THE RURAL HOME.
Bge-and-Bye.

A fair little child sang bye andbye,
Dreamiy watching the far-oH sky;
Her Voice was free as the morning air
Her life uDdimmed by loss and Care:
Thus Joy eusly, oh, happy childhood,
Thy time ia spent-all things seem good,
And III thy heart you know not why
You sing to-day oil bye-and bye.
But tbs passing, tbs passed,
And womanhOod years are reached at last;
And now a lady, whose thoughtful brow
Tells OF something know not how,
Infinitely dear as she sings with sigh
In soft, low tones, bye-and bye;
And above the song hope bears away
The hearts tender dreams OF a future day
Then from mid ocean OF lie again
The song was sung from lips OF pain,
Ii told OF hopes forever dead,
OF all those dreams by fancy fed
That had vanished to the long ago,
And left an impress that none could know,
Save her upon whose heart they lie,
Sadly singing bye and bye.
Once more, when the ocean was almost crossed
And the waves were calming that had madlN
tossed
Ger tired life now sinking to rest.
II rose again ana the tones were blest:
1t no longer spoke of disappointment and woe
But a beautiful land OF crystal glow,
Where Jesus and loved ones are waiting nigh
IN Heavens own bye and bye

THE BLIND GIRLS GOODNIGHT.
BY VIM. HAUGHToN.


They say. I'm blind. These sightless orbs are
dead
And quenched, and dark, and cold to heavens
sweet light;
Kind hands are laid in blessing on my head,
And fond lips tTemble as they kiss goodnight.
Goodnight goodnight What mean these
words to me,
Around whose couch His Christening hand
hath drawn
Perpetual darkness, and whose life must be
long, long night that waits an endless
Goodnight, goodnight!
\ sisters tears fell warm upon my face,
As her dear lips, in parting, pressed my own
I could have wept to meet that kind embrace,
Sad with her sorrow, else TO me unknown,
a father hand in blessing sought my brow.
4 mother fingered in the nightly prayer,
Thor parting footsteps linger round me now,
and thrill the night with forms diVinely fair.
Goodnight, goodnight
Bereft Of light-yet not Of heaven bereft,
And not of love whose lamp forever burns
81 bends beside me- when alone I'm left.
Aud ciIds the darkness till the dawn returns.
! kiss The hand that holds the Christening rod
Ny cross is painless and my burden light;
] lean upon thy heart, o pitying God,
And wait the morrow with the last goodnight.
Goodnight, goodnight!

A Neglected CrOp-Buckwhe he at.

BuckWheat is one OF the most valu-
able grains, both for human food and
breeding animals. 1t is only slightly
inferior to rye in nutritious matter,
having much the same character rs g.
food, and containing very nearly as
much nutriment as oats. 1t has an
undeserved reputation as productive
OF skin diseases in animals, the straw
especially being considered injurious to
pigs which are Uttered with it. We
have never noticed anything of this
kind IN many years use of it, but Oh
the contrary have found this grain q
most useful one, and one of the easiest
and cheapest to grow. 1t is sown at
a convenient time, will produce large
yield If it has good ground, and it is
easily thrashed. When mixed with
corn and rye in equalparts it is one of
the best feeds for horses, cows and
pigs, and for the popular cakes for the
table in winter it is unsurpassed by
any other grain. For these reasons
every farmer should grow an acre or
two, and provide a good piece of land
for it. We have grown seventy bushels
to the acre on good ground and in q
favorable season, but in the usual
careless way in which this crop is
treated, twenty-five bushels is rarely
exceeded. The land should be well
plowed late in June; in the South.
August is early enough; and a peck OF
seed to the acre is sufficient. This is
sown on the plowed ground, and one
good narrowing to cover the seed is
sufficient. The crop natures in about
ten weeks, and should be harvested as
soon as all the grain is set; although
some may be green at time OF cutting,
it will ripen in the shock. -American
AgricultUrist.

CHAPTER V.

CHAPTER V.
That was not in that house as an caves
dropper or spy-that l could have had no
object in playing such a part-the reader
who has followed me thus far will readily
believe. What l overheard was disclosed
to me by accident alone; and it seems ex-
ceeding strange that, considering the stu
alton, anything could have been overheard.
The door leading into the room next be-
yond was but slightly ajar; the persons who
were conversing two of them, apparently,
spoke in ordinary conversational tones and
not once in a high key; and sat much
nearer the hall through which 1 had Just
| been admitted than to the door of this in
ner room. Ordinarily l should have heard
no more than confused murmur of voices,
without an Ineligible word How, then,
was it that every word of that fifteen min
| utes' talk reached me as plainly as though
it had been spoken but three feet away?
There is but one explanation that can be
given 1t must be that this was one of
those houses which. through some accident
of architecture, have walls and ceilings
constructed like sounding boards, and so
| convey spoken words and betray secrets in
the most surprising manner.
This is what heard:
A rustic of paper, as if my letter was
being examined.
"Humphl Letter of introduction from
that old fool, Prof. --, recommending
some young squirt of a medical graduate
to me. Excuse me a minute, and I'll dis
pose of him in short order"
"No-he can wait; I'm in hurry. You
saw the old man last night?"
| yes"
What do you think? Do you see any
| changer"
! To tell the truth, very little. He's fee
| bic, as he has been for months, as any bed
ridden person always is; but l don't per-
ceive any sensible diminution of the vital
powers My diagnosis"
"Oh, fddlesticks with your internal doc
| tors jargon! Talk plain English, and tell
me if my respected uncle is likely to last a
| month yet
In plain English, then, he is; perhaps
| three of them"
! "Damnationl"
! A brief pause followed this hot and pas
sionate ejaculation. Then the voices be-
gan again:
But really, Clayton, | don't understand
the meaning of your haste and impotence
in this matter While it is true that your
uncle may live for some months yet, it is
equally true that he can hardly last a year
| His constitution is broken down; the natu-
raj decay of old age must speedily carry
him off. In the meantime, your position
can't well be better. You or your mother
are his only heirs, in possession of every-
thing, receiving his rents and managing his
affairs just as though everything was al
ready your own. When the pear is ripe,
it viii fall of its own weight; and in the
meantime you've only to watch it"
Indeed Suppose l should tell you,
Doctor Beaumont, that | have lately felt
| very much like shaking the tree myself"
The deliberate emphasis with which the
words were spoken, as well as the horrible
suggestion which they conveyed, sent a
cold SILVER through my veins, low
whistle from the other speaker greeted the
remark.

