The Home.
H. W. LONGFELLOW.
Stay, stay at home my heart and rest;
Home keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander—they know not where
Arc full of trouble and full of care:
- To Stay at home is best.
Weary and homesick and distressed
They wander East, they wander West,
And are bafiled and beaten and blown about
By the winds of the wilderness of doubt;
To stay at home is best.
Then stay at home, my heart, and rest ;
The bird is safest in its nest; “
O’cr all that flutter their wings and fly
A hawk is hovering in the sky.
To stay at home is best.
To Young Men.

Oh, yes, I understand all that my son. I
have heard much of that before. You mourn
and grieve over the lack of true womanhood
among the girls of your acquaintance. Mere
butterflies of fashion, you say, who can rattle
the keys of a grand piano, dance like fairies,
chatter:nonsensc and society nothings by the
hour, but for their lives cannot make a loaf of
bread, roast a turkey, do a day’s washing or
make a shirt. You say you demand the
noblest type of useful womanhood in your
wife, and you want to know where you can
find the wife you want? Well, I will tell
you, my dear boy. If that is the sort of a
woman you want, marry Nora Mulligan,
your laundress‘s daughter. She wears cow-
hide shoes, is guiltless of corsets, never had a
sick day in her life, takes in washing, goes
out house-cleaning and cooks for a family of
seven children, her mother and three section
men, who board 'with her. I don’t think she
would marry you, because Con Reagan, the
track walker, is her style of a man. She is
the useful sort of a woman you appear to
want; but I don’t think she’ll look at you
twice. Let usjust examine into your quali-
fications as a model husband after your own"
matrimonial ideas, my boy. Can you shoulder
a barrel of flour and carry it down the cellar ?
My dear boy, a quarter of a sack of meal
would get away with those chalky fingers
and slender arms of yours. Can yoursaw and
split ten cords of hickory wood in the fall,
so as to have ‘ready fuel all winter 3’ Tele-
machus, those twenty-three inches of coat
padded out over sixteen inches of shoulders
won’t help you a cent’s. worth. Do you
know, my son—look me in the eye—do you
know how to measure ten cords of wood
after the man has pilcd it in fiveirregular
heaps and tells you it is all there? Do you
know how to buy potatoes, and how to put
them away forwinter? Do you know how
to pick over the apples after Christmas?
Do you know how to watch the shoeing of
your ownihors'e—if you drive one—and can
you tell timothy from prairie hay when you
are buying it? Can you spade up half an
acre of ground for a kitchenugarden? Do
you know what will take the limy taste out
of the new cistern, and can you :patch the
little leak in the kitchen roof?
What would you do if a hoop fell§ofithe
fiour barrel? Suppose the chimney gets
choked up? What if a mortise lock gets
out of order ? If an extra shelf is wanted'in
the pantry? Or two or three little houses
'for the hens with broods of chicks? Can
you bring home a pane of glass and a wad of
putty and repair damages in the sitting room
window ? Can you hang some cheap paper
on the kitchen? Can you fix the front gate
so that it will not sag? Can you help the
man carry the big kitchen stove out to the
Summer kitchen ? Do you know how’to fix
‘a pump when it chokes? Can you make
two or three tree boxes for the shade trees
you planted on the sidewalk, if you knew
how to plant them P Can you do anything
about the house that Con Regan can? My
dear boy, you see why Nora Mulligan will
have none of you; she wants a higher type
of true manhood. You expect to hire men
to do all the man’s work about the house,
but you want your wife to do everything
that any woman can do. Believe me, my
dear son, nine-tenths of the girls who play the
piano and sing so 0 armingly, who you in
your limited knowleée set down as “mere
butterflies of fashion,” are better fitted for
wives than you are for a husband. The girls
know more about these things than you do.
If you want to marry a first-class cook and
experienced housekeeper, do your courting
in the intelligence office. But if you Want a
wife, marr; the girl you love, with dimpled
hands and a face like the sunlight, and her
love will teach.her all these things, my, boy,
long before you have learned one-half of
your own lesson.

