prosperity and continual sunshine.
The ceremony was very impressive
and beautiful. after which the company

table presented most beautiful ap-
pearance, while 1t contained many good
things: meats of many different kinds,
pickles, jellies, coffee, tea, fruits, can
dies, nuts, and the incest and greatest
variety of cakes, wines, and etc., the

There were about seventy persons
present, and when all had eaten until
'more would have been superfluity''
the side boards were still heavily load.

OUR COAL BEDS.

neighborhood, and hole bored 2O6 feet
into the ground. At that depth we
bored through vein of excellent coal

a record of all the rock passed through
and the thickness of strata. In res
ponse to an inquiry Prof. Swallow
wrote me that the thickest and best
coal would probably be found near the
base of the coal measure. Our money
gave out and we abandoned the work !;
but I thought then, and l think now,
that it is highly probable that the best
coal veins in Lafayette county have
never yet been found. The vein we
then found had never been known be-
fore, and geologically speaking, there
may not exist within few hundred
feet of the surface.
If the vein we then found was local
deposit, it goes to show that Davis
creek valley was, in carboniferous
times a very large and deep valley
and there may be thick veins OF Goa
there. Biologists tell US the disturb
ance has not been great in the Missis.

maintains Its horizontal position. II

county if only the vallies of Davis ant

and other animals are said to have been
bitten. The best plan is to shoot every
dog at once suspicioned. Experiments
have shown that animals may &c
months before there are any signs OF
hydrophobia. The colored population,
the lovers of the toothsome Opossum,
have more dogs than children, horses
and cattle counted together. Since the
repeal of the ''dog law" the canine
production has been on the increase,
and but few farmers pretend TO keep
sheep anymore.
AS an evidence of small farms paying
better when well cultivated, than larg-
er ones partially cultivated, we give an
item of the productiveness Of the soil
here when properly fertilized and cul-
tivated. From one acre of land Jas.
G. Hendricks harvested 137 bushels OF
good corn. This is verified by several
reliable citizens This will beat any
putting found in the papers pertaining
to the productiveness of other states.
Those wishing to buy such land will
find hundreds of acres equally as good
in many parts OF Lafayette county, but
it requires work, fertilizing, and
good judgment to make a good yield
like this in any state. Twenty-Five
acres we'll cultivated is enough corr
land for any one man. At an average
price, thirty cents bushel, this would
give 81 ,027 50; and man with hired
man. fifty acres, and the round sum o.
S2,055. This is, no doubt, the way fol
farmers to make the most money, rails

The Farm in Winter.
BY NATHAN D. URNER.

When winters hand. with blanket white,
The form of the chilled earth hides,
There are quiet joys by the hearthstone
bright
That are dearer than all besides;
When. cuddled warm in the ingle-nooks,
The indoor life at the farm,
With games. or gossip, or stOry-books,
Imparts delightful charm.
The farmer and farmwife then with pride
Their household band review,
With lover, perchance, of some maid soft
eyed,
And treasured guest or two;
While grandfather coZily ewes the clock
AS he puffs at his pipe aglow.
And grandmother. rounding her latest sock,
Is intent on each added row.
This for picture of evening cheer;
Aud the morning is likewise sweet,
When the air is crisp, and the BARNARD neal
Is noisy with trampHng feet;
When the farm-bov's knuckles are at his lin,
As he answers the farmers hall,
And the milkmaid in from the cow-house
trips
With frothing and steaming pail.
Then up from the chimney the smoke.rings q
As the new morn kisses the earth,
And the frosted panes of the kitchen glow
With the cherry blaze of the hearth.
Ay, even In wastes of trackless snow,
And bv ruthless ice-chalns bound.
The farm in winter some Joys can know
That are elsewhere seldom found.

Let the House be Bright and
Cheerful.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

Though the world outside be drearY,
Ifthe house be bright and CHEEKY.
With sunshine streaming into every corner OF
the room.
The heart will revel In it,
And be happy every minute,
Nor give thought to any sort Of wretched-
ness or gloom.
When misery pursues US,
Determined not to lose us,
And tribulations gather in an Overwhelming
tide,
What joy for any mortal
To enter homes fair portal.
And find sweet peace, and best release from
storms that beat outside!
Oh, is it any wonder
That so many souls go under
In the conflict that is raging-with the bur.
dens they must bear
When home is uninviting.
And there is M sweet requiting
For laborS done. or victories won, or any sun
shine there?
When the world outside ia dreary,
If the house be bright and CHEEKY
All evil thoughts are soon dispelled, torment.
ing worries cease;
And the sonl that may have drifted
Into gloomy wavs.- is lifted
To SUMMER height. and takes delight in fire.

They Didn't Think
BY PHOEBE CARY.

Once trap was baited
With piece of cheese;
1t tickled so little mouse
ItalmOst made him sneeZe.
An old rat said. There's danger
Be careful where you gOw
"NonsenSe!" !" said the other.
81 don't think you knOww
So he walked in boldly;
Nobody in sight.
First he took nibble,
Then he took bite.
Close the trap together
Snapped as quick as wink,
Catching mOuSey fast there,
Cause he didn't think.
Once little turkey,
Fond of her own way,
Wouldn't ask the old ones
Where to 90 or stav.
She said: "I'm not baby;
Here am half grown;
Surely l am big enough
To run around alOne.''
on she went; but somebody,
Hiding. saw her pass;
Soon, like snow, her feathersI
Covered all the grass;
So she made supper
For sly Young mink.
Cause she was so headstrong
That she wouldn t think.
Once there was robin
Lived outside the door,
Who wanted to go inside
And hop upon the floor.
"No, no." said the mother,
You must stay with me:
Little birds are safest
Sitting in tree"
81 don't carev said robin.
And gave his tail fling;
81 don't think the Old folks
know quite everythin.r'
Down he flew, and kitty seized him
Before he'd time to think:
"Oh!" he cried. .sfm sorry
But l didn't Think,
Now, my little children,
You who read this song,
Don't you see what trouble
Comes from thinking wrong?
Can't you take warning
From their dreadful fate,
Who began their thinking
When it was too late:
Don't think there's ALWAYS safety.
Don't suppose you know more
Than anybody knows
Who has gone before.
But, when you're warned of ruin,a
Pause upon the brink,
And don't go under headlopg
Cause YOU didn't think
