The old Hindu vedic ode TO creation, a
translated from the Sanscrit by Max Null
Ter, is copied and commented on as below,
by W. J. Potter in a Boston paper.
"Sor Ausht nor Saught existed; yOn bright SKY.
Was not, nor heavens brOnd Wod outstretchel above.
What coTarel alIt what sheltered what concealed
Was Il w4ieFs athomless abyss?
There vas no deIh-yet vas there nanght immortal;
There was ~ eanans betSixtday and night;
The only Ole brelthed brehhInss BY ITSELF
Other than Il there nothing since has been.
Darkness there vas, and all At hnt was yelled
10 gloom profound -an OCEAN without light;
The germ that still lay covered In the husk
Bust forth, one nature, from the fervent heat,
Then hrEt came love aPon IT, the new spring.
OF mind-yea, pets Ia their hearts dtseerned,
Pouderlng. this bond between created things
Aud uuereated: Cones this spark from earth,
Piercing nd-all-perVAdlug, or from heaven?

He from whom all this great creation came,
Whether His will created, OF vas mute,
The Most High Seer that Is 10 highest hearen,

This hymn is believed to be among the
Oldest portions Of the Oldest Veda. Per-
haps 1t was written 1000 years before the
Christian era. Though this metrical yer.
sion in thought and phrase be 50 sublime,
it corresponds very closely with what are
given as literal TRANSACTIONS : % closely.
than metrical renderings into another Ian
guage usually do. The most wonderful
thing about il is the mental grasp Of the
poem. It Is full OF seed-thoughts and cou-
tains the kernels Of nearly all the philoso-
pixies that have since existed. There Is a
foreshadowing OF Hegel in the first line.
Another line suggests Spinoza. Pantheism,
gnosticism, mysticism pervade the ode
throughout. One line Of it is thoroughly
theistc. Yet there are portions Of it in
which modern positivists and materialists
would recognize a kindred spirit to them
selves. 1t touches the very heart Of the
problem which is agitating both the scien-
tifc and the religious world, to-day the
relation OF matter TO intelligence, OF ma
ture to will, Of atoms to forces and life.

How Farmers Lose Money.

By not taking one or more good
papers
Keeping NO account of farm OPP
erations, paying no attention to the
maxim that "a stitch in time saves
nine," in regard TO sowing grain
and planting seed at the proper
time.
Leaving reapers, ploughs, cultiva-
tors, etc, unsheltered from the ram
and the heat of the sun. More
money is lost in this ay annually
than most persons would be willing
to believe.
Permitting broken implements to
be scattered over the farm until
they are irreparable. BY repair ing
broken implements at the proper
time, many dollars may be saved
a proof of the assertion that time is
money.
Attending auction sale and pur
chasing all kinds of trumpery, be-
cause in the words of the vendor,
the articles are very cheap.
Allowing fences to remain unre-
paired until strange cattle are found
grazing in the meadow, grain fields,
or browsing on the fruit trees.
Disbelieving the principle of no
tation Of crops, before making a
single experiment.

LADIES COLUMN.
HARoLINE HAROLD, EDITOR.
Weak Women.

"Most OF the Christians are weak
women" They are, are they? Well,
most OF the criminals are strong
men. Most that attend the prayer
meeting are women" Exactly; and
most that hang around bar-rooms
are men. "Girls get their heads
filed with hymns and tracts and
such nonsense" Do they? Well,
boys get their heads filled with
whisky and obscenity, and black
guardism, and wander as roughs
and hoodlums around the streets
and slums of the city, or squander
their money in gambling and sin.
If pietY proves woman's weakness,
does drunkenness prove mans
strength? If women are ruled by
priests, are they any worse eff than
men who are ruled by pipes and to
bacco? Is it any worse for wo
men to talk piety in prayer meeting
than it is for men to spout vulgarity
and infidelity in rum shops? Is 1t
any worse for a Sorrowful woman
10 be praying in her closet, than for
a drunken infidel to be swearing in
the lookup? If piety is a mark of
mental weakness, it might be well
for some of the drunken lords of
creation, who talk infdelity while
their wives take in washing, if they
were a little weaker themselves, in
stead of being so wise and worth
less as they are Watchword

Takers.

