c ? ; DRIFTING AWAY. Drift ing away from each oilier, Silently drifting apart, Nothing between hut the worlJ'scoUl screen | Not nine to lose hut a heart. Only two lives dividiug More and more, day by day. Only one soul from another soul Steadily drifting away. Only a man's heart striving Ditterly hard with its doom. Only a hand tender and bland Slipping away in the gloom, Nothing of doubt or wrong. Nothing that either can cure. Nothing to shame, nothing to blame, Nothing to do but endure. The world cannot stand still. Tides ebb?and women change. Nothing here that is worth a tear, One love less nothing strange. Drifting away from each other, Silently drifting away. No wrong to each that the world can reach, Nothing lost?but a heart. FLASHES. Epitaph for an aeronaut?"Gone up." 'Ihe early advertiser catches the worut. A handsome store is a ^ood advertisement.

There is nothing so oflective in bringing a man up to the scratch as a healthy ami high spirited flea. A Nebraska man, on his dying bed. remembered that his wife was smoking Rome hams, and he said, "Now. Marietta. don't go to snuffling around and forget them hams." A young man at Evansville coughed up a twenty-five-cent currency note the other day, and he has gone right, back to the boarding-l ooee whose bash he ; formerly complained of. Did you ev-rr hear the noise of a quartz-crushing machine when in full i operation ? W?ll. tint is nothing compared to the clatter that would fill the , world if good resolutions were made of] glass or crockery ware. At a juvenile party one linle fellow, rejoicing in the splendor of his new clothes, went up to another with the triumphant remark : ' You ain't dressed as well as 1 ant" "Well," retorted tiie other, "I can lick you. anyhow." j The proprietor of a young ladies' academy in Illinois has utterly ruined his business by causing to be inserted in a largo number of papers a picture of the building, with two girls standing on the balcony with last year's hats on their heads. "What is your chief consolation in life ?" was asked a young lady in the Jlible class, and she blushingly replied . "I don't like to tell you his name, but 1 have no objection to telling you where lie lives." WORDS OF WISDOM. Debt is never dignified. Let them obey who know how to rule. The near miss of hnppiii"ss is a great misery. I'laaic not fcef-rc you examine the truth. Haste trips np its own heels, fetters and stops itself. Despair has ruined feme, but pre. sumption multitudes. An honest nun is the louesomest work of the Creator. Occasions of I rouble and ndrorsitv do not make a man frail but tliev show what he is.

The Sun Floww As Protection \ Against Malaria. On this subject wc have receive*! from a correspondent a communication which, containing no facts that arc not already familiar to the public, we deem unnecessary to publish. However, for the benefit of those! persons who may be stiil cultivating! the unsightly sunflower, under the | impression that it really possesses: some hidden power to ward off mala-: ria, we may state that this notion was long ago exploded, and now ranks only with such remedial absurdities as the carrying about in the pockets horscchestnuts and potatoes, as prophylactics of rheumatism, or the equally ludicrous one of basking in light that streams through "blue gla<s." Notwithstanding the romance at" tachcd to its origin by mythology, it is about as coarse, ugly, and useless a plant as we know. With nothing about it to please the eye, with no medicinal qualities whatever to give it value, the only possible economic use to which it can be put is that of cultivation for the sake of an oil that its seeds yield. But whatever value it might have for this purpose is more than counterbalanced by the positive Ini.irtr if ilnna flio onil fnr it is well known as an insatiable consumer of potash, ami wouM rapidly exhaust any land of this already too scarce salt, and hcncc render it unproductive. The proper place, then, for this unpromising exotic is where we chiefly find it?the gardens of rural I districts, in which it is often planted to hide objects that have the misfortune to be still more unsightly. As regards die eucalyptus which our correspondent incidentally mentions, we believe it is r.ot generally held bv scientists that the mere presence of the growing (rcc in any district will prevent the occurrence of malaria, hut that its value as a remedial agent depends on the presence in its leaves and bark of a resin and alkaloid in considerable quantity that have been found to possess all the febrifuge qualities of cinchona and its derivnUvcs.