They'll be very far when the night is past,
And so would if knew but how.
How calm she was with her saint-like facet
Her eyes are valet, mine are blue.

Her hands are whittier and softer, too.
They have gone to the city beyond the hills;
They must never come back to this place

Some one. perhaps. is travelling to- night.
1 hope that the moon may shine instead,
And heaven be starry, and earth all bright
It is only one summer that she's been here,
1t has been my home for seventeen years!
And seventeen summers of happy bloom
Fall dead to night in a rain of tears.
1t is dark. all dark in the midnight shades,
Father in Heaven, may have rest
One hour of rest for this aching head,
For this throbbing heart I'm my weary

For him prayed for my soul in truth,
For him 1 am kneeling with lifted hands,
To lay at his feet my shattered youth.
L loved. and love, love him still;
More than father, mother, or life.
My hope of hopes was to bear his name,
My heaven of heavens to be his wifei
His wifei the name that angels breathe,
The words shall not crimson my cheek with

Twould have been my glory the name to

In the princely heart from which It came
And the kiss gave to the bride Tonight

That the kiss to her might be given to him

wear. which are manufactured from
combing wool, that could be easily and
probably produced at home. If we
have permitted the good old fashion of
spinning and weaving our own domes-
tic goods to become obsolete, we might
certainly grow tho wool and employ our
own artisans to work it up In otir own
factories with profit. This may be
done proftably, for if we now produce
1000, 600 pounds of combing wool with
profit, there can be no good reason why
the product might not be doubled and
multiplied many more times, until our
wants We're supplied by native-grown
wool. The great bugbear is the high
culture needed for the successful keep
ing of large-bodied long-wool sheep.
Heavy manuring, growing foot crops,
and careful breeding are necessary for
this pursuit, and while some good farm
ers find profit in it, the great majority
are scarcely prepared to undertake it.
Gradually this difficulty is wearing
away as farmers are becoming better
informed and more studious of what is
necessary for the best culture of their
land, and as they learn this, the diff
culties in rearing and keeping the long
wool sheep which have prevented sue
cess, in great measure, will vanish

Nid-nOdding.

Poppy buds hang over one by one;
All the garden alleys glow with heat;
Slow and languid are the little feet,
Glad to linger in the door way cool,
Home at noon from school.

Where the lazy little brooklets run
Through the meadow, swings an idle bird,
Chirps the faintest carol ever heard,
Twittering through the tinkle of the rill-
Then the nest Is still.
Md nodding in the sun,
Droop the heavy grasses every one,
Kissing down the drowsy laddio's eye;
Croons a locust from the field close by;
Lost in deils of dream land, cool and deep,
He is fast asleep.

AGRICULTURAL.

THE ARMT-woRM.-The army-worm
differs both in appearance and habits
from the cotton-worm. The FIRST Is q
consumer of any green crop Which
chances to lie in the line of its march,
while the cotton-worm subsists, as its
name indicates, on the foliage of the
cotton-plant. The army-worm Is also
longer lived than the cotton-caterpilla
and travels faster. 1t is not, however,
so subtle an enemy, and therefore is
less difficult to overcome. The planter
is often apprised of the advance of the
army-worm in time to prepare for Its
reception. Probably as effective an OBJ
stacle as any in the path of the army
worm is ditch of moderate depth hay
ing smooth perpendicular sides. An
other precaution employed is scattering
straw or dry sedge grass in the ditch
and renewing 1t as fast as burned, so as
to keep bed of hot einders or line of
fire between the field and the advancing
pests. As not only eotton-felds but all
garden crops that lie in the line of
march are devoured, a patrol OF pillow
and spade to keep open the ditch is ad-
vised when this is at all practicable

The PinafOre Craze.

A disguised mother complains in the

realities which Cypress her since the
Pinafore craze set in: Fancy, if you
can, my daughter Edith at the piano

George, in the dining room, is shouting
at the top of his voice, that He polish
ed up the handle of the big front door. "
So incessant has become the repetition
of these snatches of operate nonsense
that am uncoDsciously falling into the
same folly myself, and this morning
caught myself whistling "The merry.
merry maiden" Am going mad, too,
1 wonderP A few evenings since my
minister called-and so earnestly had
we engaged in considering the cheapest
method of clothing the benighted
heather that the hour had grown late
when he rose to depart. Suddenly, the
parlor door flew open, aud in strobe
George, bawling in tones that might
have been heard block away, "He
is an Englishman, and it's greatly to his
credit" Then seeing my visitor, he
stopped and begged pardon. "Rut,"
said he, "really, Mr.. Steadfast, you
should have been at the theater tonight;
the Admiral was really immense
The good man looked shocked,
and as for me, was ready
to faint, and you might have
knocked me down with a feather after
what followed, for in voice of great
solemnity Mr.. Steadfast addressed the
wretched boy: "Young man, do you
never think of your latter end?''
-" Well," replied George, with shrug
and grin, "h-a-r-d-l-y ever" think the
good man was disguised, for he passed
out with the remark that he was afraid
George was very wicked young man.

