Dropping Corn.

Pretty Fhebe Lane and I,
In the soft May weather,
Barefoot down the furTows went
Dropping corn together.
Side by side across the field,
Back and forth we hurried;
All the golden grains We dropped
Soon the plowshare buried.
Bluebirds on the hedges sat,
Chirping low and billing:
"Why," thought /, "not follow suit,
If the maid is willingI'
So whispered, "Phebc, dear,
Kiss me"-"Keep on dropping"
Called the father from the pillow.
There's no time for stopping.''

A Beautiful Terror.

The Italian journals relate that the EN-.
virons of Oantazaro, Calaoria, are infes.
ted by band of brigands under the
command of young woman. She is
only twenty years old, and of great
beauty. Her name is Maria, the wild.
ow of Pietro Monico, bandit chief,
who was killed in an encounter with
the gendarmes AT his death she sci
zed his carbine and swore to avenge
him. Some time after, young man,
the son of wealthy farmer, fell in
love with her, and joined her band in
order TO be able to prosecute his suit.
He was, however, peremptorily reject
ed, and in order to revenge himself he
betray ed her to the authorities. She
was arrested, tried and sentenced to
thirty years Imprisonment. While un-
dergoing her punishment warder, be-
coming enamored of her, favored her
escape, and accompanied her, but was
stabbed to death by her orders imme-
diately after she had rejoined her band.
Since that period she has become still
more redoubtable, her audacity and ac-
tivity having redoubled, and she has
made herself the terror of the country.
She burns barns, carries off cattle, and
levies forced contributions. The slight.
est disobedience to her orders is pun
ished by death. Her troop is numer-
Gus, and always well informed by the
peasantry through dread of ven
geance.

What Makes Sheep Profitable.

1t may be noticed that there is a
saving on the farm effected by keeping
sheep. They are excellent foragers,
and are not dainty in their choice of
food. The newly sprouted weeds, and
obnoxious grasses and tender shoots of
shrubbery are palatable to them, and
they thus keep down many plants that
would otherwise be troublesome to
farmers, as well as converting into
marketable flesh and wool much that
would not only be lost, but also which
could not be otherwise economical by
the farmer in any other way. 1t is this
that partly makes them profitable, for
every item saved in the expense of
keep, provided such economy is not
falsely practiced, is so much added to
the gain. Sheep should not only be
utilized in every possible way, but also
must be kept growing and fattening at
the proper time, so as 10 derive every
possible result in the matter of profit
Our common sheep are active, and, be-
ing native, are acustomed to the sec
tions in which they exist, and for that
reason it is much better for farmers to
breed from them with thoroughbred
rams than to attempt at once on the
venture of whole flock of thorough
breds, as it requires pastures adapted
TO the purposes IN view, and also care
in sheltering and system in feeding.

A Olergyman's Mistake.

The rector of st. Gaorge's Church,
Southwark, England, recently fell into
a laughable blunder. A lady who was
a deaf mute and a gentleman who was
a foreigner, and unable to speak Eng
lish, came to him for the purpose of be
ing married. The Clergyman, after
much difficulty made out the object of
their visit, as he supposed, and appoin'
ted a day for the performance of the
ceremony in church. He in fact under
stood that they wished to be baptized,
and on the day set had provided the
requisite number of godfathers and god
mothers to answer for them. The reg
ular baptismal service was used over
them they were asked if they renoun-
ced the devil and all his works, and
duly signed with the sign of the cross.
Though the service was rot as much as
they expected, they supposed it was the
newest way of solemnizing matrimony,
and departed, imagining themselves
man an wife. The next day the rector
received from them package contain
ing a piece of the wedding cake and a
little note OF thanks from the couple,
Horrified at the discovery of the mis-
take, the clergyman rushed to the hoteI
where they were staying, explained the
matter as best he could and hurried
them back to the church, when they
were married this time in due and an
cient form.

delight in his memory. The very beauti-

The Value of Sods,

Sods are the cream of the soil, CON
tanning the very elements of plant food
that make soil so productive. When
properly rotted this material makes one
of the best invigorators to be found Tor
trees, vines, vegetables and cereals and
is one of the most readily and cheaply
obtained fertilizers in use. Sods may
be gathered from the fence corners of
titled fields, gathered from the surface
after plowing and narrowing sward
land, and in many places from the
road side when the highways is under
going repairs. To utilize sods and Sc
cure from them their best fertilizing
effects, they should be gathered and
piled up in some out-of-the-- way place,
and the whole covered with ashes or
chip dust, or both, to keep the grass
from growing. A year or two will be
required for them to thoroughly decay
unless cut down and shoveled over
after laying long enough for the grass
to be entirely killed out. Water should
be applied at intervals, sufficient to
keep the pile moist and prevent dry,
moldy rot. The best way to provide
for the wetting down is to leave the
top cupping and apply the water
abundantly there in dry time. To
get such lot of good material in the
best shape for applying to crops we
would advise mixing it with good, we'll

two loads of it to one of the manure,
then spread it broadcast on grass and

Fast Eating.

Mastication performed in hast ', says
an exchange, must be imperfect, even
with the best of teeth, and due admix-
ture of the salivery secretion of the
food cannot take place When crude
mass OF inadequately crushed musular
fiber or undivided solid material of
any description, is thrown iGto the
stomach, it acts as mechanical irri.
tant, and sets up a condition in the
mucous membrane lining which greatly
impedes, If it docs not altogether pre-
vent, the process of digestion. When
the practice of eating quickly and fill
ing the stomach with unprepared food
is habitual the digestive organ is ren.
dered incapable of performing its proper
functions. Either much larger guam
tity of food than would be necessary
under natural conditions, is required, or
the system suffers for the lack of nour-
ishment. Those animals which were
intended to feed hurridly were either
gifted with the power of rumination, or
provided with gizzards. Man is not so
furnished, and it is fare to assume that
he was intended to eat slowly We
must apologize for reminding our read
ers of facts so familiar; but we do this
in the hope that any who chance to
have influence with the man
ayers of large hotels where dinners @
Ia table q hote are in vogue, will take
measures to bring about much needed
reform in which these entertainments
are conducted. AT the best aud most
frequent establishments in places of
fashionable resort, where multitudes of
health seekers are wont to congregate,
the hurried dinners are not only causes
of annoyance, but actually go far to
prevent the benefit which should be
derived from a change. No sooner is
one course served than another is intro
duced, without giving the guest time
to digest or even swallow the first.
The eagerness to secure good dividends
takes particularly mischievous form,
when it plies food on the plate of a
customer and compels HIM to consume
it breathlessly. The matter may seem
a small one, but it is not so. Just as a
man may 60 on for years, with defect
i've teeth, imperfectly masticating his
food, and wondering why he suffers
from indigestion, so man may habit
ually live under ar infiction of hurried
dinners, and endure the consequent
loss of health, without knowing why he
is not well, Or w..easily the cause of
his illness might be remedied.

ty, unless when all is over they come

this has been wrong act. In that
