be got it: On the afternoon of the
30th I came upon a crowd of men sur-
roundibg a big, blustering, loud-mouth
ed man at the. southern end of City
Hall square. He was descanting on
the Richmond Monument, and telling
what the Government ought to do to
suppress the "rebel demonstration.
From that he turned tj a tirade of
abuse of Southern men and women an
especially the women, whom he cbarg.

"Well, I can't help tba'," said th
big fellow. ,
"My mother and sisters are Southern
women," continued tbs young, man
without noticing the interruption and
in the same dangerously quiet way.
"Well," said tha blatherskite con
temptuously, "I don't know but what

He did not get any further. The lit

If you want your clover at its best
for hay, do not forget to cut it as soon
as any of the heads begin to turn
brown. .
Remember that early-cut hay may
not give you so much weight of mate
rial, but a larger proportion of It is
digestible. ,
Begin early in the season aad "make
bay while the sun shines." Thltis the
best general rule in hsy making that
can belaid down.
Use horse power whenever possible
ia handling bay. It costs less, It Is
quicker, and ths hay will usually be
better mads than by band.
II you want green, fragant, fine
flavored bay, cut while It is In this
condition as grass, and cure it without
mucb exposure to sun or rain.
If hay is stacked too green, so as to
be In danger of beating, a ventilator
through tbe middle of tbs stack will be
found useful in keeping It coel.
Msny meadows ars ruined by the
grass getting overripe and then being
cut close, leaving tbe exhausted roots
exposed to tbe burning rsys of the
run.
How Is that mowing machine ? Ars
the knives all right? Are tha bolts
wllb their nuts all In places? Have
you a good means of sharpening your
knives in tbs field ?
TWO SOLDIERS AT GETTYSSL!"Js
ISAAC F. EATOK.
The armies they had ceased to fight,
The night was still and dark,
And many thousands on the fields,
Were lying stiff and stark.
Tbe stretcher men bad come along
And gathered all tbey could ;
A hundred, surgeons worked that night
jseniua toe ciump or wood. . -
They flashed the lantern In my face,
' As they were hurrying by (
The sergeant looked, and said, ''he's
dead," ,
And I made no reply.
The bullet bad gone through my breast,
JNo wonder I was still )
I But once will I be nearer death.
Than when upon that hill. .. .
A gray clad picket came along . '
He came so near me that I tried -
To move and touch bis feet.
At once he bent and felt my breast
Wbers life still foueht at bay :
No one who loved me could have dona
More than this man in gray.
O'er me all chilled with blood and dew,
His blanket soft ha spread ;
A crimson sheaf of wheat he brought
- A pillow for my nead.
Then knelt beside me f.r'an hour
And barbed my lipsand brow t
But for ths man who was my foe
i d not do living now.
Then as ths coming dayligjht shone,
He bent his lips tossy ; - .
"God spare you, brother, though yott
- wear - - . .. -
The blue, and I ths grsy."
The sounds of war are silent now ;
- We call no man our roe, .
But soldier hearts cannot forget
The scenes ef long ago, '
Dear ars the ones who stood with Us.
To struggle or to die :
No one can oftener breathe their names
Or love,them more than L
But from my life I'd give a year
That gray clad man to see ;
To-clasp in love the foeman's band
Who saved my life to me.

' The BeaaJaa Fly.
The Hessian fly, so destructive to
wheat, Is becoming annually more
abundant In North Carolina, and unless
prompt and suitable preventive meas
ures are taksn this pest will effectually
absorb what little profits the wheat
grower now realizes. Although tha
Hessian Fly causes damages exceeding
many millions of dollars annually,
there is no pest mora effectually con
trolled by prompt and systematic mess
uresv :
At harvest the cutter bar of the reap N
er should be set a- high as possible, so
at to avoid carrying off in tha straw tie
dormant pupn (or Incased worm), bid
den in the sheaths of tbe lowermost
leaves, As soon as the grain Is re mov
ed, the stubble should be carefully and
thoroughly burned over, thus destroy
ing all the pupae bidden therein. The
field should then be sown In cow peas
to be turned under io tbe fall.
To make tbe stubble burniug remedy
entirely successful it must be practiced
by all the wheat growers of any neigh
borbood. A single neglected field will
breed flies enough to, stock a whole
county. For Individual srbwera tha

following precautions will be found
profitable I
About September 1, sow around tba
field lnteoded for winter wheat a nar
rowt strip of white wheat, such as .
Diehl. This will soon serve as a trap
to receive the eggs of the flies, and
when tbe flies bave ceased to work In
it plow tbe slip under as dseply a pos
sibls and then proceed to sow the main
crop. ' Where flies bave been very
abundant In tbe spring It will be best
to postpone sowing the main crop ua
til after the first sharp frost. Tbs Hes
sian fly Is very delicate and cannot en
dura cold. Another precaution la to
tow for tbe main crop only red or yel
low wheat. These are strong growers
and have very bard leavea and culms.
Tbey are, therefore, less liable to dam