Q
Compacting the Soil.
“How is it," once asked a young friend of
IS, “that every cutting you touch will grow,
while only a ' small part of mine succeed ?”
—-Wc were both amateur gardeners and as
neighbors indulged in_a friendly rivalry.
We gave him the secret of our “touch,”
which was, to always press the soil firmly
around the cuttings; after this he, had no
cause to complain of failure: . The matter of
bringing the soil in close-"contact not only
with cuttings, but with rooted plants and
seeds, is of the greatest importance. and its
neglect is a frequent source of failure. If
the ‘ soil is left loosely around a cut-
ting or around a seed, the minute root in
either case, as it pushes, may fail 'to come in
contact with the needed moist soil and perish
for the want of it, When ripe wood cuttings,
such as those of the current are set out in the
open ground, and one lot have them“!!!
thoroughly pressed inguinal}. theirploweilj
portion, even pounded down to makesure,
every one will grow. If this is neglected
more or less will 'fail. So insetting out
plants, such as those of cabbage, cclpry, etc.
The market gardeners make sure that the soil
shall be brought close to the roots, by going
along the row and pressing it firmly to the
plant with the feet. __ In an article we printed
a few years ago, Mr. Peter: Henderson
showed that success with raising his crop of
celery plants was due to the fact that, after
sowing the seed he had the whole surface of
the soil of the bed well patted down with
the back of the spade. The {end is accom-
plished on a large scale by the use of a roller
but in small bedsfithe spade is an excellent
substitute. In setting out trees or shrubs,
the more carefully the soil is filled in and
worked in among the roots, and firmly
pressed—not stamped down, with the foot,
the greater the chances of success. Even in
laying turf or sods, the roots of the grass
should be brought in close contact with the.
soil by the use of a “beater,”,a piece of heavy
plank witha handle, or by beating down
with the spade back.——Amerz'oan Agricultur;

similar, though. more specifically set forth.
and fortified by, experiment, has been ada

seen by the following extract from a New
York per. .~
l‘h rriblc mill explosions in different
parts of the world, particularly in Minneapo-
lis, have appeared mysterious. in their ori-
gin. Perhaps the theory of Prof. T. W.
Tobin, advanced at the reception of the
Millers' Association by the Polytechnic
Society of Louisville, on, Thursday. last,
maybe sufiiclent to explain the cause of
some of these explosions. Certainly nothing
.so plausiblehas been advanced to- account
for the sudden destruction of the mills in
Glasgow Scotland, and in Minneapolis, and
mlllers may well heed 'the warning thatther‘el
is a giant force locked up in the familiar
wheat berry, which'hcn theright time Ir-

one of desolation. There are. certain condi-

The Buckingham! scathc.
The New ork Herald prints the follow-'
ing: The s etch model on which Olin L.
Warnerwas lately awarded the contract to
execute the statue of Governor Buckingham
for the capitol at Hartford, Conn, represents
the subject seated in an arm-chair. The altim
music one of strength in repose. The war
governor lies back in the chair, on when
arms his rest. Iii-Jolt foot is- advanced and
his right drawn in. The left hand is bent
and rests easily on ‘thc thigh, and the right
one holds a mumflpt roll. The hOIdJI
turned-slightly to thclcft, and the expression
is one of etcrminstipn. The double breast-
ed frock coat is buttoned. Books will be
arranged under thc’chair, which the commit-
tee desire to represent that used by the
governor. The statue will be of light bronze
and .of heroic size, and will rest on a pedestal,
of dark colored granite or marble some three
feet in height. om: race of the latter will
appear in bronze ti coat alarms of the state
treated in a classic manner, and the inscrip-
tionl‘on the sides will be in severe Roman
lettering. The apartment in whichthe status
will be placed is a sort of memorial h'ajll.
Around it are arranged in cases the war flags
of the state, which or. displayed in-bc‘antifnl
was. The statue is" to be finished accord-
ing to contract in two years. Mr. Warner
expects, however, 'to complete it in a year
and a half. The Other sculptors invited to
submit models were J. Q: A. Ward and
Launt Thompson. =

How Miss Burr Hoardcd her Mil-
lions. '
Another heurin was had yesterday before
Surrogate Rollins n the contact over the will
of the late Sarah Burr, Who left about .3,-
000,000 to benevolent and religious societies.
James 'McCabe , testified that he lived with
Mrs. Burr a'g a servant for four years, and
was in her house at the time of .her death.
It was ,a part of his duty to wait on Miss
Burr and help her about the house. Miss
Burr dined in the- kitchen. There was no
fire in the parlor, in the winter and she sat in
the kitchen. The kitchen was poorly furn-
ished. The cooking and table utensils in the
house were of the meanest kind. The chair
which Miss erused was produced in coart.
It is a common wooden chair, with a can.
bottom originally; at present one leg is
broken and a hole in the bottom is protected
by an old cloth cushion. The witness Ilid
that Miss Burt’s personal habits were un-
cleanly to a revolting degree. She seemed
always to be hungry and within two hours
after dinner she would demand to have app.
per served. She did not remember the-meals
which she had. taken during the day. She
went to bed about 5 o’clock in the afternoon
and never allowed any light in the house.
She usually wore a calico dress, and the wit-
ness fioduced an old cotton gown which he
laid ins Burr had worn constantly for a
your before her death. - A lot of cheap ew-
lery was produced by the witness which _ iu
Burr had boughtof pedlers. Miss Burr re-
fused to allow some silveroplated ware which
she had to be cleaned, because the process of
cleaning would wear of! the plating. She
did not provide any shades for the windows,
and refused to allow some old red curtains
in the house to be put up. In the kitchen
where Miss Burr died there were ‘only
two tables, a wash tub and four chairs. She
took coffee in the morning; it was made in a
saucepan. The witness showed a small iron
saucepan, which had the appearance of many
years of use, a well-worn knife and fork, an
iron table-spoon, an old-looking plate, an old
china cup and saucer, and a somewhat
ancient milk-pitcher. All these things he
said, Miss Burr used daily.— . Y. Tribune,

