. n1psUnmER NIGHTS DREAM.

We had heard the night birds calling in the thick
cts far away,
While the shades of eve were falling, while the
twilight gathered gray,
And the scented gales of cleaning waited secrets
from the sea,
And the first pale star was cleaning in golden
mystery.
Then holy calm enwrapt US, and blissful 81
lence fell:
Far away the doves were planning, droned the
beetle in the dell.
Ahl the words that are not uttered, like the
songs that are not sung,
Are more musical in cadence than are known 60
mortal tongue.
Had we eaten of the lotus, or was this land OF
spells,
This an isle OF ancient fable where a great En-
chanter dwells9
Naught is fair hu0 that we dream of, and we
dreamt a little while,
AS the wanderer in the desert dreameth of the
distant Nile.
Ali that bygone time we dreamt OF, when the
earth was fresh and young,
And great Pan beside the river piped the rust
ling reeds among.
There were naiads in the StreamletS, Gnere were
dryads in the trees,
And the apples still hung golden IN the fair Hes
perides.
We are wiser; we have banished from their
haunts the gods of old;
ALI that wandering faith has vanished with the
outlived Age of Gold;
Yet, when moonlight winds are blowing, lovers
voices, blending low.
Murmur still the same old story Paris whispered
long ago.
Yonder moon is growing paler; soon within the
reddening sky,
Shall the star of morning vanish as the Sungod
draweth nigh,
And the visions that are born in the sweet 81
lence Of the night,
Like mist armies on the hillsides, from his darts
shall take their fight

canning, to give weight to our warn

of canning, to give weight to our warn
ing.
The meat is packed in tins while
raw, then sealed, and cooked in an out
er vessel of boiling water, with some
times the addition of chemical to
raise the temperature. When cooked,
the can is pierced, and, as soon as the
air and steam have been expelled, it is
soldered. Experts know when it is
ready for soldering; a moment too
soon, and the mischief is done, because
If air is left in, the tin bulges, and the
meat will not be good. On the con-
trary, If the tin has sunk, it is an in
fallible sign of goodness; it proves q
vacuum, which is natural, as the meat
shrinks whom no air is left in the tin.
Some may say, what matter il air
be left in the tin? Simply this; nitro
gen, an element of air, imparts to
bodies with which it comes in contact
a tendency to change and decay.
Often on opening tin of decayed
goods, people are heard to say "the
air is escaping" instead of which, the
slight Kissing sound is the result of the
air rushing in, another proof that
there was ~ vacuum. Well, we go so
far as to say that, assuming the out
ward sign OF goodness above referred
to; label bearing the name of good
exporter or importer; and also re-
liable vendor of the article, whether
meat, fish, milk, soup or vegetable, the
chances are million to one against
any being injured, much less poisoned,
by tin goods.
Another caution, though; always
look out for any little globules of sol
der that sometimes find their way in
side the tin; and take care, specially
in the case of salmon and lobster, to
empty the contents, as soon as opened,
into an earthenware vessel. This is
necessary for everything but milk

Look Out for Seed Corn Now,


1t is no exaggeration to say that
millions of dollars are lost every year
from planting seed corn that will not
grow. We tested O. number of samples
last spring, of corn of our own gro wing
and from some Of the best farmers in the
neighborhood, and did not find one
that was uniformly good. Some of
the ears from the outside of the crib
would be good, but those from the in
side would be poor. Farmers would
say, ST know good seed corn when I
see it, and will warrant this to grow"
but on testing it, more than half the
kernels would not terminate.
The trouble is not due go much to
immaturity, as to the careless method
of gathering and keeping the corn. If
the corn is thoroughly dry when put
in the crib, and afterwards kept dry,
the chances are that it will prove good.
The growers of seed sweet-corn, the late
varieties of which are exceedingly diff
cult to cure properly, build narrow
racks on which the ears are spread
out for several days or weeks. There
is general impression that corn
for seed should be left growing till it is
thoroughly matured. This is mis-
take. Practically, it is far safer to
cut corn for seed very early and let it
ripen in the shock, than to run the
risk of having it nipped by an early
frost, or having the curing delayed by
the shorter days and. damp weather of
the late season. The first point is to
get the corn thoroughly dry before
putting in the crib. And then the
crib should be very narrow and with
open Stats at bottom and sides and q
good wide roof. to keep off driving
rains. If all these conditions cannot
be secured, the only way we can be
sure of good seed corn is to select the
best ears and leave the husks attached
to the butts and tie the in traces
and hang them up in traces in an airy
barn or room for the winter. The few
farmers who had such corn for last
spring, could get their own price for it..

ingalls, Frank Constituent.

