F* A Sensible Serenade. I sint; beneath your lattice, love, sonx of great resrard lor you, Tho moon is gating rather hi^h, My voice is, too. The lakelet in deep shadow lies, l'he frogs make much hullabaloo, I think they sing a trifle hoarse, And, love, me too. The blossoms on the pumpkin Tine Aro weeping diamond tears ol dew, 'Tis warm; the flowers are wilting last. My linen, too. All motionless the cedars stand, With silent moonbeams slanting thro'; Ihe very air is drowsy, love, And 1 am, too. Ob, could I sour on loving wings, And at your window gently woo! But then your lattice you would bolt? So I'll bolt, too. And now I've done my serenade, Farewell, my best regards o you; I'll close with one (French) word lor all, A ?,1 ,*a ? George Arnold. The Favorite DaughterColor.el Morton was one of England's Indian soldiers who had attained distinction. Ho was a Companion of the Hath; and although honors are sometimes bestowed in tie neighborhood ol courts on sm>-ll pretence or upon none, the Indian officers who win the ribbon are perhaps among the most meritorious bo-;y of men in the world. And il to be brave and kindly, loynl and true, fire nivilifins wrhii-li merit the recosni ticn of authority, the colonel (!eseA*ed 'be reward he had received, and more, lie hnd married early in life and had several children, which had perhaps civen a manly pravity to his character when other youne captains of his ace were ovei-bnsy with brandy-pawnee nnd eamcs of hazard. Certain it is that his home was cited as one of the pleasnntcftand best-kept houses In Madras, when first his wife sickened, tJ;en his children. The climate cf India was not so well understood at that time as it is now; and Mrs- Morton w<ts ordered home by the local physi> cian. mo-t experienced in such cases. "You will never rear a iamuy uere," remarked the doctor, who was frequently consulted in such "mergencies. "The climate is unfavorable to the bpalth anH vi/ioroftke English race in tho second gee'-ration. Native air is the only remedy known to science, and it mu?t be taken as soon as the mischief begins. 1 had to send my wife home fast year: the best advice I ca*? give you is to follow my example." So Mi p. Morton, after some struggle with l.f-r love end pride, had to leave bcr hurbsnd. ss other ladies have done before and since, with a sore heart. But there was no help for it; the brave and loving woman remained at her post, end sxiiiVd at her own danger, so that f he ccu'd bv the side of him who wa? more than life to her. Then nature gave wrsy and broke down utterly. She and her children were pale and thin a* phantoms when they stepped on board the great ship, which was flying I the biue-r>Pter. accompanied. bv the sadfaccd mnjor of cavalry in undress uniform.

A>>outayear after Mrs- Morten had we'corned her husband to tho Hampshire rhome she had made around her, another t daughter was born to thom. She was i _ born ?it daybreak on a May morning, f,#> * and tbe happy father, who was not f-'" wanting in poetic instinct, at once gave her the name of Aurora. She was a frail, delicate child, with vroncericg blue eyes, and a transparent complexion faintly warmed by auburn i Identintwbich looked punb'.'am played amongst its silken curls. Her fragile life appeared, for years, to haneupon athread, and it was a touching eight to ?ee the bard old soicier of a hundred battlefields watching the feeble gambols of his jittle girl, and rocking her to sleep in his s!rone arms when she tired, which was very soon. He could scarcely bear to be apart (row her, and carried her about at his PfldGiC'IX^W Wlit'n lit; juuc xiuut; wc Hampshire lanes. He had her beside him playinir on a carpet when he fished fv r tr >ut. He tooit her into the lields p. ' where his hay was making. He wenl gardening ard boating on his lake witt i,?r. He was nevertirsd cf her prettj rrattU1, ard by-and-bye they began tc I - - rum!) together. .The cbiid's limbs developed intc j-iumpness smd vit:or, till by thetimeshe was u n years old she had become a wild, .> > ).'jiuti/ui b?.i<len, full of high spirits : f;d wilfulness. Siifi could ride, she V (( vId sin;.', she could dance, and was ndv lor a!i kinds of fun and frolic. . At twelve she c. uld have commanded a troop of horse, > . and knew more of military tactics from ti e colonel's talk than many a promisi ... j lDj^ WY Kl* OiWitl liUlSl< Xiuu J-.CI giauu c'.iraax was reached when Mrs. Morion, suspecting with a woman's intuition that they were too quiet to be up tc L. much good, ntolc in upon the pair one P ~ " nftcrnoon and surprised the colonel on one km e behind a serein in the library teaching his pupil the noble art of selfdefense. She had hit out, t; o. so straight : from the- shoulder, that his face resembled the family plum-dumpling which had heensetved for tifliu. That night Mrs. Morton cave her husband a curti-.in jecture, and. after nearly choking him with kisses and laughter, formally took her daughter's education out of his hards. These good people were all of soldierly tastes, and loved !v p'uek and spirit even in women. Aurora was then about, the age when s girl begins to grow shy, and clings I t kscr to her mother; so she became a prim and praiseworthy littie miss for v < vcral years, makinir progress in femiS nine ethics snd deportment in a demure, 8 decile way that was quite refreshing. B he young witch had an inborn faculty K*.