THE NASHVILLE UNION.
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1885.
The Daily Union.

THE UNION, though less than year old,
has met with degree OF success and gained
friends far in excess of its expectation when
the venture was inaugurated. Those who
have been thus kind in their patronage are
entitled to THE UNIONS profound graft
tude, which it is unnecessary to assure them
is fully accorded. Feeling that the time has
arrived when the public demands require
the issuance of larger paper, the UNION
has decided to increase TO eight pages, the
first issue making its appearance Jan. 1886.
1t has been induced to take this step on &C.
count of the limited space left by generous
advertising public for the publication of the
news. Its news.gathering facilities have
been enlarged and extended, and in quality
and quantity its original articles will be i'm
proved. No portion of the every.widening
field of news will be neglected. The politi-
cal intelligence from Washington as well as
the social gossip at the capital will be full
and complete. A thorough system OF state
correspondence has been organized, reaching
out into every nook and corner for the latest
and freshest currentevents.
The local force has been enlarged, and in
this department it will be the aim of THE
UNION to chronicle all the events Of the
day in Nashville in an entertaining man.
ner. Indeed, the effort will be to make il
the best local paper ever published in the
city.
The financial and commercial columns OF
THE UNION will be kept up to the high
standard that bankers and merchants
throughout its territory have conceded to
them. Unbiased reports will be given in
this important department of the paper at al
times.
Politically, THE UNION win undergo nc
change in its views. 1t will continue to sup
port Mr.. Cleveland's administration so long
as it continues to ADMINISTERING government
on true Democratic principles. Its utter
ances at all times will be, as heretofore, in
dependent of cliques and rings.

Roses.
Cor. Vick's Magazine.

Cor Vck's Magazine.
Several years ago bought a collec-
ton of ever-blooming roses, and Sc
lected for my garden spot formerly
used.as strawberry bed. The vines
had been plowed under year before,
and when l took possession, the
ground was mellow and full of de-
cayed vegetable matter. After the
beds were laid off, 1 had a hole about
two feet deep dugfor each rose. These
holes were filled half full of compost
from the horse stable, which was well
dug in. The earth was then filled in
until the holes were almost full, and
l carefully planted and watered the
young plants. They began to bloom
Immediately, and by fall had become
large, strong plants. They lived
through quite a cold winter, without
protection, and bloomed finely the
next year.
A friend VINO had bought roses at
the same time, said to me: "You
must water yours, they are so much
larger than NINE" 1 never did,
however, after they were first plant
ed, and think the difference was due
to the soil, which seemed to suit them
exactly. Since then l have bought
roses almost every year, and have
tried quite a number of varieties
They require a great deal of sun, and
should be enriched only with old ma.
nure, as the fresh is liable to burn
them up. Last spring planted six
teen or eighteen varieties; two O
them, Niphetos and Duke of Con
naught, died, but the Others grew
very well. After this time-January
"a few of the most tender varieties
such as Marechal Mel, Etoile d,
Lyon, ETC., are growing in the pit
but the rest are left in the beds, will

The ground about them was mulcheC

ing the roots from the cold and en-
riching the beds.

Profits of Black Walnut Culture.

Mr.. Graves, of Texas, planted ten
years ago ten acres of walnut trees,
by hand, 200 trees to the acre, in all
1000 tresss says the Gardeners Month
ly. The trees are now nine inches
through, and grow at the rate of an
inch year, and when twenty years
old they will be worth $25 tree,
making the forest worth $4,000.
But this isn't all. Last year the trees
bore 400 bushels of walnuts, that
brought $3.50 per bushel, making
$1,000 for the ten acres of land
800 per acre. If at the age of twenty
years half of the trees are cut and sold
at $25 a tree, or $25, 900, the nuts from
the remaining trees will be worth
$500 year. There is a hint in this
for our farmers. There are few far.
mers in this country that don't have
from five or six to ten acres of LAND
on them of little use except for tree
planting. If all such places were
planted in trees, it is easy to see thai
in few years. time they would ado
greatly to the value of the farm.

How to Fail in Farming.

