POET R 2
GOD KNowETH BEST.

Some time. when all lifeslessons have been learned,
And sun and stars forever more have set,
The things which our weak judgments here have
spurned
The things DER which we grieved with .ashes wei
WIN flash before US. ont of lfe's dark night,
As stars shine NEST In deeper tints of blue
And we shall see hosF al Gods plans we're true.
And how what seemed reproof was love- most true.
AHa We ahaIl see how while we frown and eigh,
Gods plans 70 on az best for you and me,
How when we called. He needed not onr cry,
Because His wisdom TO the end could see.
And even as prudent parents aisalloa
Too rnch of sweet to craving babynood.
So Col perhaps, d keeping frorn ps nav
Lifes sWeeteat things because it seemeth gced.
And If. sometimes, commingled with life's wine,
We ind the wormwood and rebel and shrink,
Be sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours ont this potion for our lips to drink.
And If some friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh, do not blame the loving Father SO.
But wear your sorrow with obedent arace.
And you shall shortly know that heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends his friend,
And that. sometimes. the sable pail of death
Cunceals the fairest boon his love can send.
If we could push aiar the gates of life,
And stand within and all Gods workings see,
We couid interpret all this donbt and strife
And tor each mystery could find key.
But not to-day. Then be content poor heart,
Gods plans. like liiies, pure and white unfold.
We must not tear the clese-ahut leaves apart,
Time will reveal the eayxes OF gold.
And if, through patient toll we reach the land
Where tired feet, with sandals loose may rest,
When we shall clearly know aud understand,
l think that we will say, "God knew the best"

PATENT FLouR.--Almost everybody

else SO much Of the bran got into the -four
in its manufacture that Its color was intol-
erably dark. The wheat would be ground
and then bolted. Ia the refuse the bran
and middlings-Wonld be included . large
portien OF the weight of the spring wheat
and this would sell more particularly for
feed for horses. Now the best Of -four,
and the most expensive, Is made Of this
very refuse Of the old-fashioned process.
It all eams out of the discovery Of a way
to draw ont the bran. Upder the new
process the wheat is ground about as be-
fore. The first result Is an ordinary -four
sold for expectation. Then the remainder
Is taken and put upon great horizontal
sieves, and, while agitation il going on
there, an ingenious system of draft rushing
mp through carries OF the bran. What is
left II the glutinous portion Of the wheat.

THE TRIUMPH OF MIND OVER MATTER
ILLUSTRATED.
Special Correspondence of the Philadelphia Times.
WASHINGTON, July is.
/ have been greatly interested in book
of AGO pages, just issued from the Govern
ment printing Office. 1t is entitled car
guments before the Committee on Patents
of the Senate and House Of Representa-
tives.'' These arguments were made for
and against the bill of the last session
to amend the statutes in relation to pat
ents. This book is full Of strange facts
and interesting details on the subject of
patents, and I confess that have had no
conception of the Importance of this inter-
est. The arguments show . wonderful
knowledge of the subject. The address of
c.. G. Coffin c. Carleton" of the old Bos-
ton Jourmal,) is. particularly instructive.
He was sent by number of gentleman,
largely interested in invention and the
manufacture of patented articles, on a tour
of observation, with view of studying
the industries of the eountry. He spent
several months in the East and West, and
seems to have omitted no channel Of OBJ
seryation. In his argument before the
committee he recounts his travels and ex-
periences and begins with o history of the
plew, which be thinks is the foundation of
all wealth and the basis of all civilization.
He remembers the aplow hls father used,
which was about twelve feet long and re-
quired ten oxen to draw it. There was
great difficulty years later in introducing
the cast-iron plow, for the reason that far
mers thought it weuld poison their land.
Considerable space is devoted to the
steam plow, but It il the conclusion OF
Mr.. Coffin that the steam plow is yet TO be
invented. Several millions of dollars have
already been expended in experiments.
One gentleman testified before acommittee
of Parliament that he had expended $780,
600 and had achieyed no success.
MIR. Coffin next goes TO the subject OF the
corn planter, because corn is the greatest
single agricultural interest in the United
States. The corn crop for 1877 was 800,
600, 600. Six hundred and forty-seyen pat
ents for corn droppers have been is
sued up to 1878. The next Instrument is
the cultivator. There have been 1,6l7 pat
ents taken out for them. The next thing
TO be considered is the corn-husker, but
this, like the steam plow, the world still
waits for. Considerable space is devoted
to corn shellegs. With shovel or frying
pan, In use few years ago, one man cnnld
shell about five bushels ia ten hours. ihe
first invention was cy Under turned BY .
crank, by which man might shell about
forty bushels in . day. In Illinois the
farmers now employ steam or horse pow
er. and two men, with the aid of the new
shelters, will shell 1900 bushels ia . day,
the cobs being carried of into . pile BY
themselves and the corn run into sacks or
wagons. Take the crop of last year, ], soO,
O0o. GOO bushels. The entire population Of
the United States every man, woman and
child. every individual of the ~. 900 900 %
us--wonld be reqaiesd 70 spend the entire
SIX working days of the week and flil noon
of Sunday to shell tha crop bs' the old
process.

THE MODERN FARMER.

