FOR FARMERS.

PREPARING FLOWERS FOR WINTER.
1t is best, even in summer, TO make
preparation for winter flowers, and it
is surprising what little forethought
will do in that direction. A pot of
mignOnette and another of sweet alys-
sum cost nothing and yet nothing will
be found more pleasant and attrac-
tive in the winter season. Pls-a
that appear unimportant, almost 2
significant. and entirely eclipsed e.
more ambitious rivals, when the sT
den is ablaze with its summer glt. :.
sometimes prove to be very queens of
beauty when transferred to the sitting
room or the bay window.
PROTECT GRAIN BEFORE THREsHING.
Grain which is TO be threshed
should be so put up as to be protected
from too much rain, and a little
watch should be kept that mice and
squirrels are not making havoc among
it. A half dozen of these pests in a
stack of grain will eat and destroy it
very rapidly, and if it is found that
they have begun their mischief it will
pay to move the stack in such a way
that boys and dogs can have an OPP
portunity to kill the intruders. The
threshing can, be easier done a month
or two months later than. now, and
there will be less danger of the grain
being damaged in the binsafter thresh-
ing than there would be if it were
threshed at present. >. .-
HONEY. &C.,.
The honey crop, with the exeep-
ton of a few localities, is a partial
failure. The secured honey is in
many intances contaminated with
honey-1ew. and little will be first class.
The electric conditions for the secre-
ton of nectar from white clover, have
been deficient, and although the
bloom has been abundant, little has
been secured. Hot nights-good corn
growing weather-is the desideratum.
The prospect is good generally, for a
full autumn flow of honey; and those
having their dishes right side up will
catch it. Hives that are full of bees
will be the ones to pay their rent
promptly. Those desiring to winter
their bees well, must look after them
now, and see that they have young,
vigorous queens.
PLANT.
Plant out few fruit trees eyery
year; it is the cheapest, easiest an
best way 10 get an orchard, for whele
only three or four trees are to be
planted plenty of time and plenty {
rich soil always can be found TO d.
the job as it SHOULD be done, and il is
adding so much more to the value of
the farm.

Young men of England have. been
advised to come to America to engage
in raising mutton for the English
market. 1t is predicted that the sup
ply cannot keep pace with the
demand. Perhaps the young men of

consideration as this. Ii was before
Rob and Belle were old enough to earn
more than few pennies now and then,
and Willie was only four years old. This
doctor was gruff man. He came IN
one day and asked me if | could pay
him. The bill was only six dollars, to
be sure; it was only three visits. But
had been sick for several weeks, and
had only three dollars in the world. 1
can't pay you just now, | said, unless
| empty the children's banks. 1 sup"
pose you will never pay says he. 'Oh,
Yes,' I said, If the children will lend me
their money perhaps can pay you
now Rob and Belle brought their
banks forward at once, and, while [
was counting out the money, Willie ran
and cot his too. 1t took ala but ten
cents of the little fellows money to help
make up the six dollars.
''And did the scamp take it?" asked
the doctor.
"Indeed he did, replied Rob, ''and
he seemed very glad to get it, too. "
HE is disgrace to the profession. |
viii not ask who he is for fear | should
be tempted to give him piece of my
mind. But must not stay any longer;
my family are expecting me, and Willie
has waited very patiently for chance
to investigate that beautiful tree. BY
the way, | ran into the pantry before |
came from home, and tumbled together
what Christmas fare | could lay my
hands ON in a hurry. That is for you,
too, Willie, and you can pass it round to
the rest.
The doctor darted out and in the door,
and brought with him the basket, whose
contents he hastily piled upon the table
beside the surplus money he had dePos--
tied there. Willie's eyes glistened
again at sight of the nuts. oranges, figs,
bon bons, white and purple grapes and
bananas.
The doctor gave no time for THANKS;
but, waving the empty basket, Fa:xaaed
into the clear, bright night.
Upon the clear, bright night alone fell
the exclamation.

