Thou canst not bring him back, again give o'er! | 'Twcre vain to wish it, thou canst ne'er restore Thy loved one to this world's life, and 'twere vain To wish hiin back to this sad earth-again. Yet may wc all iudulgo the silent tear : Hrcallie out the weary sigh ; nor have a fe ir, Thou may st do aughtthat is forbid. Christ wept At the grave of l.asarus, who had slept l^our days the sleep of death ; his spirit fled, YVtl doubted not that sister when lie said, "Thy brother shall arise again," nor doubt Thine own dear brother shall arise from out Ii is clay-cold tenement, his narrow grave, Where now he li<j, wheu Christ shall come to ? save All those who trusted in his grace and micrht. And beautiful, liis raiment pure and white As the driven snow, washed In the precious btood Of Jesus, w ho forus was slain. The goed Die, and Heavenward are borne, while the bad Arc left to wear a life out, slow and sad. 'Then wherefore mourn the lot of him that's gono. He's happier far than thee he's left alone. "He is not dead," he has but charged his home, His dwelling-place is Hcavon's eelestial dome, Ganst doubt it ? You, who gazed on that sweet face, Dids't see one mark of anguish? One faint trace Of pride er passion oil his noble brow? Deceit, untruth or cowardice? Oh, no! That faco was just iu life as 'twas in death. Wc might believe he slept, cams but the breath From out those parted lips, his manly breast Upheaving; one might think he did but rest, 1 'Twas ever so ; ami all who knew him loved. 1 And were beloved by him ; his life but proved j A mirror of his soul, pure, undefilcd? In heart a man, in ' 1 - - HOW TO CATCH A BXAU. 1 Little lady, do you ask me | How to catch a beau ? Surely you, a winsome lassie? Surely you should know. Let me tell yon, en passant, That there nrc many ways, Hut I will only mention to you Those that win men's praise. When your friend drops in to see you, 1 Greet with happy face, Laugh and sparkle brightly l With your rarest grace; Hut, with all your pleasant humor. Though you wear fine lace, Ne'er forget your mother's labors And her careworn face. Learn to labor?help your mother In the household cares? Learn to hake, to cook anil iron ; Don't lenrn iille airs. 1 True, a man does not deserve you If he'd make you slavo ; Hut recollect that men, tho' rich, Love women who can save. I Learn to be a good, true women ; Master every art I That' to home and those you love best Pleasure can impart : , School your mind and heart anil fingers, Learn what you should know, And then you need ne'er ask the question f How to catch a beau ? - Swkf.t Potato ks.?Atul now for the a potato patch, as we call it. Plough your intended potato patch two or three times, be- r fore setting out draws, having it in rows.? t Plough and reverse, getting tho soil in fine t tilth. When the time is near for setting out, take a single shovel plow, open your t beds to the depth ot three inches, put a lit- ^ tic pure stable manure in the trench, and 1 await the rain. If the rain does not come, set out with water?half a pint to each hill ?the earth being pressed firmly around < the potato root, and a little dry earth sprink- | led arcund the top ground. Next is the setting out?some say one foot, some say two feet, apart; I say four inches. The best ' cultivation is to plough your potatoes all the time, pulling the earth up around the little plants with the hoe the first working. Never bar oft', thereby saving the small roots which make potatoes, and saving one-half the ploughing. In 187G, I made 150 bushels sweet potatoes on one-half acre of land by this mode?giving one hoeing, or pulling up with the hoc and two ploughing^ to the potatoes.?17. L Tanner. -Chicken Cholera.?For a few years my chickens died so rapidly that I abandoned all care of them, thinking it labor lost. In 1872 I commenced feeding with air slacked lime; I lost a very few that summer. In the summers of 1873 and 1S74 I lost none at all by that disease. I put half a pint in a vessel and filled it with water (or uiilk if I had it) and put it for them to drink. As they drink off the top I fill it up again.? Sometimes T mix a half pint with a peck of 6tirred-up feed and give them. The lime also helps to form the shell for laying hens. I give them iime two or three times a month and always when I see any signs of the disease. I raised about twenty dozen last summer, and healthier, brighter-looking chickens I never owned.?Indiana. Farmer. t ? Low Rent for Farms.?New England farmers must have a hard row to weed in this life. The majority ot them arc tenants, and a Boston paper says, the land of moral ideas is dotted all over with farms that have c been run down by two or three successive generations of owners who have rented to changing tenants until at present hundred- ( acre farms are everywhere in market to rent | at, one dollar an 'lore or sometime* for Jess , j hat paper flays, "the pastures will summer 1 two or three cows ami a horse poorly, and ( the upland fields and lowland swales will s cut hay enough for a winter supply for the f same number of animals, leaving a ton or < two of the best to be sold iu market towards 1 paying the rent." What farm in the South i ........^t ,1/, <*,>? t-in?li nwnnr finrl tnn.'inf i than these New Kuglaud farms? The inundation of 1771, which swept i away a great pari of the old Tync Bridge, i Newcastle, Knglnnd, was long remembered; and alluded to with emphasis as "the flood." i A few years later, Mr. Adam Thompson was put into the witness box nttho Assizes. The counsel, asking his name, received for auswer?r"Adam. sir,?Adam Thompson." "Whero do you live ?" "At .Paradise, sir." Paradise was a village about a mile and n half west of Newcastle, but now closely ^ adjoining the town. "And how long have 1 nwwto?" His ! reply. < - A man "down Kast" returned his newspaper to the printing office with "jackass" written on the margin, and in the next is- < suo the editor stated the fact, and wound | up the paragraph by asking: "Will our in- I dignant subscriber please let us know at I what stable he can be found ?"

