Paar 1.
\Vliile I relate my story,
Americans give ear;
Of Britian’s fading glory I
You presently shall hear.
I’ll give a true relation—
Attend to what I say,
Concerning the Taxation
Of North America.
Oh! the cruel lords of Britian,
Who glory in their shame,
The projects tllcy have hit on
" 'l‘hey joyfully proclaim ;
’Tis what they’re striving after,
Our rights to take away,
And rob us of our charter
It. North America. ‘
There are two mighty speakers
Who rule in Parliament,
Who always have been seeking
Some mischief to invent;
’Twas North, and Bute his father, ‘
This horrid plan did lay. .
A mighty tax to gather
In North America.
He searched the gloomy regions
Of tlle infernal pit,
To find among those legions
One who excelled in wit;
To ask of him assistance,
Or tell them how they may
Subdue without resistance,
This North America.
Old Satan the arch traitor,
Resolved a voyage to take,
Who rules sole navigator
On the burning lake;
For the Britannic ocean
He launcliesfar away,
To land, he had no notion
In North America.
He takes his seat in Britian,
It was his full int‘ent,
Great George’s throne to sit on,
And rule the Parliament.
His comrades were pursuing
A diabolic way
For to complete the rule
Of North America.
He tried the art of magic
To bring his schemes about, .
At length the gloomy project
He artfully found out; \
The plan was indulged, ‘
' In a clandestine way,
But, lately was divulged
In North America.
PART il.
These subtle arch contrivers,
Addressed the British court,
All those were undersigners,
For to observe report——
There is a pleasant landscape, .
. That lieth far away
Beyond the wide Atlantic,’
I In North America. .
\
There are a wealthy people
Who sojourn in that land;
Their churches all with steeples
, Most delicately stand;
Their houses, like the galleys,
Are painted red and gay;
They flourish like the lilies
In North America.
Their land with milk and honey
Continually doth flow,
The want of food and money
They seldom ever know ;
They heap up gold and silver,
They have no debts to pay,
They spend their time in pleasure
In North America.
o
On turkeys, fowls and fishes,
Most frequently they dine,
With gold and silver dishes
Their tables always shine;
They crown their feasts with butter,
They eat and rise to play,
In silks their ladies flutter
In North America.
With gold and silver lace
They do themselves adorn,
The rubies deck their faces,
Refulgent as the mom. ,
Wine sparkles in their glasses,
They spend each happy day
In merriment and dances,
In North America.
Let not our suit offend you,
When we address your throne,
0 King, this wealthy country
. And subjects are your own.
And you, their rightful sovereign
They truly must obey,
You have a rigllt to govern them
In North America. -
0 King, you’ve heard the sequel
Of what we now subscribe,
.Is it not just and equal
To tax this wealthy tribe?
The question being asked,
His Majesty did say,
My subjects shall be taxed
In North America.
Invested with a warrant,
My publieans shall go,
The tenth of all their current
They surely shall bestow;
If they indulge rebellion,
Or from my projects stray,
'I’ll send my whole battallion
To North America.
I’ll rally all my forces,
By watia’nd by land,
My light dragoons and horses,
Shall go at my command.
I’ll burn both town and city,
With smoke becloud the sky.
c I’ll show no human pity
To North America.
Go on my hearty soldiers
You need now fear no ill—
There’s Hurley, Hills and Rodgers,
And Johnston will fulfill.
They tell such ample stories,
Believe them sure we may,
That half of them are tories
In North America.
My gallant ships are ready
To waft you o’er the flood,
And in my cause he steady,
Which is supremely good.
Go!‘ ravage, steal and plunder,‘
And you shall have the prey;
They quickly will knock under
In North America.
The laws I have enacted j
I never will revoke,
Although they are neglected,
My fury to provoke;
I will forbear to flatter,
I’ll rule with mighty sway,
I’ll take away their charter
From North America.
, ' Pan'r ill.
0 George! you are distracted,
By and experience find,
The laws you have enacted
Are of the blackest kind.
I’ll make a short digression,
And tell you by the way,
We fear not your oppression
In North America.

