Poetry.
what Makes u Man.

Not numerous years, nor heightened life
NO pretty children and wife.
Not pins and chains and fancy rings
Nor any such like trumpery things:
Nor pipe. cigar, nor bottled wine.
NOT liberty with Kings to dine,
Nor coat, nor boots, nor yet a hat.
Nor dandy vest, nor trim crayat.
Nor all the worlds wealth lain in etoro
Nor Mister, Reverend. Sir, nor Squire.
w i'h titles that the memory tire:
NOT ancestry traced back to Will
Who went from Normandy to kill:
Nor Latin, Greek, nor Hebrew lore.
Nor thousand volumes rambled O 'er:
Not Judges robe, nor Mayors mace.
NOR crowns that deck the royal race
These. all united, never can
Avail to make a single man.
\ truthful soul, loving mird,
Full OF affection for its kind;
A helper of the human race.
A sou! of beauty and of grace;
A spirit firm, erect and free,
mat never baseiy bends the knee;
ihat Will not bear a feathers weight
Of s!avery's chains, for small or great ::
That truly speaks of God within,
And never makes a league with sin;
That snaps the fctters despo make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That wolships God. and him alone;
That trembles at 40 tyrant's nod
A soul that fears no one but God,
And thus can smile at curse and ban:
That is the soul that makes the man.

The PODe.

In his great palace Plus TX. occupies
only a PLATA bed-chamber, with bare
stone floor, and working cabinet with
little furniture except a table and two
chairs. He rises, summer and winter, at
$50. He says mass, and hears second
mass of thanksgiving; or if sickness pre-
vent him from celebrating the Holy
Sacrifice, he does not fail to receive COM
munion. His hours of work are long and
regular. His fare is plain, even to meagre-
ness. Every day he takes exercise in the
Vatican gardens, and one OF his favorite
resorts is be autiful alley of oraGge-
trees, where the pigeons come to feed
from bis hand. On. day he was discov-
cred, with three Cardinals, playing "hde
and seek" in the gardens with little boy.
Yet with all his gentleness he has keen
and caustic wit. The author of plous
biography sent his book to the Pope for
approval. The Pontiff read till he came
to these words: 'Our saint triumphed
over all temptations, but there was one
snare which he could not escape-he mar
ried;" and then he threw the book from
him. "What!" said he, ''shall it be writ

and one snare?" Of a Catholic diplomat.

to the Pope's authority that the Holy
Father demaGded his recall. Before his
departure he had the effrontery to present
himself st the Vatican and ask for a num-
ber of small favors, ending with re
quest for the Pope's autograph. The
Pontiff wrote on card the words which
our Lord addressed to Judas in the gar
den, Am ce, ad quid venisti?" C'Friend,
wherefore hast thou come hither?') and

A Coincidence

At New Britain, Connecticut, q few
days ago young lady of Hartford, in
getting out of carriage in an alley way
at the Humphrey House, caught her dress
and fell to the ground, cutting her hip
badly, and considerably bruising the
whole of the lower part of her face. She
was picked up lnsensible and carried into
the hotel, where her wound Was cared for
by a surgeon. A curious coincidence
connected with the affair is that number
of years ago, when she was small
child, the same young lady fell out of an
upper window of the hotel, landing IN the
same alley way, and was picked up by the
same gentleman who did her the same SER

Touching Incident.

A touching incident has just occurred
IN connection with the death of Lieuten-
ant William Van W. Reilly, who fell
with Custer in that terrible fight on the
Little Big Horn last year. At the time OF
the battle he wore a seal ring, with his
cr'st cut upon ir, and this, together with
his clothing, his sword, his pistols, and
all his belongings, was torn from his
dead body aud carried away by some ont
of the foe who helped to kill him. His
mother. unable to secure his remains, and
longing for something that had been with
him to the last, tried in every way TO
recover it. She offered immense rewards.
She had fsc>simlles of the die made, and
sent to the different agencies along the
frontier, and she wrote to all the COM
manding officers in the Sioux country
describing it; and few days since she
received official notice from the War De-
partment that tie ring had been found
1t was taken from the finger of one of the
fifteen hundred Cheyennes who came in
the other day for their annual supply of
forgiveness and ammunition.

