Autuuuss Mtrtb

sTis all myth that Autumn grieves,
for. watch the rain amid the leaves;
With silver fingers dimly seen
IL makes each leaf q tambourfne,
And swings and leaps with elfin mirth
To kiss the brow OF mother earth,
Or, laughing mid the trembling grass.
II mods a greeting as you pass.
OH hear the rain amid the leaves
lis all q myth that Autumn grievesl
sTis all a myth that Autumn grieyes.
For, list the wind among the sheaves;
Far sweeter than the breath OF May,
Or storied scents Of old Cathay,
Ut blends the perfumes rare and good
OF spicy pine and hickory wood,
And with voice as gay as rhyme,
IL prates OF riiied mint and thyme.
Oh! scent the wind among the shesves-
lis all q myth that Autumn grieves.
Tis all q myth that Autumn grisves,
Behold the wondrous work she weayesI
By vieuless hands her thread is spun
or evening vapors shyiy won.
Across the grass from side to side
A myriad unseen sbuttles glide
Throughout the night, till on the height.
Aurora leads the laggard light.
Behold the woDdrous web she weayes-
lis all myth that Autumn grisvesl

Lincoln's Tact.

In 1864 President Lincoln was greatly
bothered by the well-meant but ill
advised efforts of certain good northern
men to bring about a termination of
the war. An old gentleman from Mas
sachusetts very bland and entirely bald,
was especially persistent and trouble
some. Again and again he appeared
before the president, and was got rid of
by one and another Ingenious expedi-
ent. One day, when this angel of mer-
cy had been boring Mr.. Lincoln for half
an hour. to the interruption of impor-
tant business, the president suddenly
rose, went to closet. and took out Of
it a large bottle. did you ever try
this remedy for baldness?" he asked,
holding up the bottle before his aston
ished visitor. No; the man was obliged
to confess that he never had tried it.
Mr.. Lincoln, called u servant. had the
bottle wrapped up, and handed it to
the bald philanthropist. ''There," said
he, ''go and rub some of that on your
head. Persevere. They say it will
male the hair grow. Come back in
about three months and report" And
almost before he knew it, the good man
was outside of the door with the pack
age under his arm.-San Francisco

good sash and flooring with every con-

IRON

The ancients believed that iron as a
metal had great secret powers, and
they drove nails into their walls as a
protection against pestilence. Part OF
this superstition has come down to-
our own day. AS for instance, hang
ing horse shoe over the door for
good luck. The best luck is that wise
and prudent foresight that foresees
contingency in advance and provides
against it. People who travel are
peculiarly liable to take cold. And
they should therefore in all cases pro-
vide themselves with bottle of Reid's
German Cough and Kidney Cure and
take it when they feel chilly or whes
they are exposed to sudden change
in temperature. They can do this in
perfect confidence. For this great
remedy contains no opiate nor any
thing deleterious in its compositions
and it can be taken any time without
fear of an over dose. Get it of any
dealer. Small size 25c, large ones Soc

United States army, and now employed
in the pension office at Washington,

ties, was captured three times, and es-
capped twice, and saw the inside of sew
en- confederate prisons.

He was siXty-two years old. He served
in the war in the Thirty-second Massa-

ton to the rank of colonel for Ineritor-
Gus services. In 1866 he was appointed
acknowledgement of Massachusetts on
Gov. Bullocli's staff, and held that
office for thirteen years. He was APP

A WAR STORY.
An Ofilccr's Good Deed Generously Re
warded.

