MY LOVERS BARK.
LAURA DoN's LAST POEM.


lean from my window, looking down
On stony arches and turbid tide.
The lights stream in the drowsy town.
And the wake OF oars where bOatmen glide,
Far far beyond to the harbor's mouth;
To the beacon light like q lurid star,
Where the winds blow hot from the purple
south,
And the foam caps leap at the sandy bar.
Oh the ship at anchorl Oh bargemen bold
Oh river rolling to meet the sea
NV heart within me is faint and cold;
pray you, pray you give ear TO me,
Oh tell me where is nv lovers barkY
Is it riven CT wrecked by Indian gales2
On some TAR sea Ia the name ess dark,
Does a. white moon rise DER its tattereo sails
Some morn she will come to the harbor's mouth
With the musk of the East in her duSky hold:
shall see her maStS i'll the purple SOuCn.
shall hear the songs of her sailors bold;
shall hear her cordage rattle and strain
shall lean me forth and with Joyous tears
Look on the bark of my love again
The first OF all at the crowded piers.
And what will she bring me from that fa- land :?
What Indian jewel or pearl OF price2
What diamond. sifted through burning sand?
What bloom from jungle or field of rice?
All mel All me shall find once more,
In the priceless treasures that crowd that ship,
The old lost gold that my hair once wore,
Or the old lost red of my faded lip?
OhiI sit and wait at the dreary PIERS
And the ships return and the ships depart;
And my hopes die slow with the dying years,
And drop their ashes upon my heart.
The waves may mock the winds may shout.
The white moons wax and the white moons
wane
The tide rolls in and the tide rolls out,
But the bark of my lover comes never again.

Effects of Connecticut Cider.

IFrom the Springfield (dass) Republican,
The big apple crop and consequent
overflow of cider enables the Will
mington farmers to pass an unusually
gleeful winter, and q correspondent re-
lates these cider anecdotes: Uncle
Enos, after round of calls on recent
frosty day, brought up at night at the
house of q relative, and asked in an
unsteady voice for a glass OF cider to
help him up the hill. "No, Uncle
Enos," said the woman of the house,
you have had cider enough to-day,
but anything that [ have that you
would like to eatyou are welcometo."
"Well, Eliza" said the old man, 81
know you won't go back on your word,
and I'll take a bowl of bread and
cider" Another old farmer took TO
visiting the cellar so often that do
nestle wrapped herself in a sheet and
stationed herself near the long row of
cider barrels in the cellar. The old
man, with cider mug and tallow dip
in hand, started at first sight of the
ghostly visitor, but, gathering himself
together, he calculated incoherently:
81 amt afraid on ye, you can't hurt
me; I've got son in the legislature"

krupp Hammers.
From Harper's Magazine.l

There is curious personality in
hammers, and workmen like to give
them names. There are eighty-two
steam hammers in the Krupp works,
of from 400 pounds weight to fifty
tons. The largest is "Fritz," whose
fifty tons fall on an anvil and anvil
block weighing together 1880 tons,
these resting on a foundation 100 feet
deep. The next in size is named
"Max." 1t would require a poet like
him who sang the "Song of the Bell"
rightly to describe the action of
"Fritz," and | do not wonder that the
emperor, on his visit here, presented
the worker of this hammer with a.
watch. I observed ''Fritz" for some
time at work upon the steel stem of an
Austrian ironclad, the Ferdinand Max.
The metal was from one casting, with
out seam or weld, forty-five feet long
and of twenty-five tons weight. Four
men with long clamps managed this
red-hot mass, swung over the anvil by
a crane. They turned it readily this
way and that, the foreman at each
pause uttering signal which "Fritz"
understood, answering with soft tap,
or g. gentle pressure, or with an earth
quake. [ was curious to see the anvil
block which supplemented the ability
of the earth to sustain such shocks
through a length of time, and was
presently shown one which, after
twenty-one years of humping, had
cracked straight through from top to
bottom, possibly beneath some gentle
stroke which was the last feather to
break its huge back. Krupp does not
make plates for ironclads, but only
such parts as might be needed for
ordinary ships.

Won q Mans Wife.
From the New York Tribune. ]

From the New YORK IrlDun0.J
When Washington was ayoung man,
in travelling along the upper Potomac,
he stopped at an inn one day and in
quired the news. The landlord told
him the sensation of the day was
jumping match for O. wife on the estate
of one of the richest planters near by.
On being told that it was open to all
corners Washington started for the
place and arrived there just as the
jumping was about completed. He
noticed the young lady IN question
was highly pleased with the successful
jumping OF one Of the competitors,
who had outdistanced all the others.
At the close Washington asked II he
might try his chance, hewas told togo
ahead and made by far the best Jump
of the day. As he returned to the
crowd he noticed that the young
lady's face had fallen, and he went up
to her and remarked: "You would
have preferred 1 had not been the one
to excel the other" The lady candid
w said this was so. Then said Wash
ington: 81 give my chance to
him." and returned as unknown as he
came. Toward the close of the Revo-
luton this young lady, now the wife
of a colonel of militia, met Washing
ton, and on telling her husband that
she had met him before, ne doubted
the fact, and the two went to Wash
ington to decide it. "Yes,' replied
Gen. Washington, 81 saw your wife at
the jumping match before she was
married, and believe / won her."

