THE OLD VIRGINIA REEL.

In the sunny autumn gloaming when
the fire begins to sing,
And look between the ivies that
about my cabin cling
At my lonesome little garden, where
the ruined roses lie,
Like heap Of tattered beggars fallen
In the weeds to die;
And the chilly winds come droning
round the chimney and the caves.
And along the narrow pathway drive
the dry and withered leaves,
And the crazy mill Is silent, and
mist hangs DER the wheel,
Then I seem to hear the music OF an
old Virginia reel.
very sweet and very merry, very rant
and far away,
Now hear the ancient fiddlers on the
strings begin to play;
Keeping time with swaying bodies,
and kind of whispered Groom,
TILL a host of dainty slippers follow
to the dear old tune.
There is Mistress Jenine Weaver In
her gown Of yellow silk,
With the crimson coral shining on her
neck and arms Of milk,
Even Lady Betty Fairfax deigns to
tap scarlet heel
y
Virginia reel.
Lady Betty, Lady Betty. all your pride
is dust and mold,
For the worms have bred and nested
in our locks Of paly gold.
Mistress Jenny, with your laughter.
and your ribbons and our beaux,
And the hearts that you have broken,
are dead as yonder rose.
palsied, bent and gray,
Mumbling DER the vanished glor1es
and the joys Of yesterday,
When l had a gallant lover, and my
heart to him was leal,
And We gaily danced together in the
old Virginia reel.
All, the instruments are shattered, and
the strings are snapped in twain,
And the fddlers have forgotten and
will never play again!
Twas the creaking of the branches on
the shingles to and fro
That recalled to me the music and the
mirth Of long ago.
| But above the stars eternal, in their
faded pinks and blues
With the powder on their ringlets and
the buckles on their shoes,
! l shall see the beaux and sweethearts
in long procession kneel,
And their harps will play the music OF
an old Virginia reel.

BETTER THAN BARRELS.
Ing Popular I'm All Parts OF the
United States.

West OF the Rocky mountains boxes
are used In which to pack apples and
never barrels, and east of there they
are becoming more popular every year.
There are several objections to the bar
rel as a package for this fruit. among
them being that consumers in the city
do not want SO much fruit at one time
rs 1t contains. They rarely have space
in their storerooms for barrel. and
few have cool enough places to keep
apples long, before they will rot. These
facts often deter our best customers. the
city people, from getting apples in suf-
dcient quantities to induce them to use
them literally. Some of the exporters
OF apples to foreign countries greatly
prefer boxes, for they suit the trade
there, and pack closer in the holds OF
ships than barrels; where it is space
that is charged for, rather than weight.
However, all who have tried boxes are
not agreed as to their use in preference
to barrels, although most Of them are.
There are differences in the sizes and
shapes of the boxes in use, but that

solid ends of about three-quarter-inch
