They took a plough and ploughed him down. Put doda upon his head; And they hae sworn a solemn oath John Barleycorn was dead. Bnt the eheerful spring earno kindly on. And sbow'rs begun to fall; John Burleycorn yime up affaln. And sore surprised them all. Tho sultry suns of summer came. And he grow thick and strong; His bend well armed with pointed spears That none should do him wrong-. The sob r autumn entered mild. When he gTew wan and pale; Hie bonding Joints und drooping head Showed he began to faiL His color sickened more and mors. He faded into age; And then his enemies began To show their deadly rags. They've ta'cn a wenpon, long and sharp. And cut hini by the kno; Then tied him fast upon a cart. Like a rogue for f orgerie. They laid him down npon his bek, And cudgelled him full sore; They hung him up before tho storm. And turned liiiu o'er and o'er. They filled up n darksome pit. With water to he brim; ITiey heaved In John Barleycorn, Then lot him sluk ar swim. They laid him wit upon tho floor. To work him farthor woe; And still, as sign of life appeared, They tossed him to and fro. They roamed o'er a s-orctilng flint, The marrow of his B-n-8; Rut a miller aud hint worst of all He crushed him twist two stones. A.d they bar ta'en his heart's best bload. And drank it rouud and round; And still the arire aud more tbey drank, Thir Joy did more abound. John Barleycorn was a hero bold, Of nolile entnryrite; For If you do but trtsto his blood, 'Twill make yjr owMragcrisc. 'Twill make a nns forget his woo, 'Twill brighten all b.s Joy; 'Twill make the widow's hoart to sine. Tho' tho tear be ia her eye.

Z3 Ezz c It was linlf past nix, on Wednesday evening, in tlie. month of Jumntiy, Mrs. Wright lind taken from a closet, a basket of stockings, and as she Blood with lier hand upon tho knob of the sitting room door, she cast a hasty glance around the apartment. S!i was the sofa where her husband, lav. with baby Willie In his arms, and already in a slumber she thought: "That's always the way If he Ss'nt readinpr, he's asleep. He never thinks that I'm tired I think he might help me children with their studies to night," while her face flushed with anger and her eyes had what her hus- tanu sometimes, jestingly called 'The snap in 'em." "What does ail me? I cannot solve this problem," said Frank, looking wistfully in his mother's face; but his eyes fell quickly upon his slate again with the reflection ".Mother ia too tired to help me." Dwight was In a fog about a philo- "Bophical illustration of light, which he declared was all darkness to his mental vision. Laura had been vainly search ing her atlas for tlie whereabouts of St. Anna's Island during the last half hour a general perplexity seemed, for the time being, to possess all the chil dren. Mrs. Wright jerked the darning needle through the stocking she was mending as though site held a spite for tlie sheep that bore the wool from which tins yarn was made; hitched nervously m 1kt chair, and siched deeply. The children exchanged glances, looked pityingly at their moth er, and tried to utudy as best they could; Then little seven year old Fliut looked up from "ilouteith's First' and began "C-h-a p. Chap., u-l-ul-Chapul-t e-te-ChapuIte-p-e-c-pec-Chap-ultepec funny anyhowl Is that what it spells? Alauinia? The gloomy ex pression upon the mother's face disap peared instantaneously before a happy smile as tJie replied 4Xo, dearl She pwl-te pec is the correct pronuncia tion." "That's fnnnier yet!" he exclaimed at wh ch the children all joined in a hearty laugh, and tlie tired mother so forgot the aeglect of her deeping hus band that she took a shawl liom a closet and spread ever him; at tho I same time stooping to kiss the babe in his arms whispering in hec heai t "Bless Maratna's darling!'' Mow there was Ireard tho lively jin gle of sleishbella at the gate, and tlie nexj moment the door opened, and as the children exclaimed all at once "Oh, Auntie Fliat!" their greeting was aiw wered will "Mo time for ceremony Nell Wright, get en your heaviest wrappings I'm jor escot to town Mot a word excuse cow, get ready would sink to-night when I asked him to show me the goods. I was positively afraid tlie man was going to drop down when I Baid, 'You are sick, Air. Eastman.' And J!rs. Easttnan will whine herself to death if she continues to go on in the way she did to-night. She's been sick so long, poor thing! It's no wonder she whines." "Why Mell, don't yoa know that Eastman has gone to smash? Didn't Md tell vou? And niw, Mell, don't you wish you had married him instead of Ned, when you had the chance?" "Mo; I never did wish so. I would have married Ed Wright if he had been a hod carrier. But I have often wished that lfe was not a farmer; for. Mate, I do think that farmers' wives have the drudginest lives of any women in this world." "Yes, and it's, because the most of them make It so. Mow take yourself for sample just worked to death every day of your life, and perfectly able to hire help. I like neat housekeeping, but when the kitchen stove has to be so polished every day lhat it looks like a mirror; hen the knives and forks have to be scoured everv meal, ntul somebody must fork hereelf to Jeath because the dishcloth is hung on the wrong nail, then, I say, somebody is possessed with tlie demon of neatness. I know women who keep their children Adrlanople and Its 31a nn fact n res. Adrianople is about one hundred and thirty-flvo miles from Constanti nople, it is about live miles In circum- ferenct, surrounded by old walls and defended by a citadel. Its streets are narrow and circular, but adorned with fountains and mosques, of which there are about forty. It was taken by the Turks from the Greek Emperors In J3J, and made the seat of their empire, which it continued to remain for a number of years. It possesses manu factories of silk, woolen, and cotton stuffs. Rose-water and other perfumes are made here, while the dyeing and tanning establishments have quite a Forld-wlde fame. Its ei ports are rool, opium (for tho poppies here are Jie linestin the world), leather, honey. Ana wax. llie population is about 100,000, of which one-third is (Jreek. The bazaar and the mosque of Sellm are the great attractions at Adrianople. The former is a building about two hundred yards long, and otTers for sale all tho rich commodities of the East. The mosque is built like a theatre, and from the ruins of Famaguesta, in Cyprus. Its principle balcony has an ascent of 377 steps. Adrianople was, it need not be said, one of the great classic cities of ancient Rome, and it ngureii frequently in Gibbon's "Decline outof.school one day every week to nd fal1 t,ie Kornan Empire." It remained practically the nearest ap proach to an old Roman city until it fell under the Turkish power In 13C0. It remained the favorite residence for he Sultan until th last century Adrianople once more awakened to political life in 1823, about the time of the great successful Greek struggle for independence and freedom from the thrall of the Turks. In that vear tha scour tlie tin and scrub the floors. That's robbery and murder both. I wouldn't let anybody scour my tin pans they wear out fast enough with out. When I hear women, sick with tlie .dish cloth maiiLi, and worn out fighting cobwebs, say that they can't go any where, and never get time t read a newspaper, I think it's about time tliey were buriei."