' Our fathers were distressed
\Vhile in their native land,
By tyrants were oppressed,
. As I do understand;
For freedom and religion
They were resolv’d to stray,
._ And trace the desert regions
Of North America.
' Heaven was their sole protector,
\Vliile on the roving tide,
Kind fortune their "director,
And Providence their guide.
- If I am not mistaken,
About the first of May,
This yoyagc was undertaken
' For North America.
[Sept 16th.
To sail theywere commanded,
About the hour of noon,
At Plymouth shore. they landed,
The twenty-first of June. [Dec 21st.
The savages were nettled, ..
\Vitli fear they fled away,
And peacefully they settled
In North America.‘
We are their hold descendants,
For (Liberty) we will fight; ,
Tile name of Independence
We. challenge as our right.
What Heaven has freely given,
No one‘ can take away, .
Kind lleaven, too, will save us
Ill North .\111€l'l(‘.11.
We never will knock under,
0 George, we do not fear '
The rattling of your thunder, ,
Nor lightning of your spear.
Thqugli rebels you declare us, -
We’re strangers to dismay,
Therefore you cannot scare us
In North America. '
I
To what you have commanded
\Yc never will consent,
Although your troops are land
Upon the continent. ‘
We’ll take our swords and musket-s,
And march in bright array,
And drive.the British rustics
From North America. .
We have a bold commander,
Who fears not sword n01: gun, ‘
The second Alexander,
His name is Washington.
His men are all collected,
And ready for the fray,
To fight they are directed
For North America.

We have Greene, Gates and Putnam,
To manage in the field,
A gallant train of footmen,
Who’d rather die than yield;
A stately troop of horses,
Train’d in a martial way,
For to augment our forces
In North America.
. .
Proud George, you are engaged
All in a dirty cause, .
A cruel war hath raged,
Repugnant to our laws;
Go, tell the savage nation
You’re crueller than they,
To fight your own relation
In North America.
Ten millions you’ve expended,
And twice ten million more,
Our riches you intended
Should pay the mighty score.
Who now will stand your sponsor,
Your charges to defray,
For sure you cannot conquer
I This North Ameriga.
I’ll tell you, George, in metre,
If you attend a while,
We forced your St. Peter
At Sullivan’s fair Isle,
At Monmouth, too, we gained
‘ The honour of the day—
. The victory obtained
' In North America.
Surely We were your betters
Hard by the Brandywine;
We laid him fast in fetters,
Whose name was Burgoyne,
We make your horse to tremble
With terror and dismay, ’
The heroes we rOsemble
In North America.
Confusion to the Tories,
That black, infernal name;
In what Great Britian glories,
Forever to their shame; ‘
We‘ll send each foul revolter
To smutty Africa, ’
0r noose them in a halter
In North America,
A health to our brave footmen,
Who handle sword and gun,
To Greene, Gates and Putnam,
And conquering Washington.
Their names ,be wrote in letters
Which never shall decay,
While sun and Moon do glitter
In North America.
Success unto our allies,
In Europe and in Spain, .
Who man their ships and galleys
Our freedom to maintain;
May they subdue the rangers
Of boasting Britannia-
And drive them from their anchors
In North America.
Success unto the Congress
Of the United States,
Who glory in the'bonquest
Of Washington and Gates.
To all, both land and seamen,
Who glory in their day,
When we shall all be freemen
In North America.
Success to legislation,
That rules with gentle hand,
To trade and navigation,
By water and by land;
May all with one opinion,
Our wholesome laws obey,
Throughout this whole'dominion
In North America. _

who used to edit in a fearful and wonderful
way a newspaper in Missouri, is now editor
of The Raleigh Sentinel, where he unfolds
himself under the motto: “Democratic al-
ways and under all circumstances.” His
style remains unchanged. In a recent article
complaining of the inactivity of Congress he
takes occasion to say : “A rush of billings-
gate fol-de-rol, 01d womanish criminations
and recriminations. — A blatherskite parade
of fustain patriotism, which talks, talks eter-

