ONLY BOZ

Only boy, with his noise and fun,
The veriest mystery under the sun;
As brimfu of mischief aud wit and glee
As ever human frame can he,
Aud as hard to manage as-ah ah me!
IT'S hard to tell,
Yet we love him we'll.
Only boy, with his fearless tread,
Who cannot be driven but must be led,
Who troubles the neighbours dogs and cats,
And tears more clothes and spOils more hats,
Loses more tops and kites and bats,
Than would stock S ore
For year or more.
Only q boy, with his wild, strange ways,
With his idle hours on busy days;
With his queer remarks and his odd replies,
Sometimes foolish and sometimes wise,
Often brilliant for one of his size,
As a meteor hurl'd
From the pleasant world.
Only boy, who will be man,
If nature goes Oh with her first great plan
If waer, or fire, or some fatal snare
Conspire not to rob us of this our heir,
Our blessing, our trouble, orr rest, our care,
Our torment, our joy
Only BOY.

The Grain Crops Of 1882.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
By the latest figuring of the agri-
cultural bureau at Washington it is
reported the corn crop Of 1882 is
placed at 1885, 100000 bushels, and
the yield Of wheat at 10000, 0O0
bushels. These estimates may be ac-
cepted as probably nQtflfM from the
amounts which will be shown by the
official aud final returns, and the re-;
suits are highly encouraging, Consid-
erirfg the fears which were freely ex-
pressed for the corn crop in the early
part Of last summer it appears from the
agricultural bureaus data to have been
exceptionally good. Up to 1879 the
maximum yield of Indian corn in this
country (Which occurred in that YEAR
was 1,547 ,901, 900 bushels. Last
years crop, by the above estimate, ex-
ceeds that of 1879 by 100000
bushels, and falls only about POI ,000,.
COO under the crop of 1880. 1t fully
iusiifes the pred lotion which the Her
aid made as early as August I'd tha
the estimates then made of the proba

60, 600, 900 more than that of 1879
and 80, 900, 900 more than that of 1880
The past year will, therefore, be mem

many; but when you want to get your
grandest idea of a queen you think of
the plain woman who sat opposite your
father at the table, or walked with him

times to the thanksgiving banquet
sometimes to the grave, but always to-
gether, soothing your petty griefs, cor
recting your childish waywardness,
joining u your ipfautile sports lisle,s
lug to your evening prayers, toiling for
you with needle or at the spinning
wheel, and on cold nights wrapping
you up snug and warm. And then,
at last, when she ay in that b k
room dying, and you saw her take
those thin hands, with which she had
toiled for you so long, and put them to-
gether in dying prayer that com
mended you to the God whom she had
taught you to trust-oh, she was the
queenl The chariots of God went
down to fetch her; and as she went in
all heaven rose up. You cannot think
of her now without rush of tender
ness that stirs the deep foundation Of
your soul, and you feel as much child
again as when you cried on her lap;
and if you could bring her back again
to speak once more your name just AS
tenderly as she used to speak it, you
would be willing to throw yourself on
ON the ground and kiss the sod that
covers her, crying: Mother! mother"

Cheap transportation.

Southern Farmers Monthly.
We fully agree with the Railway
Age in the following, except that the
problem has been solved by the reduc'
tons referred to. That problem will
not be solved, in our opinion, until
railroad transportation is reduced to the
minimum and proportioDed to the cost
of water transportation. When the
railroads cease to oppose the interest of
the producer by fighting against water
transportation, and use their energy and
capital to chedpen material and con-
struction so as to approach nearest to
the cost of water transportation, then
the problem will be solved. The pro-
ducers do net expect their freight to be
handled without cost, but they have a
right to complain when they see fabu-
lous fortunes carved out of their labor
and industry by the stroke Of pen.
Legitimate profits they are ready to
concede, but wholesale robbery they
are preparing to resist, if need be, with
all the means in their power But to
the comments of the Age:
"The great problem of modern times
is undoubtedly that of cheap transpor-
tation. The rapid increase in the guam
tity of freight to be moved, the open
ing up of new sections for settlement,
necessitating longer hauls, and the cl ,sel
competition in all forms of business,
make it imperative that the cost O
moving this merchandise and produce
be reduced to the minimum. How vas
the increase in the amount of freigh
offered for carriage may be inferred
from a few items only. The corn crol
this year is estimated at one Thousand
six hundred and eighty million bushel
against one thousand two hundred mil
lion bushels in 1881. The wheat crol
Of 1882 is estimated OF five hundred
million bushels, against three hundre,
and eighty million bushels IN 1881
The number of tons of freight tran:
, ported on fifteen of the leading rail
roads of the United States during th
last fiscal year was ninety-seven millio
tons, against eighty-four million tons /
the previous. year, an increase Of MOI
than fifteen per cent. When we r.
e member how immense the volume
freight was during 1882 the increase
y startling.

Speed the PlOw.

Now of all times in the year is the
best eeason for breaking up land, and
the farmer who fails to take advantage
of the opportunity, will regret it all the
balance of the year, In the first place,
the soil ii in good filth, fslible, and
hence easily broken. In the second
place the ground will certainly freeze
several times between now and spring
planting, which is as necessary to
good crop as breaking up. The cold
acts benefcially 10 several ways. 1t
destroys the grub, most important.
factor Of success IN farming, The stub
bic with its roots have time TO rot, and
the mechanical effects Of freezing, such
as disintegration Of the soil, breaking
down old clods and loosening up the
earth. Nor is this all freezing does:
1t triturates the particles Of slick and
other insOluable components of the soil
and puts them in shape they may be
taken up by the rootlets Ton plant food.
Certainly there are arguments enough
to set the pillow going instead Of await
ing the spring when every sort of farm
work is ON hand AZ once. The farmer
aside from repairs and getting wood,
has but little else to do now, and when
he can pillow it should be done, for all
the other kinds Of work can be done
when it is too cold or wet to pillow.
Another good reason is, it lessons by
half the trouble Of keeping a clean crop
next summer; by breaking now, weeds
come up earlier and are thus destroyed
by the nee essary preparations to plant.
If deferred until spring the farmer can
not plant grass or clover land in coru
until after cut.worm time passes, as
those beastes would soon destroy his
labor. Then, as before said, the plow-
ing could not be done half so well on
account Of the great hurry that nat
urally comes on him at that time, and
his land will sureI y not get so well pre-.
pared, hence short crop.
Many farmers intend to break land
up in the winter, but defer it for Que
purpose or another without being aware
