OUR CHILDHOOD.
T1 4 yet sweet to listen
To the soft yet gentle swell.
And to think we hear the rnuslo
Our childhood knew so weU;
To gaze out on the even
And the boundleKS fields of air,
And to feel our boyhood s wish
To roam like angels there.
There are many dreams of gladness
That ciinsc around the paat
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come thronging fast ;
The forms we loved so dearly
In the happy days now gone;
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those blithe and gentle maidens.
Who seemed so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such a world as this ;
Whose son dark eyes seemed swimming
In a aea of liquid light.
And whose locks of gold were streaming
O'er brows so sunny bright.
Whoe smiles were like the sunshine -
In the springtime of the year.
Like the changeful gleam of April,
Tbey follow every tear !
They have passed like hopes away,
And their loreliness has fled
Oh, many a heart is mourning "!
That they are with the dead. ,
Like the brightesLbnds of summer
Thev have fallen with the stem
Yet oh. It Is a lovely death
To fade from earth like them.
And we can but think of these.
In the soft and gentle spring,
When the trees are waving o'er us,
And theflowere blossoming :
And we know that winter's coming,
With hia cold and stormy sky.
And the glorious beauty round us
In huddinsr but to die.

A NIGHT WITH THE WOLVES..
Away we went at whirlwind speed
over tne criistening sneet oi unuw
which covered the whole country for
miles around.
Four splendid horses drew a sledge,
and we bounded along noiseiessiy,
smoothly, raaidly, like phantoms.
Suddenly one of the traces gave way,
and in an instant .11 our four horses,
young and high-spirited, were kick-
ing and plunging fearfully. 1 ne bro-
ken trace was only the least domage

vant, scrambled out, and seizing their
heads, stopped their pranKS, we iouuu
that thev had nearly kicked them-
selves free from the sledge.
It took us a full hour's worK to re-
rir fhfi damflce. and we were com
pelled to go at a compartively. slow
pace, for fear that something should I
again give way.
r lin-hrpd r citrM. and. well wrapped
in furs and cloaks, leaned lazily and
liixuriouslv back, enioving the gentle,
easv motion, and watching the four
horses'as they bounded along with the
light sledge.
On a sudden they burst into a iun-
ouscrallop. witn aiarxnea eyes mm
erected ears, the eage: horses disregar-
ded the utmost eflbrts of curb and
bridle, and dragged us forward with
a velocity I should have thought im-
possible. As there was no danger, I
was rather amused than otherwise by
thft trlnrioua Dace at which we were
o i
L'oi n ir.
All on a sudden, t ritz turned in nis
seat, and said, iu a low voice, nia lace
pale with emotion.
" lne wolves!"
I stood un in the sledce. and looked
hark. I could discern a dark mass In
!iow at a great distance.
alxmt ten minutes I heard a
sound in the distance which at first I
thotnrht was the whistling of the
wind.
It was the howling of the hungry
and ferocious pack or wolves on our
track. Closer and closer came the
dark mass ; plainer and plainer the
dreadful howls.
The arms we had, consisted of two
fowling-pieces and a brace of pistols,
Unfortunately, we had but a very
scanty stock of powder and ball, and
not more than enough for two orthree
dischai ees.
What is to be done v" l whispered
to Fritz. ...
'Fight! fisrht to the last!" he re
plied : "we must be overtaken. The
horses cannot hold out much longer.
It is yet quite twenty miles to the
chateau, and they will be upon us in
a few minutes, lia!" he cried, sud
denly, "I had forgotten there is yet
a irleam of hope!"
And now he lasned tne norses. al
ready at their utmost speed, and even
stabbed them repeatedly with his
huntine-knife. to urge them on to
fresh exertions. -
Ahead of ua was small forest, or
rather wood. It was distant some
two miles; but owing to the white
sheet of snow between, looked much
nearer.
The chase continued.

Their howls were fearful. I fired two

wounded. In an instant tneso were
surrounded by the others, who quick

For a moment or two they scratched

It was not lone before the furious

Next thev attempted to climb to the

mere was no cnimney to me nut,
but merely an aparture in the roof for
the smoke to escape. It contained a
rude fire-place, and, fortunately for
us, mere were still embers fcmouiaer
ing. There was also a little green
brushwood in the hut, which Fritz
hastened to cast in the fire. As it
caught and burned up, it gave rise to
dense volumes of smoke, which, pour-
ing through the aparture in the roof,

But after a time the smoke began to
clear, tne green wood was all gone,
and the wind, which now was high,
blew aside the smoke from the hole in
the roof.
In a very short time we nreceived
the gleaming eyes, and-;red mouth
half open, of a monstrous wolf, look
down on us.
"We struck at him with the butt-end