“I have FOUND Du LONG AND Pam—ALI.
DEAD-MELVILLR."
No harbor of all harbors ’ncatb God’s sun '
Hath buoyed so much of all most priceless
freight '
As this, since firsts Spanish galleon
Turned South from San Francisco's golden
gate. "
But—how they cheered from wharf and yard
and deck! .
The costliest cargo that those roads hath
crost ,
Was when to face wantJamiue, fever,wreck,
To battle with the forces of the frost,
The craft, whose light name hence shall
holy be,
Steercd for the Northern death across
that windless sea.
0 lonely headlands of 'th’ Alaskan strait !
Ye watched that lonelier versed as she
passed; '
Saw ye his face grow gladly satiate
0f peril as he neared the ice-fields vast P
For not the salvo’s roar, the cheering town,
Nor Summer voyage o'enuoft Pacific's swell
Delight such souls—nay, Nature’s sternest
frown
Sign of her fierce mocds and implacable.
So where gray meeting seas the worlds divide
With moaning wastes of chill and bitter
foam, . '
'Methinks his step grew lighter as he eyed
The confines of his all too narrow home.
Northward—the night received them, and
the ice .,
Chill shining bergs and chiller shining stars
Mocked them to whom one world would not
suffice
With toils and dangers, pestilences, wars,
Northward—and East—the raving Arctic
wind
Stabbed at their hearts, pierced bone and
marrow through, . ,
And vaster streamed :the tracklcss tract be-
hind,
Nor nearer at their goal nor larger grew
And o’er their heads strange birds 'of
omen flew.
Then—stayed and stopped—the hungry ice
beneath
Gnawed ra'veningj at the vessel’s groaning
sides;
And shut were they in horror as a sheath,
’Twixt the thick darkness and the frozen
tides. '
And they became a memory to men
Whe said: “Lo! these, (00, meet the an-
cient fate!" '
Andweeks grew months and months grow
years—and then
Behold the dead raised from their lodging
strait!
Found! But how found ? One blinded, one
gone mad! '
And some are dead-the missing of the roll
Doth- their sepulture, awful, riteless, sad,
SWell the dread trophies of the Northern
pole P -
Answer from' out Siberis’s lifeless waste,
Answer from ’neath Siberia’s leaden skies,
Though none shall know the desperate ills
they faced, '
Till they at the crack of Doom die dead
arise;
Found—like a gunner lying by his gun—
They found the strong Republic’s strong-
est son: .
Ber eagle at his crest, her stars his
shoulders on.
O solemn service of that ancient faith ?
From proudest minister, darkest catacomb;
From where the Asian sunshafts scorch and
scathc
J adieu deserts—ritual of Rome,
All ages have thy prayers and preans heard.
But ne’er in all the measure of thy time,
More faithful ficck received ~thy weightfu
word ,
From lips of holler priest—or more sub-
lime— _ ‘ '
’ ° Than when beside the frost sealed Lena
he .
Read in unchanging voice thy changeless
liturgy.
O stormy splendor of the Saxon cheer,
What echoes hast thou waked of—Afric
night, _ ‘
When St. Arnaud the Legion—unto fear
Most Foreign—hurled into the flaming
fight; ‘
And those that 'roused on ’Alma’s blood-
soaked height
. At sunset of that red September day;
And those that taught the Rhine the Scottish
might ; -
And those that beat the walls of Monterey !
But the breath failing in the feeble about
That gave their envoys God-speed through
the snow, '
Despair showed vanquished, and the sinkin
doubt
Of famine born in slownnd sickening three;
Aye, showed each here, where were
heroes all '
Ready with Death to grip in certainty to
fall l ‘
Gaunt corpses in weird solitudes they lie,
But as th’ Aurora’s signet on their sky,
So on tablets of enduring fame,
Transcribed in fire the letters of each name
or those who on our streets but now we
saw, ' - c
Nor paled, oh, blindness, with pr'ésaging
awe. A. E. Warnocs.