clerks and workingwomen. A sticking up of

now run NAME or “momma” sM'im A LIFE.
Old Job Dawson had been duly elected to
the rtngnsible position of a justice of the
peace, and this was his first case that demand-
ed his attention. Job was a veteran moun-
taineer, and had lived in the shadow of the
lofty peaks, hunting, trapping and fighting In-
dians, to use his own words, “ Sense Adam
warn kid.” In that rough region an accuse.
tion of a great crime against any one is but a
forerunner of a “ hanging bee,” and a trial is
seldom ever thought of. Blit in the present
instance, a wild" “cuss” who had been fre-
quenting the settlements, had been appropria-
ting a “ broncho” (Indian pony) belonging to
a neirrhboring ranchman, and had been pur-
su‘haptured, and brought back. Old Job
was summoned to try the culprit, and a spot
in the rocky gulch near the squire’s cabin was
selected as the site for the investigation. A
motley crowd of hunters, trappers, miners,
and ranclieros were present. Some were ly-
ing' on the gonad and others sitting upon
the rocks, all anxiously awaiting the squire’s
coming. Job soon came from towards the
cabin,‘ and, with dignified air seated himself
upon a bbulder, took off his bearskin cap,
and said: ‘
“Fellers, the court are ready to git down
to biz, an’ I want yer all to cheese yer racket
an’ let up on that chin music according to law.
Throw yer hair in sight, an’ pay ’tention to
the courtf” '
Every but came of at this command and
his honor, glancing around the circle, said:
“Whar is the darncuss ?”
Three mountaineers armed with Henry ri-
fies and six-shooters, stepped forward with
the thief, a. young man' wearing a bold, devil
may-care expression. .His hands were secure-
ly fastened behind his back with buckskin
thongs. Clad in buckskin from head to foot,
he presented a picturesque appearance as he
faced the squire.
“ Wat do yer call yer when yer at home i”
asked t1; court. I
“ Aint got any home, leastways in these
parts,” sullenly replied the prisoner. ' I
. “ Aint hey? Well, what’s the name yer tuk
w’en you left the states, then 1””
“ The boys hyar on the hills call me Tiger
Jim. ”
“ Well, Tige yer spotted a boss thief,» an I
reckon that’s something ' in it, or the boys
wouldn’t a brought you in. You can’t ex-
‘pect a tony trial like you’d get down to Lam-
mie or in enypf them towns along the road.
We haven’t eny paper, pens, or ink, or eny of
that sort of foolishness up hyar in the
hills, an’ thar aint. one of us could engineer:
’em if we had, - ’ll jist grind yer through.
an’ do the best we can for ye'r. In the name
of the law I now ask yer did you collar that
boss—but step ’er right thar, doggone it, I
forgot to swar you. Cum mitey near forgit-
tin’ it. Hold up yer right han’l”
“ Hold up nothin’. How kin I when they
are tied titer’n blazes l” '
“ That’s so. Yer k’rect, Tige, but guess eny
_ member of- the body’ll be ’cordin’ to law -in
'xtreme cases. 'Steddy him a little, fellers,‘
so’s he kin hold up his right foo .”
Tige raised his inocassin covered foot while
a guard on each side held him in position.
“ Now, then, I ain’t a fly on them ar law-
yers afiydavys, but I’ll makeIher stout enough
to hold a Mexican mule. Tiger Jim, do you
swear by‘ the Holy Moses, accordin’ to the
laws of Wyoming Territory, thet every time
yer chip into my racket ye’ll give us the squat
truth? An’ cf yer don’t; do yer hope that yer
may get chawed up by a grizzly, chopped to
pieces by Sioux, strung up to a pine with a
rope ’round yer neck, an’ fail to connect on
heaven w’en yer light goes out, to the best of
yer understandin’ as provided bylaw, s’help
yer God, eh?" ..
“ That’s jist wa’t I does, pardy.".
“ Now, Tige, yer under oath, an’ ev’ry time
yer speak yer want to hit the bull’s eye. Did
yer hear that, boss ?”
“Wall, Uncle Job, there’s no use 0’ lyin'
’bout it, an’ I’ll tell you jist how it war. Las’
