mayed among old manuscripts OF the British
museum until he found that hymn in ancient
'pelling parts OF which we have In mutilated
'orm in our modern hymn books hut the
luaint power OF which we do not get in our
modern versions,
Hlerusaem, my happie home
When shall come 10 thee
When shall my s0rrowes have an end
Thy Ioyea when shall sec?
Noe dampish mist ia scene in thee
Noe code nor darksome night
There eycrie sonle shines as the sumo
There God Himselfe gives light.
Thy walls arc made OF precious stones
my bnlwarkes diamondes square;
my gates are Of right orient pesrle.
bAeeedln, richie and rare,
Thy turreties and thy pinnacles
With carbunoes doe shine;
my yerrie streets are paved with gould,
SURPRISING clear and fine,
Thy houses are OF yvorie,
Thy windows crystal cleare;
Thy tyles are made OF beaten gould
o God that were there.
Our sweete is mkt with bitter gaule,
Our pleasure is but paine;
Our ioyes scarce last the lookeingo,
Our sorrows stllle Rename.
But there they live in such delight
Such pleasure and such play,
AS that to them thousand yeares
Doth semc as yesterday.
Thy gardens and thy gallant wakes
Continually are greene:
There grow such sweete and pleasant flowers
As no where else are scene.
There trees forevermore bear fruts
And evermore doe Syringe;

1t was the afternoon before Christmas

Uncle Bob came up with the rest to re-

Gle glasses shining in the level gas Jets.
"oh, by-the-way, Mr.. Bloom!" said
Mr.. Simeon Jay, the younger of the part
ners, OBTAINING with gesture the old
clerk, as he would have passed on to the
cashier.
"Now it's coming" thought Uncle
Bob, with a faint stir in his dull old heart
--"thc increase of salary that I've looked
for so long! They've waited until
Christmas to give the thing more signif-

He paused at the door of the private
Office, where there was such a flash of
plate glass, such polished CLEAN of old
oak and medieval brass ornamentation.
Old Mr.. Jay sat in front of blazing
cannel-coal fire, with an elegantly dressed
lady-client signing some papers at a
table.
Uncle Bob was near-sighted, specta-
cles to the contrary notwithstanding,
but he got general impression that the
lady-client was somebody very grand and
splendid

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
PRODUCTS OF WILD LAND.

Uncultivated land is not wholly unpro-
auctive. In some places people make more
ready money in an easier way by harvest
ing and selling wild berries than they can
by the poor farming methods they give
to their partly exhausted cultivated land,
Yet where wild berries are profitably
grown, cultivated berries of the same
varieties will be still more productive,
and pay even better Improperly managed,
A farmer ought to be ashamed to let ma
lures unassisted methods excel his best
efforts. Calt,rator.

The late Congressman 5. s. Cox's deep
interest in letter carriers is well remem-
bered, and they propose erecting hand
some monument over his grave. Each
carrier will be asked to subscribe 50 to-

STACKING STRAW.

If put up IN good shape 50 that it
Will keep, wheat or oat straw viii make
an excellent feed to use during the win
ter. While wheat cannot be med for
feeding it can be converted into good
quality of manure by using for bedding.
1t is too good a product to be thrown
away, as it is often done in burning. In
itself 1t may not contain a very large
amount of plant food, but it is a good
absorbant, and by using for bedding
much of the liquid voiding that would
otherwise go to waste is absorbed and in
this way can be applied to the land.
Mixed with clover and bran it makes
an excellent food for stock during the
winter. 1t is not by any means COM
plete food in itself, but fed in connection
with other materials good results may be
secured. But the quality must be good,
and the way it is stacked has much to do
with the quality.
1t can be stacked so that it will shed
water and keep in fully as good oondi-

