Round me the rumble and the thund'rous
HAT
OF all city swells and dies;
BOUND thee the holy, silent incense sweet
OF perfect flowers and perfect skies
Round me the agony of daily strife
Is waged for honor, fame, and gold;
Round thee the halo OF q country life,
That fits thee like crown, is rolled.
Are we apart Nay, love, I think not so;
Our hearts beat strong across the space,
No lands divide us long, my love, I know;
My soul will find its resting place
And yet the city's thund'rous, throbbing
maze,
And all the country's perfect skies
Were one to me, could a moment gaze
Into the summer of thy eyes.

Her Majesty and the Newspapers.

Queen Victoria has always taken ketr
interest in the newspaper descriptions O,
ceremonies in which she figures. This
womanly kecnness has again shown dur
ing the recent visit 10 Liverpool. Her
majesty had special orders gwen to all the
daily newspapers to furnish a supply OF
pies for her use at the Newsham house.
This order of the queen acted as stini-
ulus to the reporters, who knew they
were writing for the eyes of royalty.

A Victim OF tho Piano Plague.

A German savant, who had long been
suffering from the everlasting pianoforte
playing next door, has devised the follow
ing method Of putting stop to it at
pleasure: An electric battery was con-
nected with a powerful electro-magnet.
Whenever current of electricity was
turned on its effect could easily be felt
through the wall by the horizontal steel
strings in the piano, which was instantly
put out of tune. Whenever the electric
current was stopped, which occurred as
often rs the victim of the piano plague
went out, the mystical influence stopped
and Miss Else, the offending pianist, could

Wiring Electricity for Power Purposes.
At a recent gathering of electricians
there was talk of establishing stations in
the coal regions of Pennsylvania and Of
transmitting electricity by wire for power
purposes instead of transporting the coal.
II is not improbable that great strides will
soon he made in this direction. The sug-
eestion is another form of an idea that
was entertained by Siemcns, who predicted
that the time would come when coal
would be converted into gas at the mine
ut the rate of 10000 cubic feet per ton,
and would be pumped to manufacturing
centers, thus doing away with the expen-
stve system of railroad transportation now
in vogue PHILADELPHIA Record

Imperfect Culture.
Moore.

Here is little nugget, which We extract from the writings of all
 eminent aathvr on practical agri- culture. He says: "Imperfeci
 culture is losing game fer the
 farmer, because land half worked can never more than half pay.
 The successful farmer-the one
 who has money in the bank and is unincumbered on his farm-dl,oays believes in through culture, and demonstrates the truth of his be- lief by his work" The farmer who believes in, and loves his calling. will never fail in realizing a good profit from his labor. Farming cannot be substituted at a make shift, or a last resort. when all oth. CT rerources tail. and become 8 source of profit at once. It re- quires brains, practiilcal expert ence, energy and industry as well. Nine ten;hs of the failures among farmers is due 10 a want of some one, or all of these prerequisites. We repeat, that in order to become gooi farmer or fruit.groweri re quires large amount ot close ob- servaiion. The idea that the far mer needs but little talent to sue ceed, is a iallacy. We need the best and brigh;et men for the calling. Dull men should seek some other business where less ability is required, if they desire to be successful. Rural and Work. man.

The Grain crop of 1885.

Hon Norman J Colman, Commis- sioner of Agriultnre, is on hand promptly with his report tor the past year. From this we learn that estimates of the statistician of the department of agriculture for the principal cereal crops of the year are completed, and the aggregate bushels are as follows in round millions: Corn 1886, wheat 3j7, oats 629; the area of corn is 73,000 900 acres, wheat 34 ,000,O0 oats 23,O00, GOO. The value of corn averages nearly 33c per bush. el. and makes an aggregate of s635. GOO, 900, s5,000,000 less than the value of last years crop. The decrease in the product of wheat ia 30 per cent, and only r per cent in the valuation, which is 275,000,000. The valuation of oats is flS0,000 900. The reduc. ton in wheat is mostly in the val leys of the Ohio and in California. These states of Ohio. Indiana. Illinois, Missouri and Kansas last y ear produced ITO, 0,o0o,O bush- els, this year 80, ,000, 900; a reduc. tion of 90,oOo, 900 bnshels. The produc. If all cereals is 5 bushels to each inhabitant, and the aggre gate volume is larger than any tor mer year.
