THE CRY OF THE DREAMER.
I am tired of planning and tolling
In tho crowded hlvo of men;
llcart weary of building and (polling,
And spoiling and building again,
And I long for tho dear old river,
Whtre I dreamed my life oway.
For a dreamer Uvea forever,
And a toiler dies in a day.
I am i:k of tho ahowy seeming,
Of a lifo that la half a lie j
Of tho fnsca lined with scheemlng
In tho throng that hurries by;
From the alccplcaa thought's endoavor,
I would go whero tho children play.
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toilor dies in a day,
I feel no pride, but pity
For tho burdons tho rloh enduro.
Thcro is nothing sweot in tho city
But tho patient lives of tho poor.
Oh, tho little hands too skillful,
And the child mind choked with weeds!
Tho daughter's heart grown wilful,
And tho father's heart that bleeds 1
No, no! from tho street's rude bustle,
From trophies of mart and atage,
I would fly to tho wood's low rustle,
And tho meadows kindly pago
Let mo dream as of old hy tho river,
And bo loved by tho dream always
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toller dies in a day.
John Boyle O'lttUtt.
Sortnon to Boys.
"D'yo know tbo rond to poverty?
Turn in ot any tnvcrn Big-i."
From tlio Gorman.
The old German poet wns right; ho
hnd scon "tho road forks nry side," nnd
know woll enough which way to go.
One turned in nt tho tavern sign ; tho
other branched towards tho holy hills of
Life. Would you sco what turning in
and drinking lias dono? Look at tho
bloated old man and tho young vnga'
bond ; noto tho unstcad step, tho coarse
jest, tho fumes that poison tho air in
their wake. Tlicso mou "know tho road
to poverty" and tho way to early graves.
Do you ovor bco mon with ernzed brains
and iiery eyes? Do you hear their wails
nnd calls for help? Tho poor fellows
turned in "at tho tavom sign," drank,
and drank, and lost thoir senses.
Ilavo you scon woo-worn womon,
whoso "eyes wcro hoavy and red?"
Thoy, very likely, wcro hoart-eorobecauso
thoir precious boys or foolish husbands
spont so much timo and money whoro
tho tempting cup goes round. Will
our boys turn in at tbo tnvorn sign?
Will our oyca bo red with weeping bc
causo thoso wo lovo havo tottered and
tumbled into wretched places? What
say you, boys?
Do you over sco littlo tattered Bturvo
lings going through tho streets asking
alms, bogging for bread? Do you over
sco children in winter days with bare
feet, nnd jackets out nt tho elbows, shiv
ering with cold littlo things fearing to
ask for a placo r.t your liro? Thoso hu
man waifs havo boon starved and
frozen out by tho "tavom sign." Toor
dears!
Hut thoro aro other roads to poverty
other signs that lead to death. Tho
brimming beer mug hanging out; tho
sign "frco lunch;" tho long rows of
bottles labolod "elixir," "extracts,"
"bitters," and various othor tompting
nnmoj, aro all guido posts loading to
poverty, shamo, insanity, death. Shun
thorn, boys, and tako tho rotid to tem
perance, to health, honor, nnd a green
old age.
The Kind ot Apples to Have.
Many peoplo buying fruit trees do it
, with very littlo knowledge nnd aro
hablo to rnako vory serious mistakes. As
such an investment is a permanent ono
it is worth while to tako timo and exer
cise care, l'oor apples or other fruit are
almost worthless, while good ones are of
immense vnluo whether for coiibumption
at homo or for sale. On the solection of
apples tho Into M. R. Batcham, for a long
timo secretary of the Ohio Horticultural
Society, onco said as follows :
Wo find that wo need threo clnes of
apples to bo in condition for use during
tho whole season. First not less than
two distinct nnd first class dessert or
eating varieties, always in mellow or
ripo condition, for tablo use or for visi
tors, to send by children to schoool, and
to give to less fortunate neighbors. This
will roquiro about n dozen varieties for
tho season. Second, one or two rich,
sub-acid varieties, of good size, for cook
ing in various ways, and for drying.
This will tako eight or ten varieties.
Third, sweat apples of tho best class for
taking. Of these we use more than of
tho tart varieties, as we deem baked
eweet apples quite a wholesome luxury,
provided tho varieties aro of tho best.
To havo n constant succession requires
six or eight kinds.
Thus it will bo seen that our model
family orchard requires not less than
thirty varieties. On n farm tho uumbor
of trees Bhould not bo les3 than forty or
fifty, allowing for two or threo each of
tho market varieties, and to provido
ngainBt lack in seasons of partial failuro
which quito frequently occur.
Soloction of Varioties. In naming
tho following list of tipples for n com
plcto family supply, I havo included
only such as aro found adapted to most
localities in tho northern half of Ohio,
and tho trcos of which aro for salo at
most of tho nursorics. With but vory
fow oxcoptious, tho snmo kind aro
known to do well in Western Now York
and Pennsylvania, Northorn Illinois,
Indiana and Southern Michigan. A fow
nowcr varictios, I think, nro superior to
somo of these, nnd I should desiro to in
cludo them in a model orchard, but tho
trees may not bo oasily found. Sev
eral of thoso named nro not kept at nil
nurseries, owing to their slendor growth,
or not boing sufficiently known ; nnd
when trees can not bo hnd, it is well to
plant somo othor kind of good growth,
thon tho next year send somowhero for
scions, nnd top-grnft thorn. Tho varie
ties of ench class aro nnmed in about
tho order of thoir timo of ripening or
uso. Whero two nro namod in connec
tion, cither ono will nnswer for tho timo
nnd purpose.
1. Dessert. Yellow Harvest, Pnmnto
or summor Koso, Hononi or Early
Strawberry, Fall Wino or Jcll'oris, Che
nango Strnwborry, Porter or Lowell,
Ilnmbo, Fntnou80, Belmont, Seokno
further, Grimes' Golden, Johnnthan, Red
Canada, Golden llussct.
2. Cooking Itcd Astrachnn, Keswick
Codlin or Trenton Early, Duchess of
Oldouburgh, Gravonstein or Aloxandor,
Fall Pippin, King of Amorican Beauty,
Ithodo Island Greening, Baldwin, Peck's
Plonsant, Itoxbury Ihissctt, Virginia
Greoning or Willow.
.'!. Unking Sweot Dough, " Goldon
Swcoting, Sweet Swnnr or Sweot Green
ing, Danvcrs Winter Sweet, Tallman
Sweeting, Bontloy Sweet. This last is
tho longest kocpor of all good sweet ap
ples ; honco it ought to bo moro gener
ally known. Tho Tillman is tho best of
all baking apples, tho Sweot Swnar noxt.
Of courso somo of tho sweot varieties
aro occasionally used for dessert, and
somo dessert varioties for baking, for a
change. Nothing noods to bo said about
elder.
Ant el Cake.
Thcro seems to bo no whito cako so
popular at tho present timo ns nngol
cako, or angels' food as somo term it.
Why so cnllcd I can not tell, unless it
Io on account ot its oxtromo lightness
and whiteness. I havo not seen a ro
cipo for it lately nnd so will givo you
mine. To 1.J tumblors pulvorizod
sugar, or tho very fino granulated, tnko
ono tumblorful of flour, tho whites of
ten eggs, ono tcaspoonful cream of tar
tar, and ono tcaspoonful extract o
lomon. Heat tho whites to a stiff froth,
then sift tho sugar, Hour, and cream of
tnrtnr together four or five timos so as
to mako it extromoly light, stir in lastly
tho stiff whites, beating just enough af
terwards to thoroughly incorporate
them wifli tho other ingredients. Put
into an unbuttored tin ono with a pipo
in tho centre is preforcblo and bnko-10
minutes in a slow oven. Turn upsido
down to cool, but put something
tho odgos to prevent its lay
ing on a flat surface, or it is apt
to becomo hoavy. Evory stop in this
process is nocessary to tocuro huccoss;
and if followed, will produce a 'food"
well worthy its name.
Graham Bread. Some ono has linked
for a recipe for graham bread, and horo
is ono I can rocommend : Ono teocup
ful wheat Hour, nnd .'t teacupfuls of tho
graham, 2 tablcspoonfuls molasses, 1
tcaspoonful salt, nnd yeast enough to
mako it rue. One-third of a yonst
cako would bo enough if tho compressed
yeast is used, or part of a tcaoiipful 'of
hop yeast if preferred. Mix and put
it into baking tins to rise at night. It
will bo all ready for baking just as soon
as the stovo is hot enough tho following
morning.
Ail Cud to llonr krruplug.
Edward Shepherd, of Harritburg, HI., sayss
"Having received so much benefit from Klec
trio Hitters, I feel it my duty to let sutfering
humanity ki ow it. Having had a running
sore on my leg for tight years; my (he tor
told me I would have to have the bone scrap,
ed or leg amputated. I used instead three
bottles of Kleotric Hitters and seven boxes of
Itucklen's Arnica Salve, and my leg is now
sound and well"