commits makes one more defense for his
enemy.
The worst passions are occasionally OF
use to society; Jealousy has caused
thieves to fall out and tell on each other.
Sense shines with a double luster when
it is set in humility. An able and yet
humble man is jewel worth kingdom.
They who are most weary Of life, and
yet the most unwilling to die, are such
who have lived to no purpose; who have
rather breathed than lived.
There is nothing so elastic as the hui
man mind. Like imprisoned steam, the
more it is pressed the more it rises to re-
sist the pressure. The more We are
obliged to do, the more we are able to
accomplish.
Oaths arc vulgar, senseless, offensive
and impious; they leave a noisome trail
upon the lips and a stamp of odium upon
the soul. They are inexcusable. They
crafty no sense while they outrage taste
and dignity.
There is no contending with necessity,
and we should be very tender how we
censure those that submit to it. IT'S one
thing to be at liberty to do what We will,
and another thing to be tied up to do
what we must.
Good nature gives certain air to the
countenance which is more amiable than
beauty. 1t shows virtue in the fairest
light, takes off In some mcaure from the
deformity of vice, and makes even folly
and impertinence supportable.
One watch set right will do to set
many by, but on the other hand, one
that goes wrong may be the cause of mis-
leading whole ncighborhood; aud the
same may be said Of the example we in.
dividually set to some around us.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Too heavy loads make balky horses.
Gentle treatment makes gentle horses.
To much physic will make unsound
and unhealthy horses.
Dandelion as a market crop for green's
is becoming quite valuable.
Grain may now have top dressing Of
suitable manure or of commercial fertil-
izer.
II the straw was returned to wheat
land it would not become exhausted so
soon.
Have you good supply of cabbage,
turnips, potatoes and onions stored for
winter use2
See that the tops of the hay stacks are
all right, Half days work on them
now, may save tons of hay for next
spring.
He who makes the greatest success at
swine growing is the one who com
menced in small way and works 10
greater numbers as he learns to breed,
grow and feed.
Sunhower seed will be found useful
food for poultry, frightening up the
plumage and stimulating egg production.
Don't fail to plant little patch of it in
the garden next spring.
If you have winter grain on a side hill
from which the snow is likely to blow
off, thin covering of straw will not do
harm. Try "winter protection" for
wheat to see if it won't pay.
The Dorking is an excellent all
round fowl A fine dresser for table
purposes and beautiful bird in any way
you take it. 1t is an English breed and
considered among their best fowls.
Many farmers do not know what
surveyors mark on tree is, and some
times gets in trouble by cutting such trees,
as the law strictly forbids it. The mark
is "two slashes and three gashes" across
them.
When limb is cut from tree it
should be as close to the body as possible.
The cut should be smooth one, without
bruising the bark, and the cut surface
should be covered with some kind of
cheap paint mixed in oil.
If you expect those calves you are
raising to make good cows, you want to

susploIous pRoMlNENoE-

The friends Of Mr. Crosby claim
that Mr.. Russell Harrison will not escape
so easily from the consequences of the
suit Of 800, 900 as has been thought
They maintain that Mr. Harrisons record
in Montana in this particular matter and
in political matters generally will not
bear the close inspection and exposure Of
the courts.
1t is beyond doubt true that Mr.. Har-
rison has taken position which would
be difficult to explain on other grounds
than such as would make some disgrace
full exposures.
For instance, Mr., Harrison, young
man fun Of inexperience, came from the
West TO attend the Chicago convention.
At that convention, besides the bargains
with Blaine and Foraker there was the
more disreputable bargain by which
Banker Morton's subscription TO the Re
publican campaign fund made him the
candidate for Vice President. That was
arranged between Mr. Arkell and Mr.,
Morton, but Mr. Russell Harrison was a
party to it as agent.
Then there was his work on the com
mittee, and his arrangements TO make uT
the Cabinet and bargains with Platt and
Miller for the distribution Of the vast
patronage Of New York
Meantime without capital and without
previous experience he is in partner shir
with the rich Arkell in the publication Of
Judge and Frank Leslie
All Of these things seem TO point very
clearly to some hidden source Of power
It is well known that his relatives hav'
been appointed to excellent positions
under the administration. It is vel
known that he has strong pull OF
this administration. But It is only
suspicion that he is the "go between" fo
the administration aud those wh'
seek favor by disreputable means
The evidence however is cumulativ,
and It is said that Colonel Crosby ha
collected it so as to make some sensa
tional, if not disgraceful, development
in court. Meantime the relations be
tween Mr.. Harrison and Quay Dudley
Clarkson, Thurston, Wanamaker, Arkell
Platt and others Of the what are We
, here for class Of Republicans are not sue
as to disarm suspicion.

IT is a matter Of common and frequent
comment among newspapers how partic
ularly and superIatively anxious some
people are to preserve the public morals
by suppressing scandals The people
who manifest the keenest solicitude for
the public morals are usually those whose
bad morals are liable TO become
more generally known. An immoral
man occupying a high position often goes
TO great expense TO suppress the publi-
cation Of his crimes. II the newspaper
assists in this suppression it becomes
equally guilty with the public for con
doning the crime II the criminal be
rich and influential the newspaper rests
under the stigma Of having been unduly
influenced Meantime the crimes so on
unwhipt Of justice and the criminals
retain their high positions. II the papers
had not published the Flack case Of New
York, Mrs. Flack would have remained
forever under the condemnation Of a
bogus divorce and in poverty, while
Fiack and his paramour would have en-
ioyed position and fortune, Besides th'
Justice that the newspapers procure fol
the injured parties-a justice sometimes
impossible through the courts-the news
papers owe duty to the public in pro
tecting the public against frauds, i'm
posters and scoundrels.