In talking with Col. James f. Jones,
one of New YorlS's port wardens. ii
came out that he had been in the Unit
ed States army service during the late
war with the late Gen. Henry A Bar.
mum, about whom he told an incident
which came to his knowledge from the
general himself. Gen. Barnum was in
command of Il brigade under Gen. Fitz-
John Porter at the battle of Hanover
Court House. Among the prisoners
captured was confederate surgeon,
DR.. Deshay, who was mounted upon a
magnificent white horse. 1t was the
custom of war not to hold surgeons us
prisoners, and DIR. Deshay was brought
before Gen. Barnum for Disposition
The soldiers meanwhile had taken his
horse from him and an excited sergeant
was riding it back and forth within
plain view of the two men, about n mile
away. The animal was clearly being
abused, and when Gen. Barnum greeted
the surgeon with courtesy and inquired
what he might do for him, DIR. Deshay
replied, as he pointed to the animal he
had just been riding: THAT white
horse, which one of your soldiers is
abusing, was given To me by my WIFE,
whose pct the animal is. when l came
into the service. would rather lose an
arm than the horse" Gen Barnum
gave immediate orders for the restora-
tion of the horse to DR.. Deshay, and ON
closer acquaintance found him such
pleasant gentleman that he went with
him TO the outer lines of the army when
the doctor was permitted to go back in
to the confederate lines.
The sequel OF this story occurred III
Richmond. Gen. Barnum was wounded
and captured ut the battle of Malvern
Hill The wound which he received at
this time was from bullet which passed
entirely through his body, and did not
heal to the day of his death, but ie-
quired rubber seton for its constant
drainage. Owing to his official ra.ik,
which was shown by his uniform, Gen.
Barnum, in spite of his desperate
wound, had been taken to Richmond as
prisoner He lay on a cot which was

pulley in the floor, which falls down
after you entcr the room This room
slants with the slanting of the roof,
having no boarding to cover up the
rough framework, and it is really un-
necessary. The loft is supplied with
one window (W) in the front and an
aviarv with glass window above the
entrance where the pigeons go in aud

An entrance by means of stepping

nesting box. The roosts (R) are at thu
end of the room and each roost is fat,
not round. Pigeons, my reader, do not
like round support; fat perch or
board suits them best; they are fiat
footed birds. The feeding square (F)
is II boN-shaped inclosure where the
feed is thrown tothcm, unless IL hopper
is used for this purpose. Some prefer
the hopper. 1t is convenient--yes,
most too convenient at times when
the mice and rats come, as they some
times do, hence ! usually throw the
grain to them twice Il day, giving them
enough, perhaps little more than
they will eat up clean, to he sure they do
not suffer any hunger between times.

There should be as much neatness

which n farmer erects on his farm as
possible, and IL does not always mean
additional expense TO do so. 1t can be
kept within limit when you need to
look at the item of expense first before
you act. Very often this point is car
ried too far and with more or less igno-
rance on the part of the farmer as to
what he must expend. Economy in
building can be overdone and the point
sought entirely overreached. Instead
of its being less, the poor material put
into the building in few years falls to
pieces and repairing is the only way to
keep the fiimsy structure from falling
apart. You perhaps have had just
such an experience. One experience

THE HOME GUARD.
Target Companies Which Were All the
Rage Before the War.


Rage Before the War.
was much amused while reading an
account of the capture of a federal cap
thin by some confederates during the
late war. The confederate captain
asked his federal prisoner to hand over
his boots and most of his money, and
gave as a reason that the federal officer
would soon be turned over to the con-
federate home guards, to be taken to
one of the noted southern prisons, and
that better arrangement could be
made with his captors than with the
home guards, for they would go 'clar
into the marrer."
During the war there was a feeling
bordering on contempt for the home
guard. Prior to the breaking out of
the ''unpleasantness," targetcompanies
were all the rage; but after the war
commenced playing soldier was looked
upon as an occupation only fit for boys
to indulge in. A body of bold soldier
boys, followed by u colored man carry
ing a target, with one or more to assist
in carrying pail of water, was the
cause of all kinds of queer remarks.
And the home guards soon became a
thing of the past.
About the only thing missed when
the home guards ceased to be was the
fault finding against generals and the
boys at the front, in which the mem
hers OF these organizations had so much
delighted to indulge. The opinion of
a Mr. Carmeyer was that that "they
should be all arrested for wearing SOL
dier clothes and not having the courage
to enlist. &c. R. Scott, in n. Y. Wit
