UTR COMMON DESTINY.

AS the trials of life thicken and the
dreams of other days fade one by one i'll
the deep vista of disappointed hope, the
heart grows weary of the struggle, and
we begin to realize our insignificance.
Those who have climbed TO the pinnacle
of fame, or revel in luxury and wealth,
go to the grave at last with the poor
mendicant who begs pennies by the way
Side, and; like him, are soon forgotten.
Generation after generation, says an
eloquent modem writer. have felt as we
feel, and their fellows we1e as active in
life as ours are now. They passed away
as vapor, while nature wore the same
aspect of beauty as when her Creator
commanded her to be. And so, likewise,
shall it be when we are gone. The
heavens will be as bright over our
graves as they are now around our path; !;
the world will have the same attraction
for offspring yet unborn that she had
once for ourselves, and that she has now
for our children. Yet little while, and
all this will have happened. Days will
continue to move on, and laughter and
song will be heard in every chamber in
which we died; and the eye that mourned
for us will be dried, and will glisten with
JOY. and even our children Will cease to
think of lis, and will not remember to
lisp orr names.

SONG OF THE DEC4NTER.

There was an old decanter, and its
mouth was gaping wide; the rosy wine
had ebbed away, and left its crystal side;
and the wind went humming -humming
up and down; the wind it flew; and
through the reed-hke hollow neck, the
widest notes it blew. I placed it in the
window, where the blast was blowing
free, and fancied that its pale mouth
sang the queerest strains to me. "They
tell me, puny conquerors the plague
has slain his ten, and war his hundred
thousand of the very best of men; but
[, twas thus the bottle spoke" but
have conquered more than all your fa-
nous conquerors, so feared and famed
of yore. Then come ye youths and
maidens all, come drink from out my
cup, the beverage that dulls the brain
and burns the spirit up; that puts to
shame your conquerors, that slay the
scores below; for this has deiuged mill
ions with the lava tide of woe Though
In the path of battle darkest streams of
blood may roll; yet, while L killed the
body, [ have damned the very SOUL
The cholera, the plague, the sword, such
ruin never wrought, as I, in mirth or
malice, on the innocent have brought.
And still breathe upon them, and they
shrink before my breath. and year by
year my thousands tread the dusty way
of death"

A WESFERN INVENTION.

A gentleman who is well known in this
city las just completed an invention
which he justly claims to be one of the
most useful ever discovered. It is wa
ter-faucet, through which, if water is
run, it comes out as cold as ice-water
Boiling water placed in any receptacle
and allowed to run through, viii be
found as cool and delicious as water in
which ice has been melting for an hour.
The faucet contains a number of small
tubes inclcsed IN larger ones, and be-
tween the outside of the one and the In
side of the other, certain chemicals are
packed, which produce the desired eff

further particulars.-Sdn Francisco II

ROW TO PRETENT GR4SSnOPPER


HOW 10 PRETENT GR4SSHOPPER
RIIDS.
Prof. G. V. Riley, in his new book on
the Rocky Mountain locust, gives
number of practical hints as to the best
method of preventing incursions of the
insects into States other than those now
annually invaded. The various sugges-
tons we have condensed into the follow
ing brief form:
1. Encourage game birds and native
locust-feeding species.
z. Prof. Thomas suggests that induce
mehts be offered to the Indians to col
lect and destroy the eggs and young
along the west side of the plains.
3. Some system is wanted for prevent
ing the extensive prairie fires in the fall
that are common in the country where
the insect naturally breeds. and then
subsequently firing the country after the
young hatch, and before the new grass
gets too rank
4. Locusts are particularly fond of
tansy, oocklebar, amarantus, and timothy
these might be sprink1ed with Pari
gr,en water or powder. A strip of Poi
soned timothy around wheat field
might saveit.
5. Irrigation is the best preventive;
inundate the land and drown the young
locusts out after Matching, or use kero-
sene in the bitches.
6. Hogs and poultry delight to feed on
the young hoppers and will grow fat on
them. +-
z. When, in the spring, the young To-
Gusts hatch out in threatening numbers,
delay the planting of everything that
cannot be protected by ditching until
the very last moment. The idea is to let
the locusts devour all they can find and
then to let them starve before any crops
grow for them to feed on.
s. Grain should be sown in Glands"
or strips fifty to 100 feet wide, to permit
of ditching between them, and those who
have fall wheat up and doing well, where
the eggs are thickly laid, should make
bitches at intervals through the field, to
facilitate the saving of the grain in the
spring.
9. AS the disastrous swarms which
reach the southeastern country come
from the extreme northwest, it is pro-
posed that the number of United States
signal stations be increased in that re-
gion. The movements of swarms might
thus be daily recorded, and the farmers
of the east and southeast be apprised of
their probable coming for weeks in ad-:
vance.
10. Prof. Riley thinks that the army
might be utilized to destroy locusts in
stead of Indians A few regiments, he
says, EARNED with no more deadly
weapon than the common spade, sent out
to sections of country that are suffering
from locust ravages, might in few
weeks measurably rout the pigmean
army, and materially assist the farmer
in his ditching operations.

