E^&n article by the Rev. F. Bay ford llarVrison
on "Churchyard roetry," in
B^rhich he presents a great many curius
specimens gathered from out-of-the&?

some instances:
It seems hardly fair to place on the

If'V In a cemetery near Windsor tlrts
verse of holy scripture appears on a
i-' headstone beneath the name of a man
who died, advanced in years:
"Behold, I come as a thief."
Given thus without any coutext, the
first suggestion is that the deceased
i- says to the passer-by: " Behold, I come
j?- as a thief!" One requires some time
and some thought fully to take in the
object of this epitaph, "if one may call
|b it so; which is, doubtless, to act as a
*r" warning to those now living, as we
may suppose it once acted to the dead
& man at our feet.
Of a lawyer his tombstone bore tes*
timony to his unprofessional conduct
by recording that he was "so great a
lover of peace that when a contention
arose between life and death, lie immediately
yielded up the ghost to end
the dispute."
A Mr. Charles Lamb, not the Elia
P'- with whom and for whom we have
laughed and wept, sleeps beneath an
epitaph of which even the authors of
the words of comic songs might be
ashamed:
Here lies the body of poor Charles Lamb,
Killed by a tree that fell slap bang.
Who will not wonder at and admire
; the skill, the originality, of the genius
f whose brain furnished him with the
^ means of putting into verse the sad
g-_ event whtch he has thus recorded?
The wedding day appointed was,
The wedding clothes provided;
But ere the wedding day arrived
She sickened and she died dead.
After this instance of a poet's ingenuity
in overcoming the exigencies
? and difficulties of rhyme, it may be as
"well to point out how another genius
? did not overcome, but evaded, similar
^difficulties. The following appears in
churchyard in Devonshire, and I)ev^/onahire
men pride themselves on their
indomitable energy and pluck:
Here lies John Meadow
Who passed away like a shadow.
N. B. His name was Field, .
but it would not rhyme.
This is really very neat, and much
y more worthy of record than any coup?Vjet
ending in shield, yield or wield
ggirould have been. Here is an epitaph
" of which the leading idea is so uncomxnon
yet so true, that it is well worth
reproducing:

Has the least to pay.
Another quaint conceit was the inacription
in memory of " Mr. Thomas

. ; the spotted veil of the smallpox yielded
??Up a pure and unspotted soul to God,
K'?pecting but not fearing death."

THE FARM AM) HOUSEHOLD.
ThsvGot Thermometer*.
"Some years ago," says the Derbyshire
Advertiser," I)r. Voelcker gave a
lecture on cheese-making to a number
of farmers' wives and dairy-women.
At the close of his remarks a lady said:
* What you tell us is all very well, but
can you make a cheeseV* 'Yes, I
think I can,' he answered, * but at any
rate I will try if I have a fair chance,
and see the thing done from beginning
to end. The produce of a great many
cheese dairies is spoiled by the cows
being milked with dirty hands, and so
forth.' 4 Very well,' said the doubt
ing cheese-maker, 4 if you will come I |
will send to the station for you.' A
date was agreed upon, ;ind at half-past
o on a cold morning the farmer's wife
sent her trap for the doctor, who was
then residing in the neighborhood. So
lie got up and drove five miles to see
the cows milked. "When the rennet
was about to be put in he asked her
whether the temperature was right,
whereupon she dipped in her hands
and said, 'Yes, I think that will do.'
The doctor, however, inserted the
thermometer, and found that it was
just ten degrees lower than it ought to
be. Hereupon her husband, a smoothfrocked
farmer, who was standing by,
said: 'Ah, Sally! I tell you, you
have spoiled many a cheese for me by
feeling the milk with your hands, instead
of testing it with the instrument.'
At last a large cheese was
made and marked, and when sold
fetched more money than the good
woman had been in the habit of getting.
After this nearly all the farmers
in the neighborhood presented their
wives with a thermometer apiece."

