NANCY.

In brown holland apron she stood in the
kitchen;
Her sleeves were rolled up, and her cheeks
all aglow;
Her hair was coiled neatly; when I, indiscreet'

Now, who could be neater, or brighter. or

Or who hum q song so delightfully."- low.
Or who look so slender, SO graceful, SO tender,

How deftly she pressed it, and squeezed it, ca

Twas my heart she was kneading as well as
the dough.
Atlast when she turned for her pan to the
dresser,
She saw me and blushed. and said shyly
"Please, go,

II you stand here and watch while I'm
kneading the dough-"
begged for permission to stay.--She'd not lis

The sweet little tyrant said. "No. sir ! no

SCENE IN A NEGRO MAGISTRATES Or
FICE.-A gentleman from Arlington dis
trict, in Alexandria county, who was in
the city to-day, gives an amusing account
of trial which took place there before
negro magistrate. He says that short
time ago family of negroes who live in
one of his houses was assaulted by crowd
of negro men and women, and on their
taking refuge in the house it was lombard
ed with rocks and other missiles. The next
day warrants were sworn out against the
assailants, who were arrested by negro con-
stables and taken before negro magistrate
for hearing The trial, the gentleman
says, surpassed anything he ever witnessed
in a magistrates Office. The case had
hardly begun before the negro woman on
trial objected to the whole aft .ir and openly
abused the esquire" charging him with
living in adultery with five or six women
and committing other offences of as grave
a nature, and declaring that she would be
tried by none such. This caused some ex-
element, which, however, was soon quelled
and the trial proceeded, but it was soon in
terrupted again by several of the accused
parties making light of the whole affair
and setting the law, constable and magis-
trate at defiance. This caused a general
uproar, when the parties on trial seized
empty bottles, which were scattered around
the sFoffice,'' and hurting them at the heads
of the representatives of the, law, drove
them from the house and off the premises.
This, of course, broke up the trial and end
ed the whole affair, the parties never being
molested again. This is but sample Of
the trials (?) which take place in districts
presided over by negro magistrates.-Ale1-
andrid Gazette.

EARTH UP PoTAToEs.-J. L. Jensen, a
Danish agricultural scientist and expert
mentalist, has issued book in which he
claims that earthing up potatoes is a pre-
ventive of disease. He says those varieties
which root deepest are most free from dis
ease, and that the spores of the fungus
which causes rot are conveyed TIL ough the
atmosphere to the plants, and can only
reach the tubers by being carried by rains
through the earth or by dews down the
main stem of the plant. He recommends
earthing up potatoes as protection saying
that, though the yield is not increased, a
remarkable freedom from disease is noticed
| where the plants ar: earthed up as much as
they will bear.

The Iowa BRAND OF GHOST STORY
Charter Oak township, Crawford county, is
in estate of intense excitement" over a
ghost. The wife of well-to-do farmer died
a short time ago, leaving an infant child.
The child was very fretful. The house
keeper one night exclaimed: eff there is
God l wish He'd let the child's mother
come back and soothe it." Afew moments
later the door swung upon its hinges with
out apparent cause, and spectre recogniz-
ed as the dead mother in her burial clothes,
glided into the room, knelt over the child
with her hands clasped, as if in prayer, and
then as silently left the room, apparently
passing through the closed door. The spec
tire has appeared at short intervals since.
The father has since married again and the
spirit form is visible to the bride, while the
husband cannot be persuaded to uncover
his head and look upon the dead mother OF
his child.
