From our Regular Correspondent
sQuite . little snow storm last night. But
the snow has all melted.
Last Sunday evening the Congregational
list church received an addition of ak new
members. Several more will unite with
them next communion day.
The Methodists have organized a class
with ten members.
The Baptists ani Presbyterians each ex-
meet to receive considerable additions to
their numbers.
The town is chock full Of strangers, and
they continue 10 come thicker and faster.
Five years ago, We knew every man who
came to Dell Rapids for nail or trade.
Three years ago We had frequent occasions
to inquire the names of persons whom We
saw in town. Now we are able to say that
We know a portion of the people who come
to Dell Rapiis. We are extending u &C
quaintance as rapidly as possible, but We
cannot keep up with the influx Of strangers.
Dell Rapids is fast assuming metropolitan
airs. We ever have . course of lectures
announced, for next week, by Prof. G. NJ.

for the town people to 60 to the assistance

cludes considerable hay, q mower and some

the burning Of Mr.. Pringree's stable a few

HOTSPUR ON 4 FOP.

My liege, did deny no prisoners;
But remember when the fight was done,
When was dry with rage and extreme toll
And nothing stronger than rain water
Within forty miles, came there certain lord
Trinity dressed, nobby, in fact, with cuta
way coat,
Flashy neck tie, and pants louder than the
Band wagon of circus, including the band
He was fresh as bridegroom
To speak truly, he was trifie too fresh.
His chin, which advised him to wipe off,
Was newly reaped, and showed like
Stubble land at harvest time.
He was scented like ice-cream
At church -tair-with vanilla, musk,
Rose water, cologne, hair oil, etcetera,
And can not pretend what else.
TwiXt his finger and his thumb he held
A pouncet box (see Webster's Unabridged)
Which, ever and anon, he gave his nose,
And still he smiled and talked, and, as
The soldiers bore dead bodies by,
He called them untaught knaves, s,unmannerly
To bring slovenly unhandsOme corpse
Between the wind and his nobility.
With many holiday and snobDish terms,
Such as &C AW, weallyn "Did you evah!"
He addressed me among the rest
Demanded my prisoners in her Majesty's
Behalf then, all smarting with
My wounds, being CALLED to be so pestered
With ven-by-n nine popiniay,
Out of my grief and my impatience,
lifted him one abaft the wheel house,
And you might have heard his little
Coat-tai crack as he passed
over into the next county.
This bald, unjointed chat of his my lord,
Disturbed my Dutch, and beseech you
Let not his mysterious disappearance
Come between my love and your high majesty.

The Sagacity OF Ants.

Prof. Leidy, in recent article, states
that, in order to ascertain whether a
house he had just entered was Gas he
suspected) seriously infested with red
ants, he placed piece of sweet cake in
every room. At noon every piece was
found covered with ans. A cup of tur,
pentine oil being provided, each piece
was picked up with forceps, and the
ants tapped into the oil. The. cake was
replaced, and in the evening was again
found covered with ants. The same
process was gone through the following
two days, morning, noon and night
The third day the number of ants had
greatly diminished, and on the fourth
there were none. He at first supposed
the ants had all been destroyed, but in
the attic he observed few feasting on
some dead house-hies, which led him to
suspect that the remaining ants had be-
come suspicious of the sweet cake. He
accordingly distributed through the
house pieces of bacon, which were after
wards found swarming with ants. This
was repeated with the same result for
several days, when, in like manner with
the cake, the ants ceased to visit the
bacon. Pieces of cheese were next tried
with the same result, but with an uH-
doubted thinning in the number of ants.
When the cheese proved no longer at
tractive, dead grasshoppers were sup
piled from the garden. These again
proved too much for the ants, but after
few days. trial neither grasshoppers
nor any thing else attracted them; nor
has the house been infested with them
since.

COMPANIONS ON THE ROAD.

