Veuus-A Semi 0rphic Poem.

Once in my life. twas In my manhood's primo,
A beautiful creature with bright, beaming eyes
Put her spell on my soul. She took as prize
All my Joys, all my tears,
Ali my hopes and my fears,
All the mystical CLEANS
That fash prophetic In dreams.
Ali won her for mine with kiss,
And thought in my heart for time,
This is JOY, this Is peace, this is bliss.
And hid all her loveliness deep in my heart,
To keep 1t in safety apart;
Ard said, "Thou art fair,
With thy dark. waving hair;
Thou hast opened vision ecstatic TO me;
At the spell Of thy presence, magnetic and
Tho heart that was iifeless would quicken and
rhe heaven OF heavens Is conferred I'm thee
D, thou beautiful being! Mid planets above,
In the fur, unati ainable star-realms on high,
In that ever unknowable belt Of the sky,
Where billions 81 spirits i've love- think and
There's none that's more fair or more worthy
OF lover
For safety hid her
In my palace within,
Free from harm and from sin,
And from mOrtais all free,
Lest they should behold Scr
And steal her froni-fne;
Lest they should D bold
And battle in the Light
or her orbs that ontshone
All the stars of the night;
Lest they should behold
And take her from me;
For, wherever she dwelt,
1t was heaven to me!
Alb, then was blessed on the land and the sea,
The universe bloomed in divine harmony;
The earth and the sky smiled as never before,
And spirit so happy could ask for no more.

THE SILK INDUSTRY.

The greatest incentive to engage in
silk culture is the knowledge that there
is home market. for $l5,000,000
worth of floss, which American manu-
facturers are obliged to import from
foreign lands. The other consideration
is, that silk culture furnishes women
and children in the rural districts, with
congenial occupation that does not
require constant attention, and so will
not interfere with household duties.
Anyone with sufficient land to grow
few mulberry trees can add the rearing
of silk worms to the daily care and find
it source of pleasure and profit. The
work occupies but a small portion of
the year, and child can attend to the
daily gathering of leaves and feeding
the worms. If q supply of mulberry
leaves cannot be had, an Usage orange
hedge will answer every purpose. The
Usage orange leaf is admirable food for
the silk worms, from which they spin
splendid silk.
A very interesting event of national
interest, connected with this subject Of
silk culture, has just occurred in Phila-
delphia. The Women's Silk Culture
Association selected silk from twenty
six families living in fourteen states
had it spun on yankee" reel, made
into a web Of twenty-eight thousand
threads of silk, and woven as brocade
on jacquard loom, requiring three
thousand six hundred needles to form
the orlgilal and striking design. This
is the first brocade ever woven il
America of American silk and proba
bly the heaviest in texture of any
brocade ever woven. 1t is known as

THE productions of Tennessee are as
various as it's climates. Wheat grows
here as finely and as certainly as it does
upon the shores of the Great Lakes.
Corn, oats, rye, barley, broom-corn,
sugar-cane, in fact all the farm products
that are cultivated north of the Ohio
River, are fully equal to them in guam
tity aud in quality. In addition cotton
and tobacco are staple crops, and few
countries yield them more lavishly. 1t
is no uncommon thing to get from an
acre of ground two hundred bushels of
sweet or Irish potatoes. and all the
garden vegetables are successfully grown.
The presence of the railroad gives to
the Tennessee farmer an opportunity to
compete with the gardens around Gin
cinnati and New York, with the advan,
tage Of being able to get their goods
into market two or three weeks in ad-
vance of those who work the colder
soils of that country. The highlands
everywhere in the State are we'll adapted
to fruit culture. The popularity of the
subsoil enables the roots to run down to
a surprising depth, drawing food from a
great distance round. The small fruits
can be carried to the northern markets
safely, competeing with the most eligible
points in the United States, Some of
the finest vineyards of the western
country are found on the table-lands
The woods are profuse in their growth
of wild grapes, indicating the capacity
of the land in this respect The climate
is peculiarly adapted to bring the
grapes into state Of lusciousness and
flavor similar to the sunny slopes Of
France or the hills bordering on the
Rhine. The occasional rains of Summer
are just enough to ripen them we'll
without producing rot or mildew. In
short, these mountain sides and hills
grow the vines with remarkable vigor
and ripen the fruit with uniform GER
tainty unequallcd elsewhere. They
have none of the 'deadening freezes sc
common to the vineyards of the North
In addition to all these advantages, the
fruit ripens here fully three or foul
weeks in advance of the vineyards that
supply the tables of New York anG
Boston, and for this length Of time the
grapes could be sold at high prices, be-
cause they are thrown upon bare
market, and this may with truth be sale

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.
BY q. o.

As the culture of the strawberry can,
with profit, be pursued in this locality,
it may not be amiss to say few words
ON the subject. Having, in the first
place, received a strawberry education
among the small fruit farmers of New
Jersey, in the second place, experiment
ted on the matter for seven years in the
valley of the Ohio, and, in the third
place, had the care of the strawberry
patch in the Garden belonging to the
Board Of Aid, for the present season, I
may be qualified to give an opinion at
least. | will begin with the statement
Of few facts The strawberry plot in
the Garden contains 2,05S square
yards. An acre contains 1850. So
we see the plot contains little less
than half an acre. The product was,
at the least, 400 quarts or l25 bushels
of berries. say, at the least, 45O
quarts would come nearer the fact, but
| prefer to make safe statements.
These would have brought l5 cts per
quart, on the ground, which was far
below Cincinnati prices, 10 cts. would
produce $50, or at the rate of $l20 per
acre. Did the patch give fair yield ?
No! nothing like it. Nevertheless,
the plants did give tair,yield in spite
of late frost and bad winter manage
ment. These seeming incongruous
facts were drawn together by the fol-
lowing circumstances. The plants were
set 2x3 feet The runners were all
hoed off, leaving just one plant for
every six square feet of ground. | need
not hint at the absurdity of this
method, to the strawberry culturist /; he
will understand it; but to the novice,
| will say that there should be at least
six plants where there is one. | know
there was once method of culture in
use, called stooling, which was to cut
off the runners and let the old plant
increase in size by throwing out side
shoots; in this manner, the older strong
growing varieties would, in the course
of time, make very large plants. But
the system has become obsolete in
practice, and lives only in old books
and, the dreams of those who read
them, for the good reason that our
newer hybrids will not so increase
but, on the contrary, will remain small
and eventually die of old age. Hence
what was called the field system ir
those days of stooling, is now the only
system known to the live strawberry
man.
Every man has his own peculiar no
tions in regard to minor details of th'
system. l will give what | would con
ceive to be the best method Som,
strawberry man may know bette
, one, if so, | stand corrected.
