IlltiElng with girlish laughter, Kmiolug boyish strife, Wo two are waiting together; And oft, as the shadows come, With tremulous voice he calls me, "itlsulgim arc the children at homo?" 'Yes, love!" I answer hln gently, "They're all homo long ago ;" ,4 And I sing, lit my quivering treble, A song so soft and low. Till the old man drops to slumber, With hut head upon nls hand, And I tell to myself the number ' At home In a better land. . . . . -.. Home, where never a oorrow , Hhall dim their eyes with tears t Whmethe smile of Uod Is on them Through all the summer years! I know Yet 111 y arms are empty That fondly folded seven. And the mother heart within nie Is almost starved for heaven. Sometimes In the rtnsdr. of evening, 1 only shut my eyes, And the children are al! about mo, . A vision from the ski s; The bale whose dimpled fingers ' J,ot the'way to my breast, ' And the beautiful ones, the angels, Passed to the world of the blest.

Thank Ood I floats over their grave, ' A breath, and the vision Is lifted Away on wings of light, And again we two are together, All alone In the night.

My hiishnndcalls from his corner, "Kny, love I hnve theehildren eomet" And I answer, with eyes uplifted, "Yes, dear ! they ure all at home!", , . . Mprlnglng Oat of Bed. Dr. Hall does not approve of the old-fashion doctrine which formerly instilled into the minds of the child ren that they should spring out of bed the Instant they awake In the morning. He saya that "up to eigh teen years every child should be atlowed ten hours' sleep, but time should be allowed to rest in bed, after the sleep is over, until they feel as If they had rather get up than not. It is a very great and mischievous mis take for persons, old or young es pecially children a id feebleor seden tary persons to bounce out of bed the moment they wake' up; all our in stincts shrink from it, and fiercely kick against it. Fifteen or twenty minutes spent iu gradually waking up, after the eyes are opened, and iu turniugover and stretching the limbs, do as much good as souud sleep, be cause these operations set the blood in motion by degrees, tending to equalize the circulation; for during sleep, the blood tends to stagnation, the heart beats feebly and slowly; and to shock the system by bounciug up in an instant and sending the blood in overwhelming quantities to the heart, causing it to assume a gal lop, when the instant before it was in a creep, is the greatest absurdity. This instantaneous bouncing out of the bed us soon as the eyes are open will be followed by., weariness long before noon." : Blander of Bash fulness. If there is any defect more striking than another in America, it is bash fulness. Young America, In partic ular Is painfully atfectcd by it. An incident is mentioned by a corres pondent, who was desired by his aunt to go over to neighbor Hhaw's and see if he had any straw for sale for tilling beds. "Mr. Khaw," said our informant, "was blessed with a good ly number of Misses Khaw, and I therefore feltalittle timid at encount ering them. To make the mutter worse, I arrived lust as the family were seated at dinner. Stopping at the doorway, hat in hand, 1 stam mered out. "Mr. Kiraw can you spare me enough shaw to fill a couple of beds !" "Well, replied the old gentleman glancing around at his large family, and 'enjoying my mistake, "I don't know nut 1 can; now many win you need I" "Before I could recover, those hate ful girls burst into a chorus of laugh ter, and I broke for home iu a cold sweat." The Boanoke savagely 'goes for' somebody after the following style. NVe "know how It Is ourselves," but never knew before just precisely how "lo do the subject Justice." The Times, however, does the whole mat ter up neatly "In a nut hell." Hear it : "When a man stalks Into our office, and with the, impudence of the devil asks for the "lost Times'' and him not a subscriber, we feel liko jumping down his tli rout. A man that is clearly ahle. to pay the small pittance of four cents a week, receiving the news of his own and other sections, and sneaks around a printing oftlce or his neighbor's house to borrow what he Is too cussed stingy to pay for, should ho made to stand on his bead four days a cent a day) out of every week, and repeat the Inst speech made in Congress. A Virginia paper has a most felici tous way of employing elegant and exprestiive figures of speech, as wit ness the following : "The devil first Invented snakes, fleas, scorpions, tar antulas, centipedes, mostjuitiM, gnats, hyenas, owls, buzxuriU, hawks, vul tures, alligators, stingorees, gars, sharks, ch grea and vampires; and to concentrate all the meaunetta and deviltry In creation, he put these In a cauldron aud boiled them down and produced u carpet bagger, as the masterpiece of Hatanio hate.

