WILD HONEY.

Where hints of racy sap and gnm
Out OF the old dark forest come;
Where birds their beaks like hammers wielt
And pith is pierced and bark is peeled;
Where the green walnut's outer rind
Gives precious bitterness to the wind,
There turks the sweet creative power,
AS turks the honey in the flower.
In Winters bud that bursts in Spring,
In nut of Autumn's ripening.
In acdd bulb beneath the mould,
Sleeps the elixir, strong and DID,
That Rosicrucians sought in vain
Life that rencws itself again

What bottled perfume is so good
As fragrance Of split tulip-wood!
What tabled drink Of god or muse
Was rich as purple mulberry Juice
And what polished gem Of thought
Is like the rune from Nature caught'

Test the Seed Corn Tor 1888.
The Peoples Press.
Father Clarkson, editor of the agri
cultural department of the Des Moincs
Register, and Il writer of wide nc,
Quantance with farm matters. acquired
by former practical experience, in i
last issue of that paper, makes the fol
lowing important suggestions to farm
crs for the success of the Iowa corr
crop of 1883:
Everybody who has interest in Iowa
is looking forward with hope and faitI
for good crops in 1883. For the first
time in its history Iowa has had par.
tial failure in its crop for two years.
But it is the universal hope that this
year there will be an old-faShioned
heavy crop--both in quantity and quail
ity-such as it always had up TO 1881.
To his end let there be no lack OF
caution and care. The corn crop i,
the great crop of the state. The first
requisite for good crop OF this cereal,
in looking at it from this distance, i,
good seed. If that be not good, there
will be little hope for good crop, even
under other most favorable circum.
stances. If farmers shall plant poor
seed, ii will be too late to mend the
mistake, even if good seed could be
found elsewhere.
Many of the best judges in Iowa, III
cludng the agricultural editor of The
Register, fear that there will be Il fail.
urc in good seed this spring. They
fear that one of the earlier hard
freezes killed the germs in the corn
and in the corn that nineteen out OF
twenty OF the farmers of the state arC
depending on for seed. Prudent bust
ness men have no idea of the careless
ness OF the average farmer in proyid
ing surely good seed corn. The mos
of even good farmers sort of trust tC
luck in this important matter, and
depend on uncertainty gathered sceC
corn, or even on corn from the crib
This makes the situation and the eprCscn
outlook the more serious.
As this is the all important crop o
Iowa, and every citizen of the state il
interested in it, we add our warning tC
that of the agricultural editor, an
ask the press of the state, in ever,
county, to urge the farmers to look in
TO this matter at once, and to be test
ing the corn they are depending on fo
seed. 1t can be easily tested in u boz
of dirt placed in the warm room of til,
household. A little while will prove t,
every farmer the reliability or worth
lessncss of the seed he has on hand, o
which he proposes to use.
This is no trivial matter. 1t is of tn
first Importance, and the public pres
can render no better Office, or ont
more clearly in the line of its duty
than by sounding this warning now
and enforcing it upon the farmers at
tcntion. If they will be fully arouse,
to it, it may make difference of man,
millions of dollars in the crops of low'
this year.

Lancet,
1t is a mistake to both rise early and
sit up late. The rising early is good
as habit of life, if it does not mean
robbing nature of her opportunity to
recruit the exhausted strength of brain
and body, by prolonging sleep when
the necessary luxury is at length en-
ioyed. There would appear to be some
need of remonstrance Of this score.
The fashion of the day fayors early
rising and the manly "tub;" but those
who rise early have, for the most part,
sat up prodigiously late, and the tub is
chiefly appreciated because it rouses
the system and makes it iceland feel.
ings are very deceptive-strong and
vigorous, This is burning the candle
at both ends.
If wo must sit up half the night II
would be better to sleep half the day,
than to rise betimes and 90 in for ar
duous labor after insufficient rest.
Early rising is not good, but harmful,
without early resting.

The New "Numbcr Five" Nickel.

