TWO LOVERS.

Two lovers by q moss-grown spring;
They leaned soft cheeks together there. Hl
Mingled the dark and sunny hair, ~
And heard the wooing thrushes sing,
o budding time!
0 loves bleat BRINE!
Two welded from the portal slept;
The bells made happy carrolings,
The air was soft as tanning wings.
Whilo petals on the pathway swept
Opure-eyed bride!
o tender bride!
Two faces DER cradle bent;
Two hands above the head We're locked; p
These watched life that love had sent.
Osolemn hour!
"' 0 hidden power!
Two parents by the evening fire;
The red light fell about their knees,
On heads that rose by slow degrees
Like buds upon the lily spire
Opatient life! .f
o tender strife!
The two still sat together there; ..
The red light shone about their knees
But all the heads by slow degrees
Had gone and left the lonely pair.
o voyage fast!
o vanished past!
The red light shone about the floor
And made the space between them wide
They drew their chairs up side by side,
Their pale cheeks joined, and said "Once more!'
O memories!
Opast that is!

The Care of the Ear.

From the Scientific American.
ONLY the softest materials and the gen.
TEST pressure should be used in cleaning the
ear. In a recent clinical lecture DR.. Wilson
gives, in popular form. some very useful
and practical information touching the re-
moval of ear-wax. If the ticking of a watch
can be heard at distance of % inches the
hearing is good. Each ear should be tested
by the watch separately. Noises in the head,
sometimes ringing, frequently are due to
hardened wax in the ear. Sudden deafness
is sometimes caused as follows: A small
mass of wax, from ill-health or uncleani-
ness, becomes hard. A continued secretion
of wax then blocks up the ear tube still
more, An injudicious attempt is then made
to remove the wax by introducing, perhaps,
q match end, pin head or pen holder which
instead of removing pushes down the wax
and packs it against the tympanum; or by
sudden draught or the act of swallowing
the wax is suddenly pressed upon the MEM
brane, and loss of hearing Immediately en-
sues becaus the membrane can no longer
vibrate. The removal of the wax is in some
cases, especially those of longer standing,
somewhat difficult; but with gentle treat
ment and patience may be finally accomp-
lished and the hearing fully restored. The
best ordinary means for removing wax, when
not badly compacted, are half drachm Of
sodium carbonate dissolved in an ounce of
water, applied lightly, by means of bit of
absorbent cotton or sponge attached to q
suitable handle. When the wax is much
compacted it may be softened by means Of
water, quite warm, and a syringe.

Gen. w. T. Sherman in Kittle Of Hot Water
His Uncomfortable Position.

Gen. w. T. Sherman in Kittle Of Hot Water
His Uncomfortable Position.
From the Washington Post
Gen. w. T Sherman's relations with the
present administration and some of the
most prominent Republican leaders are ex-
tremely unpleasant He has won the ILL
will of Mr.. Hayes, and while this circum-
stance might give him favor in the estima-
ton of many Republicans, his attacks on
Gen. Grant have also incurred for him the
hatred of the ''stalwart" wing of the party.
Gen. Sheridan, too, has q grudge against
the general of the army, and McDowells
friends express for him their heartiest con-
tempt. The feeling between Mr.. Hayes
and Gen. Sherman arises from the fact that
the latter does not fully comprehend the
spirit of that clause of the constitution
which makes the executive commander-ln-
chief of the army of the United States. Mr.
Hayes has seen fit to mitigate the sentence
| imposed by court.martial in certain cases
contrary to tie opinion of Gen. Sherman,
and in the order issued by him announcing
the mandate of Mr.. Hayes, Gen. Sherman
has commented on the executive with a
degree of freedom which has incensed Mr..
Hayes, and in the opinion of many officers,
rendered the general of the army liable to a
court martial for conduct disrespectful to
his superior officers and prejudicial to dis
cipline and good order. Mr.. Hayes has fire.
quently expressed his opinion of Gen.
Sherman's conduct in any but compliment
tary terms Gen. Grant became convinced
some time ago that Gen. Sherman
had treated him in treacherous
and unbecoming manner. In his
history of the war there were many
unjust criticisms of Gen. Grant, which the
latter was charitably inclined to attribute tc
errors Of judgement or incorrect informa-
ton received by Gen. Sherman. Latterly
however, the ex-president has become con.
vinced that these criticisms were purposel!
made to detract from his military reputa
ton. Gen. Sherman was an active agent il
the securing of the Warren court of inquiry
where Gen. Grant and Gen. Sheridan wer,
each virtually placed upon trial. AS botl
of these distinguished generals were placed
in the same boat, the testimony of each wa
corroborative of the other, and Warner
stood very feeble chance of yindicatin!
himself. Since the bill to place Gen. Gran
upon the retired list of the army, with tn
rank and pay of general, was introduced
Gen. Sherman has been frequently seen a
the capitol working among his friends t.
secure the defeat of the bill. He regards
it is said, the recommendation of Mr. Haye
in his annual message to make Gen. Gran
captain general, as a direct insult to him
self, and it is probable that Mr.. Hayes il
very willing that he should cherish tina
opinion Gen. Sherman's effort to save Orr
from retirement unless Mcdowell SHOULD
also be retired, is the cause of the enmit,
of McDowell's friends

