HER FIRST SIeHr or i TREE.


ian invalid child who had lived in London
all her life, and had never seen a tree, was
taken into the country, together with many
others, ut the expense of ..fresh-air fund.-
She chung to one Of the tfachers in dreadful
alarm on seeing tree, and could not under
stand what such great green thing could be.
why don't it keep still2' she said. in parox-
ysm of terror. as the wind swayed its branches.
1t was only after some time that she could be
induced to go near enough to touchit.I
They took the little London girl from out the
city street
To where the grass was growing green, the
birds were singing sweet;
And everything. along the road so filed her
The look OF wonder fixed itself within her vio-
let eyes.
The breezes ran to welcome her; they kissed
And tried in every way they could their &c
stasy TO speak,
Inviting her to romp with them, and tumbling
Expecting she would laugh or scold like other
little girls,
But she didn't-no, she didn't; for this Grip
Had lived within a dingy court where sun
shine never smiled,
And for weary, weary days and months the
little one had lain
Confined within narrow ROOM and on
couch of pain.
The outdoor world was strange to her-the
broad expanse of sky,
The soft green grass, the pretty flowers, the
stream that trickled by;
But all at once she saw sight that made her
hold her breath,
And shake and trembIe as If she were fright
ened near to death.
Obi like some horrid monster of which the
child had dreamed,
With nodding head and waving arms, the
angry creature seemed;
1t threatened her. it Knocked at her. with gest-
ures and grimace
That made her shrink with terror from its SER
pent-like embrace
They kissed the trembling little one, they held
her in their arms,
And tried in every way they could to quiet her
alarms,
And said: 'Oh, what foolish little goose you
are to be
So nervous and SO terrified at nothing but a
treem
They made her go up close to it, and put her
arms around
The trunk. and see how firmly it was fastened
in the ground;
They told her all about the roots that chung
down deeper yet,
And spoke Of other curious things she never
would forget.
Oh, have heard of many, very many, girls
and boys
Who have to do without the sight Of pretty
books and toys,
Who have never seen the ocean: but the sad
dest thought to me
Is that anywhere there lives child who never
saw tree.

The closer corn roots can be kept

food and ample moisture, the better
will the object of a crop be attained.
This implies shallow blowing which en-

How I Raise Asparagus.

did no trenching with the spade,
but plowed the ground as deep as
possible, running twice in the same
furrow. l MANFRED heavily with barn
yard manure both before and after
blowing. After narrowing, I marked
the rows four feet apart with the
pillow, running several times in the
same place and throwing the dirt each
way. Then raked the dirt from the
bottom of the furrow with the hoe and
placed the plants two feet apart in the
row and covered them. The plants
were from a Seeding bed of my own,
two years old. | cut the roots quite
short and spread them out each way.
Should [ plant again I would set the
plants four feet by four, with the
crowns four to six inches below the
surface. Less than four inches is too
shallow; there will be many small and
worthless shoots. We cut some year
after planting, and for more than a
dozen years we have kept the patch cut
clear till near the last of June. Then
we let asparagus and foxtail, if any,
grow. Nothing more is done till the
ground is dry the next spring. Then
we cover the patch thiekly with straw,
which we have in plenty, and burn up
straw, stalks and seeds together. Then
we harrow thoroughly, mixing the
ashes with the top soil. Then we APP
ply q covering of barnyard manure,
and harrow again. We are now ready
to market asparagus as soon as it starts.
The only cultivation it gets is good
narrowing with two-horse harrow q
few times during the season, whenever
the weeds and grass begin to start a
little. The narrowing is done imme-
diately after cutting for market; always
the same day. There is very little
harm done. The stools are very broad,
and our crop better every year.

Castle Garden.

Castle Garden is one of the most
beneficent institutions in the world,
and owes its present uses largely to Dr.
Friedrich Kapp. now a member of the
Imperial German Reichsrath, but form-
erly resident of New York. It is
under the control of nine Commits
sioners of Emigration, appointed for
the term of six years by the Governor,
and confirmed by the Senate of the
State of New York. Thither let us fol-
low portion on the $3.50 immigrants
who arrived by seven different steamers
on the 10th day of May, 1882. The
name Of each, the date of his arrival,
place of departure, number of his FAM
lily (if any, whittier bound, his bust
ness, and other particulars, are all reg
istered. This record, together with
that of the cabin passengers, is COM
pared with the manifest of each Cap
tain, which manifest ought to exhibit
the names of all the persons he had on
board. It thus becomes a check on the
greed of some who have brought more
passengers than the law permits, or
than were named in the manifests.
Not only do the Commissioners of
Emigration protect their often helpless
charges against the extortions, robber-
les, and unspeakable villianies of the
human harpies who formerly infested
the docks, and preyed upon the luckless
incomers-not only do they supply in
terpreters, maintain an employment
bureau, assist in the exchange of funds.
purchase of tickets, forwarding of i'm
migrants and baggage-but they also
license the boarding house runners. and
subject them to rigid supervision.
They further provide for the sick and
disabled, the lunatics, and the ailing
women whose husbands, il sick, are
sent to the hospital on Wards Island,
furnish medicine to the ailing and
trusses TO the ruptured, and preserve
recorded particulars of all thus coming
under their special care by which they
may be found and identified in the
future.
Near the Information Bureau from
1000 to $500 people waiting inqnir-
ingly for their friends, have sometimes
been congregated at one time.
The grandly beneficent work of the
Emigration Commissioners deserves
better medical facilities than the miser-
ably inadequate hospital aeconmoda-
tons at their immediate command in
Castle Garden. New York does the
work and bears the expense connected
with foreign immigration, but the whole
country shares in its benefits. The
railroads especially profit by it. The
cash value of tickets purchased by in
ward-bound immigrants in 1881 was
more than i've million dollars. Moneys
to the value of eleven millions were ex-
changed in Castle Garden, and the esti-
mated amount of the drafts, bonds and
other representatives of specie value
brought in during the same year was
no less than one hundred million dol
lars. Castle Garden ought to be
national institution.-R. Wheahey, III

