Poetry.
The Old Brown School House

IL stood on . bleak country corner,
The houses were distant and few,
A meadow lay back In the distance,
Beyond roee the hills 10 our view,
The roads crossing there At right angles,
UntrAyersed by pomp and array,
We're cropped by the cows In the summer;
I've watched them there many day.
In memory's hall hangs the picture,
And years Of sad care are between;
II hangs with a beautiful gliding
And well do love Il, ween.
IL stood on a bleak country corner,
But boyhood's young heart made II warmi
II glowed In the sunshine Of summer,
Twas cheerful In winter and storm.
The teacher. O well remember,
Ny heart has long kept him place;
Perhaps by the world he's forgotten,
His memory no touch can eface.
He met ua with smiles on the threshold,
And in that rude temple OF art
He left, with the skill ofa workman,
His touch on the mind and the heart.
oh, gay were the sports Of the noontide.
When winter winds frolicked with snow
We laughed at the freaks OF the storm king,
And shouted him ON all aglOw.
We dashed at his beautiful sculpture,
Regardless of all Its array,
We plunged in the feathery snOwdrifts,
And sported the winter AWAY. =
We sat on the Old-fashioned benches,
BeguiIed with our pencil and slate;
We thought of the opening future,
And dreamed Of our manhOods estate.
o, days of my boyhood, bless ye,
While looking from life's busy prime,
The treasures are lingering with me,
gathered in life's early time.
O, still that bleak country corner,
Turns my heart in wcariness yet;
Where leading my gentle young sisters,
With youthful companions met
| cast fond glance DER the meadow,
The hills just behind 1t see,-
Away In the charm Of the distance,
Old school house! blessing on thee.

SUN FLOWERS.

Plant few sun flowers if you have
any poultry. They may be sown at any
time after the 10th of May. The mani
moth Russian is the largest and most
productive variety. A single flower will
produce large quantity of seed. AL.
though it we'll repays care it may be
grown along fencees, where other plants
are not easily cultivated. Leave one
stalk on hill. The seeds are excellent
for stocks as well as for poultry, the
leaves may be fed green to cattle and the
dry stalks will serve to light the kitchen
fire.

SOWING SEEDS.

In sowing grass and vegetable seeds
remember Mr.. Peter Henderson's eau
ton about 'tirming the ground By
pressing the roots about the soil they
germinate quicker and the young roots
more readily take firm hold upon the
soil. The neglect of this process may
cause the loss of the crop if the season
should prove dry.

GUINEA HENS,

A New Jersey farmer writes: "On the
10th of April, 1879, bought five Guinea
hens and one male, and fed them on
cracked corn until the 9th of May, when
they commenced laying eggs to the
amount of 300, and then Matched and
brought out so young ones. They cost
nothing to raise until snow covers the
ground, as they live on insects and seeds
from weeds. think, with my expert
ence, fifty Guinea hens on hundred
acre farm would keep the farmers in
sect enemies away; besides, with proper
care, he would secure over three thous-
sand eggs. He could allow few to
breed so as to keep up the supply"

WATERING PEAR TREES.

A correspondent Of the american Cul-
tiuator says that pear trees need a great
deal of water. He has watered some of
the pear trees in his garden with liquid
manure every day this summer and fall
and 1t is surprising to see how the fruit
has increased in size and quality. Prob
ably the increased size and quality may be
accounted for by the fact that the liquid
used was not merely water, but also a
| fertilizer.

WATER.

A correspondent of the Ploughman, in

with water in which beans have been

EGG SHELLS FOR HENS.

Some contend, says an exchange, that
if egg shells are given to hens it teaches
them to eat their eggs. We have made
a pratice for many years past of feeding
all our egg shells to our hens broken up
moderately fine by the ha nd and thrown
out to them twice or three times week.
During this time we have never lost an
egg by hen eating. In addition to giving
our hens the shells, we invariably add
any that get broken in picking them up.
In them they get the yolk and white and
vet these have not taught them to break
an egg themselves for the purpose Of
eating it. In the.London Lire Stock
Journal a correspondent writes he has
followed the practice of given egg shells
to bis hens for fifteen years and not a
single one of his flock has made an egg
eater; on the contrary, it was surelpre-
ventive, as the shell gave them all they
craved for to assist in forming eggs.

