The skipper of coal boat on the Bal
timore & Ohio Canal recently decided,
after mature elaboration and careful
consideration, to marry his cook, who
had been tried and faithful servant to
him for quite a number of his perilous
trips on the storm-lashed canal. So he
spoke to her about the matter one day,
and after securing her coy consent, he
ordered the boat tied up at small
town, and being practical skipper,
skipped up street after h parson. The
ouptial knot was soon tied,' the parson
beaten down to dollar and half for
his fee, and then he canal boatman
said:
"Well Melindy, we are married fur
keeps, now. We are hitched fur life,
and must pull together. I'm q little
short-handed to-day, and as that lead
mule has got saddle gals on his back,
you jist take the tow path, and lead him
down to Harper's Ferry, an I'll steer,

give you work on the boat without 60

The Sherman Diamonds.

It appears that the diamonds sent by
the khedive of Egypt to Gen. Sherman,
and of which so much has been said,
were finally sent, after many years of
anxiety and annoyance, to Tiffany. They
were taken from their crude Egyptian
setting, when it was discovered that
many of them were not the gems they
were supposed to be, but were worth al
together $50, 900 or more. Gen. Sher-
man has four dauehters-Miss Lizzie,
Mrs. Fitch, Mrs. Thackara and Miss
Rachel. The diamonds were divided
equally among the daughters-iour sets
of solitaire earrings and four necklets.
Still none of them have ever yet been
worn, SO great is the aversion of the
family to undue display.

Artificial Flowers Around a Pulpit.

A clergyman, who was supplying for
the day pulpit which was decked with
artificials," happened to bring into his
sermon an illustration on the growth of
the flower from the seed. To clinch the
illustration with the very best effect he
reached to q basket of flowers which
stood near the pulpit, and was about to
pluck from it pretty flower. "See,"
said he, "the rich colors of this dainty
flower. Note it's delicate fragrance. It
grew from a little seed, no larger than
the head of pin." just then, with
thumb aud finger, he laid hold of the
stem of the delicate, dainty and presum-
etlly fragrant thing, with view of re-
moving it from the basket and holding
it up to view. Great was his sudden
disgust to find the stem made of wire
enwrapped with green muslin. When
in the next moment the horrid revelation
dawned on his mind, that the whole bas-
ketful was lot of counterfeits, he look
ed as if green potato worms had sudden
" crawled upon him from out the pulpit
desk. The congregation smiled, and the
minister pushed on with his sermon as
best he could. Jtr>. @.~a Ia

VlOLETS..AND ASHES.
MINDLESS is the air.

MINDLESS is the air,
And heavy with the rain;
To the very dust
Our abject selves we thrust,
But alas! in vain,
For our hearts are chill
With the ceaseless sense of i'll,
Remorse doth mock our will,
And hollow is our prayer.
Vain for burning tears
Is our longing; vain
With our life our strife is,
For the future rife is
With our bliss or bane;
Patient, let us wait
Our abiding fate,
o. early come or late,-
The penitential years.
Ashes we may heap
On our heads, and wear
For our inward ache
Sackcloth to awake
Grief in our despair;
OF all things else bereft,'
This only is there left,
Beyond Times cunning theft
Our last, our longed sleep.
Gathered when rain-furled,
Drcnched, cold and wan
Bceezes sunny-soft
Through the apple croft
These violets shall fan;
Taey shall through the rain
L:ve--and not in vain
They shall peep again
Blue-eyed on the world.
They nor fail nor faint
All their little life;
Through the bitter days
Theirs is perfect praise,
With cOntentment rife:
Hopeful, they endure,
Sure Of death, and sure
OF resurrection pure
From all insect faint,
And, hCwe'er we CLOSE,
Our Old sins shall rise
Flowers with heavy head,
Scarlet, and still fed
With sweet sophistries.
Some erect and pied,
Others passion eyed
With the Haunting pride
That suffers no rcpose.
Let the SHOWS descend:
Let winding sheet,
Soft from foot to head
Hide that gaudy bed
With a covering meet;
Alb, pitiful pure snow,
Blot out the hated show,
And quench its fiery glow,
Our one, our only Friend!

Oh! daffodil open your 'balmy buds
In ruffies of vivid gold;
For softly the sweet rain spirits sigh
For your blossoms to unfold;
O! bravest bloom of the how'ry throng
The morn is here; though the night was long.
The cascades silvery trumpet calls
Oh! violet, sweet, awake!
Meath your wind-built tent of dead, brown leaves
Your long, deep slumber break;
In bower Of your own bright leaves arise
With your chalice bus as the April skies.
Oh! cowslip, lift your sunny head
From under it's leafy hood;
The mellow music Of south winds blows
In the depths of the budding wood;
And the breezy haunts Of the bluebirds ring
With the first rejoicing songs Of spring.
The beautiful May will soon be here:
The naples soon will burn
With scarlet bloom, where the shadbush shows
Der shady banks OF fern;
There, dar]ings, awake from your winter dresmr
10 the call OF the wind, the rain and streams.

