The Summons.
I think tho leal would sooner
Bo tho first to break away
Than hang alone in the erchard
In the bleak November day.
And I think tho fate of tho flower
That falls in tho midst of bloom,
la sweeter than if it lingered
To die in tho autumn's gloom,
Sorue glowing golden morning,
In the heat ot summer tirao,
As I stand in tho poriect vigot
And strength of ray youth's glad prime, '
Whon my heart is light and happy,
And tho world seems bright to mo,
1 would like to drop from this earth-life
As a green leal drops from the tree.
Some day, when the golden glory
Ot June is over tho earth,
Ami tKo l\irr1a nro atnopinrr

In a -wild, mad strain of mirth,
\Vhen the skies are clehr and cloudloss
As tho skies ot June cau be,
I would like to have the summons
Sent down trom God to me.
I would not wait for the furrows,
For the laded eyes and hair;
But pass out, swift and sudden,
Ere I grew heart-sick with care.
1 wyuld break, some morn, in my singing.
Or tall in my springing walk,
As a full-blown flower will sometimes
Drop all abloom from the stalk.
!
So, in my youth's glad morning,
Whilo the summer walks abroad,
I would like to hear tho summons
That must como some time trom God. :
I would pass lrom the earth's perfection |
To the endless Juno above;
From the fallueiS of living nd loving
To the noon of immortal love.

