The Dream of Youth

The dreams we so fondly loved
in early life may just as quickly
pass away and leave nothing but a
scared and desolate path behind.
The proud hopes which spring un-
hidden in the human heart, may
die and fall as fell the plague on
sinful man. The monuments OF
beauty and art which have been
reared by mans creative genius
may crumble and turn dust, but
yet PERUNA the great remedy,
will still be acknowledged to be
the greatest of all medicines, and
will still receive the praise which
so rightly belongs to it. Thous-
ands have received benefits from
it, and have shown their apprecia-
ton oft by their testimonials to
that effect. Ask your druggist for
this great remedy, and for the
pamphlet called the ellis of Life"
or address DR.. s. Il. Hartman &
Co., Columbus, Ohio, and they will
send you one free.

A Young w oman Buried Alive

A Wheeling (W. Va.) dispatch
says one of those CHASTITY stories of
interment before life has become
extinct which cause an involuntary
shudder of horror to pass through
the reader is current in that city.
The victim, so the story goes, was
a young married lady of 20 years.
In May of last year, three months
after her marriage, the young lady
was taken violently i'll, and after
lingering for ten days, apparently
died. There we're certain pecu
liarities about the appearance of
the supposed corpse, however, which
caused a suspicion in the mind of
the attending physician that his
patient might be in a trance, but
after keeping the body for four
days, with no signs of returning
life, the remains were consigned to
the grave, temporary interment be-
ing made in the family lot in an
abandoned graveyard. A day or
two ago the body was disinterred
prior to removal to another ceme-
terry. To the surprise of the sex
ton, the coffin lid showed signs of
displacement, and on its being re.
moved the grave.digger was horri-
fed to find the remains turned face
downward, the hands filled with
long turfts of hair torn from the
head, and the face, neck and bos-
ON deeply scratched and Scared,
while the lining of the coffin had
been torn into fragments in the
desperate efforts Of the entombed
victim to escape from her terrible
fate. Since the discovery theyoung
husband has been Frustrated, and
his life is despaired Of.

Who will He BE ?

Next week things will become lively in
Chicago again, and the gathering of the
clans will be accompanied by the throng
of lookers-on and general sight-seers,
which will convert the Garden CITY into
a very Paris of brilliancy. 1t is not to be
wondered at that the remarkably low rates
made over the entire system of the B. &
o. should be attended by so large an out
pouring of people. Over the whole line
from the Atlantic, the glorious Chesapeake
and the great rivers to the lakes, the rate
is but one-half the regular fare, or one fare
for the round trip. The tickets go upon
sale at all stations on July Sd, remaining
on sale every day to and including the 18th,
good for use any day and upon any train
to and including the Sth. Thence the
tickets are good for return trip at any
time up to and including July 18th. Every
accommodation is being provided by the
railroad company to insure the utmost
satisfaction and comfort of the patrons
and nothing will be left undOne to COM
plete such preparations as will render the
most complete success certain.
Elegant B. Il 0. sleepers will he attached
to all through trains, and not only will
they make the trip without change, but
new and most comfortable regular coaches
as well. When it comes to time, the B. q
O. has a record which has never been
equalled, and when safety is considered,
no road in the world equals its record for
upwards of half century.
The B. Il o. depot in Chicago Is by long
odds the most advantageously located and
the best arranged in that city. Those who
have travelled know what it is to be in a
crowded union depot with trains ola half
dozen roads coming in and going out:
everybody's baggage heaped up indiscri-
Intimately, and employees so harrassed and
bothered by countless questions as to be
in condition to answer none of them to the
poit. The passenger becomes if anything
more mixed, and ten to one gets on the
wrong train, has the check for some other
fellows trunk, and upon the whole wishes
he had never been born. At the Chicago
depot of the b. Il o. there is none of this
confusion, no wrangling, pulling or haul
ing. No trains but its own come in or 60
out. No baggage piled up of other roads,
and everything so Systematically arranged
that getting on the wrong train or jun
bled condition of things in any respect is
impossible. The depot Immediately adj
joins the Exposition building, it being
hardly two minutes walk to the grand
structure which, being the scene of both
Conventions, will undoubtedly mark the
spot where the next Presidents name is
finally made certain.

And fragrance in her hair.

1t knows full well, does this waiting earth,
What the coming queen will do.