-' ot charming. All she did h*.d a natural w grace an<I winsomenc~s. She showed r as great ?. taste for the accomplishments F of yonncr 'tidies as she bad don^ f r those of a diiT-irent sort. Shn learned tc done?, paint in water-color, to make I cheeses before illustrious visitors and tc wield all tt.e bright armory of youtb and loveliness as quickly ar.d well ju nhfi had learned to ride and handle s hair-trigger; and though she would ofter fay, " Mamma. I ouuht to have been ru} k, brother," she was a dainty young beautj P indeed at seventeen. She po>ses?ed especially a rcramkabh t:ilent !or sineing. There was ar untaught melody in her voice whicl was a'rucst amazing in an English girl ller sones and her sweet, pretty whims ?rd waVs were enough to charm th( heart of a cynic, and there was not i manor-hous* within twenty miles .o: yreshfields where she was not as welcome as heni'hy weather. i In her own home she wr.s li^ht, she whs joy. She gladdened the whole house ?and ruled it. She kept her father's accounts and hrr mother's kevs, oeing a shrewd little lady into the bargain; a j soldier's daughter, who knew the titness j of things, also the price of them. Ihr brothers and sisters h:*d married , ana ucnc oui into me worm, su hj!il when the colonol came home from India they were almost strangers to him; but Aurora had never been separated from him a day since her birth. She knew all the family affairs and interests and i short-eominsis from day to day. She knew of brother Tom's private; allowance from his mother to pay off his Oxford debts, and of sister Mary's quarrel with sister Jane, and how it had to be kept secret from Aunt Ilester for fear she should alter the wiil. There was also something about Jack, who was in the navy, which she only knew herself; and, indeed, she was the most experienced person in the household, having much sound counsel in her, and might have seemed to a fanciful imagination, encircled in that sterling hoiue-iovc, like a fair jewel in a golden casket. Her father's early training had taught nvt fho rvloir* trnf!)C r\f lifr* she could converse far better, and more reasonably as well, upon a greater variety of topics thanjfmost young women. To her father she was what neither man nor woman couid be but herself. She was his friend and yet his chiid, which is the tenderest of ail connections that bind together human . hearts. She knew all the strene?!' and [ weaknesses of his character, whi: ;: was , by no means pcrfcct. She govern d but she obeyed him, and his unspoken wish I was law to her proud and generous heart. [ He had accustomed her to military obedience of orders, and she would f marcii off anywhere and everywhere at the word of command with amusing | dcc'lity; for there was one thing which the colonel coum not near, ana tnai was opposition to {11*3 will. In the midst of her most wayward humors, ar.d when ; she felt elate wi:h all the royalty of her womanhood, she would not have angered him for the world. Perhaps part ot the honeyed eecret of the sympathy between them whs that 1 she had a true hero-worship for the old soldier, and fought his campaigns over and over again with him with as much pleasure as he did. Her language glowed with a poetry all her own w hen she she spoke oi her father's worth and couarg'*. She treasured up his clasps and nicuai^ as ot great nrice; his sword and sabretache were sacred in her eyes. As they talked together of sieges and of battles, of deeds of daring and victory, she looked indeed the fairest vision than , she could smile on valor when its task was done. f..i I10- ?nr mnl li^r r>rmM innlrfi up their minds to marry her, for they , knew no one worthy of her hand; and her own heart never spoke, gave in merry jests lamong the squires of the county. Lord Mallowtiejd had sidled up to her at a wonI derful bail she attended nt Cowes; Mr. 1 Dewdnry. who owned the next parish, j had been seen mooning about the lanes | every time she rode out. But his lordship wn3 a robust widower, who could J only talk intelligibly of shorthorns; and Mr. Dewduey had a head of hair which ! spemed to be on tire. So