RADISHES.

Radishes must be grown quickly or
they will be very tough, stringy or bitter.
If forced by daily sprinkling OF liquid
manure they will be very brittle and

LIMA BEENS.

The Lima bean is less grown than it
should be on account of its supposed un-
certainty, tenderness and the trouble
connected with polling. Some expert
ments of ours with the most delicious of
all beans may be of public interest. We
find by trial that polling is not only un-
necessary, but decidedly disadvantage.
When the tendrils begin to start up nip
them off. Two or three times after this
we go over the vines clipping of the
climbing tendrills. The plants become
low and bushy and loaded with early
maturing pods.

Chinese Pirates.

The towns contain due amount of
tame cheats, but the bold hectoring
highwayman, the truculent sea-robber,
must be sought elsewhere. All along
the Blue and Yellow rivers are found
retail buccaneers, who hawk at trifing
quarry and fatten on slender profits.
These poor rogues do not aspire to a
ship OF their own; they come padding
out OF muddy creeks in the smallest of
sampans, ill-armed, ill-clad, but plenti-
fully smeared with fish oil. If manfully
confronted they fly; If grappled by
the crews of the fourth-class junks,
which they select as prizes, they slip
like so many eels through the hands
that grasp them, and their swimming
makes amends for their lax courage.
Seldom do any very sinister results fol-
low one of these attacks. If the fresh
water pirates prove victorious they are
mild conquerors, and only too eager to
be on shore again with their booty of
rice and corn, stray garments, odd frag-
ments of chain, bits of copper and brass
hastily ripped from the poop and cabins,
and perhaps the glorious trophy of q
few rattling strings of cash. The dol
lars and silver bars are generally too well
| hidden to be detected by such hurried
searchers; food rather than fortune is
the object of rare cases of remarkable
temptation, no life is attempted and no
torture resorted to. With these am
phibious petty larceny rogues the mag
istrates deal mildly, according to the
traditions of Chinese justice. Three
| hundred strokes of the bamboo may be
endured by the human frame. -Four

4 CITY in the Air.

In the lower part of the metropolis,
says New York paper, there is steadily
going on a process of reconstruction
which, with no great stretch of the i'm
agination, may be called building city
IN the air upon the old one. The build
1ngs so far overtop the old that, viewed
from the general level of the roofs, they
rise aloft like thu scattered structures
of a new town having for a foundation
the summit of the old one. When the
process OF rebuilding has gone on for
one or two decades more there will be
IN lower New York what will practically
be new city superimposed upon the
present city. The lofty buildings which
now tower far above the old average
roof level will no longer be isolated OBJ
jects, but will only be parts of continu-
GUS blocks of solid new structures, ten
OF twelve stories high. BY the aid of
the steam elevator the building space Of
the city is doubled. Rooms on the
tenth floor are rented for better prices
than could formerly be had for similar
rooms on the fourth. We need no
longer ask how the great city is to find
space for its growth. 1t has solved the
problem for itself by converting its
roof into building lots, and doubling or
trebling its area of floor space.
But now comes another question
When the population and business OF a
given area are thus doubled or trebled
now is its traffic to be carried on in
streets that can hardly now accommo-
date the professions of carts and wag-
ons that press through them from morn
ing to night? Ali the principal business
streets are already overcrowded. Block
AIDES are of daily occurrence. No one
who takes street-car on any of the
lines west Of Broadway in the busy
hours OF the day can tell at what time
he will reach his destination. Below
Canal street there are delays at almost
every block from the crowd of vehicles.
How can the capacity Of these streets be
enlarged to meet any increased demand
upon them? This problem, too, will
no doubt be solved. We must open
new avenues below the surface for the
transportation of heavy freight. We
believe the time will como when every
important thoroughfare will be tun-
neled. Railroads for freight traffic will
run through these tunnels to the depots
and wharves, and goods will be shipped
upon cars from the cellars of the stores
and warehouses, instead of being loaded
upon trucks at the street doors. The
streets will then be free for the lighter
traffic and the sidewalks unincumbered
by crates, boxes and bales. The New
York of the future will hold its head
high in the air and plant its feet deep
in the ground. The city of the present
day is i'll transition state. Who can
prophecy of its greatness and beauty q
century to come?