A CHRISTMAS RHYME.

/ count my treasures DER with care
The little toy that baby knew
a little sock of faded hue,
A little lock of golden hair.
Long years ago this Christmas time,
My little one, my all to me.
Sat robed in white upon my knee
And heard the merry Christmas chime
sTelI me, my little golden head,
If Santa Clause should come tonight
What shall he bring my baby bright
What treasure for my boy!" said.
And then he named little toy,
While in his honest, mournful eyes
There came look of sweet surprise
That spoke his quiet, trustful joy.
And as he lisped his evening prayer,
He asked the boon with childish grace.
Then toddling to the chimney place,
he hung his little stocking there.
That night, as frightening shadows crept
saw the white-winged angels come
With Heavenly music to our home
And kiss my darling as he slept.
They must have heard his baby pray'r,
For in the morn, with smiling face,
He toddled to the chimney place,
And found the little treasure there.
They came again one Christmas tide
IHd5 anger HOSt, So 1dlF anu W HAtc.
And singing all the Christmas night
They lured my darling from my side.
"A little sock, little toy,
A little lock of golden hair
The Christmas music on the air
A watching for my baby boy.
But if again that angel train
And golden head come back for me,
To bear me to eternity,
My watching will not be in vain.

!" FUTURES'''
The Farmers Duty to the Youth and to
American Agriculture.

The Farmers Duty to the Youth and to
American Agriculture.
The thoughtful and intelligent de-
plore the evils to society and individual
losses resulting from such numbers of
the rural population, among them
large per cent. of the young, who aban-
don agriculture and seek employment
in other pursuits, thus swelling the
ever-fowing current toward manufact-
uring centers and crowded cities. Is
the promise of pecuniary gain larger
and more certain? Are the opportun-
tiles for social pleasures more? To
those reared in the country, too often
the splendor and stirring activities of
the town dazzle the Imagination and
nislead the mind. They know nothing
of the priyations and hardships incident
to city life, and do not so fully as they
ought appreciate the advantages of
their country homes till perhaps the
lesson has been learned through long
and bitter experience. We must over
come this urban inclination-which
farmers everywhere observe and regret
by interesting the young people in the
work and management of the farm, and
in working with us in adjoining and
identifying the home.
Farm life is made too mond Dnous;
there is too little effort to awaken and
train the fine sensibilities. The energy
of the household is too often devoted
to the one purpose of accommodating
dollars and cents. Continuous cheer
less toll bears especially hard upon the
young. In the absence of provision to
supply the demands of their nature for
variety and change, they either grow
listless, lose energy and ambition, and
become mere farm drudges; or they
break away from this unreasonable
servitude and plunge into the great
outside world, exposed to al its snares.
But more of intelligence, that comes
through improved educational advan-
tages, together with improved farm
machinery, is teaching the farmer that
muscle alone is not the only requisite to
the best success.
Agricultural literature is a potent IN
fluence in breaking down that prejudice
and ignorance which so long enslaved
and degraded agriculture, and is de-
msnding for it just recognition as the
noblest, most useful and inviting of
human occupations. These enlightened
views of agriculture are the factors
that in the future are to induce our
young men to pursue with hopeful in
telligence the tilling of the soil. Farm
ers may do much to encourage in their
boys love of rural life by making the
home attractive in all its surroundings;
also by inducing them to take an inter
est not only in the necessary work, but
in the planning of the work and sharing
with them its fruitful returns. This will
give employment to mind as well fs to
hands; the drudgeH of dull, thought
less toll wiAbe aZktded and the farmer,
as age comes on will have the heart
warming satisfae tioltlf seeing his sons
growing up the Inheritance, with

voyage 10 the West lndies. Lemucl vii.