we came out in the boat together? You

Narcissus was about to reply, but at that
moment the sailor had prepared the gag,
and his mouth was stopped.

Snowman, that you should know why
you're goingto be hanged, so I'll tell you:

though, you know all about. So he's going

1t was morally and physically impossible
for Narcissus to reply; he was, therefore,
silent.
His ewes wandered over the scene. The
Sea was smooth as glass; the sky blue and
cloudless The white clothing of the
swarthy Spaniards contrasted wildly with
their brown skins. The stately ship Of war,
with the gorgeous folds of the Spanish
standard floating over her, was a pleasing
sight to gaze upon. But Narcissus needed
not all this Poetry had fed from him.
He could see but one thing---the seaman
on the yard he could think OF but one
thing the rope which was SO soon to en-.
cilcle his neck.
The doomed men were taken aboard Of

There remained only Narcissus and thu

to the yard. AS he drew up his writing

turnedaway his face.

A New Romeo and Juliet.

Contemporary Review. 5..-.. ....
The Italian papers of November last re-
port tragedy that was recently enacted in
Rome somewhat similar to that of Romeo
and Juliet, but in low life, in which two
suicides resulted from inordinate grief.
Moretti, tailor by trade, was sent to pris-
on on charge of fraud. His sweetheart
called upon the police officer to ask how
long Moretti was likely to be confined.
Urged thereto by the girls mother, who did
not favor the match, the police officer re-
piled that in all probability Moretti would
be imprisoned for many years: Over,
whelmed with grief and driven thereby to
dispair the poor girl put an end to herself
by poison. A few days after Moretti was
discharged from custody, the accusation
made against him having been proved false.
He returned home to find his affianced
bride corpse, Frensied at the sight he,
too, destroyed himself The lie worked
out q double tragedy

HOUSE AND FARM.
Brief Hints Tor the Farm.


Professor I. p. Roberts, of Cornell Uni
versity, thinks COWS require very little exer-
else, but much air. He pointed out the
effects Of unventilated stables in Easements
and tight barns, and gave numerous instan-
ces of death from Tuberculosis which had
come under his own observation. Stables
are generally not sufficiently roomy. A COW
should have six times as much air space as
man, and the air nit should be steadily
renewed without perceptible currents.
Peaceful, happy America, hada surplus
of 100 million bushels of wheat to sell of
the harvest Of 1880. Russia had an excess
of but 80 millions, while Great Britain,
France, Germany, Holland, and Belgium,
were 1877 million bushels short. d.

A correspondent in recent issue of The
Country Gentleman, in speaking of mixed
farming says: The more see of mixed
farming, the more I become convinced of
its advantages over special systems of cul-
ture, where either may be employed to the
best advantage. The one-crop system has
serious risks to run on account of the varia-
tons of the seasons and the markets.
1t is a pleasure to produce large crops
1t adds to farmers happiness to have his
crops spoken Of as the best in the section
of country where he lives. Large crops ado
to the reputation of the person who pro-
duces them, and to the value of the farm i
it is ever offered for sale. Small crops, OF
the contrary, are sources of modification
They give the impression that the raiser OF
them does not understand his business
and injure the value of the farm on whicl
they are produced Considering the rich
ness of the soil in the western states, tn
yield of cultivated crops is not what
should be, and q persistent effort shout
be made to increase it.

