O I'lIEETIIKIiS! SISTERS.
Madam Virtue anil Mis Genius,
With their sister Reputation,
Traveled once through foreign countries,
On a tour of observation.
Ere tliey started Genius hinted
That bv some unlucky blunder,
VVhilcthcv journeyed through the kingdoms
The might chance to get asunder.
" And," she said, " it seems but prudent,
.Should we break our pleasant tether,
,Sonie3i vice should be suggested
That may bring us three together.
tjr As for me if from my sisters
I should chance to prove a roamer,
t?eek me at the tomb of Virgil,
Or before the shrine of Homer."
VirtaeQmd, " It I am missing,
Ana you deem me worth the trouble,
Seek me in the court of monarchs,
Or the dwellings of t e noble."
0
" If among the high and mighty
You shall fail to fiud me present,
You may meet with better fortune
fri1 the cottage of the peasant 1"
"Ah!" said Reputation, sighing,
" It is easy of discerning
Each of you may freely wander
With a prospect of returning !
" But, I pray you, guard me closely,
For, despite your best endeavor,
If you miss me for a moment,
I am lost and lost forever !"
Persons going east shouH watch
the sailing of the opposition steamers.
Looking to others for our stand
ard of happicess S3 a sure way to be
miserable. Our business is with
our'Bwil hearts and motives.
A Farmer near Lawrence, Kan
sas, raised this year SO acres of corn,
with SO busheis to the acre; 20 acres
of wheat, 30 bushels to the acre ; and
10 acres of potatoes, 330 bushels to
the acre. ValueQtf the crop, 5,135.
In the vicinity of St Louis, Mo,
a farmer is said to have raised 5G5
bushels ol Boughton wheat from four
teen bushels of seed a little over
forty bushels from one. aThis wheat
is well spoken of for rich land.
The Illinois Central, in.August,
made ($10,000 clear upon peaches
alone. Its fruit business is large,
an, increasing rapidly. 'No road
covers so many varieties of climate,
and nowhe?e are they more promptly
taken advantage of.
e Mr. E. W. Stewart writes that
after an experience of more than ten
years, hjj Gnds two bushels of steamed
hay are worth three bushels of nn
steamed, and that one quart of corn
meal beamed, with a bushel of straw
is equal to a bushel of hay.
The convolvulus, or bindweed or
morning glory, the worst weed
known in California, is overrunning
orchards, vineyards, gardens and
farms and threatens in many places
to drive culturists from the soil. It
should be the object of the Agricultu
ral Society to seek a mode of exter
minating it.
It seems that the American ma
chines, if not first in the field, must
have had some superiority over the
English, for during the last five years
eight thousand American reapers or
mowers have been imported into Eu
rope, while few, if any, English ma
chines have been brought to America.
To destroy flies in a room, take
half a teaspoonful of black pepper in
powder, one teaspoonful of brown su.
gar and one teaspoonful of cream;
mix them well together and place
them in the room on a plate whence
the flies are most troublesome, and
they will soon disappear.
For reclaiming black land, that
has become stiff and waxy by im
proper farming, (fur it will not be
come so by proper usage), use 20 to
75 bushels of leached ashes per acre,
or 1 to 25 bushels unleaehed the
leached ashes contains no potash, and
can have little else than a mechanical
effect, to loosen and mellow the soil
when thoroughly mixed.
Mr. Jeremiah Duncan, near
Paris, Ky., recently sold from his
herd of Shorthorns ten bulls, and
39 cows, heifers and young calves.
The prices were quite high $1,210
and 1,275 being the highest, while
but a single animal sold for less than
$100. The list of prices as publish
ed, foots np $1 1,306 or an average
of 290.53 for each animal sold.
-Tho great Canada Cheese manu
factured about one year ago at a fac
tory near Ingerscll, is still in a good
state of pjeservation, and is suspend
ed on pivots in the factory so as to
be easily swung over for the gratifi
cation of visitors. Thirty-five tuns
of milk wer used in manufacturing:
this cheese, which weighs 7,000
pounds. 0
The bagging business entails an
expense of upwards of a miHion dol
lars per annum on the farmers of this
coast, and will increase in pronortion
to their crops unless they conclude
to shiprain in bulk, as is done in
other cities. All this bagging is im
ported, the greater portion of it from
Europe, so that it confers but little
benefit an anybody except the im- j
porters.
o
How Boat-Racers auk Tcaixed.
The Ward Brothers, w ho won the
hoat raee at Springfield, recently,
Tv$t through a severe training for
that contest. For several weeks
they eat lean motion and beef, care
ful always to avoid fat; and no pep

food, and only a Utile, salt, as well as
tol.ncco in every form drai k 1Ulle

vocationally a little Scotch ale or

with an especial reference to increase

exercise were persistently ' rubbed
down," as a well attended horse
would be. This discipline had at
tained such complete results that the
brothers were able to row six miles
with scarcely a quickening of his

THE GREETING.
A Collection of GleestQuar let ts, Cho
ruses, Bart Songs, eye; By L. O.
Emerson, author of ''The Jubilee"
Harp of Judah, Golden Wreath,
Merry Chimes, etc.
Upwards of half a million copies of Mr.
Emerson's music books have been sold, a fact
proving a popularity which has rewarded no
other author of the same class of books, and
which cannot fail to insure for this new vol
ume an immense sale. The contents of this
woik are, for the most part, new. A large
number of valuable pieces have been con
tributed by Mr. L. II. Southard, whose name
is a sullicient guarantee of the excellence.
The marked features of the collection are:
Originality, Brilliancy and variety, and it
will be found, upon careful examination, that
there is no glee book before the public that
m every particular will prove so completely
satisfactory to musical societies, and conven
tions, conservatories, clubs and amateur sing
ers. Price 1.3S ; P2 per doz.. mailed post

GcntUnun: The watches manufactur.d
by you have been in use on this railro-d for
several years by our enginemen, to whom
we furnish watches as part of our equipment
There are now some three hundred of them"
carried on our line, and we consider them
good and reliable time keepers. Indeed I
have great satisfaction in saving v0ar
watches give us less trouble, and'huve worn
aud do wear much longer without repairs'
than any watches we have ever had in wse
on this road. As you are aware, we former!
trusted to those of English manufacture of
acknowledged good reputation; but us a
class they never kept time as correctly, nor
have they dime as good service, as yours.
In these statements I am sustained by my
predecessor, Mr. Lewis, whose expcnencV
extended over a series of years.
Respectfully,