-Scietilicn Americon. Shall I Pasture or Soil ? If one raises soiling crops, he is much more independent of the scisotis, and can feel sure of keeping his stock well all the time, whether i -1 i 11 . - mere comes a drougin or nor. mrtin! soiling will enable one to increase his stock, if, in his judgment, the condition of the markets appear favorable to such increase. Soiling helps to make a farm grow rich, while pasturing tend- to impoverishment. We would overstock the pasture In the spring, and secure all the feed that should he spared, and then. ! when the dry weather of midsummer j comes on, as it does nearly every i year, wc would take the cattle to t!.e i stables and feed them there with green crops, till the pastures arc fit to turn into again. It is a poor plan to let cattle run in a pasture so poor and short that they will be forced to work all day for a living. For soilimr lli.. mn.it vnlii!l)ili> rriill to Olllli" I ...? ...?w. , .. vate is sweet corn, grown especially for feeding through July, August i an'l September. We have raised tli largest varieties, but arc not certain , but a medium sized corn would be quite as satisfactory. Oats, spring j wo and barley, may be sown for early feeding, before corn becomes sufficiently grown and they tr.ny each be sown in the summer for late feeding, after the frost has killed the corn. We have sown nearly two bushels i of corn per acre, hut some successful farmers believe that half the (juan, tit v would produce a onjp of eiju il . value. If sown too thickly, too lower 1 part of the stalks arc bare of leaves, and the whole is quite apt to blow dowii by heavy winds. Winter rye is one of the most useful soiling crops, as it comes s > early in the spring and grows between the seasons for otiier crops, thus requiring no changes for land or time, but you cannot have that this voar.? Mass. Plouijhmaii. Feed Well Always. The Irishman who fed his pig well j one day and gave mm notmng to oar the next, because lie "wanted a streak of fiit ami a, streak of lean," was just ! as wise as the man who fords his poultry only at certain seasons of the yrar and neglects them the rest of the time. It is not enough to supply them with grain and other nutritious food just when we wish to fatten them for 'the market, or to coax them to lay when eggs are scarce and high. The fact is, hens arc always doing ,?omet/iubf that requires good food and good care to be able to do their work to the best advantage of their owner, as well as their own benefit. The 'chicken omce safely out of the shell needs frequent and judicious feeding until it arrives at maturity and begins to lay eggs. Then the same attention to diet is necessary to keep i up the tone of the system and pre pare1 it for the still greater strain of incubation. The moulting season is always a tiial to the hirl, and wholesome uud abundant food is its best assistant. Tnen the winter's coldand the absence of various little appetizers attainable in a freer range, render still more rich and comfortable diet desirable ; and this must he kept up in order to induce a supply of With all these extra effort* of the fowls, following closely upon each other, where is the time when we can profitably forego our carc of the poultry yard and let the inmates forage for themselves 't lie it remembered, howev? r, that when we speak of feeding we7 wo do' not mean that fowls should be overfed and cloyed, There is a happy mean that should he found. Feeding Asiatic and Plymouth Hock liens too much in early winter, has, in many instances, produced so much internal fat as to render weak or barren a great proportion of their eggs, depended upon for spring hatching.? Poultry World. Geraniums and Heliotropes. A French gardncr thus describes his method for getting geraniums to j to flower during the winte. Slips j are taken at the beginning of August i and planted out either in pots or in | a cold frame. Later on they are | twice repotted and constantly j pinched. In the first half of Octoi her they are taken into the hothouse, | placed as near the light as possible, I and allowed to grow without further ! check. Under this treatment they are found to flower freely all through the winter. Thu heliotrope should have frequent repotting and he allowed to grow large ; specimens mav he seen in parlors, in large tubs 0:1 wheels, which have reached tli- heigth of eight feet. Such plants are in themselves ! houqueis of beauty, being always ! covered with flowers. Train the : main stems of the plant to a trellis, and let the branches droop naturally. ! The plant hears the knife well and I breaks freely, honce it can bj trained into any shape. How to Test Seed. I Mr. Hawick, the English author urges that where there is the slight" est reason foi doubting the germinali ing powers ol seed grain, it should be tested before sowing much more generally than is often done. His directions, though too late for our fall crops and much in advance of spiing seeding, may well he put on record for futu'e use. They are as follows : Draw one hundred grains ' promiscuously, lay them in two pieces j of thick flannel well saturated with rain water, place it in a warm temperature. always wet, and 1:1 fifty 01 sixty Iiouim you will find it sprouted. The general adoption of such a handy method would g;vc a certainty to what a farmer was growng. I iius. if he found the gcrmiuative percentage low, he must add more seed to make up the deficiency.
