LIFE,s WEST WINDOWS.

We stand at life's west windows
And think of the days that are gone;
Remembering the coming set
We too must remember the morn;
But the sun will set, t4lN Gay VIII close,
And an end will come TO all our woes.
As we watch from the western easements,
Reviewing our happy youth,
We mourn for its vanished promise
or honor, ambition and truth:
But hopes will fade and pride decay,
When we think how soon we must pass away.
We stand at life's west windows,
And turn not sadly away,
To watch on our children's faces
The noontide of sparkling day;
But our sun must set, our lips grow dumb,
And to look from our windows our children
come.
Still looking for life's west windows;
And we know we would not again
Look forth from the eastern lattice
And live over all lifes pain,
Though life's sunlight he brilliant, its sunset
is sweet,
Since it brings longed for rest TO oar weary
feet.

An Exciting Trip.

A short sketch of the memorable
trip of the Maid of the Mist, on which
were the only persons who ever went
through the whirlpool rapids and the
whirlpool itself and came out alive,
will be of interest. The boat which
made this trip was built in 1854. For
awhile she took passengers from both
the American AM Canadian shore, and
ran up very close to the foot Of the
falls. Owing to some change in her
appointments, which confined her to
tie Canadian shore for the reception
of passengers, she became Improbable.
Her owner, wishing to leave the place.
determined to sell her, and he received
an offer Of little more than half her
cost if he would deliver her at Niagara,
opposite the fort. This he decided to
do after consultation with Joel R.
Robinson, who acted as captain and
pilot on her trips under the falls. Mr..
Robinson consented to act as pilot for
the fearful voyage, and the engineer.
Mr.. Jones, agreed to 90 with him. A
machinist, MIR Mcintyre, volunteered
to share the risk with them. The boat
was put in complete trim, all super
fuous articles being removed from the
deck and hold. Notice was given of
the time of starting, and large crowd
assembled to see the fearful plunge, no
one expecting to see either boat or
crew again after they should leave the
docH, with was just above the rail
way suspension bridge.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon Of
June Is, 1861, the engineer took his
place in the hold, and knowing that
their fitting trip would be short at
the longest, set his steam valve at the
proper gauge, and waited the tinkling
signal that should start them on their
flying voyage. Robinson took his
place at the wheel and gave the start
ing signal. With Il Shrek from her
whistle and a white puff from her
escape-pipe, the boat ran up the eddy a
sht rt distance, cleared the smooth
water, and shot like an arrow into the
rapid under the bridge. She took the
outside curve of the rapid, and when
a third of the way down it Il jet of
water struck against her rudder, a COL
nmn dashed up under her starhoard
side, keeled her ov +, carried away her
smoke-stack, started her overhang On
that side, threw Robinson OH his ba"k,
and threw Mcintyre against her star
board wheel-house with such force rs
to break it through. Every looker-oa
breathed freer as she emerged, shook
her wounded sides, slid into the whirl-
pool, and fer a moment rode again on
an even keel. Robinson rose at once,
seized the helm, ses her to the right OF
the large pot in the pool, then turned
her directly through the neck of it,
Thence, after receiving another drench-
ing from the waves, she dashel On
without further accident to the quiet
bosom of the river below Lewiston.
The boat was seventy-two feet long,
with seventeen feet breadth OF beam,
eight feet depth of hold, and carried
an engine Of 100horse power.-BV-
falo ErpresS.

Turnips Us n Farm Crop.

F. D. Curtis, who is strong alvc-
cate of roct-crops, thus writes to the
Agric1ltur;St:: A turnip crop will tit
a n.ea low for corn, as the so will be
rottel. rea.y for giving tie maize a
vigorous start, an the ground vii! be
more mellow and all the richer on ac-
count of the turnips. The sod shoul |
be turned over as soon as possible
after the elov,r or hay crop has been
taken off. It would lie well to roll t., e
ground and fatten the swarl to hasten
its Ce Ce:omposition, AMI few days be-
fore sowing time harrow it thoroughly.
a dressing of finely rotted manure
should then be sprealupon the surface
and cultivated nto the so !, the ground
being pulvt rize and m de as mellow
as possible. If wool ashcs can be pro-
cured they will help the crop if they
are th,nly scattered on the top. a
pound and a half of seed sown broa"-
cast is ample for an acre. The see |
should be coverel with a brush Craeg.
AS soon as the turnips are up they W II
be benefited by a dressing of plaster
(sulphate of lime) at the rate of two
bushels to an acre. Good phosphate
will make turnips grow, if narrowed
into the ground with the seed, using
100 poun:!s to the acre. The advan-
tages of a crop of turnips for the lat
ter part of autumn are manifold. If
the farmer does not wish to harvest
them he can turn on his entire It ,ck,
and the hungry animals that night
have roar ell over frost-bitten, barren
fields will luxuriate in plenty.

He proposes to rid the country of field

them with this particular bacteria and
turn them loose to spread it. The
authorities have been advised to await
the result tf further experiments be-
fore adopting the plan. lest great harm

that the dreadful trichinT is bred to

required to insert a special clause to
that effect or such child could get the

he had been forgotten. Blackstone, in

this gave rise to the custom in Eng

custom springs the well-known phrase:

The most humble Of the civil func-
tionaries of the French republic are
the naval cats. There are some hum
dreds of them, and their Importance is
duly recognized by the state, which
supports them in such comfort and
dignity as bsfits their official position.
The French naval cat enters the serv-
ice in his kittenhood, and spends the
first year or two of his active career on
board man-of-war, where he is
berthed in the hold and permitted to
devour whatever he can catch. Having
thus passed through apprenticeship, he
is sent ashore and quartered at one of
the five naval ports as a terror to the
rats and mice that swarm in the vic
tualing yards and store sheds. He is
then entitled to an allowance of five
centimes day, and this sum is regu-
larly paid on Lis behalf to the director
of cats, who lays it out on horseflesh
for the use of his forces.