JACK BALLAST'S YARN, j
My story? Well, I don't see why I j
should not scratch it down. There's (
nothin' to be ashamed of in it, so far as
I know, and though your regular story
writers mayn't call it "romantic," I
think the wind sets that way myself, j
and there's abit of love in it, too, though <
vou'd never think I was a subject for a
love story, to look at me. I'm old
enough, d'ye see, to feel safe about the '
draft, and brown enough to be a Hottentot;
and as for flesh?well, no mat- '
ter: some of you slim young dandies 5
will be as stout as I, if you live as long. 1
tfeside that iracas at Gibraltar didn't
improve my looks. I'll tell you about *
that before the story is over, I reckon;
at present I'd better heave ahead.
l?at as I am and old as I am, there was s
a time when I was a slender young fel- <
iow as ever shipped afore the mast agin
his parents' leave. Tliey, Lord bless <
'em! wanted to make a counter-lumper '
. of me, and I tried measuring rags about <
a year. Then I could not stand it any J
1 longer, and jumped the old counter for
good, and cut and went to sea. I'd had ; '
a hankerin' for it a good while, and the ; t
only thing I ever regretted was the way i
my poor mother took it to heart. Wait i '
a bit. Ilonor bright, there was one !
thing. !f
There was Jenny Blush, old Blush's
only daughter, and the prettiest girl I >
ever cast eyes on. Her skin was just as *
soft and fair as any baby s. As for her
hair, I've got a bit in my old desk up J
stairs; and though it has crossed the '
ocean about a dozen times it's so bright (
now you'd take it for a gold chain coiled 1
down under the bit of blue ribbon it's 1
tied with.
Old Blush was my captain ashore. I c
mean to say ho was the head of the big
dry goods store where they first set me !
to measuring rags, and Jenny used to ! J
come over every day after ribbons and ! t
calico and the like; and, Lord love ye! j f
' I don't find fault with women folks look- i
ing after such things, tho' it didn't seem j
a man's place to sell 'ear. She looked j (
mighty pretty when she put 'em on, did j 5
Jenny. Father and old Blush were fast! '
friends, and when they found out that I j
was sweet on Jenny, they put their J 1:
heads together and resolved to sanction j I
the matcxi. I was to be taken into part- j o
nership, d'ye see, and was to step into ! a
the rag business when the old man step-1 li
ped out. " Dry Goods, Wholesale and j s
Ketail," was on the sign, but I always j fi
called 'em rags. i
Well, Jenny and I were fond of each i n
other, and knew it already; so, the old !
folks Upin^flCTeeahle. wpsaw a pood deal s
ot each other. Sundays and evenings, to j
say nothing of the errands she made to |
the store. And I used to wish I could j n
make up my mind to it and stay ashore; j
but I could not if I died for it. I heard s
the waves beating about my head in j s
dreams. I hated the cloth, yard and the j ^
scissors so they made nie ill. And one j ii
night I told Jenny so. She cried a bit; j a
b?tby-and-l>yeshe owned that she didn't .7
hate me for it; and we talked of the time J
when I should beacaptain, andshecould r
make every voyage with me, and have a
cabin like a parlor to herseli. 1 c
Then she let me kiss her. P'raps she v
kissed me back; and I cut off the yellow ; ,j
curl I told you of with a pair of scissors ! a
?the only pleasant job I ever had with ,
the confounded things in ail ray life. j ?
That night I ran away, and though I j e
blubbered like a baby when I passed ' s
mother's door, you couldn't have coaxed j 3
me back again. What a man wants to 1 d
be he will be; and there are men meant 1j
from their cradles for the water as sar- ] 0
tin as the fish are. I a
I got a letter from old mammy that1 n
cut me up, I don't deny; but I knew ; t
she'd come round, and I didn't guess the ! >
worst?how should I? When it first' y
came to me that a man that sold rags j
was better than a sailor it took my : y
breath away. This was when I first i f
went home, d'ye see! Mammy she j \
scolded and cried and kissed me; but j 1,
Margaret, jYieiinda ana brotlier (Jliarias j
Augustas pitched into me ferociously. ,
Says they: "You've disgraced your ' >
family?we have been respectable gen- i j
teel folks all our lives and now we're to
have a common sailor for a brother!"
I caught it?a reg'lar gale; and father s
put in his oar regarding disobedience. ]
When that came I cleared out and
marched over to old Blush's. Nobody i t
was at home but Jenny, and she rushed !
into my arms. Well, we were billin'! v
and cooin,' as sweethearts mostly do, I j
reckon, when old Blush came home to j}
tea. I never heard a gale of wind roar !
louder than he did when he saw me.
"What do you want here, sir?" sajs t
he. i j
Says I, " Don't you recollect me, Mr. i i
BlJd'i? I am Jack Ballast." I f
Says he, "Irecollect you well encugh.; r
and how dare you show your face here?" I (
Says 1,441 came to see my Jenny." i
44 Your Jenny P" says he. "My good 1 j
* fellow, Miss .Jenny Blush is no match ; t
for a common sailor before the mast; ,
and whatever there may have been be-! ?
tween you when you were entitled to my I \
respect, it is all over now. You have j ]
your choice of quietly walking out vourooU
nr Komrr ^ I
ocii ui w? ^*"5 v/ui.
Any onebut Jenny's father would have
been floored for that. I just looked up
and down and saw my lists shut up of
themselves, and tried to keep 'em so. <
Says I, as cool as I could, " I don't j 1
mean to be before the mast all my life, |1
sir. I expect to be a captain some day." j 1
"And/'says old Blush," a man with no <
advantage, brought up to the sea, might 11
boast o'that; but you might have been a ''
partner in our firm, sir. You might be i 1
a gentleman, and had as good a business 11
in the dry goods line as any alive. And i
you have chosen to be a roving rascal. I <
And I'd see my daughter in hyr grave i <
before I would give ner to you. Sam,' 1
show this person out." | <
This was the servant just come aboard <
the parlor with the coal-hod. And when ; i
he said that my fists were beyond my 11
oontroi, and the last I saw of old Blush : ]
he was on his back on the hearth rug. I
i saw J enny on me sly the next day 11
and tri"d to get her to run away; but i
the girl liad a will of her own and knew :
her duty. t 1
6113 s fhe: " I can't disobey my father 1
Jack. I love you dearly and I'll never 1
marry any one else; but "it must be all j 1
over between us. I don'c think pa | J
would have relented even if you hadn't j 1
been so violent; but now he never will. 1
You've done it yourself, Jack," she
Raid, turning quite white, and looking |
away from me. " You liked the sea I
beat, and you have got it instead of me." |
Those were the last words she said. I ,
was going away when I heard her give
a little cry, and turning, saw her arms
stretched toward me; then I went back
and folded her to my bosom, and kissed
her a hundred times. And I'm afraid I
cursed the hard old lather from the bottom
of my soul, though 'twasn't aloud,
for mind ye, a woman is a woman, and
words good enough for otiher men's ears
k
ain't to be spoken before her. The sight
of Jenny as I left her, with her yellow
hair blown back under the bare tree 0
branches, all bright with icicles, haunted j;
me for many a long day; and though I v
loved the sea, there were times, when, g
looking over the side, I used to fancy ? a
voice deep down in the waves whisper- 0
ing her words over again; 0
"You've done it yourself, Jack; you $
liked the sea better than me, and you've ,
got it." a
It doesn't take long for the years to go li
by, either on the land or on the ocean, c
They went with me as with ether folks, a
I got on well enough. Before I knew it b
I was first mate, then second mate, then e
captain. I suppose I should have sailed c
the sea until they buried me in it if it a
hadn't been for the first mate, Tom Ham- f?
lin. I loved that fellow as I might a
brother, if I'd had a better one than s;
Charles Augustus. At Gibraltar Ham- s
lin got into a row with some soldiers, b
They had firearms about them and used b
them on each other. I didn't savo n
Hamlin, for they shot him dead; but s
I got a couple of bullets in me and t:
was picked up just as near Dave Jones' b
locker as ever a man was who didn't t
go into it. I got well again, and was y
on the invalid list; and as I had laid up 15
a handful of money and was past forty, v

