GOLDEN PLUMED TASSEL OF CORN

An emblem, they tell u.s. this country should seek
From its posies that nod to the sun
blossom, whose home ranges widely to speak
For nation of many in one
Now let suggest here a plant growing wide
Waving welcome to freedoms first morn,
And sacred. our own. as the flag of our pride,
Tis the golden plumed tasseI Of corn
For purest of daisies the many have plead
And still more for the gay golden rod
Some for the sunf1ower that waves MS grand heao
High above all that bloom er the sod;
But here is plant that is Yankee all thro
And was Yankee ere YANKEE was torn
Ere Freedom had hoisted the banner of blue
'Bove the golden plumed tasseI OF corn
From the home of the oag 20 the palmetto q
shade,
From her center way down to each sea;
From mountain to mead. and thro' green glen
and glade,
1t waves DER the land of the free
Should heel of invader that free soil poIlute,
And her proud banner trample with scorn.
Yet will the broad earth, in defiant salute.
Wave her golden plurned tassel of corn.
Let Great Britain boast of her roses perfume
And France of pure lily so fair;
While Scotland may weave from her thstle's red
bloom
A grand garland to Irvine In her hair
But for proud motto, to stand all alone.
And the cap-stone of freedom adorn
We place there above all the posies we own
The golden pluned tassel of corn

Education.

A Detroit father has undertaken little
educational venture with his own chill
dren, and he is trying to make them give
up slang. the use of ambiguous terms OF
speech and other peculiarities affected
by the youth of the day Yesterday he
asked his l4-year-old daughter where a
certain book was
Il haven't an idea. papa!" answered
the young lady
II didn't ask you for IDEAS" said the
father sternly; "just answer my question
Where is that book?
"On the top shelf in the book case" re
cited the girl like parrot.
''Can you reach it?'
Yes, sir"
There was long silence. the father
waiting impatiently for the book. At last
he asked:
Nell. why don't you bring it3'
Bring what. sir?''
THE book wanted"
"You did not say you wanted me to
get it," said the daughter in demure
voice: you asked me if could reacl,
it."
Nellie" said the father, as smile
made his mustache tremble. "get that
book like good girl and bring it here to
me.
Now, you're talking sense, pop; I'll
have the book in a jiffy," and she whisked
off after it. while the father sighed over
the degeneracy of the times.-Detroil

TO AN OLD BALL SLIPPER.

q little shoe. so worn and frayed,
With heel forlorn and bow decayed,
How changed since granny first displayed
Your pristine glory!
You poor, bedraggled No. 8,
You are alive at least to me;
Whilst lying there seem to see
Your simple story.
Bedight in raiment white and pure
Your mistress tripped, Of conquest sure;
For damsels who look most demure
Are not uncanny.
P'raps grandpa came in garments smart
Vast triumphs of sartorial art
With valorous words, yet trembling heart
To WOO our granny
Those were the days when wife and maid
Ingenious towers of hair displayed
When single lorgnettes strove to aid
Defective vision;
When beaus wore kerchieves girt with straps
Ingenious coats with many flaps
And waistcoats which would now, perhaps,
Excite deriSion
Waists low, waists high, coats black or green
Things now are as they've always been
Since first our own most gracious queen
The throne assembled.
Around thee lies full many a token
That shows the specious word was spoken,
And hearts irreparably broken
That quickly mended.
Partners, perchance, were much the same
Some bright, some dull, some fast, some tame
Some who to spurious wit laid claim,
Nor saw their error;
The men whose charms were scarcely mental,
The youth both shy and sentimental,
The Fascinating detrimental,
Great-grandma's terror
And did the chaperons then as now
Ecstatic happiness avow
Whilst watching with an aching brow,
The fitting dancers?
And did they, gripped in Fashions wise.
Receive girl with looks of ice
If she sat out with some one nice
Convenient lancers?
But tiny friend, now must flee
A set of tennis waits for me
For, rapt in pleasant reverie,
The moments fly by;
The hour has come to say adieu;
make my courtesy to you:
Now, dear pathetic little shoe,
Go back to 'byebye.

THE ARREST.