things went on. One wasdismissed with a smile, another with a sigh; but the girl made no choice till she was more than five-and-twentr, when her , mother began to look grave. "Pooh, pooh!" gr-w.ed the colonel, when his wife broached the subject, 'Quemie' can marry hall England when she pleases." He would never allow treason to be spoken against his darling; and, indeed, he was constant) v dodged about the cqVr i ert side on hunting-days b>< , admirer's, who only waVrrrflvword of | encouragement to j&biare themselves, p??jJttrsT Morton'was silenced but not con. vinced. and she next spoke to the young . lady herself; but her daughter only blushed a little and declared that her , home was too nice to run away from it. " Humnb!" said her mother, drvlv. About this time Miss Morton, who . had been reading a great deal concernj ing artistic furniture, imbibed a taste [ for house decoration, and not hing would f serve her but that the ceiling of her , own room should bo painted with an ' elaborate device of her own inagming. , Her design was appropriate and well I chosen, but far too complicated for any , of the local workmen. so the colonel j wrote to one of the great firms in Lon. don to send down a special artist. A lew days afterward there arrived a . youug artist with the appearance of an Italian gentleman and the manners of I , good society. He spoke with a, foreign j , accent, but he also spoke perfectly good j English, and lie was introduced to the ' colonel as the most expert decorator i known in the business. I When tjie awkwardness of having so i | smart a laborer about the house had a j little -warn off, lie was supplied witn tne | necessary materials for his task, and \ then, day after day, might be ser-n lyins : on a sort of cradle he had made with ropes to a scaffolding set up in Miss MortonV. Drivate room. She folly explained her plan to him, and she saw with delight that he was working it out with a brilliancy and elegance such as she had scarcely dared to expect. Whenever she looked at his work as it went on she felt a new sur-1 prise and enchantment. His name was Carmelo Williams, he j said, for his mother only was Italian; j and he wa^ not offensively garrulous in any way. I?ut he had dark, lustrou3 I eyes, and a soft, cxressing voice, which i gave extraordinary expression and even j pathos to his language. When he was alone lie sane?sang with a marvelous i melody which comca only of inborn { genius. Aurora listened, at first timidly and furtively, then entranced; then, heaven i know?, perhaps magnetized. It was | beautiiul summer weather. The rose and lilac were ablossom and ablow, the i scent of the lush woodbine came with an intoxicating odor through the windows, and those wondrou* songs of the i i youne painter made the air alive with > music. > 1 She fled with him before his fask was I over; and they were married. Married i in Scotland, at a border village; and when the willful thing was done the , p-irl found, on her return to the inn where r they had halted, a newspaper which , told of her father's sudden and dangerous iilne?s. , The colonel's anguish had, indeed, , been terrible, and when ho knew exactly what had happened he had fallen down | as a stricfee:i stag might do. and now i hovered between life and death. ! "1 must go nome at once.- sain me ! girl to her newly-made husband; and I there was a decided ring in her voice ; which permitted no dispute "You j must remain here, sir, till I send for you I or come to you." The painter had no time to gasp out , his astonishment, for before ho could i protest she was gone; and, taking the , j tirst train, she never stopped in her , | journey till she kneeled in her bridal, ! dress, all disarranged, at her father's ,; feet. , j He had rallied partly, and he, with J her mother, sat hand-in-hand, their [ j faces very pale and wan. A big tear |j from thn old soldi rV fyrs fell upon lier j forehead like molten lire. ,| "Oh papa! papa!" sue cried, in a I < very ecstasy of grief, " I am come homo! I I will nevrr leave it again. J have ! married him because I knew he wouid ;! never dare to contradict you!" Beauty Beforo Age, An amusing incident occurred on a Cleveland street car the other day. A woman of fifty, made up to look about twenty-five years old, got aboard at a crossing to lind every scat occupied. I She stood for a moment and then select! ing a poorly-dressed man about forty| five years of aije she observed: "Are there" ?ny gentlemen on the ! car P" i ,f Indeed, I djnno,"he replied, as he i looked up and down. " If there hain't, i and you are going clear through, I'll s hunt up one for you at the end of the > line." i There was an embarrassing silence for i a moment, and then a light broke in on i him all of a sudden, and lie rose and 3aid: r "You can have this seat, madam. I j am always perfectly willing to stand up and give my seat to anybody older than > myself." t That decided her. She gave him a ( look which he will not forgot to his . dyins day, and grabbing the strap, she j refused to sit down, even when five 5 seats Lad become vacant. f Eighteen hundrodnnd eighty-one does . not resemble a pair of lovers on a sofa beeause there is one at each end.

