And meath the clustering haw thorn bougbs
Lovers are breathing their tender VOWS.

Cheeks glow and dimple and red lips part
And. oh. how fondly heart answers heart,
For very gladness young pulses sing
All. love is a 'wldering, witching thing:
An exquisite. tremnlous heaven-born etrain
That fills the soul with delicious pain.
We have been lovers for forty years;
o dear cheeks. faded and worn with tears,
What an eloquent story oflove ye tell!
Your roses are dead, yet love ye well.
o pale brow shrine i'll soft silvery hair!
Drowned with life's sorrow and lined with

Let me read by the light of the stars above
Those dear, dear records of faithful love.
Ah fond. fond eyes, of my own true wife!
Ye have shown so clear through my cheouered

Ye have shed such Joy On its thcrny way,
That annot think ye are dim to-day.
Worn little hands, that have toiled so long,
Patient and loving, and brave and strong!
Ye will never tire, ye will never rest,
Until you are crossed on my darline's breast .

And prov - hat the holiest love dnll last

CULTIVATION OF BARLEY.-In the
spring wheat growing sections, there IS lit
tie or nothing to be gained by sowing bar
ley instead of wheat, unless the barley is
of the highest quality and commands a
high price. In the winter-wheat sections,
barley is more extensively grown as a crop
to precede wheat. The crop is harvested
in ample time to admit of the land being
got into good condition for wheat. A poor
crop of barley is a nuisance. Half the
crop is sometimes left on the ground among
the clods, owing to the difficulty of cutting
and raking it, and the farmer feels dis
couraged and is apt to relax his efforts
when promptness and energy are so much
needed in preparing the land for wheat.
Barley needs the best of land and the best
of tilth. 1t is no use sowing it on wet
land, or land that is foul or cloddy. Early
sowing is essential, and for this reason,
many of our best farmers plow the land in
the autumn, and merely harrow or culti-
vate, or at most lightly gang-plow in the
spring. 1t is also quite common to drill in
two hundred pounds of superphosphate
per acre with the seed. Two bushels of
seed per acre is the quantity usually sown.
Some of our best farmers drill in only one
and half bushel to the acre.-Americaa

A VALUABLE PAPER.-If Macauley,
while in the House of Commons, at his en-
trance into public life, could deplore the
flippancy of the debates in that body, what
ought judicious observer to say about
those in the popular branch of our Con-
gressI The critic who would undertake
this task would be overwhelmed with the
material. and provocations to caustic refec-
tons would be without end. The excep-
tions to the rules are few and far between,
but we are glad to say that in point OF dig
nifty and force the Virginia Democrats keep
up to the standard of sound sense and de-
corum which survives from the better days
of our National Assembly. AS case in
point. we may mention the recent report
drawn by the Hon. John Randolph Tucker,
on the '.power of the President TO negoti-
ate treaties with foreign Governments"
This is a paper ofgreat merit. 1t contains,
in a ompact form all the learning that ap-
plies to the question, and while President
Cleveland is examining the treaties, pre-
sented by Mr.. Arthur, we trust he will con-
suit the pages of the Tucker report

1t was grand, q touching scene,
Amidst the sureing tide,
Amidst the waving Of the flags,
And shouts of Joy ano pride,
To see the good man stand 20 calm
And by his act declare
That deep down in his noble heart
Sweet mother thoughts were there.
So he brought his mothers Bible,
And pressed 1t firmly as he swore
His duty sacredly to do
As he had done before.
Twas but faded little book
That he had kept for years;
But 1t was traced with mothers hand,
And blotted with her tears.
And doubtless she had taught her boy
To read Its sacred pages,
And he in 1t true wisdom found
That gives him fame for ages.
But, o! how sweet amidst his fame,
Fame time can ne'er eclipse,
To take this precious bible
And press 1t to his lips.
Then need we fear with such man
That God in mercy now has sent
To trust our country and its cause
To such a President.

HOW TO RAISE CHICKENs.-There are so
many different breeds of fowls that there Is
certainly an opportunity for all lovers Of
poultry to suit their own fancy. Yet it is
difficult for farmer to get just the kind
that he wants. He desires flock of hens
that will lay plenty of eggs, produce good
meat for the table, not try to sit all sum-
mer, or do too much running over the grain
fields. We have found the Leghorns excel
lent layers, but they forage too much, go to
the back end of the farm to scratch up the
corn, and fly to the highest part ofthe barn
to get on the wheat NOW or grain stacks
Most strains of Brahmas are intolerable sit
ters. We have finally made choice of tee
Plymouth Rocks for farm breed, although
in some respects they may be surpassed by
others. The fowls should be provided with
a building for their exclusive use. With
we'll planned poultry house the care of fowls
is lessened. and the annoyance of having
them scratching everywhere is prevented
Considering the value of good flock of
chickens, the profit in keeping them well,
and the fertilizing qualities of the manure,
it is strange that the fowls should be neglect
ed as they are on many farms. The horse
and COW. stables are cleaned every day; why
should not the hen house? Keep their house
clean and odorless, if you would be success
fut with fowls. Have good floor under
the roost, which can be scraped clean every
day. After cleaning, sprinkle sawdust over
the floor. Whitewash the inside of the
building frequently, and keep the air pure.
Keep lice away by placing tobacco leaves
in the nest of the sitting hen. Pour small
quantity of kerosene along the roosting
poles. If you do all this and cannot kill
the lice, then kill the hens! In summer the
chickens should have the run of a roomy,
grassy yard, if they cannot be allowed at
large on the farm. In winter feed plenty
of green food, such as cabbage leaves, etc.
Summer and winter, give the hens milk,
sour milk or buttermilk, and the eggs will
be plentiful. Have an arrangement for
watering, SO that the young chicks will not
be tempted to drown themselves in the wa
ter-trough where the horses drink.-Amer-
ican Agriculturist for April.
