TIRED MOTHERS. A little elbow leans upon your knee, Your tired knee, that has so much to bear; A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly From underneath a thatch of tangled hair Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch Of warm, moist fingers, holding yours so tight; You do not prize this blessing overmuch, You almost are too tired to pray to-night. But it is blessedness! A year ago .1 did not see it as I do to-day? We are so dull and thankless; and too slow To catch the sunshine till it slips away. And now it seems surpassing strange to me, That while I wore the badge of mother? hood, I did not kiss more oft and tenderly, The little, child that brought me only good. And if, some night when you sit down to rest, You miss this elbow from your tired knee; This restless, curling head from off your breast, This lisping tongue that chatters con? stantly ; If from your own the dimpled hands had slipped, And ne'er would nestle in your palm again; If the white feet into their grave had tripped, 1 could not blame you for your heartache then! I wonder so that mothers ever fret At little children clinging to their gown; Or that the footprints when the days are wet, ? Are ever black enough to make them frown. If I could find a little muddy boot, Or cap or jacket, on my chamber floor; If I could kiss a rosy, restless foot And hear its patter in my home once more; If I could mend a broken cart to-day, To-morrow make a kite to reach the sky? There is no woman in God's world could say She was more blissful content than I ? But, ah ! the dainty pillow next to my own Is never rumpled by a shining head, My singing binlling from his nest is flown ; The little boy I used to kiss is dead! ONLY. Only a baby, you can't but kiss, Only a child, mother would miss. Only a boy, and just what he seems; Only a youth, living in dreams. Only a man brave and true; Only a father, with feeling so new. Only a grandpa, waiting for rest; Only a mound by dew-drops caressed. Yucatan's Antiquities. Although a number of American and European archaeologists have visited the ruined cities of the peninsula of Yucatan, none of them, with the exception of Dr. August Le Plongeon and Mrs. Le Plon geon, have spent any length of time ex? cavating the ruins. Dr. Le Plongeon and bis wife went from New York to the city of Merida in the year 1873, and re? mained there until 1877. During that, time they were successful in unearthing the famous "Chaac-Moll" statue which is now in the National Museum of the City of Mexico. Dr. Le Plongeon and Mrs. Le Plongeon were iu New York yes? terday, and the World reporter was sent to interview them on the subject of an? tiquities in Yucatan. Dr. Le Plongeon spoke at some length of bis own and his wife's experiences at Chicken-Itza, TJxmal and Mayapan, and said: "When we arrived at Merida I wrote to the Governor of the Province asking him if we might visit the ruins, which were then in the hands of the rev? olutionists, who were fighting against the Federal authorities of Mexico, to which the Governor replied that if we dared go we were welcome, and placed at my dis? posal 100soldiers as a body-guard. With this force and sixteen picked workmen we went into the country and began our explorations. We kept the troops with us until they began to grumble at the delays and wanted to know when we would get through. I said that we had not begun yet, and sent them back to Merida so that we could continue our work in peace. A long time was spent in deciphering hieroglyphics on the walls of the buildings, and from these we were directed to the artificial mound where the statue of Chaac-Moll was buried. As soon as we had unearthed it I wrote to Pedro de Tejada, then President of Mex? ico, and asked his permission to take the statue to the Exposition at Philadelphia. Six months elasped before I received a reply, which told me that according to a law passed about the year 1827 we could not remove any of the relics from the country, so after all our labors and ex? penditure of money the Mexican govern? ment took the statue without giving us any recompense." "Is this prohibitory law still in force ?" "Yes; for when the Emperor Maxi? milian was dethroned all the laws made by him were set aside and declared an? nulled and void. This revived the old laws, among which was one on which they seized our statue. When we came home I tried to get, at least, some .re? compense from the Mexican government for the time and money spent, but up to the present time we have not succeeded. Secretary Evarts wrote to our Minister at Mexico asking him to assist us by every proper means in his power. Even this did not help us, although the law is in our favor, for Article 856 of the Civil Code of Yucatan reads: 'When the ob? jects discovered be interesting to science or art the State may take them by pay? ing their just value, which will be divi? dend according to what is said in Articles 854 and 855,' which says one-half shall belong to the finder and the other half to the owner of the land." "What, then, have you to show as the results of your labor?" "Mme. De Plongeon and myself took photographs of all the ruins we visited, and we also made tracings of the mural paintings." As the doctor spoke be went to a large trunk and presently