night you know thar war a jamboree over to
Al. Milking’s ranch in-Miller’s Gulch, and I
war that. Al. had bin in Larimc City, an’got
a keg 0’ good old'budge, an, we all‘got purty
full. After the dancin’ war over, I pulled'out
fur Bowle’s ranch; whai' I am ‘ hangin’ out,
an’ as I war staggerin’ down round Mountain
Cat Hill, I runs right onto the broncho that
war picketed out in the grass, an’ war jist
drunk enough to mount him an’ lit'e out. I
know I’m going to swing for it, an’ I’ll die
game, too. I ain’t worth a cuss, anyway, an’
of it warn’t for my good old mother back in
the States (here the tears began to roll down
his bronzed cheeks( who never closes her eyes
’thout pyayin’ God to send me back to her, I’d
laugh at death an’ help yer fix the rope; - but.
when I think of that darlin’ old soul I get weak-
en’r a wounded antelope. I tell ye fellers I’ve
bin a tough cuss ever since I struck out for
these mountains,~an’ I s’pose the world’ll be
better ’thout me\in it. My old mother will
suffer, I know thet, for I’m 'her only kid, an’
hev sent her every ounce 0’ dust thet I could
spare, an’ its all she had to live' on. She’s bin
a good un to me, God bless her, an’ I’m sorry
I hevn’t lived so’s Ican' camp with her up that
(raising his tearful eyes toward heaven), and,
boys, won’t some 0" you write‘to her; Tom
Kirk, thar, knows whar she lives, an’ tell her
I got let out by an Injun, or pegged out nat’-
rally. For God’s sake don’t let her know I was
strangled. The news ’ud kill her. But then,
I’ll cheese this gab or ye’ll think I’m weaken-
in’, and the man don’t live as can ske'er Tiger
Jim. Elevate me, boys, jist.as quick as .ye
please. I’m ready when ye are.” During this
recital Jim’s eyes were filled with tears, and a
close observer would have detected “ silent
weeping” on all sides. The magic word “moth-
er” had awakened tender recollections in' the
breast of every one'of those hardy mountain-
eers. Men who could face death in {any shape
without a particle of feeling, did not try to
hide heir tears at the mention of that sacred
name, mother! How sweet itrsounded to their
cars! It carried them back to the happy days
in the dead past, when they were blessed with
the love of parents before the insatiable thirst
for gold had led them into these mountain
wilds. Not a word was spoken for a few sec.
onds, and then old Job drew his horny hand
across his watery eyes,.and said in a husky
velce : .
“ Tigé, ye wudn’t break an oath, w’ud ye ?”
“No, Job Dawson, 'not for friend or 'foe.
There ain’t a boy in the bills as can say thet
Jim ever went back on even his given word.
I’m a rough un, and do some mitey mean
things, but when I say athing you can gamble
emery dollar you’ve got upon it bein’ straight.”
. “ Wall, Tige, we had intended to swing ye,
an’ ye deserve swingin’, but I can’t git rid 0’
that ‘ mothcr’ chinhin ye gave us. I ’spect the
old lady set her heart on seein’ ye agin, an’ is
wearin’ her old eyes out lookin’ fer yer. I’ve
got an old mother myself, an’ though I hevn’t
sot eyes on' her since ’49, her picte'r’s right
hyar in my heart, an’ it'sa pleadin’ for yer old
woman, Tige. It'Is ruff, Tige,ruff, an'—let me
see-yes, darned cf I don’t do it. Jack, cut
them or strings so’s he can git his hands loose.
—Thar, thet's it. Now, Tige, hold up yer
right bald, an, of ye ever swore strong, do it
now. Do ye swar by the great God an’ yer
blessed old mother,that if this court discharges
ye, ye’ll lite rite out for the States an’ go hum
to the old lady, an’ love her an’ comfort her
as long as she stays out of heaven 1’ Do you
swar to this, Tl e, before almighty God and
this court ? “ I 0, Job, an’ thar’s my fist on it
533,32?” 1 swar it, an’ I’ll pull stakes rite
“ Then ye’re released on them terms, an’ the.
bons’ll help ye git yer tra s down to the sta-
tion; but mind, I 'tell yin-Iii , ef ye’re ever

