GLEANINGs FROM THE MUSE.
THE PoEr's GRAVE.
lone of Bavard Taylor's earlier poems

Zone of Bayard Tsylor's earlier poems.l
Twas 10 sunny forest nook
With flowers and moss DER grown;
Where naught was heard save the bees low hum
Or wild winds liquid tone
They laid the gentle bard to rest
When lifes wild dream was Ger,
When the Tyre he woke with magic power
Gave forth its notes no more.
They laid him there when sunsets beam
Yet fingered on the hill,
But the heart bat leapcd at that bright hour
In deaths long sleep was STILL
Sadly they heaped the messy mold
above his fair 5oung form,
And wept that the grave should hide
The heart so free and warm.
The elm's long boughs droop DER the turf,
Like mourners weeping by,
And there, in spring, the violet first
Looks up with mild blue eye;
And when the forests in the garb
OF summer proudly wave
A thousand low, sweet melodies
Float mournful round his grave.
A holy calm breathes DER the spot,
The trees dark shadows fling,
Save when through twining boughs quick CLEANS
The wild birds flashing wing.
There, when the sunsets glow decays,
Bright forms with sunny hair
Glide slowly through the forest asles,
Then fade In twilight air.

ceiling, cornices and interior walls of a

of pine wood, but all the furniture,
blinds, curtains, chandeliers, carpeting,
ornamental doors, mantel and table
ornaments were of paper, including a
stove made of asbestos paper, in which q

The Alfalfa.-Says the San Francisco
Bulletin: The alfalfa, now so famous, is
only the lucerne of England acclimated
in Chill, and from thence was transferred
to California. In England it had the
advantages of a very humid climate; in
Chill the disadvantages of very dry
one. But when it had been made to
thrive there, it was just the grass for the
dry climate of California. 1t would not
flourish everywhere. 1t is very sensi-
tive to frost in the early stages of its
growth. Yet in England, and in Penn
sylvania, where it is produced, we hear
little about its being killed by frost. 1t
did not make the battle against frost, but
against drought. 1t bears the same
character in California
We frequently receive letters from q
long distance, sometimes from Australia,
and now and then from the Atlantic
States, making inquiries about this grass
and where the seed can be produced
For the Atlantic or Middle States, seed
produced in France or England would
be much the most satisfactory. A large
quantity of alfalfa hay is now sent to
the local markets. If properly cured it
is a good hay for general purposes. 1t is
better to pass it through the cutting
machine and to wet it, on account of its
woody" character. 1t softens quickly,
and stock cattle like it. Considerable
discussion has been going on of late as
to its relative value for dairy purposes
1t was maintained by some that it i'm
parted an unpleasant flavor to the milk
and butter. But recent investigations
tend to show that this is only tenn
porary difficulty. For the first ten days
or SO this flavor is noticeable. After
ward it disappears and there is no
further difficulty. The same facts in
kind have been noticed where cabbage,
rutabagas or turnips have been fed to
dairy cows. The rankness or unpleas-
ant flavor is only temporary. On the
whole, the weight of authority is on the
side of alfalfa as very good dairy
forage.

TOPICS FOR THE FARM.
Alcohol In Agriculture.=If farmer

Alcohol In Agriculture.-If farmers
would only remember, says the New
York Tribune, when they are cleaning
out the stables and pig pins that they
are shoveling grain into the granary and
filling the corn-cribs, the duty of
chambermaid 10 cattle" would not be
SO irksome. A feeling of this sort goes
a long way toward making the care of
stock more attractive. The man who is
neglectful of these home resources,
thinking to buy artificial manures to
exc out the scanty supply, is like the
improvement merchant who depends on
understanding to keep up his credit; and
yet this is precisely the course pursued
by thousand of farmers. To such an ex-
tent has this thriftless system been
carried, that the manufacture and sale
OF commercial manures have doubled
within few years. Farmers are paying
annually hundreds of thousands of dol
lars for something to stimulate the soil
into productiveness, instead of making
and saving the organic food the land re-
quires. How long can this exhaustion
and stimulation go on without ruin to
soil and depletion of income? How long
can man live on alcohol alone? How
long can farm produce paying crops if
the grain and hay are sold? 1t is said
that every steamer that goes abroad
floats a farm; i. e., the grain it trans
ports is equal to a farm. This system of
depletion has been going on until the
abandoned fields OF the South have
lapsed into wilderness, and the home
steads of New England are tumDling to
decay. Artificial fertilizers will not
save the old farms nor perpetuate the
new ones. Vegetation gathered from
the pastures and grain from the harvests
must be returned from whence they
come. Supply and demand, inevitable
laws in trade, reversed are equally
inevitable in nature. If the grain bins
are to continue full, the stables must
also be filled. 1t is easier to sell the
grain, have empty stalls, and buy guano
con time" bnt it is like selling the
body and retaining the nerves. Keep
the body strong, and the nerves will
take care of themselves; starve the body
and stimulate the nerves, and man
hoods strength becomes fee bleness. Thus
it will be when artificial manures are
depended on to keep up fertility and
produce crops. They will suffice to
stimulate a well-fed field, and to supply
some partial lack, but of them as basis
and dependence, farmers beware! Fill
up the stables, and let the hay and grain
add to the manure pile and the profits
by feeding them out on the farm, and SO
the animal become an effective aid and
not burden.

Another Blunder.

a bill has passed several read
ings in the Legislature requiring
fire Insurance Companies to pay
the face of their policies wleth-
er the property burned was worth
the money or not. Without dis
cussing this fully at length it is
the highest reward for arson ev-
er before offered. 1t will be a
common thing for whole blocks
of houses to be burned up, and
those uninsured will be burned
up Just as the insured. 1t will
drive out of the State the good
companies, or if any should stay,
they will be compelled to employ
experts to make exact estimates
of the value of buildings to be
and that will cost the
people as much or more than
their premiums, for of course,
the companies will charge their
customers this extra cost. The
Legislature seems to have a ge-
MUS for laundering. A large
number of them ought to be
bored for the simples. Kelley,

Baptism Extraordinary.
Remarkable Experience of an In-
valid Lady.

READING, PA baptism
ceremony was performed at Pal
myra, yesterday, which causes
considerable excitement in the
ncighborhood. The particulars
are as follows: Mrs. Martin Bow
man, an invalid, aged 90 years,
and unable TO wal was taken
to Spring Creek, and there bap-
tized according to tho rites of
the German Baptist Church, of
which she was a member. The
mode Of baptism is to immerse
three times and notwithstanding
the extremely delicate condition
of the woman, the ceremony
was gone through with. Being
unable to walk from weakness,
Mis-. Bowman was placed OH a
chair and carried into the stream
by Rev. IIertzlc and an attend
ant, after which She was plunged
under the icy-cold water three
times. When brought mp from
the third plunge the pallid coun-
tenancc and limpid form of the
woman denoted death. When
brought out of the water her
husband and children, surprising
her to be dead, were overcome
with emotion, and gave vent TO
their anguish in tears. The sup
posed corpse wastaken, wrapped
in blankets, to the house of a
neighbour, where hot bricks and
irons were applied to her feet
and stimulants administered, and
after much exertion she was
brought 10 consciousness. Her
first words on recovering TO con-
seriousness were: God, am /
with you? | am so cold, so
cold" 1t was some time before
the ice in her hair was thawed
out. just before she revived,
she says, she could hear her
friends around her, but was un-
able 10 speak or move. Several
other parties who were to be
baptized have concluded to wait
until warmer weather. Up 10
this afternoon the woman was
improving rapidly.