One of the best plaus " of treatment is the following: OAUGLli. Cliloiato ol pota?9!i, 2 drachms. n Ilot wu'er, G ounces. c a 4 drachma. Creosote, 8 drops. h Muriatic acid, 30 drops.

Sl The principal point is to lind out l; what will destroy the bacteria. Tannin ft will kill them in two hours. A solution e of copperas, that is sulphate of iron, i will kill them; also chlorine water and t, dilute muriatic, sulphuric and nitric a acids. If copperas js used as a garble it p should not be used stronger than a piece p half as lare;c as a nutmeg, dissolved in a t pintol water; or a level teaspoonlul ot t tannin dissolved in a teaspoonful of ^ warm water.

It is a more dimple 2 method ol applying these remedies, and j, would be more iikely to reach further a down the throat and to remain longer r in contact with the diseased surface than j when applied in gardes or swallowed. a These remedies are powerful to cure p in proportion to the promptness with c which they are used.?HaWs Journal of ?

The fur- t rows which it makes stand up like the I rib* of a lean horse in the month of c March. Six of these plows cost me on ii an average $5 each per annum to keep 2 the shares and coulters sharp, while the P other parts cost $1 more, making $0 for I each plow." c The implement in use on my t i father's farm in my boyhood was of t | this description, made by the neighbor- ^ ing carpenter and blacksmith. It rc- v quired a team of eight oxen to draw it, n with a man riding on the beam to keep, ^ it in the ground, another to follow with a o ! mattock to improve its imperfect work. r The first c.ist-iron plows made their u appearance about 1835. There was a ti strong prejudice against them on the P | part of the farmer?a prejudice due a i wholly to ignorance. It was said that i P ' cast-iron would poison the ground. a About the year 1840 plows mnde g their appcarance which were constructed h with the best lines of draft T From that time to the present a host si of farmers and mechanics have set them- sv selves to improve this implement of c husbandry, till at last we have the gang ei plow on iho Western prairie, drawn by four horses, plowing five acrcs a day, v the plowman no loncer walking, but y riding?a monarch driving his team If afield. a In 166Gthc New York State Apricul- n tural society conducted a series of trials s: to ascertain what lines of draft offered ft tho least resistance, and what form of c plow would do the best work. In their ti report it is stated that improvements to ^ that date had decreased the cost of plow- n ing at least forty-two pir cent. Since that report there has been a great ad- 1< vaneeinthec onomies of husbandry. li It is estimated that tho improvements P have decreased the cost of plowing not ri less than sixty per cent, during the ccn-1 c tury. The entire acrcage under the | P ; plow, in the United States in 1678, is f: ! pstimatPd sit 140.000.000 acres. If WO I assume that it cost one dollar per acre j to plow land, and if the saving over I former methods is even fifty pc-r cent., p j we find it equivalent to ?70,600,000. So ti | much por annum which invention is ]| accomplishing in this line of husbandry. f( j The great want ot the agriculturist to- t] I day is the steam plow, or some method r ; by which plowing can be done more ex- p } neclitiously tlmn with horses. I trust, j] however, that no one in this audience j p i will rush hurriedly to invent a plow to u ! he driven by steam. h I I saw a steam plow in Illinois, upon a ; which mnny thousands of dollars had j] i been expended, but which was so cum- s i bersome that it could not be made to c I work. I saw a steam machine in Cali- a I fornia,in 1863, which cost 840,000; by 0 i the aid of horses it went once arross a '| I Held ana then whs thrown asiae. i saw f( ! another in Minnesota.in 167u, which Imd ^ ! cost $25,000, and which alter a few trials t ; \vft3 broken up for oid iron. Two gen- t i tlemon in England have spenteach move r ! than m quarter of a million dollars in g ! the attempt to produce a steam plow \ i which would traverse the field, but j I have not succeeded. The steam plow ^ , in use in Enyiand is drawn by a station- ^ i :iry engine using a wire rope. It is not t so economical as horse power, but a t larger acreage can be put in per day.

