THE L F

Up with the birds in early morning
The dew drop CLOVIS like a precious gem;
Beautiful tints in the skies are dawning,
But she's never a moment to look at
them.
The men are wanting their breakfastear
She must not linger, she must not wait
For words that are sharp and looks that
are surly,
Are that men give when meals are late.
Oh glorious colors the clouds are turning,
If she would but look over hill and tree;
But here are the dishes, and here the
churning-
Those things always must yield TO these,
The world is filled with the wine of beauty,
If she could but pause and drink it in;
But pleasure she says, must wait for duty
Neglected work is committed SIN.
The days grow hot and her hands grow
weary;
Oh, for an hour to cool her head,
Out with the birds and the winds so
CHEEKY
But she must get dinner and bake the
bread.
The busy men in the bayfield, working,
If they saw her sitting with idle hands,
Would think her lazy. and call it Sinking,
And she never could make them under
stand.
They do not know that the heart within
her
Hungers for beauty and things sublime;
They only know that they want their
dinner
Plenty of it-and just on time"
After sweeping, and churning, and baking,
And dinner dishes are all put by,
She sits and sews. though her head is
aching,
Till time for supper and " chores" draws
nigh.
H-r boys al school must look like Others,
She says, as she patches their frocks and
hose
For The world is quick to censure mothers
For the least neglect of children's clothes
Her husband comes from The field Of labor,
He gives no praise to his weary wife;
She's done no more than has her neighbor
Ills the lot of all in country life.
But after the strife and weary tussle
With lie is done, and she lies at rest,
The nations brain and heart and muscle
Her sons and daughters-shall call her
blest.
And think the sweetest joys of heaven,
The rarest bliss eternal life,
A I'd the ::airest crown OF all will be given,
Unto the way-~orn farmers wife.

OLIVES In CALIFORNIA.

1t seems probable that California
is TO Lave an olive excitement. The
table grape, the wine grape, the raj
sin grape, the English walnut, the
almond and the orange has each had
its season for planting extensively,
and each has failed to come up to the
expectation of its advocates because
of some disease, destructive insects,
fitness for very limited areas OF soil
or climate, or high expense in pre-
pairing the product for the market.
We have long claimed, and still be-
lieve, that the olive deserves relative
ly more favor in California than any
other plant, because it will bear val
liable crops on poor soil, with less at,
tention. 1t ought to cove. hillsides
that are now worthless: r qnlrss
no irrigation, will grow es5yclay Or
rocky soil without cultivation, and
will begin to bear in fom or five
years, though it will not come into
full bearing till ten years Old. Last
week Elwood Cooper, of Santa Bar
bara, brought to San Francisco 1000
gallons of we'll clarified oliveoil. MI.
Cooper has found a little trouble in
disposing of his oil. He wants $l2
a a Of a dozen bottles, whereas
the imported article, adulterated with
oils made from mustard, cotton or
grape seed, peanuts or lard-and in
many instances the liquid does not
contain a particle Of olive oil-can
be had for SO. Mr.. Cooper has G.00O
trees, some of them seven years old,
and these produce twenty gallons OF
berries each on an average in a good
year, and one gallon of oil is obtain
ed from seven Of berries. Trees ten
years old in a good soil will aTerase
fifty gallons of berries in a good year,
but sometimes will yield $50 gallons.
After a good crop the tree usually
takes a years rest, so that its good
years alternate. The whole yield
from a mature orchard may be sci.
down at 200 gallons OF ely Iess.MtF,
and of this fifty g%allors may be
deducted to pay for gathering The
berries ard making and marketing

side; the patient is rarely able TO lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends TO the top of the

for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appc-
titc and sickness; the bowels in gen

with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is

A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly scnsa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that excr-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortltudc

mate Corporation ticket. A large ma
jori.y Of the Democracy are opposed to
convention. have talked to q great ma
ny of them and they are almost unani-

mated from some one Of the bolting class,
who are always fosmost to lead the party
when a little Office is sought by them or
some of their relations, and after they are
defeated, will bolt the ticket and curse ths
party. The Democracy do not intend to
allow such men to manage the affairs OF
the party, nos do they intend they shall be
nominated or elected; they will learn them
that if they are Democrats at heart they

officers; men who attend to their duties as
officers regardless Of party. DEMOCRAT.
