What is it that constitutes value

endurance; having bottom enough

to say, that all this cannot be done,

Thy voice is in my ear;
Once more thy voice hear,
Bringing now hope now fear,

And thy sweet face doth rise,

Cloudless as summer skies

Once more at nights soft noon,
Under the pensive moon
OF long vanished June,
With thee stray,
As when in days of old
All my hearts love I told,
And to my pleading bold
Thou saidst not nay.
When thou vast by my side
Calmly the days did glide,
Like an unruff1ed tide
My life did flow.
Then was each hour too brief
Now l but seek relief
From my consuming grief,
Rest from nay woe.
Now falls the scalding tear,
Shed for the present drear,
Shed for the past so dear,
So quickly flown.

Hard by the sounding wave.
Madly the wind-gusts rave;

CORN OR TOBACCOP
A Word of Caution.


Ten years ago the show of hands
in the Connecticut valley would have
bees for tobacco. But ten years
have dispelled several financial de-
lusions, and eur farmers are new get
ting their eyes wide open to the one
in hand. To say nothing OF the
farms bankrupted by tobacco up the
river in the Hatfield and Deerield
regions, enc of the shrewdest and
most successful Of our farmers re-
marked the other day that the tobac-
CO farms lying from LOngmeadow
southwark through the Windsors had
largely deteriorated in permanent
value through the manifest absorb
ton for many years from the soil by
tobacco Of certain qualities. which
caa not be easily replaced. if replac-
ed at all. Besides this, they have
suffered by the disproportienate con-
centration on some lands and the
wasteful neglect Of others. Nothing
blinds the eye to facts like high
prices, but a continuation Of low
prices finally restores GOODNESS and
candor of judgment. The recent
meeting Of the Hampden Harvest
club at Agawam threw valuable light
on the subject. They went into
careful and accurate calculation of
every detail belonging to the cost Of
q bushel of corn under fair condi-
tions Of cultivation by the acre, be-
ginning with interest on land and |
taxes, and ending with husking and
cribbing. The result was a triae
over AZ cents per bushel, and as q
crib OF corn was lately sold at auc-
tion in this vicinity for 81 cents per
bushel, there is, reckoning 20 pounds
Of ears to the bushel, q net profit Of
about 25 cents per bushel. What
business in these days pays better
than that? The greater value of
our New England corn over the ives.
tern crop must alEo be reckoned. A
case was adduced of the sale from q
birmingham farm of 1000 bushels
o year to one man, delivered at the
depot for the two last years at 90
cents per BusheI. But the cash pro-
fit is not the only advantage. Mere

dealing with the tramp nuisance, when
s44ms 10 work remarkably well. 1t Is
the result of private enterprise and the
city only lent its influence. A society
started large wood yard. All the
tramps from the several station houses
were at once sent there. All beggars
found on the street were questioned.
and in reply to the usual plea 10
work, :" they were told to go to the
wood yard Even poor citizens, who
had been partially dependent on the
public charities for support, were sent
to the same place and given work. The
wages to all corners were fifty cents lel
dav. As this allowed the society tC
sell Their wood cheaply, and as there
was a general disposition all around tt
help along the enterprise, the wood yard
did a thriving and profitable business
The consequence has been that The
enterprise has greatly expanded, anc
during the last fall new lands have
been rented, new sheds put up and new
implements been introduced. During
the second season the number Of trampi
decreased just two-thirds. Many p9ol

distress avoided. The enterprise ha,
been a great success in every way.

the best method of treating the tram
