For he loved the sweet young thing;
II BRING he murmured, "a poets song.

Then the editor gathered his cross-cut saw,

The big sledge hammer the long crow bar,

He sawed him in two, and he fattened him OUT
He tore out each quivering lung:
He pinned him up to the sanctum wall,
So scattered, and yet so young.
THE PHYSICIAN.
The following is the translation of an epigram
written by Cordus in the sixteenth century:
The physician like an angel seems
When he in the sick-room brightly beams,
And like unto god is he.
When he's removed the malady.
But in a different light We view
The doctor when his bill is due:
Our altered eyes we at him level,
As though he were the very devil

A Mothers Triumph.

A singular case that has occupied the Court of Common Pleas for some days was brought to a close, says the New York Herald. Mr. William R. Hynes, of St. Louis, 8 gentleman possessed of considerable property, formed the ac- quaintance of lady in London in 1871, and, while no marriage ceremony was performed, lived with and acknowledged her as his wife. After the birth of two children, about a year ago Mr. Hynes was thrown from his carriage and received fatal injuries. When he recovered con- sciousness the first words he uttered were @ request that his "wife and children " might be brought to him. After his death his sisters administered to his es- tate in this country on the representation that he had died unmarried and intestate. Mrs. Hynes came to New York, where the property is situated, with her chil- dren, and the suit which has just ter minated was brought to test the question whether her alliance with the deceased was marriage recognized as valid by the law. The case was fought With much bitterness by the relatives of the de- ceased, by whom the services of a pri- vate detective agency had been called into acquisition to ferret out the life his tory of the plaintiff in the suit. The de- tectives discovered nothing to her dis credit The verdict, was given without hesitation for the plaintiff, the jury eyi- dently being convinced that in all save form she was the faithful wife of the de- ceased, and was recognized, trusted and beloved as such by him to his dying hour. As the happy mother left the court room with her children it was evident that the sympathy of the Bench, the Bar and the spectators was with her, and that the finding of the jury was regarded by all as just anl righteous verdict.

Entering a Convent.

Mother Theresa, the oldest Carmelite nun in America, died at the convent in Baltimore. Her name in the world was Mary H. Sewall 7; she was the daughter of Revolutionary officer who is said to have been member of Washington's staff. Mother Theresa, when a child, was pet of General Washington, and often sat in his lap. When nineteen years old she took the veil and the VOWS of the order at the only Carmelite con- vent in this country at that time, which was in Charles County, Md. The cause that led to her taking VOWS, as told by herself, was singular. She was engaged to be married, and the time for the we'd attend the funeral of an intimate friend, young lady of remarkable beauty, whose death had been a severe affiiction to her. The cemetery was at a distance tained the body of her friend was borne, as was then the custom, upon the should CTS of pall-bearers. By an accident upon the way the coffin slipped from the grasp of the bearers and the body of the dead girl, clad in it's white robes, was thrown out upon the roadside. Miss Sewall, who was near witness of the accident, was so terrified that she i'm mediately resolved upon a life of religious seclusion. Her engagement of marriage was broken, and she at once entered the convent.

The Barley Crop.

There are 100000 bushels of barley year. As the successful cultivation of barley is only possible with good farm ing the reason of this large importa- tion must lie with our poor farming. It is both a spring aud winter grain, but in this country it is generally sown in the spring. In selecting seed choose that which is of a pale, lively yellow, intermixed with bright, whitish cast, and free from blackness at the tail; if the rind be little shrivelled it indicates thin skin, which is desirable It is necessary to change the seed from time to time for that grown in different soil, as this grain becomes coarser every year. The principal varieties are the two and six rowed; in Europe the latter is pre- ferred for it's productiveness and hardi- ness. In this country the two-rowed is generally cultivated on account of it's superior fullness and freedom from smut Of tho et1+,-vuriotior the Hudson's Bay is very productive and ripens early the Chevalier and Providence are both luxu- riant growers. The soil for barley should be rich loam, between light sand and heavy clay, and we'll drained. Sow in the spring as soon as the ground is dry. on 8 grass or clover lay turned over the preceding fall it may also follow a we'll manured and cleanly herd crop. If sown on sod blow in lightly, and afterward harrow or roll. See that the soil be well pulverized, and SOW from one and half to two and a half bushels per acre. Barley should never follow or precede the other white grains. A lengthy de- parture from this rule will cause serious detriment to soil and crops On indifer, ent soils light dressing of compost may be applied, or in moderate quantity after the plants have commenced growing in the spring. If the ground is dry and not compact rolling will be of service when the plants are four or five inches high. It gives support to the roots destroys insects, multiplies seed stalks and increases their vigor. When too luxuriant barley may be fed off, but no too closely. Cookie, wild mustard ano other weeds should be pulled before the, are in blossom. Barley is inferior in nu triment to wheat and rye, but superio to oats. There is no better feed fo horses when ground it is excellent foo, for COWS, producing rich milk. Whel barley is mixed with boiled potatoes an
 fed to pigs it produces more pork, an
 of a better flavor, than any other food It is also excellent for poultry,

8 second churning in milk, for the pur- pose of securing 8 richer flavor. The strips allow the milk to penet1ate every part of the butter, giving it a uniform texture and flavor. The motion during the second churning is different from the first. An upright paddle supplants the lateral wheel. There is no whirlpool, but the butter is mauled and dashed from the top to the bottom of the churn. The workman catches the Jumps as they are raised from below, and splits them on the blades of the wheel, so as to com pletely impregnate them with the flavor of the milk.
 The oleomargarine comes out of the second churning as pliable as any dairy butter. It is placed in a Philadelphia butter worker, turned by hand, and soft ened and kneaded until the salt is dis tributed and the buttermilk pressed out. After it is we'll worked, the butter is ready for packing.

