Cluelz! eluck! Come. come. my little dears,

The other fowls are peering round

There comes old Granny Dorking now
With Madame Specklemore:

a brood of chicks before. e n 49,.
And here's the rooster Featherlegs
A-peeping down at me-
And nearly twisting off his neck
To see what he can see.
So you must act your prettiest, Fa
And not be bold or rude;
Wouldn't like to have them think
I've Matched a nOLsy brood.
Chuck! cluck! Come now, get of my back.
Stop all your naughty tricks, 4
And creep beneath my wings again
Like ll-bred little chicks ssr
Some day, when you can run about a
You'll find the world is wide, t =
And then you may be very glad Sd
To run to me and hide.
You'll find it's full of foxes, too,
And other ugly things,
And you'll be glad enough to come
And get beneath my wings.
Oh, yes, the world is very wide;
1t stretches far away
Across the lane and on this side
Beyond that stack of hay. :.
And far across tbs duek-pond there,
And past the coru-crib, too;
And when you learn to run quite fast
I'll stroll out there with you.
Chuck! cluck. Come now, get off my back.
Stop all your noisy tricks,
And creep beneath my wings again
Like well-bred little chicks.

/" KYANiZlNG."
The Process by Which Posts Are made
Indestructible.

Indestructible.
In agricultural and other journals
thirty or forty years ago. much was said
of "Kyanizing." process by which
wood is renderedinsusceptible of decay.
How long the process had then been
known, the writer is unaware; in the
United States Patent Office report of
1861, it is stated that Mr.. Ryan, of En-
gland, endeavored 'many years ago"
to have it generally adapted as a means
of preserving ship timber. Originally,
solution of corrosive sublimate was
forced into the wood, but other and less
expensive agents were afterward en-
ployed with equal success. Sulphate of
iron, or copperas, sulphate of copper,
or blue vitriol and chloride of zinc are
some of the chemicals thus used. The
philosophy of the process is, that the
albumen contained in the wood, a SUBJ
stance similar in properties to white of
egg, possibly indentical with it, and
peculiarly liable to decay, is converted
by the chemicals into an insoluble COM
pound very much as the albumen or
gelatine of hide is changed in the pro-
cess of tanning. Thus rendered insolu-
BILE, instead of being, as before, an in
citing cause of rotting of the woody
fibre, it surrounds and protects every
cell and particle with a waterproof in.
destructible coating, and SO prevents
decay. a laFJ7.
On the Slater farm at Greece Center,
is board fence built in 1852, the posts
of which were Kyanized There was at
that time an establishment in Rochester
where the process was carried on, but
by whom, or how long a time, do not
know. Probably business enough was
not done to make it financial success.
Mr.. Gilbert Kishlar, whose father owned
the Slater farm, and built this fence, in
forms me that some of the posts were
elm, too tough, and some were chestnut
too brittle and worm-eaten to split.
They were sawed tapering from six
inches square at one end to two by six
at the other. The chemicals, said to
have been copperas, with an admixture
OF some other ingredients, the latter
possibly OF no great utility, were forced
by machinery, while boiling hot. into
the pores of the wood, until the timber
was perfectly saturated throughout. On
a small scale. perhaps boiling the butt
ends Of the posts in a solution of cop
peras. might answer, several posts
being stood upright in large kettle and
treated at once. The posts Of the fence
in question were set in holes varying
from two and half to three feet deep,
small stone being used to fill in. Coal
tar was put on the ends of the boards
and across the centers where nailed to
the posts. The fence now, is fully
thirty-two years old. but Mr.. Kishlar de-
clares that but for the preparation many
of the posts would have lasted not more
than five Years.-AnaericGn Rural Hons.

gave to Fannie Rhodes this topic

worse than any of the others. I believe,
and over this subject she fairly groaned.
'As if I c0uLdrs she said. But she did.
In justa mouth from the day the sub
jects we given out the essays were to
be read. Fanny was among the first to
be called forward. ought to tell you
that these monthly essays were not
passed in for correction until after, they
were read. They were to be given 70
the school exactly as they came from
the authors hand. So Fannie began:

The River Driver.

Dangerous and laborious, the calling of
the river driver may be, but the excitement,
the swing, the adventure of the life, give it a
charm for tough, steel nerved man. He
may have passed his youth on the bank of
Maine river and many a spring has seen the
lumbermen frolicking among the slippery
logs with pike poles, pushing through the
water in swift batteau and telling smoky
yarns around the embers OF the camp FIRE
His father may have been driver and taught
him to drive caulks into his boot soles and
tread on rolling, treacherOus sticks with az
much ease and confidence as you walk on
street pavement. There are men on the
drives whom you could not hire to do any
thing but work in the woods during the win
ter and on the rivers in the summer.
The river driver is compensated for his
hardships and risks by good wages and four
meals day. His pay has declined with all
other values, but good man on drive now
gets so so day and works seven days in a
week, In flush days,wages were up to %. so

Turn the Rascals Out.

A Washington special to the Boston Herald
says: A Maine delegation, consisting of
George +. Foster, r. w. johnson, S. C. An
drews and S. d. Andrews, were there. The
Maine men are trying to find on. the cause
of the summary revocation of the appoint
ment of Alexander J. Cameron of Augusta
as inspector of customs at Aspinwall. He
was commissioned last week, and when he
went to get his orders this week, was told that
his commission had been revoked. He natural
ly attributes it to special despatch to the New
York Tribune, which stated that he had been
in penirentary and had her unpleasant
facts in his record. Mr.. Cameron was an ap-
plicant for position in the bindery at the
government printing Office, which he could
not obtain. He was backed up by E. F.
Pillsbury, and now he fears that Pillsbury's
influence was not very good for him. The
Cox delegation took up a good deal of the
Presidents time, although he disposed of
them as summarily as he could.

ing deck to realize how large she is. Few
engines could play from her stern to her bow
Few boys could throw a ball from her

ever built on this continent with the excep-
ton of the Great Republic, which was of
greater tonnage, but very little larger.
Carlton, Norwood & Co. are the builders.
She will cost about $4,000.

was lead along the street 10 !.
position in front of the cou,,
room where he was inspected nv
Judge Andrews, and Mr.. Reed who i.
cruelty agent, stated that large number Of
complaints had been made to him in regard
to the horse. its lameness and the bad
usage it had received. Mr.. Miller laid
down his case in an emphatic manner.
and said he had fed his horse over 70
bushels of grain, at the rate of nine quarts
day; that the beast could eat hav Al
well as colt. He was ready to bet that the
horse could take the judge over the road a.
fast as he wanted to 60, and the animal would
not require clicking" He attributed the lame
ness to the fact that the horse had stepped on
rolling stone and wrenched his spawn. The
Judge fined the man IS, but he talked 40

out paying the fine.