Happy in their own eyes are the
people who can talk when they
have Dothing to talk about, smile
when there is nothing to smile at,
grow enthusiastic over nothing
They are valuable members of so
clety. In fact, society could not
very well do without them. Fresh
ideas, interesting topics and anus
ing thoughts are not always at com
mand by the most intelligent peo-
Pile; but one of those happy per
sons, on being presented to a strang
er, can begin to chat at once, as
though the words, "Allow me to
make you acquainted" had been
the key to some musical box hidden
within him
Tinkle, tinkle! tinkle! the tune
goes on merrily, brightly, without
hitch or any pause whatever.
How does he think of it all? 1t is
nothing very new or startling but
the air and tone make it seem so,
and you cannot help feeling that it
is an accomplishment, after all, to
be able to talk about nothing de-
lightfully at a moments notice.

The Wife.

1t needs no guilt to break a hus-
bands heart. The absence of con
tent, the mutterings of spleen, the
untidy dress and cherries home,
the forbidding scowl and deserted
health-these and other nameless
neglects, without a crime among
them, have narrowed to the quick
the hearts core of many man, and
planted there, beyond the reach of
cure, the germ OF dark despair. 0,
many a woman, before that sight
arrives, dwell on the recollections of
her youth, and cherishing the dear
idea of that tuneful time, awake
and keep alive the promise she so
kindly gave. And though she may
be the injured, not the injuring one
the forgotten and not the forget
ting wife-a happy allusion to the
hour of peaceful lOve--a kindly wei
come to a comfortable hOme-a
smile of love to Danish words-a
kiss of peace to pardon all the past,
and the hardest heart that ever
locked itself within the breast of
selfish man will soften to her
charms, and bid her live, as she
had hoped, her years of matchless
bliss, loved, loving and content.

How I Would Paint Bar-Room.

II we had the adjoining of bar
room it should be done somewhat
in this wise:
On one side | would paint Dealt
on the pale Horse, his arm welding
the thunderbolt, the fiery hoofs OF
his flying steed treading down
everything fair and lovely; the Gar
den Of Eden before him, blackened
waste behind him.
On the other side | would draw
the picture of a wTetched howell,
once a happy home; the roof bro
ken in, the windows stuffed with
rags; IN the doorway a weeping
wife, ragged children clinging to
her skirts, piteously beseeching her
for bread. In the distance should
he seen the once happy husband
and father, now n reeling drunkard,
on his way from the village tavern
to the hut he calls his home.
Back on the bar in full view of
the bloated creatures that stand
with cup to their lips, 1 would paint
company of fiendish hilarity
around a fire kindled with the
flames of alcohol, and over it L
would write in lurid letters:
Moderate drinking lights the
flame that burns to the lowest help"
Opposite the bar should be a
lonely and dishonored grave; a
lightning blasted tree should stretch
It's leafess branches over it, and on
some withered bough should perch
the melancholy owl hooting to the
wintry moon.
At the foot of the grave should
kneel the angel of mercy, with
hands and eyes appraised to the pity
ing heavens; and at the head Of the
grave should be the angel of justice,
carving, with stern, relentless hand,
upon the tombstone these fearful
words of doom:
"No drunkard shall inherit the
kingdom of Godw
In the intervening spaces | would
have here a grinning skeleton, and
there a broken heart, shattered
hourglass, stranded boat, a torch
extinguished in blackness of dark
ness; while from over the doorway
aid from the ceiling should look
down all kinds of woful human
faces-imploring, wrathful. dread
fully, desparing.
The walls of the room should be
shrouded in sackcloth, and the floor
covered with ashes, and the bar
wreathcd in weeping willow and
gloomy cypress; while all the yes
sells that held the damning fluid
should be black-black as the gates
of doom.
Then l would call the rumseller,
if he would, to take his place be-
hind the bar, and, though few be-
sotted Wretches, hardened IN crime,
might staggeF up to the bar and
drink defiance to their fate, yet l
should hope that ttc yoqng-the
pride of mothers and the light
of homes--might turn away as
though they had caught a glimpse
of the internal word.