Across the teeming earth she'll fold,
She'll scatter along in field and lane
The dandelio ns' gold.
She'll touch the orchard trees with pink,
She'll touch the wi lows along the stream.
And waken the pansy up.
She'll kiss the rose till it bushes red;
She'll toll the bees where the sweets are hid !;
And every blossom that hears her voice
VIII do as it is bid.
She'll bring the robin and bluebird back,
She'll break the chains the waters wear;
Beneath her footsteps life will spring
To beauty everywhere.
Come, beautiful Summer, gracious queenI
Lo! for thy coming we've waited long,
Come, fill the world with loving smiles,
And sunlight and bloom and song.

Make it garden glad and sweet,

THE GALLANT WIFE WHO TOOK HER HUS-
BANDS PLACE AT THE CANNON'S SIDE.
The bas reliefs for the monument cele-
brating the famous battle of Monmouth
were cast in Justice Powers foundry on
Monday. The most noJed of the four re-
liefs is that of Sergeant Mollie Pitcher.
She was the wife of a cannonieI in Gen.
Wagner's command When the American
forces retreated from Fort Clinton and the
enemy was scaling the ramparts her hus-
band dropped his match and fled. Mollie
caught it up, fired the piece and also fled.
At the battle of Monmouth, ON June 2S,
TITS. she brought water to her husband and
his companion from spring near by. A
shot killed her husband, and the officer in
charge having no one competent to fill his
place ordered the piece to be Withdrawn.
Mollie heard the order as she was coming
from the spring, dropped her bucket, seiz-
ed the rammer and worked the cannon till
the fight ended.
On the following morning, says Losing,
General Greene presented her, still cover
ed with dirt and blood, to Washington, who
at once gave her a commission as sergeant.
She was placed for life upon the list of half
pay officers, and soon after the battle left
the army. She died near Fort Montgome-
ry, on the Hudson. ''The venerable wild
ow of General Hamilton" LOSING adds,
''told me she had often seen Captain Molly.
She was stout, red-haired, freckle- faced
young Irish woman, with handsome,
piercing eye. The French officers charmed
by her bravery, made her many presents.
She would sometimes pass along the French
lines, with her cooked hat and get it almost
filed with CROWNS" Molly was 20 years
at the time of the battle. A painting by
Colonel Curtis, Washington's stepson,
gives spirited representation OF the scene.
The relief represents Sergeant Molly
Pitcher as a beautiful young woman. She
stands barefooted and bareheaded in front
of cannon ramming a charge home. Her
dead husband lies at her feet. The pom
derous wheels of the gun, with old-fashion.
ed iron bands holding the joints OF the fell
lows, are well brought out. A bare headed
gunner stands close by, ball in hand OPP
posite another gunner thumbs the vent,
holding the flint-lock in his hand. The
sponge bucket stands in place. An enc
my's ball ploughs the grassy field A bat,
terry flag sticks in the sod, with the old
Freehold meeting house in the background.

Too Much Plow, Too Little Grass.
BY Our Agricultural Editor.

BY Our Agricultural Editor.
The surface area of land devoted to plow-
ed and hoed crops is too large for the amount
of pasturage and other improved ground
The farmer as u rule, works too hard and
necessarily himself, and gets too little done
for him. The system should be reversed.
Grass, clover, fruit nut and timber trees,
bee, bird, fowl, livestock. and water and
wind should be constantly engaged in per-
forming some service for the farmer. His
whole farm should team with labor done by
other hands than his own. The farmers
business is, to large extent at least, to
control, systematic, and direct. The farm
is machine to be run by great diversity
of little springs, all acting under the impulse
Of one master hand. BY no means should
the farmer attempt to impart all the motive
power himself. He must utilize the forces
Of nature around him.
But if he has too much plowing and hoe
ing to do, he cannot do this. His own
manual labor will consume all his time and
attention, and he will have no opportunity
of bringing to his aid those collateral forces
that always abound more or less on every
farm of much extent. The items that we
have named are some of these. There are
others, no doubt, peculiar to each individ-
ual farm. Let the owner make study of
them. There is a fascination about this
thing to really live, progressive, investi-
eating farmer. 1t is grand thing to take
few score acres Of mother earth and devel-
op it to its highest capacity for rendering
service to man.
1t can be done, but the plow is not the
one implement of all work for the important
undertaking. There is need of tillage. Sta
pie crops, like cotton and tobacco, require
frequent stirring of the soil with plow and
hoe. Only do not carry it too far, as if the
soil were good for nothing in the world but
to be dug into-to be scratched and har-
rowed. On any hundred-acre.. farm there
should seldom be over thirty or forty acres
for actual tillage. The remainder should
be pasture, orchard, meadow, woodland
Two horses should perform the draft labor
on any one-hundred-acre farm.
Look around you, brother, and see what
your place is capable Of What does it of.
fer naturally? How much pasture, how
much hill and meadow, how much level
field? You pay tax on every acre; how
many acres yield an income? What chance
is there for an excellent summer range for
hogs, with good water, plenty of wild fruit,
nut and acorn trees, all of which will help
along and save corn? The hillsides that
have been cultivated are washed almost
bare of soil. Stop that. In fall SOW win
ter grain and grass seed, next spring clover.
Get it down in something that will not wash
off so easily. Stop the plow at the top of
the hill. 1t is twice as hard labor and twice
as poor pay cultivating hillside. Stop it.