take carp of Tom Hamlin's orphan chil- a
dren. He liad two of them, both girls. a
I settled down in New York and fetched h
them home, poor, half-starved creatures,
for the woman they boarded with was "
given to drink, and kept them on bread w
and treacle, and as they told me I must, 'l
I put them in black frocks?they would a
have felt just as bad in red?and settled ?
down to be comfortable. Soon I looked M
out for a chaplain, to pass Sunday as it c.
ought to be, and the Rev. Eben Tooker's "
church being handy, I shipped him along t(
with the girls, and, as I always did my ei
duty, I never pretended not to see the tl
plate when the steward shoved it up our ^
pew. The Rev. Eben Tooker was a
social man. He used to drop in evenings h
and talk to me about my soul; and
thongh I can't say but what I dropped a:
asleep sometimes he knew his duty v
when he did it. A captain's duty is one 0
thing, and a chaplain's is another. U
One day he spoke about poor Ham- ?
lin'sgals. Says he. "You send them h
to school, I hope." Says I. "I haven't ?
ilone it?gals are better without learn- ?
ing. if they can read tueir Bibles and
cipher out the butcher's bill." 11
But he kept on and pretty soon 1 let "
liim examine them. Lord love ye, ^they
hardly knew their letters. The school- ?
ing as well as the board had gone for
?in. "
" The poor heathen are scarcely more "j
benighted," said our chaplain. He in- ^
iists on my saying pastor, but t'other s]
sounds the best. ^
"We must find an nsfcructres9? for p;
them, captain."
"Surely," said I?I wanted to do the tj
best by Tom's children that I could? cj
surely; just mention a schoolmarm, c
ihaplain." a]
Said he, " My own are under the care
if the person who plays the organ?a j1(
lighly estimable lady in reduced cir- a,
;umstances. Her school is close by. j8
So. ?. Broome street." ,
So he wrote the name and address on
i card, and I promised to take the girls tj;here.
tj
Monday morning we took sail. I 01
sought 'em spelling books and satchels D]
ind slates, and by nine o'clock we were
it the door. Then I looked for tlie card, p!
ind. behold ye, I'd lost it! However, '

Betsey was wiping her eye, and Peg

calls ye now." :?
So I lugged 'em in and made my rever- .

