sowing seed together in little field by
the pretty river, and he had preached
her a nice sermon about great re-

CANADA THlSTLES.
A Method of Killing Them Which II
Claimed to Do Its Work Well.

Claimed to Do Its Work Well.
Certain sections Of the country are
becoming overrun with Canada this
ties. This thistle grows from twelve
to eighteen inches high and has few
small branches near the top and nu-
merous pink blossoms. It grows very
straight, it's leaves are much finer than
those of the ordinary thistle, and more
thickly covered with spikes. When
once a Canada thistle gets started, the
long, slender, white roots form net
work under the ground, aud from these
roots at short intervals thistles spring
up, and SO they grow in patches and
not separately. as the common thistle
often does, Many farmers are both
cred extremely with these thistles, and
while one farmer is trying every thing
he can hear Of to kill the thistles, his
neighbor is a man who does not let
such things bother him or does not
know that there are Canada thistles on
his farm and his crop, often of several
acres, furnishes seed for all his neigh
bors and the wind delivers the seed
gratis. To be sure there is law for
bidding any one letting Canada thistles
go to seed on his place, but man does
not like to complain of his neighbors
and SO he will put up with his neigh
boris carelessness and fight the thistles
instead of his neighbors. have been
troubled for years by Canada thistles;
/ have tried to kill them by keeping
them moved down; heard that kero-
sene oil would kill them and tried that;
some one told me to cut them down
and put a handful of salt on the stub,
and | tried that but still they kept
growing; but at last am perfectly
satisfied that they can be completely
killed if properly dealt with. This
year there is Canadian on the farm
who has had experience with Canada
thistles. / will give the directions,
which / trust will be tried by every
reader who is troubled with these
thistles:
Let some of the thistles grow up
nearly ready to go to seed, then cut
off these large thistles close to the
ground; do not trouble with the small
ones, for the large ones are directly
connected with the main roots. The
stubs Of these thistles will be seen to
be hollow. On the next day after
cutting off these thistles, when the sap
has dried out Of the hollow stubs, go
through with mixture made as fol-
lows: One gallon of cows urine,
cupful of ammonia and / cupful of
glauDer salts; put small quantity on
each stub. This will be absorbed by
the stub and go down the hollow to
their roots. Put this mixture oil the
stubs on alternate days, till the young
thistles around the stubs begin to turn
yellow and wilt This method makes
q good deal of trouble, but one can we'll
afford to be at some trouble when he
knows that will end it Ohio Farmer.

which made the master amenable to
the law. Within a week the two first
officers got so intoxicated that they
could not take an observation at noon,

unknown to them. The captain, while
drunk, upset lamp and set the cabin

AT ALDEN's.


We were sitting by the chimney. /.
In the hearth-fire's Pickering light.
On the cliff, In Alden's cottage, z.
Where rested for the night;
And told the scenes and customs
OF the lands beyond the sea;
While old Alden's little daughter
Sat and listened at my knee.
In her blue-eyed radiant beauty
There was something shy and wild, ..l<
And the maiden's romance mingled z
With the wonder of the child.
Hours had passed, the old sea captain
In his armchair dozed and dreamed7 =
Sadly moaned the neighboring ocean,
On the panes the iire-light cleaned.
Then she spoke OF knights and Journeys
And her cheeks we're all aglow,
For all day that Attle maiden
Had been reading Ivanhoe: e.
Spoke OF ghosts and 81 magiciansy
While her voice to- whispers grew,
Toward the panes cast startled chances.
Wondering If such thihgs were tue.
And improvlsed a story -
FIT for such place and hour;
How, for long years by the ocean,
in cruel fairy's power,
Lived little maid enchanted,
Till her faithful knight, one day.
While her guardian fierce was sleepir9s
Stole that little maid away.
AS I spoke, her blue eyes twinkled
With a merry. mystic light;
AS spoke, she rose and fingered
In the door to say Goodnight.
But her lamp threw such a radiance
Round the roguish, pretty head, /
That swiftly stopped an& kissed her.
And she blushed and laughed and fed.
When / came once more to ANEen's
beheld mournful change,
For the little mad had vanished,
And the house seemed sad and strange
Alden's pale, gaunt look foreshadowed
What his quiver.ng lips would say,
And grasped his hand in silence,
And in silence turned away.
All the proud and cherished structures
BY lifelong patience wrought.
All the triumph which should follow
Days of toll and nights OF thought,
Crumble, sink away and vanish,
Like the oceans shifting sand,
When that sweet face comes before me-
That lost dream of fairyland.