THE ARREST.
For one moment the two men glared
fercely at each other.
Austin Wentword was too terribly
shocked to realize his position, or the full
meaning Of the words uttered by Captain
Starbright He even allowed the Captain
to take the pistol from his hands, when he
bent and lifted poor Grace in his arms and
moved toward the house
There was CONSERVATION among the
servants when the young mechanic en-.
tered the house with his bleeding burden.
Mrs. Penroy met him and screamed with
fright, and tainted on seeing the blood
To Mrs. Penroy's room the young man
made his way, and placed Grace on the
luxurious bed. Then, with pallid face and
trembling fingers, he examined the wound
in the head of his betrothed. He was un.
able to ascertain the full extent of the
wound, but believed it fatal. Captain Star
bright at once dispatched a messenger for
a physician, the nearest one being at Stone
field, ten miles away. With this messenger
he sent note which the man promised tc
deliver to the county sheriff.
Soon after the accident q visitor was an

Wentword met him with a groan as be

he told the youth of what had noe,,-rea

How to Keep Warm.
1t may not be generally known that
when exposed to severe cold feeling of
warmth is readily created by repeatedly
filling the lungs to their utmost extent
in the following manner: Throw the
shoulders well back and hold the head
well up. Initiate the lungs slowly, the
air entering entirely through the nose.
When the lungs are completely filled
hold the breath for ten seconds or longer
and then expire it quickly through the
mouth. After repeating the exercise
while one is chilly, a feeling of warmth
will be felt over the entire body, and
even in the feet and hands. 1t is inn
portant to practice this exercise many
times each day, and especially when in
the open air. If the habit ever becomes
other diseases will rarely, if ever, be
heard of. Not only while practicing the
breathing exercise must the clothing be
loose over the chest, but beginners will
do well to remember in having their
clothing fitted to allow for the perma-
nent expansion of one, two and even
, three inches. which will follow.-North-
The Pyrophone.
A musical gas machine is an English
invention, and it is called the pyro-
phone. Its compass is three octavesy
with keyboard, and it will be played
in the same manner as an organ. It
has thirty-seven glass tubes. in which
like number of gas jets burn. These
jets, placed in circle, contract and
expand When the small burners
separate, the sound is produced; when
they close together, the sound ceases.
The tone depends upon the number of
burners, and the size of the tubes in
which they burn, SO that by-a careful
arrangement and selection all the notes
of the musical scale may be produced
in several octaves. Some of the glass
tubes in which the jets burn are nearly
eleven feet long.-New York Tele-

DEATH OF JOSEPH BEULINGER.

On our return home we were
shocked to learn of the sudden and
sad death of Mr.. Joseph Belllnger. 1t
appears that he had been drinking
pretty hard and lost his position as
head clerk and salesman in Mrs. John
Hamm's 5 store after which he drank
very heavily. He went to Milwaukee
and shortly after his return he was
taken with delirium treSnens from
which he never recovered. He died
Thursday evening at 10 O'Clock p. m.,
August 9TH 1890.
With the exception OF this fault
Joseph Bellinger was one of the most
obliging and courteous young men. He
was faithful to his duties and had
almost entire control of Mrs. Hamm's s
business for several years. His sad
ending is regretted by all his friends.
He was born in Germany and was in his
18th year. He carried $4,000 life insuri
ance He leaves father and mother
in Germany and an aunt and cousin
who reside at Appleton, Wis.
The funeral services took place
Saturday at the Catholic Church, Rev
BeYerle officiating.

Reading of minutes were dispersed
with they having been fully printed
Presidents Address. Statistics OF
crop in sight footing total of 46.300
barrels, were read. Also letters
showing light crop at Cape Cod and
an average crop in New Jersey. Wages
were agreed upon as follows: Sl0O to
81 % and board for Rakers; Scots per
bushel for hand picking. Owing to
shortage in the fruit crop throughout
the e. S. it was taken as the sense of
the meeting that good keeper, well
handled berry should sell for at least
$500 per barrel.
Professor E. S. Golf, of the State
University, was present and enlightened
the Growers upon several points of
great interest. A visit to Messrs Wyatt
4 Purdy's marsh was interfered with
by the rain and the entire afternoon
spent in discussion of various subjects.
A vote of thanks to Prof. Golf, was
rendered. Also to Mr.. Mills for his

Fortunately the rebels had no guns
except pistols, cutlasses and spikes; and
