Five Thousand Dollars from Tramp
Labor.

Utica, N. Y. has been smart. From city
pestered with tramps which drew heavily
upon her taxpayers she has become corpor.
alton which speculates handsomely in tramp
labor. The following from the Utica Herald
explains how and gives hint to other cor
porations:
Superintendent Best, of the government
building, has purchased $3.50 cubic yards of
broken stone from the board of town audi
tors of this city for $2.25 yer yard delivered
The stone is to be used in the foundation of
bargain is the result of the system adopted
in this city one year ago last fall of compell-
ing all tramps who sought board and lodging
to pay for the same by breaking given guam
tity of stone before they got their breakfast,
and another "stint" in return for that and
other meals. The system has worked admir-
ably in two ways-first in decreasing the
number of tramps, the majority of that class
having heard of Utica's plan soon after it
was adopted, in supplying the city with mate
rial which has now paid for the expense of
caring for strangers and given work to will
ing unemployed citizens for pay, who would
not accept aid fiom the Board of Charity
without doing something in return.
There is around Utica vast quantities of
stone which can be brought to the city in
winter for comparatively small outlay
If the tramps, who should be made to work
however unwilling, and the occupants of the
Jail who now rust in idleness and learn new
tricks for want of something to do, were
kept busy breaking this stone, Utica could
keep up supply for matchmaking our streets
at small expense Cobble pavements are
relics of barbarism, and if properly laid, ma.
cadamized roads would soon do away with
this style.

The beautiful radiant to his souls clear eve,
Man would not laugh and fail to understand
But now our voiceless spirits yearn for wings
To soar beyond these sitting prison bars
Out in the silence, out beyond the stars,
Beyond the memory of earthly things,
Where, thought and fancy find an utterance
And all is life and love and liberty"
And now why do tell this simple little
story, of which no one can foresee the end ?
There have been cases-I have known
several such-in which strong, persistent,
ardent soul, though imprisoned in most
feeble body, has yet managed to live on
and do good work in the world for twenty,
thirty, years. This may be her lot; we can
not tell. But the sustaining of such a
faint spark of physical life requires more
care, more luxury, than her station is like
ly to provide her with, even if she is ever
able to earn her own bread. Can any body
help her2 Not as charity-such spirit is
above all ordinary charity"--but by
making existence little easier to her till
she is able to help herself For this cause
make public her innocent little biography
of fifteen years.
Also, since such history points its own
moral and breaches better than any homily
of mine, l offer it to the serious consider
alton of all thoughtless children, careless
children, idle children, with the one brief
counsel, I" IT'S never too late to mend"

Growing TuberOses.

The following from the Western Rural
on the cultivation of the tuberose, tells the
truth exactly:
cat the present day fashionable bou-
quet or basket of flowers is hardly thought
to be complete unless it contains one or
more of these delightfully."- fragrant flowers,
and yet comparatively few seem to meet
with success in the culture of this much
admired favorte. The culture is not so
difficult if conducted properly. In the
first place, the condition of the bulb is to
be looked after. In selecting the bulbs be
sure to get those that have green centres
or hearts, for where the heart or flower
germ is decayed, tine bulb hardly ever
blooms. The bulbs should never be plant
ed in the open ground sooner than June /,
as the ground does not get sufficiently
warm before that date. When they are
placed in the open ground too early, the
flower germ is very apt to decay, and it
is often that the whole bulb will rot if
placed in the ground before the weather is
warm. 1t does not seem to be generally
understood that the bulb must be two,
and sometimes three years of age before it
will bloom. AS a general rule they bloom
the second year. The bulb that blooms
once never blooms the second time, but
the young bulbs which are found clinging
to the old one will bloom as soon as they
have acquired the proper age and size"

Saving Manure and Labor.

Almost any one has it in his power to
keep up.the fertility of his soil, if lie does
not lay out too much work, and undertake
to do more than his time or money will
permit him to do well. 1t is because
man is poor that his farm runs down, and
there is no surer way to get poor and to
keep poor than to occupy more land than
one can work well. When one has so
much land that he cannot work it we'll.
and has not money enough to employ 9th
ers to work it for him, hundreds of things
which could be done to profit are not
done; and thus one-half often of what the
land might yield does not come from it.
Then he has but half manure enough to
raise crops for so much ground properly,
and so but half a-crop results. Thus he
loses at both ends, and gets poorer and
poorer each year.
Nothing helps farmer so much as to
have full relief from being "driven" at
this season of the year. If the bitches are
all cleaned out, the surface.water which
Injuries crops so much in the spring will
have better chance to drain away So
also will it help his roads. The water
passing off, the frost will not penetrate 30
deep, and thus there will not be SO much
cutting up in spring. But best of all, the
ditch cleanings are about the best ton dress
ings for grass lands and orchard trees that
one can possibly have.

amount of waste vegetable matter in odd

VARIETIES.

