right to do so--it can at least say that

THE DESERTED VILLAGE,

Reflections of u DosOlate Man on the Lone-
~ Street Of an Ohio Town.
"Gone!'
The word came with deep groan from
the lips of the desolate man who stood on
the lonely street and looked about him.
The beams of the setting sun shone with
yellow glow on a peaceful village nest
ling in lovely PLAIN. The modest spires Of
the churches glittered in an atmosphere
free from smoke, and not sound came to
the ear of the solitary man, whose brain
was throbbing and whose heart was burst
ing with a sense of his strange and un.
earthly isolation.
'Under sky of unsurpassed beauty"
he exclaimed, Tin a land where even win:
ter in its most savage mood breathes mild:
ly, in the favored garden spot of great
State, amid fertile valleys and vine-clad
hillsides whose vegetation is already leaping
into life in response to the creative energy
OF the vernal sunshine, can it be possible
thatl have lived to sec such scene as this az
be paused moment to kick o Wandering
and lonesome-looking dog that was smiling
about him in an abjectly inquisitive and
apologize manner, and again his voice
rang plaintively out amid tho weird soil,
tude:
"Where are they all! Where are nv
friends, my neighbors, the companions Of
my youth? What mysterious calamity has
swept over this once happy place as with
the Bosom of-you here again, you miserable
hound! Get out!'
He drew his hand tremblingly across his
pallid brow, and once more his voice smote
the air:
''They are not herel They are gonei
Great snakes! OF course they're gone
Where are We, friends Of my childhood. O
familiar faces that filled the horizon Of
hope in my maturer years and framed the
radiant vision that my ambition bodied
forth, where the Dickens and Tom Walker
doyou hang out now?''
With these words he took fresh chew Of
tobacco, pulled his hat down over his eyes,
gave one farewell glance up and down the
deserted and voiceless street, turned his
back on the home of his childhood, and de.
parted forever.
He was the only human being in that
beautiful Southern Ohio town that had not
gone to Washington with a petition for al

FARM AND HousEHoLp.

Agriculture is the life blood OF the
Nation; impoverish this and the whole
body becomes weak and nerveless; en-.
rich the current and the whole body is
strengthened.
The farmer who persists in work
Ing day after day from four o'clock in
the morning until seven or eight at
night. and expects his boys and hired
men to do the same, is not doing
justice to himself. to his hired labor
ers or to his Creator.
The Southern Cultivator expresses
the opinion that it is not best to turn
| under green crop or turn over the
SOIL at all in midsummer, unless the
land can be sOwn at once with a crop
that will promptly cover the surface
again with vegetation. .-@g
-One instance of the evil influence
OF habit is the persistency with which
some farmers keep up the custom of
killing their hogs at particular time
OF the year. Fresh pork is wanted in
large markets all the time, and it is
often the case that the farmer loses
more than the price of the food by
Keeping hog three months to wait
for killing time.
Salmon Patties.-Cut cold cooked
salmon into dice. Heat about pint
OF the dice in half pint of cream or
flollandaise sauce. Season to taste
with Cayenne pepper and salt. Fill
the shells and serve. Cold cooked fish
OF any kind may be made into patties
in this way. Use any fish sauce you
may choose; all are equally good.
There are several matters to be
considered in sowing the seeds of root
crops. The seed must be brought in
close contact with the moist earth,
either by rolling or treading in with
the feet, and it must be in such guam
tity that its swelling and termination
will force away the soil and allow the
little plant to come to the light and
air. Hence of all such seeds we SOW
many times more than should be al
lowed to grow, but they are given Wig

Self Freezing fee Cream
quarts of rich milk, four eggs, whites
and yelks beat in separately, three
cups of sugar, one pint of rich cream,
four teaspoonfuls of any aavoring de-
sired. Heat the milk almost to boil
ing. beat the yelks to a stiff froth,
add the sugar and stir it thoroughly,
then add the whites, which have been

The hog wallows in mud and en-
cases himself in shining armor,
which sutfocates his backbiters. When
it dries the mud and the cause of his
misery falls off. Horses seem to un-
derstard that dust is death to their
creeping foes, so they roll where they
can find dry earth. Hens free them
selves from parasites by the dust bath.
And cows-who has not seen them
throw dirt over themselves? They,
too. want the earth, so we might take
the hint and store away road dust or
dry earth for winter use in keeping
our stock free from the tormentors.

hard heart has been we'll known for years;

with reference to the connection of
General Washington with the land
business.
In copy of q Baltimore paper pub
lished in April, 1873. appears an adj
vertisement of George Washington.
dated at Mount Vernon. In this ad-
vertisement he offers twenty thousand
acres of land in Virginia on the Ohio
be subdivided to suit purchasers and
sold on very easy payments. PurchAs-
ers need not pay any thing down if
they will clear up and fence five acres
out of every hundred and plant fifty
fruit trees thereon. If this clearing,
planting and improving were kept up
the rental need not commence for four
years after occupancy. The payments
were called 'rental'' so as not to give
settlers claim to the property till it
was paid for. The advertisement is a
strong and ingenious one in all re-
spects, and the country is described
with a picturesqueness that the best
land boomer of to-day would find it
hard to excel. Mr.. Lund Washington
was the agent in charge. Things
opened up in great shape, but the
commencement of hostilities with
Great Britain three years afterward
caused a serious setback. After the
war General Washington was under
stood to be engaged in numerous large
land enterprises in Western Virginia.
In one of these he had associated with
him Mr.. Fitz Patrick. of Philadelphia,
the wealthy hrother-in-law of Rob ert

remunerative to its projectors. Many
of the holdings in West Virginia to-
day are traced back to the WashinR>
