On a bed of pain low lying,
Sad and weary full of signing,
Came to me this blossom bringing
Thoughts that turned complaint to singing.
Flowers shall unfold to the sun
Natures law is, but this one
Best and purest of them all,
Opens when the shadows fall.
In the deepest darkest night
Then il blooms to gladden. sight,
Breathing out upon the air
Sweetest incense like prayer.
Life has nights of deepest gloom
But they bring some flowers to bloom,
And we know the best of all
Opens when the shadows fall.

PATHS Wedding Presents.
Chicago Herald.

Il wish you could have seen all my
beautiful wedding presents, not only for
their value, but for the many associations
connected with Them" said Adelina Patti
recently, to a reporter. "From the En-
peror of Germany dear old King William,
[ had an exquisitely framed portrait in
seribed with his autograph, and then
the lovely gold services that were given
me by the king and the queen of the
Belgians. the queen of Spain. and Queen
Elizabeth, of Roumania. The prince
and princess of Wales sent me large ar
row, all incrusted with diamonds, the one
in the center being a great one of rare
beauty. I had magnificent presents
from all the Rothschilds, one of them be-
ing a large heart formed of lovely dia-
monds, and in the center a beautiful
ruby of great size. Another of the
Rothschilds gave me large spray, with
leaves and flowers formed of 6iamor DIS
and rubies. From Leopold Rothschild
[ had paper knife of tortoise shell, with
the handle entirely encrusted with dia-
monds. One of my prettiest presents
was service of silver sent by the king
of the Sandwich islands. You know, |
was decorated by him. But, oh, ha6
SO many presents that cannot take thu
time to describe them. | must tell you,
though, about the lovely things the peo-
pie of Swansea gave nae. How far is
Swansea from the castle? Just twenty
one miles. From all the poor people in
the valley and at Swansea / had beau
tiful gold box that they had bought for
me with the little sums they had saved
to remember me on my wedding day.
From the other people in Swansea, in :
Guiding Lady Vivian, who is sweet
friend, l had splendid service of old
Swansea china. Every plate of this
china, you know, is worth its weight in
pounds; it can not be duplicated, and is
SO rare that there was nothing the peo-
pie of Swansea could give me which
would more greatly express their affec-
tion.''

The Winter Management of Stock.
Ams rICan Farmer

| send you herewith few suggestions
concerning the management and the feed
ing and watering of stock in the winter
season, when We are subject to such vio-
lent and sudden changes in the tenn pera-
ture. To keep cattle in good, thriving
condition at such season requires care
and experience. l am wiItering So head
of cows, heifers and yearlings, mostly
grown cattle, and In fact mostly Jerseys
and they are all in thriving condition
Each grown COY has regular daily ra-
ton of two quarts of shorts and one quart
of meal.
[ feed the calves one pint of meal and
one pint of shorts and all the good hay
and oats in straw they need. [ change
ths feed of hay as the weather changes :;
thus, for instance, if it is cold, | feed the
COWS on swale hay In the morning, and at
noon [ give corn-fodder, while at night
the ration consists OF hay or oats in the
straw.
During moderate day, when it is
moist or thawing, feed the COWS once
on salt hay. Especially with young stock
| find they relish it and do well. I keep
them growing all winter, and they go to
grass IN good condition in the spring.
The proper watering of cattle is also es
sential to their well-being. At noon
allow them to go out to the we'll, not
more than two animals at a time. When
cold or stormy put them back in the
stalls at once, and when the weather is
pleasant or moderate [ allow them to re-
main out for two or three hours in the
warmest part of the day.
By the above method I see that each
animal is watered, and at the same time
the underlings have a fair chance. I
have fine Jersey COW, now just calved,
which l keep well housed, carrying warm
water to her twice day, with warm feed,
until the calf gets to be about ten days
old. | have never lost any COWS by in
fammation setting in, as | have frequent
~ kno-rn to be the case with other farm
ers, in consequence of the want of proper
care in allowing the animals to drink too
much cold, freezing water. Ny motto is
san ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure"

Arthur's Curtesy to the Reporters.
Kansas City Tines.