H FARMIVtt ON A BIG SCALE. he LarKcat liriiin Field lit the Worldand IIo-.v It is Man aged. Mr. William F. Iralryrnple, who, with is brother owns the largest wheat farm i the world, near Fargo.

The wheat had yield\ at the rate of twenty-three ushel9 to the acre, in the aggregate ver 500,000 bushels, wliich had been ispoHCil of in Buffalo at a clear profit f over half a dollar a bushel?thus laking the profit of the farm for the car over $250,000. This, he said, was uveral times what the land had cost, "he wheat had been loaded on the cars irectly on being threshed and taken to >aluth, whence it wa3 shipped to Buftlo, where it sold at an .average price f nearly SI.25 a bushel. The freight :om Fargo to Buffalo had not much Greet ded twenty cents per bushel. The ost price of raising the wheat to the ime of loading it in the cars Had been Ity cenls a bushel. When asked whether his system of farming would ot eventually run out the land, he relied that it would noi necessarily, since s soon us the land showed signs of dccriorating it could he changed into pasurea, and would be better than new round for the purpose, as it would iave become solid from the cultivation. 'arL of the farm his been under cul'.iation live years, and thin had yielded otter than the newer land. The only xuit the iand has at tirst is that it is 30 rich, and it is, of course, an improvelent to it to rcauce its fertility to a ertain extent. During the past year, he said, they ad not broken quite as much iand as sual, only 4,000 acres. Previously beweer. 5.000 and 6,000 acres h?.d been roken annually, and it was the intenion to continue breaking at this rate ntil the whole 75,000 acres of land rhich they owned should have been roughr, urnler cultivation, or as much of : as could be spared from meadows, rhich would be needed to supply the orses used m wording tnc larrn. xnese t present number 400, and wiil probably lave to increase with the growth of the tirm, as it was quite doubtful if steam ouid be made to take their place, "his has been done successfully in tireshing, straw being used as fuel, but .11 attempts to plow with the sleau^ 'lows manufactured in this country had roven failures, chietiv, lie thought, beauae ihcy are operated on t ie locomoive plan and are not adapted to the triable condition ol the soil, and are tioru expensive than horses. In Eng and the plows are drawn by stationary ngines with chain attached, and ho heieves that if steam plowing can be aade practicable on his farm it is in this ?ay. The experiment will be made his year, but he doubted whether it 7oultl be found prolitable, as horses vould still be required on the farm .for utting grain and hauling it to market. The litrm is divided into tracts of ,000 acres each, and each of these tracts a provided with a set of farm buildings, ,nd is presided over by a foreman, who eceives a salary of $100 per month durog the working season, or $1,000 per nnum, whiie ordinary laborers ure aid $18 per month. Me has exclusive havgc of his tract, and is held responible for its management. It had been ound that a spirit of emulation arises ictween the dillerent foremen, and they .re usually as anxious lor a heavy yield ?f grain as though they owned the land, "here is no opportunity left, however, or peculation on the pai t of the foremen, s three sets of books are kept and other irpcmitinns tnkpn to prevent anything 1 ike kind.

