by, in the tree top,

"Rock-a-by, baby, in the tree top
When the wind blows the cradle will rock;
When the Dough breaks the cradle wilt fall,
Down tnmbles baby and cradle and ALL"
Rock-a-by, BABY, the meadows in bloom,
Laugh at the sunbeams that dance in the
room,
Echo the words with your baby tune,
Coo at the sunshine aud flowers OF June
Rock ably, baby; as softly it swings,
Over the cradle the moth love sings;
Brooding or cooling at even or dawn,
What will it do wheu the mother is gone?
Rock-a-by baby; so cloudless the skies,
Blue as the depths of your own laughing eyes
Sweet is the lullaby over your nest.
That tenderly sings little baby to rest.
Rock-a.by, baby; the blue eyes will dream
Sweetest when mammals eyes over them
beam;
Never again will the world seem so fair
Sleep little baby-there are clouds in the air.
Rock-a-by, baby; the blue eyes will burn
And ache with that your manhood will learn !;
Swiftly the years come with sorrow and care
With burdens the wee dimpled shoulders
Rock-a-by, baby; there's coming day
Whose sorrows mothers lips can't kiss
Days when its song shall be changed to a
Crosses that baby must bear all alone.
Rock-a-py baby; the meadows in bloom,
May never the frost pail the beauty in bloom,
Be thy world ever bright, as to-day it is seen,
Rock-a-by, baby, thy cradle is green"

a Worm That Buds Like a Plant.

There is a kind of sponge which
grows in the depths Of the Mediterranean
sea, and in its tissues most wonderful
worm is found. This syllis, as it is called
has blind head, a long body, ard is
marked with rings like other worms; it
has g number ef short legs sticking out
from the rings and covered with brlstles.
The worm buds like plant, and each bud
turns to a worm like the parent. Hun
dreds Of these buds occur on the head
and on the two legs nearest the neck, and
they speedily grow into long ugly things
which in their turn produce buds and
new crops of worms. When these bud
ding young worms are nearly full grown
the parent appears to be very tired of
their company, and wriggies about and
endeavors to move backward SO as to
leave its attached children behind. Con-
sidering that all these worms produce
eggs, which when hatched become worms
and that every Individual produces others
by budding also, there can be no doubt
that nature has some good reason for
placing vast number of these creatures
on certain spot during short time.
Probably there are may fish that con-
sumo the majority of these worms before
they have been long time separated

Seals ana whales.

Orkney game includes seals which
have their favorite haunts, such es the
Wire Skerries and the Kilns Of Brinno-
van in Rousay, and it requires as much
skill to bag them as to stalk a red deer
on the corries of the Highlands. The
seal is about as amphibious as beaver,
and the rapidity with which it "slidders''
off rocks into the water, on the approach
of danger, is highly creditable to the
promptitude and agility of this very
queer fish. matchmaking as we'll as
seal-shooting must also be numbered
among Orcadian sports. In the autumn
season great "draves" of bottle-nosed CT
ealing whales, often 800 or 400 strong
comc down among the islands in pursuit
Of the herring shoals: and the visitor may
consider himself highly fortunate if he is
enabled to take part in the exciting chase.
Hundreds of the island boats, some speed
ing under sail, some propelled by oars,
follow in the wake of the shoal, the
efforts of the boatmen being directed to
drive the whales, if possible, into the
shadows of sandy bays, where they fall
an easy prey to the destroyers, who are
armed with harpoons, ware forks, three
pronged ''graips,' and any other lethal
weapons which come to point. There
is regular battue when some hundred or
two of bottle-noscs are driven ashore by
the pursuing feet of small boats. The
tourists will find this sport decidedly
more entertaining, as we'll as novel, than
wandering over the Astounding moors and
healthy hlll-sides, gun over shoulder, in
search ofsnipe or plover, rabbit or hare

The execution by guillotine is certainly
more impressive than that by hanging,

kduca,iou for the Kitchen.