An Oil Flood in Wyoming.

A veritable oil flood occurred not long
ago in Sweetwater county, Wyoming
Territory. An oil company, known as
the Rocky Mountain Oil company, has
for some time been collecting into reser-
voirs oil from the wells and springs on
the land they have bought or leased. In
these reservoirs, of which they had six
or seven, were stored about three thou
sand barrels. But last spring, says the
Omaha Herald, an ice gorge formed in
the Popaiie creek, above the reservoirs.
The water poured over and into the
reservoirs, and being heavier than the
oil, displaced it wholly. The sea of oil
ran over the meadows for several miles,
blackening them as if a prairie fire had
swept over them. The farmers were of
course incensed; but it was such an
accident as the insurance companies
would have classed under the heading
"Acts of God;" and who could be
blamed +? The ice gorge was broken,
and the water pumped out; and the
reservoirs in a short time were filled to
the brim. The company believe that
their oil interest is larger than that of
the whole State of Pennsylvania, and
far easier developed. The resident of
the company guarantees that they can
produce fifty thousand barrels per day
when they require it. The oil, it is
stated, is very superior in quality. The
Union Pacific railroad is using it in its
crude state for lubricating its engines.
The company expects not long hence to
furnish oil for all the country west of
the Missouri.

Cheap Fertilizers.

Nearly every farmer goes to the near
est village to trade, visit mechanic or
obtain his letters and papers, at least
once week. He often takes load to
market, but he rarely brings one home.
He can, with very little trouble, haul a
load of material that may be obtained
for nothing, and which will be of great
benefit to his land. Most village peo-
pie make no use of the eshes produced
in their stoves or of the bones taken
from the meat they consume. Scarcely
any brewer has any use for the hops
4hat have been boiled in his vats, and
the blacksmith hardly ever saves the
clippings he takes from the feet of
horses. All these materials make ex-

cut from the hoofs of horses contains
more ammonia than is contained in a
DAD of stable manure. Applied to
Hand, without preparation, they might
give no immediate results, but they
would become decomposed in time and
crops of all kinds would derive benefit
from them. They may be so treated
that they would produce immediate re-
suits. By covering them with fresh
horse manure they will decompose very
rapidly. They may also be leached in
a barrel and the water that covered

Deaths by Lightning.

Reports OF death by lightning during
the recent heavy storms are rapidly
coming in, and it will be interesting to
our readers to know that after all there
is not much in the old saying, when a
man is very unlikely to have any par
ticular thing happen to him, that his
chances of meeting it are about as good
as his chance of being struck by light
ming. According to the last published
census of the United States (that of
1870), lightning alone disposed of more
of our fellow-citizens in that year than
came to their death through yellow
fever, gout, scurvy, hydropho obia-o Of

0nr possessions at DriftMood Point.

There is point in the geography of
the United States that is not generally
known, and that is Driftwood Point.
Driftwood Point is part of little piece
of land owned by these United States
that lies peculiarly situated. This piece
of land is the only portion of this
country, except Alaska, that is north of
the 49th parallel. It is impossible to
reach it by land without going through
British Territory. It is part of Pembina
county, Mimi, and it borders on the
northwest shore of the Lake of the
Woods. It was especially retained by
this country when we and Cousin Johnny
had the settlement over our family
quarrel, as resting-place for the
American eagle on her flight to the North
Pole.

Wilmington Dol) Daily Republican,

Mrs. Adam Grubb, 231 Walnut street,
has been great sufferer for number
of years from extreme pain in the feet,
something like rheumatism. She was
also very much troubled with corns and
bunions. 1t was with great difficulty
that she could walk, and sometimes
when she would visit her husbands
shoe store or any of her children, she
could not get home again without as
sistance, and often when she was walk
ing along the streets she would be
seized with such acute pain that she
was compelled to stop in at the neigh
bors on the way until she got better.
Some two weeks ago she heard of the
wonderful cures ST. Jacobs Oil was
effecting, and she at once commenced
to use it and experienced great relief
Immediately. The pains have left her
feet and ankles and the Inflammation
has left the corns and bunions. She
is now tripping up to her husbands
shoe store and ont to see her children
without experiencing any pain.