Some linseed cake, meal or bran in thei
feed will do no harm, but more exciting foo
should be avoided. A roomy stall or loos

Crib-biting.

Crib biting is often habit, but may be
caused by disease. Indigestion occasions
constant irritation and uneasiness, which
may compel the horse to take hold with the
teeth and stretch the neck as means OF
relief. From this grows the habit of crib
biting and wind-sucking, which ceases when
the cause is removed. AS remedy, give
the horse in his feed daily, fora few weeks,
one drachm of copperas and half an ounce
of ground ginger, and feed him upon cut
feed, with crushed or ground grain, and an
ounce Of salt in each feed.

Wiutarinr Bees.

There is probably more valuable expert
ence in bee excepting, in Michigan, than in any
other State; and Prof A.. J. Cook. of the
Michigan Agricultural College, says: Bee
keepers in the Northern States have quite
generally discarded houses built above
ground for the purpose of wintering bees.
It is found that to winter successfully,
especially indoors, the temperature must
be kept nearly uniform at about 40 degrees
F. Ina house above ground this is found
to be difficult. IF the walls are not very
thick, the house becomes too cold at times,
unless great number of colonies are kept
in it, in which case there is great danger Of
the house becoming too warm, especially
in times of high temperature. Hence near
lly all of our most successful beekeepers
now practice celler wintering in which,
through the influence of the earth, espe-
cially if sub earth ventilators are construct
ed, the temperature is quite easily con-
trolled. Mrs. L. B. Baker, of Lansing,
Mich, has practiced this method through
out her very successful experience, and has
never lost single colony. Others prefer
outdoor wintering, in which the bees are
kept either in so-called chaff hive, which
has double wallis from four to eight inches
apart, with the intervening space filed with
chat, or else the ordinary hives are sur
rounded by boards or box, and the space
between, which should be a foot wide, is
fitted with chaff or straw. In both cases
the arrangements are such that the bees
can fly whenever the weather is warm
enough to induce fight. think at the
present time the advocates Of chaff hives or
packingand cellar wintering are about equal
~ divided in the United States.

common salt. These will cause the wash
to harden and prevent its cracking. which
gives an unseemly appearance to the work.
If desirable, beautiful cream color may be
given to the above wash by adding three
pounds of yellow ochre; or good pearl by
lead, lamp, vine or ivy black. For fawn
color, add four pounds of lumber, Turkish
or American-the latter is the cheaper-one

When Narcissus recovered consciousness
he found himself lying upon the deck Of
the brig. There were irons upon his hands,
irons upon his feet. On either side of him
squatted swarthy sailor, each with a cut
lass, and each watching him with the most

metrical rows lay the comrades of the shoar-
man, all ironed and guarded. Lying new

Mothers Huckleberry Fie.
By MAUD MILLER.

How oft goes memory back 10 childhood
When picking berries on the hill,
With pail in hand I'd strip the bushes
Along With little brother Will.
What cared We for heats of summer,
With broad straw hats tipped o'ei
our eyes;
For. with those very huckleberries
Our mother made those fam Gus pies
| SEQ her now, dear cherished mother,
With apron on as white as snow,
Her plump arms bare up 10 the elbow,
And on her checks rosy glow;
seem to see her roll the pie crust,
And fill tho plates of largest size;
For well she knew how hungry children
Enjoyed her huck!eberry pies.
And father he'd come in from haying,
And stand by mother ve.y near,
And say: now, wife, in all the town
ship
None make such pies as you DO dear
Except, perhaps, NY dear old mother
Why, at the fair, you'd take the prize.
Come, children. now we'll all to dinner,
And have q feast of mothers pies
Those dinners now I well RENE mber,
Within the kitchen large and cool;
Those summer days of our vacation,
When we were free Of books and
school.
All can it be Of years full thirty?
And yet it must be how time flies
Since we sat in that farmhouse kitchen
And ate, in childhood, mothers pies.
Within our modest home is sitting
An aged lady, saintly fair;
While at her side my lad and lassie
Are looking up with earnest air.
Grandma" they say, 1--WE picked these
berries,
We meant it for q great surprise
And grandma smiles and says, my dar.

I'm not too old to make good pies"
