Joe Hooker, at the reception of the
Army of the Potomac, occupied a big
armchair, having beautiful little girl
of seven on his knees, whom he kissed
repeatedly. One of the company re-
marked to the child, "You must re-
member this. Ten or fifteen years
hence you will be very proud Of having
been kissed by fighting Joe Hooker"
Whereupon the general wittily rctorted,
81 should not mind 1t either, my dear,
If you were ten or fifteen years older
now."

MY LAND.

She is q Tich aud rare land
Oh she's fresh aud fiAr land;
She is a dear and rare land
The native land OF mine.
No men than here are brayer,
Her women's hearts ne'er wayer;
I'd freely die to save her.
And think my lot divine.
She's not q dull or cold land;
No she's a warm and bold land;
Oh she's true and old land
This native land Of mine.
Could beauty ever guard her.
And virtue still reward her,
No foe would cross her border
No friend within it pine.
Oh she's a fresh and fair land;
oh she's true and rare land;
Yes, she's 4 rare and fair land
This native land Of mine.

Emily V. Mason was reputed to be
the most beautiful woman in the North
west. Her family were patrician and
all her associations were elevated. In
1888, when her father was Secretary of
the Territory of Michigan, she enjoyed
political as well as social distinction,
and later, when Michigan was erected
into State, her brother, Stevens T.
Mason, became its first Governor, and
she presided over his household and
dispensed liberal and graceful hospi-
tality. The gubernatorial mansion was
the centre of the culture and fashion of
the Northwest, and Miss Mason was at
the head of the society of the Wolverine
metropolis. While Miss Mason was
discharging the dudes of first lady of
the State, Major Lewis Cass was at
West Point. During his vacations he
visited his home and was thrown much
into the society of the brilliant Emily.
He was younger than she, and if he
was smitten by her beauty and accom-
plishments he never summoned the
courage to propose. The sudden death
Of Governor Mason and the breaking
up of the Mason homestead and the re.
verse that followed obliged Miss Mason
to look about for means of support. She
was girl of proud, independent spirit.
and with the remains of her property
she purchased a market farm in Fairfax
County, Va, and began business like a
practical woman. She developed ener-
gy and commercial foresight, and soon
enjoyed abundant prosperity. She sup
ported herself and her orphaned nieces
in elegant style. worked bard, and ac-
quired competence. at the outbreak
of the civil war, her home was one of
the most delightful in all Virginia, and
she was enabled to devote a consider
able portion of time to literature. The
war, how ever, scattered her fortune to
the winds, and left her all but destitute.
She was now fully matured woman,
over 40 years of age, strong, resolute
and energetic. Driven from her home,
she went to Richmond and became
nurse in the hospitals. The Federal
prisoners who came under her ministra-
tiOns were objects of her especial care.
On the close of the war she devoted her.
self to the education of Southern Or
phans, and published several works of
an educational character. She dweltin
Washington for awhile, and her home
in Pennsylvania avenue was the resort
of some of the most brilliant men and
women in the capital. She occupied
position in one of the government offices
for time, and everywhere commanded
respect and admiration. She finally
took up her residence in Paris. Many
years before this Major Cass had estab-
lished himself in the French capital,
and had become a Frenchman in his
tastes and methods of life The two
met and the concealed passion of early
years rekindled in the breast of the old
gentleman, led him to offer Miss Mason
his hand and fortune, but she said that
she had resolved never to marry, and
the Major asked her to do him the honor
of granting him her friendship. - Z hss.u

From these few illustrations il must
be evident to you that manurcs supply

not hesitate 10 give il as my opinion
that cultivated soils generally, whether
in Great Britain or elsewhere, which
have become impoverished by cropping,

restored TO fertility by tho application

Chemical Manurcs.

AT the recent meeting Of the New
Hampshire Board Of Agriculture, at
Littlcton, \. H., Mr.. Sanborn spoke
substantially as follows:
lie considered the present system of
farming which has come down to us
from the past as having been adapted
to those times, but the 10000 indiyidu-
ais who abandoned the occupation Of
farming at sacrifice, from 1860 to
1870, are evidence that the system for
the present must be mistake. The
farmer of the future would cultivate
more thoroughly, would purchase nj
trogenous instead OF carbonaceous food
for his stock, for the benefit of the ma
nurc heap and the animal would build
water-tight pens for his manure heaps
and protect them from washing rains
or running water; would use very
much more of chemicals, thus cultivat-
ing more and using additional capital ;
would buy his manures more economi-
cally by understanding chemical terms
as applied to fertilizers. lie, the speak
er, bought the plain chemicals and thus
saved fully thirty per cent. in purchase,
enabling him to use them TO advantage.
His nitrogen cost him only nineteen
cents per pound, phOsphoric acid elev-
en-, and potash six. In the manufac-
tured article IL would cost more than
thirty per cent. more. Again, discre-
ton is needed in selecting the crop up
on which to nsc them; a bushel of