The BIG frees,

The "Father of the Forest" ir thu
Calaveras grove, Is undoubtedly the larg
est tree the world has ever produced. OF
ever will produce. 1t is also the oldest
unless we except the African mimcsa
which, by its concentric rings, is proven
to be G00O years old. Mr. Btadle, autho,
of the Undeveloped West, measured this
tree, and in his book he says it is 81 feet
in diameter, 200 feet to the first branch
md 42O feet IN height. This tree evident
lily died of Old age, and fell perhaps hun.
Idreds of years ago; for when A. T.
Dowd, the hunter, discovered it in 1852,
it bore marks of having been dead fol
more than century.
A few hundred years have made some
change III it, but even now enough re-
mains to calculate its age to be 5000 years.
When Rome was founded this tree was a
vigorous sapling, larger than the big oak
on Boston Common, aud when Solomon
sent to Lebanon for cedars, and Hiram
RATED his curious woods from Tyre, this
tree would have made pillar of the tenn

deluge; saw the crucifixion, saw the first
Pope; saw Luther, and was here to re.

cred the Pacific Ocean the Methuselah OF
the forest had sonc to rest. A sapling
when Adam Was stripping, and only halt
grown when MethuseIah died of old
age
What causes this gigantic vegetable
growth? Climate anu soil may do some
thing, for even the pines and balsams and
cedars around the big trees are six and
eight feet in diameter, but I believe they
have come down from the age when al!
vegetation was gigantic and when great
animals inhabited the earth. They grew
in that luxurious period Of the earth's
history which the geologists tell of-when
the earth was cooling, and when amid
vapor and warm air all vegetation grew to
mammoth proportions. believe that on
the high, snow-clpped Sierras, 5000 feet
above the sea, the last of a giant race is
left, and that when they tall there will be
no more big trees. l believe the little
ones now growing will be like shrubs
compared to the great ones going before.

Saving Manure.

Probably but few farmers exist
who have not read articles in the pa.
pers advising them to keep their sta.
ble manure under cover in cellar
underIthe stalls, or under a shed; but
III both places dung is liable to be-
come too dry, and the straw among
it will not dccompose as rapidly as it
will when exposed to rains; or if it
be all horse dung, it will "tire-fang,"
and will be greatly injured. A eel
lar under the stable stalls, into WEIGH
all the manure and urine of the stock
is received, is good thing, but it
would be great deal better if the
manure could be thoroughly wet once
a month from a pump adjoining or
near the cellar. The same can be
said of manure under shed when
piled inr deep; it must be kept moist
or it had better be kept in tie open
barnyard. Indeed, we are of the
opinion that when barnyard is made
concave, with no drain to it, manure
can be kept in it from fall to spring
without any loss. Some farmers
think that much of the virtues of
manure in open yards pass down in.
to tho soil and are lost; but such is
not the case, as it will be found on
removing it in thespring that the soil
Under it has become colored but two
or three inches deep. Now we claim
that if an abundance Of litter be used
upon the surface of the manure to
retain moisture and to prevent evap,
oratiop, all that a farmer makes can
beno as we'll preserved in his open
barnyard as under cover; and we
would prefer to have our manure
spread over the yard occasionally
and covered with etraw, than to have
it,thrown into heaps by the stable
door and through windows back Of
the stall, and 50 remain all winter.

THE SUN.

The different editions Of TIE SUN during
the next year will be the same as during the
year that has passed. The daily edition will
on week days be sheet Of four pages, and on
sundays sheet OF eight pages, or sc broad
columns; while the weekly edition will be o.
sheet of eight pages of the same dimensions
and character that are already familiar to our
friends.
The Sun will continue to be the strenuous
advocate Of reform and rctrenchnent. and of
the substitution Of statesmanship. wisdom.
and integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility,
and fraud in the administration of public af-
fairs. 1t will contend for the government of
the people by the people and for the people,
rs opposed to government by frauds in the
ballot box and in the counting Of Votes, en-
forced by military violence. It will endeavor
to supply its readers--a body now not far
from q million of souls-with the most care
tul, complete, and trustworty accounts of cur
rent events, and will employ for this purpose
a numerous and carefully selected staff Of re-
porters and correspondents. It's reports from
Washington, especially, will be full, accurate,
and fearless; and 1t will doubtless continue to
deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who
! thrive by plundering the Treasury or by
usurping what the law does not give them,
while 1t will endeavor to merit the confd ence
OF the public by defending the rights of the
people against the encroachments Of u0justi-
fed power.
The price of the daily Sun will be SIS cents
month or Sc so year, post paid, or with
the Sunday edition ST 70 a year
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages,

The Weekly Sun, eight pages of Sc broad

The benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for The Weekly can be enjoyed

sity of making up clubs. At the same time,
! if any Of our friends choose to aid in extend
ing our circulation, we shall be grateful to
them, and every such person who sends us ten
or more subscribers from one place will be
entitled to one copy of the paper for himself
without charge. AT one dollar year, post
age paid, the expenses of paper and printing
are barely repaid; and, considering the size
of the sheet and the quality of its contents,
we are confident the people will consider The
Weekly Sun. the cheapest newspaper publish
ed in the world, and we trust also one of the
very best. Address,