ftSt-
Senator Ingalls,, OF Kansas, is ugly, a
point upon which he is extremely sensi-
tive, and he tries to counteract his nat
ural misfortune in this respect by affect
ing an elegance of attire that is positive
" dudish. The other day he was just
entering the senate chamber with has col
league. when the latter was called TO one
side, and Senator Ingalls, dropped into
the chair usually occupied by the door
keeper, and which was at that moment
vacant. \ moment later there strOde
down the corridor big westerner with
the p 'airie mud clinging to his heels and
with an application for an Office in his
pocket.
With glance of whitening contempt
he came up to the supposed door-keeper,
and, sticking out his card, said:
''Here, you dude, trot ont Senator In

distorted features of the senator, and
then replied:
"Well, if 1 thought he had worse

til dark to come near him.
This was enough, and Senator ingalls,
slipped out, leaving his constituent

AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE.
Robert Toombs at the Funeral Of Al

Robert Toombs ut the Funeral of Al
eIandcr II. Stephens.
Chas- J. Woodbury., in the Overland.
The last time l saw Mr. Stephens was
ii the great hall of the capital at At
lanta. and he had been dead four days.
Gen. Toombs was 10 pronounce the fu-
neral oration. 1t was fitting that he alone
should utter the tribute felt by all. The
blind old man, whose face was once, as
an admirer said, 1.-THE Southern type of
manly beauty, was lead 10 the front by
Gov. Colquitt. He uttered tho simple
words, "Gen. Toombs," and retired. The
vast concourse was hushed in silence
and suspense so intense as to be almost
insupportable. He drew near the coffin,
bent long over is, asi II Str6ining for one
more vision of the wasted form within,
then turning toward us the Berseaker
vissage, craven all over with stylus of
passion and dispair, he essayed TO speak,
but in vain. His grief broke from his
sightless eyes in tears, and so choked
his voice that for many minutes its ac-
cents could not be understood. What
remember the time, described in my pres
ence 10y eye-witnesses, when the man be-
fore us had held a national audience in
check by the shere force OF declamatory
eloquence, and forced his convictions
with the momentum of unsurpassed or
atory. The magnificent voice was
broken sadly enough now. That fare
well address, none who heard it can for
get. In it was poured, as in a libation,
an'entire generation of pain and disap-
pointment. At the vault he tarried
long after the last light had fallen fro m
the summit of kennesaw, ard even after
the twilight had deapened into darkness
his sobs were heard at the tomb of his
dead friend.
Not many OF the multitude present
ever saw Gen. Toombs after that day.
And now he himself has gone, and we
are reminded how fast the sea of obiiv-
ion--the only one that will not give up
its dead-is creeping over fortemque
Cyan fortem que Cloanthum, and the
old order of things in the south.

Wins a Bride by Home Rum.

Williamson, of the Chicago Nine,
Wins Bride by a Home Rum.
The marriage of Williamson, the pro-
ficient third basennan of the Chicago nine,
was very romantic and happy one. His
wife was q beautiful New Orleans girl of
good extraction. The Chicago club was
playing an exhibition game III that city,
and Flint, the catcher, and his wife acci-
lentally met the young lady at her hotel.
Mrs. Flint invited her to witness the game.
She had never seen one, and knew nothing
Of and cared little for the pastime, but
she consented to go if Mrs. Flint would
promise not to introduce her to any
baseball people. The promise was given
and the ladies attended the game. Tie
young lady became considerably inter
ested in the playing, and seemed to have
her heart set on having the Cllicagos win.
The champions, however, were getting
worsted, and it depended on Il good bats
man to win the game for them. They
had the final innings and three men on
bases would be left there ii The striker
failed. Williamson came to the Oat, and
the young lady unconsciously arose from
her seat III her excitement. She took in
tho situation. and pulling OFF hex corsage
bouquet said to Mrs. Flint: "If he brings
those men in l'N throw him these dow-
ers Others we're as excited as she.
There WAS not sound. Williamson was
the only cool one there. He got the ban
he wanted, and sent it exiting" The
result was three tailies by the other men
and home run himself. Williamson
made that home run straight into the
girls heart AS he touched the home
plate and sped farther ON by the mo-
ment11m of his run he came painting un-.
der1eath the girl with The bouquet. She
raised it aloft and tossed it at his feet. He
picked it up as the cheers Of the specta~
tors rent the air, and he bent low in q bow
to his admirer. Blushing at her own au-
dacity, she sat down and buried her face
in Mrs. Flint's shoulder. Her exploit,
however, was lost sight OF in the rejoicing
OF those who had oct their money on the
victorious club. That night there was a
reception to the club at the hotel, and she
was presented to the home-runner. They
looked into each others eyes, and the Um-
pire Cupid cried out, "Cne strike. -.
