CAMPAIGN SONG.
TO the tune Of Marching Thro' Georgia, {
By NORMAN 4. BARRETT.

Fling out the starry banner, boys the fag
we love full well,
Greet ii with the cannons roar, with bugle
drum and bell
Cheer it as we used to cheer mid screaming
shot and shell
While We were fighting for freedom.
Chorus.
Iurnli hurrah the battle has begun,
HurTah hurrah in scrried ranks we come
Cheering on our comrades as we cheered in
81.
While We were fighting for freedom.
Let the traitors tremble when they hear our
roaring cheers,
Vain are all their falsehoods black, their
curses, and their sneers;
Healed are our divisions now, and gone our
idle fears,
While We are fighting for freedom.
(Chorus
Let or southern Union men exult with
lftA VA AaANNAN-
Vain are tissue ballots now buildozins
threats and jeers;
Bright above our loyal ranks the starry flag
appears
While we are fighting for freedom.
(Chorus.)
Cheer for James \. Garfield, boys oar ma
tons pride and boast,
Gallant soldier, statesman wise, grand leader
of our hosts.
Haacock's hopes are fading fast, and soon
they will be ghosts
While we are fighting for freedom.
Chorus.
Hurrahi hurTah the battle has begun,
Hurrahl hurrah in serried ranks We come,
Cheering on our comrades As we did in 81,
While we were fighting for fr cedom.

Preservation of Harness.

The first point to be observed is to keen
the leather soft and plable; this can be done
only by keeping it well charged with oil and
grease; water is n destroyer of these, hut
mud and saline moisture from the animal are
even more destructive. Mud, in driving,
absorbs the grease and opens the pores of the
leather, making it a ready prey to water,
while the salty character of the perspration
from the animal Injuries the leather, stitching
and mountings. 1t therefore follows that to
preserve harness the straps should be wash
ed and oiled whenever it las been moistened
by sweat or soiled by mud To do this cffec-
tually, the straps all should be unbucklcd and
detached, then washed with a little water
and brown soap, then coated with a mixture
of neatsfoot oil and be allowed to remain un-
disturbed until the water is dried out then
thoroughly rub with wooden rag the rub
bling is important as it in addition to remov-
ing the surplus oil and grease, tends to close
the pores and gives finish to the leather
In hanging harness care should be taken to
allow all straps to hang their full length
brides, pads, gig saddles and collars should
be hung upon forms of the shape of each -
Light is essential to the care of leather and
when the harness closet is dark the door
should be left open at least half the time
during the day All closets should be ven.
tilated, and when possible they should be
well lighted. To clean plated mountings
use a chamois with little trip oil or rotten
stone, but they should be secured as little as
possible Rubber-covercd goods are cleansed
i'll the same way. Leather-covered needs to be
well brushed and rubbed with woolen rag.
If harness is thoroughly cleaned twice a
year, and, when unduly exposed, treated as
we have recommended, the leather will retain
its softness and strength for many years.

Something a Farmer Should Know.

AS general thing the farmer is liable for
all the public injury his hired man may cause
while actually employed by him. Ifhe sends
him into u lot to burn old brush, and he, for
any purpose whatever, leaves it and it runs
into his neighbours lot, destroying his fence
and Injuries his crops, the farmer is liable
for the damages caused by the wanton neg
lect of his man. If he sends hired man on
the road with team, and he by negligence
runs into another vehicle and Injuries it, or
the PERSONS who may be in it, the farmer is
Liable for the damages; but should the hired
man leave the road he was directed to go and
travel another road for his own pleasure and
profit then the farmer is not liable for the
damages should any accident occur. If a
hired man, in going to or from the lot with q
scythe, and by its careless handling or carry
ing he injuring passer-hy, the farmer is
liable for the damages If in cutting wood
the hired man cuts down tree in another
| lot, the owner is liable for trespass and
damages, although he distinctly showed him
the boundry, and though the man may have
cut the tree with malicious intent. Should
| the hired man, from righteousness, run into
q team, even If it block his way, yet the far
mer must pay the damage, though done con-
| trary TO his positive orders. In all these
cases the farmer can compel the hired man
| to pay him back if he have anything to pay
with but this is rarely the case unless tie
farmer keeps back his wages and only settles
when his time expires.-Amerfcan CalticatOr

DREAM MING.

Alone in the lessening twilight
Il sit and dream old dreams;
Though passing years as they take their fiigh
Make all things dreary seem.
Yet to dream is sweet, tired ones think,
And maidens old and young
The weary ones rest, as old songs and links
Are found and newly sung.
Thus ever we dream from youth to age;
The sweet, short dream of love-
10 some it is just a title page
10 q poem now sealed above.
so golden, golden bright
That oft methinks an angels wing
Has waited glory light.
So waited on with the glory beams,
That seem falling around me fast,
Brighter cen than the dear sunbeams
We hope to hold at last!
Oh earthland dreams, so bitter sweet,
Il cannot let you sleep;
Though well we know we never meet
but signs and tears to reap.
So we dream of love, my heart and I.
OF love so pure and blest,
mat angels passing heavenward sigh
And whisper Love is rest!'
Yes, well we know, dear angels bright,
Love that is blest is rest;
To earthland iove comes cherries night.
Alas we sigh, Heaven is best
Tired, so tired and weary grown,
In dreamland, too, / sigh;
list to the winds unceasing moan
And ask-1s it sad to die?