At a farmers institute in Wiscon-
sin Mr.. A. BrOughton read a paper
on "The Successful Farmer" Near
the conclusion of it he gave the fol-
lowing directions on the subject of
how to fail in farming: BE as igno-
rant as possible, put off till tomorrow
what should be done today-worship
the god of laziness; trust all to luck
leave farm tools out in the weeds to
rot, then run in debt for new ma
chinery kick the cow that gives the
milk let the stock perish for want of
care; earn $10and try to pay SIS with
it; lie when the truth would answer
better; buy whisky to please the sa-
loon keeper; go to auction sales and
buy old trumpery; indorse notes for
dead-beats; go to law for the benefit
of the poor lawyer; give your latest
Plymouth Rocks to the preacher !;
neglect your wife, and tell her how
fast she grows old, and brag to her
how handsome Widow Bedotte is;
get drunk at the fair, and bet on a
horse race; neglect the hogs, and
when they die call it the hog cholera;
do as the lightning-rod man tells you;
get cheated twice by the same fellow;
go it blind when you have good eyes;
vote for your party, even against
your own interest; keep changing
your mode of farming; sell low and
buy high; pay out cash for what you
don't need, and get trusted for what
you must have; marry for love only,
and make fool of yourself; live in
FOOLS paradise and call it felicity
when you fail, call it bad luck, when
it is bad management.

4 RAINY DAY.

On day like this, when the streets are wet,
When the skies are gray and the rain is
falling
How can you hinder an old regret
For JOY long dead, and hope long set,
From sing out of its grave and calling?
Calling to you with voice so shrill,
That it scares the reason and stuns the will,
On day like this, when the sun is hid,
And you and your heart are housed to-
gether
If memories come to you all unbid,
And something suddenly vets your lid,
Like gust OF the outdoor weather,
Why, who is in fault but the dim old day,
Too dark for labor, too dull for play.
On day like this, that is blurred and gray,
When the rain drips down in ceaseess
fashion;
If dream that you banished and put away
Comes back to stare in your face and say
Mute eloquent words of passion
If the whole vast universe seems amiss-
Why, who can help it-a day like this?

weekly.

TIE WEEKLY UNION, which is the best
paper of its class ever published in Tennes-
see, is complete and reliable compendium
of the home and foreign news of the week.
Special attention is paid to its features OF
late and accurate market reports and an in
dustrial and agricultural department care
fully prepared for each issue, and printed
and mailed the day on which it is dated.
THE WEEKLY UNION is in these respects
equal to any of the agricultural papers, and
the farmer and country readers will find that
it gives more variety and better news than
can any of the one.idea or one-department
papers. The price of THE WEEKLY
UNION is 81 a year, and no where else can
those who are not conveniently situated as
to daily receive as much valuable informa-
ton for that amount
Sample copies can be obtained by applica.
ton personally or by letter.
In view of the fact that THE UNION has
doubled its capacity for furnishing its read
ers with news matter it finds it necessary to
return to its original scale Of prices.

Be Gay and Mirthful.

Henry Ward Beecher.
To all the young that are coming
into this church, l say, be young, be
gay, be hopeful, be mirthful. If God
has given you sparkling disposition,
thank God and educate it. While it
is not the end Of your life to have the
joy that comes from these qualities,
tits the privilege Of your life to per-
form all your duties under its infiu-
ence, and they can be performed in
no other way so well. The world
needs just such a development Of
Christianity. The world is full of
sorrow it needs cheer. 1t is full of
dependency; it needs hope. 1t is
full of cowardice; it needs courage.
1t travails in pain; it wants health

ger OF ChrlSt 10 be a llght-Dearer, ana
no man has a right to make himself
a dark lantern to go home and open
the light to himself and family alone.
They who carry a burdensome, woe
smitten face, dishonor God. 1t is con-
trary to His saying. 1t is sayingsub-
stantially to the world that all hope,
all the promise of the Divine pres
ence, all the love which is poured
like an atmosphere around about us
every day, from the bosom of Jesus
Christ, is false and wrong. The man
that carries a doubling, wearied, sad
dened face, misinterprets the religion
of Christ.

Grass is King.

