APRIL JESTING.

/ heard two robins singing in the wood
One April day,
Aud what they said my heart well understood
That April day:
"Oh love is sweet through all the busy daytime;
Oh love is true in Winter and in May-timeW
But then YOU know the hour was FOlly's play-time-
Twas April day.
And I. to keep in tune the merry birds
That April day, -
Sang with them thoughtlessly some foolish words
Twas April day:
"My love Is falr could not help but choose him;
NV love IL GOOD, could not bear to lose bimj
Nv love is wise oh I what could refuse him

"Yet should he hear me sing, lot him beware
'lis April day;
'fis April day
Tho token that he sends-oh, yes, kiss IL;
And if lie sends it not, sorely miss II:
Bnt promise song or kiss, now pray what is it
On April dayp
Singing and laughing through the wood came
That April day,
Until clear. strong voice sang back again;
"Oh, April dayi
This girl of smiles aud tears, this little rover,
With Dleasant testing does her heart discover.
Thy mirth is wisdom; her happy lover;
Thou. April-May"
He clasped my hand, and through the wood We went
That April day.
Singing like robins in our glad content
That April day.
O golden sunshine and D silver raining!

Two happy hearts stood watching daylights waning

foot, with only his sword, stood facing that
alive; he wished to die Il he could not escape.
The fight-Eppelein's last fight-began.
This man, alone amongst that crowd OF enc.
mics, did prodigies OF yalor: He is SAID TO have
killed or Inortally wounded twenty OF nls foes,
but the fight was fight of utter desperation
he fought, not for life, but for death, and the
odds against him were TOO terrible. He was
borne down, seized and bound, aud carried away
to Neumarkt.
In the fight Eppelein had cloven Jacklein
through the skull The fanatic Of revenge per-
ished by the sword of the master he had be-
trayed:
lent end The Raubritter were condemned TO
die and on q fair summer morning, Eppeleln
and the two Bernheimers stood upon the high
scaffOld in the market place of Neumarkt. An
enormous crowd raised upturned faces to the
lofty platform. Nurnberg was defrauded OF its
show, and Neumarkt rejoiced in the horrible
spectacle. :,
The Bernheimers perished first, by the shear
ing sweep of the headsman's broad blade, and
then Eppelein was broken alive on or by the
wheel. He refused the services OF priest. In
his day of pride and power he had always been
wont to say that a man should live as Q Tree
and mighty hero, and should die without fear
He had la6ored to live up to his theorem OF life,
and he certainly bore his death OF slow agony
with the calmest courage.
When the head was gone the members were
no longer dangerous. Wolf Won Wurmstein1
succeeded to the command, but the dreaded
band, which. Eppelein had led so long and SO
successfully, soon melted away. Some persisted
by the sword of the fOeman, others by the
sword of the headsman. Many disappeared,
and the highways of Franconia were freed from
the terror of the great robber band.
So ended the wild life of the chivalrous crimi-
nal. of the most renowned robber-knight, Ep-
pelein Won Gaiingen.-

Farm Manures.


No better method can be practiced
than to draw out all manure, whether
fresh or otherwise, between the LIST of
October and the LIST of March, and
spread it directly from the wagon or
sled upon the ground. whether it be
plowed or unplowed. There might be
slight danger of waste by washing
where the manure was spread ON steep
hill-sides or upon an unusually deep
fall of snow; but this waste is much less
in practice than in theory and need
scarcely be avoided in most cases. In
my experience, manure of the same
quantity and quality, spread on the soil
in November, has given twenty per
cent. better yield of corn than the same
amount spread on Immediately before
blowing in the spring. My reasons
for winter manuring are several: The
manure has to be handled but once.
and that at time when work is not
pressing aud time therefore not so val
liable, and when the fields are not wet
as in spring. The chief difficulty in
spreading manure is TO make itperfect-
ly uniform 80 that the fertility of the
soil shall be uniform. By winter ma
nuring we really distribute twice as the
blowing in spring performs redistri-
button. As manure is usually kept at
least one-half, and frequently greater
proportion, is wasted by teachings and
escape Of ammonis; practically, in this
climate tho wlstage Of manure when
spread In the winter on the field is very
slight-not one-tenth of what it is when
left in the yard in . hot heap; and in
this way also Ill the teachings are

I have been reading the testimony Of
Alexis Soyer, the celebrated chef de
esisisse, concerning the effects of hard
and soft water upon food. cooked with
either. He gives the preference in all
respects to soft water, unless in the one
matter Of cooking fresh meat with a
view to making it a. white as possible.
He says that hard water seems to con
tract the pores, and s0li0ify the gluten.
90 that he believed It 10 30 impossible to
extract the true haxorof meat with
hard water. In boilil salt meat, soft
water extracts more. salt than hard
water, and makes the meat more tender.
Soft water evaporates one. third more
rapidly in boiling, andcooks every thing
in less time. he said that hard water
shrivels green's and pease, and affects
leaves, moro than sr6ots.s Potatoes
boiled In hard water are harder and
whittier than those boiled in soft water.
and more time is required for the proc
ess. In cooking dry vegetables, he
says, we must allow one-fourth7 moro
time for hard water. 4 He Had no doubt
that SIT water makes The best bread.
He said that bread made with the same
Hour and the same yeast, and by the
same bakers,is much inferior made
with hard water than when soft water
i employed. He made many expert
ments with tea, and decided that soft
water draws out the flavor of the tea
more fully and more rapidly than hard,