Fritz took a piece of burning wood.
mounted to the aperture, and waved
u around, wolves, like all wild beasts,
are in mortal oread or nre, and we
SOon heard them scamper off the roof.
All through the long night we heard
the howling 'of the ferocious pack,
who had now regularly terrified us,
for, although scared by the fire, they
attempted the roof no more, but re
mained all around the hut.
All thintrs have their end. and so at
last had this long and dismal nignt.
The day broke at last, and Fritz arous
ing himself, piled on tne, nre every
available bit of wood he could find.
Suddenly our eyes, which were fixed
incessantly on the aperture, saw. three
of the largest wolves looking down
upon us. I nred my last charge or
powder, and the dead body of one fell
through. Soon another and fiercer
lot succeeded those we had driven
away, and we had now no more pow
der or snot to drive them back. f
Clubbincr our rruns. we struck fiiri-
ously at them, all the time shouting
loudly. Several fell wounded and in
capable of injury into the hut, but
others at once took their places.
At last one great nrute set the ex
ample, and crouching for an instant,
sprang right at Fritz, at the same time
giving a terrible yell.
fortunately old Fritz was enabled
to spring on one side, and the moment
the wolf landed, he dashed out his
brains with the gun he wielded.
Hardly was this accomplished than
another and another leaned down.
and these were followed by still more,
which -all our efforts could not keep
back. Furiously we fought with the
desperation of despair, for we had al
most given up hope. Several times I
leit tne langs of the wolves in mv
flesh; but by almost superhuman ex
ertion freed myself, and laying abo t
me rint ana lert, sent the shaggy
brutes sprawling under the terrible
force of my blows. A
Weary, faint, and despairing, I stag-
gered, and was about to fall, when a
loud shout from outside, followed hv
a rapid and sustained discharge of fire-
arujs, gave me iresn strength, and once
again nerved my arm.
Another shout outside, and a still
closer discharge, informal ua that

is progressing satisfactorily. The new
cable is almost identical in construc
tion with those which were completed
in 1868, the only difference being that
the diameter of the conducting copper
core is slightly greater, and the outside
wires are of homogeneous Bessemer
steel, galvanized, having a breaking
strain of about 1,000 pounds, while the
wires outside the existing Atlantic
lines having breaking strain of about
600. pounds. The new cable will be
laid in two lengths one from Brest to
St.-Pierre, in deep sea, of 2,32-5 miles,
not including slack, and the other
from.StPierr&-to the terminus of 122
miles in length, not including slack.
The latter section will be similar to
the Persian Gulf cable, a3 it wili have
to be laid in comparatively shallow
water, and its exterior wires will be
protected with Bright and Clark's
patent siliceous compound, which
consists principally of powdered flint
and pitch. The construction of the
shore ends will be similar to that of
the existing Atlantic lines, and will
gradually become thinner until they
assume the deep sea dimensions. Du
ring the summer her Majesty's ship
Gannet took sounding along the pro
posed route, and from the results of
the operations it is understood that
the bottom of the ocean is nearly the
same in character as the bed in which
the existing cables are laid, and of
about the same depth. Little but
mud and ooze were found along the
route. In order to avoid the dangers
of injury from rocks and icebergs, the
new. line will be laid to the south of
the present cables, below the southern
edge of the Great Bank, so that it may
be laid in deep water. Sir James An
derson who will command the great
Eastern during the expedition organ
ized for the submergence of the line,
has made the following observations
regarding the Newfoundland Banks : J
"By keeping in the 500 fathom line
upon the Milne Bank, and around,
the southern edge of the Grand Bank,
there i3 no possibility of ice or any oth
er agency that can be suggested Inju
ring the cable. The northern edge of
the Grand Bank was avoided because
it i3 uncertain at what depths the ice
bergs ground. They are said upon
good authority, to ground at times in
ninety fathoms. It is not certain at
what depth the vessels employed in
the seal trade may sometimes choose
to drop an anchor for the purpose of
keeping In the track oi ice-noes, l nese
dangers are avoided by the track cho
sen for the proposed cables, and I am
justified by my own experience in
saying that the track from the south
ern edge of the Grand Br.nk to St.
Pierre, and thence to the place of Ian
ding intAmerica, is entirely free from
any danger from ice, and does not
cross any anchorage resorted to by the
fleet of fishing vessels." The breaking
strain of the new steel cable will be 7J
tons, and the strain, required for sub
mersion need not be more than four
teen cwt. Even if it at any time be
4 necessary to haul up any portion of it
already laid, the strain need not ex
ceed a ton and a half in the deepest
water. '1 he weight or copper forming
the conductor of the existing Atlantic
cables is 300 pounds per knot; in the
new cable it will be about 400 ponnds.
The Great Eastern has arrived at
Sheerness, whence she will proceed
with the cable probably in the end of
next June. After leaving the Medway
she will go to Brest to finish coaling,
and will thence start on the telegraph
ic expedition.

