r. THIS DREAM Ol' YOUTH. London Or afire (I built mo n ycoi long years ago, And I fitted It out llko the galleys of old; Its tails were as white as fresh fallen snow. And Is bows wero resplendent with crimson and Bold. Its bulwarks were firm, andlts masts strongand tall. J And a gay-colored fiction on high was spread; The beauty of Youth led a charm lo It all, And an Imago of Hopo was Its proud figure head. I launched It ono morn In the spring of the year, When the breezes were low, and tho sunbeams , were bright; And I, In the pride of my youth, had no fear T Of tho strength of tho waves or the gloom of tho night. Bo I reamed of tho riches my galley would bring From tho lands where no bark had been ever before: But the summer pasicd by, and spring wore round to spring, And. my vessel returned not, alas, to the shore. 7 f At length ono dark autumn It came back to me, But Us masts were all broken, Its bows were ( bare; Its bulwarks were covered with growth of the sea, And tho figure of Hope was no longer there, "While It broupht mo for freight but the drift of the wave, 1 The sea foam and weeds that had laid In It lonRi And 1 mournfully sighed as I gazed on the crave Of the dreams that were bright when life's heart-beat was strong. THE LAST PAGE. To-morrow, Grace to-morrow all my will" They were parting In tho laurel walk, half-way to tho cottage fr6m tho garden ga'o. "If I had always been all your own, Norman! If I had always belonged to you as I do now." Ms arm tightened about her, and a lit tlo cloud cnino Into his eyes which ho turned from her. Always hU own? What did ho know of tho twenty-two years that lay ltchlnd her? this beauti ful woman whom ho had met for tho first time six months ngo, when shocame to dwell with tho stalil old matron, her companion, in this littles eottngo of hers, half iv mile across the cllfl's from his park gates, What did ho know? Llttlo enough, perhaps only that sho was tho ono wo man In tho world to him. And yt slin was leaving on tho mor row for Wyndham Park, the great houso of thoneiguborliood. "Norman Wyndham, llko herself, had no nearer kindred, no ono to consult, wlun ho fell suddenly and violently In lovo nothingto Intorfero with this pas sion of his. She did not even remonstrate when lio lixed tho wedding day only a month after; and sho schooled herself to meet, Wthaocrtain stately graciousncss, his many friends, who htul not taken the smallest notice of her before, but who now flocked to mako her acquaintance, as tho neighborhood could not afford to bo but on tho best of terms with Wynd ham Park. And so tho morrow was rtke wedding-day. But tho cloud in her lover's eyes was not the shadow of a 'doubt of her, of whom ho actually knew so llttlo; it was rather of icalousy that tlicro had been a timo when sho was not his own. It was gone almost as soon as come, how ever, for tho morrow was tho wedding day. "Tell mo. Norman answer mo," sho continued nfter a pause, "could you bo happy now without mo?" "Graeol" It was answer enough for her that ono word In his thrilling voice. Sho bent her head, and tho next instant her litis lust touched his hand. And before ho could start out of his amazement, and stop her, tho Hying whlto llcuro was half-way to tho porch. "Until to-morrow to-morrow, Nor man!" was tho good night sho llunj; bnek to him as sho went. And then sho hoard tho click of tho gato:afterhimas sho wentalowly up tho porch steps.

And vet sho. littered not a sound. Sho only reeled back a pace or two, and smoio nor nnnas logeiner wuu a wild and despairing cesturo. At that tho man gave alow.nnd guard cd ohuokle.

"May I ask why, having lost sight of mu theso six yearn, you triko tho troulbo to look mo up now?" "For two rcasons, my dear. To bo exact, I never lost sight of you. You havo owned that snug llttlo property theso four years. So much for reason number ono; secondly, I have a certain objection to seolng my wife tho wifo of another man." Tlicro was a ring of truth in tho last words, mockingly though thoy wero spoken. Graco looked at liltn nnd calmed herself, "At least I owo you something for saving mo from that," sho said, quietly. "Hut to-morrow everything shall bo ar ranged between us." She went past lilni, into tho house, and upstairs .to her own room. Ho understood her well enough; sho Wns leaving him tlicro ns innster of tho house; only to-night, ns sho had told him, tlicru wns nothing nioro to ho said between them. Well, so let it be.

Everything was going well; ho was quite at his ease. So much nt his ease, so comfortably asleep, that when tiiero wns a light rustling through tho shrub bery under tho windows, it never roused him. It was but an instant. A dark llguro gained tho gate and sped on swiftly up tho road. In tho morning they found her cham ber empty, her bonnet and shawl gone, her purse and small satchel tilled from her open bureau-drawers, and two seal ed notes on her drosslng tnblo.