Hi3 /arm is situated n the valley of the Red River of the forth, which empties into Lake Winning and on the linn of the Northern 'acific railway. This valley, iie said, ontains an area of wheat land fully hrc-e times as large as Wisconsin, wh::le o the northward of this, in British Lmorica, is the valley olthe Saskatcbejan, with an area of 4d0,000 square ailes, or more than ten times that of Jew York State and fully three-fourths f which is well adapted for wheat aising. Throughout this whole extent f territory the climate and soil are all liat could be desired, and the wheat roduced is the finest in the world, being ii "liarci ' ana coaimuuumg uicu^u<.DK vice. The climate is cool in summer ad dry after harvest, so that the two reatest dangers to wheat raising and arvesting?heat and rain?are escaped, 'he outlet for this immense region, he lid, would be by way of Lake Superior, tid there is nu piobability that it will vcr, to any great extent, be shipped to ither Milwaukee or Chicago. He stated that the heavy rate of profit rhich his farming operations had ielded the preseut year were due, in a irge measure, to the .size of his farm, nd that small farming c-uld not be lade to pay as well, there being the arne gain of profit in running a large irm over a small one that there is in onducting a larse manufacturing esabflfehment compared with a small ne, and to the fact that iris land is imlediately on the line of the railroad, and lie gruin did not need any storage, being >aded on the cars at once. Still, he beeved that grain can be raised at a good vntft, nnvv/bere throughout the tract sfcrrcd to, unci stated"that when he e.nbcs to clear more than live dollars er acre yearly he wiil do no more inning. Danger in Eating Quail# A recent issue cf the Washington Re* ublican says: A Republican repre3entaivc ran against a well-known Nimrod ist night, who whispered to him the allowing story: " It will be recollected bat at the time Buchanan was inaususitcd a large number of persons were oisonedata certain prominent Washogton hotel. The winter immediately receding the inauguration was an unisually hard one. The proprietor of the iotel, to please his guests, had procured, s is stated, all the quail in the surroundng country. These birds had been rvlimt Jl.nl-.lhpu wptp Lai VA.U IU ?UV,U fill VAUVUU. i/imnwuvj w??, ompelled to feed upon poisonous beiries nU leaves until their llesh became thorughly permeated with the poison, .'he birds have been starved or weeks, and are now feeding ipou such berries and buds as make heir llesh poisonous. The deep snows ntlie country prevent the birds from tceiving their usual sustenance Jrom eed and the san-'s or small gravel vhich assist in digesting and assimilatng the same, an . constquentlv they are (riven to those modes of sustaining lile vhich, while they may be useful to hemselves for the time being, render heir llesh highly injurious to human >eings as an article oi food.

When girls assume a swaggering runner upon the street, use coarse expresions and greet each other with a rough hello!' they cannot expect much dc'reneo from their uiale lriend3. A idy's manner always controls that of a entleman; and if ?he does not reject erself he will not rcspect her. When oy3 and girls, young men and maidens, re allowed to fail into the absurdities f low, foolish, meaningless talk, it serns to dwarf them intellectually; hey can find nothing ot interest or imortance to say, and therefore make up jtsense by filling every sentence with eedless exblamations, exaggerations, r misused adjectives. It require- much atience to be compelled to listen to half dozen folks and hear the r. trance, inppropriate use of language. They will ssure each other that it is "awfui" /arm, or the concert "awful" nice; the ermon "horrid" dull; a young lady is awful'' pretty," but her dress is "Jiorid ugly;" the teacher " horrid strict," uch a young gentleman who called had n "awul sweli" team of fast horses. If oung people could hear themselves as Ihers hear them, it might result in icir reformation. SUMMARY OF NEWS. Eastern and Middle St ates.

Last autumn, while watching some piders spinning tlieir beautiful geonetrical webs, it occurred to me to try vhat effect a tuning fork would have ii iponthem.