CIRCULAR No. 2. .
A number of samples of fertilizers in com-
mon use in this region, have been selected
and brought to the station for a’ysis, by
Messrs. P. M. Augar and M. W. 'Terrill in
behalf of the Middlefield fsrmers’ club.
From them we give analysis of the follow-
ing, selecting those particular saniples, not
on account of anything unusual in their
composition, but because they will serve to
illustrate some principles of importance to
purchasers of fertilizers. Asthey are employ.
ed to illustrate and explain the uses of chem-
‘ical analysis, we do not here ‘give the names
of the manufacturers. Full details of these
and others,will be given in stated reports
hereafter. The numbers are those attached
to each specimen when received at the labor-
atory: In communications in regard to these
or succeeding analyses the article may be re-
ferred to by these numbers, simply.

MEANING or‘m ANALYSIS
The Water is that which dries out on heat--
ing. No. 16 hasl6.6 per cent. or 16; lbs. in
every 100 lbs. of the fertilizer. ‘ No. 19 has
only 4. percent. ' '

water is removed. They are the so called
“animal and oogetabk mum's,” and contain
the Nitrogen or these fertilizers.
. surname son), LIME, are.
If the ash which remains-after drying and
burning, be treated with strong acids, a
portion will dissolve. This will include the
Phosphoric Acid, the Sulphuric Acid, the,
Lime and sonic other materials as iron, alu-
mina, soda, silica, whose proportions are not
determined. The Sulphuric Acid and Lime
which, when combined, forni sulphate of
lime, or “plaster,” though valuable, ”are not
Sufilciently so to make them worthy of . spe-
cial account in analyses of high priced ma-
nures. The other materials have no agricul-
tural -value.
SAND.
The residue, which resists the action of
both fire and strong acids, consists of silica
and other mineral matters. These possess
no fertilizing value and are classified as Sand.
The important ingredients of the above
fertilizers (which contain no Potash) are
Phoeplwrh: Acids and Nitrogen. ‘
rsosrnome ACID, 501.17an AND ixsonusm.
The Phosphoric Acid which is so combined
with other substances as to be readily dissol-
ved in water is called Soluble Phosphoric
Acid. In this form it can be immediately
taken up by' the water of the soil, absorbed
by the roots of the plant, and thus serve it
as food. Ordinfl'y Phosphate of Lime
(“bone-phosphate”) is insoluble in water.
In order to be available as food to the plant
it must be changed to a soluble form. This
alteration goes on slowly in the soil. The
same is quickly effected in the manufacture
of Super-phosphates, by treating the “bone
phosphate with Sulphuric or other acid, In
this process mdre or less of the “Insoluble
Phosphoric acid of the “bone-phosphate"
becomes the Soluble Phosphoric acid of the
Super-phosphate. The terms “Reverted” or
“Reduced" are applied to Phosphoric acid
existing in a state of fine division and rank-
ing in solubility between the Soluble and
Insoluble.
Sample No. 15, contains about 10 per cent:
of Soluble Phosphoric acid, while No. 14 has
only I; per cent. The latter, though claim-
edby its name “dissolved bone," to_ be a'
Super-phosphate is scarcely snpenphosphate
at all.
xrraoons, AMMONIA. _
In our ordinary fertilizers, except Sulphate
'of ammonia and nitrate cf Soda, much of all
of the}nit;rogen exists in unavailable forms.
By more or less rapid processes of decay in
the soil, these are changed to other com
pounds of which ammonia is one, and which
the plant canreadily use as food, 14 parts
by weight of nitrogen are contained in and
reckoned as' “equivalent to” 17 parts by
weight-of ammonia.
VALUABLE isonsnisxrs or COMMERCIAL ren-
rmzsns. -
' The. ingredients of plant food most gener-
ally lacking in’ordinary soils are Nitrogen,
Phosphor-immune Potash. Th chief use
of commercial manures is to s y these
ingredients, and upon the amounts of these
three substances, contained in them, their
commercial valuation is, by"just and univer-
sal nsuage, based.
The amounts of theee ingredients in the
above fertilizers will appear very clearly 'if
we state,. instead of the percentage, the
number of pounds in the ton. No. 2 for ex-
ample with 9.94_per cent. of soluble phospho-
ric acid would furnish (9.94x20) 199‘ lbs. to
the'ton, and so on, as below.

The icult-ural value of a fertiliser,—
the gain which Will result from its use in a
given case,--is subject to'sucli varying con.
ditions of .soil, climate and crop, as to pre-
elude thepbssibility of exact estimate. The
Commercial value being dependent upon, its
composition and the state of the market,
admits of more nearly correct calculation.
‘ It is customary to make '
ESTIMATES or run comm-molar. VALUES
by attributing to each of the important in-
gredientsacertain value per pound. This
Prof. Johnson, chemist of the 'State Board
of Agriculture, in his last . report, assumes
.for Phosphoric Acid, soluble, 15 cts ;, rever-
ted, 10 cts ; and insoluble 6 cts. per 1b, and
for Nitrogen in bone (not finely pulverized.)
20 cents and in ammoniated super-phos.
phates and guano in which it is, generally,
more available 45 cts. per lb. At these rates
the 115 lbs. of soluble phosphoric acid in No.
16 would be worth (15 ctsx115) $17.25, and
so on. . The table below gives the values as

