Now that 'grass has come again.
and the cows are getting taste of
pasture, we presume that the old
fashioned butter makers who yet OBJ
ject to the artificial coloring of butter
will rejoice in the return Of the "gen-
uine dandelion tint" to their week
ly churnings. Well, we rejoice with
them, but not nearly so heartily as
We would if it were not quite posi-
BILE to have the "dandelion tint all
the year round, by the judicious and
proper use of good coloring mater
ial. We are not of those who fear to
simprove upon nature" by the exer-
else of little "art," and We have no
hesitation whatever in using and adj
yocating the use of artificial color
for butter, when the dried-and
therefore artificial-food of winter
robs II OF its "naturaln June tint.
|Of course, there are Objectionable
|coloring materials, and some of those
(which are least so, grated carrots, for
instance, are troublesome to use.
Our own preference is for the "Per-
Eectcd Butter Color" of Wells, Rich
|Rrdson Il CO., Burlington, Vt. It is
|pnre, odorless and tasteless, very
Ehcap, and very effective, giving win
Eer butter, made from cornstalks, and
naturally very white and ''lardy" in
appearance, the fine, rich, golden col
br Of first quality June butter. We
zIse IL ourselves, and commend its
|Isc to others.

In THE third and fourth weeks
of last month we narrowed about
fifty acres of wheat thoroughly, SOW
ing the cloverseed by hand, immedi-
ately behind the harrow. We be-
lieve it would be better and cheaper
to have some implement constructed
especially, working between the drill
rows of wheat, and sowing the seed
at the same time, but having nothing
of this kind we used the means at
hand. One of our harrows was
large, heavy one, with sharp teeth,
and gave the ground n pretty effect
ual scratching. The other was n
Thomas smoothing harrow, heavily
weighted with chains, and on account
of its round teeth, the work was not
quite so effective. Last years ex.
pertinent of the same sort was entire
ly satisfactory, resulting in a mark
ed increase in the wheat crop and a
splendid "catch" of clover. IF this
should do as well, we shall be fully
established in the practice.

tinguishod himself by his bravery
After the capture Of the Emperor Louis
Napoleon at Sedan, Colonel Bonaparte
escorted the Empress Eugenie through
France and returned TO Paris in time
to take part in the seige. At the close
Of the war ho came back to the United
States and in 1871 he married Caroline
lie Roy Appleton, granddaughter Of
Daniel Webster He was at the bed
side OF his venerable grandmother at
the time of her death.
Madame Bonaparto was very rich.
She inherited large property and
made money by successful speculations,
For years she has lived in retirement
in Baltimore, seeing very little compa-
ny, but enjoying the warm regard
and high respect Of the small circle
which was admitted TO her friendship.
1t is said that for forty years she kept
diary, in which she recorded her
views Of American and European So
ciety. A Boston publishing house at
one time is said to have offered her ten
thousand dollars for the manuscript
volumes, but she refused the offer, pre-.
ferring that they should not be pub
lished until after her death.

ABRAHAM's JEwEL.-Foiney's Prog
resS, in attempting TO show up the wis
dom and zeal of Custom House Off
GERS, relates the following Biblical
piece, which tells the value in which
pearls were held in the early ages, on
ly one object in nature being thought
to be placed above them "On ap
preaching Egypt, Abraham locked
Sarah IN chest that none might be-
hold her dangerous beauty. But when
he was come to the place of paying
customs the collector said, Pay us the
custom; and he said, | will. pay the
custom They said to him, Thou car
riest clothes and he said, Il will pay
for clothes They said to him, Thou
earliest gold and he answered, Il will
pay for my gold On this they fur
ther said to him, Surely, it must be
the finest silk = he replied, Il will pay
the custom for the finest silk Then
said they, Surely, it must be pearls
that thou takest with thee; and he
only answered, Il will pay for pearls.
Seeing that they could name nothing
of value for which the patriarch was
not willing to pay custom, they said
1T cannot be-but open thou the box,
and let us see what is within So they
opened the box, and the whole land Of
Egypt was illumined by the lustre Of
Sarah's beauty--far exceeding even
that of pearls.

