Northern and Southern dead"
BY the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fled,
Where the blades of the grave grass
culver,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Under the one, the Blue;
Under the other, the Gray.
Those in the robings of glory;
These in the gloom of defeat;
All with the battle-blOod CORY,
In the dusk or eternity meet.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day.
Under the laurel. the Blue;
Under the willow the Gray.
From the silence of sorrOwfut hours
The desolate mOurners go;
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe.
Under the sod an. the dew,
Waiting the jud gment day.
Under the roses, the Blue;
Under the lilies, the Gray.
No more shall the war-cry sever,
Nor the winding river be red;
They banisli our anger forever,
When they laurel the graves Of ou
dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
| Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.

CHAPTER II.

:'THE GHOST OF NIGHTINGALE BOWER"
Time passed very pleasantly for
Ronald. He spent his leizure time
hunting, fishing, and in visiting his
old friends and neighbors; there were
many things FOR him TO do besides, on
account of his long absence.
But he often thought of the girl
whom he had seen at the nightingale's
bower. He ventured by the dreary
mansion often with the hope of seeing
her, and went again and again to the
spot where the nightingale sung, but
all in vain. No one had seen her save
himself, and it seemed impossible for
him to see her again.
81 think III 60 away" he said to
himself at length, "thls ysterv wor-
ries me- and next morning h. shocked
"Aunt Jane with the announcement.
"Why, Ronnie!' she exclaimed in
distress, "going away? l vas SO in
hopes you had come to stay and would
soon bring bride home to cheer my
declining years.
Miss Jane Leigh, Ronald's aunt,
was comely old lady of perhaps fifty,
pleasant faced and gentle. She had
been almost like mother to the early
orphaned boy and he loved and highly
respected "Aunt Jane"
Ronald smiled and told her perhaps
he would bring bride home soon.
"rhe nightingales sang unusually
sweet las, night, Ronnie," Aunt Jane
remarked at length, "and the house
keeper says their bower is haunted"
"Why does she think so?" Ronald
inquired, all attention now.

idly, "there's figure seen there con-
stantly-the figure of a young girl, and
always in white"

A STANDING PLANT-BED.

Every planter ought to have a stand
ing plan. n.bed, which may be secured
in the following way. Some time in
July or August select one of the best
of the old plant beds, and with hoes
shave down the green plants over its
entire surface, and cover over lhickly
with straw or leaves, then place green
brush thIckly over the bed and weight
down with wo ,d. When the whole is
dry, some time in the late fall or early
winter, set on fire, and thus reDurn
over the bed. Then chop and rake
fine, SOW and trench as when frs. pre-
pared. Repeat the same operation
every year, and, if the bed is manured
properly, it will improve and prove a
stand by for many years.

UNBURNED BEDS.

AS soon as the plants become
"square" i. e., have four leaves-you
may begin to force their growth, #

stage Of their growth than TO apply dry
stable manure, rubbed fine, and soWed
over the bed, applying at the rate of
five bushels to every one hundred
square yards. Be sure to have it dry
and fine, and apply when the plants
are dry. This is a favorable time to
apply good fertilizer, and the best
time TO apply 1t is during a shower, or
when it is apparent that one is lmpend

iii time stable manure free from grass

If the "hy," as it is called, begins to

in which rags saturated with kerosene

the plants with the plaster, if necessary
to keep the little pests from devouring
them. Repeat the application after
every rain unless the fleas have left.
\ covering of green cedar brush has
driven off the fly when other remedies
failed, and saved the plants. If the
flies are numerous the planter can
save his plants only by vigilant and
constant attention. Hard burning

best safeguards, which rarely fail to re-
ward the planter with an early and

FOR PLANT BEDS.

CANVASCovERING FOR PLANT BEDS.
A covering of thin cloth has been
found to hasten the growth of plants
and protect them from freezing and
injury by he flea bugs. This makes
the bed warmer, and acts as cold
frame the canvas taking the place of
glass.
First, boards should be placed all
around the bed close, SO as to prevent
the little black beetle, or flea bug from
creeping through, eighteen or twenty
inches high on the upper side and slop-
ing to ten or twelve inches on the low
er. Then prepare lot of small stakes
Small round poles, one and one-half
inches in diameter, make good ones,
sawed into lengths graduated from two
feet to eighteen inches long, and sharp
ened at one end. Drive these stakes
SIX feet apart, IN rows, through the bed
for the lathS, two inches wide and one
inch thick, 10 rest upon. The middle
la,h should be a plank one inch thick
and six inches wide. Then drive ten
penny nails, eighteen inches apart, all
around the outside of the boarding,
and from five to SIX inches from the
top edge. Also drive nails in the
middle board, eighteen inches apart
Make the covering in two pieces, each
the size of half the bed-say ten by ten
yards-and SOW on the outer edge,
all around each cover, loops of cloth,
made of common domestic, eighteen
inches apart, to receive cord or twlne
which runs through loops all around
and tie, and the cover is ready TO be
placed over the bed and fastened by
pulling the twlne or cord over the
nails all around, letting the two covers
meet in the middle over the six inch
board. By this arrangement the cover
Is kept fast over the bed at the right
distance above the plants, and may be
removed and placed over it at will in
less time than by any other Known

Electricity in the Mines.

The statement comes from Wilkes
barre that Mine Inspector Williams be-
lieves he has discovered clue to the
cause of the explosion in No 3 mine of
Lehigh and Wilkcsbarre Coal Company,
at South Wilkesbarre, by which six
lives were lost, and the mine damaged
to the extent of $4,000. He believes
electricity from the trolley lines finds its
way through the earth to the iron water
pipes, and is then conducted into the
mines.
The fact was demonstrated recently as
result of an investigation into recent
explosion of gas in one of the nearby
mines. While the men were at work
repairing the damage, the joint of a pipe
in the mine was hit by hammer and
Immediately series of sparks flew from
the pipe. An investigation was made,
and as a result all the joints of the pipes
were insulated.

Forced to support Another's Wife.

Some months ago b. Il. Cutler, Pitts
ton. deserted his wife, and was sentenc-
cd to pay her $50 month. w. l.. Nc
Dougall, also of Pittston, became Cutters
bondsman, furnishing 81 900 bail for the
flithful performance of the sentence
After paying for three months Cutler
refused to give his wife any more money
and McDougall has been compelled to
pay $50 IA month for three months. He
had Cutler brought into court on Satur-
day to surrender him and be released
from further liability. This the court
refused to do.
Mr.. McDougall, who is married man
with family, argued that he should
not be compelled to support another
mans deserted wife. Judge Bennett
said the court was powerless to relieve
him OF the responsibility and he would
haye to pay.
