A STRAWBERRY PATCH IN A BARREL-PersOns
who live in cities, and only have n small yard
where the sur shines, can have nice berries
enough for family without being troubled
with weeds. Take a hogshead or cask, and com
mence six inches from the bottom. and, with a
twO-ineh anger, bore it full of holes six inches
apart. Then tiill up by degrees, with rich dirt,
and rs you fill up set a strawberry root in the
dirt, with the crown or leaves out of the anger
hole, and when it is filed to the top yOu can set
a row around the top; but leave a hollow in the
centre, so that when you wash you can pour in
the soap suds or liquid manure, so that You can
force them to grow very large, and they will be
very nice and clean. 1t would be more durable
to have two or three iron hoops on the hogehead.
Parsley can be raised the same way. The above
is more useful than rustic stump in the yard

How to Serve Iced Tea.

Iced tea will soon be offered at supper and at
lunch. If you wish TO have it perfect and with
out the least trace Of bitter put the tea in cold
water hours before it is to be used; the delicate
flavor of the tea and abundant strength will be
extracted, and there will not be a trace-if one's
taste is the judge-of the fannie acid which
renders tea 50 often disagreeabe. You need not
use more than the usual quantity of tea. If it
is to be served at one o'clock, put it in water
soon after breakfast, and ice a few minutes be-
fore serving. The best way is to have ice broken
in pitcher, and put one lump in each glass

WHY BURN THE BRUsHi-Some men burn all
their brush from the trimmings of orchards,
lawn trees, or shrubs. Brush cut M fine and put
beneath shrubs and trees will add rapidly to
their growth as it rots. We put some thiekly
beneath a few trees on a poor sandy soil n few
ly stopped in their growth, as soon as this brush
began to decay they started ont fresh, and have
grown rs fast as other trees on tho same kind OF
soil have done, under which we spread at the
same time a moderate coating of stable manure.
1t is much better to utilize brush in this way
than to burn it. Vine-growers in Europe have
long thus used the cuttings of their grape vines
to mulch and fertilize them.

HoSEY.-Fully four-fifths of all the honey that
goes to the market, is slung from the combs by a
machine, called honey extractor, which con-
sists of n large tin containing a revolving
frame to hold the combs, and which removes the
honey from the cells by centrifugal force, the
same water is slung from the grindstone when
rapidly turned. Before the comb is put into
this machine, the cells are all uneapped by a
knife made made expressly for the business. By
this arrangement the honey is secured at great
saving of comb, which is put back again into
the hive to be again filled by the bees. The
comb or wax the bees make from honey, and il
has been determined that in making one pound
ofcomb they consume from ten to fifteen pounds
of honey in its production.

MOONLIGHT PICTURES.

q. moonlight, making pictures bright
Upon my parlor WALL
Thou bring-t to me a childish voice
A gentle, timid call
Of one who, with her little face
Pressed 'gainst the window pane,
Would call throughout the twilight tim
20, moonlight, come again,
And make bright pictures on my wall
And when the dropping trees
We're parted By the moaning winds
That came up from the seas,
And guivering bars Of silver light
Were moving DER the wall
The shadows Of the bough without,
And cen the blossoms. fall
She'd try to grasp those shining rays,
And, in that soft, bright light,
She looked as now-unseen she walks
With angels, robed in white.
l almost see her upturned face,
Her large and wondering eyes,
A-watching now the fieecy clouds
Go sailing up the skies.
j almost hear those childish words
They soothe my hearts deep pain
As clouds go drifting DER the moon,
%, pictures come again
o. whispering winds and sobbing seas,
listen-Dow she's dead:
Her little voice filed all my heart,
heard not what she said.
q, moonbeams. rest upon the grave
Where my blue-eyed baby sleeps;
But come not to the dreary walls
Wherein mother weeps.

VALUE OF MUsTARD.-Mustarti is one of the
most valuable plants for blowing under. 1t
grows as quick as any other crop, and If sown
thiekly will afford an excellent green manure in

able to grow as early as peas and as late as the
arrival of frost. To renovate with mustard, not
only one but successive crops can be Turned un-

ECHOES.
BY W. y. PABOR-

We listen late, we listen long,
To catch the &c hoes olden,
That iinaf across the sea of song,
From lands forever golden,
With memories Of happy DAYS.
Of tender thoughts and pleasant ways.
Fair shOne the sun along the slopes
As when, in days departed
We gathered all the blooming hopes
That made US happy hearted;
But never sun that slione so bright
As stars that light up meinory's night.
We sit in darkness and in doubt
We read the riddle over
But fear within and gloom without,
LIES changing pathway cover.
And each Thanksgiving season rOlls
Some wave of grief across our sOuls.
The years are passing. and our feet
Grow weary with their going;
The tides that part, the tides that meet,
Are still forever flowing;
But there are ships that sail across
The ocean Of uneOanted loss.
And in them, seeking unknown lands,
Loves venture lies: and faces
Are grouped in white and trembling hand
That once, ROBBED in lifs's gTaces,
Were hidden On some happy breast,
And, blushing, owned to being blest-
Come back, We cry-Jut faint and far
The echoes float out frum us;
Aud shining sun or twinkling star
Above a Land of promise,
But show the tangled paths that lead
To lands where hearts forever bleed
