To Measure Hay.

The following rules for measuring
hay are worth preserving:
The only correct way to measure
hay is to weigh it. It has been es.
timated, however, that 26 cubic yards
Of average meadow hay in the win
now makes ton. When loaded ON a
wagon, or stored in barns, 30 cubic
yards make ton and when we'll set
tied in mows or stacks Is cubic yards
to ton.
To find the number Of tons in long
or square stack we multiply the length
and bredth in yards together and this
product by one-halt the heigh In
yards and divide the product by Is.
To find the number of tons in a Cir
cular stack we multiply the square OF
the circumference in yards by times
the altitude in yards and divide the re
suit by 100. The qHotient will be the
number of cubic yards; divide this by
Is and the resalt will be the number
of tons.
To ascertain the value of any num-
Der of pounds when the price per ton
is given we multiply the number of
pounds by one half of the price per
ton and point off three figures in the
result on the right hand and the re-
naming figures will be the price OF
the number of pounds gwen.

AN HEROIC STRANGER.

CHARLES J. BEATTIE IN INTER OCEAN.
tbs the bright month of June, it's a sweet sunny
day,
There are voices of mirth, there are children at
In the highway, the field, by the hedgerow, and
stack,
On the raiIway-Oh, Godl there's a child on the
track.
A train rounds the curve in onward career
The frightened spectators are palSied with fear
Rushing madly ahead, like avalanche pressd
BY whirwind of death comes the Mail from the
west.
Hear the roar, see the smoke-Harkl mothers
wild scream,
''My childr' Oh my ohlldr' Is she madG does she
Her white face all terror, her eyes all despair,
Are turned tward the track, for her darling is
there,
There CULVER of wrath in the air. in the skies
wild rumble of death in the rails, in the ties;
No hope, no escape-No, not time for prayer!
And disa Ster unconSciously floats in the air.
Hark shout, then bound-there's man on
the rail-
A spirit no danger or terror can quail
He springs, like giant aroused in his ire,
In front of that seething volcano of fire.
While in front of the monster the rescuer strobe,
AND swift as the GINNING ne ll1Ced Cne boy,
Mid shrieks of delight and quick breathings of
joy.
''Saved Savedl'' and he landed the child like a
flash
OFF the track on the grass; then thud and a
crash;
Saved Saved is the child, at terrible cost,
To it's mother restored and the rescuer lost.
''Ring the bell Stop the train Don't you hear!
Can't you feel!
That some one is hurt, some under the
wheel?'
Then murmur of voices in agony wild
Told of death to the stranger who rescued the
child.
Raise him up, bear him hence, though his spirit
has fled,
Lay his relics TO rest, for hero is dead.
And whenever he sleeps meath the sod er the
stone,
In the grave of a martyr rests Clarence McKeown
The train has sped on the dread agony's DER,
A life has gone out, grand hero'S no more,
Then honored forever the life that he gave
A child from the direst Of dangers to save.
Yeti all that is known Of that stranger so brave,
He came from the Emeral Isle DER the wave,
A land that gives heroes as God gives the light,
To bless every land but their own land of night.

The Aurora BOrealis.
Literary World

What is the aurora borealis2 many
men have asked and asked il vain.
Scientific personages have been much
interested in the matter. 1t was as
participation in the work of the inter-
national polar research expedition
that Herr Tromholt visited the most
distant regions of the European con-
tlnent His task was to take observa-
tons of the remarks Die phenomenon
known as the aurora borealis, or
aorthern lights, and principally in
conjunction with the Norwegian sta
ton at Bessekop, in Finmarken, and
the Finnish one at Sodankyla, in the
very heart of the wilds of Finland, to
effect the measurements for determin-
ing the hight of the Phenomenon above
the earth's crust. Science, he owns,
is still at fault: but, In answer to
popular hypothesis, it can declare
that the aurora borealis is not SUM-
shine reflected from the ice field of the
arctic regions. nor the reflection of
sunshine on the surface of the sea, nor
the reflection of sunrays in ice crys-
tails suspended in the upper strata of
the air. Further, science tells us that
the aurora borealis is of electrical ma
ture, and closely related to the mag
netic forces of the earth. While our
author was at his post every night the
aurora borealis appeared; at any rate,
there was not a single clear evening
when it was absent. Sometimes it
filled the whole sky; often its displays
were confined to insignificant and
faint phenomenon, low ia the north,
Just like those observed in Southern
Scandinavia; but sometimes they OBJ
tanned magaifcance which defed
description. He came to the conclu-
sion that the great many different
forms might certainly De reduced to a
few simple ones. In most instances
the aurora forms belts, or zones, which
stretch across the earth IN the direc>
of the yoaguetic east-west, which zones
are formed by q conglomerator. of
thin sheets of lun;sous matter, rang
ed one behind the other, their direc-
ton being parallel with the inclina-
tlen needle. The luminous matter in
these sheets is even, or diffuse, or di-
vided into stresmers. The red color
in the lower edges of arcs and bands
often undergoes remarkable changes
and becomes crimson, or purple, Or
pink, Or red-ocher, or violet. The
light, however, is weaker than was to
be expected.

and also their services, provided they
could be placed in positions of author
jty or profit. In 1862, after the Indian
outbreak Ia Minnesota and Dakota.
an Indian agent came on to Washing
ton to volunteer his services to put II
down. He called on John Covode. of
Pennsylvania, and Senator Wade. of
Ohio, and the writer of this, and dis
closed his plan. It was for the Presi-
dent to authorize this agent to raise a
brigade OF cavalry, to be composed of
frontlersmen, to be commanded by
this agent as Brigadier General.
The Indian campaigner wanted a
separate and independent command,
of which he was to have supreme con-
troll, not only conducting operations
in the field, but also ia the purchase
of horses and supplies for the brigade.

parties above uamed to Mr.. Lincoln,

as he proposed he could put down the
outbreak and restore quiet on the

posed TO enlist la this service were
alone competent to perform this i'm
portart duty. And that his own ac>
quaintance with Indian character and
habits would enable him to do more
prompt ard successful work in this
particular field than any one that
could be sent there Mr.. Lincoln
listened patiently up to this time,
but he could stand it no longer.
"Sir," said he, ''since the war began
| have received great deal of advice
from all classes of men, and in the
army great promises have been made,
and my experience and observation
has been that those who promise the
most do the least" Thus ended the
interview. Mr.. Lincoln was keen
and accurate judge of character, and
could detect fraud and imposition as
readily as any man [ ever knew. He
saw through this fellow at once, and
that his object was to make money
out of this scheme. It was fortunate
for the country that such man was

Capt. Geo. III. Mathews of the tug Salem,
while towing the schooner Thos. N. Stone to
the Kennebec river yesterday, received a cut
in his right wrist which will trouble him for
some time. He was cleaning the inside OF
lantern globe when it broke in halves, the
ragged edge OF one of the pieces entering his
wrist and cutting cash nearly three inches
long. Luckily the cords were not severed, but
an artery was cut and the wound bled profuse-
ly. The engineer of the tug tore his panta-
looms into strips with which he improvised
tourniquet and stanched the flow of blood. On
the return to the city the captains wound was
properly dressed.
