Breathes there the man with soul so

Breathes there the man with soul so
dead,
Who never to himself hath said:
"My trade Of late is getting bad
I'll try another eight-inch ADJ
If such there be, go mark him well;
For him no bank account shall swell,
No angels watch the golden stair
To welcome home the millionaire
The man who never asks for trade
By local line CIR ad. displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly
gain,
And patronage but gives him pain,
Tread lightly, friends; let no rude
sound
Disturb his solitude profound
Here let him live in calm repose,
Unsought except by men he owes,
And when he dies, go plant hin deep
That naught may break his dream
less sleep;
Where no rude clamor may dlspel
The quiet that he loved SO we'll,
And when the world may know It's
loss,
Place on his grave wreath Of moss,
And on a stone above. Here lies
A chump who wouldn't advertise. "

Keeping TurDipS and Unions.

Turnips may be stored about the
same as sweet potatoes. The tops
should be cut off. Wien they are
covered with sand they will rarely
ever wither, but if they get very
warm will start to grow and become
pithv, rendering them undesirable
for table use. This crop may be
kept "banked up out Of doors If
there is not room in the cellar. 10
do this successfully, pile them upon
some dry substance like straw and
then cover with corn stalks and
straw, put en- a light covering OF
earth. AS the season grows colder
more dirt may be added to keep
out the frost.
In storing onions, after having
kept them through the fall in a
cool, dry place, l like to put them
in barrels or small boxes in the Gel
lar where they will not freeze. 1t
is true that an onion may be kept
frozen, if not disturbed, but repeat
ed freezing and thawings, such as
our changeable weather is sure tt
cause, will spoil them. Onions
keep best when kept dry and at {
uniform temperature of very low
degrees, say between IS and Al