returned with a large roll which contained a number of the tracings. "These," he said, "we got after four months of hard work and many dangers and privations. The rolls, as he unfolded them, showed figures of men and women and drawings of houses. The drawings are of a higher order than those of the ancient Egyptians, but have the same want of perspective. Snakes, mon? keys and pigs are represented, and one of the drawings was a peculiar animal having a head not unlike that of a horse, the upper portions of the body being like that of a kangaroo, and the lower part like a large gorilla, minus the tail. None of the murals, bas-reliefs or carvings show that horses were used. The soldiers fought with a weapon like the Zulu as sega, and carried shields. Many of them are represented as wearing breastplates and sandals. The costumes of the la? dies and priests must have been very elaborate. Hats of extraordinary pro? portions, with feather trimming, decked the heads of all the distinguished ladies, and feather cloaks were worn by the priests and high dignitaries. After placing the tracings in order, Dr. Le Plongeon said that they told the story of the life of Chaac-Moll, who was not a god but a great general, afterwards slain by his brother Aac. To any one who is familiar with the story of Isis and Osiris in Egyptian mythology they only have to call Osiris Chaac-Moll?the tiger, and who always carries a shield covered with the skin of a spotted tiger; Isis, Kinich-Kakmo; Typhon, Aac, and Ho rus, Huuncay. The last tracery of the series represents the dead Chaac-Moll with a terrible cut across bis body which almost severs it in two. To the right of the body stands his wife, Kinich Kakmo, holding his heart in her hand. Knefeling at his feet is his half-sister ; standing at her back is his eldest son Huuncay (who afterwards killed Aac,) holding the ban? dage which is to bind up the wound. After him comes Chaac-Moll's second son, his daughter, his third son, and last of all his mother. Speaking of the sim? ilarity of the two stories, Dr. Le Plon? geon said that probably the life of Chaac Moll was the origin of the Egyptian my? thology and was known in the East be? fore the submission of the Atlantis. Ground plans of many of the buildings were nest shown to the reporter. These were drawn in minute detail by Dr. and Mrs. Le Plongeon foot by foot through the underbrush which now covers them. One plan shows the Priest's Palace, which contains 108 rooms and is eurrounded by broad terraces. Another shows the plan of a royal palace, and a third gives an idea of the tennis court, or ball ground of the time, where the early Mayan play? ed before the princes and rulers. "What other important discoveries did you make?" "We found traces of three distinct races of people?giants, medium-sized people and dwarfs. The statue of Chaac-Moll and life-sized drawings of him, and others that we found represents the first class, and the mural paintings show the second and third. We also found bas-reliefs of bearded men and buildings wherein dwarfs bad-lived. These houses were of limestone, roughly built, and we know that only dwarfs could have lived in them, for the doorways are but three feet high by eighteen inches wide, while inside they were only three teet high and six feet long. We visited the city of Nisucte on the coast opposite the Isla Mugeres which had only these kind of buildings." "Did you find any inscriptions to help you in your work ?" "We discovered that the people who in? habited these cities had a regular system of writing just as we have. In a build? ing callea by the Indians 'Acabsib,' mean? ing 'Mysterious writing,' we found a stone bearing an inscription which I am now engaged in deciphering. I call it my Eosetta stone." "An old Indian," interposed Mme. Le Plongeon, "told us of a traditiou which has it that the.inscription is a prophecy that at some future time a string wolud be stretched from city to city so that men could speak together' This looks like a prophecy of the telephone or telegraph, so I have reohriatened the building and taken from Maya grammar another word which I think equally applicable, name? ly, 'Alcabsid,' meaning to write in a hur? ry.' " I "Have you fouud anything as far as you have gone in the translation of the inscription which tends to corroborate this legend?" "That I am not at liberty to say a't pres? ent. The study of the hieroglyphics has really been the hardest part of the work. Some gentlemen have &a\d that they deci Ehered them by the aid of the Landa key, ut it cannot be so, as the inscription ou my Eosetta stone contains many forms which Landa does not give and which have no similarity to any forms in other languages. I may say, however, that the Maya language contains letters and words which are used iu all the known early lan? guages, and these are'used in the inscrip? tion." Dr. Le Plongeon then, by the aid of a dictionary and his own method, read a portion of the "Alcabsid," and afterwards said: "It was this method and this knowledge of the Maya characters, which lean safely say are known to no other people than myself and Mrs. Le Plongeon, that helped me to find out where Chaac Moll was buried." "Did you ever hear any legend of the origin of these cities ?" asked the repor? ter