THE LETT EBB A? SCHOOL. One ds/ the letteia went to kthool, And tried to lenrn enoli other ; The/ got so mixed 'twas really hard Te pick out fron t'other, ^ A went in first, and Z went last, The rest were all between tbeui? K L and M and N O 1'. 1 wish you could have seen them T B C 1) E ind J EI Soon jostled with their betters ; U K S T I grieve to say? Were very naughty letters. Of course, ore long, they came to words? What else could be expected t 'Till K made D J C and T Decidedly dejected. Now through it all the consonants Were rudest and uncouthest, While all the pretty vowel girls Were certainly the smoothest, Hut simple U kept far from Q, With face demure and moral, " Because," she said, '"we are, we two, So apt to star# a quarrel " Cried A, "Now E ami C come here ! If but i will aid a minute, Wood 1' will join in making peace, I lr nlun (list m i???!? iof u iti it " And .smiling E tlic ready sprite, Said, "Yes and count ine double,'' This done, peace shone o'er llis scene, And gone was all the trouble I .Meanwhile when U and I* made up, The cons'nants looked about them And kissed the vowels, for, you see, They couldu't do without them. German Millet.?This choico aud most valuable seed is rapidly attaining a popularity unprecedented in this country by any ot the grasses. The yield, both of hay and seed is immense, and it is considered by those who raise it as a more profitable crop than cottou, requiring only about ouu-half the labor. It will produce to the acre, from three to four tons of rich, succulcut, juicy hay, which all kinds of slock devour greedily. It will produce from fifty to eighty bushels of seed to the ajrc if sown on ground properly prepared, and in the right season. It is universal iu its adaptation to almost to any soil or climate, making a fine crop on comparatively poor upland, and growing luxuriantly on rich bottom land. It will stand very dry weather better than any species or variety of Millet, and flourishes with viiror and ranidilv of orowth un u i v c | c(|Ualled in the extreme South as well as in the Northern ami Western States. In the South, it sown early, two crops can be gathered in oue season from the same ground. Stock can be fattened and raised on this feud aloue without any other hay or grain. In the Southern States especially this grass is most valuable, as it matures in about sixty days, and if sowed early enough, will bring in a splendid crop of hay just when it is needed, (dunng the cultivating season,) and will, to a great exteut. take the place of corn, (which always couiuiauds such high prices at that time of year,) in feeding stock, a ltd if used in connection with corn will keep horses, mules and eattle healthy and iu good condition, ftvry planter should bow a few acres iu German Millet, for hay. It will pay you an hundred fold ! When a crop of hay is desired the seed should be sown "broadcast"?one bushel to the aero?and the hay cut while in bloom, while the seed is still iu the milky state, and the stalks and leaves are tender, or as soon as the head is formed. * If you wish to save it for seed, drill it in rows about IS inches apart, and let it get fully ripe before cutting. From one peck to a half bushcl^to the acre is sufficient iti "drills," Cultivate by plowing as you would drilled corn. - . What tiik Kaii.hoad Tiiai.v Sinus.? hying broad awake in a berth of a sleeping car, says llrctt llarte, 1 could not help making some observations which I think arc not noticed by the day traveler. First, that the speed of a train is not equal or continuous. That at certain times the engine apparently starts up, and says to the baggage train behind it: "Come, come, this won't do! Why, it's nearly half-past two; how shall we get through ? Don't you talk to uie. Pooh ! pooh !" delivered in that rythmical fashion which all meditation assumes on a railway train. Exempliyratia : One night, having raised my window curtain to look over a moonlit snowy landscape, as I pulled it down the lines of a popular comic song flashed across me. Fatal error ! The train instantly took it up, and during the rest of the night I was haunted by this awful iefraiu : "Full down the bel lind, pull down the beMiud ; somebody's klink klink. O don't be shoo-shoo!" Naturally this differs on different railways. On the New York Central, where the road bed is quite perfect and the steel rails continuous, 1 have heard this irreverent train give the words of a certain popular revival hymn after this fashion : "Hold the fort, for I am Sankcy, Moody slingers still, wave the swish swosh back from klinky, klitiky. klutiky kill." On the Now York and New Haven, where there arc many switches, and the engine whistles at every cross road. 1 have often heard : Tommy, make room for your whoopy ! that's a little clang, bumpity bumpity boopy, clikitty clikitty, clang." Foetry, I fear, fared little better. One starlit night, coming from (Quebec, ar. wo slipped by a virgin forest, the opening lines o! Kvatigcliiic flashed upon me. Hut all I could make oi them was this: "This is this forest prim-eval-cval ; the groves of tho pines and the hem-loeks-lockslocks-locks-loooock !" The traiu was only "slowing" or "braking" up at a station. Hence the jar in the meter. A party who recently lectured in Denver appeared to L*c somewhat dissatisfied with his rsccption. "Did you have a large audit noo ? asked a sympathetic tViend. "No; the authorities having neglected to close the saloon*. there was uot inuchof an attendance " An old colored preacher was lecturing a youth of his fold about the sin of dancing, whoa the Jatt? r protested that the Bible plainly said. 'J here i? a time to dance.'? 'Veti dar am a time to dance,' said the dark divine, 'and it's when a hoy gits a whip pin' for gwine to a ball.' * ? A viiiage cony rogation in Vermont was 0 fciurbcd the oth? r Sunday during the mo 1 11. W-.ry sliili.ifollowing the opening p'v.er by a voice fr'm tbe adjoining dwell ' iin'i. f : Miry wbt r?'s tbe nails?" / .o t;.?; answer came : In the cotlec pot, 1 you fool " 1 AN ELECTIONEERING DODGE BY - S w J.
