HOW IvLOVE YOU. You ask me how I you, dear? your arise, And torn by passionate hope and fear, Look nt me from your questioning eyes. Ah! sweet imploring eyes, from whence ShAll I draw fitting words to fashion The heart's unspoken eloquence Into the story of my pnssion ? Beyond our feeble earthly sight, Behind the soul's deep mystery, Love dwelleth?an eternAl light That never shone on land or sen! Sometimes a burning ray eolipses From that s'ill glory unaware, Touches some lip with flame?and shapes Itself into n song of prayer. Some wondrous inspiration wrought On posy's gold-lettered pages, ? That strikes the mhster-key of thought, And rolls in music down the ages. For only can the poet's art V Interprit to the listening throng V The glowing language of the heart, Breathed into some undying song. ' And so, dear heart, I may not tell IIow all my life is thine?nor why? I only know I lovcrlhee well, For, when the heavenly day hath dawned, [ And earthly things have passed away 1 In the immeasurable years beyond, My love will still be thine for ay ! FLASHES. ^ One oF the surest ways for a man to be robbed of his good name is to put it -y on his umbrella. ^ i A Western quack doctor in his advertisement, feljs Iiott the food passes through the phalanx. It is the steam from the .brain that makes men bald. Any bald-beaded man will tell you this. Never tako a bull by the horns, young man, but take him by the tail; then you can let go when you want to. . , A doctor was asked to dance the lancers; ho declined, but expressed his willingness to lance tho dancers. "#ell , tbero is something iu that,' as the man said when he tried to put on his boot with a kitten in it. t Compliments are the coin that we pay a man to his face; sarcasm is what : i we pay hjm with behind his back. && . A competent authority says you must "lie with your feet to the equator, j M Liars will pleaso take notice of this. W An old negro cook said ; "San is powerful good in eberythirtg hut ehillun.1 Dey need some other sort ob dressing."

P A young lady at Niagara was hand to exclaim, "What an elegant trimming wBk that raiubow would make for a white lace overdress!" Probably the hymn 'I wonld not live alway' was never before so appropriately 39k , sang as at a hanging that recently took place in TeUncssee. "Died while reading a newspaper," says a recent paragraph. On investigation it was found that he had borrowed the paper from a neighbor. Tbo smiles of home arc exceedingly pleasant," says a novelist.

"View of the political situation," he added. When the recording angel observes a minister of the gospel holding a nail betweeu bis fingers while he misses it with a hammer, the trustworty scribe ??- drops into a brown study and pretends not to hear anything. ^ The housefly crawls out of his crevice in the wall, and with wings still stiff and feeble, begins to practice flying at a mark.

Build Bar us The value and necessity of a good barn upon every farm becomes every year more vnd more apparent. A large amount of the harvested products of the farm is annually wasted because there is no proper storage therefor. This very waste, if saved, would build a good barn in less than five years. As all farm improvements should be made with a view to permanence and economy, barns should take.the place of the hovels, seeds and other make- shifts which the farmer is compelled to improvise in cases of emergency. These arc neither economical, convenient or elegant. One good building, in which all farm products can be stored, all implements housed and all stock she'r ; tered, is what the wants of every farmer require. The sooner our farmers recognize this fact the bet" tm* it will be for them, financially and otherwise. Such a building will add a tangible value to the farm, I while the other mis-called itnproveI inents carry about thrm an air of ! poverty and dilapidation that detractfcfrom the actual value and entails continual and expensive repairs. , v?? A bam should be built on well drained grouftd and the location should be such as to make it easy of access from all parts of the farm. Everything entering into its construetion should be of the most substantial character. No shoddy work or material should be allowed. Properly built, it will last for several generations and prove a constant source of satisfaction to the owner.?Our Home Journal. Protecting Trees Against Worms. The bandage system is the only effectual production we have yet seen against the operations of the worm in fruit trees. It is simply to bandage the bottom of the tree with any kind of muslin or cloth and tie it, letting the bandage be about six inches above ground and two inches below . It should be applied as soon as the ground is in a fit condition to go upon. These bandages should be removed at the end of October, but it will do no harm to let them alone, only see that they ic" | main in good condition for another season. As long as this is con tinted pre defy the worm. The beetle lays ' its eggs an inch or two above tbe ground early in the spring, that is , as soon as the warm days in March I will admit of its ctftning forth from I its winter-quarters ; the eggs are soon hatched by tbe sun, being laid on the sun-side of the trunk, and the young grub finis its way down to the soft bark beneath the soil where it gradually works its way in. The bandage prevents both the laying of tho eggs and the descent of the grub. Let doubters try it. One man will bandage two hundred trees in a da}'. It may also protect the peach tree in the same way. To Keep Ilosw Blooming. As soon as they have formed their first flowers in the open ground, pinch off the end of the first shoot, and as soon as the rose is fully opened, pick it off. No rose should be left to fade upon tho bush, as when so left it exhausts the plant in the formation of seed. As the plants grow, pinch back tho ends of the shoots when they have grown six inches, and rub out all puny shoots, thus keeping.the plants in a rounded open bush form. If strong shoots alone are left to grow, they will soon control the strength of the plant, and the flowers will be few and often of imperfeot form. Should the season be hot and dry, a mulch of fine, fresh grasa or sawdust, or moss from the woods, should be placed all over the soil, three inches deep, and at night watered thoroughly, not sprinkled, but wet liko a day's rain. The Hybrid Perpetuals or Noisettes require this pruning or pinching back more promptly than the Teaa/" Bengals or Bourbons.?E. R. Elliott in (Jnuntru Grntlemnn. A Winter Peach. The Petersburg (Va./) Rural Mttscngcr thus describes tnis fruit, which, it says, originated with Mr, James Hawkins, of Dinwiddie, Yu., before the war, and which is called the "Hawkins Winter Peach." The gentleman has bad. fo? some years trees in full bearing: "Tho fruit does not begin to ripen until the leaves have fallen from the tree in November; is in no way injured by the.severe frosts of that seitson, and hangs on tho trees until it assumes a beautiful red cheek. When ripe they may be picked and put away to bo carried to market at leisure?say any time in November or early December. The fruit is largo (the first important item in o market peach), color whitish, with red cheek, flesh whitish, rich, juicy and pleasant. It will keep far into December without j rotting. It can be handled pretty much the same as apples." Only well rotted mannre should bo used in the flower garden. If the soil is of a strong loamy nature, it will be benefited by an application iff sau'd with tbtJ Sfil. Sloths in Carpets. This paragraph will be interesting to housekeepers, who have carpets to keep from being moth-eaten. Mrs. S. T. WM says the Country Gentleman, has tried salt and various other applications, and still the insects trouble her carpets. We advise her to try the plan proposed by Prof. A. J. Cook, in his report on injurious insects. He advises to take a wet sheet or cloth, lay it upon the carpet, and tnen go over tbe wet cloth with a hot flat iron, the steam thus produced will penetrate the carpet, and not only destroy living moths hut cook their eggs, and prevent them from hatching. It is. cheap and easy of application, and we have no donht that it will prove effective. The only wonder is, that no one fyas thought of it before. Cure for Poison. Take a heaping teaspoonfnl of common salt and as much ground mustard, stir them in a cup of warm water and drink quickly. . This preparation will have hardly reached the 8tobiach before it returns, bring ing with it the cause of Jh? trouble. Lest any remnant of tho poison remain, let the white of an egg or a teacup of strong coffeo be swallowed as soon as the stomach is quiet, bocapsc those very common articles nullify a larger number of virulent poisons than almost any medicine.