A correspondent of tho Farmers' Union offers a few words on the nub. Ject of corn planting and growing, and as the time Is at hand for far mers to lay out their plans for the forthcoming corn crop, we transfer his ideas to our columns. He says: "In raising corn the crop should be put in the ground not only for his own profit, but also with a view to future crops that the farmer may do sire to raise afterward. 1 would re commend to lay off the ground for planting at least four feet and a half the north or south way, so that the sun may have a fair chance, which is the best mellorator that can possi bly be found, when the conditions are right for Us congenial Influence. The east and west way I would lay out about two and a half or three feet, and let remain in the hill two stalks only. I would recommend that plant ing should be done earlier In the seas on, by about eight or ten days, than the majority of farmer are in the habit of doing in this vicinity. I hnve noticed that as a general tiling early planting has produced the beet results by far. IScfore planting be sure that your seed is good, for if it is uot, you will be likely not only to lose your crop, but your ground will he neglected and your future orop will be aUected by the neglect. ..-. It is a certain fact that working land and exposing It to the elements produces what I call a chemical ac tion, which is beneficial to its pro ducing qualities, and every time It Is stirred produces a new action. I don't believe it will have so good an effect to stir it too often, neither must It be too long after It baa been stir red.' As a general rule it should be gone through with just the day be fore the weeds make their appearance at the surface. I have often heard farmers say: 'My corn is perfectly clean ; It la not necessary to go through It." Ah I I understand, not necessary in order to kill the weeds, but should there not be a weed grow through the whole season, you would not go through It all, I suppose. Not so, however. Go through it just as often, not necessarily to work deem. but the shallower the better, if it is Clcau. rlow deep oini work shallow and often, Is the rule. - Should recom mend that the rows be marked very plain, so that they can lie gone through with by the time.lhe corn is fairly out of the ground; then the weeds will be out of the way for the season. Pou't neglect this lost sug gestion. Observe the foregoing, and my word for it, if any one In tho neighborhood has good corn, you will be the man, and your laud will be improvtd also." Newspapers and their lallaeaee. We shall not attempt to define the '' exact influence of newspapers; but, luuaii ITOS1II ,1, J, t. 19 Ural. CAIVIiailCi A book lives longer than a newspa per, but a newspaper is constantly at .work. ' The book circulates bv thous ands, and the newspaper by tens of inousanas. rue uook in read by the few, the newspaper by the million. Asa photographic impression of the lights and shadows ol passing life, everybody takes an interest in a newspaper. 1 1 is a record of the daily history of our own time; it Is in fact, iu our age, the history of telegraphic communication, and that Is the his tory of the world for each day. - Its columns contain a transcript of the deaths, the marriages, the accidents, the complaints, the excitements, the fears, the enthusiasm, the rejoicings, the sorrows and the wants of living men. How, then, can it fail to be generally interesting? But the newspaper docs more than this it forms opinions, sometimes leading, sometimes following. It ennnot go too fur ahead, neither can it lag too far behind! Itaolsaudis acted upon. Perhaps it U oftener an echo of what the majority of newspa per readers think, feel and desire, than anything else. This, indeed, is a, ueceseity of a newspaper's exist ence. Hut it ofteu leads opinion, too, by reiteration, by line, and by pre cept upon precept. As the water drop wears hollows in the hardest stone, so does the newspaper mold and shape the local ana political opinions of thecommuuity,aud bring about important and extensive chang- es. it does not louow mat these oplnlons are always valuable or ex celleut. The newspaper may form fulso views as well as true, may cle fend Injustice, strengthen prejudice, and propagate error. Tho only cor rective for all this is freedom.

"Don't talk to ma that way," said Neil, but go directly and tell the British Minister tbatl must see him immediately on especial busiuess." The servant obeyed, and delivered his message in so impresdve a style as to bring Mr. Jaeksou to the door forthwith. "Well," said Mr. Juckson. "what can be your business at this time of night, which iswi very urguut?" "Are you Mr. Jackson?" "Yes, sir, I am Mr. Jackson." "The British Minister?" "Yes, sir." "You have a nartv here to-uiiMit.

Bale for lb Care ar ah rep. We copy the following suggestions nbout sheep from a circular issued by Mr. y. C. D. McKay, the General Agent of the American Emigrant Company. The Company have al ready ten thousand sheep scattered among the farmers who purchased land of them, in flocks ranging In size from fifty to two hundred head ; 1. Keep sheep dry underfoot with litter. This is even more necessary than roofiug them. Never let them stand or He in mud or snow. 2. Take up lamb bucks early in the summer, and keep them npuntll De cember 1st following, when they ma be turned out. 3. Drop or take out the lowest bars as the sheep enter or leave a yard, thus raving broken limbs. 4. Count every day. 6. Begin graining with the great est care, and use the smallest quan tity at first. 6. If a ewe loses her Iamb, milk her daily for a few days, and mix a little alum with her salt. 7. Let no hogs eat with the sheep oy any means, in tne spring-. 8. Give the lambs a little milk feed In time of weaning. 9. Never frighten sheep If possible to avoia is. 10. Bow rye for weak ones In cold weather, If you can. 11. separate an weaK or thin or sick from the strong, in the fall, and give them special care. 12. If any sheep is hurt, catch it at once and wash the wound ; and if it is fly time, apply spirits of turpentine daily, aud always wash with some thing healing. If a limb is broken, blud it with splinters tightly, loosen ing as the limb swells. 13. Keep a number of good bells 011 the sheep. 14. Do not let the sheep spoil wool with chat! or burs. 15. Cut tag-locks hi early spring. IS. For scours, give pulverised alum In wheat bran ; prevent by taking great care In changing dry for green feed. 17. If one is lame, examine the foot. clean out between the hoof, pare the hoof If unsound, and apply tobacco with blue vitriol, boiled in a little water. 18. (Shear at once any sheep com mencing to shed its woo!, unless the weather Is too severe, aud save caie fully the pelt of any sheep that dies. 111. liuve. at least some good work to refer to. . Tliis will be money iu your pocket. Hod Cholepa. The best preven tive of hog cholera is to feed three parts wood ashes, two parts salt, one and a half parts sulphur pulverized. Mix with wheat bran. Then feed once a week. Also let your peus be well ventilated. Many crowd a num ber of hogs in a small, dark and dir ty pen, and expect thrm to keep healthy.

Their nausea, burning eyes and inflamed lungs would con vince them that their animals had a hard time of It, and that It is won derful they did not sicken and die.