Farm and Garden.
1t is well determined by statistics
that grass is king. Removefrom our
country all the meadows and pastures
and there would bea small half left
of the provender of the nation. "All
flesh is grass" is a truthful saying.
The various kinds of farm stock de-
rive their food from the grasses, and
therefore indirectly, grass is beef
steak, lamb-chop, side-pork, and sau-
sage. More than this, the various &C.
reals are grasses. The grass family
includes wheat, oats, barley, rye, rice
and corn. The members of this fami-
ly are usually small in size and gre
garious in habit. The bamboos of
China, Japan and other tropical coun-
tries are the largest species. Some of
these grow to the height of thirty
feet, and become sufficiently woody
to serve as building material in the
construction of the small houses of
the natives,
Whether large or small, the grasses
agree in having hollow, jointed stems,
with the long leaves borne alternate
ly in two rows or ranks. The leaf of
a grass, when pulled down, leaves
the stem without being torn, because
there is sheath enclosing the stem
upon the side opposite the blade.
Sedges have solid stems that are fire.
quently three-cornered; the leaves
are are in three rows, and without
the open sheath. The sedges inhabit
the low grounds most abundantly,
and in the economy of nature serve
to build up the low places and pre-
pare them for the sweeter and more
nutritious grasses.
Grasses are divided, for commerce,
into the tame and wild, or cultivated
and native grasses. A genus may
have some OF its members long and
under cultivation, while Others are
still wild. A most useful plant may
stand side by side with noxiouS
weed. Thus, the wheat is perhaps
without exception the most useful
plant that has been cultivated. In
the same genusis the miserable quack,
or quick grass, weed that when
once introduced is difficult to eradi-
cate. In like manner there is wild
barley or squirrel tail'' that grows
as weed in the West, while the cul.
tivated species of the same genus is q
most profitable crop.
The most interesting cereal grass is
corn. 1t is very rank growing grass
that perfects itself in one short sea
son, and is therefore an annual grass
1t differs from the other grains, anC
most of the grasses, in having its two
kinds of floral organs separated. Thi;
tassel is the pollen-producing flowers
0 and the flowers to be fertilized by thu
pollen are on cob, part way dowi
the stalk, on side branch; on thi
V account the corn crosses very readily
q Plant two distinct rows side by side
and they are very sure to mix, pro
l. vided that the flowers of both appea
# at the same time.
The grasses ofgreater value for tn
Is meadows are timothy, blue grass, or
y chard grass, red top, and severa
others. The timothy is not as gooc
y as some of the finer grasses for pas
n ture. Nothing excels blue grass fo

favorable. Some may say that Glove

Is is because it is not grass. Theleave:

Lafagan's Logic.
LOVE.

LOVE.
Chicago Ledger.
Love is cheap, and enjoy it.
1t is another name for gOdliness.
1t is the only modern swindle easily
forgiven.
1t is the ingredient that greaseS the
saw of life.
1t is nice cross between religion
and happiness.
Like the olive tree, it fertilizes the
surrounding soil.
Self-love is selfish. 1t won't wash
and hold its color.
1t lifts fifteen ounces off from every
pound of sorrow.
1t is the first virtue weaned, and
begins to root early in life.
Like the smallpox in bad cases,
the only way to cure it is to die.
Some natures never succeed in low
ing anything but new cider.
The love that comes from heaven
is that of son for his mother.
1t is just as natural for humanity to
love as it is for frog to jump.
"Unspoken love" is a good deal
like sea-sickness-pretty sick, but
can't vomit.
1t Is charity's best substitute, as
love is charity, with pedigree from
heaven.
1t is the second law of nature, and
plays second fiddle only to the law
of self-preservation.
Love dates from the beginning OF
the world, and is therefore the grand.
mother of creation.
Next to hot whisky, it has probably
done more to make a fool of man
than any other one thing.
When pure love is the traces tt
which husband and wife are hitched
they make bully team.
To many love is like the measles
1t never catches either but once, anC
that seems to satisfy them.
1t has never been truthfully defin
ed. Like the smell of limberge
cheese, it is hard to describe.

If constitutional, love would not
any more of virtue than the itch
but that's just tit requires more c
less self-denial and some charity t
succeed.
There is the common sense love
the kind that, when its lavished a
fections are not reciprocated, appa
emily, throws up the claim and make
love to the younger sister.
Glove at first sight" is general
about as long-lived as bottle of gil

right enough for poets; but when yC

There is a species oflove that new,
comes out of its hole, and is of I
more use in adversely than a pun
handle in the Sahara Desert. For +
Iieving the pain of the the unfortuna
it is about as much account as a Wea
poultice.
Young love lives at least twent
four months each year; but as it
natural for young people, ifthe obje
