AN OLD STORY.

When the spring was beginning, and May-day
On a country girl spinning, the king cast his
eye;
Fair flourish the roses anear the court wall, Il
But the rose of the hedges is fairest of all.
"Let me hide my FOOLS face, meath a lying
tombstone,
For the worlds gone Annoying, l NOPE here
alone,'
Said the jester, who sat on the steps of the
throne.
But the blossoms will fade which the thought
less have torn,
And the cheeks of a maid will grow withered and
Why should there for such a small matter be
woe,
Since each hedge and each village such roses will
show?
"Kingl go to your wine; pretty maiden! go
moan;
When its meat hath been mumbled we leave the
picked bone,"
Said the lester, who sat on the steps of the
throne.
Yet peasant is grinding knife, sharp and
strong,
And silently winding his way through the
throng-
Then the dogs must be driven from. licking the
gore
OF a monarch struck down at his own palace
door.
Though her name be gibe. and her affairs

In the end, Gossip Justice win seize on her

Buying a Family.
ocean Grove. N. J.. Special.

Ellis Thompson, a wealthy farmer
living about a milefrom here, has pur-
chased q wife and two children and is
now living with them in g. new home
handsomely furnisEe Kate Carson,
g. Red Bank girl, was five years ago
sought after by Thompson, then 40
years old, and a. young man. named
Hiram Satterlee. Satterlee won the
girl and married her. They lived, I'M
til week ago, in 8 little house along
the railroad near Dell Lake. Satter-
lee was employed on the New York &
Long Branch Road, but intemperance
has ruined him and he has given but
scanty support to his family. Lately
Thompson saw how poor the family
was and how the woman he loved was
being ill-used by her husband. His
sympathies went out to the injured
wife and he longed to take her to the
home he was building on mis- farm and
which was go rapidly nearing compile
ton. How to overcome the insur-
mountable difficulties which seemed to
present themselves was the one ques-
ton in his mind.
At length he had happy inspira-
ton. He would buy her. When he
preached the subject to Mrs. Satter-
lee she received the proposition with
fewer scruples than he had expected.
She appreciated his solicitude, and if
she could not return his affection her
gratitude would go long way toward
it. The question now arose as to
whether the husband would make g.
reasonable bargain. Mr.. Thompson
went to the house and preached the
subject.
Satterlee thought at first it was a
joke, but when he saw Thompson was
in earnest he became serious and
finally offered to sell his wife and chill
dren for $500. Mr.. Thompson put
down the cash at once That night
Satterlee left for New York and the
woman and children are now living
with Thompson in comfort and hap
Diness.

Valuables Found in the Mire.
From the BROOKLYN Eagle. l

From the Brooklyn Eagle
"You would be surprised" said q
well-known offal contractor to an
Eagle reporter recently, cat the large
number of valuables found in the city's
dumping grounds. Although the men
in charge of the dumps deny that any
thing of value is ever found, I can
vouch that they don't always tell the
truth. Miscellaneous articles, such as
silver teaspoons, knives and forks,
shoes and clothing, in good and bad
condition, are picked up daily, but it
frequently happens that gold watches
and diamonds are among the valua-
bles found. Dead babies few years
ago were not an uncommon occurrence.
In the government grounds ten
cents is charged for each load
dumped. Articles of an unusual
character are only found in
the ashes and swill refuse. Ladies
washing dishes will drop rings in the
swill, and by the time they have missed
them the swill will be on it's way either
to the dumping grounds or the pig
geries. Diamonds, from earrings and
rings, are lost in the same manner.
In London the contract for examining
ashes and swill is awarded to the high
est bidder. The method employed by
the contractor to ascertain whether
any articles of value are contained in
the rubbish is a novel one. The carts
are dumped on a screen, which, after
having become filled, is elevated into
the air. A dozen men dressed in rub
Der suits, without pockets, are set
to work on the screen. These men 60
over the ashes and offal carefully, and
in case anything valuableis found it is
turned over at once to the contractor
Or his superintendent. AS the work
men wear pocketless clothing they can
secure nothing about their persons.
After the ashes have been thoroughly
screened they are covered and new
lot examined. Someyears ago Lon
don contractor who had charge of the
work published list of articles found
in the dumping grounds. The list in
cluded every article imaginable and
filled a pamphlet of twenty pages"

Sheep in Texas.

We met an old time Texas stockman
recently and asked him to tell US
frankly how his stock was getting on.
His reply was given in his own words:
"Just bully and, would you believe
it? l am making that sheep invest
ment pay. You know l took 1,4OO
ewes on what considered q bad debt.
Hooked on the flock as most next to
nothing. But having them on hand,
couldn't let them suffer for food or
water or shelter. put them in charge
of a good shepherd, secured q good
range for them, saw that they were
protected from rain and cold, and /
have been well repaid for my trouble
and outlay. I am still g. cowman, but
/ have proved that money invested In
sheep will pay big if the sheep are well
cared for after they are bought" We
venture to say this is the common ex-
perience of all who do as our friend
mentioned has done--Hoof and
Horn.

