OF all the airs which deserve to be
termed national that of the French
"Marseillaise' is without doubt. the
most lively aud exciting. The sound
of it." says Carlyle, will make the
blood Jingle in mems veins. and whole
armies and assemblages will sing it
with eyes weeping and burning. with
hearts defiant of death, despot, and
devil" Even IN times of peace and
quietness it is impossible to listen to
its animating strains without expert
encing a certain thrill. and lis effects
OH an impetuous people in the trouble
some times of the past may be readily
imagined. Such was its power upon
the French that it was at one time for
hidden to be played or sung. and the
prohibition extended until 1873. when
the Minister of War issued circular
authorizing bands to play the tune At
reviews and official ceremonies.

AN INVITATION.

When in the house the day is warm,
And dogs lie stretched before the door,
Come out to my neglected farm,
And sit upon the grassy floor.
Under the apple-trees' green roof,
Laced with the yellow light OF morn,
Share natures joy without reproof,
Thou man who art to trouble bornl
Alas tits said for price of gold
The axe shall hew these leafy towers:
The spade shalt trample in the mould
This fragrant grass, these dewy flowers
And when this pleasure house is waste,
A mansion built for earthly care,
For waiting days, and tiresome haste,
Shall lift stately front in air.
Then come, before the day declines,
And hear the bees among the boughs;
See where the early moon entwines
Her crescent in my bloomy house.
Perhaps before the spade shall wound
This turf, to plant the cares of earth,
A smaller plot of turf be foun
More green, to tell our nobisr biF n.
Then hasten ere the day shall die,
And lay thy heart To summers bliss,
And learn, whatever joys may fly,
To know the permanence of this.

PAN AND SYRINX.

There was a sweet vale in Already.
Wherein grew many a flower sweet to
smell,
And many pleasant shadow of a tree
Darkened the slant side of the cup-like
dell;
And day and night did birds make melody,
And clear streamlet slips Through fern
and brake,
Singing until it ceased within a lake.
And often when the drOwsy summer hea',
Had wrought longing for some little
rest,
Here from the chase did Artemis retreat,
With bow unloosened and bare snowy
breast.
And maidens following with buskined feet
TrOOped through the fern that bathed
them 70 the knee,
While the red staghounds leapt beside in
glee.

was 5.774.665 bales equal to 2.742, $780,

He cuts the clover in the afternoon, usually

A Marion County, Iowa, man claims that hog
cholera is nothing more than dyspepsia in swine,
caused by too heavy and constant draughts Of
water. Heavy and constant draughts Of stag

mere dyspepsia. Dyspepsia does not kill as
quickly as hog cholera.

Three or four applications, it is said will never

cABBAGE WORM.

Virginia correspondent Of the AnericdR
Garden has come 10 the conclusion that the true
method for disposing Of the green worm so de-
structiye 10 the CABBAGE crop in all sections Of
the country is 70 catch the parent butterflies
while they are flying over the fields seeking
places to deposit their eggs. The butterflies
are not very rapid in their flight, and may be
easily caught In nets in the hands OF active
faithful boys and girls We. came 70 the same
conclusion last summer after watching and
studying the habits Of this European visitor to
our shores. The butterfly deposits her eggs
singly upon the leaves OF the cabbage, but
may place half dozen or more upon one plant
Ia the course of few days. After the worms
hatch they are too nearly the color of the
leaves to be easily seen, and after few days
they hide themselves among the leaves beyond
the reach Of any application that might Kill
them If touched by it.
II the effort were made general throughout
u district, we have little doubt that this would
be comparatively easy pest TO overcome

HoRsE-BREEDrxG N EUROPE.

Horse-breeding is increasing year by year in
Europe. Ithas been greatly stimulated in Great
Britain, France, and Belgium by the drain to
the United States OF stations of the respective
breeds OF draft horses OF these several coun-
tries Another reason is the continued neces-
sity for cavalry mounts and army purposes. In
like this country. moreover, Governments there
seek TO foster the enterprise. In relation to
this matter the editor OF the Livestock Jour
nal, London, says;
Horse-breeding is gaining more attention ev-
erywhere. Government studs exist in France,
Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and now the
Provinces Of Herzegovina and Bosnia may re
added to the list During the late ServO-Bul-
garian encounter about 1900 horses were sent
from Possavina and the possibility OF a demand
springing up for horsefesh has quickened the
wits OF the powers that be in that province.
stallion depot has been established at Serajevo,
where forty-two superior animals, chiefly Arabs,
are stationed. No charge is made for their use,
and they are dispatched during the spring and
summer months to different districts. To these
quarters the farmers send their mares.

A milkless COW, says Prof Sheldon, is an
omay when she has the faculty Of maternity.
and she is an absurdity in domesticaton
when she only gives small quantity of milk
which is poor. Such a COW is a fraud and
humbug, and the farmer is feeble who keeps her.
Milk is the chief end and aim OF cows exis-
lance, and beef at the last What want OF
COW is that she will give US a calf and six hun
dred gallons of good milk in year; commencing
when she is three yeas old and going on till
beef for the butcher.