living near the little seacoast hamlet OF
Ocean View, south of Cape Henlopeu, Del.
aware. The vessel sailed beyond tho break
water, and the two wives might have seen
her spreading canvass ~ the schooner
passed their seaside home ont TO the
ueacherous ocean. Ii was a fatal
voyage, and as week succeeded
week, and month followed month without
uiings of vessel or crew, dread succeeded
anxiety; and as the months grew into Venrs
gloomy cast settled down upon the homes
of those who had gone down to watery
grave. Mrs. DaiSey, tho wife of the mate,
was less than twenty years OF age, and was
the daughter Of Captain Williams Mother
aud daughter, thus widowed 10y the sen,
were the last TO abandon all hopes of tho
return or the unfortunate master, mate or
crew OF the ili.starred schooner. One day
last year the wife Of Isaac Whar.
ton, wealthy resident OF Ocean View,
suddenly died, and few weeks altcrward
the wtdowcr asked Mrs. Williams 10 marry
hlm. After little struggle with TeCollpC-
uons OF the past she consented Soon
hl'tIWaIu MIS-. Geo. DniS"N married young
Luther Evans, and the memory of the two
unfortunate sailors began to fade away.
The neighhors and friends had long
since ceased 10 speculate upon the
fate OF the Mayicld and her crew. 4 few
months ago Captain Eben Williams, th"
son OF the lost captain, sailed i'm tho Mary
r. Fenwick FOR the same port 10 which hi,
father had started upon his last voyage.
As nothing was heard from his vessel for a
long time 10 was supposed that he had also
been lost at sea- Tho good people at Ocean
View and the surrounding country have
been, therefore, thrown into almost n
tumult OF excitement upon the receipt
Of information not only tho Captain
Of the Fenwck, but that Captain
l.cmuel Williams and his mate,
George Daisey, have been found The
former was reported safe at Trinidad, whilc
the other two were on their way to their
homes from far Eastern port. Mrs
Lemuel Williams. now Mrs. Israel Whnr-
ton, and George Daisey's wife received this
wonderful news with min gled feelings Of
dismay and pleasure. The gossips have
been busy every hour of the day, and the
end Of the dreadful complication in the two
households has been the theme OF all
tongues.

Still a Mystery.

BALTIMORE, MD., May 1.-THE mystery
surrounding the death and identity OF tho
beautiful young girl found sufrocated by
gas at the Niagara House, this city, on the
9th inst, has not vet been solved A few
days ago n young man giving his name as
X :. Roberts called upon the authorities
and said ho represented III. c. Roberts. re-.
siding at Pana, Putnam County, H.. who
was an uncle of the deceased young lady.
Her real name he refused 10 give, although
ho said she was known as Edna Tate, the
same name under which she registered
at the hotel. Young Roberts paid all
the funeral expenses and had her body
placed in vault in the Eastern Cemetery.
Miss Tate's effects. including the S26 found
in her pocket book, were given TO Roberts
Yesterday Marshal Gray received a letter
and photograph OF young girl from Mrs
Gundoiph, OF Mount Crawford, Rocking
nam County, Va, stating that her daughter
Jennie had been missing for Two weeks.
Mrs. Gundolph had seen an account of the
death of Miss Tate, and she was OF the
opinion from the description that the
deceased was her daughter The
picture was carefully examined, and
the proprietors OF the hotel and
others fully identified the picture with that
OF the dead girl. Accordingly, the body
was sent 10 Virginia last night. To-day
information was received from Virginia
that the body was not that of Mrs. Cum
dolph's daughter, and stating that the re.
mains would be sent back 10 Baltimore.
Hence, IL is not known who the deceased
really is. She is magniicently dressed
and had costly iewelry. Colonel Joyce,
the proprietor OF the Niagara Hotel, saws
he has received over forty letters inauiring
about young girls missing from their homes
who IL was thought might be the deceased
five OF the letters were from Chicago,
four from New York, eight from PbiladeI.
phia and seven from Virginia.