Management OF sheep.

Jonathan Talcottt, of Rome, n. Y,
writes as follows of his experience in
the handling of sheep in the American
Cultivator: In presenting my method
of sheep breeding and caring for them,
/ do not expect to benefit old breeders.
or flock masters, to any great extent,
but If the young beginners will peruse
carefully my manner OF caring for the
flock, and will note the methods
adopted, the buildings in which they
are to be housed, the care of the
mother and the newborn lamb or
lambs, as the case may be, he can
hardly fail of getting some ideas that
will be beneficial in his own practice.
If young farmer, or an old one for
that matter, dislikes sheep as farm
stock, my advice to such would be, do
not become a. breeder of sheep, but
take such farm stock as you do like to
care for. If any person goes into the
business of sheep breeding who has no
fancy for it, he cannot expect to give
the flock the care necessary to make
the experiment successful.
The breeding of fine stock Of different
kinds requires careful study and at
tention to many minor details to
achieve success in times of depression
such as have prevailed during the past
year. To illustrate, [ will mention the
case of g. neighboring farmer who keeps
some fifteen or twenty sheep as his
usual flock. In the fell of 1884 he did
not separate his ram from his ewes
until they had had their season of rut-
ting and been served; then it was too
late, of course. He must trust his
chances, as he said, with his lambs.
The same neglect, however, that failed
to separate his ram from the ewes in
the fall before, neglected to provide g.
warm place for his ewes to bring forth
their young. The result was the
lambs came in very cold weather, and
were all lost except one or two, and
the sheep nearly died from exposure
also.
Another case is of a young farmers
boy who had few ewes that brought
forth their lambs during the same cold
spell, and yet the lambs were allraised
successfully. This lad in his teens had
a. warm place provided for his ewes in
a portion of basement cellar. Here
he cared for them, and fed them a
small ration of grain daily. His little
flock paid him, while that Of his neigh
Dor was kept only at loss.
These two opposite cases, upon
farms which adjoined. where these
sheep were kept, are not Isolated cases.
There are hundreds of sheep, and es-
pecially the no-care sort, and usually
such men need the income from their
flocks more to meet their immediate
current expenses than those who like
the boy mentioned above, are success
full in their undertakings by being care
full in the small things pertaining to
their calling.
Having our breeding flock of ewes in
good condition and we'll cared for to
the present time, it becomes all good
flock masters to have few separate
places provided for the ewes when they
drop their lambs, and especially if they
drop twins, where they can be unmo-
Tested by any other sheep during their

Glover and Grain.

The fact is noticed by many farmers
that clover after winter grain endures
the ensuing wi1.ter much better than
that sown with spring barley or oats.
For one reason the clover seed is
usually sown earlier on winter grain,
and is therefore stronger in the fall.
Yet where this is not the case the
superiority of clover sown on winter
wheat or rye is very obvious the fol
lowing spring, especially if the winter
be favorablefor heaving the roots out
of the soil. 1t is probable that the
different mechanical conditions of the
surface will explain these results.
The ground that has not been
plowed for twelvemonth has
had its surface rendered more
compact by heavy rains, while that
plowed the previous spring is porous,
and holds much more water. Heavy
rolling of the surface of spring sown
grain after seeding will, perhaps,
remedy this evil in part. If the sur
face, in the fall continues very open
the roller may again be used with ad-
vantage to make the soil less receptive
of water. Clover, with oats is more
likely to be winter-killed than after
barley, and the peculiarly fluffy or
spongy surface LETT by good oat crop
on land Astounding in vegetable matter
is the cause.

FARM AND HOME.
Little Feet.

Little Feet.
BY FLORENCE PERCY.
T no little feet, so small that both may nestle
In one caressing hand
Two tender feet upon the untried border
or Lies mysterious land.
Dimpled and soft, and pink as peach-tree bios
In Aprils fragrant days
How can they walk among the briery tangles
Edging the worlds rough ways?
These white-rose feet along the doubtful future
Must bear a womans load;
Alas since woman has the heaviest burden,
And walks the hardest road.
Love, for while. will make the path before
All dainty, smooth and fair
Will Gull away the brambles, letting only
The roses blossom there.
But when the mothers watchful eyes are
shrouded
Away from sight of men,
And these dear feet are left without her guiding,
Who shall direct them then?
How will they be allured, betrayed, deluded-
Poor little untaught feetl-
Into what weary mazes will they wander,
What dangers will they meet?
VIII they go stumbling blindly in the darkness
OF sorrows fearful shades?
Or find the upland slopes Of Peace and Beauty
whose sunlight never ia des2
Will they go toilingup Ambitions summit
The common world above?
Or in some nameless vale securely sheltered,
Walk side by side with Love?
Some feet there be which walk Lies track IN
wounded,
Which find but pleasant ways.
Some hearts there be to which this life is only
round OF happy, days.
But they are few. Far more there are who wan.
der
Without hope or friend
Who find their journey full of pain and losses,
And long to reach the end.
How shall it be with her, the tender stranger,
Fair-faced and gente-eyed,
Before whoee unstained feet the worlds rude
highway
Stretches 30 strange and wider
All who may read the future2 For our darling
We crave al blessings sweet
And pray that He who leeds the crying ravens
Will guide the baby's feet