It is thoy, and not tho people of the South, who havo boen governing the whole country for twelve yeara past. It is thoy, and not the people of the South, who inflicted Boutwell with his hideous self sufficiency and ignorance upon our finances, aud Grant with his blundering incapacity upou our politics. It is they, and not the people of the South, who have ruined our commerce, palsied our industries exposed our Government to shame and derision by the rascalities of the men whom they put iuto positions of power, and turned our laborers into mend cants.

Curiosity.?A mau was yesterday pushing au iron lawn-roller around a yard on Woodward avenue, when an old lady came along, leaned up against tho fence aud watched him for a while, and then called out: "Say, Mister, what arc you pushing that around for ?" "To roll the lawn," ho answered. * * ? ?> - ' r~*" it luu uu juu >vuiit iu run uiu i.nvn ior; ' To make it level." "What do you want to make it level for ?" she continued. "That's what I was ordered to do," he answered, as he wiped away the perspiration. "But what did they order you to do it (or ?" "Why, they think a smooth lawn looks the best, I suppose " "Why do they think a smooth lawn looks the best?" she persisted. "I haven't time to talk," he said, as he started up again. "Why haven't you time to talk ?" she dioutcd. "Go'u ask the boss ?" lie yelled. "Why shall I go'n ask the boss ?" she 'creamed. 11 o disappeared behind the house to get id of her, and after waiting five minutes for liui to reappear, she s'owlv sauntered off, nuttcring; "Some folks arc so smart aud stuck up hat you can't get withiu a mile of'cm unless rou blaze all over with diamonds."?Detroit Free Press. - Thk Game of Like.?Man's life is a ?nmc of cards. First it is "cribbagc." Next ic tries to "go it alone," at a sort of "cut> 'huflle and deal" paco. Then he gambols "on lie green." Then lionises tho "deuce" vhen his mother "takes a hand in." and, :ontrary to Hoyle, "beats the little joker vith her five." Then with his "diamonds" ic wins the "queen of hearts." Tired of 'playing a lone hand," he expresses a desire o "assist his fair "partner," "throws out lis cards," and the clergymau makes a teulollar bill out of him "on a pair." "She i i.: ?? 4 . i : i J c i *i iruuia mm up iu uuuu lues. JjIKC a knave" he joins the "clubs," where he >ften gets "high," which is "low too." If ic keeps "straight" he is oftentimes' flush." [Ic grows old and "bluff." sees a "deal" of rouble, when at last he "shuffles" off his nortal coil and "passes in his checks," and ic is "raked in" by a "spade." Life's fitul "game" is onded, aud he awaits the lummous of Gabriel's "truuip" which shall 'order him up." - * - A cow stealer in Pike county, Miss., who lad been captured by a party of men, was occntly punished in a novel manner. They killed the cow, removed the viscera, placed he thief inside, with only his head out, and hen sewed him in securely with a rope.? lie remained there four days, and was then aken out almost dead, having had a diffi:ult task in preventing the buzzards from licking out his eyes. [It would take too many cows to punish :ow thieves that way, in this region.] Journalism is flourishing in Southern California.

There is something refreshing in the absolute astonishment that visitors to a printiug office sometimes display nt the commonest things. "What is that black-looking thing standing up in that corner is sometimes asked by an unsophisticated observer; and the nearest typo answers, "That is the printting office towel.
