POETRY.
MOtley's Poem.

The late John Lothrop Motley wrote the following
poem when he was about seventeen years old lit is
dated October 10, 1885, and is published for the first
time in Harper's Magazine for August:
Cupid hath been god so many ages
That It is strange he yet continues young,
And hath inspired so many scores OF pages
That it is strange his praises yet are sung,
And strange the theme should now inspire my
tongue
But still, as in the olden time, the power
OF Love eXerts the same mysterious spell;
Still mans high purpose in one brief hour
Theglancing of bright eye may dspel,
AS softly as the frost wreaths of night
Melt in the brightness of the morning light.
And thou, when yet spring hath shared its roses
And beauty with thy cheek, and thou may'st rove
In brightness forth. where'er the world discloses
u Hearts to bind golden chains round; when you
move,
The fair Napoleon Of the world of Love
Then may thy soul as 1t is now, be pure
As the first sunbeam ere it blessed the earth!
Then may the joys around thee now
Still light thine eye still dew thy lip with mirth!
Then while all charms their wreaths about you fling
Time shall, in love with thee, abjure his wing.

Artificial Fertilizers.

Guano, which seems to be mineral de-
post and not an animal, as has long been
supposed, is the most valuable of the arti-
fetal fertilizers because it is naturally the
most complete fertilizer we can procure.
Containing phosphate of lime, potash, and
various nitrates and ammonia salts, having
large quantity of free ammonia, and all In
soluble condition, it is at once Immediately
active and lasting, and supplies the crop with
the precisely needed plant food in proper pro-
portion. 1t is peculiarly adapted for almost
all crops, indeed, it may be said, all, for there
is no crop but what is greatly benefited by it.
For the present needs of the growing crops
it is almost Indispensable. The meadows,
directly after the hay has been removed, may
be made to take on fresh, green appearance,
by an application of 60 to 100 pounds of
guano per acre, and fair crop of clover may
almost be insured by this needed element of
clover-seed. The frequent failure OF this
crop may be most generally attributed TO
lack of fertilizing material than to anything
else. Corn and fodder-corn may be greatly
helped by small handful hoed in around

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Professor Tyndall,in recent lecture before
the Royal Institution of London, upon
'Germs, or the Origin of Life" closed as
follows: "From the beginning to the end of
the inquiry there is not, as you have seen, a
shadow OF evidence in favor of the doctrine
of spontaneous generation. There is, on the
contrary, overwhelming evidence against it /;
but do not carry away with you the notion
sometimes enormously ascribed to me, that
deem spontaneous generation impossible or
that wish to limit the power of matter in
relation to life. My views on this subject
ought to be well known. But possibility is
one thing, and proof is another; and when
in our day 1 seek for experimental evidence
of the transformation of the non-living into
the living, / am led inexorably to the conclu-
sion that no such evidence exists, and that in
the lowest as in the highest of organized
creatures the method of nature is that life
shall be the issue of antecedent life."
Cheese is no new article of diet An an
tiquary has been ransacking ancient litera-
ture and finds that cheese formed part of
the ample store found by Ulysses in the cave
of cyclops. Polyhemus, Euripides and The
ocritus also mention cheese. SudolphCs
says excellent cheese and butter were made
by the ancient Ethiopians. and Strabo,
to show the dense ignorance of the ancient
Britonsl mentions that though they had
abundance of milk they did not know how
to make cheese. Cheese of kline formed part
of the supplies of David's army at Mania
naim. during Absalom's rebellion.
The commissioners who at the request Of
Nebraska have been investigating the grass
hoppers consider that the danger from young
Matched out this season past and that the
long series of destructive visitatlons from
these pests is at a close. In the opinion Of
the commissioners it is not at all likely that
the present generation will witness another
such series as that which has just past.
A correspondent of the Bos ton Globe says
lime or ashes heaped around the trunk of a
tree will effectually prevent the ascent of the
canker worm. The plan has been satisfacto-
rily tested and is being generally adopted in
gardens about Boston. 1t would be well for
orchardtsts to bear this in mind, asst may be
the means of saving many valuable trees
next season.
