A Lonely Wedding Tour.

The latest "American" story going
the rounds Of the European press is that
of traveller of that nationality who
found it necessary.to excuse his inability
to join in the hilarity of other travellers
because of his poverty. Gentlemen -
said he, 81 know I am more or less of a
saturated blanket in this party; but the
fact is 1 am very poor man-steeped to
the lips I may say in jmpecuniosity.
When tell You, in strict confidence,
that this is my wedding tour, and I have
beep.compelled to leave my wife home,
You con form an idea of the narrowness
of my resources. -

COMFORTED.
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE,

When the hard moments come, and I recall
With tears and bitter crying that last day
When you were with me, love, with me always
Ready to come at hghtest word let fall,
You, who will come no more, call as may;
And how I vexed you sometimes, was unlnd,
Forgetful. careless, child your girlish glee,
The little wish that lowered in your mind
And make yoa glad, while still such things might
When count up these things and add the rest
The things might have done and did not do;
The tender words which came so scant 80 few;
The gifts ungivcn, the kisses left impressed,
The unspoken love that should have blessed us
two;
And thinking all this over, feel my pain
Stir like sleepy snake, and writhe and sting
With pangs renewed, undreamed-of suffering
As to dry pastures comee the cooling rain,
Or autumn foods to spent and wasted spring,
Cometh this thought: my little childish one
Is old in wisdom now as angels are;
The Tar Is near to her: the near is far;
All hidden things in earth and star and sun
At her behest their mysteries unbar.
She knows not only all my faults, but knows
That which to me ia but half understood:
The germ OF mood that lurked behind the mood,
The sharp-strung nerve, thorn of ife's daily rose
Loves keenest grievance and vicissitude.
She makes the excuses which dare not make;
She marks the grievings that may not still
Balances strife and failure, power and will,
Truly forgiving all for loves dear sake,
With warmth of pardon distance cannot chill.
And knowing, comprehcnding, judging so,
Perhaps she smiles amid the smiling throng
That should weep so idly, mourn so long,
And waste such bitter penitence and woe
Over what seems to her but trivial wrong!'
Smile, darling! will smile, too, comforted.
If you were here (oh, empty wish and vain!)
might forget and puzzle you. or pain;
But wise now with the wisdom Of the dead,
You never can misunderstood again.

Insects in the GranarV.

Apractical entomologist says that only
two remedies are satisfactory against
grain beetles. Bisulphide Of carbon
sprinkled freely in the granary is death
to weevels and all other insects that eat
stored corn. The liquid should be
sprinkled in the bins to the amount of a
gallon if the granary is large, and the
granary then closed as tightly as posi-
BILE. No fire should be taken near till
the bins are thoroughly ventilated.
When no odor is perceived then all is
safe; but the lighting of match or
presence Of cigar before this would
blow the building in pieces. With care
there is no danger, however, as ven
tilstion is q quick process, Tue second
remedy is very dense tobacco smoke, or
strong tobacco-water sprinkled into the
empty bins. I have not tried these in
the granaties, but have experimental
with them in small boxes, and find them
quick death to ~etvels and other grain
eating beetles. The tobacco-water-
strong decoction-could only be u:ed
when the granary was empty. It should
be sprinkled or thrown all over the room
and bins, and then left to evaporate. In
connection with tlis 1 would advise the
free use IF tobacco smoke. Upon a
ke tile OF Goals coarse stems could he
placed, and 80 the granary thoroughly
fumigated. This cannot be overdone,

this purpose, invariably place the stalls
on the eastern and southern sides Of the

A Place for the Tools.

When not in use every tool used on
the farm or in the garden should have q
place for safe keepins. A well-to-ao
farmer can afford house especially for
the tools. But the lack of Toulouse
does not prevent the farmer from having
some suitable place for storing his i'm
plements. The sides OF car,iage-house
may be arranged 50 that large number
OF the small tools may be put away in
good shape. Not long ago the writer
was in farm building where the whole
underside of the roof was devoted to the
storage ofimplements. Here were grain
cradles, scythes, and various rakes, forks,
hoes, etc, hung upon bars and pins in a
safe and satisfactory way. Racks for
holding implements can be put in be-
tween the studs of building, and above
these, shelves should be made for no d.
ing various articles as tubs, baskets, etc.,
that take much space. The time Of year
for fitting up the tool.room is at hand.
With the implements in good working
order, and stored so as to be within
quick reach, the farmer is forearmed for
his work, that comes so much in a heap
at the opening Of spring. -Am,ericaa

There is as much economy in keeping
fowls as in any other domestic animal.
Any family having yard or garden may,
with fifteen or twenty hens, have fowls
to kill in the fall worth fifteen or twenty
dollars. if purchased in market, by kill
ing off the cockerels and old stock, and
have twenty dollars worth of eggs for
family use or to sell. The expense of
keeping dozen fowls, where they have
the wastes and scraps of the kitchen, is
nothing compared to the value of their
productions.
Young hens or pullets are the most
profitable. Those Matched early in the
season, as q rule, are the first to develop.
The larger breeds take longer time to
come to maturity, and they should be
Matched early. With good care and feed,
and warm quarters the early pullets will
lay the greater part of the winter, when
eggs are worth having. A dozen eggs in
winter are worth two dozen in spring.
and economically considered the pullets
will have paid for themselves and the food
consumed before they are twelve months
old. Hens two and three years old lay
less eggs than those one year old, con-
sequently the best plan for poultry
breeders is to raise pullets every year
to take the place of old hens.-Poulf,y

Why Not Use It2

The rear yards of onr tin and sheet
iron factories, the grounds of our fruit
canneries, and the vacant land along
the river, are covered with scraps of tin
that are nuisance to all who behold
them or whose misfortune it is to travel
over them. In Baltimore and Philadel-
phia such sights are not to be seen.
There is no such waste of valuable ma
terial in those cities. All the pieces of
tin are cut up into some useful shape
and size. Narrow strips are cut into lit
tie round disks and sold to button
makers to be used in making covered
buttons. The round pieces cut out of
fruit cans are stamped into small boxes
for pills and ointment. Little tin points
are made by the million for GLACIERS
use. Tobacco is now bound up in all
kind Of blocks by little clamps of tin.
Hoop skirts have heretofore taken a
large amount of long strips of tin. If
our manufacturers will cut these pieces
Of tin which are now nuisance into
some useful shape, they will promote
pleasure and profit.

Electricity and Magnetism. the New
Means of Cure.

DIR. L. Robbins, the successful electric
and magnetic healer of l19 Main street,
between Second and Third streets, who
has made so many wonderful cures in
this city, is still meeting with immense
success. His rooms are crowded daily
with patients anxious to get the benefit
Of his powerful magnetism. The blind
see, the deaf hear, the lame walk and
he sick are healed by this new develop
ment in medical science. DIR. Robbins
discards the use of all medicines in his
treatment and relies solely on the power
of magnetism. An experience of several
years in the Australian colonies and this
country enables him to assert with conf
dence that he can cure diseases that baf-
file the skill of other physicians. He
also diagnoses disease without explana-
ton from the patient, free Of charge.
We would advise sll persons suffering
from painfnl diseases to call and see the
Doctor and get the benefit of his advice.
Testimonials have already appeared in
the columns Of the HERALD showing his
ability as a magnetic physician. ml5 I'm
