Though it may be unstable in its rearing, May totrer,fall.and crush thee m the end, Build thou to suit thy fancy ; still unfear ing Which way the work shall tend. In unsubstantial air Kear thou thy castle's lofty tower and dome, And lind in it a fair But failing home ; Kear the bright turrets as thy fany wul- eth, High up where gh-aais of quenchless splendor play , Scorn, if thou wilt, the emptiness winch filleth Its courts and portals gay. Since it is bright to thee. And plcasd.ii thee, what more shoulils t Uiou require:1 As yet tium shali not. mm Tiie light expire. .od knows that all the brightness of the gilding Will' soon be dimmed by sorrow's rain of tear-. And that shall live hope's fairy power of building But once inlill thy years. Some live who will condemn Thy youthful fancy for its wasteful move ; Vet life holds naught fur them So fair and good. Tune was, when hope held forth her pow er of pleasing To even such as those who count thee vain : Time is, when hope her airy labors ceas ing. Life is blank again. And fancv tells thee this While vet she builds her castles frail as vase Nothing of joy or bliss In hie. shall last. No single form in life for time is granted. Death ends the dull of pain, the m'rth ! Build as thou wilt, thy cast'e shall be planted As firm as aught on varfh. RiiHAmJ. Hemaiikgs. LOTTA'S BURGLAR. It was unprecedeiiti d at pisham for the students to break out so late iu the term. Stiil more unpreceden ted was it for a potent, grave and reverend senior to have any share in the mischief. Yet, only three nights before commencement, the students "made things howl," and Tom A11 struther was head and front of ine otfendinii.

One morning many 3'ears ago Mr. H-. who happened at the time to be ai'j's. ate ana collector of the Enawah disL ict, was out rid'xig, ac coaorn;ed oy a couple of sowers or mouoved o.derl'es. They were pass ' ig ove a por'ioa of the -oad that '.y i :i the vie nitv o"the river Jumna, wlieie twr halV. own wo'f cubs . ossd t-:e pth, and, "o1 lowing them more slowly', came a very re mt'.' Able looking ceature, which shambled aioag on ell "ours in an ext.ao.-d ac"'y n icouth "ashion. Tb;s tur.ieu out Lo be a wol '-child. Letting tin oihe- two go unmolested, t'ie ltiia raca pro(jeioed to hunt dow.i the human cu'i aid succeeded in 1 'iglng i.. 10 bay. As the3' wished '.o - ''ke t ie c -ria.e alive, and were al.oe :er now .'"og lo nurtit in any w-33 th?y foa -d .ie greatest diiHoulty in attempting to secu.e 1., "or it "ouLt, b t and cif wea with extreme fierceness and p?iinae".,v ; indeed, having d.iven it into a corner. Mr. II. and one of the sowers had to mount guard, while the other native proceeded to the nearest village and got a stout blanket for the purpose oJ'th owintr it over its head, and it t3 by this mean-! tnat the capture was at length fifecid. All the way horns the wol "child behaved like a m id rlung, sc .aami .g and howling, now pu?'mslv, now i i a pa'oxyisn o " iia lot it- c -9, It was, however keiio Mi.IL's imuse; but would n)t be com 'o. ted and for a Ion-; i.iaie refused ail kinds of raw meat. Tie c.ej.ai e was a 003' of about n'ne years of age, and it may here ne stvec4 that no female wolf-child has ever been heard of or seen. It is not t-asy to ass gn a siitn-vnt teason for the fact that females have never bee i so discovered, unless we suppose uhat. be.ig "ess vigorously const'tmoa they have been unable to witiistaid the terrib'e hardships of such an existence, and have very soon sickened and died. In ap pearance this boy was exceedingly repul.ive; his features were blunt and coarse, and their expression brutalized and insensible. As to his habits, they were exactly those ot a wild animal. Mr. H. caused m'.auce iaquHes to be made through out uhe nei'ihbori' vilifies as to wbeUie'thu inhab' ants had lost any children throuh their beirg carried offb' wolves, and, so, whether they could recognize the human waif that had been recovered by means of birth-marks, moles, or other indeli ble tokens. In the course of a few days the father a id mouher of the lad wered:scovered. They identified him by certain well-defbied marks about the b.east and shoulders, and s.,ated he had been ca.iied away when about two years of age. His parents however, .'ound lrm verr difticult to manajce. for he wos most f-ac ions a id troublesome, in fact, just a cagcu wild beast. Often during the night toe hours together, he wouh't aive vent to the most un earthlv. veils and moans, destroying the rest and irrlta.ing the tempeis o"h:s neighbors, a.i 1 ir 'i i".iily mak ing night hideous O I Oiio ojvasiOn his people chaiiivid h'm by the waist to a tree that stood n.jar the hut. which was situated on the outskirts of the village.

A German farm -r im-w 'oil th writer that every year .u. prepared . heap of manure whieh, when ap plied to his soil, ma le it pro luc marvelous yields. II- mole of pi paring it was as follow, to use bl own language: "I have but one horse, one cow and aboir two doz.r fowls. I save every partiel ' f thei droppings and plaoe tiiom in I t shed which has a cemented floor upon this I spread a layer of fores mold, and in order to preserve th ammonia in it, I cover the dung wit another layer of mold taken from tUa woo.i.4 close to mv house. I , . houses are cieanea out. jthe urine of the animals and that from my house, and pour it upon the heap ; sometimes I also add a small quantit3' of litter from the stable, and, when not too busy to collect them, a lot of leaves. By attending to the heap in person, and seeing that all the manure is rgidly saved, I find on hand by the early spring a large quant.ty of the richest fertili zer I ever used. During the few winter months it has thoroughly rot ted, and when needed to spread upon my garden it resembles a heap of ashes, so ccmpletely is it pulver ized. My garden consists of five aces of ground, which receives this val-iable manure. On a farm where twenty or t-i'.fcy Iiotsps, mules and catt'e are ke:t, and a flock of sheep and a "air number of fowls, besides their comblno '. drop .ings, if treated as a .ove. enough of this excellent fa.vdizer could be srved each year to ino oiimly manure fif.een or twenty acres 'f land, and no farmer should be at a I03S to have what manure he equ'res, fo.- this is the foundation of successful farming.

A citizen who yesterday received a telegram to meet a friend from the western part of the State at the de pot, was there on time, ana alter the greeting said to hiin : "Now we'll get on the car and go right up to the house." "But you are not 'keeping house ?" "No; I'm board'ng at the same old place." ""Then I can't go." "Can't ? What's the trouble ?" "No ; under the circumstances 1 should not like to eat dinner with you." "What circumstances ?" "Well, Trover's present wife used to be my wife. We didn't exactly agree, and she got a divorce a nd came down here and married him." 'Why. that's nothing. Such trifles as tnat wouldn't stop me." "Yes, I know ; but I'd rather not go. I've applied for a divorce from the wife I married after this one left me. and she's in town too. and if I should meet the pair up there I don't believe I could eat half a meal realty I couldn't !"

The murmuring zephyrs of a June morning were kissing with dew3' breath the rose bushes that were soon to burst forth in a wealth of hud and blossom; fie twi.ter of t he robin and the meadow lark roe cheerily upon the cool, fresh air that came f.om beyond the hdltops in the west, and aJiwa-t the eastern sky with faint bands of crioison light, 1 osy harbingers of the golden flood thai was to come made a vivid con trast to the feep blue of the zenith, wnde over all was spread the solemn hush that com?5 befo-e b-eakfast.