The Arms Of the Soudanese.


The principal weapon of the insur.
gent tribes is not, as some suppose, d
spear or jayelin which is thrown at tho
enemy, hut lance. The only tribo
which uses the iavelin' is that Of kh8
Mohammedan Jakruris. who are very
small in mum Der, and are settlers al
the Abyssinian frontier from Dariour
The best lances are those used by Bedis
and khaza races, which fought under
Osman Digma in the late engagements
near Suakim. These lances are rarely
thrown, being much too heavy for that
purpose, and the Bedjas are not pro.
vided, like the Abyssinians and SOM
ais, with q number of extra lanees
which they can use to replace anY
they have lost. The lances Of the Bag
CARA tribe, who are the principal sup
porters of the Mehdi in Kordofan, arc
entirely different from those used BIZ
the men under 0sman Digma. They
are upward of five meters long, and
have head, which is very sharp both
at the point and sides. about eighty
eentimeters long and twelve wide. The
Baggars are well mounted, and afe
very skillful in the use of their lanees,
Next to the lance, the weapon most
used by the Soudanese is the stra' gAt

are also used; bows and arrows hasa

The shields used BY the Soudanese are
made of the skins Of elephants, rlinos-
ceroses, giraffes and butfaloes. They
are generally round and of about fliig
centimeters diameter, but the ShnkTseA
and other tribes on the Blue Nile haEe

The Song Of . Wood Thrush.


The song of this bird defies descrip-
ton, though it has inspired both ex-
trayagant and poetical attempts in the
most prosaic of writer's. When heard
from q distance, it sounds very deliber-
ate: a succession of detached passages,
with frequent pauses, ending in q thrill,
sometimes easily distinguished as such,
but often so rapidly delivered that it re-
sembles the syllable ssche-e-en with a
peculiar and indescrihable thrill in it.
If You are near, however, you will find
the pauses filled with low notes, having,
apparently, no connection with the
song. One can not but fancy them to
be irrepressible words of endearment,
inefably sweet and tender, and wonder
fully enhancing the charm of the per
Torrance.
He is not chary of his gift. He sings
at all hours of the day, excepting in
the heat of noon; but he seems most
keenly to enjoy the fading light of
afternoon and the evening, till long
after dark. Not little of the mystery
and melancholy that poetical minds
find in his music is due to the thought
full twilight hours in which it is heard.
1t is in itself far from sadness. Indeed,
there can be no more perfect picture of
deep JOY than this beautiful bird, stand
ing TRANQUILITY on his branch, while
giving slow utteranee to notes that
thrill your soul.
The weather is a matter of no mo-
ment to the wood thrush; he has soul
above externals. Other birds may be
full of song, or moping on their perches;
be it wet or dry, sunshine or shade, he
sings, and sings, and sings.
''Howsoe'er the world goes ill,
The thrushes still sing in IT,"
The strongest attraction of certain
summer home in the heart of the Allie
gheny Mountains is the song of this
bird. Around the house feathered visit
ors are always numerous, but no wood
thrush is ever seen. Late in the after
noon, however, when other songsters
are settling themselves for the night,
and, save the robin chatter, no sound
of bird is heard, out of the deep woods
which surrounds the small clearing
comes the stirring evening hymn of the
thrush. 1t begins with q clear, far off
prelude of three notes on an ascending
scale; then a deliberate rest, followed
by three other and different notes, and
ending in rapturous trill After de-
corous pause another takes up the
strain. There is no haste, no inter-
ruption, never q clamor of song. Each
one enjoys MS full length of time. and
though there may be a dozen singers
within hearing, there is no confusion.
Each rich solo is a complete whole,
perfect as pearl. To sit on a balcony
OF that house through the long. tran
quill hours of approaching night. listen
ing TO the grand and lofty symphony,
is neyer-to-be-forgotten experience;
lifting the soul above the earth into
regions of poetry and dreams -OkUe
