As we sped out of youth's sunny apatlou, The tracer Rooms to Rhino in the light : Ent it suddenly shoots uvor olhtsms, And silks into tunnels of night ; And the hearts that were bravo in the morning Are filled with ropiniugs and fears, dji they paupu at the City of (sorrow, Or pass through the Valloy uf :roars. But the path for this perilous railway, Thu haled of rho Master has made With all its discomforts and dangers. We need not be sad or afraid, Roads leading from dark into rhtrltnoss, Bunds plunging from gloom to despair Wind out thro' the tunnels of midnight Tu the fields that are homing and fair, Tho' the rocks and ebo shadows surround us, Tho' wo catch not ono gleam of the day, Above us fair cities aro laughing And dripping white sleet so thoy say. Awl always—eternal—forever, Down ever tho wails in tho wort, The last final end of our journoy, There lies the groat Station of Rest. "ria the grand central point of all railways; All roads clnstor hero whore they end : 'Tis the llnal resort of all tourists ; All rival linos moot hero and blend. All tickets, or milo.boaks, or passes, If stolen, or begged for or bought, On whatever road or division, Will bring you at hist to this spot. It you pane at the City of Trouble, Ur wait in tho Valley of Tears, 1So patient—the train will Drove onward, And swoop down the track of rho years. Wherever the place is you seek for. Whatever your aim or your ghost, You will come at the last with rojotoing To the beautiful Station of host. JE'tr.rna Notofa. Forestry expenmeute are being made at the Ontario Yodel Farm. Sprouts aud suckers cut off frni t treos at this time tiro not likely to start again during tho season. Ants at times b000mo very trouble- some around and about the hives. A thorough application of strong salt brine iu the nest will destroy them. The Agricultural Collego Conven- tion recently held at Washington, pronounced strongly against the system of distributing seeds through members of Congress. All exeoss of drone comb should be removed from the hives. A very small patch is sufficient for till pitic- tical purposes, too many drones be- ing a detriment to the colony, act- ing as only so many idlo consumers. Tho tine dust from barley, espec- ially aftor it has been wot and dried, is very irritating to the skin, but thorough washing and a c:lutngo'of un- derclothing at night will afford re- lief and a comfortable sleep. The editor of the Farm, Field and Stockman was told that a teaspoon - full of coal oil poured into the wound made by peach borers, would kill tho insocte. He triad it and found it killed rho tree as well as the bor- ers. No kind of stock takos kindly to to head of barley, being repelled by its largo, stiff and sharp awns. What is left ou the field is therefore wasted except for its value as a green man- ure. The rakings of barley are al- ways moro stained than the bulk of the crop, and should be kept and threshed separately. Careful experiments by Dr. Strulo- vant of New York experiment station show that unripe tomato seed will give a gain of fifteen days in earli- ness over ripe seed from the auto plants. Ho also says that peas and corn fit for the table will grow and produce earlier crops than ripe seed, but plants from immaturo sped aro feoblo compared with those from ripe seed. Violc's Magazius:—To thoso who havo only north windows which are available for growing plants, 1 would recommend rho Chinos° Primrose, This is ovary thing oonsidered, the bust winter bloomer for sunless win- dows that I kuow;of, and can bo rohed on for a constant supply of flowers from November until "Nature awakes from her long sloop." A writer iu the Rural Canadian uttering a caution againstvarions im- prudoncies to which especially young farmers are proud, says:—Au hour's thoughtless exposure hes often re- sulted in life-long disease. A child aftor being overheated may lay the foundation for consumption, or work- ing in a cold rain bring on a rheum- atism flavor to bo got rid of. Whero oats or barley aro to bo fol- lowed by wheat tho pain should be out as slow as possible. A long stub- ble is in tho way in plowing and has so little manurial valno that it need' not be considered. Where the stub- ble is short the Rood bod can bo made much more compact, and for wheat decaying straw in tho soil is rathoz a disadvantage, as many have proved by turning under groan crops just be- fore sowing wheat and gotting poor rosults. Canadian Ilortioultnralist:---Theso fruit.growers havo reoently told us that they sprayed their plum trees this season with Pale groan, using a teaspoonful to two gallons of wat- er, and that their trees aro now loaded with fruit, Kttelien'Yrinkles.

To remove mildew, soak in butter- milk and spread on the grass in the sun. If nutmegs aro good, when pricked with a pin oil will instantly ooze out. To clean furniture that is not var- nished rub with a oloth wet with ker- osene. To prevent flat -irons from scorch- ing, wipe them on a cloth wet with kerosene. To prevent mustard -plasters from, blistering, mix with the white of an egg. To brighten or clean silver ornieklo- plated warn, rub with a woolen cloth and flour. Water iu which borax is disolved is good for the hair, and also to whiten tho fico and hands. Whore there is a crack in tho stove it can be mended by mixing ashes aud salt with water. To make paper stick to a wall that has boon whitewash, wash in vinegar and saleratns water. When clothes aro scorched, re- movo the stain by placing the gar- ment where the sun can shine on the stain. Starobed shirts will iron oasiar if you lot them (dry after starching so you will have to sprinkle them boforo ironing. The wings of turkeys, geese and chickens are good to rash and clean windows, as they leave no dust or lint, as cloth. To brighten the inside of a coffee or tea-pot, fill with water, add a small pisem of soap and let it boil about twenty minutes. Canadian No -svgs. John Smith, Sheriff of 13rant County, is dead.
