SIR JONES AND HIS RIDE.
BY MARGARET vANDEGR1FT.

Sir Jones he twisted his slight mustache,
And he gazed in The glass with pride,
s4And If it not, he said, g so hot,
! would take her this day to ride;
For she Is wealthy aid am poor,
And she is Iair TO see,
And gayly she laughs az my little jokes,
And sweeuy she smiles on me-"
sir Jones he pondered in thoughtful mood,
And he gazed in the mirror still,
Till at last right firmly he upstoOd,
And he said, "By st. George, l will
For sue hath ducats and I have none,
And she hath house SO brave,
While / in this garnet must pine alone,
A wooden-g oods-merchant's slave !"
Sir Jones he hired stately steed,
And o buggy both narrow and high,
And he drove to the lady's door with speed,
And waited for her reply;
For it was a legal holiday,
Ycept the Fourth of July.
The lady graciously said him yea,
And she decked herself in white,
And he dashed the steed, and they went with speed,
Until they were out of sight,
And what he said will never be known,
Nor yet what she replied,
But he brought her back on that self-same track,
From very short half-hour's ride.
Sir Jones he gazed from his window high,
And his face sad to see,
And he ground bis teeth that Fourth of July,
Saying I" Curst shall this holiday bel
Yea. ever henceforth this Fourth of July
Shall be q black-letter day,
For she said me nay. with scorn in her eye,
And for the steeG and the tall buggy
Must whole weeks salary pay J"

When covered to the depth of an inch,
only about one-half the seed will ger
inmate, and, if covered with two inches,
there will be DO growth. The kinds
thus experimental with we're red and
white clover, timothy, and orchard
grass.
CRAFTS set early in spring should not
be injured 10y shoots and suckers spring
ing up from the stock about them. As
soon as the graft shows that it is alive,
rub off all these sprouts or shoots. If
the graft should happen to die, leave the
strongest shoot to grow for regrafting
and rub off all the rest, The same at
tention must be given to buds which
were inserted last summer and the stock
cut off this spring.
LATE-CUT hay, ordinary straw and
other coarse folders are unquestionably
improved by cooking, as it softens the
woody fiber and dissolves portions of
the starch; and corn-meal and other
foods rich in starch are also improved by
cooking. But in considering the ques-
ton of economy, altgough this will pay
on large scale, it is not likely to do so
for few animals, for it costs nearly as
cattle.
FINELY cut raw onions are recon-
mended for young chicks, to prevent the
pips. Feed each day. Tincture of iron
few drops, Ill their drinking water, is
also good for them. One poultry keeper
recommends feeding them occasionally
with bread crumbs soaked in vinegar.
Give them broken oyster shells, char
coal, sand and ash bath, and keep their
perches and nests clean, and use the
whitewash brush frequently about the
hen house. Farmer.
PERSONS who only plant cabbage and
tomato plants for home use, can prevent
injury from the cut-worm thus: Take
smooth writing paper, cut strips of sufi
cient width to wrap the plants single,
and above five inches long, wrap each
plant in one of these strips of paper and
fasten with mucilage or common paste,
not too tight. Set you plants so deep
that one inch of this wrap comes below
the soil and four inches above. This
protection will last sufficiently long for
the plants to become hard and stiff and
the cut worm is effectually headed off.
Try it !-IoaOa State Register.
SWEDISH clover stands between the
red and white varieties in respect to size
and can be converted into hay better
than either Of them. The failures with it
have chiefly resulted from sowing the
seed ON soil unsuited to the growth Of
the plant. 1t does best on quite moist
soils, where neither white nor red clover
does WELL Soil on which red top does
well is admirable for Swedish clover.
1t seems to require permanent moisture.
An Iowa farmer who has been expert
menting with it pronounces it superior
to both common red and mammoth
clover for food for hogs. He prefers
raising it in field adjoining hog pas
ture, cutting it every day and taking it
to the yard, to allowing it to be eaten off
in pasture. He says it will yield four
crops. per year and that hogs will eat
every portion of the stalks if they are
cut at about the time the blossoms APP

The latest snake story comes from
Georgia is thus told by the Rome Bulle-
tin: "The other day certain young
lady in Rome started out shopping.
While putting on her hat she thought it
felt rather heavy, but not noticing any
thing put it on her had. On her return
home she asked her sister to take off hor
hat, that she thought something was on
it. Her sister took off her hat, and
and while doing so came near being bit
ten by snake. The lady had worn the
snake around with her all the time, I'M
conscious of its presence"

The Extinction of Families.

