COME, GylTTLE SPRING.
BY s. A BUrTERFIELD, N. d.

Come, gentle spring. we've waited long
Through dresry winters ice and snow;
And long 10 hear the blue-bird's song,
And feel thy soft-winged zephyr's blow.
Haste thou, coy maiden. 70 our vale
To beeutify our dreary bowers;
And hush the north winds dismal wall,
And paint the landscape DER with flowers.
Unlock the fetters of the rills,
With which old winter checked their fow;
And clothe with versure wales and hills,
That long lay csrpeted with snow.
And let the warm suns golden sheen
The earth's long dormant life renew;
The forests clothe in robes OF green,
That lend enchantment to the view.
Then we shall hear the songs again
0fmerry ploughmen at their toll,
In that enchAntin rural strain,
Betting tillers of the soil.
Bid ev'ry laughing stream rejoice.
AS It goes dancing to the sea.
And sings with duloet murm' ring voice,
The praises of our God and thee.

A PRESIDENTS ESCAPE.
how He Intended to Eat Buck wheat Cakes
with Mrs. Sickles When Key shot.
[Pittsburg Commercial Gazette

[Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
James Buchanan, when President, had a
very narrow escape from being mixed up in
the Sickles-Key scandal. When Buchanan
was Minister TO England Sickles was his
Secretary of Legation. Mrs. Sickles was
from PeEnsyl vania, and was one of Buchan-
ans pets. He thought as much of her as be
would of his own daughter. When he be-
came President, Buchanan was very init
mate with the Sickles family. Whenever
be was tired he had the habit of slipping
out of the White House and walking
through Lafayette Park for a chat
with General Sickles and his wife. The day
before Key was shot was Saturday. Satui-
day morning Mrs. Sickles came over to the
White House and called upon the President
Buchar an was very fond of buckwheat
cakes. Mrs. Sickles called on him
to- tell him that she had re-
celved some very nice buckwheat
-four from Pennsylvania, and that she was
going to have some hot cakes for their Sun
day breakfast at the Sickles residence She
invited the President TO come over to break
fast. He, beguiled by his love for the
heated slapjack, rap.urously consented.
Harriet Lane was then mistress Of the
White House. When she heard OF
the invitation she advised the Pres

tn give a reason for declining to go to the
breakfast. Said she: II do not care to give
my reason. Act upon my judgment and
you will decline" Buchanan was more
Impressed by her manner than by her words
When the tragedy took place Buchanan
fairly shuddered at his escape. If he hao

How He Missed It.

In the San Francisco Wasp the reasons
"Why Roman wss not Elected" were
given as follows:
Coriolanus noble Roman.
Wouldn't give the voters tsfy:
Wouldn't tell 'em they were brilliant;
wouldn't tell 'em they were valiant;
wouldn't kiss the Roman babies;
Said he'd see their dads in hades
Ere he'd buss the dirty youngsters
OF a horde of swelling bungsters;
Said no Office he would fawn for;
No. his toga he'd first pawn for
What he needed; no. he wouldn't
Give 'em tafy; no. he shouldn't.
Thus IL the noble Roman,
Fearless, peerless Coriolanus.
Just as might have been expected,
Never Came to be elected.

What Romeo Might Have Done.

Here we have one of Mrs. Kemble's con-
TRAITS. Romeob is said to be the love of
sentiment, and Juliet's that of passion. To
Us this seems distinction without differ
ence. That love is of deepest and strongest
which makes no out sign, which is content
to suffer, to work, nay, to be forgotten by
its object. But the love of sentiment or
passion betrays itself in such words and acts
as are recorded both of Romeo and Juliet.
We are not at all sure that if Romeo were
to marry Juliet, and live, say, in Hartford
street, Mayfair, he would not be found three
months after his marriage playing billiards
at his club, instead of sharing his wife's
company.

Economy Of Thresliing Oats.

