History of Rlne Grass.

The success which has attended the production of POd pretensis or blue grass in the garden spot of Kentucky, has led many to conclude that blue grass was indigenous to, or had it's origin in Ken lucky. That this is not true seems evident from the fact that it was found in the Scioto bottoms before Kentucky was settled. This grass is called green grass" in Pennsylvania, and some very early settlers of Ohio from Pennsylvania may be able to give point in the history of this most valuable grass. The range in which blue grass is the most profit able grass seems to be continually widening. In some of the Eastern States, where the soil was too much inn poy erished for profitable meadows, the introduction of poa pretensis is proving it to be a most valuable acquisition. Dr. Killebrew, in his most valuable paper on grasses, says poa pretensis is the king of pasture grasses in the central basin of Tennessee. Its parentage is claimed by many States. It is claimed to he indigenous to several of the Middle States. Some writers claim it's introduc- ton from Europe, but complete history of this grass is yet wanting. About 1901, Dr. Gordon claims, two brothers intro duced blue grass into Bourbon county, Kentucky, carrying the seed all the way on a pack Lorse from the south branch oi the Potomac in Virginia. In 1885 he spent two weeks with these brothers, studying their methods of grazing, as they had grown wealthy from the profits of their blue grass pastures. They first put down 200 acres on Strode's Creek, and from this introduction and their emminent success it spread through the limestone region of Kentucky and Tennessee. A well-written history of blue grass will show how it has taken possession of the fields when properly cared for, and always paid profit of not less than $l0 per acre. The history of this grass and it's successes would lead many a farmer, who now blows his land and barely lives, seeing his lands grow poorer and his stock leaner and lighter, to cease from his hard work and make money by looking at his grass grow and

rHE FLOWN BIRD.

The maple leaves are whiried away. The depths of the great pines are stirred; Night settles on the sullen day, As in its nest the mountain bird My wandering feet go up and down, And back and forth from town Go town, Through the lone woods and by the sea, To find the bird that fled from me; I followed, and follow yet ] have forgotten to forget.
 My heart goes hack, but go on, Through summer heat and winter snow; Poor heart. we are no longer one, Hut are divided by our woe! Go to the nest built and call She may be hiding after all- The empty nest, if that remains, And leave me in the long, long rains; My sleeves with tears are always wet l have forgotten to forget. Men know my story, but nOt.me- For such fidelity they say, Exists not-such man as he Exis,s not m the world to-day! If his light bird hath flown thencSt, She is no worse than all the rest; Constant they arc nOt-only good TO bill and coo, and hatch the brood; He has but one thing to regret He has forgotten 10 forget. All day see the ravens fly. l hear the seabirds screams all night; The moon goes up and down the sky, The sun comes in with ghastly light, Leaves whirl, white flakes about me blow Are they spring blossoms or the snow Only my hair Goodbye, my heart, The tune has come for us 10 part Be still You will be happy vet For death remembers tO forget. 7ruHs'0ted from Ns J1Ddncs".

It is not common as yet to wear mourn- ing for sweetheart, but it is occasion ally done, and they tell of an uptown funeral at which two girls attended in the garb of widowhood by betroihal, thereby bringing out the unsuspected fact that the dead beau had doubled his courtship. The girls had arrayed them~ selves elaborately. One wore a costume of nuns cloth and crape, with a rather full, short skirt, finished at the bottom by a plating of crape, and above this 8 cloth plating of the same depth Sue had on her head a regular widows bon- net, entirely of orape, except the strings, which were of lustreless, eros grain ribs bon, and inside the brim was a tuching of tarleton. The other girl was iaunter in costume that was really second mourning. for 1t was made Of very dark iron-cray surah silk, trimmed with a deap plaited founce, at the edges of which were five rows of Spanish lace. The rival semi-widows' eyes were not so dimmed with tears that they could moi Hash angrily, and, altogether, the funer- al is said to have been highly interest ing.

800 Reward To a competant piano player.

This he stuck up on the music rack, and though the inscription glared at the freuuenters of the room until midnight, it failed to draw any musician from his shell.
 So the merrymaking went on; the hilarity grew apace. Men danced and sang to the squeaky fiddle and worn out guitar. as the jolly crowd within tried to drown the bowling of the storm without, Suddenly they became aware of the prepsence ofa white haired man crouch ing near the fireplace. His garments such as were leit-were wet with melt ing snow and he had a half-starved, half crazed expression. He held his thin, trembling hands toward the fire, and the light of the blazing wood made them almost transparent. He looked about him once in while, as if in search Of some one, and his presence cast such a chill over the place that gradually the sound of revelry was hushed, and It seemed that this waif of the storm had brought in with it all the gloom and coldness of warning elements.
