ONE of the best dairymen in Vermont
says: 81 have come to the conclusion,

ing of meal every day to such of my
COWS as are giving milk, that in future I
would feed them more meal instead of
less. L believe that when the COWS have
been properly selected, and are of a
breed that are reliable as to butter quail
tiles, it amounts to certainty that all
we feed them above what is required to
sustain their bodies will be returned to
us in butter, with large profit on the
investment. At the same time care
should be exercised not to over-feed.
Gilt edge butter cannot be made from
COWS thin in flesh and poorly fed"

THE MANTLE OF THE DEAD.
BY M. MAY HASTINGS

1t lies above them, like mantle, cold
And fair, in frozen beauty, fold on fold
1t wraps the bare, dry earth with loving care.
And all that meets our eyes is pure and fair.
HOW fa1rer far the forms that lie below,
An, none but mourners know.
Yet they are not unmarried, that lie 30 white
Beneath the kisses of the winter light,
with deep-grieved hearts, what bitter tears we
shed
Why mourn we with such sorrow for the dead2
An, over all the past lies, dropping low,
The error-hiding snow.
o chilling mantlei droop thy fringe not yet
On life, that we in grief may faults forget.
Let ii not be in vain that those we prize
Look sorrowing, repentant in our eyes
To see there our forgiveness and our trust
Ere they lie in the dust

A VERY fine canary bird is owned by
a gentleman in Nevada County, Cali
fornia. Recently unusual quantities of
food disappeared from it's cage. One
day the gentleman CHANGED to look in
the cage, and there, snugly slowed away
in one of the seed-boxes, was mouse
as fat as butter. Upon attempting to
remove the mouse, the canary made a
chivalrous fight for the little animal. A
singular fact is, that while the mouse
was in the cage the bird kept up con-
slant singing all day, but since the
mouse has been removed the bird has re-
fused to MARBLE.

A MAN at Bath, Maine, recently, mis-
took buoy that was anchored OFT the
shore for piece of driftwood. He
hooked on to it, and rowed for dear life
for five minutes, to the amusement Of
the lookers-on. The buoy is still there.

/ may not close my thought or sight to all
The scourge and struggle of our common lives,
I may speak boldly of world that thrives
On self-destruction, war, disease, and thrall;
And yet my hope cries clearly as the call
Of jubilant thrllshes when the Spring revives;
1t has the wings of dawn and blithely strives
To sing when life is nearest to its fall;
Dreams, creeds, and aspirations may go by
Like friends that have betrayed u.s. but we stand
Sublime and strong while things fills the heart
Hope born immortal to us till we die,
Which makes such men of us that we Withstand
The woIfsh years which crush and depart.

I,-GRIEF.
There are despairs which seem to blast and Kill,
That darken day and rob the stars of light,
That make the manifest weep as women might,
That bend the valor of the human will
Despairs which burn like hopeless love; and still
Love can transfigure while it seems to blight
Strong hearts feed nobly on their grief, despite
world where hearts can ever thrive but i'll.
Sweet love and laughter are the dream of youth,
And soft contentment is golden bar
Which shuts life within its commonplace;
But the old world grows wiser in the truth
That SORROWS fashion us to what we are
And rouse the inyncible genius of our race.

uI.-LOvE.
Love is forever and divinely new,
AS young as when the first heart learned to beat
As strong, as tender, and as wildly sweet,
The immortal part of US, the crown of few
Out of the savage lust of life it grew,
As soft fower-srowth out of light and heat,
spirit of fire that time could not defeat,
Which made the antique world it overthrow.
Unshaken amid the wreck of ages, one
known of all life and speech for every mouth,
One song that echoes worldwide and one time
One thing worth living for beneath the sun,
as beautiful az Summer in the South,
And full of passion as the heart of June.

TJIE pEOpTE SPEAK.


The American citizen gets chance to
make himself heard at intervals, and then
1t is with emphasis. He casually observed
last Tuesday, in tones that rolled from
Massachusetts to California, that there are a
number of things he does not like.
He does not like to keep on paying war
taxes, both internal and customs, in time of
profound peace, and to have relief postponed
until a lot Of partisan wrangles are settled
in Congress.
He does not relish arbitrary proceedings
by the majority in that Congress and dis.
graceful dickers with men like Malone to
preserve narrow margin of ir.used and
perverted power.
Administration, which represents no popular
choice, or in fact any Administration, tam
pering with State politics from Washington,
debating nominations, attempting to control
maiorties, and, in short, making itself either
tyran, or nuisance in the sphere which
belongs properly to Home Rule. Nearly two
hundred thousand Republicans and Demo-
Gratis Joined voices IN New York to declare
glorously that this is still Federal Repub.
lie, and not yet a centralized, bureaucrat
despotism.
lie does not like to see Congressional
plunderers Join hands to carry OF the swag
of monstrOusly inflated River and Harlrr
Bill of eighteen millions, passing It over the
Presidents veto with nwhoop of triumph, but
without debate, and los Representatives and
l9 Senators being afraid or ashamed to vote
either way.
He does not like to see new Government
Bureau setting itself up in Washington to
assess the salaries of employees (paid out of
the taxes of Democrats and Republicans
alike) to carry Congressional elections in
the States, no account being ever rendered
of the vast fund ognthered, ami the surmise
being that the worst possible use is made oft.
He does not like to see the responsible
leaders of party openly derding the crown
ing promise of its platform in 1850, that it
"adopts the declaration OF President Hayes
" that the reform of the Civil Service should
be thorough, radical, and complete. To this
end it demands the cooperation of the legis-
lative with the executive departments of
the Government, and that Congress shall
$50 legislate that fitness, ascertained Ivy
proper practical tests shall admit to the
"publc service"
There is a lesson for both parties in all
this. The Democracy has not yet carried
the election of 1884, but it has shown that
it can do it with good management; and one
OF the best signs is that prominent men, like
Grover Cleveland, feel this responsibility,
and intend to so to work now to earn the
ultimate success.

This is charge that both parties are apt
to throw at each other and both to resent
with equal indignation. But the Republican
accent on the subject has taken on a sharper
shrek since it has been seen that great
wrong perpetrated under the forms of law is
likely to be remeded in New York and
Pennsylvania, owing to the results of last
weeks election. The Republican, as a
minority party, has always depended largely
on tricky and fraudulent division of these
great States to perpetuate its power, and
has stopped at no injustice or vicious alb.
surdity in laying out districts.
In the State of Pennsylvania this has been
proverbial for years, In the constant strug.
gle'to keep its grip on the majority in the
Congressional delegation the Legislature has
divided up counties by all sorts of lines
with the most glaringly unfair motives, and
has even carved an obnoxious Democratic
ward right out of Il city and tackled it to an
already large Democratic district, in the hope
of multiplying its vote. The total result of
this system is best seen in the fact that the
Democratic members of the present House
represent 4l0, 900 votes cast for them. while
the Republican members polled AL 900, only
$1,000 votes, OF a little over seven per cent
majority. BY the infamous gerrymandering
Just spoken of the Republicans elected
nineteen members, while the Democrats
have but eight, difference of over fifty
