A soothing cadence near;

MISSING"

My two little fair-haired children, full of frolic
and glee,
Are missing o-night from the nursery, from
their place beside my knee;
Have you seen the little darlings in you wander
ings on the street?
They could not go so very far with those listless
lettering feet
My girl is bright-eyed fairy, with lips like
cherries red,
And hair of brown like hossy crown upon her
baby head;
She wore dress of dainty blue and an apron
white snow,
And little red boots with the heels cut down, and
hole in either toe.
Ny boy is a sturdy fellow, with laughing, sun
burnt face
There's nothing handsome in it, only childhood's
honest grace
A clean checked apron, belted down, hid the
patches on his knees,
And the broken rim of his little hat went hutter-
in the breeze.
You ask: "Haye they long been missing ais it
long since thew went away?'
II seems to be but little while, but I'm sure
cannot say;
! have never kept any record in years and days
and hours;
count the time in smiles and tears-lEe's sun
IT'S too quiet here without tn, m-the house
seems full Of fears;
There's dearth of childish laughter, lack of
childish tears;
The crib in my room is empty, and in the all
up stairs,
Stand, side by side, in the corner, two little at
tered chairs.
When night brings down its blessings, and steal
away to rest,
sadly miss the little heads once pilowed on my
breast:
Sometimes forget my empty arms and sing the
evening hymn
As used to sing beside their crib in the twi-
light soft and dim,
lis true that in yonder parlor sits girl whose
pale, fair face
Brings to my mind memory of the old time
childish face
She tells me that she is the little girl my heart
so longs to see,
That hers is the same dear baby form tina. knelt
beside my knee.
And bright-faced youth, as tall as !, comes as
dream alone,
Sits down in the chair beside me, puts his face
against my own,
And kisses, and calls me "mother," and SAYS he :
the urchin brigh.
Who wore the tattered title hat and slept in the
crib at night.
1t seems like dream, but it must be true; did
not count the hours
As they passed along to youths fair land, from
childhood buds and flowers;
And softly ask the Father, as the quiet. tear
drops come,
That they be not counted missing when lie calls
His children home.

Ibid she hoist! Well, look at me, and

feet, switched me with her tail, and
hooked me with both horns at once; and
when J got up out OF the bedding in the
stall, and dug my hat out of the manger,

forgot all about the polite treatment of

We tried to explain to him that the
advice did not apply to briddle COWS at
all, but he hoped out, the maddest man
that ever asked COW to hoist.

It is q great mistake to delay the work
of preparation for winter until it is sug-
gested by cool nights or warning given
by blighting fgosts. When a plant has
been taken from q pot and planted in
open ground it usually out-grows its
former place and is too large for any
vessel of convenient size. The root
should be cut away to considerable ex
tent and likewise the top or foliage must
be correspondingly reduced. Novices
often fail at this point, for they dislike to
part with any of the new growth, and set
the plant in Q pot unpruned and expect,
what is not possible, that it will flourish.
Cut back root system and branch system
equally is the rule. Plants when thus
transplsnted need to be favored by be-
ing kept in the shade and sheltered from
the drying winds until they have made q
good start in the pots. Many of the
house plants are kept in their pots dur
ing the summer and they will need re
potting, or the pot washed and the sur
face soil replaced by fresh, rich earth.
A larger pot is needed by those plants
whose roots have formed mat along the
the inner surface. The ball of earth can
be examined qaickly by spreading the
left hand on the vessel-the stem passing
between the fingers, and with the other
hand on the bottom invert the pot and
give the edge downward tap against
some object. If this does Lot succeed,
pour some water around the edge, and
after . short time repeat the operation.
All old pots should be clean, and If new
ones are used soak them in water until
the pores are filed. A piece of broken
vessel 10 placed over the bottom hole be.

the necessary pots, soil. etc., should be

Picking

The proper picking of apples is of
great importance. The best keeping sorts
will not be preserved we'll unless the
fruit is uninjured in gathering, and
packing securely. The most approved
method of picking is by hand, with lad
ders. the fruit being put into grain
sack. The bottom and top of the sack
are brought together and tied, and then
hung upon the shoulder. A short stick
may be used to keep the mouth of the
sack open. The sack is quickly and
easily emp.ied by lowering the mouth
end and lifting upon the bottom. The
sack can be lowered into the barrel and
the apples will run out without being
bruised as when they are poured in
from q basket from the top. Many
apple growers prefer to put the fruit
in heaps for few days that the skin
may tougher before barreling. In
short the aim in picking should be to
not bruise the fruit, aud in this way en-
nance the keeping quality. The fruit
should not move about in barrels during
shipment, and to this end the apples
must be shaken down when the barrel is
half full, and again when full, after
which the head is put on and pressed
into place with considerable force. 1t is
better to have the upper apples some
what fattened than to leave the fruit 30
it will stir in the package. The opposite
head should be marked as the one to be
opened. The mistake is sometimes
made of not sorting the fruit. Mark at
least two qualities or grades, and make
each package with its grade. This will
secure uniformity in the fruit in each
barrel. and better price. There is much
to be gained in the way Of . reputation
for careful packing, honest asserting and

democrats became greatly discouraged, and
in their hearts gave up all hope of elect

is, undoubtedly, the strOnges. man in the
county.
This morning, however, when the vote
OF a few remaining townships was bought
in and counted, the republicans assumed
the painful feeling of encouragement and !,
Lille the democrats on the preceding even
ing, gave way to it. AT noon, to-day, the
entire vote was in, and, when summed up,
resulted, substantially, as follows:
Democrats elected five men James II.
Lay, representative; Eli L. Rhea, circuit
clerk; Dee Reese, county clerk; II. T..
Patton, probate Judge. and Samuel w.
Davis, county court judge, First district.
Republicans elected lime men: NJ. Jeans,

1t is unne 'essary to give the greenback
vote, as they amount TO nothing.
The republican candidates who were de-
fea;ed, are sore To the heart, aud it is be-
lieved that DR.. Crawford will soon leave