night; my nerves were quite upset. just
as l was entering the realms of Nod
sound reached my ears-a mournful wall
as of some one in distress-and Ellen,
my youngest, who sleeps with me, heard
it too. and muttered, dreamily, "Oh,
isn'tit quite alarmingP" Going to the
hall, discovered that the noise proceed
ed from Georges room. With flying feet
l ran upstairs. Perhaps he was ill. Hip
Not bit of it; but he sat in undress uni
form before the window, bowling at the
moon and asking it "why every thing
was either at skies or sevens." "Oh, why
are you not in bed P" 1 cried; 'it is two
o'clock in the morning. You will be the
death of me-" continued; "come, get
% bed this moment" and began pull

A Preachnent.

o, mani If hard thy fortune,
However fate importune,
Turn not to wrong. None lind, or will,
Their good enlarged by doing ill.
As boats that row in Venice,
Just so the life of men is;
Our course goes crooked DER the tide,
With but broken oar to guide.
Thy heart of oak then cherish,
Or sure thy soul will perish;
The soul is but boat that goes
Whatever way the heart hath chose.

when his seconds made, as it seemed, a
last attempt for FORMS sake to smooth
matters; whereupon these two entered
into coloquy with MN. de Tartarin and
de Flamberge, while the pair of princi,
pals stood aloof In less than two min
utes the preliminaries were settled; then
20 PAGES were measured and four pis-
tolls were loaded. "Here, take these
two," said de Tartarin. advancing to-
ward Lambkin, "and mind you don't
fire till drop my handkerchief, after
the words one, two"
There was huge lump in Lambkin' $
throat, but he took the pistols. NJ. de
Craquetot had thrown away his cigar,
and stood facing him, exposing, howev-
err. but one side of his body. Capt. de
Tartarin took up position out of reach
of accidents and elspped his hands, ad-
ding sharply, One-two-now fire!''
and he dropped the handkerchief.
Four reports seetled to bang out i'm

his hat, and felt something like prick
on the Heshy part of his hand. His
headdress had been transported and his
thumb grazed, but blood was flowing
from Ii. As for M. de Craquetot, he
lay on the ground writhing, with one
bullet in the calf of his left leg and the
other in his collar bone. Poor Lamb
kin turned icy cold at the sight.
"Mong Dioul have killed him!"
cried he, and he ran forward with both
hands extended. "Mossoo, beg your
pardon; I meant to fire III the air. See

PROFIT IN SHEEP when
the farmers family did their own spin
ming, knitting, and often the weaving
and dyeing of their 4" homespun" cloth
ing, the flock of sheep was as needful a
portion of the stock as the flock of hens
now is. Since these labors have been
thrown on to the wooden mill and the
factory, sheep have been kept as money
makers rather than as means for pro.
curing wool for home use. The conse-
quence is that new way must be found
to dispose OF the product of the flock,
and very important opening has been
made in the market for mutton. But
mutton and combing wool 60 chiefly to-
gether, the fipe-wool sheep being in
ferior in carcase to the longwool breeds.
So that it is desirable that the long
wooded sheep should be kept where the
mutton is the principal object sought.
upon farms where high culture is prac-
ticed, and where roots are grown for
feeding the sheep, the large-bodied long
woods and their crosses upon the longest
wool merinos are undoubtedly prefera-
BILE. 1t is fancied by some whose in
clinations would lead them in this di-
rection, that the home marketfor comb
ing wool is abundantly supplied. But
it is not by homegrown wool that its de-
mands are met. We consume 100000
pounds of coarse combing wool annual
ly, and of this we import one-half.
There is yet an opening, therefore,
for 100000 pounds of wool
of this kind yearly, which
would require 500, 900 sheep to produce
it. The value of the imported wool is
about So. 00O,O coo annually, and besides
this there are many million dollars
worth of worsted stuffs imported every

How TO TRAIN A GRAPEvINE.-One
of the old questions that is ever new, is
how to train grapevine. The books
will tell you all about it. Oh, yes, moth
ing easier. There is your renewal sys-
tenn, and your alternate system. and
your Thomeny system, and dear knows
how many other systems, that look SO
simple and beautiful in the cuts; but
when the ordinary man gets in front of
a rampant vine that has had its owl way
in the past, he fails to see how any sys-
tenn will fit in. The fact is, to carry out
any systematic training one must begin
with young vine and carry it through
for several years. With an old vine lit
tie more can be done than to prune out
the old wood and get the young wood
evenly distributed over the trellis. Our
strong native vines refuse to be cramp-
ed by any of the c1ose-pruning meth
DDS, and go off in rush of water
shoots when so hemmed in. The Della
ware is one of the best to try expert
ments on, as it yields kindly to any
treatment. Our vineyardists have been
in the habit of pruning back pretty
closely, leaving only three or four eyes
to shoot, but of late years they are
leaving on more wood. Last fall
fruit-grower from the Hudson River told
us of a system in use in Ulster County
which took its name from the man who
first introduced, Mr.. Kniffen. Only
two wires are used on the trellis, and
these are four and six feet from the
ground. The vine is first carried to the
top wire; then four side-shoot are
grown and trained to the wires for per-
manent arms. These are kept about
two feet in length, and from them are
grown the bearing shoots each year,
four or five to each arm. These shoots
are allowed to grow their full length
and hang down towards the ground.
Each fall they are pruned back to sim
gle bud and a new set grown the next
year. This system has the merit of
simplicity, and can be readily tested in
the vineyard or with few garden vines.