Families frequently die out in real life
in a manner which would be thought an
extravaganza reach of the imagination In
a fiction. There is an English squire
at this moment whose father was the
youngest of seven brothers; the present
squire has been married twenty years,
but is childless; so is his next brother,
and his youngest brother died unmarried
at q. A baronet who died some years
ago, lost two sons by a boating accident.
He sent the one survivor to Harrow in
stead of Eaton, as there is no river at
the former place, but the boy was
drowned in small pond, known as a
duck puddle. The family is extinct.
In 1858 died the Scottish chief, The
Chisholm, whose grandfather in 1777,
entailed his estate on his five sons, and
failing their and their heirs, on his
brothers and their issue, and failing
them, on Archibald Chisholm, eldest son
of Chisholm of Muckrath. In 1853. the
descendant, residing in this country, of
the last, came into the property. The
present earl of Breadalbane inherited
that title and the finest seat In Scotland
from thirteenth cousin. The Earl of
Chesterfield, is about fifth cousin of the
late earl. Mr.. Palmer, long member for
Berks, was one of very wealthy family
of four sons and four daughters, none
married. The sons are all dead and one
venerable sister holds the great estate.
The late millionaire Duke OF Portland
and his three brothers all lived to ma
turity, and died single. Numberless
other cases might be mentioned. The
same thing occurs here b11t in F,npIand
it Is easier to "keep the run " of it.

A CASE of interest, as showing the
strength of tradition among the Jews, is
that of one of the race on Long Island
who has succeeded, after along struggle,
law suit and the Intervention of con
stables, in placing stone over his wife's
grave with her portrait carved thereon.
1t was held by the trustees of the ceme-
terry that the widower's procedure was in
violation of the ancient tradition, which
forbids one to make craven image. But
the court sustained the widower's right
and gave him means to enforce it.

portland Montgomery GUARDS.

The Montgomery Guards returned home
Saturday night much delighted with the re-
ception accorded them in Providence
The Providence Journal says: Along the
route Of march, the steady bearing and soldierly
appearance of both commands invited critical
attention, and the set-up, uniform alignment
and easy swing which indicated careful drill
and thorough discipline in the ranks of the
Montgomerys wefo especially admired by the
military gentlemen, as we'll as hundreds of
citizens. 1t would be invidious to attempt any
criticism and it is only necessary to say that
two crack companies, thoroughly drilled and
disciplined, gave one of the finest displays ever
witnessed in this city or vicinity. The COM
mands then marched from the field and took
passage on the o'clock boat for the city.
Upon the parade the military escort appear
ed as independent organizations complimentary
to the Meaghers, the Slocums wearing their
white bearskins, and the Train, as usual, dom
ming their snowy uniforms. The other COM
panies appeared in the State uniform, having
no distinctive style of dress. The sidewalks
were crowded with spectators attracted by the
military pageant, which, in point of numbers
and appearance. has had few equals in the
history of military receptions. The marching
and alignment of all the companies was espe-
cially prais- worthy, and the wheelings called
for pleasant recognition at Market square, each
company presented an unbroken front at the
pivotal movement. The march Up Wesmins-
ter street was continued ovation to the
Montgomerys, whose step and carriage were
the theme of conversation and complimen tary
criticism. The Meaghers came in for gener-
Gus share of popular favor, their natty attire
and steady movements proving irresistibly at
tractive.
The evening entertainment prepared for the
Montgomerys was inaugurated with vocal
| and instrumental concert at Infantry Hall.
There was large and brilliant assemblage,