Says I, "Beg pardon, arc you ill, tli

Hindoo Care of Life. 4,1
In the early dawn next morning we
trove to Kaira. a place of 12,000 inhabitants,
along a fine road with sheltering
:rees. The town stands on the high i
bank of a river. From the top of the ^
iollector's house there is an extensive *,?
new over a rich, well-timbered country. ^
rhere are many monkeys, some very t.
large, and though they injure the crops,
ao one molests them. This care of life .
in regard to the lower creation is a prin2iple
of Hindoo religion more strictly
observed than that o? care of their fellow-creatures
outside the circle of thpir
)wn family connection. Within that

ioos of high caste never take life. Some j
ire strict vegetarians, and in order to "
preserve life will frighten awayfish from i /
parts of a river where they have reason | ?
to expect English officers to come in j ^
luest otthem. Even the much-abused | jj
money-lender refuses all advances to
fishermen. On one occasion I came
upon an extensive enclosed park with ; ^
shelter sheds, maintained by a native j
banker, into which horses no longer fit
for use were charitably received and fed,
that they might wear out their lives in I .
quietness. And yet female infanticide .
is undoubtedly too common, sixty-four q
females to 10# males beinc not an un- .
usual proportion in the population. A
native judge explained this to me by R'
the great desire among the lower clues J
to intermarry with the higher, a lower P,
man being ready to pay a needy man of F
the higher order a large sum of money j fl
to induce the son of the higher rank to
marry his daughter. But when the 1
lower man lms ho money, as is too olten
the case, the female infaht is apt to be r]
negiected and allowed die. -The Nineteenih

The Process of Iucnbation.
There are many things the existence
f which the majority of us live and die
ti ignorance of. Only by close observation
do we acouaint ourselves with
orne interesting facts, We know that
, ken sits three weeks before bringing
ut her young; a turkey sits four weeks
>r about twenty-six days; tbe common
iuck nearly the same lengtli of time;
vhile a robin brings out her fledgling in
.bout eleven days. The young of the
atter bird is not fully formed when it
omes from the shell. The eyes, beak
,r.d feathers grow atterward, and the
iody grows into shape, requiring fully
leven days more before the young bird

or by the parents.
The " People's Practical PoultryBook"
ays of incubation: The hen has
carcely set on her eggs twelve hours
iefore some lineaments of the head and
iody of the chicken appear. The heart
jay be [seen to beat at the end of tlie
econd day of incubation. It has at this
ime somewhat the form of a horse-shoe;
ut no blood appears. At .the end of
wo days two vessels ?f blood are to be
istinguished; the pulsation of which
i very visible; one of these is the left
entricle, and |the other the root of the
reat artery. At the fiftieth hour one
uricle of the heart appears, resembling
noose folded down upon itself. The
eating of the heart is first observed in
?e auricle, and afterward in the ven:icle.
At the end of seventy hours the
rini's are distinguishable; and on the
' t?v vi_i c? 4.u~
eaa two duouics :ire own xur uic uiiim,
rid one for the bill, and two for the
>re and hind part of the head. Toward
le end of the fourth day the two auriles
already visible draw nearer to the
eart than before. The liver appears
jward the end of the fifth day. At the
iid of one hundred and thirty-one hours
ue first voluntary motion'is observed,
.t the end of seven hours more the lungs
tid stomach become visible, and four
ours afterward the intestines and loins
ad upper jaw. At the one hundred
nd forty-fourth hour the ventricles are
isible and two drops of blood instead
f the single one that was seen before.
?n the seventh day the brain begins to
ave some consistency. At the two
undred and nineteenth hour the bill
pens, and the flesh appears on the
reast. In four hours more the breastone
is seen. In six hours after this the
ibs appear forming from the back, and
le bill is clearly visible, as well as the
all-bladder. The bill becomes jjreen at
ic end of two lmndred and thirty-six
ours, and if the chicken be taken out ef
s covering at this period it evidently
toves .itself. The feathers begin to
loot out toward the end of the two
undred and fortieth hour, and the
lull becomes gristly. At the two hunrod
and eie-htv-eiehth hour the ribs are
erfeot. At the" three hundred and
lirty-first hour the spleen draws near
le stomach, [andj thej lungs to the
lest. At the end of three hundred and
fty-five hours the bill frequently opens
id shuts; and at the end of theeighicnth
day the first cry of the chicken is
eard. It afterward gets more strength
id grows continually, tiil at length it
enabled to set itself "free from its conaement.
In the whole process we must remark
lat every part appears In its proper
me. If, for example, the liver is formed
i the fifth day, it is founded on the
receding situation of the chicken, and
1 the changes that are to follow. No
irt of the body could possibly appear
>oner or later without the whole emryo
suffering. ?Country Gentleman.
A llnmorist on Mnsic.
Thirty years ago the singers of our
>untry sang tunes. To-day the singers
' our country sing surprises. We call
tem surprises, because, to the uniniated,
the " air " of modern music, if
has any air, is a constant succession
surprises. A stranger goes to a cnurcn
a high-toned concert, or a private
irty, and listens to " classical" music
r the first time with the profoundest
itonishment. He is surprised to hear
person, or a dozen persons, 6inging,
id yet hears no tune. He follows
iem, and where he imagines they are
lout to go up, they go down, and stay
jwn, down ever so long?as long as a
lck can stay under water. Then they

