Work of a War Correspondent.
From the London Home News

from Lne LONDON home NeWS.l
War correspondents lead exciting and
adventurous lives. They can never be
certain of a peaceful half hour at home,
and when one campaign is ended may at
any moment expect to be dispatched to
share the trials of another. Nor is it
only that they are continually on the
move. While actually at their werk
they must be prepared to face danger,
endure hardship and exposure. More
than all, they must, if they would give
loyal service TO the journals they repre-
sent be men Of iron constitution, with
boundless energy and powers of en-
durance. A new proof OF their value
has just been afforded by one of the
most distinguished of their number, Mr..
Cameron, who has long been on the staff
of the Standard, which paper he repre-
sents in India and the TransvaaJ, is now
in Egypt, adding fresh laurels to his rep
utation. His report of the fight at
Kassasin on the 28th was one Of the
finest things he has done, and rivaling
the exploits of such men as McGahan
and Forbes. With the skillful preset
ence which is not the least OF the gifts of
true correspondent, he had attached
himself to the cavalry brigade under
Drury Lowe. It had already been ac-
lively engaged at Mahsamieh, and was
so near the next advanced post that it
was certain to come in for any fighting
in progress. Cameron was not dissap-
ointed. He found himself on the spot
to accompany the cavalry through ell
their movements on that ardUous day,
and rode with them in their march
which so completely decided the fight.
Having witnessed the charge of the
Household cavalry and its successful re-
suits, he knew that the worst was over,
and that it was now his business to get
the good news home. He had been in
the saddle the whole of the trying tropi-
cal day; it was now night, and twenty
four miles of trackless desert interpos-
ing between him and Ismailia, the point
from which he could best telegraph to
England. Nothing daunted by these
tremendous difficulties, he set forth to
ride back to the canal alone. The long
journey must have tried lis strength;
nevertheless, at the end of it he penned
one of the most mastery and graphic
dispatches ever produced by war COR
respondent.

AFTER harvest see that your farm is
sllcked up" There is quite as ouch
necessity for the farmer to have his an
nual farm-cleaning as there is for the
housekeeping. See to the fences, that
they are all In order, so that the stock
cannot break into the corn fields, there
by doing an injury to both themselves
and the crop. See to the lanes, NOW

fence corners; see that all obnoxious
weeds are destroyed before the seeds

A LOAMY soil that is neither SO light
as sandy nor so tenacious as clay soil
is, IS rule, best adapted to fruit or
chards. What are known as calcarous
loans are also priced by the fruit grow
ers; so are the most lands in limestone
districts Fruit trees make a rank growth
IN alluvial soils; but, generally speak
ing, they are neither so hardy nor so
fruitful as are trees in soil containing
more sand, clay, or gravel, and less veg
etable mold. The fruit is not so high
Favored as if from a loamy soil.
gravely soil is not suited to fruit trees,
and must be mixed with clay, muck, peat,
and the like, to insure any success.
HERE is no profit in keeping an old
sheep, and just now is an excellent time
to get rid of them. Sheep are shorter
lived than most other farm animals. and
almost before one knows it some of the
best members of the flock will begin to
get old. Gull them out and keep the
flock young and fresh. Under ordinary
circumstances six or seven years is prob
ably the limit of sleeps useful life.
1t separated from the flock now and
given run of good pasture with very
little grain they will soon be in condi-
ton for market, and can be disposed of
to better advantage than later in the
season.-AgrdcWItur0l Epitomaist.
MANY of our best farmers are of the
opinion that it is better to SOW down
land to grass without aOy other crop;
there are good arguments in favor of
either course, but on the whole there is
no better time for sowing grass-seed
than September; apeck or twelve quarts
OF berdsgrass and one bushel of RED top
seed is about the right quantity for an
acre. Land that has been we'll manured
and cultivated for an early crop OF pota-
toes or peas, would be in good condition
for grass; but if old grass lands that
need renewing, should have a good coat
OF manure spread on after ploughing
and thoroughly narrowed 10, this pre-
paratiOn will secure good catch and fu-
ture CROPS of bay.

