September.

The gladstone summertime
Has swiftly passed and gone,
Autumn, with quiet footsteps,
Comes, creeping on.
The distant hills, so bright and blue,
On which we love TO gaze,
Half hidden from our sight they seem
In the dim haze
OF sweet September morn.
Oh, dreamy day! oh, golden day!
An earnest of the time to come
When we're away.
And what vision greetS the eye
The bending trellis, DER which the vine,
With purpling clusters, rich and rare,
Doth cling and Irvine;
The gathered grain, the ripening fruit,
The cleaning golden-rod
That bends and sways in every breeze
With friendly nod;
The hedgerow, glistening in the SIN
With gay autumnal hue
Each tender leaf and foweret
Seems born anew,
AS if to bid thee welcome,
Oh. rare September day!
Dawning SO calm, SO sweet.
To only fade away.
AS year by year the varied seasons roll,
And every earthly charm goes fieeting by;
Though life itself be but a passing hour,
Why should we sigh
There's One who in the hollow of His hand
Doth hold tie sea;
Though but CT sparrow worth
Yet he will care for me.

RECENT SHARK STORIEs.-Sharks seem
to be plentiful in the Chesapeake bay this
summer. Stories of their depredations in
fish pounds and their bold invasion of the
shallow waters of creeks and rivers here.
tofore free from them are numerous. Capt.
Matthews, of the steamer Helen, reports
a somewhat thrilling experience of Capt.
Thomas Fitzgerald and wife with shar
in Hunting creek, Accomac county, Va,
few days since. The two were going
down the creek in a small skiff when a
shark IA feet long rose to the surface OF
the water in the rear of the boat and fol-
lowed them. He swan so close to the
skiff that he was raped with paddle
several times, but he was OF driven away.
Mrs. Fitzgerald became terribly alarmed,
and her husband did not feel easy. The
shark grew holder every second, and final
Iy swan up alongside the boat, turned
over on his back and snapped his ponder
Gus jaws in a voracious manner. Capt.
Fitzgerald made all haste to the shore,
which he and his frightened wife reached
in safety, while the shark cruised about
in the water adjacent as if waiting for his
prey to again embark. Shark fishing at
Cobb's Island is favorite amusement
along the Atlantic coast. They use
stout rope capable of holding an OK, to
which is attached a hook of proper
strength. They bait the hook with some
thing which experience has taught them
the appetite OF the average shark cannot
resist, and then when they have hooked a
fellow ten or twelve feet long there is fun
on the beach for fifteen or. thirty minutes.
Last week they took shark in this way
which measured thirteen feet after a
lengthy and excited struggle. In cutting
him up, besides other odds and ends of
apparently indigestible material found in
his stomach, were the bones Of human
arm and leg FROM the knee down to the
foot.
Messrs. Carmine e West, fisherman, of
Occahannock creek, Va, it is reported by
officers of the Eastern Shore Steamboat
Company. took huge shark out of one
Of their fish ponds last week, which had
in him the bones of mans shoulder and
arm and a ragged gum shoe. All accounts
agree that sharks were never so numerous
in Chesapeake waters. Fish are scarce in
Miles river, which is attributed to the
presence of an unusual number of sharks.

table is rarely properly cooked. When
well prepared it is quite as healthful as

AT A meeting of the New York State
Agricultural Society, the following con-
cluslons were adopted on the applications
of manures: l. Manure which consists
chiefly of the droppings of animals should
be applied as soon as practicable to the soil.
2. Manure consisting largely of straw.
cornstalks or other fibrous matter should
be first rotted to become fine. 8. Manure
should be applied at or near the surface of
the soil or should be slightly buried.
4. For hoed crops, and especially corn
crops, it may be buried deeper than for
straw crops.

The practice of blowing under green
crops for manure is coming into fashion
again, with the difference that now tt 9
crops are not as formerly plowed in to
grow wheat. That ceased to pay with the
Western competition causing low prices
for this grain. But some grain crops
plowed under for potatoes or other
hoed crops enrich the soil more than it
can be by an equal expenditure of labor or
money. The green manure Is more evenly
distributed over the field than an equal
bulk could be in any other Way,
