Miss Ticknor,s Literary worls.

Miss Caroline TiclSnor, daughter of
the Boston publisher. appears to be the
most interesting of the rising literary
work in the east, Her work has dis
tinct individuality and is marked by
great delicacy, which an exuberant
fancy serves to strengthen. The short
stories which have already come nom
the pen Of this evidently gifted girl are
so promising in their originality and
brightness that the critics are beginning
to bespealS great future for her. Hav-
ing given up all hope Of ever finding
novelist among the American men of
this time, it is sensible perhaps to turn
our expectant eyes in the direction OF
the women. So far Elizabeth Stoddard
comes nearer filling the bill than any
body else we can think of.-Chicago

ApopIery 10 swine.

Apoplcxy is usually disease Of fat
hogs, although an animal that has long
been thin or suffering from excessive
irritation OF the intestinal canal would
also DO predisposed 10 IT, II must be
understood that the process Of fatten-
ing an animal In few weeks destroys
the equilibrium Of the system. and in
ono sense tho fairness Is in itself dis
case. The storing up Of fat in the ami
NAL economy Is always at the expense

blood-vesscls OF the system are sur
rounded by strong, tough. muscular
coat that in state OF perfect health
will resist any force that The hearts

the fattening process weakens these

cleanse the soil even of annual weeds;
but the work is now done with broad
cast cultivation, If thoroughly pre-
formed, in the following manner: First,
and before the crop is planted, plo W
and harrow thoroughly as much as may
be required; then plant, and before the
crop has come up give the ground a
thorough mellowing with the smooth
ing harrow over the whole surface.
This breaks and destroys all the small
sprouting weeds before they can come
up, without injuring the larger and
more deeply set strong plants Of the
crop. This course is particularly sue
cessful with any Of the grass-like plants,
such as corn, wheat or sorghum, the
teeth slipping over the thread-like
leaves. The narrowing being repeated
every few-days, or as often as may be
necessary to destroy all the coming
weeds before they are half an inch
high, sweeping over the whole surface,
corn and all, keeps the whole field
clean with ease. II the weeds are
carelessly allowed to get two or three
inches high, the whole operation will
be a failure. The larger the plants be-
come, the less is the danger Of tearing
them out but the loss of few is over
balanced by the benefit. In this way,
the practical advantages Of the sum
mer fallow are obtained while the croT
occupies the land. But with such per
ennials as Canada thistles and quach
grass, this treatment will not answer
but summer fallow in its fullest extern
must be thoroughly resorted to, by
preventing the growth of single lea

Her Smile His Sunlight.

Sweetheart, when rhymes / make
For your dear sake,
You bring
Into your face smile,
To cheer me while
sing.
Like to that bird am I,
Which, when the sky
At night
A deeper azure grows,
No longer knows
Delight;
Or like of flowers that one
Which loves the sun
And gives
The beauty Of its bloom
To him for whom
II lives.
Pleasure nor joy to bless
Have l uless
Your face
Over my paper shines
And lights the lines
with grace
For me your smile is day
The golden ray
That climbs
Imagination's wall
And sweetens all
My rhymes.
For you tho Birds song, this
The flowers fresh kiss
And breath;
Nor may their nightfall come
TIL both are dumb
In death.

rhe prince of Wales as u Speaker

lPicayune.I
Despite the privileges and l'bsrties
attached to the position Of heir to y
throne, it seems also t, be surrounded
with cares and responsibilities, and re-
auires degrees of self restraint and tact
That are rather difficult Of attainment.
There has been published IT, England

speeches Of IN. Prince of Wales, which ,
according to English newspapers crit.
ic., place tina! yen,iema an . abilities ID q
more enviable light than we of this
country have been accustomed to con-
slider them.
For u number of years past the Prince
has had TO bear the chief part of the
burden of one Of the important public
duties of n monarch. lie has, on nsa' :
~ all public occasions, represented It.
Queen, his mother, in the formal Int r
course with her subjects that the CTS
toms Of constitutional monarchy lo.
quire.
In d,hug this tile Prince has h,lf led
q most delicate task, as by his utter
anceso on: these occasions the people have
been given an opportunity of gauging
the character OF their future ruler. He
has also had forced upon him In this
WAY the M cessIty of maintaining
central position between the various
political parties. In all of these trying
circumstances ii must be admitted that
the Prince has proved a success. In re-
viewing the volume of the Princes
speeches the Manchester Guardian, a
well-known English Journal, says edi-
torially:
The variety of topics is not more remark
able than the uniform Judgment and good
speaks clearly to the point and with good
taste. He has the urbanity Of Lord Gran
willie combined with q dignity OF his own:
He does not pose AS leader OfthOuEht, but

timents that IRE appropriate TO the occa-
sion. This is gift which may easily be
underrnt0d. 1t is impossible without con-
siderable receptivity and versatility OF
shown stronger qualities than these. Tho
speech on the English graves IN the Crimea,
and that which began the foundation OF the
Imperial Institute. reveal q character that
deserves the attention of the speakers fu-
turo subjects. Perhaps, however, the most
difficult achievement of the Prince is to be
found in tho success with which he has
avoided, not only in his speecles but
such marked sympathy with any political
party as might embarrass his future rela-
lions With any of the various GLASSES of men
who owe their allegiance to the Queen.
