ALL FOR ME.

The world grows green on thouaand hills.
by thousand willows the bees are humrning
And a million birCs by million rills
Sing OF the golden season coming.
But gazing out on the sun-kist lea.
And hearing thrush and bluebird singing,
/ feel that the summer is al for me,
And all for me are the joys il is bringing.
An for me the humble bee
Drones his song in the perfect weather.
And just on purpose to sing to me
Thrush and blueblrd came north together.
just for me- in red and white
Bloom and blossom the fields Of clover,
And all for me and my delight
The wild wind follows ana plays the lover.
The mighty sun with a scOrching kiss,
have read, and heard, and do not doubt il,
Has burned up a thousand worlds like this
And never stopped 10 think about it.
And yet | believe he hurrics up
Just on purpose TO kiss my flowers.
To drink the dew from the lily-cup
And help them to grow thro golden hours
know am only a speck of dust,
An individual mite, Of masses,
Clinging upon the outer crust
OF little bah Of cooling gases,
And yet, and yet, say what you WILL
And laugh, if you please At my lack of reason.
For me wholly and for me still
Blooms AMI blossoms the summer season.
Nobody else has ever heard
The story the wind to me discloses,
And none but | and the hummng bird
Can read the hearts of the crimson roses.
All, my Summer. my love, my own!
The world grows glad in the smiling weather,
But all for me, and me alone,
You and your court come north together

Monster Guns

The four 1OO-ton guns recently pur-
chased by the British government from
Slr William Armstrong are to be used
III the land defences until, at least, pro-
vision is made for them in the Royal
Navy, and they will probably be mount
ed III the Notifications at important
stations either at home or in the Medi-
terranean. The Italians have five Of
these l00-tOn guns, including the eXper-
mental one, and they paid Sir William
Armstrong more than $S0,O00 each for
them. The price at which the British
hand was somewhat below fhat ,9ynftW, in
1ne SO-tOu guns maze III tIIe nuy diT79tS.
Factories in the Royal Arsenal at
WO0lWich cost between $4,000 and
$4,000 each; and Il I00-ton, if manufac-
tured at the Royal Arsenal on the Wool
wich principle, has been estimated 1T
S60,0 600, to which may be added the out
lay Oh new machinery. In the trials
which have been made the 50 ton gun
has proved rather the better of the two
respectiyeiy-that is, it has given a
greater energy per ton lnan us heaNler
rivals; but as the 1O0-t0n gun throws
1000 pound projectile with powder
charge OF 40 pounds, and the SO-ton
gun is limited 10 shot of ], 200 pounds
with 425 pounds of gunpOwder, the ac
tual striking power of the two guns is
proportionately in favor Of the larger
weapon. The S0ton gun is ~ feet long,
feet III diameter at the breech, Is
inches in the bore, and chambered f0r
the powder charge to a calihre OF IS
feet inches through the breech end,
III inch bore, and chambered inches
larger. They are similar in oOnstruc-
ton, and are both p0lygrooyed i'll the

two months time Mrs. Horton found
herself possessed of her home and suffi-

organs, produces only slight noise.

through your valuable paper to inform
your numerous readers of my method of
preventing the curculio from singing the
plums. tried a number of remedies, but
they all failed; at last | concluded to try
what virtue there was in gas tar, and |
am pleased to inform you that my expert
ment was a grand success. l mix the gas
tar with water aud a small portion of
ashes, and apply it with syringe pump,
such as is used in washing windows. Use
it as soon as the fruit begins to form. The
insects commence their ravages very early
and continue during the summer After
| am done sprinkling the trees the fruit is
perfectly glazed with the solution, but by
the time the fruit is ripe there is not the
least smell or taste of gas tar. Plums
have been quite failure among our fruit
growers, owing to this troublesome insect,
and | hope this remedy viii prove as effec-
tual when tried by your many readers as
it has been upon the fruit TO which ap-
piled it.