The American Sentry
The new 'number fiven nickel is
now being coined in the mint at Phila-
delphia. In size it is somewhat larger
than the present five cent nickel, and
will doubtless often be passed as a
twenty cent piece. We have termed it
'number five" nickel, because ;here is
only 'Vn on it to instruct the public
as to its legal or fiat value. For aught
we know the ~" may mean five dol
lars, or five dimes, or five mills, in
stead of five cents, and it is certain
that five mills would be nearest to its
mercantile value.
If the lettering that is on the old
coins, viz: five cents" has been will
fully omitted by order Of conscien-
tious secretary of the treasury, who
believes that money has no other than
commodity value, and was, therefore,
unwilling TO permit one cents worth
of nickel to be branded with so auda-
cious n falsehood, the intrinsic-value
money advocates ought to consider his
course in the matter as highly merito.
rious. But, at the same time, it will
be very inconvenient to our leople to
have number of small pieces of nick
el travelling all over our country, with.
out having national certificate OF
their exchangeable value on their
backs. Well may we all regret the
loss of the old postoflice fractional cur
rency, and sigh for return of the
same, in lieu of q lot of nickels and
coppers, such as we may have in the
near future, whose real values are
either unmentioned or fabulous.

Party Papers says
Chicago Tribune.
Haskell, of Kansas, stand up! You
bullied Il fellow-member of congress
who had the nerve TO tell the truth
about the influences under which the
ways and means committee made up
its tariff. You declared that his state
ment that that tariff was the creation
of corrupt and scandalous lobby was
flat falSehOOd. Townsend did not
have the ncrvetO tell you that you lied,
as he ought to have done. Not only
was there n corrupt and scandalous
lobby all around the committee while
it was drafting its swindling tariff, but
worse yet, the lobby was Il part of the
committee itself.
Both among the democratic and re-
publican members Of the committee
are to be found the serviIe and corrupt
tools of the Pennsylvania rings of mo-
nopoly. The appointment of three at
torneys of the Pennsylvania syndicates
to be members Of the ways and means
committee was n corrupt act by Speak
er KcifGr in pursuance Of n bargain by
which he was made speaker. The du-
ties proposed by the committee were
dictated by the attorneys of specia! in
tcrests which knew perfectly well that
the committee was organized to rob the
body OF the people and TO build up at
their expense u vast system of over
charging mOnOpolics Every favor
that was asked for by these monopO-
lists was granted. Not Il single right
in the way of relief from taxation that
was asked for by the people was grant

Cror lobbyist came before the committee

tariff commission, according to the
statement of Representative Tucker, a
member of the ways and means com
mttcc, came before it TO beg that their
official recommendation for lower
duties should be disregarded by the
committee, and that it would for the
private gain substitute higher duties in
their place, and the committee did it.
Every man who was in Washington
during the time the committee was
Matching out its snakes eggs knows

was such n lobby in Washington so cor
rupt, pcrtinacious, shameless, greedy.
Never did n lobby make such a clean
sweep. The whole west and south
were gerrymandered into districts,
each to be handed over to a sastrap to
be taxed for his private benefit. De-
liberately "infant industries like the
manufacture of locomotivc-tires in
Chicago were massacred to crafty the

congressional treachery and the seduc-
tions of the lobby never tlowered into
u meaner blossom than that of this
deadly nightshade of tariff legislation.

The costly and dreary farce. the second
star route trial, which extended over
many months. came 10 a close on Tues
DAY, when the case was given to the jury.
Yesterday. we are told, the jury came
into court. and Juror Vernon fell on the
floor in commissions. We are further told
that he had been drinking hard during
the trial. and that the result witnessed.
which points 20 disagreement
was anticipated. Now it should
have occurred to the prose-
cution that a drunken juror was not
qualified 10 pronounce upon its case.
Why. when it was discovered that he was
drinking hard" was not the trial
stOppeds There was room TO sus-
pect that at best the jury might
be fixed ere the close of the proceed
ings. The guilt Of the defendants was
established TO the satisfaction Of the pub
lie al the former trial. The aim Of the
second trial was 10 secure,
II possible. the conviction of
the rOgues. But a drunken juror would
not be likely TO contribute toward such a
result.
The trial should have been stopped.
Why was it allowed TO proceed unde such
circumstances: To the public view it looks
as though counsel thought their per
diem too good a thing 20 be lost. At any
rate this suspicion Is allowable and Will
be widely entertained. We are told
that juror Vernon will be al
lowed two drinks a day in the
hope that he may .'brace up and recover
his scattered senses, and possibly agree
with his comrades on the issue presented,
should they reach a conclusion one way
OF the other.
The first trial was shameful enough,
but the second is far more so. Should
no verdict be reached, Mr.. Bliss might
try the '.Ottman' plan and compromise.
1t would appear that such is the
-Only method Of dealing with
the rOgues. short of an aban-
Gonment of the governments case, but
the Ottman precedent cannot be exactly
followed since none of the ''swag' has
come into the governments hands and
none can be returned.
