IN MEMORIAM,
NORTHWESTERN CHURCH.

Gone, in her childish purity.
Out from the golden dav:
Fading away in the light 30 sweet
Where the silver stars and the sunbeams meet.
Paving way for her waxen feet
Over the silent way
Over the bosom tenderly,
The pearl white hands are pressed.
The lashes lie on the cheeks 50 thin
Where the sOftest blush of the rose hath been.
Shutting the blue OF her ewes within
The pure lids closed at rest
Over the sweet brow lovingly
TwIneth her sunny hair:
She was so frail that love sent down
From his heavenly gems that soft, bright crown,
To shade her brow with its waves so brown,
Light as the dipping air.
Gone to sleep with the tender smile
Froze on her silent lips.
BY the farewell kiss OF her dewy breath
Cold in the clasp of the angel death,
Like the last fair bud of faded wreath
Whose bloom the white frost nips.
Rosebud under your shady leaf,
Hid from the sunny day,
Do you miss the glance of the eyes so bright,
Whose blue was heaven in your timid sight:
1t : beaming now IN the world of light
Over the starry way.
Hearts whore the darling's head hath lain,
Held by loves shining ray
Do yOu know that the touch of her gentle hand
Doth brighten the harp in the unknown land?
., she waits for US with the angel band
Over the starry Way

For the REcoRD-UNIoN.
AUTUMN.

The autumn leaves, all brown and sere,
Lie crushed beneath our tread
The flowers that bloomed in summer time
Are withered now and dead.
The chilly winds, whose low, sad wall,
Falls on the listening ear
The dead leaves rustling on the ground
Proclaim the autumn here.
The robin that so sweetly sang,
In summer days now gone,
Has taken fight, where in fairer climes
He MARBLES forth his song;
The leaflets on the maple boughs,
Are touched with golden sheen
The sumach's fruit is red where once
1t hung in clusters green.
l wait and watch in weary way,
For the autumn of life 10 come,
Like autumn winds it vii, bring decay,
When the summer OF life is done;
The hoary frost and winter snow
VIII follow the autumn blast
That has chilled the vigor of mGnhood's years
And blight on age has cast.
watch and wait fer day that must come,
When l shall hear the Masters call
That shall summon me hence TO that land of
rest
To that heavenly. home for all;
And muse with tears on the feeting years,
That have brought decay in their train,
While the autumn winds sigh mournful diIge-
sorrowful, sad refrain.

known as peach yellows. When taken
early enough this disease has been cured
by heavy applications of German potash
salts.
It may surprise some farmers to be IN
formed that a sheep can be made to reach
a live weight of over 400 ounds, yet such
is the fact. As high as AS pounds has
been reached by an Oxford ram, and 800
pounds is not considered unusual as an
average for some choice focks. Yet our
sheep that reach the markets seldom
weigh over 125 pounds.
The most experienced farmers and d.
rectors of the agricultural colleges are
unanimous in the decision that shallow
cultivation of corn during dry spell is
the best safeguard against drought. Deep
cultivation breaks the roots and confers no
benefit but shallow cultivation keeps the
top soil loose and provides mulch which
retains the moisture of the soil.
There is no reason why the barnyard
should be filthy. The farmer who aims to
convert all waste into manure will have a
clean barnyard, for he cannot afford to
allow the liquids to be wasted, or wait for
the cattle to trample the absorbents that
can more easily be decomposed in the
manure heap. All material for the beds,
or to be used as absorbents, should first be
cut up or reduced in some manner.
Many are the sneers at the razor-back
hog, but he stands high among those who
prefer choice pork of gamy flavor. In
the sections where the razor-back is bred
the claim is made that the meat is all
lean and is also tender, while freedom
from cholera and other swine diseases rem
ders the meat of such hogs more whole
some than that from the pampered breeds.
All animals seem to have their uses.
Two acres is more than one man can
properly cultivate in the crops that pay
best, yet there are many instances in which
one man cultivates forty acres or more. 1t
is possible for an individual to spread
manure on one or two acres, but he could
not do so on forty. The land that pays
| best is that upon which the manure can be
applied to the best advantage. 1t is a
waste of labor to attempt to cultivate more
land than can be cultivated well.
The scales are as essential to success as
the plows or the mowers. To intelligently
feed animals they should go on the scales
| weekly, in order to determine the ratio of
gain in proportion to the amount of food
consumed. 1t will then be noticed that on
the same quantity and kind of food one
animal will gain more than another, and a
out scales all is conjecture, and the farmer
will find it difficult to arrive at a knowl-
edge of the profits derived from his sales.

