About Oscar Wilde.

There has been good deal of rid-
oue associated with tho name of Oscar
Wilde, now on visit to this country,
aud the aesthetic element he is sup
posed to represent in London. But
the face is, Mr.. Wilde ia highly cul
tivated gentlemanihe graduated Mt Ok
ford with high honors, and has writ
ten at least one book of posms Of real
merit. The lecture bo delivered in
New York was finely conceived aud
admirably expressed, and as he ia only
}twents six yenss,ss ogo, he has donbt'
less long and honorable career be-
fore him. He is u handsome young
gentleman, six feet, three in height,
bnt the wits of Punch made great
denl of fun of him because lo parted
his hair in the middle, aud wore II
long, and attended evening receptions
in knee breeches and silk stockings.
This seems fantastical, but Mr.. Wilde
represents an art revival in Great
Britain. The leading poets and pain
tiers of modern England are more OF
less impenetrated with the same spirit
that auimates Oscar wilde. 1t has
resulted in an almost entire teforma-
ton in household decorations. The
Queen Anne architecture aud Eastlake
furniture were first brought into use
by the modern aesthetics. Their OBJ
jects ia to incnlcate love Of the
beautiful, to pnt moro color into life
and human attire, and to revive, il
possible, some Of the art splcndors
which signalized the age Of PeIicles
and the art epochs of the middle ages.
Oscar Wilde's love Of snntl0werA ard
lilies is at least inoiTcnsiyo and limo
cent. II his visit to this country re.
suits in awaking an interest culture
and the higher forms of mt, he will
have done an excellent work.-From

Corn Culture.

Almost every farmer plants corn and
each has his pet theory as to tho pro-
per cultivation of that cereal. Two
PREVALENT errors arc endorsed by the
practice Of n great number of planters:
First, putting IN the seed too deep
second, planting too much per acre.
For really successful crops of corn,
rich bottom land is necessary and the
carly winter is the season to break mp
the land, Break up tho land IA deep
as possible; cultivate tho crops shall
lowly and repeatedly. Put your
sweeps or plows over the crops every
two weeks until it ia in tassee and
leavejthe land ms level ms floor.
Ridgiug mp the land ia old fogyism, and
should be discontinued by progressig o
farmers. Common prairie land is
unsuited to the growth of corn, espeoi-
ally in Northern Texas. Cotton with
its tap root striking deep into the moist
under strata and small grain crops
which ripen before the dry season
sets in are most profitable in this sec
ton.
Farmers must learn to use Judgment
in selecting land for different crops,
aud they must apply common sense to
their work.-Age Of Progress.

Pug had objected to going to church,
and the child had carried the strug-

three squares. The sweet baby face
was flushed with the heat and fatigue,
the broad-brimmed hat was pushed far
back over the sunny curls, and Pug had
torn . big rent in the sailor dress in his
effort to escape. So he climbed up ON
one of the green wooden seats, under

his arms, and would doubtless have
fallen fast asleep If the choir in the
church Just across the street had not
commenced to sing:
"Christ the Lord IL risen again,

the church stepped the little lad, and
was up on the pulpit stairs before any
one had thought to stop him.
Yes, there was the great cool shaded
church; the sweet music; flowers on the
organ, the altar and everywhere about
the chancel. but the angels with their
white wings-where were they? And
little brother Philip-was he not in this
Heavenly place?
Jacky turned round on the pulpit

face all rosy red at the sight of her

"rve brought you your doggy, Aunt

voice, that rang through the arches Of
the great church. ,"And, oh, Aunt

tears starting from the blue eyes, "there

MARCH AND APRIL.


