Autumnal Dreams.


Autumnal Dreams.
When the maple turns to crimson.
And the sasafras to gold;
When the gentian's In the meadow,
And the aster in tho void;
When the moon is Tapped in vapOr,
And the night is frosty cold;
When the chestnut burs are opened,
AMI the acorns drop like hail,
And the drowsy air is startled
With the humping of the fail
With the drumming of the partrid &c,
And the whistle OF the quail;
Through the rustling woods wander,
Through the jewels OF the year
From the yellow uplands calling,
Seeking her who is still dear;
She is near me In the autumn,
She, the beautiful, is near.
Through the smoke of burning summer,
When the weary winds are still,
can see her in the valley.
I can see her on the hill,
In the spleRdor of the woodlands,
In the whisper of the rill.
For the shores of earth and heaven
Meet, and minge in the blue;
She can wander down the glory
To the places that she knew
Where the happy lovers wandered
In the days when life was true.
So think when days are sweetest,
And the WORLD is wholly fair,
She may sometimes steal upon me
Through the dimness of the air,
With the cross upon her bosom,
And the amaranth in her hair.
Once to meet her. ah to meet her,
And to hold her gently fast
Till blessed her, till she blessed me-
That were happiness at last;
That were bliss beyond our meetings,
In the autumns of the past!

FARM AND FIRESIDF.

NINE farmers out of every ten if asked
to state why they hill crops would be at a
loss to give satisfactory answer. and yet
they 20 on, year after year. putting a
great amount of labor upon the crops that
cannot be traced to any superior result.
If potatoes are planted shallow they need
more extra soil in which to develop the
tubers, but as potatoes are now almost
uniformly planted in trenches made by a
plow or marker, they do not need this
extra dirt. That this necessary billing is
a necessary requirement to cover the roots
is not a fact, for on good soil corn or po-
tato roots occupy the whole soil, and rain
to benefit the crop is best distributed
through the soil, and if no hills are pres
ent all the roots will be benefited. The
practice Of killing is against the roots &C.
cupying the whole ground as the soil for
the hills taken from the centre of the rows
soon takes all the fine dirt from between
the rows down to the hard subsol, and
between hoeing and the shovel-plow the
the centre roots are all destroyed. The
usual cultivator can be largely improved
by wiring on stoutly standing board to
the rear CT the back shovels SO that the
cultivator. as it is drawn along, first mel
lows the soil, and the board being cross
ways of the row, levels down the ridged
SOIL and if cut the right length 1t places
about as much fresh soil about the roots
of the stalks as the rain washes down. so
that by the end of the cultivating season
the ground is left comparatively level and
there is an abundance of fine soil between
the hills, and the slight gain Of fine soil
about the stalks will afford abundant
place for the .tubers to develop or the
brace roots of the corn to obtain secure
hold.

If heavy growth of wheat has been
cut, the clover under it will probably be
somewhat stunned. Under fallen wheat
it will often be apparently destroyed.
Yet there is probably more clover than
appears to the casual observer, than if let
alone and unpastured it will often cover
the field before fall and be in a good crop
next season.

STEAMED PUDDING.-Twoe eggs to two
teacupfuls Of sour milk, two teaspoonfuls
of saleratus and salt; stir very thick or it
will be heavy; then add dried cherries,
raspberries, currants, or any fruit y.u
may have. Steam two hours. Eat with
sweetened cream.

PINE STUMPs.-Pine stumps may be-
more proitably removed by blasting with
dynamite than by a stump-puller. A large
pine stump-puller requires very great
force to be pulled out of the ground. but
it is easily torn to pieces and thrown out
by two to tour ounces of dynamite.

SALT is being used freely by certain
New York nurs erymen in their pear nur-
series, for the purpose of counteracting
blight. Iron filings and copper in solu-
tion have been used for the same purpose.
If these remedies do not prevent the dis
ease, they at least correct adisposlti on to
blight.

BAKED ToMAToEs.-Put six large, ripe
tomatoes, with their stalks cut off, into a
well-buttered pie-dish; sprinkle pepper
and salt over them, and cover with finely
grated bread crumbs; bake from half to
three quarters of an hour in moderately
hot oven. Some slice the tomatoes before
baking; they cook quicker when so treated.

Indiana is also regarded as an impor
tant factor in determining the direction in
which unpledged votes shall be cast, and
the name of Ex Senator Mcdonald is
strongly urged even for the first place,
with New York accorded the second place
on the ticket 1t was hoped among the
Democrats of the State that Ex Gov.
Hendricks would consent to ac,e ept the
Gubernatorial nomination, which his
friends say would remove Indiana from
among the list of doubtful States, and
leave it free to combine with New York
or some Ot er State in the Chicago Con-
vention. But it is said that Mrs. Hend.
ricks is opposed to the Ex-Governor ever

The action OF the three great States of
Ohio, Illinois and Missouri will also exert
great influence on the result OF the con-
vention.
Nine States having 222 votes in that
body have yet TO elect their delegates
Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Mis-
souri,, Rho1e Island, South Carolina, North
Carolina and Florida. Illinois does not
elect her forty-four delegates until July ,,
six days before the convention meets in
Chicago. II Missouri should instruct her
delegates for Morrison at her convention
on the 24th instant, Illinois will probably
follow her lead with similar Instructions,
thus making the contestants for the gilt OF
the convention more numerous.
The relative condition of,the delegations,
as far as can be ascertained in conversa-
ton with members of Congress from the
several States, is as follows:

story as ii was given to the world by the
New York Truth from the lips OF Ryland,
the forger, who with his wife are filling con.
siderable space in the press of the country
atthe present time. It will be seen that he
makes very grave accusations against one
of the most prominent men in public life
accusations which, ifthey can be proven,
will bring SORROW and distress to many
hearts and destroy career OF honor and
usefulness But this must not stand in
the way OF justice. Whoever this dis
tinguished official may be the New York
authorities cannot afford 10 shield him.
They must in the interest Of public moral
ity and justice inquire into these alleged
facts and il they are sustained arrest and
punish the culprit. Nothing should be
permitted to stand in the way OF justice.

tralization of Egypt, like Belgium, and for
the naturalization of the Suez canal"
In reply, Waddington gave assurances
OF the satisfaction with which France

proposals and testifies to England's mod
Grafton and friendly spirit, which it be-
lieves will strengthen the bonds that bind