WHERE SHE COMES.

With heavy elders overhung,
Half hid in clover masses,
An old fence rambles on, among
The tangled meadow grasses.
1t makes a shade for lady fern,
Which nestles close beside it;
While clematis, at every turn,
And roses almost hide it.
In shade of overhanging sprays
And down a sunny hollow,
By hazel eopse, and woodland ways,
The winding fence l follow;
By rose, and thorn and fragrant dew,
In search of something sweeter-
The orchard gap, where she comes through,
And 60 down 10 meet her
The sunlight slants across the fence,
Where lichens gray it over,
And stiis a hundred dreamy scents
From fern, and mint, and clover;
But though the air is sweet to day,
l know of something sweeter:
That she can only come this way,
And l am sure to meet her
And so, while ehlpmunks run match
To tell the wrens who's coming,
And all across the briar patch
There sounds drowsy humming-
The hum of honey-seeking bees
l seek for something sweeter:
A gap, amongst the apple trees,
Where | am going to meet her

Electric Wonders to Come.

All Europe is vastly interested Just now
in various electric problems. Both the
French and British Associations for the
Advancement of Science have been dis
cussing electrical problems with great
earnestness. NJ. Cornu, in his recent ad-
dress before the French Association, says
Everyone is asking enormous services of
electricity. The art of engineering ex-
poets that it will furnish the transforma-
ton and the universal distribution of
energy; medicine and surgery call for it in
difficult cases; physiology asks for it for
the secret of nervous transmission, which
is in such intimate analogy with the cleo
trlc current. In the domain of pure
theory great results are approaching.
Geometers who are the continuators of
Ampere, Poisson, Fourier, Ohm, Gauss,
Helmholz, Thompson, Maxwell, and have
helped so much in connecting electricity
with the laws of mechanics, are preparing,
says the Paris Temps, a great synthesis
which will mark an epoch in the history
of natural philosophy. They are very
near demonstrating that the electro-mag-
netic are subjected to the same elementary
laws as the optical phenomena that there
are two manifestations of motion in the
same element, ether; the problems OF
optics are solved by equations of electro
magnetism. From an experimental stand
point very promising results are already
obtained; the speed of light, fixed by OPP
teal methods, is measured also by purely
electrical measures. Scientists regard it
as even possible that the experimental
Identification of electrical discharges and
of luminous undulations of waves is an
accomplished fact.
The British Association, which met at
Leeds early in this month, has reviewed
the progress of electric lighting, and
brought out many interesting particulars.
Sir Frederick Abel, in brilliant address,
pointed out that while the United King
dom is confessedly behind the United
States in the lighting of towns and houses,
England may lay claim to the foremost
application of the electric light in many
instances This is especially true of the
lighting of large passenger ships and war
ships, and the electric light has become an
indispensable adjunct to the operations of
the British navy. The British system of
coast defense, by artillery and submarine
mines, is equally dependent to-day for its
thorough efficiency upon the applications
OF electricity in connection with range
finding, with the arrangement and ex-
plosion of mines, and with the electric
light as an important auxiliary in attack
and defense. The use of the light as a
lighthouse illuminant, for the lighting of
main roads in coal mines, and even for
signaling purposes in mid-air, through the
agency of captive balloons, is very extern
siye in Great Britain.-Boston Journal.

Roses cannot well be grown on lawns.

Wood ashes contain large proportion

Sweet corn is crop that pays every

One of the most beautiful ornamental

Brains on the farm are more valuable

something to learn.
If you have but little work to do be
vigilant at destroying weeds. No work is
so profitable as that of keeping down the
weeds and not allowing them to seed.
Potatoes contain $50 parts of nutriment
matter to the 1000 pounds. They are
given raw and sliced in cut feed, but they
are best boiled or steamed. 1t is best to
give them in mixed feed.
While one class of farmers is endeavor-
ing to produce very large hogs, another
class is aiming to produce smaller hog in
a shorter period of time. One class pro-
duces lard and the other choice pork.
One of the reasons why peaches do not
succeed on land long cultivated is lack OF
mineral plant food. The peach is usually
planted on light or sandy land that has at
best but very little mineral The seed
cannot form without potash, and lacking
this the peaches fall off soon after setting.
1t is believed by some that lack of potash
is the predisposing cause to the disease
