A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW.

Al HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW. y
The surging sea of human life forever onward

And bears to the eternal shore its daily freight of

Though bravely sails our bark to-day, pale Death
sits at the Prov, {
And few shall know we ever lived hundred
years from now.
omighty human brotherhood why fercely war
While Gods great world has ample space for eve-
rything alive?
Broad fields. uncultured and unclaimed, are wait

Of progress that shall make them bloom hum

Why should we try so earnestly in life's short,
On golden stairs to climb so high above our
brother man?
Why blindly at an earthly shrine in slavish hon.

Our gold will rust, ourselves be dust, a hundred
years from now.
Why prize so much the worlds applause9 Why
dread so much its blame?
fleetng echo is its voice of censure or of fame;
The praise that thrills the heart, the scorn that
DIVES with shame the brow,
Will be as long-forgotten dreams hundreo years

load ofwrong!

You struggled DER life's thorny road hundred

Grand lofty souls, who live and toll that freedom,
right and truth
Alone may rule the universe, for you is endless

When amid the blest, with God you rest, the
grateful land shall bow
Above your clay in reverent love hundred years

Earth's empires rise and fall. Time! like break

They rush upon thy rocks of doom, 90 down, and

The starry wilderness of worlds that gem nights

Beneath the shadow Of thy throne hundred years

FICE SEEKERS.
went up to the White House to see how
the Executive machine is run under its new
management. The old door-keepers and ush-
ers employed by Grant are still there. They
are former soldiers for the most part, to whom
Grant was 80 much attached that he thanked
Hayes the other day for not turning them
out. The old proverb, Like master like
man." is exempli6ed in their cases; for they
are now all smiles and politeness, whereas un-
der the old regime they we're rather surly and
disobiging. In the ante-room, at the top of
the stairs, where brother-in.law Dent presided
over the card basket in Grants first term, sits
a tall, sandy.bearded Western man, with a
big inkstand and stack of blank cards be-
fore him. The carpet and walls of this room
are of sickly green, and seem to have taken
their color from the exhalng hopes of the ie-
gion of ofhce.seekers who have occupied it
while waiting to get access to the fountain
of honor and preferment."
Every morning this apartment fills up with
miscellaneous crowd, so large that it over
flows into the adjoining halls The scene is
worthy the pencil of great character. painter.
Nine.tenths of the people are evidently office.
seekers These are easily recognized by their
anxious looks, restless, nervous manner, and
the pallor of their countenances. They re-
minded me somewhat of the gamblers at Ba-
den Baden, who sit around the green tables
and silently watch the turning Of the cards,
but they embrace much wider range of So
cial position. These eager applicants for
places are of all ranks, from the ex-senator in
black broadcloth, seeking to conceal the hu-
initiation which he evidently feels under the
naughty air with which he used to stalk about
the Capitol, down to awkward countrymen
after village postohices, dowdy widows in rus
ty black, and weak faced young men longing
for department clerkships even lower,
for in the throng are fellows 80 shabby and
forlorn that they would probably be glad to
get pair of the Presidents old boots.
The tall man with the sandy beard is little
better than snare for the unwary. Few of
the cards which he so politely asks the hope
full callers to write, ever reach the eyes of his
Excellency. The truth is, this patient and con-
sderate master of the ante.chamber is break
water to keep the crowd away from his chief,
while they think he is put there to help them
to the wished for interviews. Across the hall
guarding door, stands dapper little fellow
of uumixed Ethiopian descent. In his keep

RICH FEED FOR Mich Cows.-Poor feed
will make thin and blue milk, which will yield
but little cream. If you would have rich
milk, the COW must be supplied with rich
food. Next to good feed there is nothing
more essential to cows making good returns
ut the pail than her bodily comfort. She
needs good bed to sleep on, good quarters
to live in and protection from extreme heat
as we'll as cold. There is just as much sense
in arguing that it would be better to have her
out Of doors all winter because she would
then eat more hay than if she we're comforta
bly, housed, as to claim that she must be CON-
PEELED to stand in the hot sun all summer, be-
cause, if she is given shelter, she may not keep
feeding every moment, and shade in pastures
is as essential as tight barns and dry stables.
To begin with pasture which is 80 short that
cow cannot get all the feed she needs in half
the time, isn't fit to keep a COW iu. Cows
which reach the pasture by six o'clock should
be full by ten, and the time from that until
three or four in the afternoon can be much
more pro6tably spent taking ease Under the
trees" than grubbing about under he blister
ing sun.