Clover is sown, as a rule, early in the
spring, whether with some grain crop,
the cultivated grasses or as a crop by
itself. A practice common in the
Northern States is to sow clover on
late snows in March or April.
The analysis of red clover indicates
what manures will increase its growth.
It contains from thirty-two to thirtyfour
per cent, of lime and about the
same per cent, of potash, with nine to
ten per cent, of phosphoric acid, magnesia,
etc. As lime enters so largely
into its composition, lands deficient in
this respect require generous applications
of lime. Deficient soils are also
benefited by gypsum (sulphate of lime),
the phosphates and wood ashes. Common
stable manure, containing as it
does all the elements of a good fertilizer,
is also suitable as a top dressing
for any pasture or meadow.
While gypsum is not always a success
on ordinary soils, sown broadcast
at the rate of one to three hundred
bushels after the leaves are developed,
it seldom fails to promote a remarkable
growth of stem and leaves. Experiments
made by Dr. Pincus, of Germany,
regarding the action of gypsum on clover
made it appear that the sulphates
check the development of the (lowers
and also of the seed, from which he
inferred that, while the application of
gypsum is favorable to a large increase
in the yield of hay, it is not favorable
to the development of the seed crop.
Commissioner Killebrew, of Tennessee,
says he has rarely found benefit from
the top-dressing of gypsum on clayey
loams; its effects have always been apparent
on a strong limestone soil. In
a dry season gypsum is undoubtedly
beneticial on all soils, and it always
serves a good end in its highly stimulating
effects on well-restored lands
where there is a good coat of clover.
Bones are also an invaluable aid to
clovers, their leading elements being
lime and phosphoric acid; nitrogen is
also abundant. A dressing of bone
dust will often quite restore old pastures
which have been long cropped
and the phosphate of lime exhausted.
Grasses are greatly benefited by wood
ashes. Atop-dressing of ashes may
be applied to grass on all kinds of soil
with the assurance that they will pay
the expense attending the application.
For permanent mowing lands ashes
are advised when they can be obtained
in sufficient quantity.
Coarse manures ought not to be
thrown on clover, as they are liable to
injure the plants. An excellent topdressing
for meadows, to be applied ]
after the last cutting or in the spring,
when the soil is poor, is barnyard manure
composted with muck, peat, 1
leaves, sod, potato tops and other per- j
ishahle vpsretable matter.

Professor Levi Stockbridge.of Massachusetts.
after a series of experiments '
with mineral manures at the Agricultural
college at Amherst, prepared the
following formula for a fertilizer to be
sown on clover?broadcast?in the
early spring to induce an increased
yield: Nitrogen, forty-three pounds; :
potash, forty pounds; and phosphoric
acid, eleven pounds. These materials i
he advised to be supplied in the form
of sulphate of ammonia, twenty-four
percent, dry salt, 215 pounds; muriate
potash, eighty per cent, dry salt, eighty
pounds; superphosphates, eighty
pounds. This amount was designed
for one acre.?New York World.

Scions for grafting may be cut any
time after the leaves fall and before
the buds swell in the spring. If cut
in the fall or winter, they should be
kept in a damp place.
Where grapes are inclosed in pape

To cnrp warts nn rows' bacrs II. fr
Abbott, of Maine, recommends to
saturate them three times a week with

The watering of pot plants requires
special care. As a rule water should
be used at a temperature not lower
than that of the surrounding atmosphere,
and preferably after exposure
for some time to the air.
There is little, if any, fertilizing
value in coal ashes. Applied to a clay
soil in large quantities, they render it
lighter and more porous, allowing air
and sunshine to penetrate more freely.
For this purpose they are much used
by gardeners.
The absorption that takes place by
means of the root is principally, though
not exclusively, that of fluids, while
the absorption that takes place
through the agency of the leaf is
chiefly, though not entirely, that of
gaseous matters.

Professor Bessy, of the Iowa Agricultunil
college, says that no application
to wheat before heading will prevent
smut, as the disease is an internal

will be greatly lessened.
A French chemist reports that water

In pruning trees all stems half an
inch or more in diameter should be
covered with some waterproof substance
like grafting wax or shellac, of
the consistency of cream. The bark
and outer wood will thus bo preserved,

this precaution be not taken the end
of the branch will decay from exposure
to wind, rain, heat and cold.
A mixture of beeswax, melted with
twice as much olive oil, smeared while
warm, over fresh eggs will keep them
well for a year. Eggs thus prepared

best of all, and those of them put
down in weak brine, in which they
sink to the bottom, keep better than
others packed in dry salt or in plaster.
There is a (Jernian preparation of salt,
saltpeter and borax, which will keep

