i hear them not the world has held mine ear
With this insistant sounds, too long, too long
The football and the sweeping robes of Spring
How, once, / haed them as llie's full Delight
Now, little moved hear the blackbrd sing.
AS blind men wake not Mt the sudden light.
Nay, not unmoved But yesterve stood
Beneath thee throne,L queen songstress in

And for one moment heaven was that green
wood,
And the old dreams went by, too deep for

One momcnt-it was passed; the gusty breeze
brought laughter aud rough voices from the

Night, like q mist, clothed round the darkcn-

And was in the world that lnoclSs again.

SUGAR BEETS.
Some Advice on Their Culfure-SOiI
and MNuuriur

The current number of the Practical
Farmer has the following on sugar beets
The question is often asked, What is
the best soil for sugar beets We am
swer in brief. Clay soils are not suita-
bic to the production of the greatest
amount OF sugar, nor is soil that is
largely organic, though enriched to the
highest degree.
To ensure n good crop of sugar beets
with the highest percentage of sugar,
the great thing to be aimed at, the soil
should be deep sandy loan, either
permeable by nature or made so by
drainage. The land should be covered
with rs to 50 tons of suitable manure in
the fall, and turned under from 10 to II
inches deep. If this is done Immediately
after wheat seeding in the fall, the ter
mentation will begin and the soil become
impregnated with the escaping ammonia
and carbonic acid, while the other ele-
ments of the manure will, by spring, he
in readily soluble condition for the
growing beet.
In the spring the soil should be first
narrowed, then cultivated, then ridged
up with small pillow so that the fur
rows shall just meet, leaving Nat sur
face six or eighth inches wide on tine top
of the ridge; then combed with harrow
made of one piece of scantling, with teeth
or small spikes three inches apart and
three inches long. The scantlng need
not be heavy and only long enough to
comb two rows at time, the horse walk
ing between them.
The ground should lie long enough
after this combing, for the weeds to come
up. Then colsb again and mark out by
inserting two cultivator teeth in the
comb, so as to cut u trench in the centre
OF each ridge two inches deep. Now set
your seed drill SO that it will distribute
the seeds mixed with the fertilizer as
thickly as desired.
You can test this by running it, after
it is charged, over board or clean floor.
-Four inches apart is quite close enough
for plants to stand after being thinned
We mention this now that those who
have 1T i'll mind to grow sugar beets for
the factory may have time to prepare the
soil. The preparation OF the soil for mex t
years beet crop must he attended to
early this fall II remunerative crop is to
be expected the first year.
1t is far better to start right, than
wrong. There is money in raising sugar
beets wherever there is market for
them, if they are so cultivated as to con
tain large percentage of sugar. AS the
price varies with the percentages, from
$3.50 to $500 per ton. From five to .
tons may be grown to the acre where the
ground is well prepared the fall before,
and attended to after planting.

In the year 1870 lady sent So 900 to
the Treasury as subscription to the
per cent bonds. The envelope OF the let
her was destroyed before it was discovered
that the lender of the money had not
given her address. Her address could
not be ascertained, and nothing more was
heard from her. The money was invested
in the bonds as requested and kept in the
Treasury. Seven years after a letter was
received one day from lady stating that
she had sent some time before S., 900 to he
invested in bonds, but she had never
received any interest She requested
that If interest was not paid on the bonds
she would like to have the money re-
funded. So many years elapsed that the
official to whom the letter came was
unacquainted with the circumstances,
and concluded that it was another crazy
letter. II, however, happened to come to
the notice of an official who remembered
the circumstances. a search was made.
and the bonds were found filed away with
the quarterly interest checks, which
amounted to $3.50. Tile bonds and
checks We're forwarded to the lady, who
had waited seven years before evinoing
amy interest in the safety of her

And sincss thought, by these eternal laws
Controlled, whose being Heaven alone did

Nor have they drawn their birth
From mortal sires of earth,

Ne'er shall Oblivion tame
Their wakeful spirit mighty is the power
of God in these, nor knows the enfeebline

From full blown pride the tyrant springs,
Pride when It's Toasted Over-much On things
Tireless and unmcet tn iopmost hight

Prepared for stumbling mortals by dark fate

THE STORMS DESTRU CTIOY.


81. Louis, June Additional partic-
ulars Of the tornado in Kansas night be-
fore last are that the storm extended into
Lyon county and did great damage to
crops, buildings, fences, &c., all over that
part of the country. The town of Ameri-
Gus, near Emporia, is almost entirely de-
stroyed, every building in it being more
or less damaged. The United presby-
terrain Church was literally torn to
pieces, and the Methodist Church was
blown from its foundation and almost
totally destroyed.
Several houses in Emporia were blown
down and fences and other property
seriously injured. The north and east
additions to the state Normal School were
unroofed and the walls partly torn down.
fhey,were just ready for harvest, and
other crops everywhere in the track OF
the storm were either blown away or
beaten into the ground by the hail, an
immense quantity of which fell during
the storm.
ThE STORM An OTHER POINTS.
NJ. Louis, June ll.-Southwest Mis-
sOuri seems to have been visited by the
same storm that ravaged parts of Kansas
night before last. The wind was not
severe, but immense hail stones fell over
n large area of country and did great
damage to crops and window glass.
A water spout broke in little valley
in Barry county, in which is situated the
town of Seven Star Spring, and before the
people could reach the surrounding hills
torrent of water rushed down, taking
with it houses, trees, household goods
and animals belonging to those living
near the spring.
Three women, Il man, and seven small
children were swept away by the flood,
but fortunately they all lodged in bushes
and Were rescued some hours later.