When Chester A. Arthur took his first
vacation as president in 1881 and spent
it with Clint Wheeler and z. @. Dun at
the Thousand Islands that same prying
curiosity which is now lamented at the
White House caused the simultaneous
appearance there OF the reporters of som
of the leading daily papers. The reporters
were educated, gentlemanly men, and
each presented himself to Gen. Arthur
and said he was there to send reports to
the people of the daily life of their
executive. He welcomed them AID
said that If nothing but the truth were
reported he could see no reason why this
could not be done. He and Mr.. Dun had
half dozsn rooms and colored attend
ent, and 1t was to be supposed that the
president would take his meals in his
own apartments. On the contrary, he
appeared at noon and evening every day
in the public dining room with
the CORES pondents. You are eat
ing some muscalonge, [ see," he said
one morning: 1T must be one that l
caught yesterday. I hope you'll fud it
good" With some such remark ] e al
ways opened conversation and put the re-
porters at their ease. He was relig .ously
left alone by the correspondents, but sell
dom failed to make advances for friendly
intercourse with them, coming to them
when they stood or sat at distance, rails
Ing his hat to them when he met them
out fishing, chatting with them " henever
he had the chance. And he nevvr found
fault with line they wrote about him.
once when the reporters had finished
writing their dispatches after midnight
they found the hotel shut and barred for
the night. There were lights in the pres
ident's rooms, for he used to read the
papers, write letters, play whist, and
smoke until almost daylight and sleep
until almost noon. But everybody else,
including the presidents valet, was in bed.
The reporters rang and knocked, tried
door after door aud window after window
and finally settled down at one doorway
and knocked steadily until it was opened
by the president of the United States.
Hello, boys" he said; "out late to-
night"
"Why, Mr.. President, we beg your par
don for disturbing you"
No apologies please" said he; 81
could not have the reporters left out IN
the cold.''
"Our dispatches keep US up late, SIR
said one.
"Oh, that won't do" said the president;
'I'm sure you've had nothing to write
about to day. I guess you're beginning
to get acquainted in the village. I hope
the young ladies appreciate your atten-
tlons." pure joke, for about the only
young ladies there were came over every
day in boat loads from Kingston, Canada,
laughingly Boosting that they meant to
win and wed the widower president. They
had no eyes for any one else, and they
went back to British soil before sun
down.

Peas
Western Rural

We arc asked by correspondent if the
marrowfat pea is good field pea. Yes,
we answer. If the soil is strong, it is a
good field pea. It is large and rather
late variety. If the soil is thin, the small
yellow pea, which is largely sown in Can
ada, would do better. In the south they
SOW the large COW pea. The ground
should be plowed to moderate depth
and the soil well pulverized. If sown
broadcast use two or three bushels per
acre, and cover with a small pillow or a
cultivator. They are hardly covered deep
enough with a harrow. The pea as a
green fodder crop is exceedingly valuable,
and farmers would find it to their advan-
vantage to give more attention to the
matter of growing peas for food for
stock. They will grow on almost any soil,
though the better the soil the better
the crop. In England they are
grswn extensively. Being q bone ana
muscle forming food they are precisely
what most of the animals need. For
sheep and swine nothing can be better.

Journalism in Arizona.

A recent number of The Arizona Howl
CT contains the following editorial note
With ghoulish glee seldom equaled in
Arizona journalism the putty-faced edi-
tor Of the Paralyzer announced the other
day that we were dead and printed our
OBITUARY. The only possible excuse that
the emery cHss had for doing this was
that We have not been in Al Blodgett's
salon during the last few days. But he
knew very well that this was because we
were temporarily indisPosed, having been
to Tombstone few days ago and renew
ed some acquaintance. We are all right
now, however, and when the galoot of the
Paralyzer turns in his toes, it will give
Us great pleasure to say that his memory
will be most cherished by those who knew
him least"