From the basket of kindlings plac ed at the end of the wood box in tlie tidy kitchen, to the corners of tlie eel lar, and obscure portions of tlie garret order reigned; and, as for drawers, and cupboards, she knew just the position of every article they contained llrs. Wright's house lacked nothing of comfort, or convenience; but its mis tress, notwithstanding: all its orderly arrangements, seemed sadly out of or. der herself. If her thoughts had been spoken, as she stood wiih hand upon the door knob, a listener might have heard the following: if ever there was a mortal needed rest, us myself hut here s the stock ings to darn there's always something to ao it s always the way on a farm Oh, dear! I don't wonder Widow White is so opposed to her daughter's marrying farmers." When Mrs. Wright entered the sit ting room, where five of her children had been busy with their books for the now, honey; an' De man dat gits i say.' 'lOh, indeed I cant go ifite. Do yon stay here!

Alary, too, was overtasked and like her Alother, she elt that there was always something to do, and never any time to rest. Airs. Wright seated herself in the rocking chair, and set down the basket with a dash. Then glancing: vexedly at j around the ladies now seated in the slcigli. "Well you cant," responded his sister, "you and Flint have been in town all day; and now Nell and I are going to see what you have been about so, mind tho orders now, help those children get their lessons- darn those stockings, and take good care of the baby Nell and I won't be home before two o'clock Do you hear?" The latter pari of this sentence, was met with: Well, I'll go up to Flint's and we'll make a bachelor's club. So good bye. and a merry ride to vou." It ws a bitter cold night. The full moon was pouring a glory of brightness over the snow clad prairies; and the old blacks seemed to have recovered the fleetness of their younger years, and the live miles of road lying between Air. Wright's and Wellington was soon travelled. "Where shall we go first?" enquired Airs. Flint. "To Eastman's store to do our trad ing; then let us call on Airs.

Baynrd Taylor, still retains the pictur esque Saracenic archilectuie of tho times of the Caliphs. Tlie houses are mostly three stories in height, each story projecting over tlie other, and the plain stone walls are either whitewash ed or sti ipvl with horizontal red bus, in a manner which would tie nhsurd under a northern sky, but which is here singularly haimonious and agreo able. The only signs of sculpture are occasional do i ways with richly carved arches, on the light maible gallery surrounding a founlained court, j saw a few of these in retired nnrianf the city. Tho traveller, however, has an exhnnslless source of delight in the "wwii u.uuuiiies enclosing me upper windows. The extraordinary li ght tiess, grace and delicate fragility of their workmanship, rendered more striking by contrast with the naked solidity of the walls to which they cling, gave me a new idea of the skill and fancy of the Saracenic architects.

A mode of cultivation of the potato highly recommended for garden opera tion in Europe, consists in placing on soil, deeply dug or tilled, halves of ordinary-sized potatoes, at certain inter vals apart, or better, perhaps, whole potatoes, at greater distances nssunder, and in regular lines. Tlie potato, which is not placed in a furrow, is cov ered with a light layer of earth. In such good conditions of ventilation it is not long in penetrating the layer of mould, and after a few days it is re peatedly earthed up to accelerate the growth. This method of planting is said to give very much better results than the common method of planting In furrows, while the potato acquires its m. urity before disease is declared. The potato, coming originally from Pe ru, a country much hotter than ours, requires air and heat for its develop ment under good condition, and tlie earth which surrounds it can only be regarded as a support, a medium around which aa much air and heat should be made to circulate as possible. To put it in a cold trench, compact and moist, is to hinder its growth and re duce its production considerably, also to subject it voluntarily to tlie uio! tioublesome influences of disease.

The AhTnjr or the ."Vest. While the hen is silling upon her egg for incubation, is as necessary as it ia that she should be regularly fed daily, and temporarily relieved from her mo notonous duly. This needful process serves two im portant objects at the same time; tho hen is temporarily benelitted by tha means, and the contents of the eggs, as they are being brought forward, are, refreshed through the pores of the shells thus aiding the embryo chick. to draw invigoration from the clear outside atmosphere. This service is not thought of by many poultrymen; but if the hens do. not voluntarily leave their eggs every day, for half an hour or so, the keeper should take them gently from the nests, and see that they get food, water and a dust bath before they return to their work. This performance will materially as sist in the successful hatching every time; and the trouble it entails is so. slight that this nutUr is worthy of small consideration.
