A YEAR.
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.

Sne mas been Just year in heaven,
DDninarKeo by white moon or gold sun,
by stroke of clock or clang of he'll.
Or shadow frightening on the way.
IN the IuiI noon and perfect day.
In SaIety's very citadel.
The happy hours have sped have run:
ana, rapt In peace, all pain forgot,
She whom we love, her white soul shriyeR
smiles AT the thought and wonders not
We have just been year alone:
year whose calender is signs,
ana duli, perpetual wistfulness
ana smiles, each covert for tear
And wandering thoughts, half there half here
And weariful attempts to guess
The secret of the hiding skies.
The soft, memorable blue,
WIN cleaning hints OF glory sown,
AND heaven behind, just shining through.
SO sweet, so sad, so swift so slow
80 fuil OF eager growth and light,
50 tull OF pain which blindly grows;
So full OF thoughts which either way
Have PASSED and crossed and touched each day
To us thorn, TO her rose:
The year so black, the year so white
Like rivers twain their course have run,
The earthly stream we trace and know
But who shall paint the heavenly one?
year We gather up our powers,
our lamps we consecrate and trim,
Open all windows to the day
And welcome every heavenly air
We Will press forward and will bear
Having this word to cheer the way,
She, storm tossed once is safe with him.
Healed, eomforted, content, forgiven,
And while We count these heavy hours
Has been year, year in Heaven.

Abandoned at Sea.

At all times ships of one kind or
another are floating about at sea, abandoned
by officers and crew, in what seems a hope
less condition. Some are dismantled and
mere hulks, some are swimming keel up
wards, some are water-logged, but being lad
en- with timber will not sink, but are driven
hither and thither as the wind and waves
may direct. So people afflicted with catarrh,
bronchitis and consumption, are abandoned
by physicians and friends as incurable, vet
thousands OF such are annually restored TO
perfect health by the use of DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy and Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. The Catarrh Remedy
is unequaled as a soothing and healing local
application, while the Discovery purifes and
enriches the blood and imparts tone and
vigor to the whole system

How the Ancient Greeks Voted.

49,
Like most students of Greek, have
frequently been asked about the Greek
ballots, but hitherto / have never been
able to give satisfactory explanation of
them. A few days ago, however, was
fortunate enough to have four of them
in my hand-genuine ballots, cores
ponding exactly with the description
given of them by the Scholiast to
Eschines, and having engraved on them
IN large clear letters the Greek words
signifying public ballots. As no descrip-
ton of these has, so far as | know, ever
appeared in English, and as the account
of them in Hermann's Lehrbuch der
griecfai schen Antiquitdten is incorrect, I
shall tell you what they are like. They
look like all the world like bronze
whirligigs. They consist of disk about
two inches in diameter with an axle in
the middle, projecting about three
quarters of an inch ON each side. Those
which represent the negative vote have
an axle perforated, so that pretty thick
knitting-needle might be passed through
it; those which represent the positive
vote have the axle solid. The ballot box
evidently had an opening, shaped like a
cross, and each voter had two votes given
him, one bored and one unbored. These
he no doubt covered with the folds of
his robe, and when he came to drop them
into the boxes he took hold of them by
placing his thumb on one end of the axle
and his middle finger on the other, so
that no one could tell when he dropped
a positive and when negative vote. |
have used the word boxes in the plural
Intentionally, because each voter dropped
both his votes, one into a box which
represented what he voted for, and the
other into box representing what he
voted against, and the one was controlled
by means of the other.

NIGHT.

Night came down DER ALI the earth,
And took the tired pay,
And cIasped her tightly IN her arms,
And bore her far away.
The moon ike some vast lighthouse seemed
Far up in the Milky Way;
The plistening stars like tiny banks,
At anchor round her lay.
And like single silver thread
That twines in some dark curl
The river wound through trees and brakes,
A cleaning hand of pearl.
| heard the soft low dip of oars
Like weary slow heart-throb:
And the wavelets Tapped the bow of the boat
a low half-broken sob.
!. I'd on that night, so long ago.
\ vision wondrous sweet
Came to me in its fullest ioy.
So perfect and complete.
o golden dream why did | wake
To find ii past and gone?
Inc dream was ike glorious day;
The waking, cold gray dawn.
Iwere better far that had died
Believing il were true,
Iwere better far to sleep for ave
Beneath the sky so blue,
Then live when each long weary day
Seems longer than before;
WI hen lie Is but constant pain
wound unhealed and sore.
The river still flows murmuring on;
The stars are just as bright
As when the vision came TO me
That restful summer night.
The same? Yes. l alone am changed.
On God each weary day
l wish that / had died the night
The vision passed away

FARM AND HOME,
Good Beds for Stock.