From the United State. Miller. Dhoura, or Egyptian corn, is attract ing a great deal of attention in the Western portion of Kansas, which has a tlry climate, rno piani grows wen there, and is found to bo an excellent grain for tho uso of man and beast. It is a sort of cane, and grows something liko sorghum, rno seeu iorms on mo top of tho stalk, and curves over und hangs down liko a bunch of grapes. It looks much liko rice. Olllclal analysis has shown that it possesses greater nutritive powers than Indian corn (maize), and farmers prefer it for stock- feeding. It yields from fifteen to forty bushels per acre, and It will stand a great deal of dry weather. Tho heads are gauiorou into a wagon, aim mo grain is threshed out hi a threshing machine, tho samo ns wheat. It makes a very palatable Hour when ground, re sembling nn equal mixture 01 maize and wheat Hour. This plant will un doubtedly provo of Inestimable value to our Western States and Territories Grafting Potatoes. Farm and Fireside. An extract from a report on potatoes exhibited at tho late industrial exhibi tion nt Toronto, states that Mr. Howo makes an exhibition of potatoes in tho first generation after grafting. Ho takes one potato and scoops out ov cry eye. in tho Hash of it lie inserts a slnirlo eye from tho other potato timt lie desires to cross. Tho result is that tho ovo grows, but in its early days it feeds upon tho juices of tho potato to which it lias boon united, and tho new tubers grown from It partake of tho character ot uoiu parents, in prooi 01 ims mv. Howo shows progeny from tho union of a red potato with an oyo from a wiiito ono. Tho progeny is a red potato with wiiito oyes. Also tho progeny from a dark red potato and tno oyo ot a llcsii colored ono. Tho progeny is a dark po tato with light oyos. Another union mado by Mr. Howo was of the Snowllako, which is early, with a light variety. Tho result Is aluto potato exactly resembling the Snowllako. All tho new potatoes from tho grafted tubers nro small, but not by any means ns small as potatoes grown tho first year from seed. Next year tho product from tho grufted potatoes will grow full size. It-takes four years to grow now potsv toes from tho seed to their proper size, and this is another advantage wiiicu is claimed for grafting over hybridization by seed. Perhaps tho publication of this lcC0unt of grafting potatoes may lead . . . l' . ... . . . . to experiments wnioiiwiu establish cou- iMusivoiy which is tno uost way ot pro iAiclug now varieties of potatoes. ,Mr. Howo shows iu all tho bushel elVyses, tuitl his specimens are in nearly ull'V-'asos tho largest shown, wlillo thoy art also goon specimens, ills Snow lit ios aro of very great si.i cry great si.o, Orchard Management.

It boing qulto rocky, and turned a sho't inrrow toward tno trees. As 1 worked from them I lot tho plow fall a llttlo lower, and whon between tho trees allowed tho plow to run deep, so that ino water wouiu some away lrom tliom in ino spring, i nauieu a unr qunuti ty of courso ninnuro, pulvorizod It well and marked out hills, manuring cnoh hill, I planted corn and beans, and harvested a nice crop of corn, boans und pumpkins. Tho following Spring I ropcniou uio samo lorm or cultivation and Harvested Uio second eron of corn boans and pumpkins, which paid mo to satisfaction. My trees begun to grow yory fust, and that Full I harvested seventy bushels of vorv good nnnlos, Tlio following Spring I manured for tho third time; planted It to potatoes, which ctcw vcrv Inrco. but rottod very badly. I mado up tho loss, howovcr, by horvestilng 200 bushels of inrgo anil natural fruit. I changed tho production of n yellow bell-Howor trco from thrco fourths of a bushel to seven bushels, nnd sold them for 81.25 tier bushel. which I think n very good return for my labor, r rom my experience i am of tho opinlnn that most trees liavo too much (op for tho amount of roots, nnd n deficiency of nourishment for pro ducing a developed fruit.

Tea and coflle, now our simple beverages, aro often but badly prepared. Colleo should always bo fresh ground, bo placed In a eliina vessel of whatever kind, or ono of granite ironware, anil very little boiling water bo poured on it. It should then bo ullowed to stand nnd the remainder bo poured on, bo well covered and plneed a few minutes on the stove, with out allowing it to boll. Coll'eopots should bo so arranged that when the colleo is poured out it is strained. No boiling up of old colleo will ever make anything liko a good cup. Wo must invo tno aroma, aim uiai. is ucsiroycu iv nnv mixture whatsoever. It is be- lieveif thnt boiled milk should be added o eoll'ee, it should never lie boiled, but lie jiiid warmed. Tea-making is a very lelleato all'air, and should be well watched. Teapots of pure sliver and thoso very best plated mako good tea; but tho plain chinuwaro or thu granite ironware aro oven preferable. Tea should bo placed lu a heated pot, some warm water just sprinkled over it, and nfter standing three or four minutes tho boiling water bo poured on. Water must bo adtled when required, always before the last cup is exhausted, and tho teapot must never stand on tiie stove, but on whatever rcster is near it, if tho tea lias to bo kept warm. Unless the tea Is taken when made tho real aroma Is lost. Overworking the Undeveloped llruln- Lancet ... , ,, , "UvcrworK," properly so caned, can only occur when the organ upon which the stress of the labor falls is im mature, and, therefore, in process of development.

Hepoutod "ellbrts" may, under abnormal conditions, follow each other too rapidly to allow of re cuperation, in tho intervals of actual exertion, and as tho starting point will, in each successive instance, be lower than tho previous state, tlicro may bo a gradual abasement; but even. this process siiouui not seriously injure a icaltby and well-developed organ. In short, a great deal of nonsense has been said and written about tho "overwork" of mature brains, and there aro grounds for believing that an excuse has been sought for idleness, or an indulgence iu a valetudinarian habit, in tho popu lar outcry on tins subject which n wniio ago attracted so much nttontlou.
