SEPARATION.
BE JESSIE F. o DoNNELL

Dear, tender hands that somewhere on GODS
earth
Seem cold and empty, barred from clasp of mine;
o hands that would have chung to me in dearth
Of other help-my hands have need OF thine!
Strong hands! that would have helped me in my
need,
That never would have thrust me careless by;
Kind hands know that many loving deed
Would cheer my weary day, were you but Nigh
Sometimes dream, dear hands, that once again
The magic of yoLr touch may thrill my heart
The ioy If meeting exercise my pain;
Fen though again our lonely paths should part
No more Would not the clasp of hands unlock
The silent portals of the lips and words
Passionate words, so long representation aock
To speech-as breaks the dawn with song OF olrds!
All dear L could not bear it. Sundered vide
Our paths still lie. Why should we tryto reach
Across the gulf; why let the pent-up tide
OF silent years break forth in useless speech'
And SO [ rray, dear hands, that touch OF thine
Shall ne'er before sweet Deaths triumphant hour,
With soft caress touch cheek or hand of mine
Until / lie too cold for passions power
Then once Just once, dear hands, when mine are
cold,
And stir not at your coming, gently take
The frozen fingers in your living hold,
An instant. clasp them for the OLD troth's sake.

Pope LEO XIII. is by no means an
idle man. He rises very early, and after
several hours of private devotion is al
ways present at thefrst mass, celebrated
at Z "A. M. At s he takes cup of cho-
,colate mixed with coffee, and reads the
letters and dispatches that have arrived
for him. At9 he receives the secretary
of state. and afterward projects and sec
retaries of congregations in rotation. At
noon his holiness receives the princes
and ambassadors. At l o'clock he goes
to prayer and devotional reading, after
which he takes very frugal dinner. 1t
is calculated that though the pope re-
eeives something like 81, 800, 600 annual
" for the expenses Of the holy see, his
own food only costs about fifty cents a
day, everything included.

that it is custom in offices in that coun-

state whether the escUlent should be raw
or not, but the probability is that it is
not boiled. The use of the potato is to
clean steel pens, and generally act as
pen-wiper. 1t removes all ink crust, and
gives q peculiarly smooth flow to the
ink. He also states that the Hamburg
clerks pass new pens two or three times

Wolves in Russia.

A statistical report lately addressed
to the Russian Minister Of the Inte-
riOr estimates the damage done by
the wolves in fOrty-fve European
governments of Russia, during the
year 1873, at 100000 rubles. The
governmental Samara was set down
as the greatest sufferer, to the extent
of 6J0,OOO rubles; next came VogOl-
da, at $50, 600 rubles, and so on, The
Polish and Baltic province and Arch
angel came off best. But competent
judges consider this estimate Of WOLF
ish mischief as much too low. 1t is
calculated on the basis of a low aver
age value for all Russia, as if the
price of an OK or sheep was about the
same everywhere throughout the
Empire. 1t also sets the absolute
amount of mischief at far too low a
figure, Probably l5,OOO,OO ruhles or
l2,50O,OOO, would more nearly repre-
sent the value Of the domestic ami
mails annually destroyed by them.
The reindeer alone killed in Siberia
would represent a high figure. Then
there is loss Of human Lille, which
can never be accurately known. In
1875 the police reported one hundred
and sixty-one persons killed by tue
wolves.

A Possibility of the Future.

On more than one occasion during
the last 5000 years the harbaric
hordcs Of the East have OvCrAowcd
their boundaries AMI have swept
westward, overwhelming the young
civilization Of Europe, and oblitera-
ting nearly all the landmarks Of
western art and progress; and at the
present time, if we may credit the
Pekin correspondent Of one of the
Calcutta papers, there is in China a
powerful and rapidly growing party
that advocates the making Of yet an
other gigantic excursion toward the
land Of the setting sun. The Ccles-
tial empire is no doubt, immensely
overpopulated, and will probably ere
long seek some new outlet for her
surplus citizens; but it Is difficult to
believe that she will attempt, save
by peaceful means, to attain the de-
sired result. The great unknown
country has been quiesccnt for 50
long that is almost impossible for a
European to contemplate that the
sleeping myriad5 should ever again
put forth their Herculean strength.
Yet, il China were to awake il she
were to look westward with cOvet-
Gus glance, and were once more to
burst her bonds, in response to that
mysterious impulse which in the east
occasionally seizes upon a whole peo-
pie, how could she be resisted? d? Ac-
cording to the last edition of The
Bevolkerung der Erde has a popula-
tion of 434,OOO,OOO; and, supposing
that cstimate-fOr it is only an esti-
mate-to be even approximately cor
rect, China could put into the field
more soldiers than there are souls in
Germany; and II she so willed,
could, with host Of eighty millions,
tramAle all the civilization Of Europe
beneath her feet.--&. James Gazette,

chip Dirt for Fruit Trees.

The best fertilizer in use in setting
fruit trees of all kinds is partially or
thoroughly decomposed chip dirt.
We made use Of the material for the
first time some twenty years ago, in
planting an apple orchard, and it
was a wonder to those not in the
secret what caused the trees tomake
such fine growth the first season,
and afterwards, too, for that matter.
The experiment was so satisfactory
that when we set our new orchard
we made liberal use of this material
with the same satisfactory result.
These trials have proved to our sat
isfaction that chip dirt is the very
best material to mix in the soil as
you plant the tree that can possibly
be used, for the reason that it holds
moisture and is full of the elements
of plant food; therefore, it promotes
a most luXuriant, natural and healthy
growth. Repeated trials have satis-
fled me that tree is not only more
sure to live, but will make double the
growth the first year (especiallyif if n
dry season. if some two bushels of
chip dirt are properly used in its
setting, that it would without it. A
single trial will convince the most
skeptical that the best possible use
which can be made of this valuable
material is to apply it to the soil in
planting trees, in order to push for
ward the tree during the firstprecar-
iOus stages Of its growth.