Lies milestones, marking year on year,
Pass ever swifter as we near
The final goal, the silent end
To which our fateu footsteps tend.
A year once seemed a century,
Now like day it hurries by,
And doubts and fears our hearts oppress,
And all the way is weariness.
All me! how glad and gay we were,
Youth's sap in all our veins astir,
When long ago with spirits high,
A happy careless company,
We started forth, when every thing
Wore the green glory of the spring,
And all the fair wide world was ours,
To gather as we would its flowers
Then life almost eternal seemed,
And death dream so vaguely dreamed,
That in the distance scarce 1t threw
4 cloud shade on the mountains blue,
That rose before us soft and talr,
Clothed in ideal hues of air,
To which we meant in after time,
Strong in our manhood's strength, TO clint
How all has changed Years have gone by,
And of that joyous company
With whom our youth first lourneyed on,
Who-who are left? Alas, not one!
Love earliest lOitered on the way,
Then turned his face and slipped away;
And after him with footsteps light
The fickae Graces took their flight,
And all the careless joys that lent
Their revelry and merriment
Grew silenter, and, ere we knew,
Had smiled their last and sad "adieu."
Hope faltering then with doubtful mind
Began to turn and look behind,
And we, half questioning, were fain
To follow with her back again,
But fate still urged us on our way
AID 0f lpt II :
Then to our side with plaintive eye,
In place of Hope came Memory,
And murmured of the past and told
Dear stories of the days of old,
Until its very dross seemed gold,
And Friendship took the place OF Love,
And strOVe in vain to us to prove
That Love was light and ins1ncere-
Not worth mans regrettul tear.
All! all in vain-grant twas a cheat,
Yet no voice ever was so sweet
No presence like to Loves who threw
Enchantment over all we knew;
And still we listen with sigh,
And back, with fond tears IN the eye,
We gaze to catch glimpse again
OF that dear place-but all IN vain.
Preach not, stern Philosophy!
Nought we can have, and nought we see,
Will ever be so pure, so glad,
So beautiful as what we had.
Our steps are sad-Our steps are SLOW
Nothing is like the long ago,
Gone is the keen, intense delight
The perfume faint and exquisite
The glory and the etfluence
That haloed the enraptured sense,
When Faith and Love were at our side,
And common Life was deitied.
Our shadows that we used to throw
Pol nd ne ne
For once we walked towards the sun,
But now, Life's full meridian done,
They change, and in their chill we move,
Further away from Faith and Love.
A chill is in the air-nO more
Our thoughts with joyous impulse soar,
But creep along the level way,
Waiting the closing of the day.
The future holds no wOndrOus prize
This side Deaths awful mysteries;
Beyond, what waits for us who knows?
New Life, or infinite repose?

A good tint to fowl raisers is afforded in the
fact that all wild birds feed their young upon
animal GnsccU food, even if berries buds, seeds,
etc, form the natural diet of the parents or
adults of the same species. Thus young chick
ems will not thrive so well without it AS they
will if supplied with animal food in some
shape. Earth worms are capital for very young
chicks Cooked meat, chopped up fine with
boiled rice and potatoes, is II very nOurishiug
and acceptable dish for them when young.
But not too much Of this-nor must it be Civ
en- too often Otherwise they sCour, from the
excess of the meat feed. \ little two or three
times day will help them, until they get to
be six weeks old. BY that time they will be
strong enough to run in the fields and grass,
where they will gather Il more natural supply
of this kind of food, and generally plenty Of it.

To destroy bugs on squash or cucumber
vines, dissolve tablespoonful Of saltpeter in
a palltul of water; put one pint of this around
each hill, shaping the earth so that it will not
spread much, and the thing is done. Use more
saltpeter if you can afford it; it is good for
vegetables, but death to animal life. The bugs
burrow in the earth at night and tail to rise in
the morning. 1t Is also good to kill the grub
in peach trees-only use twice as much, say a
quart To each tree. There was not yellow or
bistercd leaf on twelve or fifteen trees to which
it was applied last season. No danger of kill
ing any vegetables with it; a concentrated So
luton applied to beans makes them grow won
