interrupted Table Talk.
the Burlington Hawkeye,

from tne burlington haWReye'
The other evening the Rev. Mr.. Phil
acter sat down at the sea table with d
very thoughtful Air, and attended to the
wants of his brood in a very distracted
manner Presently he looked up at his
wife and said:
"The Apostle Paul"
"Got an awful lump on his heads sf-
ternoon," broke in the pastors eldest
son, "playing base ball. Bat flew out Of
the strikers hands when | was umpire.
and cracked me right above the ear,
and dropped me. Hurt? Gollyl' and
the lad shook his head in dismal but ex-
pressive pantomlme as he tenderly rub
bed lump that looked like billiard
ball with hair on it. The pastor grsvely
paused for the interruption, and resumed.
The Apostle Paul"
"Saw Mrs. OGheminie down at Green
bauns this afternoon" said his eldest
daughter, addressing her mother. "She
had on that same old everlasting black
silk, made over with vest of tilleul
green silk, coat-tsil basque pattern, over
skirt made with diagonal folds in front,
edged with deep fringe; yellow straw
hat, with black velvet facing inside the
brim, and pale blue flowers. She's going
to Chicago"
The good minister waited patiently,
ana then, IN tones just shade louder
than before, said
"The Apostle PAUL"
"Went in swimmin' last night with
Harry and Ben, pop, and stepped on a
clam she'll" exclaimed his youngest son;
"cut my foot so can't wear my shoe,
and please can't l stay home to-mor-
row."
The pastor Informed his son that he
might stay away from the river, and
then resumed his topic. He said:
"The Apostle Paul says"
"My teacher is is an awful liar,
shouted the second son; she says the
world is AS round as All orange, and turns
round all the time faster than a circus
man can ride. guess he halnt got
much sense"
The mother lifted a warning finger to-
ward the boy, and sald-"Sh" and the
father resumed:
The Apostle Paul"
Don't bite Oft twice as much as you can
chew" broke out the eldest son, reprov-
ing the assault of his little brother on q
piece of cake. The pastors face just
showed trife of annoyance as he said
in very firm, decided tones:
"The Apostle Paul says"
There's fly in the butter" shrleked
the youngest hopeful OF the family, and
general laugh followed. When silence
was restored the eldest daughter, with
an air of curiosity said:
"Well, but, pa, / really would like tic
know what the Apostle Paul said"
pass me the mustard" said the pastor
absently.
Then the committee arose, and the
Senate went into executive session and
soon after adjourned.

The Yield :of the worlds Harvest
ThIS Year,

London Standard.
On the whole it must be pronounced
To be good one. There can be little
reason to doubt that the United states
are gathering in the largest crop OF tne
best quality that has ever been produced
in those vast regions. Their own esti-
mate is that they have surplus nearly
to supply all our needs, and the AMER
cans give good earnest of their oelef oy
depressing our markets with the qusnti-
ty and low price of their produce. But
America has been frequently .ecelved
herself IN this matter; and there may be
exapgerstion in the estimate this year.
Egypt has an abundant crop, and Is rap
idly turning it into money. Austria ana
Hum airy have considerable surplus 10
spare. Russia is said to nave more
abundant crop than she has reaped for
years, but, as her ports on the South are
closed, only so much OF this can be ex-
ported us can be sent to the Baltic, or oy
railways through Germany France and
Belgium, however, have poor crops this
year, and instead of sending to US will
be competitors with US tor the American
and Hungarian surplus. There can be
little doubt that, If the Russian supplies
we're liberated, the competition of Amer
lea and Russia would reduce values. 1t
is perhaps for that reason that America,
seeing her opportunity, is selling as she
can while Russia is almost shut up. The
American factorie; which have supplied
the Turks with the rifles which have
done them such good service have played
the best possible game for the American
farmers, who could well afford to pay for
all the rifles that have been sent TO Tur-
key out of the difference IN price which
they are obtaining for their wheat above
what they would have got had the Black
sea been open. 1t is clear, we think, that
the worlds crop is sufficient for the needs
of all, and that, if our traders can but
keep themselves from the panic and
alarm which the dIsastrously bad crop OF
England may with reason occasion, al
though we shall have to pay more Tor
our loaf than the average price OF the
last cereal year, yet the present ruling
prices are nearly high enough TO attract
sufficient supplies to our shores.
1t must not be forgotten, However,
that the failure of our po-" crop
will cause large extra demand for
bread

Corn Fodder.

