When the glory Of the sunlight
Leaves IFS impress in the sky
And o low voice seems to whisper,
With passion in each breath.
Il will love thee, love, for ever;
Youmay trust me unto death
And live upon the echo
Of that passionate refrain,
And nv bOpeis firm and steadfast
shall hear it once again.
Though years may pass and vanish
And life grow worn and cold,

Of those pleading Vo7ds Of CID.

Fall Flowing.
American Agriculturist.

Any one who has seen the best
European farming knows how i'm
portant it is to thoroughly prepare
the ground for the seed. The work
ing OF tue soil adds nothing, but 1t
helps in changing the form of the
plant food compounds, and thus
plowing and narrowing becomes in>
directly a source of nourlshment.
The soil is a vast storehouse of plant
food, which it holds by virtue of
Insolubiity. Furthermore, it is only
through the action of the air and all
those processes, chemical and other>
wise, which are covered by such
terms as weathering, nutrification,
etc, these essential elements are
brought into a soluble form and
made available for the use of the
growing plant. The chemistry of
the soil, as it becomes better unders
stood, teaches in every line
the importance of frequent
stirring of the surface of the
cropped field. With tins in mind, it
is to the purpose to urge the lmpor-
lance of fall p.owing. For other
than chemical reasons, the stubble
or sod may be turned under this fall.
Not only will the air Circulate more
freely, and the processes of reducing
the insoluble substances go on more
rapidly, but the mechanical texture
of the heavy soil especially will be
improved. Should insects or their
larvae or ''worms" abound in the
earth they will be turned out of
their winter quarters and destroyed.
Aside from these advantages there is
iull in the farm work at this sea
son, and any plowlng or other labor
with the soIi Will help materially to
lessen the rush and hurry that other
wise comes with the busy months OF
spring. The thoughtful and suc-
cessful farmer SO plans his farming
operations that one season helps the
next in more ways than one.

Duping a Rival Drummer.
Olean Mirror.

At station on the Erie Railroad,
a few miles from this cit, the other
day, the train stopped for dinner
Among the passengers who got out
and took seat at the table was a
petite little brunette of lady, dash
ing, black>eyed and fascinating. By
remarkable coincidence two drum
mers, each from different direction,
and both intimately acquainted with
the Joung lady, also got out at the
station, and both were equally sur
prised at the meeting.
One of the commercial men-he
who had the greatest presence of
mind, and, of course, knew that
twas half of life to take advantage
of opportunities-at once rushed for
the Titled lady and planted himself
by her side. The other drummer
had to content himself with dis,
tant bow of recognition, and seat
on her left, leaving to his rival all
the sweets of a closer companions
ship and the prodigal smiles which
the young lady lavisbed upon him.
This went on for some time. The
young lady and the drummer on her
right were obeying the injunction to
'eat, drink and be merry -especial>
ly merry-whlle the "Ieft" one ate
his dinner in silence and 'chewed
the cud of envy and discomfort" At
last brilliant thought struck him.
To think was to act. The conductor
Of the train, which was about to
leave In ten minutes, was next to
him. Leaning over, he whispered:
Conductor, here the best twen>
ty five cent Havana cigar yeu ever
smoked in your lire. Please go to
the door and shout, 'All aboard ]
swear / can't stand this any longer"
The conductor-who fully appre-
ciated the situation, and had doubt
less ''been there himself having
finished his dinner, rushed to the
door, looked at his watch and then
sang out, in stentorian voice, GAN
aboard"
UP JuLnpeu Gne favored rival Oh
the lady's aud darted for his grips

depe ,ded upon it, and the astute
drummer who had played it" on him

tuljy conversant with the joke just
play ed; but such is tie "pervers,ty"

How a Whale Breatbes.

The wlndpipe does not communi-
cate with the mouth; a hole is, as it
were, bored right through the back
of the head. Engineers would do
we'll to copy the action of the valve
of the whales blow hole; more
perfect piece OF structure it is i'm
possible to imagine. Day and night,
asleep or awake, the whale works his
breathing apparatus in such man
ner that not a drop of water ever
gets down into thelung. Again, the
whale must of necessity stay a much
longer period of time under the
water than seals; this alone might
possibly drown him, inasmuch as the
lungs can not have access to fresh
air. We find that this difficulty has
been anticipated and obviated by a
peculiar reservoir in the venous
system, which reservoir is situated
at the back of the lungs.

Why Should No Women Whistle?

chronological Journal.
If the mere act of whistling can
help and cheer man so much,
why should it be denied to woman?
If whistling will drive away the
blues and be company for lonesome
person, surely women have much
more need of its services than their
brothers, for to them come many
more such occasions than to men.
There are many who have not the
gift of song. Why should they not
whistle as they rock the cradle or
perform their household duties or
accompany themselves on the piano?
But there is a physical or hygienic
advantage in whistling which
should excuse it against all
the canons of propriety or good
form. It is often remarked that
the average girl is narrow-chested,
and in that respect compares unfa
vorably with her brother. May this
not be due in some measure to the
habit of whistling which every boy
acquires as soon as he arrives at the
dignity of pants, and girls seldom
do? Let any one try for FIVE min,
utes the inhaling and exhailing OF
the breath as it occurs in the act of
whistling, and the effect on the chest
and lungs cannot fail to be noticed.
A daily practice of this kind would
be of more benefit than all the patent
inspirators and chest expanders in
the market.

Yellow Fever Prevented.

worst miasmatic influences, going in and
coming out of Savannah at different hours
of the night, and also in spending entire
nights in the city during the prevalence of
the yellow fever epidemic of 1874, with but
the single exception of one of US (who was
taken sick but speedily recorvered) We con-
tinued in our usual good health-a circum-
stance we can account for in no other way
but by the effect, under Providence, of the
habitual and continued use of Simmons

sessed; in 1881, January l, according
to the assessors rolls, there were
3,2O2,1O4 head, and it is probable
that the assessment for January /,

by January / next, a much larger
number will be shown, as the natural
increase and the increase by impor-

would swell the figures probably to
100000 head. But it is reasonable
to infer that there is large percent
age of sheep in the State not on the
assessors rolls, as is the case with all
classes of personal property. Since
January 1, 1881, when 3,262,10
head of sheep we're assessed, very
large numbers have been brought to
Texas by rail from the older States,
and large herds have been driven
here overland from California and
the State of Mexico. The estimate
of the News was based upon the nat
ural increase, which is very great,
the extraordinary impetus given to
the business recently, which has
caused the large importations indi-
Gated, and the fact, which will hardly
he disputed, that large proportion
of the sheep in Texas are not as
sessed.-Galveston News.