This, however is not always“ just or satis-
factory method of estimating the .value' of
fertilizers. For instance the nitrogen of
“ammoniated” super-phosphates is derived
in 'fferent materials. . In some, as dried
blo , it is readilyfand in others, as leather
scraps it is very slogvly available to crops.’
So the Insoluble Phosphoric Acid of steamed
and very finCy pulverized bones is worth
more than in coarse, raw, bone or mineral
phosphates. ‘ '
' For comparing these fertilizers,one with the
other, such a method as the, following is more
satisfactory. 1, '

The answer to this question is simple.
lst. Let them buy only those fertilizers
whose chemical composition is 'distinctly
'stated and guaranteed by'the seller.
2d. Of these, let them ,. select the ones
which furnish the fertilizing ingredients their
land and crops need, in ugliest form and at
the lowest pl'ice per pound. .
If they are not certain that the. articles they
purchase are equal to the guarantee, let them
send carefully and fairly chosen samples to
the station for analysis. .
In brief, let buyers and sellers know what
is the composition of their fertilizers and
give preference to those in which, not the
whole bagful or ton, but the valuable materi-
als contained therein, are the cheapest. In
this way, poor and fradulent articles will be
driven from the market, honest dealers will
be encouraged to sell and progressive farmers
to use good articles, and tens of thousands
of dollars will be-saved every year to them
and to the state. By this means and this
mea alone, can the much needed regulation
of t trade in commercial fertilizers be
brought about.
A considerable number of the leading manu-
facturers, importers and sellers of fertilizers, .
not only in Connecticut but elsewhere, whose
wares are sold in this state, have signified
their readiness to “place their wares under
the supervision of the station” and sell by
guarantee in accordance with the plan' above
described. Indeed the substantial dealers
seem quite as ready as the farmers to thus
unite with the Experiment Station in an
earnest effort to establish an efficient Fertili-
zer Control System in this state.
A large number of fertilizers have already
been analyzed at the station and more are b .
ing received continually. Results of this
work will soon be juiblished for use in the
spring trade. ' .-
.Analyses for the public use are made gra-
tuitously. For those in the interest of private
individuals a moderate fee is charged. Cir-
culars giving full information cOncerning this
matter can be had on application at the
station. Communications on this or 'other
subjects are gladly received and answered I.
fully as the time and ability of the worker
at the station will permit. -

A WELL-D1129“ Bums.—_—In her but let-
ter from'Pai-is, Lucy .Hooper. describes the
marvelous trousseau ' of the Princes Marie
Alexandria, of Saxe-Weiinar, niece to the
king‘of Holland, who is shortly to be mar-I
ried to the prince of Reuss. ' surely her la-
dyship.will have something of a wardrobe
when she gets it all home. She has eighty
dresses and twenty-five bonnets, and provi-
dence only knows how many gloves, fans,
cloaks, shawls and other trifles of that nature.
She has twelve dozen each of all the smaller
articles of lingerie and six dozen of the larger
pieces, all of the finest cambric,only varying
in the styles of their pulls and tucks, their
laces or embroidery. These undergarments
alone cost $12,000. The wedding .dress is
in white satin. The front of the skirt is
covered with three wide flounces of magnifi-
cent point aguille, the second richest of mod-
ern laces. 'An immense court train, fully
three yards long, is attached to the waist-
band of the skirt. It is bordered all round
with three rows of lace separated by a nar-
row quilling of satin“ There are also dres.
ses trimmed with antique laces which have
descended to the bride from some of her
royal ancestors, curious cobweb-like fabrics,
but lacking the dainty beauty of artistic de-
sign which marks the laces of, the present
day. The costliest and most superb article
in the trousseau is a tunic or overskirt of the
royal point d’Alencon, of incomparable fine-
noes and beauty of design. This splendid
and regal fabric had employed ten workmen
for eight years, and cost $10,000. ‘ The pat.
tern was dahlias, forget-me-nots and ferns,
grouped with marvelous grace, and encir-
cled by a dainty tracery of branching tendrills
delicate as frost-work upon the window pane.
The bride’s traveling dress was of stamped
black velvet, trimmed with bands of Russian
sable, and surmounted by a black velvet to-
que, also trimmed with fur and with a single
bird with dove-colored and golden plumage.
The cost of the whole trosseau is said to have
amounted to $100,000.

