The Old Flag of the Regiment.

tC. B. Johnson, in the Curentl
 Twenty years had gone by since the old flag was placed in the arsenal, and again stood under its folds.
 And do you wondes that the pulses coursed freer, that the heart overfowed with tender memories, that 8 strange and melting sense of mingled pride and sadness pervaded the whole being2
 Aye, this was the old hag-the old flag of the regiment
 First it was put at the head of a full thousand men, and at the head it re. mained, while more than three years oi wars dread experiences, of forced march, of battle, of siege, of pestilent camp, oi enemy's prisons, bat never of disgrace, made our numbers less than two hundred strong. But at the head of this remnan, was still the old flag. And when at las, victory came and white winged peace like an angel of merry, settled over the land, reverently the old flag was placed in the arsenal. And here, twenty years later, like pilgrim to his Mecca, came and stood once more by its side.
 Tenderly the tattered and time-worn flag is unrelled, and upon it, in fast fad ing letters, dimly, through tears, I read "Port Gibson" Champion Hills, ,' Black River Bridge" Siege of Vicks. burg" Jackson" Spanish Fort, ,""Cap. ture of Mobile"
 From the folds of the old flag the fin. ger of time is fast rem owing these names but upon the tablets of memory they have been severely, but tineffaceably, chis. eled by vars rude hand.
 Each name means 6 battle. Each battle means comrades maimed and friends dead. Each means carnage, sui fering. dying, death. Each means deadly danger, sickening experience, and hair breadth escape.
 Each means the blanched cheek, bated breath and huttering heart to him who stood frmest and came out unharmed Each means terrible suspense, overpow- ering grief and lasting heartache to many of the dear ones at home.
 To the eye these names reveal ghastly wounds, mangled bodies and the pros- trate form, only little while before in the full vigor of health, now in the still, cold embrace of death.
 To the ear they carry the shells horrid shriek, the bullets deadly whistle, the agonizing cry and the dying groan.
 To the heart they bring harrowings of pity for agonizing pain of grief for the dead ; of anxious fear for the living.
 But hearken, ye patriotsl These dim words tell of great conflicts for the right the dead, the maimed, the broken heart-strings, are but the prices paid for liberty's triumph.
 These fading letters tell of brave spirits and heroic effort, of unshaken faith in truth and manly persistence in its defense, of stout hearts and unflinching courage, of strong arms and daring deeds, of un- faltering purpose and grand achievement, of dangers incurred and triumphs won, of great issues at stake and mighty con- fiicts for victory.
 These names, these battles, with many more like them, are rounds in a long ladder of triumph, upon which a great people ascended from turmoil to peace, from slavery to liberty, from rebellion to union

 Ladies who have seen thirty summers come and go and still mourn because "he cometh not" should not despair. Ninon de PEnclos received declaration of love on her eightieth birthday. It may be a long time to wait, but better late tha an new CT, and sometimes the later it is the better. There are thousands of women toiling to-day to support family of children and a shiftless husband who wish they had not received a declaration of love until they were eighty years old.

Somewhere in de throng appearing,
Tramping down along de line.

Google eyed each face to scan;

Her true image he had kept,
And in fancy heard the patter,

CHICKEN CHOLERA.

The department of agricultural
publishes the following remedy, rec
commended by DR.. Salmon, for pre-
venting chicken cholera: A solution
made by adding three pounds of sui
phuric acid TO forty gallons of water
Cor one-fourth pound sulphuric acid
to three and half gallons of water)
mixing evenly by agitating or stir
ring. This may be applied to small
surfaces with a small watering pot,
or to larger grounds with a barrel
mounted on wheels and arranged like
a street sprinkler. In disinfecting
poultry houses the manure must be
first thoroughly scraped up and re-
moved beyond the reach of the fowls /;
slight sprinkling is not sufficient,
but the floors, and roofs and grounds
must be thoroughly satuated with the
solution, so that no particle of dust,
however small, escapes being wet.
1t is impossible to thoroughly disin-
feet if the manure is not removed
from the troosting places. Sulphurie
acid is very cheap, costing at retail
not more than 20 cents pound, ant
at wholesale not more than or
cents. The barrel of disinfectins
solution can therefore be made fo
less than 81, and should be thorough
ly applied. 1t must be remembered

CUTTING AND CURING
IT. d CLOVER.