1t is q difficult matter TO cure cornfod-
der properly, so that 1t will store Tor
winter use. The stalks retain their wa
ter with much pertinscity, and when
the material is piled, and the circulation
OF air prevented, fermentation is apt to
set in, and mould usually appears. The
fodder becomes mouldy.
The best method In our experience, Is
to cut the corn and stack it, aud to leave
it thus in the field until dry enough to
lay in thin layers on top OF the hay IN
the barn, or it may be stacked by leaving
an opening IN the centre OF the stack and
when ofsuflicient height may be covered
BY thatching, or by rude shelter OF
boards.
If but slightly mouldy, the cows relish
it, and it does not seem to do them any
harm. 1t is not well, however, TO calcu-
late on having this mould, because if we
attempt to have some, we shall obtain too
much. The best we can do, we do get
some, and as long as we csnnot help our
selves, we are willing to be comtorted by
the thought that the little we have Is
rather beneficial thsn otherwise. One
thing is quite certain, mould is better
than fermentation. Hence, when stoi-
ing, keep the fodder IN thin layers, so
the air may have all the access that our
space for storage may admit of.
Corn fodder is valuable feed, and il
used in conReetion with heterogeneous
food, as cotton seed meal, gives results
which admit of very favorable compari'
son with those produced from good hay,
using the prices of each as basis OF com.
parison. We consider corn fodder, of
the kind sad curing that we advocate,
worth sixty per cent. as much as hay,
weight for weight. As we fed our cows
exclusively on corn fodder and Hungs'
risn grass last winter, that is for the fod'
der ration we think our opinion is JUS

"THEY SAY"

"They say"-ah well! suppose they
But can they prove the story true2
Suspicion may arise from naught: -
But malice, envy, want of thonght,l /
Why count yourself among the
..thcys"
Who whisper what they dare not
say?
"They say''-but why the tale re-
hearse,
And help to make the matter worse?
No good can possibly accrue
From, telling what may be untrue;
And is it not nobler plan
To speak of all the best you can?
"They say"-well, if ir should be
SO,
Why need you tell the tale o6weel
Will it the bitter wrong redress,
Or mako one pang of sorrow less9
Will it the erring one restore,
lenceforth to go and sin no more?
"They say"-Oh! pause and look
within;
See how thy heart 1nclines to sin, i.
w atch, lest in dark temptations
hour.
Thou, too, should sink beneath its
power,
Pity the frail, weep e'er the fall;
But speak of good, or not at all.

From the speech of the Hon. Thos.
T. Crittenden, of Missouri, in the
House of Representatives, Novem-

The House having under considera-
ton the bill (H. r. No. s05) to re-
peal the third section of the act en-
titled San act for the resumption of
specie payments Mr.. Crittenden
said:
Mr.. SPEAKER Il shall vote for

fact to the whole country, since its
enactment. / voted against the pas

dience to the will of the people. AS

misrule: ST sat by their cradle; /

then said and believed would rest as

LITTLE MISS SNOWFLAKE.

LITTLE MISS SNOWFLAKE.
Little Miss Snowflake came to town
All dressed up in her brand-new
gown,
And nobby looked as fresh and fair
AS Little Miss Snowflake, / declared
Out of flee ~ cload she stepped,
Where all the rest of her frmily kept
AS close together as bees can swarm,
In readiness for big snowstorm.
But Little Miss Snowflake couldn't
wait,
And she wanted to come in greater
state, ....
For she thought that her beauty
would ne'er be known
If she came in II crowd, so she came
alone.
All alone from the great blue sky
" here cloudy vessels went scudding
by,
With sails all set, on their way to
meet
The larger ships of the snowy fleet.
She was very tired, but couldn't
stop
On tall church spise or chimney
top;
All the way from her bright abode
Down to the dust of country road!
There she rested all out of breath,
And there she speedily met her
death,
And nobody could exactly tell
The spot wherc Little Miss Snowflake
fell.
