GROWING OLD.

Touehing thee lightly with tenderest care
Sorrow and death did they often bring nigh

Yet they have LEFT thee but beauty TO wear,
Growing old gracefully
Gracefully fair.
Far from the storms that are lsshiDg the
ocean,
Nearer each day to the pleasanthome-lisht,
Far from tho waves that are big with com

Under full sail and the harbor In sight,
Growing old cheerfully,
Cheerful aud bright.
Past all the winds that were adverse and
chilling,
Past all the islands that lured thee TO rest,
Past all the currents that wooed thee unwil-

Far from the port and the land of the blest,
Growing old peacefully,
Peaceful and blest.

When the bright faces of children are seen,
Never a year from their yontu would'st thou

Bunch Grass Failing.

Willamette Farmer 1t Is said that
the bunch grass pastures have given
out, in a great degree, and that cattle
raising is not so profitable. A new
grass comes in its place that is excel
lent tor sheep, and cattle men are sell
ing their bands of, to be driven to
Wyoming, and buying sheep. This
may not be the case everywhere, but 1t
is the case where close grazing occurs.

over otl er stock will insure that sheep
will gradually replace cattle through

Agricultural.
The Squash Borer.

Farm and Firesides Of late years it
has become extremely difficult to OBJ
tain a stand of squash and melon
vines, owing to the depredations of
the striped squash beetle and the
squash-vine borer. The first OF these
we should fight with London Purple
or Pyrethrum but for the borer, the
bisulphide of carbon will be found the
most satisfactory remedy. To apply
1t, make a small hole near the root of
the plant with a walking stick or other
instrument pour in about half a tea
spoonful of the liquid, and quickly
close the bole with the root. This liquid
Is extremely volatile, and its protective
power is partly due to this property,
as it diffuses itself through the soil
around che roots of the plant, but does
not injure the plant itself. The val or
Of bisulphide of carbon is very explo-
sive, hence extreme care must be exer
cised In handling 1t.

Of Minneapolis, is constructing a sugar
cane mill of about 10000 gallons per
season capacity. 1t has various new
improvements, and when tested this
fall will be followed by larger ones,
which will be nufactured during
the winter. There is no a why
those mills should not be made In
Minneapolis as well as in the East.
MI. Wallaee's mill he has now under

NUMBER A..
Mulching.

A member of the Oneida Commu
nifty, writing on the Importance OF
mulching fruit trees and plants Of
every kind, says that he mulched a
row Of the Frsnconia raspberry, and
also N of the Philadelphia, side by
side. The effect was very marked.
While the Franconias, which were
not mulched, were literally scorched
and the leaves crumbled in the sun,
the row which received the mulching
carried through nearly double the
crop of fruit. The material used for
mulching was old, half decayed buck
wheat straw, etc.

A century since in the north of Eu-

the arches Of which was sculptured face
of wondrous beauty. II was long hidden

matchless features. And ever after, year
BY year, upon the days when, for brief
hour it was thus illuminated, crowds

glimpse Of that face It had strange
history. When the cathedral was being
built an old man. broken with the weight
Of years and care, came and bcsought
the architect to let him work upon It.
Out of pity for his age, but fearful lest
his failing sight and trembling touch
might mar some fair design, the master
set him 10 work in the shadows Of the
vaulted roof. One day they found the
old man asleep in death, the tools of his
craft lay in order beside him, the cunning
of his right hand gone, his face upturned
TO the other marvellous face, which he
had wrought there--thc face of one
whom he had loved aud lost in early
manhood And when the artist and
sculptors and workmcn from all parts Of
the cathedral came and looked upon this
face they said. "This is the grandesI

He says that he " viii be found in the Democrat office all the while, and shall con- tinuue to dish up democratic pap for many moons to com. The com. pound may be somewhat nauseo us for the stomachs of parasites, slan- derers and man milliners. It may not agree with these whose democracy is question of pelf, and whose faith in the cause is gauged by the smiles and sustained by the crumbs which are grudgingly given by those who despise them. Our democratic dish may be also a trihe heavy for the tender palates of independents But VIC are not catering for such scaly customers. We are here to do what we can, politically, for the men who believe in democracy as a prin- ciple, and whom we have tried and found not wanting. We are here to stay, and when the time comes shall be prepared to administer homn- pathic doses to dough faces, time servers and backbiters And keep it in your mind--as it were.'