Good well-cured clover is good
feed, especially for sheep; but when
black and dusty it is hardly fit to
place before stock. Under ordinary
circumstances it can be had sweet,
clean and bright, as well as other
wise. If the mower is started in the
morning, run it until noon or later,
and rake and put up the clover in
cocks before you quit the field at
night. 1t will cure almost as much
there during the night, by heating,
as in the daytime, and it will leave
the blossoms and leaves all intact ;
exposure to hot sun causes them to
fall of, leaving only the bare stalk
to 60 to the stack or NOW. Early in
the morning, when the dew is off,
turn the cocks, shake up the clover
once or more before dinner, and i'm
medlately after 1t Will be ready fOr
the barn. Some prefer to NOW late
in the afternoon, letting the clover
lie in the swath over night, to be
stirred, raked, and hauled in the fol-
lowing day; but if heavy dew OIL
rain falls during the night, the hay
will be black and stock will eat il
less eagerly. Caps of cotton clott
can be used to good advantage te
cover the clover when in cocks. Near
the cities clover is often sold in small
bundles to be fed to city horses as 6
kind of "dessert" OIL Alternative. i
can be made highly profitable to any
one conveniently situated.

EARLINESS OF CORN.

Each variety of corn requires
certain sum of heat, divided over in
season of growth, to secure its ma
turity. Some varieties require very
much more heat than others. With
that quantity of heat they may be
just as early, but without it they will
be very much later. For instance,
the Sanford corn is very early va
riety in southern and western New
York, moderately early in the Cham
plain valley, land altogether too late for
Orleans county. A southern New
York farmer would call it ninety day
corn, and would be astonished if told
that it would not ripen in less than
one hundred and twenty days in
northeastern Vermont. .H
Take another view of the same
subject, and it will be instructive. A
ninety day corn of northern Vermont
if taken to southern New York
would indeed mature early, but gen.
orally it would give a much lighter
crop than where it came from. 1t
gets its needed sum of heat, but gets
it in so short a time that it is not
able to go lightly through its success
siye stages Of growth. The unac-
customed hot weather hurries it toe
much, and the result is poorly-filled
ears and a light crop of inferior corn.
These are points which have moi
been properly recognized by writers
on the subject, yet they are import.
ant ones.

A pretty and novel way of arrang-
ing the fancy cards that accumulate
in our homes from time to time, came
to my notice while ago, and any
of our girls can make beautiful Or
nament for the parlor in this way.
From new Japenese parasol the
handle was cut off to within three
inches of the top. Every other reed
or rib, was loosened from the cover
all its length, except small space at
the top and edge, and through the
loosened reeds the ends of the cards
were stuck, the top of every succeed
ing row of cards overlapping those
previously stuck; thus only the most
beautiful part of each card was
brought into view. The cards were
stuck from the extreme edge clear
around the outer edge, and they ex-
tended clear up to the handle. Small
er cards were used as the circumfer-
ence narrowed. Balls were made of
rich colored zephyrs, and suspended
| from the end of each reed. The dec
Grated parasol was fastened up in
the corner of the room, some five or
six feet from the floor. Four pms,
two stuck through the edge into the
wall, some ten inches apart sufficed
to keep it in place. From the short
ened handle beautiful heart-shaped
valentine, lovely creation of gold
and painted blue satin, edged with
white silk fringe, was suspended by
silken string, and on the end of the
handle was stuck picture of a SOL
emn-eyed owl perched on the branch
of tree which overhung a deeply
flowing stream. This unique and
beautiful ornament attracted great
deal of attention and elected many
expressions of admiration from visit
ors, and every one asked how it was
made. Perhaps some of you may
have similar arrangement of cards
but, doubtless, there are many Others
who would like to try this way Of
disposing eff their pretty cards. Fo
my part | much prefer it to the bool
!; arrangement of cards, which is, in
t deed, good way to arrange then
for children. Some may object Il
: the parasol of picture on tn,
score of dust, perhaps, but this cal
: be avoided by tucking large piec
of tissue paper over the affair to re
e main there during tbs process o
sweeping and busting. OF course
one can exercise her individual tast
:. in the arrangements the cards, an,
one good thing about it IS that th
d position of one or more cards can b
i easily changed or altered at an
is time without disturbing the others.

SUMMER SEEDING TO GRASS.