.‘I‘HE JAPANESE A13 -WORK AT PHILADELPHIA.
The most curious part of the day’s work
was driving a number of piles. each six feet
long and ten inches in diameter, upon which
is to rest, like a corn-crib, arectangular struc-
ture, eighty-four by forty-four. feet, and in
anese houses that children see in their prim-
ers. The way in which the J aps managed the
pile driving brought many a burst of laugh-
.ble tripod, about twenty feet high, with fixed
pulleys under the apex, from which was
sl'ended by a grass rope a cylindrical iron
Six Japs on each side. of the. machine s‘eize

plumbI-bobbing,is,concluded, whereupon the
hammer moves up and ,down very rapidly,
driving the, pile an inch into ,,the earth at
every descent, until it is time for the fore-
'manto don, little more plumb-bobbing. One
pile struck a rock, and while everybody was
wondering how things were to be managed,
one of. the; gang , ran off and brought back
something that had teeth like a saw, but
which was shaped Ilike a butcher’s cleaver,

The Japs draw their planes towards them,

drawn and wound up, dispensing with’ the
tedious process of chalking. The holes for
the piles were marked'out in this odd way ;
two posts, one at each end of the foundation,
were connected at the top with a tightly
drawn cord; from end. to end of this the
mandarin foreman—v walked with his rule,
measuring offspaces, which he marked by
tying bits of strings in bow‘knots to the main
cord and then standing off through .his deli—
cate operation of plumb-bobbing, which be
repeated every timeithat his men runoved
the tripod to drive a new pile. Their adze

its handle, which is shaped as- Hogarth’s line

.weather. The wielder of this tool stands
over the timber and hacks away, driving the
steel far underneath his foot at every blow.
Whenthe. ropes of the pile-drivers were too
long the foreman fastened blocks of wood in
slip knots to shorten them, but one of these
slipped and dropped onI_tIlie head of a young
Jap causing him to let go the rope, fall back-'

he sat down to rest himself and laugh.

- How Banks are Robbed.
Bank robbing has been developed into a
science with well-defined principles and meth-
ods, and, as in the most difficult, if not the
most dangerous, kind of borrowing and never
repaying, it has fallen; into the exclusive
charge of the sharpest malefactors. > The op-
eration of “cracking” a bank is usually lon
and tedious, requiring much patience,tactan
time, with infinite hazard, as the task must be
done by a compay,so that the~cbances of de-
tection are thereb greatly multiplied. But the
rewards are as 1y large, such as ordinary
thieves may see in their dreams, .but never re-
alize. When$1,000,0000aube “lifted” from
a single bank, as at Northamptonrecently,men
will not be wanting to takct e most desperate
chances. The success which bank robberies
have met for some time,seems to have greatly
encouraged them; and more numerous at—
tempts to pilfer these receptacles of the peo-
ple’s money will undoub'edl be made. This
fact makes a knowledge of t is robbers’ meth-
ods all the more desirable. .
A reporter of the Utica Herold, who inter-
viewed a leading member of the fraternity just
condemned to 15 years’ imprisonment for
pursuing his vacation, gives his account how a
“ campai ” against a bank is usualiy con-
ducted. he information he furnishes ma be
of no little help to bank ofiicials and ot ers
responsible for. the safety of large amounts of
money and valuable securities. After a
“ craksmsn” has selected .his “ victim," . he
looks aboutyfor help. He proceeds with the
utmost caution, ascertaining whether the de-
sired person will, undertake 9. ”ob” before
designating the one in' view, This accomplice
engaged, each- nominates a third. If either
mentions anobjection against one so named,lie
is dropped and one chosen agreeable to both.
the same way until the gang is made up. The
_ condemned burglar thus describes the details
of the reliminary operations against a bank,
which eserve the conSIderation of every per-
son in any way connected with such establish-
meats: .
Sometimes it takes weeks and months to lay out
the work, and not nnf‘reqnently the jig is up just as
we are ready. by the remova of the money. but
that is not always had, as the knowledge of the
works once gained, is always valuable for another
time. After a man knows the bank vaults, wm-
dows and doors perfectlyrhe gets in with watch-
men. "clerks, p’orters. or cas ler. the one most
ovallable.~ Tb is done in different wavs. Old
talk with a man that does not look totally ba , and
sometimes they make easy work for us. If ouepl‘
the clerks sleeps in the bank. we get in with him
at the billiard rooms, saloons or restaurants,_treht
him well, drink and smoke with him. tell him all
our business‘ talk wine. women, cards or religion,
whatever wl _
long to make him turn himself inside out and tell
all about'v‘vho carries the key of the vault and safe,
where he lines andhow he sleeps. the number in
his family. and other things of that character that
we must know. Wine, whiskey and cigars go a
great wa s with bank clerks Sometimes the
carry all t e keys and show them readily, in whic
case it is easy to see them. get impressions in wax,
or to " lift” them when they are needed. The
scout studies the movements of the police, night
watchman. doze, etc. He learns the roads. turn-
pikes, railroad time cards. and everything that
can be learned, and then the job is ready.
This revelation proves 'what most people
have probably suspected: that few ban rob-
beries were ever perpetrated in which some
bank official or employee did not guiltily or
innocently act as an assistant of the gang. In
incautious moments men will somehow give
vent to a secret by signs which a shrewdbye
can interpret. It is too often' the case that
bank watchers,as well as others, are employed
more on the score of economy than any fit-
ness for the place. A keen burglarfinds ittle
difficulty in fishing, the desired information
out of careless ere ulous noodles, such as too
often pretend to do duty about banks and
similar institutions. ' _
The gang F0 to their work, not together,
but separate y and by different routes. Re-
.volvcrs and bludgeons are carried chiefly for
the purpose of intimidation, and are not to
be used imless absolutely necessary for self-
defense'. Chloroform is used to quiet dogs,
watchmen, cashiers and clerks. .. Quite often
women are in the party. Their part of the
work is to charm persons likely to stand in
the way of the burglars, and keep them out
of reach until the, robbery has been effected.
Such is an outline of a .“ campaign,” and the
wonder is that so many banks escape capture
now that the noble science of bank robbery
has reached such perfection—Troy Times.

