Hark! on the winds The boll’s deepest tones sre swelling. 'Us the knell Of the departed year. No funeral train Is sweeping past; yet on the stream and wood. With melancholy light, the moonbeams rest, Like a pale, spotless shroud; the air is stirred, As by a mourner’s sigh; and on yon cloud, That floats so still and placidly through heaven, The spirits of the seasons seem to stand—young Spring, bright Summer, Autumn’s 'solemn form, And Winter with his aged locks—.and breathe In mournful cadences that come abroad Like the far wind-harp’s wild and touching wail A melancholy dirge o’er the dead year, Gone from the earth forever.

The Elephant.

One day, children, when the menagerie had been qniet for a long time, the hyena was looking so lonesome and desolate that the elephant said he reminded him of “ the howl of the wilderness” every time he spoke. “ You can’t prove it,” said the hyena. “ You pel-i----can, said the elephant, which was neither good English, good grammar, nor good fun, and nobody laughed but the elephant, “ don’t you know it’s no consequence what you think in this 6how?” The bison interfered here, and said the ’possum might not be a very hart o beast, but he had a right to speak ” “ Well, well, old buffaloafer,” laughed the elephant, “ I reckon you’re here as a bisonification of justice, are you, you old bison of a gun? I’d like to see anybody puli the wool over your eye 3.” The bay mule down in the corner remarked that he’d like to see anybody pull the wool on the end of his tail, but nobody let on they heard him. Then, when the eagle tried to say something, the elephant asked him if he hadn’t just got off a Sixth Ward political transparency, and then said he thought he remembered seeing him on a barber’s pole. Then the bear spoke and said they’d had enough of that nonsense; and the elephant told him He d better haul himself inside the hatstore before it rained, and asked if soft felt would be much worn this winter. And then he finally got the monkey to crying by calling him Mr. Darwin, and telling him he looked enough like a a man to run for Congress. And in a little while he had the menagerie in such an uproar that the lights had to be put out and the people sent home. Land, yes, children, the trouble they used to have with the elephant no tongue can tell. He was always such a tease. —Bob Burdette. Secretary McCbary asks that army officers be punished for gambling. Apropos of the proposed reform some one brings up a case where the Captain of a cavalry company won every cent from twelve of his men and two of the officers of the company, all having just received their pay. In two days a professional gambler won all of the Captain’s winnings and the Captain’s entire salary as well. Four colored men in Georgia are worth over SIO,OOO each.

FARM NOTES.

Hogs may be kept from measles, trichinosis, etc, by mixing a handful of good wood ashes with their food twice a week. t The United States buys more and more Canada horses yearly. In 1875 we Imported only 214, valued at $28,955; while last year the number was 6,632, valued at $391,255. A Maryland farmer thinks he has found a sure cure for the Canada thistle. It consists in sowing the land infested by them with buckwheat early in the spring, allowing it to grow till it is in full blossom, turning under and again reseeding with the same grain. The last crop is harvested when ripe. The Franklin (Mass.,) Fanners’ Club have had a potato competition this year, All the contestants planted seed of Early Bose, and each chose his own mode of cultivation. A. "W. Cheever got the largest yield, at the rate of 488 bushels per acre, by the use of stable-manure, 400 pounds of sulphate of potash, and about 800 pounds of guano per acre, spread over the furrows in which the potatoes are planted. Eggs in Winter. —A writer in an agricultural journal has found out the secret of making hens lay in winter. He bonght a lot of corn that had been damaged by fire, and fed it to his hens. He found that ihey laid wonderfully well all winter, Upon this hint he has since acted, and has fonnd no difficulty in securing plenty of eggs in winter; keeping his (pwls in good warm quarters, and feeding them largely with roasted or parched grain, principally com. Cabbage Worms. We— Country Gentleman —have seen a statement in some of the papers that cabbages had been kept entirely clear of the insect by the aid of chickens, in a plantation of some thousands of plants. Screenings wete first scattered to attract the fowls among the oabbages, and then, discovering the worms, they kept the patch clean. We have found this method to answer well, provided the chickens are not full grown; when older, •they eat tho cabbages. Young turkeys are still better; their keen eyes and quick motions allow nothing to escape. A member of tho Elmira Farmers’ Club kept his cabbages entirely free by cayenne pepper. * Improve the Stock.— For about half the year we have to fodder cattle and sheep. Shall they grow while young steadily all the time till they are mature? Or, shall they be fed and shelered by a straw stack or a rail fence ust enough to hold them in place diirng winter and then do all their growing during a part of tho warm months? As the country grows older, competition becomes greater in everything. It requires better to make money. Poor stock, poorly managed, costs more than it will bring. Within a a few years the prices of choice animals have declined, till they are within the reach of every man who keeps stock. Now is a. good time to select a good, for use next season or later. The price will be lower now than in the spring when such animals are most salable. A thoroughbred male, of course, pays his way when used with pure-blooded females; but in a still more marked degree does he pay his way when used with grade or common stock. These are points whioh are well established beyond controversy.—Rural New Yorker. All About Muck. —Muck is the richness of the uplands washed by the annual rains down to the lowlands. It accumulates there, because it can get no lower, and coming down in a semi-liquid condition, as soon as it is at reet the sun evaporates the water from it, and leaves ar--generally—black, uuctous mass of soil, which is composed almost entirely of soluble material. Cultivating the uplands to exhaustive crops, and washing the remaining richness out by rains, soon renders such lands nearly barren. Digging out this deposit and hauling it to such fields as supplied it is merely restoring a runaway to its home. As the muck, in its'passage down-hill, has lost the coarser parts of the original soil, which make a loose and porous seed-bed, it has become so solid, so compact, that the atmosphere is absolutely excluded, and tho muck by itself is a mere paste, impervious to air, warmth, and all the invigorating influences of summer rains. To make it again soluable, then, it must not merely earted out and spread over the field, but it must be mixed with the soil as deep as the roots require, by plowing, harrowing or shovel-plowing under. This process restores it to the place it occupied before the washiDg-out process took place, and, to enable us to do this cheaply, the unctous mass is dug out in the fall, piled up on a slope to drain, and left to freeze friablo during the winter; then it will return to its proper place in the barren soil, and at once restore its original fertility.— Rural New Yorker.