Mixed Grasses for Pasture.

Much has been written during the past
few years about the desirabiIity of per-
manent pastures like those seen in Eng.
land, Holland, aud other European coun-
tries, where much attention is given to
dairyiug and where the land sustains a
large amount of stock. These famous
pastures, come OF which have not been
plowed for more than a century, are
marvels of beauty aud productiveness.
The sod is composed of large number
of grasses, which retain their place in
the soil for an exceedingly long time and
afford a succession of most desirable
stock food from the time vegetation starts
in the srring till the soil becomes frozen
on the approach of winter. In England
and Holland it is no uncommon thing
for an acre of pasture land to support q
large COW that is giving milk during
eight months of the year.
Experiments in forming and sustain
ing a permanent sod of mixed grasses
have not been as successful in the most
favored portions of this country as in
the British islands and the countries on
the European continent lying east of
them. In the more southern states
there has been a complete failure to
establish and sustain them. Iowa is an
excellent state for grass, the soil and
climate being alike favorable to its pro-
duction. As rule the climate of this
country is not favorable to the produc-
ton of many of the grasses that sue
coed well in some other countries. We
have severe heat and very dry weather
during a considerable portion of the
summer. A long continued drought is
liable to completely kill out some of the
more delicate varieties of grasses. The
winters, too, are often SO severe as to
cause the same effect. It is also true
that some of our grasses, like red ton
and blue grass, have SO great vitality
that in places where the soil and climate
are favorable to them they are liable to
crowd out, when they have become we'll
established, most other grasses, and to
take complete possession Of the soil.
The writer of this few years ago en-
deavored with little regard to trouble or
expense to establish permanent pro-
ductive sod on about three acres Of land
designed for lawn pasture on 4 farm q
few miles from the city. The soil was

Look After the Wagon Whcc,s.


The seve1est strain, in the cart or car
riage, comes upon the wheels. The fcl-
loes especially are exposed to alternate
mud and drouth, according to the pre-
vail!ng weather. The paint soon wears
of, and the wood absorbs the water from
every mud puddle through which the
vehicle is driven. In dry time the
wood shrinks and the tire gets loose.
The remedy is new setting of the tire,
and bill from the blacksmith. tt is
much cheaper to clean up the carriage
occaionally and give the wheels DRESS
ing Of linseed oil, as hot as it can be put
on. The wood will absorb a good deal
of the oil and will swell the rim so as to
make the tire tight. 1t will prevent the
rottipg of the wood and make lopg-lived
wheels. When the wheels have soaked
up all the oil they will take, put GU a
good coat Of paint. Agrj.

The Strings of S0nnd.
(Frnm the New York SIM


Violin, guitar and banjo strings and in
fact all sorts that come under the gener-
al head of ''gut" are made from the en-
trails of lambs and cattle, from the deli
cate threads used for sewing racket ball
covers up the half inch thick round belts.
After lamb is seven months old it's en-
trails are no longer fit for making strings
for vlolins; consequently this branch Of
the manufacture can only be carried on
few months in each year. Few people
have any idea Of the many uses to which
gut strings are now put. They ere used
to hold up clock weights, for betting, for
lacing on lawn tennis and racket bats,
for lacrosse scoops, for weaving fine
whip covers, for sowing covers on balls,
for jewelers. drills and for thousand
things, suppose, that even I do not
know of. All the work of making gut
strings is about the same but greater
care has to be exercised in prepar-
ing those intended for musical instru-
ments than others. The process OF manu-.
facturicg those is comparatively simple,
but far from easy. When the entraile,
for which good price has to be paid,
are thoroughly cleaned, they are split
with razor. Only one half is fit for
use in violin strings. That is the upper
or smooth half, the lower half is fatty.
rough, and of unequal thickness. The
strips are put through rollers turned by
hand for eight or niEe days, to take all
the stretch out Of them. Then they are
spun or twisted. Five or six strands go
to make an E string, eight or nine an A
string, and twenty are put into D
string. Then they go through bleach
ing bath of sulphur fumes. After that
they are twisted again. Then they are
soitened in pearlash water, again sui
jected to the action Of sui phur fumes,
twisted again, dried, and finally rubbed
down smooth with pumice stone. Alto.
gether it takes ten or eleven days to make
a string. When done, they are each
seventy-two inches long-four lengths
for violin-and thirty of them cooled
and tied together make up
the "bundle' of the trade. There is one
maker in Italy who, by some secret pro-
cess Of his Own, secures and guarantees
perfect accuracy throughout for every
string he makes. He does not make
more than sixty or one hundred bundles
a year, but his strings command $40 per
bundle here-cost that to the importer
while other italian strings are worth
only So TO 81 and others only $3.50.