Far from my empty arnis;

When thou dost rise,
Sad soul, to meet the day,
And putting far away
All bitter thoughts and feelings of the night,
With firm, calm courage struggle'for the-right,
Then know how tendeijy
His eyes are watching thee,— '
The Lord’s dear eyes.
When thou dost stand
From other souls apart,
With not One human heart
Willing to share with thee a weary load ;
Turning to help some ether on the road,—

' SPRING FLOWERS.
O dainty baby foresters, ‘-

And peep into the brooks,
To me you are the'warders
Of the realm of Long Ago,

By mossy rocks and nodding ferns
You lift your timid eyes,
And by the wounded maple trees
In smiling groups arise.
No more the shrieking winter winds.
Affright the naked woods,
But all the scented aisles are gay
With Flora’s dappled hoods.
Though» years haye sped since first for me
You made the-meadows bright,
And many a sunset-tinted dream
Has filled into night.
Still do I hall with boyish love
The violet’s sweet perfume-—
Still joy to see the crocus burst
Like Lazarus from the tomb.
I thrill to see the buds again
Upon the apple tree, .
Where every branch is eloquent
Of glories yet to be;
Where soon the winged Argonauls,
From lands beyond the main,
Will sing their merry love-songs
And build their homes again.
I trace the tints of deathless Hope,
Sweet flowers, in all your beauty;
You come as meek interpreters
Of man’s exalted duty.
You whisper of a dawning heaven
Beneath us as above,
When earth shall melt with poetry
And man be full of love.

I saw the long llne of the vacant shore,
The sea-weed and the shells upon the sand,
And the brown rocks left bare on every
hand, .
As if the ebbing tide would flow no more.
Then heard I more distinctly than before.
The ocean breathe and its great breast ex-
98nd.
And hurrying came on the defenceless loud
The insurgent waters with tumultuous roar.
All thought and feeling and desire, I add,
Love, laughing, and the exulting joy of song
Have ebbed from me forever 3 I Suddenly
o’er me ,
They swept again from their deep ocean bed;
And in a tumult of delight, and strong
As youth. and beautiful as youth, upbore
me.

To droop and die,
In rustled murmurs, breathe one soft unend-

Sad threnody,
Till hunch and bongh, whereon no vestige
lingers
Of summer bloom.
Trace out upon the sky, with withered fingers.
Their wintry doom :
So, one by one, these earthly hopes we cher-

More dearly prized.
Pei-chance, than Heaven itself—fall of! and
perish ‘ I
Unrealized,
And leave us, with life’s winter o’er in steel-

And skies o’cast,
With bared and outstretched arms for
appealing '
To Heaven at last.