The most successful seeding to
grass may be done in July and Au-
gust, after the grain crops are taken
off. The present year has been bad
for the seed sown last fall. The
hard winter destroyed the timothy,
and the late spring has interfered
greatly with the seeding of the clo-
yer. AS rule it may be said that
summer seeding is more successful
than spring and fall seeding, but the
ground must be thoroughly prepared.
The whole secret lies in this repara-
ton. The following plan has been
found excellent. The stubble is well
plowed, not more than four inches
deep, and Immediately narrowed in a
thorough manner. There are sever
al new implements which do this
work in the best manner, pulverizing
the soil, levelling the surface and
smoothing it, so as to get the land in
the most perfect condition for the
seed. After all this has been done
and the furrow marks obliterated,
the seed is sown and the surface i'm
mediately rolled. If this is done in
July nothing more is required. If it
is left later, it will be desirable to
SOW turnip seed, at the rate of one
pound per acre, with the grass seed.
This affords protection for the young
grass and clover in the fall and win
ter. We have found it good plan
to leave the turnips on the ground
and not gather them. They will be
killed by the frost, and the leaves
falling down, furnish protection TO
the grass during the winter, and in
the early spring when so much dam
age is usually done by the alternate
thaws and frosts. The grass will
usually furnish one cutting the same
season, but 1t should not be pastured
as the surface is not yet firm enough
nor the plants sufficiently we'll rooted
to stand such Anne, ican Ag-
Ticulturjst.

too that sulphuric acid is a danger
Gus dug to handle. as, when undu-
lated, it destroys clothing and cauter-
ICES the flesh wherever it touches.


SHORT PAsTURING VERY EXHAUST
w.t. is full time that we should
take more thoughtfnlly into consider
alton the only possible effect of close
pasturing-as indeed pasturing at all
on small farms that are not too rich.
Any observing person may see how
this exhaustion takes place. AS fast
as the growing plant takes up avail
able food from the soil and starts a
blade of grass, it is bitten off and APP
propriated by the animal instead of
remaining part of the plant as top
to feed the root from the atmosphere,
aud the root is left to repeat the same
process again until all available food
in reach of the root is exhausted.
No one knows better than the farmer
that this is the way to destroy plants
not wanted, and it only requires two
or three seasons to complete the work
if thoroughly done.
The idea seems to prevail that the
droppings of cattle will keep up the
fertility and furnish plant food, and
that this is partially true we do not
deny; but cattle feed in one place
and drop their manure in another,
and if all the manure were evenly
spread on the top, one half would be
wasted by evaporation and never
would reach the roots; and if it did
could not make reparation to them
for the loss of top.

The Sluggard will not Plow by
Reason of the Cold.

Reason OF the colo.
Doth the thoughtful wise man say
To give law of compensation play
That pinching cold is necessity?
Which spurs men on to industry;
AS so much night, for much day,
So much bright, then darker ray,
So much evil, for so much good,
Or so much toll, for so much food,
Reward is not for industry,
Without the burden felt may be.
Peace for good men, hath no charm,
Except it follow wars alarm.
Oh no! this doctrine will not do
For Gentle, tho it fit Jew.
Who would at once exalted be,
Will first accept divine decree,
And wait not in service to be prepared
By him who gives the obedient rest.
Am numbered Lord with those
Who by inaction seek repose,
And need the Christening of thy rod,
To make me mindful of thy good
To fit my heart to sing thy praise,
And not forget thy wonderous ways;
To make me thoughtful of the blessings
Too oft bestowed on me transgressing?
Confde to me some little trust,
My soul is thine, my body dust.
Since thou didst labor hitherto,
Give me on earth some work to do.
Teach me Oh Lord to stout maintain
That love returned to thee is gain.
The more we give, the more we have,
This kind of conversation, save!
Forgetful may never be
OF thine eternal charity.
IT'S strange, that where the Lord hath blessed,
Good men should deem themselves accursed;
And call the boon of toll and strife
Which ministers to increase of life
An evil, which for broken law was SENT
To torture all for the ebedient.
There surely is no greater joy,
Than he may have without alloy,
Who takes the order, as it twas given,
By the Creator of earth and heaven,
And eats his bread in toll and sweat,
With thanks to him who guides his feet
Men who unto themselves are law,
Will oft ii their own work find flaw;
But they who in Gods way shall walk,
Will never meet with fear or shock