Farm and Home.
AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Farm Notes.

A loaGng farmer is a thriftless
farmer.
Farming don't pay, says the man
who spends his time at the grog
shop.
Farmers should mediate on what
they read, and read that they may
have food for meditation.
1t is said ''there are farmers
houses without book or newspa
per"-a base SANDER, let us believe.
Grass makes fat stock, stock
makes fat land, and thus the good
grass farmer is apt To be good
farmer in other respects.
Peanut oil is being shipped from
North Carolina Italy. Cotton
seed oil goes to the same country,
where it is rapidly taking the place
of olive oil.
Everything which: is "gilt edged"
in the way of farm produce brings
the highest priccs-butter, cheese,
milk, fruit and SO on through the
whole list of farm products.
A leading cotton raiser of Hale
county, Alabama, has introduced
upon his plantation 1000 English
sparrows in the hope that they will
prove efectual destroyers of the
cotton worm.
For some reasons sorghum is not
in favor with the farmers of Cali
fornia. 1t is not cultivated in most
of the valleys, and there is little of
it in any of the counties of that
State.
Owing to the famine in China, a
large demand for breadstuffs from
the Pacific slope has been develop
ed, and all the steamers from San
Francisco for China go out fully
loaded with flour.
japan is the only country in the
world in which gentlemen are not
farmers. The farms there are very
small and are worked entirely by
hand. On most of them no animals
are kept
Those who work, says Gov. Sey-
mour, will thrive. Those who are
idle will starve. There is no fear
that Gods wise and kind law that
men must earn their bread by the
sweat of their brow will be set aside.
The down from the ''cat tall flag,
which grows in marshy localities,
is found to be healing to wounds,
particularly burns and scalds. The
veslcles are punctured and layer
of the down applied and left until
1t drops off. The plant is common,
and the remedy can be readily
tested.
Many farmers throw away the
old brine in beef and pork barrels
and fish packages. Sometimes they
pour it on a grass patch or under u
tree and kill the vegetation. If
they desire to kill vegetation with
it they should pour it on patches Of
burdocks or thistles, or around
trees that are worthless. 1t is bet
ter however, to use it for manure,
in which case it should be applied
with judgemnt. 1t may be applied
to asparagus beds or ounce trees
literally, but to other things spar
ingly. Ordinarily the best DISPOSE
ton to make of 1t is to pour it on a
manure heap and alloy it to be abb
sorbed.- Exchange.

BOYS WANTED.

Boys of spirit, boys of will,
Boys OF muscle, brain and power,
Fit to cope with anything
These are wanted every hour.
Not the weak and whining drohes,
That sll trouble magnify
Net the watchword of'I can't"
But the nobler one, "I'll try"
Do whatever you have t. do
With true and earnest zeal;
Bend your sinews to the task =
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
Though your duty may be hard,
Look not on i. as an i'll;
fit be an honest task,
Do it with an honest will.
At the anvil or on the farm,
Wheresoever you may be-
From your future efforts. boys,
Comes a nations destiny.

A New Winter Grass.

The Maryland Farmer thus de-
scribes n specimen of new winter
grass exhibited by B. B. Snyder of
Baltimore. The plant consisted of
stalk and leaf like red three-leaved
clover. 1t was two feet long, and
at each joint and on the top were
clusters of three or more burrs, like
minute chestnut burrs,yet the pricks
or thorns were soft and yielding.
Mr.. Snyder calls it California or
burr clover. IL grows in his yard /;
he obtained it from a gentleman in
Georgia, who got it accidentally
with some turnip seed from Califor-
MIA, 1t seeds itself and grows all
winter: nc matter hoy frozen the
ground may be it Is green and
growing. Domestic animals are
fond of it. 1t grows in n dense
mass and over two feet high; ripens
its seed first Of June, and in Geor-
gia early enough for the crop to be
turned under as a green manure for
the cotton crop, and in autumn it
comes up so that after the cotton
is picked it furnishes a fine winter
pasture tor stock.