Agricultural Department.
This Department of our paper 'n .2 ,.r th
conn of of Col. R. W. Furxas, to whom
all communications on "Aericulturo"
should be addressed.
Department of Agriculture.
" Most of our readers doubtless are
aware that a few years ago the Govern
ment established a 'new Department
at Washington called the Department
of Agriculture. This Department was
first placed under charge of Isaac
Newton, as Commissioner of Agricul
ture; a specimen of the "fine old gen
tleman school ; ' of quaker procliv
ities, and decidedly "old fogyish" in
almost everything. . In addition to
thi3 unfavorable feature, the Depart
ment was stuck away in the under
ground portion of the Interior Buil
ding. Under these and other circum
stances the Department of Agricul
ture war not accomplishing what its
originators or the friend3 of Agricul
ture thought the United States desired,
but was fast becoming an unpopular
institution. An effort was made a
year or so ago to supercede Mr. New
ton, but without success. Shortly
after, Mr. Newton died, and Gen.
Horace Capron being prominently
connected with the Agricultural affairs
of Illinois, was appointed to fill the
vacancy.. He immediately renovated
the whole Department, and infused
into it new life and energy. A new
Building expressly for the Depart
ment was completed the past season
on grounds in the vicinity of the
Smithsonian Institute, and the De
partment is now in its new quarters.
Gen. Capron will now have an oppor
tunity to further develop matters.
Prof. Glover, with whom we have
long enjoyed an intimate and pleasant
acquaintance, will now have abun
dant opportunities and facilities for
putting into successful operation his
pet scheme, the "Agricultural Muse
um." This is one of the features of
the Department to which the Prof.
has given years of attention. His idea
is to have a collection of fruits, grains,
products of all kinds, together with
insects and birds, either injurious or
beneficial, from all the States, classed
and arraigned in order as States. This
is already done to a considerable ex
tent, and when completed, will be
both interesting and beneficial beyond
calculation.
When are Grapes Itipet
There is, and ha3 been for years, a
diversity of opinions among 'grape
growers and wine makers as to when
a grape is ripe. We suppose this de
pends somewhat on locality, soil, and
variety. But whichever of these char
acteristics may control it is yet es
sential to know when this proper ripe
ness occurs. With a view to settle
this question, the "Kelly's Island
Wine Company" have made'extended
and careful expeiiments the past ten
seasons. The experiments were made
on the Cawtaba Grape from the time
they were fit for use, Oct. 22d, until
the season was completed, Nov. 13th
The result showed a gradual gain In
the Weight of must, until the close of
the season. The company purchased
691 different lots of grapes, weighing
Three Hundred and Fifty Tom. Their
average was 83 and 3-5 hundredths de
grees. The average of lots taken in
between the loth and 19th of Oct., was
80 and 6 hundredth degrees. The av
erage of lots taken after the loth of
Nov., was SS and 13 hundredth de
grees, a iracticu over lu.per cent, tn
favor of the late gathering. Wo had
no idea of the particular difference in
the per cent., but our experience ha
been a marked difference in the grapes
anowea to remain on tno vines as
long as possible.

Old Governor H-
ofG-
County, W lsconsin, has already fig
ured in your pages.1 -Many are the
iaugnaDie stones toid or him. 1 re
member seeing him once in a state of
mind usually called wrath. The cir
cumstances were as follows : The Gov
ernor, returning home from a tour to
the northern part of the State, put up
ioruie nignt at a hotel in the nourish
ing and beautiful village of Princeton,
situated on the Fox River. Tr.j next
morning, after arriving at home, he
discovered that he had left his trunk
at the hotel, twenty miles away. He
just, then saw one of his ncighbo
going to Princeton, and in his mo
pompous style requested him "to cali
at the hotel and see If there was not a
little trunk there belo'nirin? to him.?'
"Yet. with pleasure." .replied "the
kind and obliging neighlor. Yv'hen
ready tx return lie found his wngon
heavily loaded ; the trunk proved' to
be a large and well-til led. traveling
trunk, quite heavy, and it was quite
certain, on the principle of antecedent
probabilities, that he would never get
a cent for his trouble ; so. seelnir that
it was safe at the hotel, he drove home.
As he approached the residence of the
Governor, the latter went out nnd
opened the gate, expecting the trunk
wouiu oe taueu in and left at the door.
The farmer told him he was not com
ing in. "But," says the Governor,
"did you not get my trunk?" "No;
you didn't ask me to get it." "Did
not? What would you call it I asked
you?" thundered the exasperated
Governor. "Why, you asked me to
look and see if it was there. I did sx,
and you will find it safe there any day
by just driving over to Princeton.
Good -day, Governor, pood-day!"
Suffice it to say the Governor didn't
ask that neighbor to do any more er
rands for him.

is not that the principles of the Re

For the abolition of slavery alone it
ought to be able to retain possession of
the government lor a quarter of centu

selves that we made a narrow escapa
from a defeat in the October elactior:?,
and that if we had lost those elections
we should have less cause for rejoicing
to-day. The Democracy were much
nearer to victory on the 13th of Oct
obcr than they have been at any tima
since the election of JumesRuchanan ;
and this, r.otwith-dandingthslr declar

to our view atrocious, while those cf

that they

If they could forget that that Institu

it has been abolished, we might ex
pect that they would now put them
selves on a level with existing fact?,
and lay out a program me for the futura
which would promise them at lea3t
what Mr. Seymour so plteously asked
for enough power to check the ex
travagancies of their opponents. This
they have not obtained in the recent
elections. They will be relatively
weaker in the Senate than they hava
been at any time since 1852, whilo in
the House thty will bo but a tria
