sickle. This was peculiar kind
of an instrument, curved, and pointed at
one end, and a handle at the other end
The inside had an edge like rasp or
file. 1t was thrust into the grain, and
gathered it into bunch in the bend oi
the sickle, and the grain was then grasp.

Ia WANDERING HEIR.
There was mourning in the house of
Bighorne Ten days had passed since
the departure of the son and heir. and
not a word had been heard of him. He
had with him very little baggage. A
note was left for his father. This was
merely to inform him that the writer
had engaged to go down to Norfolk with
Captain Conistoun for a weeks hunting,
the latter having promised to find the
horses.
Mr. Bighorne accepted the explana-
tion, and troubled himself no further.
Emily was the only one who felt uneasy,
and she kept her anxiety to herself She

March.

God sends the spring-time, after all;
And underneath the melting snow,
Piled up along the winding hedge,
The tender, purple violets grow,
And up the maple runs the sap,
Upon the limbs start crimson shoots,
And crocus buds hide In the lap
OF earth, beside the crum bling roots:
While all OF nature seems TO say,
Make ready for the bloom of May.
What though the air is damp and cold,
And skies above are sombre gray?
Soon backward will their folds be rolled,
And all their shadows fade away;
And singing birds and blossoms fair,
And brooks in rippltng music flow;
While in the scented morning air
The myriad buds of spring-time blow,
And over hill and field and plain
The earth starts out to life again.
And though, mayhap, like winters chill,
Some lingering griefs around Us lie,
The sun for US Is shining still,
And moving toward a summer sky;
And He, who watches bud and bloom,
AS bright, dumb children OF His own,
Will never leave Us long in gloom,
To grope uDaided and alone;
But, reaching out His hand, will take
Our own, and bid our spring-time break.

She lives within quiet home,
No model of the graces,
Unknown to cultures higher walks,
OR fashions giddy places;
A thoughtful girl, NO sweet, so wise
With earnest face and loving eyes
The farmers gentle daughter.
From morn till eve the little maid
Is busy at her labor
She sweeps and dusts the old farm house
And helps poorer neighbor,
No gossip Will she listen to
"a merit rare, / owe to YOU
So lives the farmers daughter.
On baking day her tiny hands
Are busy at the making;
No bread more light and sweet Than hers,
Was ever made by baking.
She churns the butter golden, sweet,
And keeps the dairy white and neat
The farmers useful daughter.
Her garden is az Eden fair,
Abloom with pinks and roses
She knows the name OF every flower,
And makes some gorgeous poses
Grows peas, and radishes, and cress,
And corn, and squash, and herbs to press
The farmers happy daughter.
Long may she bravely smile on US

And princess of the dairy
To teach us by her pleasant way,
To love the things of every day

Miss Emily putting il to him in . cruelty

"He is so greatly indebted to you. Cap.
tain Conistoun, and knows you so inti-
mately. that perhaps it is no wonder he
should have asked you to help him like
this! You know, felt so satisfied when
/ knew he was with you, because, OF
course, one was certain there could be
nothing worse than usual, etc
The Captain afterward said he would
rather have been in the Balaklava charge
than 90 through that ordeal. lie was
now as alarmed as the family themselves,
and for the first time won Emilys APP
proval by the activity and shrewdness
vhich he put forth for the occasion.
'lr Bighorne could do nothing He
was almost paralyzed with apprehension.
Emily forthwith took charge of the
arrangements. She determined to keep
the matter perfectly quiet. but to engage
a couple of detectives. An advertise
ment, the drawing up Of which occupied
the Captain two hours, in a cunning en-
deavor to reach the proper person with
out giving any one else clew, was so
grotesque that Emily laughed at it in
spite of the gravity OF the subject:
To CORNU GRASDE.-Return to your
native Geneva, a n creme Most anxious
to see you again. Your sister Emily
1t was a supreme effort Of the Captains
military genius, and he felt sure its in
genuity would battle the strongest intel
lect among Henry Bighorne's numerous
friends, although he had given them at
least three clews. Emily, however. dis
carded it, and simply wrote:
EyRY-Return to your sister
Her heart told her that il any thing
would bring him back, that would.
The detectives, who were put upon the
scent during the next few days. began to
get up master Henrys history for a
month or two before his disappearance
This was an annoyance to Captain Con
istoun, since the threads Of that history
were continually crossing and recrossing
his recent paths. and sometimes in very
awkward conjunctions As every one,
however, who really knew any thing i'm
portant was interested in keeping it quiet,
the tenth day had come and the police
confessed that they had not even an idea
how this young gentleman got out of
London
COnistoun meanwhile had gone TO Nor
folk. 1t was the blind looking after the
blind, and quite forlorn hope, but EN-
lily had faint suspicion that Henry had
mentioned his real destination.

Grandpa's Grave.

He sleeps-he sleeps, his last, long sleep,
He will wake on earth no more;
Cold winter has wrapped a spotless sheet,
His bed by the rocky" shore;
And the mountain pine and the willow wave
And mingle their boughs over grandpa's grave.
The old man sleeps In his narrow bed
His trials Oh earth are Ger
The winter blast may shrek overhead,
And the mountain torrent roar,
Yet he sweetly sleeps though the tempest rave,
And the storm clouds gather DER grandpa 5
grave.
He sleeps where the mountain rears his head
With its gl!ttering crown OF snow,
And rock ribbed sides where the wild deer
treads,
As ne seeks the vale below;
And the fox steals from his rock-bound cave,
And his bark resounds o 'er grandpa's grave.
But spring will weave a wreath OF flowers
To deck the mountain brow;
And the birds viii sing in shady bowers,
Rocked on the bending bough;
And the brook, as IL seeks the rocky waves,
VIII murmur its song by grandpa's grave.