A FEW sEAsONABLE RECIPES THAT WILL
BE FOUND USEFUL.


It is. a good plan to vary the manner in
which you flavor the roast of beef; this can
be done by squeezing the juice of half a
lemon over it and putting the other half
inside the roast.
A good and quick way to test jelly, to
see if it is done, is to drop little in a
glass of cold water-ice-water, if possible;
if it falls to the bottom Immediately, the
jelly is done.
If the cock has little pie-crust or even
a little of her best puff paste left after
making pies, let her use it in this way:
Line some patty pans with it, bake it,
then put a spoonful of Jelly or jam into
each one, and pour enough boiled custard
over each to fill it. If a patty-pan pie is
an instrument of happiness to the children,
let it not be despised.
A very nice way to cook veal outlets is to
dip them inte well beaten egg, then cover
them with fine cracker crumbs; melt some
butter and lard in the frying pan, and cook
the outlets slowly in it; season with pepper
and salt, and serve with currant, catsup, or
jelly.
A good way to cook tripe is to first cut
it into pieces not more than an inch square,
fry them in butter, and flavor with onion
sliced very thin, and with pepper and salt.
Cold boiled ham may be served for tea in
this way; CRATE it on coarse crater, line a
platter with crisp lettuce leaves, and heap
the grated ham in the center.
A delicious pudding is made by adding
grated cocoanut to the common corn-starch
blanc-mange. The cocoanut should be
fresh. Stir it into the pudding only two or
three minutes before taking that from the
fire. Put into mould which has been
dipped into cold water. Do not use an egg
in this pudding, but make boiled custard
for sauce. Pour it over the pudding, or
serve in fancy bowl, letting each one
"help himself to it.
A nice way to cook fish is to steam it till
tender, remove the bones, and scatter pep
per and salt over it. Serve with a sauce
made of milk thickened with -four, with one
or two hard boiled eggs chopped and mixed
with it, and little parsley for favoring.
Soup may be made of chicken broth,
that is, the water in which chicken has
been boiled. 1t must be highly seasoned;
tomatoes are an excellent addition; a small
onion sliced very thin and plenty of pepper
and salt, with small lump of butter are
needed ALSO
A nice drink for an invalid is made by
beating tablespoonful of currant jelly with
the white Of an egg and a little sugar.
When it is thoroughly beaten pour over it
a half teacup full of boiling water. If
ice-cold water is allowed it may be used
instead of hot water.

A SUMMER SONG.

The bees among the clover
Went humming in and out,
The butterflies on sunny wings
Trooped listlessly about.
The stream song was singing,
That lulled the dreaming flowers,
And my heart itself was dreaming
To the song of happy hours.
I saw the hills above me,
The breezy hills of Weir,
The Ferney Farm that nestled
Where thestream grows broad and clear.
The lights and shades wentracing
Across the fields of rye,
AS the hopes and fears that tremble
When Love himself is nigh.
call to mind the fancies,
So idle. yet so dear,
That f1uttered around my heart, sweet,
When you yourself drew near,
A sunbeam on the meadows.
ALLY or the stream,
A sweet reality-and yet,
The image of dream
Time has not changed the fancies
OF that remembered hour,
Whose bud of bliss has blossomed
To true and perfect flower,
And fortune grant the way, love,
Our happy footsteps tend,
Be sunny as the past, love,
And sunny to the end.
