THE SAILORS GRAVE.


The oceans varying blue and green
Have changed to gray with night;
And from the western sky has paled
The saffron-colored light.
There fingers in the dusky east
a f1ush-so faint it seems
AS if the sun-forsaken sky
Were blushing in her dreams.
And now across the plane of heaven
The moon and slow stars creep.
As Ger the darkening fields at eve
Some shepherd leads his sheep.
And out upon the trembling depths
Lies wavering to and fro
The moonlight path, where sailors say
Strange phantoms come and go.
A company unseen. unheard,
A weird and shadowy throng,
Who rise with the rising moon to walk
This pathway all night long.
The semblances of swarthy men,
Pale shades of vikings fair,
And women with the seaweed dank
Entangled in their hair.
o summer moon, hide, hide thy face!
o bright path on the deep,
In darkness fade away. and let
The shipwrecked sailors sleep!

Another wrap of much the same shape is
figured in the cut. 1t was an extremely
handsome garment of golden otter, natural
color, which is little lighter than the
natural SEAL The fur is as soft as long
piled velvet, and shows the most beautiful
shading of light or dark, according to the
way in which it is stroked. The tabs in
front were very long, and the whole gar
ment was edged with broad band of tapped
skunk. the pointed ends of the tabs having
each three tails.
Skunk is popular for trimmings this year
and is really not a cheap fur, as so much
labor has to be put into its dressing and
preparation. The skins come in from the
country at about 81 apiece; but many Of
them are not worth that after they are
plucked. The poorer qualities are sent
abroad to those benighted lands where the
''Mephitis Americana" is unknown. where
it commands good price.
A new combination this season is OF seal
SKIN and astrakhan. The effect is odd and
rich, and short garment made of these
materials had ''dressy" and elaborate air,
the astrakhan trimming on the smooth dark
seal reminding one of the effects sometimes
produced by heavy lace upon other fabrics.

GOOD NIGHT.

The tales are told, the songs are sung,
The evening romp is over.
Ana up the nursery stairs they climb,
With little buZzing tongues that chime
Like bees among the clover.
Their busy brains and happy hearts
Are full of crowding fancies;
From song and tale and make-believe
A wonderous web of dreams they weave
And airy child romances.
The starry night is fair without;
The new moon rises slowly;
The nursery lamp is burning faint;
Each white-robed like little saint,
Their prayers they murmur lowly.
Goodnight The tired heads are still,
On pillows soft reposing.
The dim and dizzy mist of sleep
About their thoughts begin to creep,
Their drowsy eyes are closing.
Good night! While through the silent air
The moonbeams pale are streaming,
They drift from daylight's noisy shore,
Blow out the light and shut the door,
And leave them to their dreaming.

ANIMALS.
The PeculIarities and Likes and Dislikes
of Our Stock.

The Peculiarities and Likes and Dislikes
of Our Stock.
Why should we ignore the likes and
dislikes of our stock? Even if no care
for their own happiness prompts us to
inquire what would most crafty their
natural appetiteS, the desire to see our
cattle thrive ought to stimulate us to
study their likes and dislikes, and thus
learn what Nature and animal hygiene
require, Have you ever watched COW
browsing where unwholesome weeds
formed the largest feature of the
pasture? You could not fail to have
observed, had you taken the trouble,
that the weeds and mischievous vegeta-
ton were studiously avoided by the ami
NAL. 1t is safe assertion that Nature
instinctively leads animals free to fol-
low the bent OF their own desires, to
forage on only what will be for their
good; the closer we can get to these
silent intimations by the dumb animals,
the nearer we are to the philosophy of
good breeding and rearing of stock.
Stock fed continuously upon the same
food, as is so often the case, must be-
come extremely tired of their diet, as
would be true in greater degree in the
human family; and food eaten without
relish can hardly be of the same eff
cheney as that which is taken up with
avidity. A good appetite bespeaks
health and capacity to do something
with the food devoured. No one will
fail to keep the appetite vigorous who
appreciates the value of keeping his
stock vigorous and thrifty. A world of
wisdom, which only the careful OBJ
server is accessible to, is locked up in
the natural desires of animals, and the
results of good work in handling stock
will run parallel with the amount of
this knowledge we have been able to
Gull from our experiences. 1t will be
we'll before adopting Innovations in the
character of food stuffs, such as are
constantly being thrust before the
stock-grower, to test them by Natures
laws of fitness, and of the likes or dis
likes of an unpampered appetite in tho
cattle. .-National Lape Stock Journal.

Grapevine mildew, says the Gar
deners' Monthly, can be prevented by
soaking stakes on which the vines
twine in solution of blue vitriol. A
recent experiment, where such stakes
were mixed with others not soaked,
throughout the vineyard, showed that
in every case where not soaked all the
leaves were entirely ruined, while those
in the soaked stakes were healthy. A
weaker solution of the vitriol was not
so effective. The effect of the soaking
gradually dies out, but will last from
four to six years
