oUR WEATHER.

The first six months of 1891 passes into
history, and the chronicles of these months
show in an unusual manner the precarious
character of horticulture, in some Of its
branches at least, as pursued in this coun-
try. The past year and, no far, the present
one, form an eventfnl and trying term for
this industry. Farm, garden and orchard
crops lAst year had hard struggle with
weather conditions. insects and fungus dis
eases, and with courageous hearts the work
Vas taken up this season, with the hope of
more propitious skies hope which, it
seems, is not TO be realized. IF we look
abroad, we find that in some parts of
Europe the ineiemency of the weather is
equally as great as with US, and that
farmers and gardeners there are engaged
in as great struggle as are ours; and. no
doubt, if we were in wide correspondence
en- ibis particular subject, we should find
that, with minor exceptions, tie weather
conditions of the whole globe are at the
present time unfavorable to horticultural
interests. The meteorological conditions
Of the earth dependent upon and governed
By the central force of its system, the san.
feels and responds to every change that
occurs in that source of light, heat, elee-
tricity. vitality. Accurate observations
made from day to day by different observ-
ers, show that at the present time the sun
is undergoing great and rapid changes,
and that 10 these changes are due the great
Quotations of the weather on our planet.
In word, then, this is tho explanation of
the extremes Of temperature and humidity
which we are now experiencing. With
super fetal view some suppose that the un-
favorable weather is due TO the deforesting
of our lands; bnt, great as is this modifying
agency, Il cannot be shown to be the factor
in tho worldwide climatic disturbances.
TIE seasons of great solar activity are peri
odical, but the periods are variable, and
cannot be stated with precision-the time
for one great season of solar disturbance to
another may be less than eight and more
than fourteen years; in the intervals We
have our best agricultural seasons.-I Ifeks

Yes, it is welll The evening shadows lengthen;
Homes golden gate shines on our ravished
sight;
And though the tender ties we try to strengthen
Break one By one-at evening time it's light.
'Tis WE'LL The way was often dull and weary;
The spirit tainted oft beneath its load;
No sunshine came from skies ali gray and
dreary,
And yet our feet were bound TO tread that
road
'Tis well that not again our hearts shall shiyer
Beneath old sorrows once so hard to bear;
That not again beside deaths Garksome river
Shall we deplore the good, the loved, the fair
No more, with tears wrought from deep inner
anguish.
Shall we bewail the dear hopes crushed and
gone,
No more need we in doubt OF fear TO languish,
So far the day is past, the journey done.
As voyagers, By fierce winds beat and broken.
Come into port beneath the callner sky;
So we, still bearing on our brows the token
OF tempest past, draw 10 our haven nigh.
AS sweeter air comes froni the shores immortal,
Inviting homeward at the days decline.
Almost we see where from the open portal
Fair forms stand beckonins with their smiles
divine.
Tis WE'LL The earth. with all her myriad
voices,
Has lost the power our senses to enthralL
We hear, above the tumult ana the noises.
Soft tones Of music. like an angels call.
Tis we'll, o friendsl We should not turn-re-

The long, vain years, nor call our lost youth
back;
We leave behind the dusty. feotworn track.

cooperation ofeducators and the good will
Of the people

University Extension work, which was
SO successful in Philadelphia and its vicfn-
ity last year, is attracting widespread at
tention across the country. The American
Society is busily engaged in assisting tie
formation of branch societies from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
1t is also preparing vigorously to push
the work IN every part of Pennsylvania
and New jersey during the coming year.
The problems attendant upon the organi-
cation OF the work in the smaller tow ms
are quite different from those encountered
in large city The expense must be kept
minimum, and it has been found that
this can be most successfully done by or
ganizing what are known as circuits,
whereby the lecturer can go from town to
town, lccturing each night in the week.
Upon proper grouping of centres, so as
to form series of towns easily accessible
by railroad and not too far removed from
each other, largely depends tie success OF
the work in the country towns. 1t will
thus be seen that the possibility of organ
izing a.circuit does net depend upon the
proximity of towns, but upon the railroad
connections between tIem.
To take concrete instance of the way
in which these methods of organization
are worked, suppose that Woodstown
should want course of six lectures on
English literature. They would only need
the lecturer one night each week, as the
lectures are week apart It would be
impossible for the lecturer to return to hi:
home after each le,ture. They could not
afford to pay him 500 week, so mum
Der of the neigbboring towns are grouped
into what is called circuii, and the ex.
pense is divided among them. Thereby
the advantages of the work are open to a
greater number of places. 1t will be seen
that it is essential for all the centres in the
same circuit TO agree upon common
lecturer.
Tbs is the method that has been pur-
sued in England for a number Of years.
and with increasing success. The larger
cities could, undoubtedly, support several
centres, as is the case with Philadelphia.
1t " i'll thus be seen that in securing the
work at a minimum cost the given towns
in circuit must be willing to act together
and harmonize their interests, so as to
agree upon common lecturer.
Applications for the formation of local
centres or for circulars, or further infor-
nation, should be sent to the general Sec
retary of the American Society, George

The Sweetest Things of Earth.

Ihe SWeetest inInSs OF EARN.
What are the sweetest things of earth?
Lips that can praise a rivals worth:
A fragrant rose that hides no thorn;
Riches of gold untouched by seorn.
A happy little child asleep;
Eyes that can smile though they may weep
a brothers cheer. a fathers praise;
The minstrelsy of summer days.
A heart where anger never burns:
A gift that looks for no returns,
Wrongs overthrow; pains swift release;
Dark footsteps guided into peace.
The light of love in lovers eyes:
Age that is young as well rs wise,
An honest hand that needs no ward:
A life withright in true accord.
A hope bud waxing into JOY;
A happiness without alloy:
A mothers kiss; baby's mirth-
These are the sweetest things of earth.

Wall, no! l can't tell whar he lives.
Because he don't live, you see;
Leastways. he's got out Of the habit
OF livin like you and me.
Whar have you been for the last three year
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks
The night of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint them engineers
Is all pretty much alike
One wife in Natchez- under-theH Hill
And another one here. in Pike;
A keerless man in his talk was Jim.
And an awkward hand in row,
But he never lunked. and he never lied
reckon he never knowed how
And this was all the religion he had
To treat his engine well:
Never be passed on the river
To mind the pilots bell,
And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire
A thousand times he swore,
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
TIL the last soai got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Mississip.
And her day came at last
The Movastar was better boat,
But the Belle She ipoiddIl't be passed
And SO she come tearin along that night
The oldest craft on the line
With a Niger squat on her safety valve,
and her furnace crammed, rosin and
pine.
The fire bust out as She ciared the bar.
And burnt a hole in the night,
And quick as flash she turned, and made
For that willer bank on tie right.
There was runnin and eursin. but Jim
yelled out,
Over all the internal roar.
"I'll hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoot's ashore
Through the hot, black breath of the burnin
boat
Jim Bludso's voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his cussedness,
And knowed he would keep bis word.
And, sure,s you're born, they all got of
Afore the smokestacks fell
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.
He weren't no saint but at Judgment
I'd run my chance with jim,
Iongside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with him.
He seen his duty. a dead sure thing
And went for it thar and then;
And Christ amt a-going to be too hard
On a man that died for men.