FENCES as BUSINESS SIGNS.

The people who substitute fences for
newspapers as mediums for advertising
their bGsitiess do not prosper III the
State of New York, where the law makes
it a punishable misdemeanor tn wan
tonly "deface any monument, fence or
structure, or to paint upon, or IN any
other manner place upon or afhx to any
rock, stone, bridge or tree, any adver-
tisement of any sale, profession, busl-
ness or other thing" and provides
penalty therefor to the amount Of $3.50,
or six months imprisonment; and, be-
sides this penalty, it is provided by sec
ton 2, that any person possessing the
premises upon which the offense is COM
mitted may sue and recover therefor not
less than s., and in addition thereto five
times the amount of his actual damages.
By section 3, if the party does not sue
within six months, the overseers of the
poor may sue and recover for the benefit
of the poor. By section 4, the person
whose profession or business Is adver-
tised is presumed to have caused or
procured the same until the contrary is
proved.

be imported into the West with bene-
fetal effects Chicago Journal

A DISCUSSION is in progress in the
medical journals respecting indigestible

they not only fail as remedies, but may
do positive harm.

IN OLD UHBRELLI.

An old umbrella in the hall,
Battered and baggy, quaint and queer
By all the rains of many year
Bent stained, and faded-that is ALL
Warped, broken, twisted by the blast
OF twenty winters, till at last,
Like some poor close-reefed schooner cast
All water-logged, with half mast,
Upon the rocks, it finds a nook
OF shelter on an entry hook;
Old battered craft, how came you here?
All, could it speak, twould speak of one
Old Simon Dowles, who now is gone
Gone where the weary are at rest
OF one who locked within his breast
His private sorrows DER his lot,
And in his humble work forgot
That he was but toiiing bark
Upon the billows in the dark,
While the brave, newer ships swept by,
Sailing beneath prosperous sky,
And winged with opportunities
Fate had denied to hands like his
4 plain, ld-fashioned wight was he
AS these sport-loving days could see.
He in his youth had loved and lost
His loyal true-love. Ever since
His lonely life was ficcked and crossed
BY sorrows nameless shadow-tints;
Yet never murmur from his lips
Told of his darkened sottl's eclipse.
1 often think I still can hear
His voice 50 blithe, his tones of cheer,
AS, dropping in to say "good-day,"
He gossiped in his old mans way.
And yet we laughed when he had gone.
We youn gsters couldn't understand
No matter if it rained or shone,
He held the umbrella in his hand.
Or. if he set ii in the ball,
Where other sheddcrs of the rain
Stood dripping up against the wall,
His was too shabby and too plain
To tempt exchange; ali passed 1t by,
Though showers of rain were pouring down,
And all the cutters in the town
Were torrents in the darkening sky.
He never left it once behind,
Save the last time he crossed our door.
oblivious shadows DER his mind
Presaged his failing strength. Before
The morning he had passed away
In peaceful sleep from night to day.
Aud here the old brown umbrella still
In its old corner stays to fill
The place, as best it may, of him
Who, on this wild and wintry night, -
Is surely with the saints of light;
For whom my eyes grow moist and dim