their hearts they are lying, and that

iiistling extracts from 111 Trovatore or

at a bit of it. But let a new tune
me out, like Shoo Fly, Molly Darling,

ar it from Maine to San Francisco,

Even the perpetrators of

lile they ridicule it in public they will

FARM, GARDEN AND H0USEH0L1
Care of Tools and Farm Machinery.
Every farmer prefers putting his han
to a bright plow which turns the fui
rows with comparative ease, to bot
team and driver,than one weather-beafe
and dulled with the previous set
son's dirt, and yet many dollars dwind]
imperceptibly but surely away eac
year, and farmers annually grumble, a
because of the careless handling of fan
machinery. With one accord7 reapei
and mowers, seed drills, plows and hai
rows, are sufsred to remain where lai
employed to hear the action of peltin
storms and drying winds. The repaii
required the following season will co:
more than the building of a shed or to<
house, or the arrangement of a place fc
them in outhouses already erected
Everybody knows this, but everybod
does not heed and profit by it. Tb
man, however, who possesses a to<
house and requirements for properl
storing farm implements could not b
induced to abandon thfcse conveniencei
for he has learned they not only pi
money in his pocket, but that the extr
cost and labor attending the care of too!
Ls more than paid for in the preventio
of wear and tear on his patience whe
the busy season begins. Then is the ii
terest returned on all time and mone
expended by properly storing, by findin
things not only in place but in workin
order.
There are a variety of mixtures whic
ma,*rbe applied to the iron portion c
i implements to prevent rusting, tl:
| cheapest of which is grease that has nc
been salted. An excellent article can b
prepared for the protection of eithe
steel or iron by melting lard and coir
mon resin slowly together and stirrin
the mixture as it cools. When require
! in large quantities make in the propoi
lion of about six pounds of lard to tw
of resin. It only a small amount is d?
sired a piece of resin about the size of
hen's ecc will suffice for one pound c
lard. This mixture may be applie
with a cloth or any article that wi!
give a thin coating to the metal surfac
to be protected. The resin prevents th
lard from becoming rancid and th
grease excludes air and moisture. Be
fore applving the machines should b
thoroughly relieved of dirt and dust
wipe tlie bearings and oil with casto
oil. Castor oil, oy the way, is amon
the best of oils for iron axles. A whet
well lubricated with it not only turn
readily but wears much longer tha
when oiled with cheaper sorts of grease
Not only is it economy to look afte
the iron and steel part of tools and ma
chinery, but the wood-work claims at
tention. Repeated wetting and dryin
soon injures any wood, causing crack
ing and finally decay. This may b
prevented by the timely and occasiona

application oi some cueitp pmiit. yviuji
the wood-work from exposure has be
come cracked it is advised to give it
wasli of crude petroleum previous t
an external coat of paint. Petroleun
has a strong preservative power, con
verting soft, perishable woods to th
durability of hard woods. It not onl
improves all wooden tools, but is alik
valuable for rustic furniture exposed t
the weather. An occasional coat of thi
oil improves their color and render
them more lasting.?New York World.

