PRESERVING FENCE RAILS.

The proper seasoning of timber before
being used in any sort of structure is far
more important than the season of the
year when tits felled, kind of timberused
or preventatives employed. There are
plants, washes and heterogeneous sleeps,
recommended for preserving posts; but
each is comparatively costly, and only
partially successful. One great objection
to the applications of solutions externally
rests on the fact that the sap being con-
fined, accelerates decomposition in the
interior. Most foresters must have OBJ
served this. What l would recommend
with fencing posts is-the materials,
when felled, to be directly sawn in posts
and stored under sheds thoroughly ven~
tilated, where they will remain at least
year exposed to "sun and wind" The
neck or parts of wind and water of each
post should be slowly charred over a
strong 6re-slowly, because our princi-
pie means the heating of timber thors
oughly to the heart, so as to extrcate
any moisture which may be still lodged
at the center, and hardening crust on
the surface of the posts.
Afterward, to prevent the posts from
absorbing water, they should be we'll
coated with coal tar, having its acid de-
stroyed with fresh quicklime. The tar
should be thoroughly boiled, to evapo-
rate all watery matter, and applied boil,
ing hot, A large tank holding the posts
set on end, and filled with the scalded
tar from a boiler answers the purpose
very well. Of course the upper half of
the posts can be painted when placed in

THE SCHOLAR AND THE WORLD.

In medieval Rome know not where,
There stood an Image with It's arm in air
And ON Its lifted finger, shining clear,
golden ring with the device, strike here -
Greatly the people wondered though none guessed
The meaning that these words but half expressed,
Until learned clerk who at noneday
With downcast eyes was passing on his way
Paused, and observed thespot, and marked itwell
Whereon the shadow of the finger fell;
And, coming back at midnight, delved, aud found
A secret stairway leading under ground.
Down this he passed into spacious hall,
LII by flaming jewel on the wall;
And opposite brazen statue stood
With bow and shaft In threatening attitude.
Upon It's forehead, like a coronet
We're these mysterious words Of menace set:
THAT which am ! am my fatal aim
None can escape, not even yon luminous flamep'
Midway the hall was q fair table placed,
With cloth OF gold, and golden cups enehased
With rubies and the plates and knives were gold
And gold the bread and viands manifold,
Around H. silent, motlonless and sad
We're seated gallant knights in armor clad
And ladies beautiful with plume and zone,
Butthey were stone, their hearts within were stone
Aud the vast hall was filed In every part
With silent crowds, stony in face and heart.
Long at the scene, bewildered and amazed,
The trembling clerk in speeches. wonder gazed
Then from the table, by his greed made bold,
He seized goblet and a knife of gold,
And suddenly from their seats the guests upsprang
The vaulted ceiling with loud clamors rang,
The archer sped his arrow, at their CALL
shattering the lambent jewel on the wall,
And all was dark around and overhead;
Stark on the floor the luckless clerk lay dead
The writer of this legend then records
It's ghostly application in these words:
The image is the Adversary old,
Whose beckoning finger points to realms of gold
Our lusts and passions are the downward stair
That leads the soul from a diviner air.
The archer Death the flaming jewel, Life;
Terrestrial goods, the goblet and the knife;
The knights and ladies, all whose flesh and bon
By avarlCe have been hardened into stone
The clerk the scholar whom the love Of pelf
Tempts from his books and from his nobler self
The scholar and the world The endless strife,
The disCord in the harmonies of life
The love of learning, the sequestered hooks,
And all the sweet serenity of books;
The mNrket-plaCe, the eager love of gain
Whose aim is vanity, and whose end is pain

The Governors specific charges are;
First-It has been a depredatory war.

tortured. VIM. Mcmahon, for instance,
had his legs cut off and was forced to
walk on the stumps. Murdoch was
chained, a harrow placed on him, and he
was burned while in his own house with

have been made prisoners and subjected
to treatment too horrible to mention.
Third-Millions of dollars worth of
