TOBACCO TALK.

The indications are that the acre
ave of tobacco in Wisconsin will be
very largely increased during the
coming season. The Wisconsin
Tobacco Reporter says that in some
counties farmer meetings are being
held and the project of going into
tobacco culture discussed. 1t Is es-
timatcd that the Wisconsin tobac-
co crop of 1881, when all dis
posed of will bring over S3,5OO,OOo
This is an immense sum to be real
lied from this industry, when we
consider the fact that ii has not been
engaged in to any great extent, out
side of the counties of Dane, Rock
and Green. But the tobacco craze
has struck Richland, Grant and
Iowa counties. aud many who have
heretofore been very sceptical as to
its profitableness will try their luck
at tobacco raising, If the season
should prove favorable one and
no great falling off in prices occur
we think it would be safe to estl
mate the Wisconsin crop of 1855
at from S5,OO0,o00 to 100000
But the advice of old, experienced
tobacco growers is: so slow; begin OF
4 small scale; select your seed will
great care; put in one or two acre
the first season; learn how to cult
yate, take care of and prepare tn
tobacco for market, before going ex
t,nsively into the bushes OF raising
it. Elsewhere we print some &c
bacco Notes." which will be foun'
interesting and profitable reading t.
all who intend to engage IN tn
tobacco culture.

1t is said that employees about the
national capital are astonished that
the new administration should re-
quirc them to set to work at eight
O'Clock in the morning instead of
nine as heretofore. Ordinary bust
ness men or workingmen will fail to
see any great hardship in the new
order Of things. The government
employees had better wait until they
are required to get up and do the
chores and milk the cows before
breakfast before they commence to
complain about hard work.

THE DEMOCRACY
POETRY AND SERIAL STORY.
DO YOU REMEMBERq

De You remember that day my dear
tohi shall remember until tiiel.
That wonderful day of vanished year,
When under the green OF a leafy Sky,
With Nature singing her sweetest tune,
We sat through the long, glad afternoon?
Oh! fair was the worl' on that perfect day,
With song and color aud shade and shine;
With growing grain and with meadows gay,
With odorS subtle and fresh and fine:
With the SOFT low music of mated birds.
With the calm content of the grazing herds
Never 4 word did we say of love
As We sat IN the happy shadows there:
But we heard its voice in the boughs above,
We felt its breath on the pulS!ng air;
In the silence >weeter far than speech,
Our heart~GeatS answered each 70 each.
Still is your hand like the lily leaf,
With the Sea-Shcll's tint at the finger tips:
Your hair has the gold of the gathered Sheaf,
Still hike a rose are your dewy lips;
And know in my soul that to-day YOU are
Sweeter and dearur than then by far.
Yet remember my love. SO we'll.
y subtle something about YOU them
Beyond the power of my words 10 tell.
That never has seemed To come back again
And would give mere than dare TO say
For the look your dear face wore that day.
Was it, my dear, a flush of the check,
4 CULVER of lash or Il tiroop of lid?
A tremble OF lips that dared not speak
The truth that deep in the heart was hid?
Nay, the look that over your features stole
Was the strange sweet sign of a waking soul
May comes never but once year:
This is the summer, and wei we know
Fulfillment is better than promise, dear;
Better il Is that the oak should grow,
Though the acorn die; the rnSe-hud's doom
We quite forget in the rose bloom.
Richly the sun of your summer beams
Though May comes not To YOUR life again;
And. dar! NJ, the something that hauntS my
dreams.
i know with 81 Joy that is half pain
That wonderful waking May-tim grace
Her lover has found in our daughters face.

WOMAN'S VANITY.

Some Stories of Ladies Who Wished Their
Portraits to he Handsome.
There is story about Oliver Crom-
well which relates to certain artist, in
painting portrait of the great English
man, left out the wart which was prom
inent feature of his nose.
Paint me as am; put the wart in,
said the Lord Protector, as he looked ut
the picture.
There are few men who are so honest
with themselves that they do not wish
to be thought by others to be better, or
better-looking than they are. Certain

woman ever uttered similar remoE-
STRANGE.
1t was singular fact that all Of the
portraits of women painted by the poet
T. Buchanan Reed represented them as
beautiful.
why, Reed, said friend, lyon
seem only to have had beautiful women
to paint. Did you never have homely
sitter?n
mo, sir. replied Reed. You put
any woman IN good IlgHts leL nsI as
sumo graceful position, and then call
out her best expression. and she is beau
tiful''
The poet-artist's theory helped him to
make money, for he found many women
like the one whom Constable, an En-
glish artist, met in one of his sketching
excursions.
Attracted by the picturesqueness Of a
landscape with cottage in the fore
ground, he began opening his painting
box and setting his colors, that he
might make sketch of it. The good
woman OF the cottage saw him, and
thinking he was peddler, came up and
said:
Its no use, my good man; we don't
want anything.
Il am painter and not peddler,"
answered Constable, going on with his
preparations, land If you win stand In
Your cottage-door, win put you into

the woman, blushing- Then she added.

Republican po5tmaster5 are feeling
easier. Dr.. Sangrado Bolus, Of
Washington, has written out and
sent to Postmaster-General Villas a
scientific opinion to the effect shat
the removal Of any considerable
number of postmasters at this time
will produced serious results. There
are nearly 10000 republican post
masters in the country at this writ
ing. Many of them have been in
office for years. They have acquired
a taste for the gum on the back of
postage stamps, similar to that
which the morphine-eater has for
his narcotic drug. The licking of
stamps and the tasting of this gum
daily has become q confirmed habit
with 90 per cent. of these officials.
To stop them suddenly, the doctor
thinks, would be to invite nervous
prostration and in many instances
fits. 1t would be like cutting the
drunkard off from alcohol suddenly
or depriving the opium-eatcr of his
drug.
