During last summer our citizens
were greatly annoyed by sheep, hogs

From what we have learned on
the subject Of tobacco growing
(Which, however, we admit is limit
ed) we feel disposed to hint that the
time for preparing seed is very close
at hand. OF course it is understood
that seed, when bedded for growth,
is dampened This moisture must
be kept up without fail. To let 1t
dry out would result in its losing all
vitality. Then the beds should be
protected 10y having them covered

And said, She is dead; l could not brook,
Again on that marvellous face to look"
But they took my hand and they led me in,
Aud LEFT me alone with my nearest kin.
Once again alone in that silent place,
My beautiful dead and face to face,
And | could not speak and could not stir,
But stood and with love looked on her.
With love and with rapture, and strange
surprise
| looked on the tips and the close shut eyes;
On the perfect rest and the calm content,
And the happiness there in her features blent
And the thin white hands that had wrought
SO much,
Now nerveless to kisses or fevered touch.
The pain and the sorrow, that we call Life.
Who had never faltered beneath her cross,
Nor murmured when loss followed swift on
loss;
And the smile that sweetned her lips away
Lay light on her blessed mouth that day.
smoothed from her hair q silver thread,
And l went but could not think her dead.
| felt with awonder too deep for speech,
She could tell what only the angels teach.
And over her mouth leaned my eur,
Least there might be something 1 should not
hear.
Then out from the silence between us stole
y message that reached to my inmost soul:
"Why weep you to-day who have wept be-
That the road WAS rough must journey DER?
Why mourn that my lips can answer not
When anguish and sorrow are both forgot?
Behold all my life l have lonSed for rest
Yea, cen when held you on my breast,
And now that lie in II breathleas sleep,
Instead OF rejoicing. yop sigh amI weep.
My dearesF knn,y that You would not
Ify you could, my slumher. and have me
For, though life was full of things that bless,
| have never till now known happiness"
Then dried my tears and with lifted head
l left my mother, the beautiful dead.

Rise Of the Swedish Coast.

An examination Of series Of water
marks set in 1850 all round the SWed-
ish costs, from the mouth of the Tor
nea to the Maze in order'to settle dis
pute between the Swedish astronomer
Celsius and some Germans, as to
whether the level OF the Baltic had
been rising or sinking, shows that
both parties were right. The gauges
were renewed in 1851, and again this
year and have been inspected regular
ly at short intervals, the observations
being carefully recorded. 1t appears
says Nature that the Swedish cost has
been steadily rising, while Oh the
southern fringe OF the Baltic has been
as steadily falling. The dividing line
along which no change is parceptible,
passes from Sweden to the Schleswig-
Holster coast over Bornholm and La
land. The results have lately been
published by the Swedish Academy of
Sciences and it appears from them
that while during tnlf period of l34
years the northern part Of Sweden has
risen about feet, the rate of elevation
gradually declines as we 60 south
ward, being only about one foot at the
Maze and nothing at Bornholm, which
remains at the same level SIS in the
middle Of the last century. The gen
erar average result would be that the
Swedish cost had risen about IS inches
during che last 1874 pears.

A circular l!aielly rrseently received
contains the following significant
language:
The amount OF property burned
during the last ten years has been, ac-
cording to information received from
the best sources, each year as follows:

stroyed has been absolutely snnihila.
ted-tueaed INTO worthless ashes-the
country is so much poorer, and taxa
ton upon what..remains has been made
thereby needless burden. This great
and growing waste no country can
long endure, and should receive inn
mediate attention and check:
One great cause of this ever increas-
ing waste is to be traced to careless
ness, but not only criminal careless
ness, but carelessness on the part of
the honest property holder, and to
this source alone is estimated fully
one-half of the fires are to tie attribu-
ted. An apt illustration of this is the
fact that during the first few months
following the great confiagrations of
Chicago and Boston, in 1871 and 1872,
when there was great uncertainty in
the public mind as to the soundness
of Insurance Companies leading;to UNI
sual care of property of all kinds, the
losses were very small-merely NOM
inal. 1t is with u view to avoid the
necessity Of II general increase of rates
of prcnlium--otherwise inevitable
that we appeal for the active co-opera-
tion of all classesof people in measures
to materially lessen THIS awful des-
truction Of property. The Insurance

Facts Relating to the Draft Horses Of
France

While some people in America call
all horses imported from France Nor
mans, it is fact that there is no breed
in France called by that nsme by the
French people, the name Norman,
therefore is purely American. The
principal breeds of France are known
as Percherons and Boullanuis. The
Percherons are the most highly
priced of all French races and all de.
partments of France so to the Rerche
for sta ions to improve their local
breeds. The P.ercheron Stud Book of
France is published under the au-
thority of the French Government
and admits only animals Of pure
Fercheron origin and birth established
by their pedigrees and the pedigrees
of their ancestors for generations. The
fact that recorded pedisrees can not
be furnished with any of the more
common breeds of France explains
the eagerness OF many importers in
insisting tnat' all Horses imported
from France are alike, and that ped
igrees are useless.
1t IL we'll known fact that what
man gives for horse over from $500
to sS00-the price OF u good grade-is
paid for purity of blood and where
the seller is not able to give the re-
corded pedigres oI We ANIMAL sold as
EVIDENCE Of additional value: he has
no right to ask it, With these facts
before him, no Intelligent man will
buy horse imported from France I'M
less he is recorded with his pedigree
in full in the stud book in France,
and the importer furnishes with his
bill of sale the french ceEtiAcat of
registration, DIS this is his only guar
antee Of safety, a large number Of
horses of unknown blood being i'm
ported to this country and sold as
pure bred.
