Over the sea. Mavourneen, Mavourneen,
Long shone the white sail that pore

Riding the white wave that fair sum-
mer morning,
Just like a May fiow'r afioat on the
bay,
Like a gray curtain the rain falling
down
Hid from my sad eyes the path Ger the
ocean,
Far. far away where my colleen had
flown.

: Watch Ger my bird In the lana iaf
away;
And it's my pray'rs win consign to their
keepin',
Care. o. my jewel. by night and by
When by the fireside ! watch the bright
embers,
Then all my heart flies to England and
thee;
Or IL her tho.ts may be crossin to me.

We find the following in the Oxford
Democrat: The established number
of eggs to be placed under a sitting
hen according to poultry raisers is
thirteen. Mrs. f. H. Sanford has a
hen that showed much discernment.
Two nests were made in one box, and
a thin board placed between the nests
for a partition. In one nest was
placed ten eggs, in the other nine.
This remarkable hen was placed upon
the nest of ten eggs. and the other
nest was left with the intention of
putting a hen on later. During the
day this hen reached over into the ad-
joining nest and dextrously extracted
three of the eggs making her own
number the right amount of thirteen,
with which she appeared TO be com
pletely satisfied.