MY PETS.
Well, first I had a Maltcso cat,
Snooks by namo and cunning nt that,
With fur of grsy and oyes of blue,
And paws with which she scratched mo too.
Sho had a pretty bluo silk bed,
A pillow soft to rest her heed,
And for her very charmlnp ways
I think my Sncoks deserves much pralic.
Sho was the dcarost friend I had,
And when sho died I felt ao sad
I dug for her a littlo sravc,
Just whero tho calla lillles wave
A silver fox my grandpa sent,
Hut to join Snooky soon ho went,
It caught its head within tho door,
And died right thcro upon tho floor.
Then I bought a canary bird,
Which of my pets was tho third,
It ato its sood from out my hand,
Whilo on my head it took its atanc,
Ono night it flow up in tho gas,
And thus It died, alas! alas!
I put it in-a pepper box
And laid it bcsldo my cat and fox.
I had a dog that said, "bow, wow,"
Ho never loved mo much, somehow,
But whon at length my doggy died,
For nearly throo long days I cried.
Then noxt I got a parrot green,
That all day long did naught but scream;
Uecauso I gavo It fish to eat,
wrapped it in its winding sheet.
I had somo speckled fish of gold,
And onco when it was very cold,
With water hot I filled their dish,
Which put an end to my poor fish.
A pretty striped Jerusalem rat
Was oaten by a Yankee cat
A thing of which but fow can boast,
Of all my puts I loved It most.
And as for mico I'vo had a score,
Hut liko tho rest they aro no more,
Whilo all around my lilies now,
Aro fifteen graves or more, I vow.
And now I do most firmly say,
Hereafter all alono I'll play,
For pets aro always suro to dio
And mako my lifo so sad thereby.

It is not too Into to wish a happy

as woll as n wrong way to do this every
