Miss Balsamapple scrutinized the pep

We Shall Know.

When the mists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in kisses on the rills,
We may read loves shining letter
In the rainbow OF the spray;
We shall know each other better
When the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
NeyermOre to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
If we err in human blindness,
And forget that we are dust,
If we miss the law of kindness.
When we struggle to be Just,
Snowy wings of peace shall cover
All the pains that cloud our day.
When the weary watch is over
And the mists have cleared away,
We shall know as we are known,
Nevermore to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the sivery mists have veiled Us
From the faces of our own,
Oft we deem their love has failed us,
And we tread our path alone;
We should see them near and truly,
We should trust them day by day,
Neither love nor blame unduly.
If the miSts were cleared away.
We shall know as we are known.

Too Extensive.

Ex-senator Blaines new house is now
having the finishing tout hes put to it.
Mr.. Blaine was in New York recently,
and read in one of the papers there a
description Of Governor Tilden's new
mansion. One thing that struck him
particularly was the way The dining room
was finished ut. He visited the house
and was particularly pleased with it. He
Immediately made up his mind that the
dining room Of his own house should be
fitted out like it. He accordingly tele
graphed his builder to meet him in New
York The two then visited Mr.. Tilden's
house. The builder was asked to prepare
an estimate of whati it would cost to make
the Blaine dining room like it, The
builder made the necessary calculations.
talked with Mr.. Tildens contractor, and
then sat down and began figuring. III
two days he gave Mr. Blaine bis answer
"Well, how much will it COST" Nh
Blaine asked. "My figuring" replied
the builder ''puts it at $4,000" II am
supposed to be an unusually rich man."
remarked Mr.. Blaine in reply, "but III

things, I'll have to dismiss the thought

Mr.. Blaine and the Presidency.

81 am not a candidate for the Presid-
ency | can say what wish" This is
the language attributed to Mr. Blaine by
a gentleman who recently talked with
him with regard to his views on Virginia
politics. The inference of this gentleman
from that conversation was that Blaine
was really contemplating going to Nir-
glnla to make one speech or more in the
line OF his recent Western interview, but
that he had not fully decided. Another
friend of Mr.. Blaine says that his attitude
as regards the Presidency, is this ale
has not abando his desire, or it may
be called his hope, to become President,
but he does not intend again to make an
active canvas to secure delegates to a
nominating convention. Under the cir
cumstances he deems ii wiser not to be a
candidate, and in that sense he is not a
candidate for the Presidency. He will
not make any combinations in advance to
capture the convention, but he most GER
tainly would not decline the nomination
if the majority of the delegates should see
fit to tender it to him."

The Record of Reformer.
Mr.. BLAISE'S Seating REVIEW OF THE
CAREER OLE q AL SEHIrRZ.

CAREER OF Carl SCHURZ.
The New York Evening Post charged ed-
toriay that Mr.. Blaine as soon as he had en-
tered Garteld's Cabinet ''began at once to COM
NIT and advise every form of civil service
abuse,' that she plunged into spoils and wal
lowed in them like Il rhnoceros in an Afri-
can pools" and much more of the same sort.
Mr.. Blaine replied to these sweeping charges
through an interview in the Chicago Tribune
in which he held Mr.. Carl Schurz to be the
author of them. Mr.. Blaine declared the
charges to be ''untrue in whole and in detail
meanly and maliciously untrue-so absolutely
untrue that there is not one fact or shadow of
fact to sustain them" Mr. Blaine continued
as follows:
II challenge Mr.. Schurz to bring forward
not hundred, not fifty, not twenty, not ten,
not five instances of the kind he charges, but !
challenge him to bring forward onc-just one
propose tC put him to the test of his RESPONSE
bility to the public as journalist, and of his
Yeraclty as Il private gentleman, who is bound
to be careful in his statements"
Beyond this defiant challenge to Mr.. Schurz,
Mr.. Blaine proceeds to carry the war into Africa
and charges violation of his own civil service
professions upon Mr.. SchuZ. We quote part
of what Mr.. Blaine says on that point:
"After great flourish of trumpets as to il
system of competitive examinations i'll the In
terror Department, they We're quietly aban-
dOned by Mr.. SthurZ. And during the last year
he abandoned them even as applicable to pro-
motions from one grade to another where the
competitors We're few and the examination
practicable. He fell back on the old rule and
promoted those recommended by the chiefs of
divisions and heads of bureaus.

BY reference to our Franklin letter, it will be
seen i'll that town steps have been taken to en-
force the game law. We are glad to find such
action taken even in one town in this county.
The systematic violation of the game laws in
this county has become a notorious fact known
to all parts of the State. 1t is a disgrace which
the citizens of every town in the county should
exert themselves to remove and this can only
be done by united action. The yiolators Of
these laws are but very small proportion of
the population, but 4 strong public sentiment
against them, coupled with organized effort in
detecting and Furnishing every offender, no
matter what his social position may be, will be
necessary before the laws will be obeyed.
In Washington county the prosecution of
offenders has been so certain TO follow the
otfcnse that q healthy respect for the law has
resulted, and a similar result can easily be
attained in this county.
There should be no delay in taking the
necessary steps. 1t is the manifest duty Of
every good citizen to see that this law is en-
forced, but it is only by concerted effort that
the best result can be obtained Let us hear
from other towns in this county. Ellsworth

4 correspondent Of the Farmers Ad-
vocate says; "Some ten or twelve years
ago, an agricultural writer observed his
bull TO be free from lice, but not so the
rest Of his cattle; and thinking over the
matter, he came to the conclusion that
the habit Of paving dirt over himself
must have the effect Of keeping lice off
the bull, and he tried dry earth on the
rest of the cattle, with the best effect.
Ever since reading the above, have got
nothing but dry earth. and have found it

bors use, and the crops they get under
similar conditions, when his own fields
have not given good leturns. Further
more, test may be made by sowing
different varieties side by side. We do
not advocate testing many sorts, but do
enough of this experimental work to keep
abreast with the progress in the improve
ment of varieties. There are failures due
to the rayages OF insects, or to conditions
Of climate prevailing for the season. If
insects have been destructive, it is i'm
p0rtant to become acquainted with their
habits, that any and all means may be
taken to meet them In short, farming,
as now prohtably pursued, needs con
stant study, and during the comparative
leisure of the winter, every one should
review the past, and plan for better re-
suits in the future. American Agricult-