A clustering fellow goes proving about:
He losses the snow with Q ecuf1e and shout,
And pinches the toes,
The ears and the nose
OF each little darling, wherever he Coca
The timid birds hear him and hide their wee
heads,
The mooy-cows shiver in barns and in sheds,
And sweet flowers say,
At home we win stay
Until this noisy fellow gets out OF the way.
A bright little maiden IL soon ON his track.
And gently, though firmly, she orders him
back.
Oh, fair she appears,
In smiles and In tears:
She calls to the flowers: "Come up. pretty
dears."
The birds hear her voice, and they twitter with
glee,
And pink little buds peep the bright sky to
see:
The grass wrinkles out,
And lambs skip about,
And, oh, the glad children 30 merrily shout!
And who Is this clustering chap, can you tell?
And who is this maiden who robes hill and dell,
Whose whisper 50 arch
Wakes Oak-tree and larch?
Why, she Is Miss April. and he Mister March.

How French Women Are Loved.

The Provencal women are the state
lest, most queen-like specimens of their
sex that have ever seen. Tall, we'll
formed, strong, with piercing black
eyes and bronzed faces, they charm the
eye and attack the heart of the lover of
the beautiful. There is ever, too, a
smile upon their lips, a reflection of the
SUMS rays from their pretty faces, as
they chatter in their rich old Provencal
dialect.
In any other country but France
these faces would photograph them
celves upon the hearts of men. and
rouse a passion which only its return
could sooth. Men would love, live, fight
or die for the women of Provence-at
least Englishmen wouldn't such
things are unknown in France. I do
not say unknown here only, but un-
known in France. The Paris exquisite
may affect a taste in women as he does
a taste in horses. He may even spend
his time and money in their pursuit; but
as nation, and with but rare excep-
tons, the love of woman as woman does
not exist in Paris.
To the Frenchman the woman is ev-
erything except his hearts love. She is
his business partner; in fact the manag-
ing partner of his business, while he
lives in the cafe. In the country she is
his laboring man. his purse-keeper, his
adviser, often his master. To the pro-
fessional man she is the mother to his
children, the bringer of a certain dot to
the family store In politics she is the
center around which men congregate.
In religion, the deputy and representa-
tive of all mankind in church. But in
the heart of Frenchman she has no
place and no home.
What say generally of France I say
particularly of this place and all coun-
try places marriages are made as bust
ness partnerships are made, with due
regard to business arrangements on all
sides, and without any reference what
soever to the impulses of the heart.
Only few days ago one of our hand
soonest young fellows gaveup one of our
prettiest girls, whose parents are rich,
because the sum of hard cash to be
handed over to him on the day of mar
rage was not equal to his demands. He
will now, of course, look for another
wife as he would look for another farm,
with sole regard to his income-bring-
inc prospects.

Beckford and the Match Making Duchess.

There is capital story told in con-
nection with Beckord and the Duchess
of Gordon. That man of his enorm-
GUS wealth should remain . widower
was to the mother-wOrld most heinous
offence, and every lure was cast out by
gorgon mammas and siren daughters 70

hermit was proof against all tempta-
tons. Most famous of all the match
making mothers of the period was her
Grace of Gordon, q resolute woman
who cared nothing for rebuffs where .
prize for one of her daughters might be
gained, and under whose manipulation
man was weak creature indeed. Beck
ford was in the habit of paying short
visit to London once or twice during the
year, but finding that he always con-
trived to avoid her and her darlings, tho
Duchess resolved to pay an unlimited
visit to Fonthlll and attack the lion in
his den. Made aware of her coming,
Beckford gave instructions to his conf
dental servant. to see that the lady was
sumptuously entertained as long as she
chose to remain, and then retired to his
private apartments.
When her Grace arrived, she was in
formed that Mr.. Beckford was engaged
studying some new books that he had
Just received, and that it was more than
any servant dared do to disturb him.
The next day, and the next, similar
excuses were rendered to her request to
soc the host; every attention was
paid her, everything she could de-
sire was at her commanders

this maternal fortune-hunter fretted and
fumed and resorted to every device her
imagination could suggest to get at her
proposed victim, but all in vain; and at
the end of that time she was COM

an oak tree. Fortunately itvaulted oven

The panther crept along the ground to
ward him, seemingly determined to slay
him. Davis fired again, and this time
the shot was fatal, the charge lodging
in the panther's head and killing it in 8
short time. The animal was unusually
large, measuring eight feet five inches
from the tip Of the tail. Nearly awhot