Her bright blue eyes were upward turne(
And with heavenly lustre shone.
knew the hour was almest here
When Christ would claim His own,
And in his tender bosom bear
Her to His Fathers throne.
She fingered still-swcet sufferer
None could the reason tell;
Perhaps her fathers face to see,
And look her last farewell.
No father bent above her brow,
To claim the parting kiss,
But friends that loved her far more dear,
Then elasped her to their breast.
The fatal hour--it came at last,
The moment she must die,
Her mother clung to her dear child,
And not cheek was dry.
Her gray haired Grandpa knelt beside,
Her hands in his to hold,
As II he could not give her up,
Or let those hands grow cold.
Her uncles, aunts, and friends she loved,
Now kissed her lips Of clay,
But stella's spirit long ere this,
To heaven had winged its way.
Such sobs Of anguish there heard,
And tears like falling rain,
l never heard in all my life,
never wish to hear again.
oh stop, and think your siella's now
Who're sorrows never come,
Temptations mere can blight her youth,
She's happy round the throne.
Would you not spare that darling child
The anguish and the woe
That rent your heart In twainy
Then, Lizzie, let her go.
Now hush each murmur, dry each tear,
She's calling you away
To join her in that better land,
Live for that happy day.
And when you near the heavenly shore,
-FOUR worldly cares all done,
Methinks your babe will shout for joy,
My Libble's coming home.
No heartless one can ere betray
That darling, saint-like child,
She walks with Christ in spotless white,
SO pure and undefed.
Although no father loved her here,
A crown to her was given,
She has q Father, Lizzie dear,
That loves hor-up in heaven.
She'll sing for us on earth no more,
But list that music sweet,
Your Stella strikes her harp Of gold,
Sitting at Jesus feet.
And while she sings her sweetest song.
Angels in wonder stand,
Then try to meet your Stella dear,
Up in that better land.

The house was crowded TO its ut
most capacity at the opening Of the
evening session. Rev VIM. NJ Burch-
field offered prayer and the President
appointed certain committees. The
choir rendered some choice music.
On the taking up of the regular even.
ing programme, Rev. Burchfield was
introduced, and delivered an able lee
ture on the Responsibilities OF the
Teacher His lecture was somewhat
different from the ordinary educational
lecturos-teeming with beautiful word
pictures and illustrations that were
sparkling and vivid throughout max.
ingit both entertaining and instructive.
NJ. Il. McQuown followed with an
address upon "a Few characteristics
of Pennsylvania Schools" He went
back TO the time of VIM. Penn, and
claimed that in his charter could be
found the germ of our present system
of instruction, drawing many illustra,
tions from history, and showing the
premium that great men of all ages
placed upon true education. He clos.
cd with an appeal to those who named
the name of teacher, insisting on greater
diligence, loyal TO duty, and TO exhibit
to the world an exemplary life.
Capt. l.. b. Carlisle spoke briefly
upon the dignity Of the teachers work
and the success OF the educational re.
union, and very courtecusly excused
himself from making an extended ad
dress. A number of recitations were
made by pupils Of the Luthersburg
school.

hope the good results OF this reunion

AUGUSTA, Ca, Oct. ia special to
the "Chronicle," from Sparta, states
that the accounts of the deeds of outlaws
in the eastern portion af Baldwin coun-
ty are greatly exaggerated, but the truth
reveals sad state of affairs. There are
about a dozen men in the band, and the
trouble is personal, not political. The
outlaws have committed Outrages on
several persons. They bruned the bin
and cotton houses and fodder stacks Of
DR.. Robson, for the purpose Of drawing
him out of his house in order to shoot
him. They killed negro man for re-
porting them to the grand jury of Bald
win county. They burned the tannery
and barns Of Lake Robson. They
whipped a colored woman and her
daughter in Hancock county. The
gang has taken refuge in the swamps of
Oconee and Ogechee. The grand jury
of Hancock, now in session, has investi-
gated the outrages, and it has determin-
ed to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The people Of Hancock county are
aroused and indignant at the outrages,
and express a determination not only
to protect white and black from further
outrage, but to inlict summary justice
on the perpetrators. Judge Pottle,
Presiding Judge, will vindicate the ma
esty OF the law throughout his circuit.