The Farmers plow In india.

The farmer OF India uses q pillow
made of a piece OF iron afoot in length,
an inch wide and half an inch thick,
which is sharpened at the lower end
and fixed in q Triangular piece of wood
attached to the yoke on the necks of
the bullocks by arope of MANILA grass.
The pillow tears up the ground like a
harrow, and by hard work can be
made to go over nearly an acre OF
ground in a day. The operation of
blowing is repeated five or six times
before each sowing, or about ten times
a year, as two crops are raised. After
the last blowing the sower follows aft
er the machine and carefully drops the
seed into the furrow.-BOston Budget.

From the Detroit Free Press.
"Durlng the war;" said an ex-Confed-
crate soldier, as we hoisted up our
feet and leaned back for talk,
Huntsville, Ala, was looted two or
three times by the Federals. Ienlisted
from that place, and my wife kept me
posted as to what went on. I got
back there about q month after the
surrender, having tramped q good
share of the way onfoot. My wife had
two old calico dresses and pair of
ragged shoes, and / had tattered old
uniform and was barefoot. Wehadn't
as much as O. shilling between us to be-
gin lite on. After q few days an old
friend offered to let me occupy an old
house on plantation five Or six miles
from town; another loaned me a mule;
a third bought me some seed, and in
one way and another | picked up an
outfit and went to scratching the soil
of Alabama for grub.
"I had been at it week or two and
was clean discouraged, for I wasn't
overly well, when one day rested the
mule under the shade of big tree in the
center of my corn lot. He stood there
stamping off the flies, when one of his
legs went down into what seemed g.
hole, and he made a great fuss about
pulling it out. I made careless in
spection, but on running my hand
down the hole felt what knew was
the side of a jar or jug. went for a.
shovel and threw out the dirt, and it
wasn't many minutes before I lifted
out four-galon jar with an iron
cover. In that jar I found $3.50 in
greenbacks, $175. in gold and silver,
and silverware and jewelry which sold
for 5000. On themorning of the third
day after my luck, | stood at the door
and saw two men drive up to a point
in the road opposite the tree. They
hitched hehorses, shouldered aspade,
and made for the spot where [ had
lifted out the jar. When they reached
it they seemed paralyzed. I walked
down to them and pleasantly Observed
'Mr. Yankees you are just two days too
late. Much obliged for your contri-
button to a poor old Confed.' They
had no reply. They gave me one
awful look of disgust and walked off
without word"

Killing Squash Bugs.

plication at every shower, or two or
three times during the infancy of the
plants. Last year l was absent from
home several days on official bust
ness. On my return went to look at
my squashes and melons and found
them literally swarming with striped
bugs. Another day and every plant
would have been destroyed. hur-

Modern experience tends to favor
the shallow and superficial culture of
corn, rather than deeper blowing.
After the corn has been planted, a
pillow should not be used in the corn
field, but the cultivator only. The
surface alone needs to be stirred,
and the oftener it is mellow and
loosened, the better for the crop. The
writer has grown several crops of over
one hundred bushels of grain to the
acre, and in every case in which
this unusual product was reached,
it was when the ground was
worked with the horse hoe every week
until the corn was in tassel. When,
unavoidably this frequent cultivation
was missed, the yield fell sometimes
as low as seventy or eighty bushels
per acre, showing all other treatment
being the same-that the frequent
working of the soil has most useful
result on the crop.-American Agri-
culturist.

se,e citing Calves for the Dairy.

If our farmers would adopt the plan
in use among the best dairymen OF the
Eastern staUes, and select calves for
the dairy from among the best mixers
and carefully selecting from among
their progeny each year those having
the best milking points, our stock Of
good mixers would be largely in
creased. It is not the pretty native
calves we should select, but those born
of good mothers. The native bulls are
usually chosen because of their color
or some notion. Therule of the breed
er of thoroughbreds that "the sire is
half of the herd" is seldom thought of
by the owner of the common stock.
The bull should be selected from the
best COWS, and be "cow-ike," not all
neck and horns; such q bull is good to
get fighters and this is what the heavy
neck and horns are for. The cow-like
bull, with slim neck and light head
and horns, willhave thin skin, soft and
mellow, and a. good development of
milk veins, teats and other cow marks.
He will be docile and his get will be
more likely to make gentle cows. The
principle that ''like begets like" has
built up many noble breeds. Select
and save for use only the calves from
the best mixers, and thus increase the
profits.