ACROSS THE VALE.
BY ]. t. TRowBRIDGE.

Childhood dwells in a charmed eiime,
On the orient borders OF Life and Time,
Where the heavens bend low to the flowers, and Il
bright,
Swift moments stay their hasting fight,
Uncertain whether their confines be
Tracts of Time or Eternity;
So that the days like summer seem,
And the summers reach to an infinite dream
OF beautiful earth and sunny sky,
That scarce moves by.
The adventurous feet of Youth advance
Through realms of passion and fair romance
where still the rosy and silver streaks
OF that earlier cline tint brow and cheeks;
And vistas of hope stretch endlessly,
With apples of gold on every tree,
And pendulous visions melting in air;
just seen the castle of black browed Cares
While the houey-laden minutes HE
More swiftly by.
In the valley beyond village lies
A rainbow laughs in the cbangeful skies.
l see the young men making hay,
mother watching her babe at play,
And steeples, and ships,-for river runs near
The humble of grinding mills hear,
The ripple that chases flying keel;
A lisping forge and the ring of steel;
A spinning-wheel's domestic hum;
The sound of and u fife and drum,
And sections pick in the churchyard nigh
While the hours glide by,
To mighty city the river flows;
With palace and temple its mirror gows,
And foundry smokes and prison roof,
And white doves flying high aloof,
And men and women whose pictures pass
Forever athwart that moving glass;
Joyous and eager and fevereo and wan,
Pursued, pursuing, they hurry on.
Oh swift, oh swift the moments now
The hours escape, we know not how,
Till the dwellers beside that river seem
Themselves but mites in CLASSY stream,
Over whose service the blue days fly
Like bubbles by.
Forth from the city's portal. Age
Fares on his strengthening pilgrimage;
Trembling staff aud silvered brow.
Few and fewer the comrades now;
Ways have parted, and one by one
Lover and friend their course have run,
And many sweet hope ceased the while;
Ever white stone marks the mile:
Till far away in sunset land
/ see the faltering pilgrim stand,
Casting many backward glance
At childhood's Eden and youths romance;
Village and city he dimly sees
Through the thick cemetery trees;
White, muffied and dim, like the sheeted forms
Of rain ghosts blown by autumn storms,
Hurrying phantoms that mock the eye,
The years sweep by.
Betwixt the living and the dead,
In a dell by angels visited,
Walks hoary-headed Ecstacy,
And sees in vision Eternity
Turn an hour-gass in Gods hand
Worlds and suns are the whirling sand.
Oh, happy he of the sons of men
Whose pathway leads to that holy glen
In blissful light his footsteps climb
Once more the verge of the Vale of Time,
Over whose golden borders flow
Sunset splendor and orient glow;
There both are one; and toll and tears,
And minutes and hours and days and years,
Are lost in the glory of Gods deep sky
That moves not by.

GENERAL RTFoID's LOGIC.

There is Western legend that one
who tastes Of the water of the Missouri
River thirsts for i ever atterward.
kentucky has the same legend about
it's whisky; aud now. General Abe
Bufori, who was recently converted by
the Mountain Evangelist, and has been
preaching in the Lords vineyard, in the
East, seems to demonstrate that the
legend also may apply to the turf. He
announces that he is not only gong
back to the race course, but he is going
to own fine horse, aud that very soon.
Are you going to leave the church :"
lie was asked. Leave the church, +"
raid the General, "leave it," Why,
bless your soul, no. A man can cwn a
fine horse, aud run him, too, and 90 to
Heaven. Must all this beautiful coun-
try go to waste because a few gamblers
live here. Look at your military drill
last week. Wasn't there betting on
.itl" Well, then, must our great mill
tary organizations. the protection OF our
country. be broken up because people
choose TO bet on the result of drill!
So it is about horse race. Why, 1t Is
ridiculous" So We may expect to hear
next season Of General Abe Buford's
string OF highly moral racers going
about the country 10 measure strides
with the unenllghtened, and perhaps
inlidel, colts of the old d-fashioned turf
