A Warning.

A Warning.
1hey met beside the sea-beat shore
In dog days apathetic;
He was q learned pedsgogue,
And she q maid poetic;
They met, they loved, within fog,
The maiden and the pedagogue.
She dotted on the picturesque,
And he on natural history,
And while he unused above the shell
Which made the clam mystery
She sweetly chanted poetry
One summer by the dark blue sea.
Or tinkling OF her light guitar
Upon the wavelets flowing,
He in pursuit Of Jelly hsh
And her came lightly rowing,
The moon blinked softly through the fog
Upon the maid and pedagogue.
They welded ere they went TO town;
But, oh, the sad confusionf
They found when they could know the truth,
Their love was but delusion;
That dreams and natural history
Would not by any means agree.
And now they lift warning voice,
Fraught WITH intense etnetien,
TO all the summer men ami maids
who tarry BY the ocean
sDeceit,u they cry, ais In a foglu

SELECT POETRY.
NEAR THE DAWN.

When life's shadows gather darlly
Round the way we follow here,
When no hope the sad heart lightsns
No voice speaks word of cheer;
Then the thoughts the shadows scatter,
Giving us a cheering ray
When the night appears the darkest,
Morning is not far away.
When adversely surrounds us,
And our sunshine friends pass by,
And the dreams so fondly cherished
With our scattered treasures lie;
Then amid such gloomy seasons
This sweet thought can yet be drawn:
When the darkest hour Is present
1t is always near the dawn.
When the spirit tluttering fingers
On the confines of this life,
Parting from all joyful memories,
And from every scene of strife,
Though the scene is sad and gloomy,
And the body shrinks in fear,
These dark hours will soon be vanished
And the glorious morn be here.
Pain cannot affect us always,
Brighter days will soon be here,
Sorrow may Cypress us often,
Yet happier time is near;
All along our earthly journey
This reflection lights our way,
Natures darkest hour is always
Just before the break of day.

MISCELLANEOUS.
ELL LNYEasAN AGRIC ULTURIsT.

During the past season | was con-
siderably interested in agriculture.
/ met with some success, but not
enough to madden me with joy. 1t
takes good deal of success to un-
screw my reason and make it totter
on its throne. Eve had trouble with
my liver, and various other abnormal
conditions of the vital organs, but old
reason sits there on HIS or her throne,
as the case may be, through it all.
Agriculture has a charm about it
which | cannot adequately describe.
Every product of the farm is furnish
ed by nature with something that
loves it, so that it will never be neg
lected. The grain crop is loved by
the wevil, the Hessian fly, and the
chinch bug; the watermelon, the
squash and the cucumber are loved
by the squash bug the potato is
loved 10y the potato bug; the sweet
corn is loved by the ant, thou slug
gard the tomato is loved by the cut
worm; the plum is loved by the cur
culio, and so forth, and so forth, SO
that no plant that grows need be q
wall flower. Early blooming and
extremely dwarf joke for the table.
Plant as soon as there is no danger
of frosts, in drills four inches apart
When ripe, pull it, and eat raw with
vinegar. The red ants may be added
to taste.
Well, | began early to spade up my
angle worms and other pets, to see If
they had withstood the severe winter.
I found they had. They were un-
usually bright and cheerful. The
potato bugs were a little sluggish at
first, but as the spring opened and
the ground warmed up they pitched
right in and did first rate. Every
one one of my bugs in May looked
splendidly. / was most worried
about my cut worms. Away along
in April | had not seen cut worm,
and l began to ferr they had suffer-
ed, and perhaps perished in the ex-
treme cold of the previous winter.
One morning late in the month,
however, saw cut worm come out
from behind a cabbage stump, and
take off his ear-mufl. He was q lit
tie stiff in the joints, but he had not
lost hope. | saw at once now was
the time to assist him if | had a
spark of humanity left. | searched
every work l could find on agrlcul-
ture to find out what it was that
farmers fed their blamed cut worms,
but all scientists seemed to be silent.
/ read the agricultural reports, the
dictionary, the encyclopaedia, but
they didn't throw any light on the
subject. | got wild. | feared that !
had brought but one worm through
the winter, and was liable to lose
him unless could find out what to
feed him. asked some of my neigh
bors, but they spoke jeeringly and
sarcastically. I know now how 1t
was. All their cut warns had frozen
down last winter, and they couldn't
bear to see ME get ahead.
All at once, an idea struck me. l
haven't recovered from the concus-
sion yet. 1t was this: The worm
had wintered under cabbage stock !;
no doubt he was fond of the bever-
age. | acted upon this thought and
bought him two red cabbage plants,
at fifty cents dozen. l had hit it
the first pop. He was passionately
fond of thosa n1ants and wOuld eat