Get Ready to do Your Own Grating.

Hardly person owning even a small plot of ground but tries to have few fruit trees, and few who have them in bearing, after years of hopeful patience. are so we'll satisfied with all the varieties that they would not gladly change some of them if they thought they were able to do so. Grating is the easy way ont ot thelr at1ilctlon, and almost any one with little faith in himself can success fully accomplish it after few minutes practical instruction. The cause of most failures ill getting grafts to grow is not ln the setting, but ill the time of cutting and the subsequent care of the scions. The selection of these should never be later than February, to insure certainty of growth. My way of preserving them is to cut them on day when the ground IS thawed, at least on the surface, and after tying them in punches with the butts even, and labelling them as I would fruit trees, stick the cut ends into the soft earth on the north side of some building or wall, where they will be al- ways in the shade. fprepared thus and properly set, ninety-fve per cent. of ap- ples should grow. Pears are rather more uncertain-stone fruit much more so. T find the greatest difficulty in getting cherry gratis to succeed on small stocks, owing te the tendency of the wood to spring apart on stocks of from one and half inches to three inches there is little difficulty. These small stems of cherry, peach and plum are better bud ded. Budding is more simple and ex- peditious method yet than grating, but requires later season. Grafting-wax. or salve for covering the wounds, is made mostly of rosir, beeswax and tallow, Ill the proportion of three, two and one parts in the order named. Linseed-oil, sub- stituted for the tallow, in rather small CT proportion, IS an improvement, as the object IS to get pl1able substance, with as little grease as possible. I have set many hundred gratis for myself and neighbors, and my only failures, in about 1 the proportion above named was when the scions had been badly preserved. Some which have been asked to set were just about in the proper condition for kindling-wood. March, April or May will, either or all of them, do for the op- eration but as warm days are needed to properly spread the wax, and warm days are rather rare in March, leave it later. These rambling hints are not offered fol the benefit of those skilled in grating (either farmers or nnrserymen, who dc not need them, and are rather chary il communicating, but to encourage novi ces not to be afraid to try their hand, as there is little mystery in the art, more depending on cutting the scions in due season, and properly preserving them.

He Wasn't Satisfied.

The Detroit Free Press tells this story: Martin Koff was the first prisoner out. He was the first the day before and the first the day before that. He had been allowed to go twice on suspended sen tence, and To his squeaky voice was heard again.
 "Let's see-haven't met you some where, MT. Koff?" queried his Honor, as the little old man protested his 1nno- cence.
 "Y-e-s, think so,'' was the answer "And what is your excuse this time ?" "Well, Judge, I got drunk the first time to cure the toothache. The second time it was to cure the headache, and last night it was to help my lame back. !" "Seems to me you ought to be satis- fled, MT. Koff."
 "But I ain't, Judge. I want to go at it now, and get drunk on general princi- ples. I want to see how it seems to have one good old drunk without any excuse at all."
 "Mr Koff," began the Court, after due reflection, "I find that cannot en- certain your proposition. You have doubtless read the beautiful poem be- ginning:
 'Twas a cough
 That carried him off;
 Twas coffin
 They carried him off in We must write a new one, reading about as follows
 ''Twas MT. Rolf,
 They carried him off
 Twas the Black Marian
 That carried him higher.'" "Well, I'll get drunk when I come out, any way"
 "So you may, Mir. Rolf, but when you come out the grass will be ankle high, the robins will be looking cross-eyed at the blue birds, and every two-shilling jack knife will be worth thirty cents"

Our Life-Saving Service.

Senator Sargent has reported bill from the United States Naval Committee to reorganize the Life-Saving and Coast Guard Service. This service, from all accounts, very much needs recognizing. On the New Jersey coast the service IS said to be in adeplorable condition. The lifeboats in use are after the model of Noah's Ark, unwieldy and unsafe. To launch one of them requires two yoke of oxen, and before they can be secured the vessel in distress may go to pieces and all on board perish. The Captains of the various stations from Sandy Hook to Barnegat have made known to the Gov ernment time and again the unsafe and cumbersome condition of the boats, but have failed to make any impression on service. MT. Sargent's bill proposes to transfer the esuperintendence of the Coast Guard Service to the navy. It requires the President to assign navy officers for the performance of duties as follows :: One not below the rank of Commander nor above that of Captain to be Super intendent of the service under the imme- diate direction of the Secretary of the Navy one for each district to serve as Inspector thereof Othese officers to be selected from the grades below command ers), and one of the pay corps of the navy to act as disbursing officer of the service. All officers thus assigned to receive for such service the same pay and emolu- ments as on shore duty, and no other, except actual travelling expenses. Only seafaring men are to be employed in the service. The bill ought speedily to become law.