An Injurious Practice.

The practice of eating snow and ice, so common among the school-children of the Northern States, is a frightful cause of catarrh. It is common to see boys and girls devour a snow-ball as though it were an apple, or an icicle as eagerly as a bit of candy. The hard palate which forms .the roof of the mouth also forms the floor of the nostrils, and is no thicker than pasteboard. The chilling effect of snow and ice brought freely in contact with this thin partition, the upper covering of which is a sensitive secreting membrane, made up almost wholly of fine blood-vessels and nerves, produces a congestion, often succeeded by chronic inflammation. As a consequence, these snow and ice eating boys and girls almost always have “colds in the head” and running noses. This is the foundation and origin of one of the most disagT9eable, persistent and incurable affections to which the people of the North are subject nasal catarrh. Catarrh is said to lead to consumption. Whether this is so or not, the chilling of the nasal membranes, a part of whose function it is to warm the air in its passage to the lungs, cannot but injure those organs, particularly in people of a delicate constitution.— Rural New Yorker.

Something; for the New Year.

The world-renowned success of Hostetter’s Bitters, and their continued popularity for a quarter of a century as a stomachic, is scarcely more wonderful than the weloome that greets the annual appearance of Hostetter’s Almanac. This valuable medical treatise is published by Hostetter & Smith, Pittsburgh, Pa., under their own immediate supervision, employing eighty hands in that department. Ten cylinder printing presses, eight folding-machines, five job presses, etc., are running about eleven months m the year on this work, and the issue of same for 1880 will not be less than 10,000.000, printed in the English, German, French. Welsh, Norwegian, Swedish, Holland, Bohemian and Spanish languages. Refer to a copy of it for valuable and interesting reading concerning health, and numerous testimonials as to the efficacy of Hostetter’s Bitters, amusement, varied information, astronomical calculations and chronological items, etc., which can be depended on for correctness. The Almanac for 1880 can be obtained free of cost from druggists and general country dealers in all parts of the country. Negtected Coughs and Colds. —Few are aware of the importance of checking a Cough or “Common Cold” in its first stage; that which in the beginning would yield to “ Brown’s Bronchial Tboches,” if neglected, often works upon the lungs. Mamma to Isabel (4 years of age), who is rather unmercifully teasing the kittens—“lsabel, my child, you must not do so. I don’t like to eee it.” Isabel—“ Well, don’t look, mamma.”

About Rubber Boots.

Undue competition between manufacturers ha* led to an extent of adulteration and cheapening of material never before known in the bu/rineea. Crude rubber bas the quality of absorbing or of becoming incorporated with % very large quantity of cheap and bulky subataaoee like lampblack, chalk, etc., which cannot be detected by the uninitiated, and which impair the durability of the goods. People call for low-priced goods, not reflecting that low prioee always mean low quality. The result is they waste meney on “wild oat” rubber boots, when an extra dollar or two would buy them a pair which will wear to their utmost satisfaction a whole season or more. The “95 Per Cent Sterling Rubber Boot,” manufactured by the C&ndee Rubber Company, Mew Haven, Ct, is meant to reform this abuse, and is well worth the inspection of those who need a real good article. Every store dealing in the “95 Per Cent Sterling Rubber Boots” is supplied with a sample out open to show the construction. They are warranted three months, and the storekeeper will punch the date of sale In the top of tholeg of each boot