The pipes of the quail in the ct ubble 6eid;
The scent of the new-mown hay
And all day long the shout and the song
Of the reapers so far away:
The restless racket amid the grain,
The noise of the reaping machine;
And ever AGAIN the howl OF pain
Comes over the meadows green.
Oh, sweet is the field where the meadow lark iits
And sings, as it scars and dives;
~ Where the glauger sits. and yells as he gifts
His fingers among the knives.
No longer we hear on the hills des sere,
The scythe- stones clinkety clink;
But the reaping machine cuts his leg OFF, ween,
Before the man can think.
With foreboding and tears the good wife hears
The man of the house say goodbye;
To return in sooth. with horse-rake tooth
Sticking four inches ont of his eye.
When the threshers come in with halloo and din,
How burdened with sorrow the hour,
When they pause to scan what is left of the m an
Chawed up in an eight-horse power.
Oh 1.-THE and listenl From ever the hills
What voice for the doctor begs?
"Tis the stoker who fell. and awful to tell
The steam harrow run over his legs.
Thus all day long, with mirth and song,
They laugh at the dread alarms.
Though the waning field shall its harvest yield,
OF fingers and legs and arms.
Then pity the sorrows of poor old granger
Whose mangled limbs have borne him to the
fence,
who braved.w with reckless courage, untold danger
And runs his farm with modern implements.

n. r. Evening Poss.

Edison has given to- the world several
valuable inventions, but he viii do we'll to
make the most Of his fame, because there
is man in Hackensack, n. j., who will
doubtles soon outshine him as a bensfact or
of his race. This philanthropist long ago
decided that mankind needed nothing 20
much as oolio- proof cucumber. He had
for years appreciated the delioate taste of
that watery vegetable, and had the fullest
realization OF its cooling effect when served
acidulated and iced with the morning meal.
But his pleasure was always destroyed by "a
knowledge that the feast would be followed
by that abdominal torture which the Gu
cumber Is 30 well fitted TO produce. He,
therefore, concentrated his mental powers
on the production Of cucumber which
would satisfy the palate without offending
any of the organs with which it might after
ward come Ia contact. His plan was 10 an.
ply to the ungrown vegetable the remedies
which are found effective in allaying the
pain which 1t causes to human beings. He,
therefore, chose some perfect seeds and
wrapped each seed in a small piece OF warm
flannel soaked with camphor. In the soil
where the seeds were deposited he put o
layer OF ground mustard and sprinkiing
Of Cayenne pepper. AS soon as the plants
appeared above the ground be spriakled
them daily with landannm and brandy and
in order that both schools of medicine
might share in the glory Of his scheme, be
suspended over each hill bottle containing
nux vomica and arn:ca in pellets. BY this
means he proposes 70 cure the cucumberst
OF the collie which they contain instead Of
waiting TO apply the remedies TO suffering
man after the vegetable has done It's work.
Is s.too early for Hackensack cucambers
yet, bat when the new spesies already for
market and h proved q success there can
b. 40 doubt Of the demand for item Of OF

ITsELF.-That popular humorous lecturer
De Cordova, says Herper's Weekly, was a
passenger by the soythia on her last trip
from Liverpool to New York, and, as a
matter of course, bore his part in all the
social entertainments that enlivened the
tedium Of the voyage. One dayja happy
thought struck one of the passengers, that
De Cordova should be invited to deliver
ono of his inimitabie lectures in the shlp's
saloon, and that the proceeds should be di-
yided equally between Liverpool and a
New York charity but the Captain refused
the use of the saloon for this purpose unless
all the proceeds were given to Liverpool.
The English passengers were quite as in
dignant as the Americans at this dog-in-
the-nianger attitude, and tried In vain to
induce the captain to change his mind.
Finding him obstinate, the passengers in
yited De Cordoya to give them . lecture
on deck, and one fine afternoon were enter
tanned with witty and humorous
familiar talk about q Mrs. Grundy.' All
were delighted and when the hat was
passed around very liberal contribution
was made, the whole of which, by the ex-
press desire Of the English passengers, who
gave all the more freely to show their
disapprobation Of the Captains obstinacy,
was handed over to tho children's Aid
Society OF this City. But for the ,lliberali-
y Of the Captain. half Of the sum would
have gone to some Liverppo o1 chaSity.

j. L. Cummings of the g. Mile House,
Grant county, Oregon, writes to the Dalles

follows:
Undoubtedly you want al the news

that is reliable. The mountains seem to

Of the opinioa that our troubles here are just
commenced. The farmers dare not go 10.
work at their harvest for fear Of the In1i-
ans. It is going TO be hard time with
us if the war closes now. We fand that
large numbers Of cattle are shot along the
trail of the Indians, and they have taken or
killed all the horses In reach of their trail

men being killed in this valley Oliver Aid

previous statements in regard to the advisa-
bility of the transfer. The General de-
scribed the suffering of the Indians,
and said the army should either be
transferred to the Interior Department,
or the Indian Bureau to the War De-
partment Under the existing manage
ment the Government was very heavily
taxed, and the poor Indian" was driven
to the wall, notwithstanding. It was his
opinion that twenty years hence the Ameri-
can population would reach s0,000,000, and
as the population increased, the Indian
reservation would be required for cultiva-
ton, and the Indian should be cared for
now that he might be prepared for the
emergency. The total number OF
Indians is nearly $4,000, and under
the military management great numbers
could be placed under civilian
agents, always, however, retaining military
power over them. With reference to the
proposition of the Indian Bureau to arm the
young bucks as soldiers or policemen, Gen.
Sherman said the idea was inadvisable as it
was simply arming bitter enemy. Should
the transfer be made Indian wars would be
unheard of. All trouble could be foreseen
and outbreaks prevented. Quar termaster
General Meigs contended that the transfer
must prove beneficial to both Indians and
the army.