ENOUGH IN One BED.-Emigration to the
State of Michigan was so great during the
years 1866, that every house was filled eve
ry night with travellers wanting lodging. Ev-
cry traveller there at that time will remember
the difficulty of obtaining bed in the hotels,
even if he had two or three "strange bed-fel-
lows"
The Rev. Hosea Brown, an eccentric Meth
odst minister, stopped one night at one of
the hotels in Ann Arbor, and inquired if he
could have room and bed to himself. The
bar-keeper told him he could, unless they
should be so full as to render it necessary to
put another in with him. At an early hour
the reverend gentleman went to his room,
locked the door, and soon retired to bed and
sunk into comfortable sleep. Along toward
midnight he was reused from his slumbers by
loud knocking at the door.
Halo! you therew he exclaimed, "what
do you want now f"-particular stress on the
last word
"You must take another lodger, sir, with
you," said the voice of the landlord.
"What! another yet?'
"Why, yes-tbere is only one in here, is
there"
"One! Why here is Mr.. Brown, Method
ist minister and myself, already, and should
think that enough for one bed, even here in
Michigan"
The landlord seemed so think 80, too, and
left the trio to their repose.

A PLAIN QUESTION SQUARELY ANSWER
ED.-The Chicago Times lately asked the
Richmond Enquirer whether it was prepared
to stand by the colored people of the South
and resist all attempts to deprive them of
their rights under the last two amendments? ?
1t is to be hoped that the Times is satisfied
with the square answer which the Enquirer
gives to its square question. The Richmond
Journal informs the Chicago journal that if
there is one thing the South intends to do,
come what may, it is to protect the colored
men in the ri ght of suffrage. 1t even ex-
claims: "Woe betide those who attempt to

CRows.-A crow was killed, recently, in
the orchard of Mr.. Barbric, of Plymouth,
Maine, and upon opening his crop, more than
twenty nests of caterpillar eggs were found,
showing that this much.abused bird had diued
on about 1000 or 5000 caterpillar eggs.
The crow is not only a scavenger, but very
useful also in destroying insects and worms
that prey upon crops. The damage it some
times does to young corn is more than coun-
terbalanced by the service it renders on the
farm.-Prairie Farmer.

WHAT IS Most PRoFITABLE.-Inqui:'es
are frequently made as to which is the most
profitable branch of farming. 1t depends on
several contingencies. In some places corn
growing and pork-raisng, in others WOOL
growing, and in others dairying are steadily
profitable one year with another. Where
circumstances, such as rich corn land, health.
full dry pastures, or abundant grass, with pure
water, favor one or the other of these special
ties, it is best to fall into them and to keep to
them. But for general purposes special crops
or employments are rarely suitable, and mixed
farming is the best reliance. This implies
the culture of roots, grass and grain, chiefly
feeding stock, and only partly for sale The
aim must be to distribute the produce so that
good portion comes back as soil manure, and
the soil is kept improving constantly in fertil'
ity and freedom from weeds. Then immediate
advantage can be taken of any exceptional
condition of things, and if grain does not pay,
meat and wool may be made, and if grain
happens to be high, it may be sold, and some
cheaper feed be bought to replace it. Asharp
farmer who has some capital, and can turn
about at short notice. will never be caught in
a poor year without at least average profit
from his business.-Americar Agricultursst

Hoes NEED SULpHUR.-Whether hogs re-
quire sulphur as an essential to health, or
whether it is sought by them as condiment,
may not be discovered. But one thing is
true, they devour it with greed whenever it
is to be found. 1t is for this purpose proba
bly, that they can eat large quantities of soft
coal, which contains large amount of sui
phur. Perhaps this is the most economical
method of supplying hogs with sulphur du-
ring the winter, when they require good
deal of carbon. But in summer it is best to
feed it to them in substances which contain
less carbon, on account of their producing
less heat. Mustard is one of the best things
for this purpose, and some of it should be
sown in every pasture into which hogs are
turned. If hogs are kept in, or in small
yards, it is we'll to supply them with wild
mustard that grows in the fields or highway,
or to cultivate some of the better varieties
for them They will eat its flowers, seeds,
and stalks.