The Doom of Steam.
"Whatever else may survive in the
future J.)r. Siemens is certain that the
steam engine is doomed. Its fate is
first to be confined to the driving of
large dynamo machines, which will
distribute force at present supplied by
a myriad of small and wasteful engines,
and then to be superseded altogether
by the gas engine. Gas and
electricity may be mutually hostile,
but they are to unite their forces in
order to extirpate the steam engine.
The unpardonable sin of the steam engine
is that of waste. Even the best
of them consume two pounds of coal
per horse-power per hour, whereas, says
J)r. Siemens, when the gas-producer
has taken the place of the complex and
dangerous steam boiler it will not take
one pound of coal to develop one
horse-power for an hour. But before
gas banishes steam it will supersede
coal as the agent for the development
of steam. A pound of gas gives forth
exactly twice the heat of a pound of
coal, and even this may be improved
upon. To burn raw coal is to squander
our inheritance. Dr. Siemens
gives some startling figures to prove
that the by-products of the coal annually
used in gas-making are worth
three millions sterling more than the
coal used in producing them, without
allowing anything for the value of the
gas. Besides the products already
utilized, 120,000 tons of sulphur are
now wasted every year, which may yet
be converted into a source of income.
By abolishing the use of raw
coal. Dr. Siemens maintains that
science, with some magician's
wand, will "banish the black
pall of smoke which hangs over our
great cities, and restore to them pure
air, bright sunshine and blue skies."
Vrwi-oVioii wo pvpn h.ivft to suffer as
compensation for the multiplication of
enormous gasometers. The coal will
be converted into gas a1, the bottom of
the mine- a prospect not altogether to
be contemplated without alarm by the
workers in fiery seams?and the gas
carried by pipes wherever it is wanted.
Electricity will also be made largely
serviceable for the distribution of power.
Even after allowing fifty per cent,
for loss in transmission, the gain is
still chiefly confined to lighting public
places. The gaslight will hold its own
as the "poor man's friend," and gasheating
will become universal. Thus
in the near future Dr. Siemens unfolds
before our eyes a world in which there
will be no smoke and no steam, and
where coal will only be visible in the
immediate vicinity of the pit. Electricity
will light our streets, gas will
cook our dinners, and driving power
will be laid on by wire wherever it is
wanted. There will be no pollution of

which have converted whole counties
into scenes of dark desolation will be

A Terrible Panic of the PastOne
of the most disastrous panics
ever known in New York occurred in
October, 1853. Thomas F. Harrison,
at present assistant superintendent of
the New York grammar schools, but
at that time a principal in one of the
high schools in that city, thus describes
it:
The school-house in which the
panic occurred was in Gretawich
avenue, near Jefferson market. The
building was four stories in height,
and contained at the time 1,500 children
in the several grades. The girls' department
was upon the second floor.
One afternoon in October, mv sister.
Abby Harrison, who was at that time
the principal of the department, was
conducting a recitation in the furthest
class-room. Calling a little girl to her
side, she told her to go out and get her
a glass of water. The child hurried
out into the next room and said in
passing that Miss Harrison wanted
some water. Some one said "Fire,"
and in a minute all were in confusion.
The children rushed toward the stairway.
Unfortunately the doors of the
school-house swung inward. The
children crowding up against them
were not able to force them open.
The railing gave way, and in a moment
the children, pushed by those behind
them, were forced over the edge into
the well below. Down they fell, one
after the other, until there was a pile
of them not less than twelve feet high.
Fifty of them were killed. The shock
to the principals of both the male and
female departments was so great that
they died within three minutes after
the accident.

Tho Hon. Peter Bowe is sheriff of the
city and county of New York. Recently,
in conversation with one of our reporters,
Mr. Bowe proclaimed the following
fact: "I consider St. Jacobs Oil an excellent
remedy, and one that ought certainly
to find its way into every household.
Mrs. Bowe always has a bottle
of it there, and makes a family remedy
of it."?New York Evening Telegram.

I write to tell you what your " Favorite Prescrintion

thing do me so much good in my life. I advise
every sick lady to take it.

"Was Last, but Is Found."
Under date of July 9,1882, E. B. Bright, of
Wind?nr Trfvlrq. CV?nn.. writes a plain, modest
narrative, whicf), from its very simplicity, has
the true ring of fine gold. He says: "My
father is using Hunt's Remedy and seems to
be improving, in fact, he is very much better
than he has been for a long time. He had been
tapped three times. The first time they got
from him sixteen quarts of water, the secdnd
time thirteen quarts, and fully as much more
the third time, and he would constantly fill up
again every time after he had been tapped,
until he commenced using Hunt's Remedy,
which acted like magic in his case, as He
begun to improve at once, and now his
watery accumulation passes away through
the secretions naturally, and he has none of
that swelling or filling up which was so
frequent before the functions of the kidneys
were restored by the use of Hunt's Remedy.
He is a well-known citizen of this place, and
has always been in business here."
Again lie writes, November 27,1882;
"I beg most cheerfully and truthfully to
state, in regard to Hunt's Remedy, that its
use was the saving of my father's life. I
spoke to you in my previous letter in regard
to his being tapped three times. It is the
most remarkable case that has ever been
heard of in this section. For a man of his
years (sixty years) it is a most remarkable
cure. He had been unable to attend to his
business more than a year, and was given up
by the doctors. The first bottle of Hunt s
Remedy that he used gave instant relief. He
has used in all seven bottles, and continues
to use it whenever he feels drowsy or sluggish,
and it affords instant relief. He is now
attending to his regular business and has been
