THE SPOILERS DOOM
Well, my friends, alcoholism is imperial,
and it is conqueror, and there are good
people who say the night of national over
throw is coming, and that it is almost night.
But before shutdown the conqueror of earth
and heaven will ride in on the white horse,
and alcoholism, which has had its Austerlitz
of triumph, shall have its Waterloo of defeat.
Alcoholism having lost its crown, the grizzly
and cruel breaker of human hearts crazed
with the disaster, will be found feeling in
vain for the stirrup on which to remount its
foaming charger. g So, o Lord, let thine
enemies perish -

EARLY SPRING.

Once more the Heavenly Power
Makes all things new,
And domes the red-plow'd hills
With loving blue:
The blackbirds have their wills,
The throstles, too.
Opens door in Heaven;
From skies of glass
A Jacobs ladder falls
On greening grass,
And DER the mountain walls
Young angels pass.
Before them fleets the shower,
And bursts the buds.
And shine the level lands,
And flash the floods;
The stars are from their hands
Flung thro' the woods;
The woods by living airs
How freshly fann'd,
Light airs from where the deep,
All down the sand,
is breathing III his steep,
Heard by the land
O follow, leaping blood,
The seasons lure!
0 heart, look down and up,
Serene, secure,
Warm as the crocus-cup,
Like snow drops, pure!
Past, future. glimpse and fade
Thro' some slight spell,
Some CLEAN from yonder vale.
Some fair blue fell,
And sympathies. how frail,
In sound and smell.
Till at thy chuckled note,
Thou twinkling bird,
The fairy fancies range,
And, lightly stirr'd,
Ring little bells of change
From word to word.
For now the Heavenly Power
Makes all things new
And thaws the cold and fills
The flower with dew;
The blackbirds have their wills,
The poets, too. -Iennys0n.

Peaches Again In New England.

Mr.. Van Duzen, delegate to the
Connecticut State Board meeting at
Waterbury, fruB The Shaker family
OF Enfield, reported al orchard or
one and a quarter acres set TO peach
trees seven years ago, that has al
ready produced an income of $4,000.
The land is upon an elevated situa-
ton, but is not very rich. M. Van
Duzen prefers rather poor land. such
as will not induce an over rapid
growth Of wood. When the annual
growth at the ends of the limbs falls
below fifteen inches, be feeds the
trees with light dressings Of CONNER
cial fertilizers. Last year. he applied
one ton Of 9ra'Iley's fertilizer TO the
one and a quarter acres. Hoed crops
we're grown between the trees three
or four years The new growth Is
cut back every season 70 keep the
branches strong. The fruit Is thinned
when the trees set more than they

LIME FOR PoULTRY.-Poultry need
lime with their food. The common
food alone will not furnish lime
enough for full supply Of eggs. In
a state Of nature hen would lay q

for the season. The ordinary food
would supply this small demand.
But when ben lays 100 eggs she
viii want as much lime In 3 month

This excess must be supplied. Crush

WASHINGTON Letter.

FROM OUR REGULAR CoRRESPONDENT.)
Washington, Dec. 8, 1884.
The first week of the second session
Of the Forty. eighth Congress passed
without exciting or memorable Incl
dent. President Arthurs last message
was received and read. Marshall
Wright Of Ohio was impeached in con-
ncction with the Cincinnati October
election, and an investigation of the
matter agreed upon. New bills were
offered, and discussion On the Inter
State Commerce bill ran for several
days. After four daily sittings, Con-
gress grew weary, and rested from its
labors until today.
But the chief interest centers in the
political rather than in the legislative
outlook. Just now, the filling of two
seats in the United States Senate, one
from each of the great states of New
York and Pennsylvania, is exciting at
tention. Senator Cameron will prob
ably be returned from the latter state,
now that his health is better, but what
the complicated situation in New York
may develop cannot be predicted
President Arthur would like the seat,
but of course his present position for.
bids him from active or personal can
dldacy. For several days a number Of
his prominent New York friends have
been guests at the White House, and a
part of each day in conference with Mr..
Arthur. 1t is understood that he is
not willing to 60 into scramble for
the Senatorship, nor to have his name
mentioned as the candidate of fac
ton. Consequently he has not decided
what course to advise his friends to
pursue, Andy Johnson, you remem-
Der, went to the Senate after the cxpi-
ration of his Presidential term, and
should Mr.. Arthur do the same, there
would be the strange coincidence Of
two ex-presidential Senators, both Of
whom attained the Presidency through
the accident Of assassination.

The November crop report OF the
Department of Agriculture has just
been issued. 1t shows that the average
corn yield in Maryland exceeds that of
any other State south of Mason and
D;xon's line. The total product of corn
for the year is estimated as above 800 :
100000 bushels, an average rate Of Il
little more than 26 bushels to the acre
The greatest yield was in Nebraska
$50. The average in Maryland was
90 bushels. in Tennessee 81, IN Virgin.
ia Is. The average in New York was
80; in Pennsylvania 81. The dry season
with late rrosts, has develope | high
quality in corn that was properly cul.
t;vated. There is little loss from soft
corn cut down by early frosts.
The crop of potatoes i: not equal in
quantity to that OF last year, yet me-
dunn yield, approaching 90 bushels
per acre, has been grown. The aggre-
gate quantity will evidently not vary
greatly from 49,, 100000 bushels. The
following is the report from Maryland:
Hartford, crop sho, tened by drought;
Somerset, late crop almost nothing; -
Worcester, late crop almost worthless;
Montgomery, not ro.tlng, but small on
account Of drought; scab very p"rva-
lent; QAeen Anne, only raised for fam
lily use.
In reference to the new wheat crop
the reports says: In all the wheat grow
ing States along the Atlantic and Gulf
coast, from Pennsylvania to Texas, pro-
longed dry wheather has retarded the
examination and growth Of the newly
sown wheat, and in many cases has de.
laycd or prevented sowing or even ren :
dered it impossible to plough the land.
1t is in Maryland, Virginia the Caro-
linas and Georgia that the drought has
been most severe, and its effects in pre-
venting the sowing of wheat or the
growth Of which has been shown have
been more general.