of Madame Le Plongeon. "Whenever I asked the Indians who built the cities their answer was always 'they were built by the Aluxob,' meaning the dwarf race. They also say that they see the dwarfs sometimes, that they come and knock on the tables and doors. Their alleged appearance is not looked upon with superstition, as they are notsupposed to do any good or harm. The Indians also say they see them on the plazas, and that 'they look like small people with large hats.'" Dr. Le Plongeon, at the conclusion of the interview, said that he was certain more important traces of an older civiliza? tion than those brought to light in the Eastern Hemisphere will be found in Yu? catan, but that the investigations will be fraught with great danger, owing to the revolutionary tendencies of the people. He agrees with Senor Perez, whose views were printed in the World yesterday, that Iudiaus are susceptible of a higher civilization if properly managed.?N. Y. World, May 10. The Guileless Witness. "Do ycu know the prisoner well?!' asked the attorney. "Never knew him sick," replied the witness. "No levity," said the lawyer Bternly. "Now, sir, did you ever see the prisoner at the bar?" "Took'many a drink wi th him at the bar." "Answer ray question, sir," yelled the lawyer. "How long have you known the I prisouer ?" "From two feet up to five feet ten inches." "Will the court make the?" "I have, Jedge," said the witness, an? ticipating tbe lawyer, "I have answered the question. I knew the prisoner when be was a boy two feet long and a man five feet ten?" "Your honor-" "It's a fact Jedge; I'm under my oath," persisted the witness. The lawyer arose, placed both hands on the table in front of him, spread his legs apart, leaned his body over the table and said: "Will you tell the Court what you know about this case ?" "That ain't his name," replied the wit? ness. "What ain't his name?" "Case." "Who said it was?" "You did. You wanted to know what I koew about this Cane?bis name's Smith." "Your honor," howled the attorney, plucking his beard out by the roots, "will you make this man answer ?" "Witness," said the Judge, "you must answer the questions put to you." "Land o' Goshen, Jedge, hain't I bin doin'it? Let this cuss fire away. I'm ready." "Then," said the lawyer, "don't beat about the bush any more. You and this prisoner have been fr ends?" "Never," promptly responded the wit? ness. "What! Weren't you summoned here as a friend ?" "No, sir. I was summoned here as a Presbyterian. Nary one of us was ever Friends?he's an old line Baptist without a drop of Quaker in him." "Stand down !" yelled the lawyer, in j disgust. "Hey ?" ' Stand down." "Can't do it. I'll sit down or stand up?" "Sheriff, remove that man from the box." Witness retired muttering, "Well, if he ain't the thick-headedest cuss I ever laid eyes on."?New Haven Register.

At tbe 6rst attack there? after, it was administered to her with such good results, that she wasjmade so enthu? siastic in its praise, that she induced twen? ty-two of the best families in her circle to adopt it as their regular family medicine. That "Stuff" is Hop Bitters.?Standard. ? A stone has been cut in a quarry near Bedford, Ohio, 40 by 50 feet and 30 feet thick, with an estimated weight of 6,000,000 pounds. Cutting Outs Early. Where it is designed to feed oats in the sheaf to stock, it is better that it should be cut early, just so soou as the milk forms into dough. The advantages de? rived from cutting early may be stated as follows: 1. There is no loss from shattering of the grain. 2. It renders the straw more digestible aud more palatable. 3. It vacates the land ten to fifteen days earlier for a fallow crop of peas or for forage crops or sweet potatoes. In fact, on rich land, cotton may follow early cut oats or other graiu. When sheaf oats that have been al? lowed to ripen thoroughly before being cut are fed to stock, they refuse general? ly to eat the straw, and not for the rea? son that it is void of all nutriment even in that case, but from the fact that they waste and soil it in their efforts to eat up the grain heads first, aud because of the harshness of the straw, resulting from its over ripened condition. It is a very great economy to have the oate cut up so that the grain becomes mixed with the straw and the straw cannot be pulled out of the rack or manger and soiled under foot. Oat straw possesses considerable nutriment, and we ought to strive to utilize it to its fullest extent. For the purpose of fodder, a ton and a half of sheaf oats, cut early, while the stalk is more or less green to within four or five inches of the ground, is worth two tons, and often more, of that which is allowed to become dead ripe before cutting. For all practical purposes it may sometimes be worth twice as much, taking into consideration all the gain that may be secured by early cutting, as above indicated. This is not a mere matter of speculation or theory, for it has been abundantly proven to be true. Let the farmer that has any doubts on the subject try it this season, aud several successive seasons if necessary, on a half acre if no more, and he will soon be con? vinced that it is better to cut early. As soon as the stalk becomes dry near the ground, or as soon as the grain is out of the milk, is