A good bed for the horse, cow and
other stock kept housed during the win
ter, goes much farther towards saving
feed, and keeping stock thriving and
comfortable, than large class of farmers
and others are willing to allow. Four
tons of fodder will more than equal five
tons, where damp, scantv bedding, and
hard, cold, uncomfortable standing
places only, are provided. There are
very few farmers who cannot provide
with little difficulty or expense, plenty
of litter to give their stock good, COM
of necessary shelter and stabling. There
is usually refuse fodder, straw, and such
other matter which may be thus utilized
and made into manure by this process !;
forest leaves and muck are at his COM
mand very frequently, where the dispo-
sition is not wanting, but the whole in
wolves some labor. What is there which
is connected with the farm that does not
involve labor? The coarse refuse fod-
der needs to be cut, or in some way
made fine, before going into the manure
heap.
This cutting up may be made a light
matter where the will is not wanting.
For cornstalks, block and part of an
old scythe with a wood handle affixed
to one end, will make short work where
any more economical implement is want
ing. Muck should be dug and we'll dried,
and then be housed conveniently for
use. Straw and other long litter should
be made shorter in some way, before
passing into the manure heap, for ease in
handling Fine sand makes a good bed
ding material, where it is to be had con-
veniently, and makes a good dressing for
any heavy soil. Sawdust makes about as
comfortable bed as anything, but all
may not be able to procure it a needed.
Sawdust very frequently is allowed to go
to waste at the mills, or is used as
fuel, but the farmer could afford to
pay its fuel value, where within a rea-
sonable distance of his place, for bed
ding. 1t makes neat clean bed
ding material where well dried,
and applied judiciously 1t should
be confined within the standing or lying
space of the stock, by suitable cleats or
partitions, and be spread two to four
inches deep, and when wet, must be re-
moved to be mixed with the droppings

for tired teams, cooling and soothing to

greater extent than any other common

amount for g single animal, so that the
storage room need only be proportioned
to the number of animals, or to the availa-
bic supply. | have known farmers haul

Fertilizing with Charcoal.

The owner of large vineyard on kel-
ley,s Island writes me that neighbor OF
his had large grape vine growing not
far from an old cistern which had a fl
tering apartment filed with charcoal
and root of the vine, having found its
way into that charcoal, filling the entire
mass with its ramihcations the effect on
the growth and productiveness of the vine
was astonishing. He intends therefore TO
try some experiments with powdered
charcoal as fertilizer 1t is probable,
however, that in the case of the ciste-n
the charcoal was saturated with fertiliz-
ing ingredients filtered from rain water,
and hence comparatively little benefit
may result from the application of char
coal unless mixed with richer ingredi-
ents. Saturating it with water, in which
hen manure is dissolved, would no doubt
be very effective.-Lorrespcadence OF

Duty OF Factory Managers.

The National Lire Stock Journal makes
the following sensible suggestions: The
factory manager has an excellent oppor-
tunity to assist dairymen in the improve
meRt of their herds and the increased
yield of milk. Farmers have been so
long accustomed to go on from year to
year without keeping any account of
their transactions, that they need to be
put on the right road and stimulated to
proper oversight of their business The
factory owners are directly interested in
having good quality and large quantity
of milk. If dairymen are successful in
the production of milk, the factory own
ers are more successful in its manufac-
ture. 1t is not only, then, the duty, but
to the interest of factory owners TO as
sist their patrons in the selection of the
best herds of cows; and there is no way
they can better do this than by keeping
an accurate account of the number of
cows MIXED by each patron; and, hav-
ing the pounds Of milk delivered they
can easily make at the end OF the season
statement of the yield of every herd
whose milk has been delivered. Every
manager would find full attendance at
meeting of patrons called to examine
the comparative yield of all the different
herds This would excite discussion and
rivalry in the production of milk
would set them all to studying the ques-
tions of breeding, feeding and selection
of cows. 1t would really require little
labor to the factory manager. He could
place the number of cows MIXED by
each patron on the margin of book,
opposite his name; and by asking each
one to inform him when a COW is added
or disposed of, the record would be COM
plete at the end of the season. These
statistics would be eagerly published by
agricultural papers for the benefit of
their readers
