POETRY. TUB OLD FARM fIOUSE. ffhe easy chair, all patched with care, Is placed' by the old hearthstone ; With witching grace, in the old dreplac®, The evergreens are strewn, And pictures hang on the whitened wall. And the old clock ticjt in the cottage hall. More lovely still, op tfie window sill, The dew-eyed flowers rest, While 'm.d the leaves on the tnopsrgrown eaves The nifrtin builds her ties'. And all day long the Summer breeze Js whisperin » love to the bending trees. pver the door, all covered s'qr, With a sack of dark green bailie, Lays a musket old, wiio.-e w ttli is told In the events of other day*, And the poWdet flask »|}d the hunter's horn Have hung beside it lor many a mora. |?or years liaye tltd with a noiseless tread, Like fairy dreams away, And in their flight, all shorn of his might, A father, old and tray, As the sott wind plays with his snow-white hair And the old man sleeps in his easy chair. Inside the dpor, on the sanded lloor, Light, airy footsteps glide, And a maiden fair, with flaxen hair, ' Kneels by the old man's side— An old oak wrecked by the angry storm, While the iyy clings |o its trembling !onii. A Man of Mighty Enterprises. He hadn't any baggage, and after one look at hiui the brush boy walked away and sat dowu. The average brush boy of the average hotel knows when he cau brush it quartor out of a guest just as fvell as if were a law yer. The stranger wrote his name on the register with great deliberation. It was a long name It read ; "Her bert Henry Washington, Chicago, Il linois." The clerk regarded him for a moment with a keen glance, and then asked .* "How long will you remain here ?" "About a week," was the reply. "Shall I credit you with ten dollars paid in advance?" "Who are you talking to?" de manded the stranger, as he stepped back a little. "Strangers generally pay in ad vance," replied the clerk. "Well, sir, I'll be hanged, sir, if I was ever insulted before ! Ask me for money in advance ! Why, sir, do you know that I could buy this hotel, and still have millions leftl" "I have my oriers." "Am Ito be treated like a dead beat ?" continued the stranger. "When a mas comes to Detroit to lend two hundred thousand dollars on a mort gage do your people look upon him as $ skulk pr a thief ?" "My orders are positive," quietly Replied the clerk. "I want to see the owner of thii hotel, and I want to take him to the Board of Trade, the Mayor's office, and the water works, and I want him to find out what kind of a man I am." "The proprietor isn't in." "You don't know me—you don't tealiza who I am!" exclaimed the ' t% stranger, tapping the office counter at every pause. "I didn't care to be known, but since you have insulted tne, I want to inform you I am the Bothschild of the West!" The elerk started, oif with a latter to his girl, but had only got as far as VBeloved Sarah," when the stranger yelled ot^: "Who advanced money to Chicago to complete her water works ? Who Owns twenty-eight steamboats and six tugs ? Who owns six elevatora and pne hundred miles of railroad?" don't knpw," was the reply, "And yet when I come into this !" continued the stranger. "Sir, pome tp the bank with me, sir, and see if my check fpr $50,000 will be dis honored!" ' "I'll go 1" said thp clprk, putting on Via hftt. "You will, eh!" "YDS, sir!" needn't go. I wouldn't stop if you'd give mp a thousand dol- a day. I'll go to. some . other %nd when spring ppen; I'll buy f site next to, you and, build a hotel of own apd *un yoni; house out of •J»ll an officii" said, the clerk to QUf of the boys. "Tfc%t's the crowning iftsVLltj!" ex claimed the man. "But I'll bide my VU 5.9 orer to other tavern and send ovejf a $50,000 check for you |p Ippk; at, no master how eowy you feel, sir, I'll not accept an apolo gy, sir—blaßtuie if I do!" He went out, and at noon he was seen eating .crackers and cheofie in the I poet-office.—[Detroit Free Press. i Lessen * he Coat of Product ion. A subject for the constant study of the favnier is how tc lessen the coat or production of his crops so as to make thoni more profitable. Onp of the ! ways to lessen the cost of production id to increase the yield per aero. If j only thirty bushels of corn are pru ilucoil per acre, at a cost we will say ;of twenty dollars, it can readily bo i aeon that such farming don't pay. Uut if, by plowing deeper and prepar i iug the ground better, and planting more carefully and cultivating more thoroughly, one hundred bushels can be produced to the acre, the extra pare given bears but a slight pioportiou of expeuse to the very largely increased yield ; and while the latter system is made very profitable the farmer does, expanses in the former cast** So, to make farming profitable, it must be -vVell done—the largest yield must be obtained that the land will produce J to lessen the cost of production. i MOORE'S First Class Furniture House!
