ZACHARIAH.
a mcoaraxiox roa tbs 1 'heathkk miKKB."
From the Chariot tetvilie Chronicle.
Which is why I remaik
And 1 say what I mean
That for ways that are dark
And tricks that are keen,
Old Zachary, he is pecallar,
Which the same it is plain to be
"Old Zach," ls his nsme.
And I shall eot deny
That Inatead ef the tame
Old Nick might Imply
Hit Inalincts malicious the better ;
Wkich the devil is seen in bis eye.
Twss November the eighth.
And the votes had been caet:
Sam Tildeo and me
Theaght we had 'era at Inst;
Yet Zach played a trick on Samuel
Aad me in a way not aarpasaed.
Which we bad a small game.
And Old Zaeb toek a hand.
It was Euchre the same
. He did well understand
So ka smiled aa be eat at the table
And winked at the canvassing ban J.
Time be swore a great oatk
That the thing couldn't be.
And ha ck-ached his fiats bol.
And said: "Listen to me :
We are raiaed by fraudulent ballots
We must have a fair coasting, you tee.'
In the eceee that easued, (
They did all lake a hand i
The boxes were opened.
The ballots were scanned r
And doctored to salt the occasion.'
For which they did weU understand.

And If increase of ballots w re heeded.
Tliey smuuglvd tlieni in through the
cracks.
Thus the card were all slocked.
As the order Zach gave,
Aad my feelings were shocked
At the trick of the knave.
Which he plsyed with latent to deceive
And perhaps In tba end to enalave.
Bat the game that was plsyed,
It was fearral to see.
And the way they did cheat.
Ileal the "Heathen Chinee'';
Till at last they put down for R U ,
Which the ssme bad been dealt to S. T
Which Is hew they did win
And the President choose ;
Heads" Ruthy shall wln-
'Talla" Sammy shall lose :
Which the same tbey are free to maintain
With the troops they are ready to ase.
Which is why I remark
And I say what I mean
Tba) for ways that ara dark
And fur tricks mist unclean.
Old Zach and his "paraV are peculiar.
Which the tame It Is plain to be seen.
DEAD LEAVES.
The Food and Raiment Nature rtrea tba
Carth.
Dead leaves should not be allowed ta
go to waste and be blown by the wind
lar away freiu the places where thev ara
required to afford a mulch and manure
to the roots of fruit trees, vines, sfirubs
and flowers. They cantata the ingre
dient necessary for promoting the
growth af ulaats, which have been ex
tracted from the soil and brought into a
tuitable condition to be absorbed by the
sponge-like mouths or tibrous rood.
All tba dead leaves that lail frem the
fiuit trees, vioea. canes, etc., ebauld be
collected and applied at much to the
roots or the piauts from which the
fell, and kept lu piucv by Druab, or m
covering of coinpoat heavy enough to
keep them down. Dead leaves are
useful far covering strawberry beds,
rhubarb aloolt, and the roots of peren
a la I flowers. They lorm valuable ma
torial for hot beds when nixed with
alternate layers af stable manure, as
they absorb and moderate the clrong
heat arising from the latter, and give
out a mild heat for a considerable length
of time. Dead leaves may be used with
good effect fur covering pita of celery
cabbage, carrots aud other vegetables
repairing protection from treat
'. a
LOOSE REIN.
A Tight Ram the Mistake of Driven.
Wliv Is It that so many of oar far
mer, and nearly all of oar city carters
Insist on uaing a light rein ou working
horses f When a harse left to hit
natural inclination has a heavy load to
npU, he can best exert his baek-bono
into eoe eeotinuou line, and this he
will invariably d if not prevented by a
tight check rein. Some claim that It
prevents a herae from falling down, and
when a man can raise mnwau over a
fence by a lift of hia suspenders, we will
believe it. W hen a horse falls, a tight
rein will most eflectually prevent bias
from getting en bis feet agaiu.
MARRIED LQTl.
A Cheerful Hearth of More Worth than
Gold.
Da not run much frein home; one'a
own hearth is of more worth thaa gold.
Many a marriage begins like a reay
rooming, and then fella away like a
anew wreath. And why t Because the
married pair, neglect to be as well-
plraslmrto ekch other after marriage aa
before. Endeavor always to plaaaa one
another. Consider, ye daughtora, what
the word "wife" expeeeees. The tear
ried woman it the husband's domestic
faith. ' Hit honor and bit heme ara
under her keeping hit well-being in
bar band. Think of this! And yon
ye son be faithful buebande, and good
fathirt of familiea.
An emiueut judge used to any that in
hia opinion, the very beat thing am
aaid by witneaa, to a roaoaei wa tba
reply given to Miaaiug, the barrister, at

There are tome qoeetieot that never

them, propeuawtod to us, for the hun