The GENUINE TAR-HEEL Kiss
Up the perfume-swept avenue Of love
and under the roseate archway of
Hymen they had passed ints the joy
lit realms of a higher and holier exis-
tence where soul meets soul on linz
pid waves Of ecstatic feeling, and
hearts touch hearts through the
blended channel of lips in rapture
linked. They had just been made
man and wife and their souls must
meet and "swap a swap" of labial en-
dearment. And now, how can we
describe that osculatory performance?
1t was nota spasmodic kiss, like a
stopper flying out of champagne
bottle; or a suctionary kiss, like a
COW pulling her foot out of the mire;
neither one Of those long, linger-
ing, languishing kisses, which lovers
give when hid by clustering vines
from the glance Of the moonbsams.
No, none of these, but it was, to be
alliteratlve, q kind Of a slunchwise,
slantindicular, soup-supping, sop
slipping meeting of the lips, which

We have many times called atten-
tion to the advantage of adopting the
English, land indeed the elsewhere uni
versal, practice in the house delivery
of coal, to putt in sacks holding two
OF three hundred pounds, instead of
our custom of incumbering the side
walks and dirtying the houses with
it. Probably 25 cents ton would
be q moderate estimate of the cost of
delivering coal from the sidewalk for
domestic use and certainly one half
this amount would pay for the deliv-
cry, use of sacks, ETC., were sacks en-
ployed, while the comfort to house
holders and to pedestrians would be
beyond calculation. Why does not
some enterprising dealer adopt this
improvement and advertise it t?-En-

eral matinees and sour krout lawn
festivals for his friends, and in week
l bought three dozen more plants.
By this time | had collected large
group of common scrub cut worms,
early Swedish cut worms, dwarf
Hubbard cut worms, and short horn
cut worms, all doing we'll, but still, l
thought, little hide bound and bill
lious. They acted languid aid list
less. AS my squash bugs, currant
worms, potato bugs, etc, were all do
ing we'll without care, [ devoted my
self exclusively to my cut worms.
They were all strong and well, but
they seemed melancholy with moth
ing to eat, day after day, but cab
bages.
therefore bought five dozen toma-
to plants that were tender and large.
Those / fed to the cut worms at the
rate of eight to ten in one night. In
week the cut worms had thrown
that air Of eaneM and languor that l
had formerly noticed, and were gay
and lighthearted. I got them some
more tomato plants, and then some
more cabbage for Il change. On the
whole | was as proud as any young
farmer, who has made q success of
anything.
One morning l noticed that a cab
bage plant was left standing and un-
changed. The next day it was still
there. l was thunderstruck. I dug
into the ground. Ny cut worms
were gone. | spaded up the whole
patch, but there tone. Just as
| had become attached to them, and
they had learned to look forward to

spair and grief. Suddenly something
tumbled over my foot. 1t was most

corner. A nelghbor said it was a
warty toad. He had eaten up my
summers work. He had swallowed
up my cunning little cut worms. l
tell you, gentle reader, unless Il way
is provided, whereby this warty toad
scourge can be wiped out, l for one
shall relinquish the joys Of agricultu-
raj pursuits. When common toad,
with q sallow complexion and no in
tellect, can swallow up my summers
work, it is time to pause.
