No one thing is more needed on the farm
than good substantial covers for both hay
aud grain stacks. They are easily and cheap
" made of stout factory cloth Of the requi-
site size, and being tightly stretched over the
hay, when roughly stacked with the horse
fork will save it perfectly from showers and
even extended rains, As the hands follow
to retop the stacks and finish all secure, the
covers are removed to other stacks, and thus
do duty during the entire season. So with
grain. A cover in catching weather will pay
for itself sometimes in saving a single stack
from serious damage. They may be used at
anytime for protecting loads of hay when
beih- moved, and for variety of uses about
the farm. They should be put in complete
order, that when haying fairly commences
there should be no drawback to continuous
work, and the crop may be sent to the stack
OF barn in the best condition.

THAT MULE.

The mule stood on tn steamers deck,
To land he would not tread,
They pulled the halter round his neck,
And cracked him DER the head.
Yet firm and steadfast there be stood,
As though formed to rule,
a crittcr Of hcroj blood
Was that there cussed mule.
They cus5ed and swore-he would not 90
Until he felt Inclined,
And tho they showered blow on blow,
lie wouldn't change hts mind
The deck hands to the shore then cried,
This hero's bound to stay"
AMI still upon the critters hide
with lash they fired away,
His master from the shore replied,
The boats about 10 sail.
As every other means you've tried,
suppose you twist his tall
It's likely that viii make him land,
The deck man brave though pale,
Approached with outs retched hand
To twist that there mules tail.
There came a sudden kick behind.
Tho man-Oh where was he?
ASK OF the sort blowing wind,
The fishes in the sea.
For moment there was not sound,
AS that mule wlnked his eye,
As though 70 ask OF those around.
Now, how Is that for high?
Cut that there mules throat right away,
Tire captain did command,
But the noblest crlttcr killed tlat day
Was the fearless brave deck hand.

A JEALOUS MISTAKE.

Tom Horton leaned back from the break.
fasttable and looked at the exquisite face of
his young wife with unmistakable love aud
admiration shining in his brown eyes. Tom
was a confirmed bachelor, his friends thought
until year ago he had met Edith Dunbar.
Her wonderful beauty captivated him, as
well as her charming simplicity of character.
There were those who said that she was an
outrageous ilirt and only married him be-
cause he had better prospects than her other
suitors ; but Tom, during his six months of
married life, had been completely satisfied
with his choice.
Shall you be down to day, pet he asked
crossing to her side and stoNping to kiss the
lovely face upturned to meet his.

Z WARRINGTON, Feb. 27.-The veto
message will probably be sent in early
on Friday. Report says that it will be
brief and strong. There Is no such d.
Vision in the Cabinet on the subject
~ rumors from here pretend. OF the
seven members i've at least hold that
the President ought to veto the bill.
namely, Messrs. Evarts. Sherman,
Key, SohurZ and Devens. Secretary
Thompson 10 believed to be the only
member OF the Cabinet who is decide
ly against a veto, Secretary McCrary
not being urgent either way.
There Is little dosbt that the bill
will not pass over the veto. Its pas
sage in the House will be by large
vote, as most of the republican anti
silver men are anxious that IL should
become a law, and many of them have
made up their minds to vote for 1t and
against the veto. In the Senate the
vote is so close that slight change
would defeat the bill; bnt the three
who it was thought probab BILE
would change-Paddock, Wiadom and
Cameron, OF Wisconsin-havea all, 1t is
said, told their friends that theY will
vote to pass the bill over the veto.