, Household Hints.
Removing Mildew.?Dissolve chlor
ate of lime in sufficient water to cove
the goods; put in the goods, let it stam
for a few minutes, wring out, and spreai
in tli3 sun; repeat two or three times
and the mildew will entirely disappear
then take up, wash and boil, and yoi
will not only iind the mildew removed
but your clothing nicely bleached. Thi
is also good for bleaching brown sheets
Moths will work in carpets in room
that are kept warm in winter as well a
in summer. A sure method of remov
lllg LUC IAJ puui aiuii
water on the floor to the distance o
half a yard around the edges before lay
ing the carpets. Then once or twia
during the season sprinkle dry salt ove
the carpet before sweeping. Insects d<
not like salt, and sufficient adhere to th
carpet to prevent their alighting upon it
House Plastering.?Small holes ii
white wi lis can be easily repairec
without sending for a mason. Equa
parts of plaster of paris and? white san<
?such as is used in most families fo
scouring purposes?mixed with wate:
to a paste, applied immediately an<
smoothed with a knife or a flat piece o
wood, will make the broken place " a
good as new." The mixture harden
quickly, so it is best to prepare but i
small quantity at a time.
Easy Way to Dry Beef.?Cut th
steak from the bone lengthwise, ii
strips weighing three or four pound
each; sprinkle salt on the bottom of:
firkin, and pack in alayerof pieces; thei

on the top, and pour in cold water tc
cover; after a couple of weeks take ii
out and drain; rub the outside thor
oughiy with pepper, tie strings in tin
smaller end of the pieces, and hang on j
pole over the kitchen stove; two week
will dry it; put in a linen bag and hanj
up in your store chamber.
Varied Diet for Fowl*.
No matter whether the fowls are kep
merely for pleasure or not, we hav<
never yet seen a breeder who did noi
want his hens to outlay his neighbors
flocks, and to generally excel them; fine
with the farmer 01* the breeder who ex
Eects to realize considerable profits frou
is flocks, the same holds good in even
particular. To secure uniformly tin
very best results, it is necessary to van
the diet, as well as to give those food:
which will answer the purposes best, ii
conjunction with giving the best of can
and attention in the otlier department1
of the management. In summer tin
green grass and the large quantities 0
bugs and insects which the birds car
at all times help themselves to, furnisl
them with a varied diet, to counterac
any harmful influence which migh
arise from feeding large quantities 0
grain food. In the winter, these thing
nave disappeared until warm weather
and the deficiency must be met by sup
plying the green food in the form o
vegetables, arid an occasional feed 0
meat or meaty food must be given. I
will be found desirable to change tin
grain frequently, as it conduces t<
healthfulnras.

Fatal Collision on tlie Ocenn.

bound to Charleston, S. C., from New Wool
York, was sunk at sea at three o'clock in the
morning alter a collision with tho English ship Becj
Lady Octavia, when thirty miles east ol Cape

river. Of the fllty-flve persons on board the Hot?"
Rteamship Champion thirty were drowned.
The Champion lelt her moorings at Pier 27,
| North river, at five o'clock in the attern ion, ?
and had proceeded directly upon her course . ^
about 120 mi'.eH when, on tho following day, c,n<;
the Lady Octavia, bound to Now York from P^n
Rio Janeiio, Brazil, came into collision with bllli
her. Tho sen was smooth, tho stars were the
shining brightly in a sky that was almost COM
wholly cloudless, and the moon, which was pur<
low in the heavens, was shining faintly. The penc
British vessel was sighted only three minutes
belore the collision occurred, and three minutes
alter the collision tho Champion lay upon
the bottom of the sea. Of tho sixteen passen- j
gors on board lour only wore saved. Tho five _
female passengers were drowned, tho only
woman saved out of the six on board being ?? y