One of the Mort Remarkable Women Ire.
land Ever Produced.
The most remarkable woman that
Ireland produced in the sixteenth
century, and one that has no parallel
in the history of her time, was Grainne
O'Mailly, the Sea Queen Of Connaught.
She ruled the, pirates of the Atlantic
coast with hand of iron, and this in
an age when her sex was pretty well
sat down upon.
Awoman of splendid physique, she
had the olive skin and lustrous black
eyes that are still common in Galway,
the result OF intermarriage with the
Spaniards. The father of Grainne was
lord OF the Isles of Arran, an intrepid
mariner who took his daughter with
him on his piratical expeditions, and
impaired to her such nautical knowl-
edge that when he died, though but
nineteen, Grainne took command of
his fotilla and could defy the most
powerful coast lord of Ireland.
She had wooden ships under her
command, but her squadron was large
" made up of coracles.' the ivy
wicker-work boats covered with horse
hide that are still to be found in use
among the peasantry in the wild hooks
of Connemara.
The sea queen Of Ireland was not
content with plundering Spanish gal
Icons, but finally attacked English yes
sells with such. fierce persistence that
Elizabeth proclaimed her an outlaw
and offered five hundred pounds ster-
ling for her capture. Troops were
sent to lay siege to her castle, but after
p fortnight OF fighting they reiterated
beaten.
When the fearless Irishwoman was
on her way home to Connaught ter
rible storm arose, and the fleet was
obliged to put in at Howth harbor. At
the castle there she demanded shelter
for herself and men, but was SO
brusquely refused that she turned back
toward the shore.
A beautiful child ran across her
path, followed by her nurse. Grainne
stopped them, found the boy was the.
heir to Howth and without more ado
took him upon her mighty arms and
strobe off to her ship. She took him
to Connaught and demanded as his ran
som the promise that forever at meal
times the doors of the castle should be
thrown open and all wayfarers who
wished should be entertained. It is
worth noting that to this day the
promise granted has been religiously
kept
The beautiful pirate proved her right
to her sex in the encouragement she
gave religion and education; her UNI
tagging love for her children; the
high value she placed upon woman's
virtue and courage, and the strong
good sense and judgment that char
acterized her treaties. = Chicago Nes1s.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

There are forty -three summer ~
semblies modelled after the original
one at Chautauqua, N. r., and its out
line Of work is done in each.
An American Society 81 Church
History has been formed in New York
City. with Rev. Dr.. Schan Is president,
and Rev. s. M. jackson as secretary.
The society starts with distinguished
membership.
Bishop Gilmour, Of the Catholic
diocese of Northern Ohio, has or
dered that no priest shall ofisciate al
funerals where flowers are used. This,
he explains, is done to prevent the
abuse attending their use.
Canon Rawlinson, whose volumes
are known to all scholars. is shout
seveny-three years old. He is not
impressive in personal appearance,
NOR is he a popular preacher, on ac-
count of serious impediment in his
speech.
college boys are receiving parting
gifts from their classmates. The one
who never won prize receives big
wooden medal, the one who is always
late gets an alarm clock, the baby re-
oeiFas wooden spoon, the most i'll
hunored member bowl OF sugar, and
either members are as consistently re-
membered. It is doubtful whether the
world will be more just.
Christian work among railroad
men receives large share OF attention
in England. The report Of the Rail-
way Mission (of which the Earl OF
Aberdeen is president) for the year
ending April 80 says there are So
branches in London, 1856 in the PROV
inc,ss, y in Wales, 81 in Scotland and
10 in Ireland, making 264 in all, OF
which "a have been formed during the
year.
As to the value OF the work per-
formed in India by the first Protestant
missi onaries Carey, Ward and Marsh
mana native Hindu paper says:
. They created a prose vernacular lit
erature for Bengal, they established
the modern method of popular educa-
ton, they gave the first grand impulse
to the native press, they set up the
first steam engine in India, and in ten
years they translated and printed the
Bible, or parts thereof, in thirty lone
Languages.
Il New York is said to be one OF the
strongest. Catholic cities in the world.
It has IS parish churches, 40 chapels,