the proper time to cut. Oats for seed should be left to mature, of course. It should be tied and shucked as fast as cut, letting it cure in the shuck. If a first-class quality of fodder is de? sired, do not let it lie in swath, exposed to the sun even a half day if avoidable. Oats cut and cured thus and run through a fodder-cutter (nice work for wet weather cutting up a supply of it) is un? doubtedly the cheapest food we can pro? vide for our stock, and we ought to learn how to preserve and feed it without waste. Tender oat straw, as secured by early cutting, is palatable and nutritious, and makes a very fair quality of manure, and twenty-five to forty pounds of sheaf oats of this character, when cut up, is ample allowance for any ordinary horse or mule under rigorous work. The wasteful practice of using oat or other grain straw for bedding ought to be stopped, by all those farmers especially who have access to pine straw for this purpose. By all means let the grain straw be passed through the stock if its full value would be realized. Unpalata? ble as it may often prove, yet stock will eat and do tolerably well on it, but they won't eat pine straw. Let the farmer's watchword be "a sound economy in all things." S. A. C. Desmodium. For several years past a new forage plant has been attracting the attention-of farmers in certain districts of Florida, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and all who have put it to the test of culture are loud in its praise as s. must valuable acquisition. Originally it was known for common as "Beggar's Lice," but some who do not seem to regard "he last word in the name as standing entire? ly in keeping with the refinement aud modesty of the age, have dropped it and substituted "Weed ;'.' therefore the plant now usually goes by the common name of either "Beggar's Lice" or "Beggar Weed." The plant under consideration is. a Desmodium, and hence Desmodium is the uame by which it ought to be known for common. Of course, I need not argue this point as to why. The common names most generally applied are mean? ingless and ridiculous in the extreme, while Desmodium is the correct scien? tific name, the generic name by which itis known to scientific people throughout the civilized world. Then it means something, being formed from the Greek signifying "bound," which refers to the manner in which the seeds are bound to? gether. There are at least twenty species of ! Desmodium native to the Southern Uni? ted States. They class with the Legumi nosae, and all are more or less valuable as feed for stock. The species under cul? tivation, as already mentioned, is knowu to botanists as Desmodium molle, a name given to it by De Condolle. It is indi? genous to Middle Florida, but seems to succeed very well in any of the adjacent States. Dr. Chapman describes it in his "Flora of the Southern States" as fol? lows : Stem tall, much branched, softly pu bercent; leaflets rhombic or elleptical, obtuse and often emarginate tomentose beueath, rough above; racemes panicled, slender; flowers, two or three together, on slender pedicles; legume nearly s?s sile, black ; the small joints oval or rhom? bic, equally convex on both sutures. Stem three to five feet high. Leaflets three to four inches long. Legume one inch long, pendulous." Rendered into plain farm talk this would mean that the plant grows to from three to five feet in height, takiog upon itself a branching or bunching habit something like that of the cotton plan. It is covered with soft, downy hairs. The leaflets are oval or oblong, rather blunt at the extremity and notched; they are downy beneath aud rough above. Flow? ers three or four together in loose bunch? es. Seeds, blackish, hanging in a string, jointed together, nut easy of separation. They are somewhat half-moon shaped, and, being covered with sharp hooks, they readily attach themselves to one's clothes and become separated from each other or from the parent plant, &c. I speak with confidence as to the spo cies of Desmodium under cultivation in consequence of the fact that I have been studying it carefully for several years. Both plants aud seeds have been sent to me for identification from Florida, ' Georgia and Alabama, by persous culti ! yating it as a forage crop, and in every instance I have readily recognized the specimens as Desmodium molle. Some writers have mentioned the "Beggar Weed" as Desmodium canescens, but this was, I am satisfied, an entire mistake, for Canescens, one of our most common species, would not be at all suited for cultivation. With reference to the value of Desmo' dium I can say but little from personal experience with the crop, though I am rather of the opinion that it is decidedly worthy of cultivation. It is closely rela? ted to the clovers, and may be correctly reckoned as one of the "air-feeders." This being the case, it would in all probability, be a valuable crop to turn under for the purpose of enriching the soil. I know it will grow quite well on soil comparative? ly thin. For feeding to stock green it is excellent, and, under proper manage? ment, it is said to yield a splendid dry feed or hay. If sowu for this last named purpose it should be put in quite thick, else the stalks will grow too coarse aud woody to answer well as hay. ?