The next great step must be to do the
same thing for the art of cookery; and
the friends Of genuine social improvement
may congratulate themselves that the
progress of education is beginning to take
effect upon this important department of
domestic life. Cooking-schools are
sprinsing up in many places in this coun-
try and England, and the English are
taking the lead in organizing them as
part OF their national and common school
system.
VI the Importance, the imperative ne
cesslty of this movment, there cannot be
the slightest question. Our kitchens, as
is perfectly notoriour, are the fortified
Entertainments of ignorance, prejudice,
irrational habits, rule-of-thuIlb, and
mental vacnity. and the consequence is
that the Americans are liable to the re-
proach of suffering beyond any other
people from wasteful, unpaatable, I'M
healthtul and mcnotonous cookery. Con-
sldering our resources, and the Wanted
education and intelligence of American
women, this reproach is just. Our kitch-
ems are, in fact, almost abandoned to the
control of low Irish, stupid negroes and
raw servile menials that pour in upon US
from various foreign countries. And
what is worse there is general acquies-
cence in this state of things, as if it were
something fated, and relief from it hope
less and impossible, We profess to be-
lleve In the potency of education, and
are applying it to all other interests and
industries excepting only that fundamen-
tai art of the preparation and use of food
to sustain life which involves more of
economy, enjoyment, health, spirits and
the power of effective labor, than any
other subject that is formally studied in
the schools. We abound in female SEM

A Tender Memory.

4 little footstep pattering on the floor,
A golden head laid gently on my knee;
A shadow darkening all the earth and sky,
And life is sad and desolate to me.
Sweet tips half parted in peaceful smile;
The light of God upon that baby brow;
A hush upon the tiny waxen face
Our darling's but tender mem'ry now.
Our grief nigh spent, we try to calmly think
To ask ourselves half sternly-.is it right,
That we should mourn that to eternal rest
Her infant form was laid by us tonight?
n lat or years her footsteps might haye turned
Aside from paths that point the heavenly
gate;
Perchance she might have heard tho awful
words;
"You cannot enter now-too late-too late'
And now? All yes! our darling calmly sleeps;
Earth holds for her no hope, nor grief, nor
loss;
Another life has gained the pardon won
With such deep pain upon the bitter cross.

 THE CONVENTION meeting of the del egates the evening before, saves much time, as the roll of delegates is all ready for the &C., tion of the convention. When the time came to ballot for a candidate for Governor, there was not printed ballot to be seen. No other name was mentioned but that of Mir. Andrews, and it was gratifying to hear gen. tlemen from nearly all the counties speak so highly of his course in the Senate, and in the last Legislature. MT. Rockwell, from our county, at last made few very appropriate remarks endorsing what had been said by del egates from Sll parts of the State.

 Our young people, mainly of the families of the Rev. MT. Hillard and s. A. Kelsey, who were in camp three weeks at Bantam lake, re- turned home about the last of August.
 After several weeks vacation, the Rev. Mr. Hillard recommended his work in the first Congregational parish on Sunday the 1st of September.
 In the early part of the month nearly twenty head of MT. F. R. Starrs cattle re- mained here overnight, being on their way to the State Fair. These cattle no doubt have many fine ''points," yet in regard to the COWS l noticed deficiency which if mistake not is common in the Jersey breed-the lack of liberal sized teats to grasp in milking If this deficiency can be remedied great improve ment will have been made in this kind of stock.
 -One dark evening, on or about the 25th inst, MT. Benjamin Bryant walked off steep bank in front of his house on East street, and broke an arm.
 On Sunday, the 29th, the Rev. Mr. Hill lard exchanged pulpits with the Rev. Mr. Leonard of Morris
 -On the same day Mir. Barker, divinity student in Middletown, closed his labors as lay reader in St. Peters church.
 We have had several frosts, yet none pro. ducing very serious damage. So great how ever is the fear of injury, that of morning can be seen almost all sorts of garments cov- ering precious flowers and many other things. But all must soon succumb to the resistless raids of Jack Frest. PLYMoTHEAN.