me letter of introduction. as stated. ort il
was upon his suggestion that l chose the
village of Berkeley as the field of my future
professional labors.
IL don't know very much of the place
myself, Mr.. Minton, he said. Il was never
there but once, and then only for a half
days stop But / learn that there are but
two physicians in the pace, and the popu-
lation ought TO bear another. You must
take life rough and-tumble at the start,
you know; and Berkeley will probably be az
good a location as any for beginner.
Wait moment, and will write You let
ter to present to Beaumont.
The Professor wrote off few lines,
placed them in an envelope which he ad-
dressed to DIR. Alexis Beaumont" and
handed the Enclosure to me. Then he threw
himself back in his chair, and went on
talking In musing kind of way.
That is the name he said. of perhaps
the most brilliant fellow that this school
ever graduated. He had the name of being
dissipated while here; but for all that he
left us ten years ago more proficient in
physics and surgery than any man who has
vet taken our diploma. He went to Berke-
ley. has been there ever since. and has the
name of being very successful. Go and
see him. Minton; he ought to receive you
kindly, il only cut of remembrance of his
alma mater.
On the following morning / babe fare

ward Berkeley. railroad journey of an
entire day brought me to my destination.
/ reached it ct ten o'clock in the night. l
was tired. an postponed any examination
of the place till the next day. After break
fast sailed forth from the hotel, and in
the course of long walk made a mental
estimate of my new home which afterward
appeared to be substantially correct. Il
was a small place of possibly three thou
sand Inhabitants. An old place, apparent
ly, to Judge from the antique architecture
of some of the mansions that stood back
from the street. Two large factories de-
noted the industries of the village. There
were many dwellings of the poorer class.
The situation was a beautiful one, at the
foot of gradual rise of meadow and wood
land, which, half mile away, was crowned
by noble mansion. the name of which, as
/ was told upon inquiry, was Fairview.
Az, Fairview. now our home, where / sit
writing this narrative. An hours stroll
through the village and its surroundings
gave me the impression that, like most vii
lagos, it had its select circle of wealth and
aristocracy and its larger population of the
poor, the needy, and the struggling.
My general curiosity satisfied, l inquired
for Dr. Beaumont's residence, and was d.
rected to a pretty cottage in the Queen
Anne style of architecture, fronted by .
large flower garden. A fountain played
before the door, f1anked on each side by
statuary; everything gave evidence that the
occupant possessed both wealth and taste.
The girl who answered my ring took the
Professors letter. and invited me into a
little parlor. She returned in moment to
say that Doctor Beaumont was Just then
engaged, but would see me in a few minutes.
! took chair and waited.

A Word In SeasOn.

We must speak n hasty word ore
wo go 10 press on tho proper obsor'
vance OF christmas. We need not
say how grossly the hallowed day is
too often abused by drunkenness and
disorderly conduct of all kinds. What
low conceptions OF tho day must they
have who can thus dosecrate it! Nor
are they much better who treat 1t as
time of mere animal enjoyment and
riotous living. Lett be welcomed with
all harmless good cheer, Tut let there
be an under current of earnest solem-
nifty, an inspiration Of His spirit
"who went about doing good, to fol-
low his example. Thus only may we
worthily commemorate tho natal day
OF our great Exemplar, or hope for
his blessing on our observance OF it.
The above is an editorial from the
FREE Press of Dec. Oath, 1885. Near
ly everybody in this county will recall
what came upon us in our Office the
next morning (Christmas), where we
were called to attend to the printing
of funeral notices (for Mrs. Brown,
the mother of o. L. Brown, ESQ.,
as n most remarkable practical illus
tration of the truth of our editorial.
We heard minister in the pulpit
say only last Sunday that the manner
in which Christmas is too generally
kept in this country would be more
appropriate to q celebration of the
birthday of the devil than of the ma
tivity of Christ. This is strong Ian
guage, yet will any thoughtful person
dare say that it is not strictly true?
Whata com mentary on our so.called
Christian civilization I!
