UNDER THE SNOW.

UNDER the snow lie sweet things out of sioht.
COUGHING like birds beneath downy breast
They cluster meath the coverlet warm and
white
And bide the winter time in hopeful rest.
There are the hyacinths, holding ivory tips
Pointed ana ready for a hint of sun;
And hooded violets, with dim, fragrant lips,
Asleep and dreaming fairy dreams each one.
There Turk myriad quick and linked roots,
Coiled for spring when the ripe time is
near,
The brave chrysanthemum's pale yellow
shoots
And daifodils, the vanguard or the rear;
Tho nodding snowdrop, and the columbine;
The hardy crocus, prompt to hear aeall
Pcnsile wstaria and thick woOdbine; o
And valley lilies the sweetest of them ALL
All nnd!smayed, although the drifts are deep
All sure OF spring and strong of cheer they
lie;
And we, who see but SHOWS, we smile and
keep
The scll.same courage in the by and by.
All! the same drifts shroud other precious
things
Flowerlike faces, pallid now and chill,
Feet laid to rest after long iourneyings,
Andtair aud folded hands forever still.
All undismayed, in deep and and hushed
repose,
Waiting "A sweeter, further spring, they lie;
Ana we, whose yealning eyes see but the
SHOWS,
Shall we not trust, like them, the by and by?

What is Good Grape.Culturel


A FRIEND joyfully told us a few days
ago of his anticipations in the grape
way. He had bought a little place in
the vicinity, and had made up his mind
to have things right. His maxim was
that what was worth doing at all WIS
worth doing well, and he meant to do
it. lie had done it. He had dug out
the dirt three feet into the clay, and had
filled it in with light, rich compost,
through which the roots might push
their way in ease and comfort and live
on the fat of the land. lie had spent
considerable money in doing the job
well He intended to get only the best
vines, and felt sure such an expendi-
ture would result in magnificent grapes,
and plenty of them. He had done his
work well.
1t is strange that such course as this
should ever have been recommended by
horticultural writers, but it is fact that
they have. Grapes are now so easily
and cheaply grown-fruit often four and
five cents a pound-that we had we'll
nigh forgotten that this was the standard
advice of the books years ago. But our
friend produced it in black and white
from the pages which he had chosen as
an authority, and then we knew how it
was in the Olden time.
Now, our readers at least would know
that instead of such proceeding as this
being an evidence of doing it well for
the grape, it is simply an act of folly.
The grape root needs to be warm and
dry, but this deep well in the clay, en-
couraging the collection of water from
all around it,has just the contrary effect
The roots are damp and cool, and not
warm and dry.
Indeed, it is only of late years. when
people have given up all this expensive
foolery, that grape-culture has become a
tolerable success. Under the old plan
we had failure after failure, until we
came to believe only those varieties
which were little removed from the wild
fox or the frost grapes could be grown.
But now we have the finer kinds getting
quite common. As soon as we gave up
this deep-trenching nonsense, grape
culture-real approximations a
fresh start, and this real culture consists in
little more than planting vine in good
earth, of less depth than We would any
ordinary tree, and see that it does not
suffer for want of food. This is good
grape-culture in nutshell German

And that is the way that the change

School at Mayberry Point was brought
about; and why the pupils wear their
every day dresses, and furnish their
own music, and make the decorations
themselves for that occasion. The rea.

Living a Double Life.

THREE young men attacked Louis
Bresloff, cigar dealer of 1874 Avenue
A. One of them held him, another
struck him in the face, and the third
tore his gold watch chain and charm
from his vest. The watch remained in
his vest pocket. Then the thieves ran,
but they were pursued by Policeman
Hagen, of the Fifth Street Station, who
was attracted by Mr.. Bresloff's cries.
At Twelfth Street one of the men, at
whom Policeman Hagen was firing his
revolver, ran into hallway and he was
arrested. In the Fifth Street Station he
was identified by Mr. Bresloff as the
man who struck him in the face. He
gave the name of Thomas Hanlon. He
was tried in the General Sessions upon
an indictment charging him with rob-
berry in the first degree. In his own
defense he testified that he knew moth
ing of the robbery, being an ordinary
passer-by, and that he ran because he
feared Policeman Hagen would club
him. His sisters, three pretty and re-
fined young ladies, in deep mourning,
testified that they lived in Peekskill
until a few months ago, when they be-
came orphans. Their brother, who had
always been mode! young man, so far
as they knew, and was absent from
home for many months at time, hav-
ing employment, he said, in the city,
invited them to come to this city and
occupy rooms that he had prepared for
them in One Hundred and Eighteenth
Street. Assistant District Attorney
Bell then showed that, instead of being
a model young man, Hanlon, though his
family were not aware of it, was an ex-
convict, and that he was released few
months ago from the penitentiary. The
jury convicted Hanlon, and Judge Gill
dersleeve sentenced him yesterday to
State-prison for ten years.-NeW York
