MY VILLAGE HOME." A S0*??BY PARK BENJAMIN. Swrect village borne! I love thee well, Thy woods ami flowers. The vineclml cot. the gr>is?y dell, Fit haunts for summer hours 1 love the wild aud merry song Of brooklets as they foam; 1 love thee as I've loved thee long, My lutppy village home. Sweit village home! in other climes, In halls of power and pride. For thee and for thy quiet times, In lonely thought I've sighed ; Not all the mirth aud revelry In pleasure's loftiest dome Could win my constant heart from thee, My happy village home. Sweet village home! that day will bring No solace unto me. When I must njr ou resuess nm| Fur. faraway from thee. If site whose beauty makes tliee lair Will not consent to roHin From thy gieetifieMs and rosy air. My happy village home ! WIT AM) HUMOR " Ho is a polished geut]r,mttn," said she, gazing fondly at his bald head. There is a Yankee blade in llangor who is so sharp that he often uses himself to shave people. Now and then ho gets lathered himself, but never shaved. An Oregon boy. who pot to school the other day a few minutes before the master and his fellows, declared n vacancy, and cast the a hole vote of the school in favor of a holiday. A dilapidated tramp was recently heard inveighing against people who do not clean off their sidewalks : ,-l expect every minute," he said, ' to fall down and break my watch." A young scapegrace, noted f>r hi? practical jokes, arrived at the age ol twenty-one at midnight, whereupon h> raised his family and all the neighbor.by shouting at the top his voice: "There's a man in the house !" lie purchased a pair of tcn.buttor ' I ?A ?.| { lows lor IMS SWOeillCitri, mm thrui in the door bitn^elf. Tlie servant giil to-' k them, and jroin^r la the foot u] the stairs, bawled up: "l'lrafre, mis4 erv'iM young man as has brought yoi a pnir of loggias." Fmm the following paragraph, on< would think that there is an intentior to raise tall students out in \Vi?cr>n*in An exchange paper says that its boarc of education intends to erect a bui'din* large enough to accommodate five Hun died students three stories high. An Irish glaiier was putting a pant of glass into a window, when a groom who was standing by, began joking him ? telling him to put in plenty of putty The Irishman bore the banter for soon time, but at last silenced .bis tormenlo with : "Arrah, now, bo off wid ye, or i will put a tain in yer bead without an; putty." A tramp in the last stages of loope< and windowed raggedncs* was heard t< mutter to a companion in New York i few days ago, as a poodle in o seilskii sack trotted proudly by them on IIroad way: "Well, l'ui blowcd if they won' put a point ?ace collar on the pup next ^ and hang a stone came) locket on h:i oo!d ucck-chatn." Preachers will have their little joke like other people. i4Come over am preach for uie to-night," said a Chicngi divine to a clerical friend whom lie mc on the street not many dap since, can't to night," was the reply; an almost sick with a headache." "Well/ drolly observed the other, "I gum yoi can do it, for if you preach as you usu ally do. you won't have lo use you head any." They both laughed, aur punched each other in the ribs,and suit it was a good one, just as though tins bad been the worst kind of sinners al their lives. A Legend of The Evil One. One part of the castle of Nureoi burg, called the Heathen Tower was built by the Romans 1500 yeart ago, but the main buildings dat< back for about eight hundred and fifty years only. Near the entrance of the court yard is a well cut through the solid rock to the depth of 335 feet. They were thirty year* in building it. The maid who showed its the well, let down some lighted candles in a tin reflector, until they looked to be miles below us; and by these we saw the entrance to the se cret passages which led to several parts of tho city. Entering the small court yard, tve saw in the centre of it the lime tree planted 800 years ago by Cunigunde, at the time of the departure ot her lorn, Jl^iiry I., on the crusade. She said: "If this tree flourishes, my lord will return to tne in health and safety ; but if it dies, I will cease to hope for him." It is needless to add thai he returned, to the great joy of his beautiful queen. On the founda, tions of the old heathen tower is built the first Christian chapel in Germany. In this chapel, over the arch before the altar, is painted the r N fat face of a jovial monk, with hie ^ tonguo run out at the side of his y* mouth. Upou asking Yalct why / that was there, he pointed to one of the four stone columns of the room, ' in which there was a vi ible crack, and gave us the following legend: t While the castle was being built, the urehbishop declared that upon the return of the emperor from his campaign, the chapel of the castle must be consecrated. The monk who hud charge of this work made known this decree to the architect, who told hiin it