Now that our farmers have gone 40
largely into tho cultivation of oats. we
desire to give them few practical hints
in regard to its economic use. The old
style plan of feeding in the sheaf is
wasteful in the extreme, as any farmer
can ascertain who takes the troubls TO
observe. One hundred pounds Of sheaf
oats of fair quality will thresh out sixty
eight pounds of shelled oats, all weighing
thirty-two pounds as the standard weight
for bushel this would make two
bushels and four pounds of grain. In
feeding sheaf oats, 25 pounds to the
mule or horse per day, is what is consid.
cred proper allowance. fur en- ANNA!
doing steady farm work. This 25 pounds
of sheaf oats contains II pounds of
shelled oats. equal TO n half bushel and
one pound over, which, though entirely
LOO much grain, yet it IL necessary to
give this much in the sheaf to allow for
the waste occasioned by this manner of
feeding, as the animal is sure to loose
much OF the grain while biting at or
chewing upon the straw. In feeding
sheiied oats, from six to eight quarts is
ample for pleasure or road horse. and a
peck and half or twelve quarts. which
Is equal TO twelve pounds, is liberal
daily feed for horse or mule engaged at
hard ploughing. 1t will thus Be seen
that feeding shelled oats involves saving
OF five pounds per day, as against feeding
IN the sheaf, which is equal to q saving
Of little more than one fourth on eyerv
bushel.
Now as the toll for threshing is only
one'tenth, and as the straw, if properly

long forage after thrcshing rs before, it
can readily be seen how great is the econ.
omy OF feeding the shelled oats over the
waste!"i plan of feeding in the shcaf.
An economy which involves the saving
OF twenty-five bushels out Of one hun.
dred, is something worth considering,
ana therefore we trust the readers of the
Aiken Recordcr, will ponder upon these
substantial facts and profit by them.
AT one time there existed in this sec.
tlon prejudice against oats as food for
working animals, it being claimed that
1t was not strong enough and therefore
corn was better. Never did there exist q
greater fallacy. Oats is the best grain in
the world for horses, as it abounds in
those elements which give strength and
health TO tho animal without heating his
blood as the constant use of Indian corn
is more than apt to do. While We ad.
vocate an occasional change of food for
the horse or mule, we are constrained to
believe that no cereal is SO nutritive and
wholesome for constant diet AZ clean
shelled oats. We hope therefore that
our farmers will increase the acreage
year by year given to this valuable
cereal, and that they will economic in
its use, by having every bundle shellcd
carefully and preserving every pound of
straw.-Aiken Recorder.

The Solid Content q Farmer Has.
Bill Arp IN atlanta Constitution.

DW Arp IN atlanta Constitution.
Farming is slow way to make mon.
ey, but then there is law of compensa-
tion about everything in this life, and
farming has its blessings that other pur-
suits do not have. The farmer belongs
to nobody. lie is the freest man upon
earth and the most independent. He
has more latitude and longitude. He
has house in the country with plenty
of pure air and good water. If he makes
but little in the field, he has no occasion
to spend but little. He can raise his
own hogs, and sheep, and cattle and
chickens. His wood costs nothing, and
the luxury of big backlogs and blazing
fires in open fire.places all winter long is
something that city people long for, but
cannot afford. My own farm costs me-
$1,000. have 120 avrcs OF open land
in condition. and 1t yields me on an
average about five dollars an acre over all
expenses. Say nine per cent. upon the
Investment. Well, that is mighty little,
considering my own labor md supervis.
ion. I've seen the time when I made
FIVE times as much without any capital
except my head. But then we have to
keep pair of horses to ride around and
they have to be fed from the farm.
There are little leaks around, but still
we are happier on the farm than we were
in the town, and fesl moro secure from
the ills of life. We fear no pestilence or
disease, no burglars or thieves. We lock
no doors, and Mrs. Arp has quit looking
under the bed for man. Ifoye to hear
the churn dasher splashing in the butter
milk love to hear the rooster crow and
the peacock holler, and see the martins
sailing around the martin gourds. love
to take the children to the water.mill
and fish below the dam amid the roar of
falling waters, or paddle around the pond
in an old leaky bateau. Hove to wander
through the woods and glades, and wear
old clothes that can't get no older or dir
tier, and get caught in shower OF rain
if want to. Old man Horace remarked
about 1000 years ago thet the town was
tho best place for rich man to live in,
and the country was the best placs for q
poor man to die in, and inasmpch as
riches were uncertain and death was
sure, it becomes prudent man to move
to the country as soon as he can get
there. Farmers have their ups and
downs of course, but they don't collapse
and burst up like tradesmen. They
don't go down under panic.
