looked. and found the foweret fair
So fair, / sought with sudden zest
To wear its beauty on my breast
The trembling petals at my touch
A sweeter, subtler fragrance shed;
Tis strange loved the flower SO much,
And--it was dead,
III that high mood when thought had wings,
And finds alone its speech in song,
struck an o.d harp's slumbering strings
And drew an idle hand along;
Nor seemed the careless chords had caught
The life-note that my spirit sought,
Till sudden on my startled ear,
Its dream-created accents woke;
Alackl bought the rapture dear
The string had broke.
I heard wild bird on the shore
Singing wild song to the sea,
And bold the burden that it bore
And sweeter than all else to me-
So swe It, l Gagged the bird to hear
His magic minstrelsy more near.
Untamed; the captiyes swell ling throat
In enc sad song his whole soul cast;
Too well know his loveliest note
Had been his last
And yet, while memory hath power
To count the hours too vainly spent,
The fragrance of that faded flower,
That harp's last dying music, blent
With the wild birds wierd death song, will
haunt every waking moment, still ...,
Teaching my heart the bitter cost
Of all the eye of hope hath seen,
OF all that life hath won and lost
That might have been.

Mineral Wealth Of Turkey.

The Grand Vizier is doing his best to
create new resources, but he Ia nearly at
his wits end. As alast expedient he pro-
poses to lease the working of the coal mine
at lieraclea, on the Black Sea, in security
for q new loan he is trying to negotiate.
This mine produces a good co Il. and as it
lies near the sea there is but little difficulty
in the transportation of the coal. The
Turks have never been successful i'm mi
ming operations. They have but few men
of practical science, and there is SO much
rascality among their off .s.ss that there is
but little net rev nle from such underta.

concede their mines to them. The empire

particularly Thessaly, Bosnia and Asia
Minor. On the slopes of Olympus in the
vale of Tempe, an English company has
for many years been engaged in mining op-.
erations, chiefly among the gold and silver
deposits in,bedded in the fanes of this rem.
desvous of the Gods of Grecian fable. This
is the only foreign company of note that
has been able to obtain a valuable concess-
ion in the eraldistricts. Bosnia abounds
in copper, lead, zinc, silver and iron of the

o thou. whose cherished image seems
A portion of my heart,
Whose eyes of light make glad my dreams,
. Farewell, for now we part.
The beat is swelling on the bay
That bears me on my distant way,
For years to rove the dreary sea
For years-and think Of only thee.
Yet will that beauteous image make
The dreary sea less drear,
And thy remembered smile will wake
The hope that tramples fear. -.,
When shall face the tempest's wrath,
Or struggle through the dangerous path,
Where the blue icebergs, vast and steep.
Drifting and dashing. crowd the deep.
Then, too, when heaven with clouds is dark,
And wild winds sweep the vale,
Wilt thou not think of him whose barque
Strives with the polar gale?
Wilt thou not think and softly pray
For the sea wanderer far away,
That, all his tolls and perils DER
His hand may clasp thy hand once more?
But shouldst thou hear no more of me,
Or hear that have died,
And sleep within that icy sea,
Or on its desert side,
Will not pang thy bosom. press,
Even in thy pride of loveliness-
A tear in thy sweet eyeids shine
For him whose latest thought was thine

A GREETING

So many stars as shine In the sky,
So many little winds mnrmuring by,
So many blessings attend;
So many leaves as dance on the trees,
So many flowers as wave in the breeze
Brighter than those, love, and sweeter than these
The loving thoughts that send thee.
Were the golden sun to shine,
Every ray glad thought of mine,
Loving and true and tender,
would crown with my beams thy dearest head,
From morning golden to evening red;
Deep in my heart lies the thought unsaid,
The love that no speech can render:
When the sweet flowers droop and die,
Think that my hopes all withered lie;
Think how my heart is broken!
When in April with sun and rain,
Violets blossom on hill and plain,
Think thou couldst call me to life again
By the sweet word still unspoken!

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
By r. H. sToDDARD.

This man, whose homey face you look upon,
Was one of natures masterfu, great men,
Born with strong arms that unfought hattles won;
Direct of speech and cunning with the pen.
Chosen for large designs. he had the art
Of winning with his humor, and he went
Straight to his mark which was the human heart;
Wise, too; for what he could not break he bent
Upon his back more than Atlas load,
The burden of the Commonwealth was laid;
He stopped, and rose up to it, though the road
Shot suddenly downward, not whit Gismayed.
Hold! Warriors, councillors, kings-all now give
place
To this dear benefactor of the race.

Hints on Feeding.

Cooking or steaming of corn mea
for feeding hogs, is found by carefully
conducted experiments to- be of tor
little advantage to pay for the fuel and
labor. The grinding of grain, of al
kinds, for ansmals, is recommended
Some animals, like persons, have bet
ter digestive powers than ethers, tho
not differing seemingly in genera
health.
Corn fodder, when fed in winter, i;
better for being cut ald steamed, ol
scalded- especially if no roots are used
in feeding. Cattle relish some kind o.
moist food, and thrive the better for it
Our friend Wales, of Stark county
who keeps large amount of stock al
most exclusively on steamed corn fod-
der in winter, says the ''steaming puts
the summer into it again."
Horses when standing in the stable
should not be given all the hay they
will eat, as they will eat more than is
for their good, if it is kept before them,
Regular and moderate feeding is best
for animals as well as men.-W. B.
Bateham.