"A Brooklyn tramp left the table at which
he had been seated to partake of meal,
because his host offered him brown sugar
to sweeten his coffee. He remarked that
he had fallen far, very far, but he had not
reached that point of degradation.
An English beauty who went to be
photographed at seaside resort, after
taking her seat in the chair of torture was
thus addressed by the insinuating operator:
"Now, miss, you look at me as if was
your young man and you'd met me unex-
pected."
--"I've stopped to get bite" said a
vagabond to a lady in her garden, in an
insolent manner. 'Here, Tiger !" cried
she, and as huge mastiff came bounding
to her side, she said to the tramp, "If you
don't leave at once you will get one." He
didn't stop to expostulate.
-"Your handwriting is very bad indeed"
said gentleman to friend more addicted
to Boosting than to study; "you ought to
learn to write better" SAY, ay," replied
the young man, ut is all very we'll for you
to tell me that, but if were to write bet
ter, people would find out how I spell"
-"Why don't you speak distinctly 2"
cried passenger to brakeman, who an
nounced the names of stations in an utterly
unintelligible manner, ~ can't understand
word you say" "What's that to me 2"
responded the brakeman, "You don't ex-
pect to have fine, clear tenor at $50
month, do you9"
"A Paulding farmer, having cattle
trespassing upon his grain fields, posted
up the following: "Notis-If any mans
or woman's COWS or oxen gifts in these here
otes his or her cows tale will be cut off as
the case may be. am Christian and pay
mi taxes, .but darn man who lets his crit
tiers run luse, say l."
1t was an enthusiastic fisherman. He
had caught half dozen black bass about
the size of sardines, and proudly placed
the catch before farmer for inspection
The Granger turned the little fishes over
with the blade of lis knife, and looking up
in the face of the fisherman, remarked in
painfully measured syllables: "Wouldnt
ve-been-about-- as--well--off
-if-you-ha d--kep -your-bait--an

Gov. CarrOll's Estate.

"A correspondent of the Hagerstown

or Gov. Carroll's estate he says:
Looking over this beautiful country and
being near to the homestead of Gov Car

estate. On the map presenting an accur-
ate survey of the estate it is said that the
tract contains 1880 acres. And what

gives an idea of what the old English life
was and still is. Its grandeur consists in its
antiqueness, with the beautiful cleared, pro-
ducing ground stretching for miles into the
distance. Then the venerable trees, the old
faithful sentinels which kept watch over
this estate for generations. The beautiful
lawns--the expansive flower beds rare
tropical plants--the beautiful drives, this
all is grand, and speaks of life not Amer
lean, in the common acceptation of the term,
but that of Charles Carroll of Carrollton.

feed and water horses soon find how TO
treat them, and in this treatment how oft.
Ell they should be watered daily. Those
who only drive horses and know nothing
more about them, may neglect them
through ignorance or inattention, but must
understand that they should be watered
three times day at regular intervals with
cool water in summer, if it can be had,
and mild water in winter. Pump or spring
water meets these conditions.
If driven they should not be watered
until cooled off, and then they should be
allowed as much as they can drink, and
hot driven again Immediately after. In
the stable these things settle themselves.
The common practice is to water before
feeding. Horses watered three times
day-morning, noon and night-will be
in far better condition for work of any
kind than if watered half a dozen times
as some people driving allow their horses
to be. They will sweat less and be more
lively, and we believe will be in better
health. Once day or twice day even is
not sufficient, though horses can get along
with it as can cattle, but it is not advisable
or humane. In fields where there are full
watering troughs cattle will be found to go
to them about three times day and
horses the same.
Sponging out the mouths of horses at
stopping places we never allow; in the
first place we do not consider it of any
benefit and in the second it may convey
disease from one animal to another Ger

How JACOB TAYLOR Grows PLUMs.-
Jacob Taylor, colored citizen of East
Nottingham, owns little property in the
western part of the township, near Hope
well. He has several trees of blue or prune
plums, which bear an abund ant crop every
other year. A few years ago when he had
but one tree, it bore seven bushels, which
he sent to the Philadelphia market, and
his net receipts were 81 per bushel-$as.
Previous to that year Jacobs tree did not
bear any perfect fruit, the curculio, the
deadly enemy of the plum, always singing
the green fruit when well-grown, causing
it to fall off At the suggestion of a neigh
Dor he soaked corn cobs in molasses diluted
with water and hung them in punches on
the limbs, and tied a band of cotton satu-
rated with the same solution around tile
trunk of the tree. The theory is that the
band prevents the insect from ascending
the tree and when any do pass this block
ade they are attracted to the sweetened
cobs and deposit their eggs therein instead
of in the fruit. His trees bear every
other year and only when he practices this
curculio remedy. He supplied many of
our citizens with plums last week at forty
cents per half peck.-0rford Press.

The Farmers Wife.

The farmer came in from the field one day;
His languid step and his weary way,
His Bonded brow, his sinewy hand,
All showed his work for the good of the land;
For he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
All for the good of the land.
By the kitchen fire stood his patient wife,
Light of his home and joy of his life,
With face all aglow and busy hand,
Preparing the meal for her husbands band;
For she must boil,
And she must broil,
And she must toll,
All for the good of the home.
The bright sun shines when the farmer goes out
The birds sing sweet songs, lambs frsk about;
The brook babbles softly in the glen,
While he works so brayely for the good of men;
For he sows,
And he mows,
And he hoes,
All for the good of the land.
How briskly the wife steps about within,
The dishes to wash, the milk to skim
The fire goes out flies buzz about
For the dear ones at home her heart is kept
There are pies to make,
There is bread to bake,
And steps to take,
All for the sake of the home.
When the day is DER, and the evening is come,
The creatures are fed the milking done,
He takes his rest meath the old shade tree,
From the labor of the land his thoughts are Free
Though he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
He rests from the work of the land
But the faithful wife, from sun to sun,
Takes her burden up that's never done;
There is no rest, there is no play,
For the good of the house she must work away;
For to mend the frock,
And TO knit the SOCK
And the cradle to rock,
All for the good of the home.
When autumn is here, with its chilling blast,
The farmer gathers his crop at last;
His barns are full, his fields are bare,
For the good of the land he meier hath care,
While it blows,
And it SHOWS,
Till winter goes,
He res is from the work of the land.
But the willing wife, till life's closing day,
Is the children's guide, the husbands stay;
From day to day she has done her best,
Until death alone can give her rest;
For after the test
Comes the rest,
With the blest,
In the farmers heavenly home.