was impossible to finish the building at that time, be* cause there was wanting four large columns which he had to bring from a distance. The monk that night lav upon Ids couch in sore distress, thinking of all the souls that would go to jta\litiVn because of there b'e ing no chapel in which to say mass. Without raged a dreadful storm. At length he fell into a troubled sleep, | when suddenly he became conscious of a Presence, and looking up he ber held his room filled with smoke, which gradually took shape, and he knew that Satan stood before him. Seizing the crucifix, lie cried: 'Apage, Satan !" but Satan, instead of departing, told htm he knew in what trouble he was. and had come to make a proposition to him. He said he knew a temple in Koine where there were four pillars, just such as wire needed to finish the chapel : and he would make a : wager to bring and put them in place before the monk could say a mass. The monk knew the devil's only conditions, viz., the possession of his soul if he succeeded; and thinking that he knew nothing of Latin. and that he could say "Amen whenever it was necessary, he consented. He further thought that even angels in Leaven would not condemn him if he cheated the devil and brought him to finish a Chris, tian chapel. The devil said he would sit on a turret of the tower until he heard the monk's hell ring for ti.e beginning of the mass. The monk assembled his acolytes, and as the bell sounded there was a rush i past the chapel, the sound of which exceeded the roar of the tempest. Satan was at work; and in a , few moments the first and then the second column was set in its place, i The storm without increased in fury j and violence, and the castle shook , I as if heaven and earth had met. f The acolytes fell fainting to the floor . from fright as the third column was ' t set and the monk but half through : his mass. The brave monk continued, and as the fourth column ap_; , pcared, with an exulting cry lie I! shouted "Amen !" A terrible crash 11 was heard, and the servants rushing I" in, found the monk upon tiie noor ? senseless and the column broken in 1 two. The devil was beaten, but the chapel was finished, although i one column still bears a crack i through its centre. ' The Land of the Missingr In one of William Black's novels, he makes one of his people vaguelv describe a land which lay across the sea, to which had fled all who were numbered among the missing, who there lived untratumeled by the fol~ ? lies or misfortunes of the past. But r J the land of the missing doe3 not al[' ways care for its children. Sad f wrecks go down in the surging seas | which surround it. One case, says ] the Indianapolis Herald, saddest of 9 all in the compass of memory, prc0 sents itself. * A boy, an only child, the idol of cultured and wealthy parents, start* ' ed for school one morning with bis ' I mother's kiss warm upon his lips, ' {and bis books in his hands, and | never returned. lie was only eight s years old, was as handsome as a ' cherub, and was known everywhere among his acquaintances as a good j boy. lie was effeminate in nature, ( and never ordinarily ventured upon ? boyish escapades. He was to have , a rabbit for his dinner, mi l lie asked . as a favor that it might be 4;?tewed. r wiili a heap of gravy." The din1 ner was prepared, but lie nover 1 came to cat it. There had been i nothing to make him dissatisfied I ?-.1 ! . l:_ i I WIIU Ills SlUTUUUUIIIg*, illlU l-lliuui. ! age the idea tlutt lie run away. He i was timid and sin inking, and, as everybody believed, too good and too cowardly to run away. Six* , teen years later his father and uioi ther met him on a Mississippi rive" ; steamboat, a bloated, drunken, prol fane, brutal gatnbler. Heath would ? have kept him a beautiful ami lovul ble child ; but the land of the tnissi ing sent him back a uined soul. t Lime and Salt. Professor Johnson recommends . for fertilizing purposes, to mix one . bushel of salt to two bushels of dry I lime under covet; allow the mixture . to dccomposo gradually, thus form, ing a chemical union. For this pur* I pose the mixture should be tnade six , weeks before use, or still better, two months, the heap being turned over . occasionsil}'. This salt and lime I mixture when applied at the rate of . twenty or thirty bushels per acre, , forms an excellent top dressing for . many crops. It acts powerfully on , the vegetable matter of soils ; fiftysix bushels applied to turnips have i produced as large crops as barn, yard manure. It is destructive to , grubs and insects in the sod. Like , salt, it attracts moisture from the i air, and is very useful against drought. Its decomposing power is remarkable, and it three or four bushels of it are mixed with a load | of muck, the latter will be thus thoroughly powdered. In many parts of Germany taxes now amount to from seventeen to twenty per cent, of ascertained in" come.
