“* CURLING. There is a new publication from the Knees of Wm. Blackwood Co., Edin- nigh, which will attract the attention of curlers. It is a little poem about Scotia‘s sin game 0’ curling with illustrations. The poetry is from the pen of Walter Douglas- Ca'mpbell, and reads something like this:â€" BAILIE M’PHEE. As Bailie M’Phee was reposing Ae cauld frosty morn in his bed, A tap interrupted his dozmg. And a note on the coverlet laid. , LL- ---._A.-:... Mu. a nun: v... u... -- , - a. fees ! how he rummled the curtain As he louped frae the bed in his glee ; The loch will be bearing for certain, There’ll be curling the day for M’Phee. For he played sae cannily, Oh. sae canuily ! Cannily sooptt. and scroopit. and loupit ! The day by the Bailie M’Phee. The cup by the patron presentit, Is a gem o’ the jeweller’s airt, Wi’ many a. timer indentit, And emblems in every pairt. It wants but a name to complete it, Embossed wi’ a chaste filigree, And the folks, me to make ye conceitit, Spae it’s safe to be Bailie M’Phee. Persuaded, he shouthered his besom, His stanes were the guid Crawfordjohn; His mull was replenished wi’ sneeshin, Which he oped to each weel-played stone. And filling his flask to the tapple, He gied a sly glance wi' his ee, Saying. "Whiles tho’ I tak’ a wee drappie, At curling I’m on the Tee-tee.” N00 the Bailie is at? to the meetin’, And oh, when his figure was seen. See lood was the mirth o’ the greetin’, Ye’d hae thncht they were toastin’ the Queen. But the skip that stand up tn oppose him, As black as my bonnet looked he, W'fien, he ken: that the ballot had chose him To pl iy against Bailie M'Phee. Noo the shots that he laid were amazin.’ And soopit sae naething could die ; The ports that he drew wi’oot grazin, And struck sae that naething would lie. Till the opposite skip straight up loopin'. Cried “Tuts ! but I'm afl‘ to ma tea : I may Wear oot ma besom wi’ soopin’ Ere I gain but as head frae M'Phee. 0h, see how the creed gather near him, To watch and admire his play, The lassies conspire to cheer him, The hero and pet o’ the day, But the chief o’ the hale deputation, \‘Vas a. lass wi’ a glint in her ee, That expressed the maist deep admiration, She held for the Baiiie M’Phee. Her bonnet was sorel, trimmed w’ myrtle, And mony a ribbon was seen Flowm' donn fme th’ skirts 0’ her kirtle, \Vhic‘n W'tS tartan 0’ orange and green. And the hues o' the rainbow were blendit, So as any une plainly could see, That this gorgeous costume was intendit, To dazzle the een o’ M’Phee. Oh. see to the squeezin’ and croodin, He's playin’ the hindermost shot, She deems 3m to think she's intrudin’ As she presses ahead 0’ the lot. And jist “t5 he chippit the Winner, She gied a 1 ma screech in her glee, And I Vow but the lang-leggit limmer Played pump in the arms 0’ M’Phee. “ Oh," 8'! id she, in his airms being carried. “ Oh, th-ust me not rudely away, I’ve aye ind ‘\ wish to get married And may he I’ve succeeded to-day. I’ve siiler and gold that shall jingle, And a house in the Sneddons,” said she ; “ It's a shame and disgrace to see single A curler like Brilie M'Phee.” Sae sweet was the look that she gied him, Sae brlcht was the glint 0‘ her een, To reins-n the request that she made him, His hear; must 0’ adaumnt been. So he th :cht not a moment upon it, But poppit right doun on his knee, And pledged the red knob on hxs bonnet. That he’d make her his Mistress M’Phee. Now he 'nountit his auld-fashioned pony, And. oh, but ’it was wonderfu’ grand, To see hm each stranger and crony Reach’d f~:rth for a grip 0’ his hand. But she luuped up ahint on the saddle, Sae they cheered her wi’ thirty times three , “ He’. ‘ got but the cup and the medal, But ye LC captured the hale o the three.’ N00 the suupm is laid by the fire, And many :1 lad wi his lass The cups and the med: tIS admire, D1511121yed neuth a. cover 0’ glass. But the Bulie he pnints t0 the sofy, Whale his 11 1ft sits infusin’ the tea, And cries he, “ Yen’s the bonniest trophy That ever was won by M’Phee ” She mm 1 5-1 j'()(1d wife to the Bailie, And this is the tenson, bemuse, She te lCth the bmrns to read daily, And pr- ictice the curling, club laws. And they play tn the tee Wi'oot blunder, Braw curlers the hale 0’ the three ; And at Blythswood they say it's nae wonder, Since they’re skippit by Bailie M’Phee. And they play sae canuily, Oh, sae cannily, Cannily Snopit, and scroopit, and loupit, And skippit by Bailie M’Phee. The double file of insane unfortunates march-3d shiftingly up and down the court- yard pavement of the Philadelphia hospital recenLly in pursuit of the usual outdoor ex- ercise. Out oi the extreme roar of the col- umn smldenly'ste‘pped a gaunt, cadaver-ous reature, who bent as if adjusting a re- creant shoelace.- This, being a frequent oc- currence, attracted no attention from the attendants, nor did these vigilant officials notice the Straggle: tear open the lining of his long, torn overcoat and abstract 3. letter â€"whic‘n a condescending spectator near by had promised to deliverâ€"and clandestinel hand it to the spectator. The epistle di not reach its destination, but the act was so neat and the man so skillful in execution, and the attendants so completely unaware of the transaction, that the attempt, by virtue 0f :23 own merit. < (:53: "M!

This morning I will speak to you upon one aspect of a matter which may promote our common happiness and prosperityâ€"- that of making more and better food in the winter time. The task and occupation of the farmer is to devote his talent and strength to solve those problems that face him, in such a way as to bring back from nature, as much as possible of all kinds of food which contribute to the support of the race to which he belongs. Now, a man who follows dairy farming and provides food for the people during the summer months only, is like a man who own- ingabutton factory, shuts it up for the winter saying, “Closed because the weather is cold.” With all the plant idle, all the hands discharged, no income throughout the winter months, he could never compete with another button manufacturer up in Port Elgin who runs his factory all the year round. No more can a farmer in Waterloo, who does a profitable business for only half the year round compete with a farmer over in \Visconsm or in England, who keeps going all the year, and has an income in every month of it. Winter dairying has nothing in itself that is hos- tile to summer dairying any more than shirt-making in winter has in it anything that is hostile to shirt-making in summer. Perhaps you make a diiferent class of goods: that is all. At the same time, business should run the year round in both instancesâ€"From address by Prof. Robert- son. All reports of successful experience in farming are appreciated, for “what man has done man may do.” Look at the possi- bilities: 253 bu of shelled corn on an acre, although a. prize crop ; 1,500 bu of trans- planted onions per acre; the golden feet of grained sheep fertilizing a. Ill-acre orchard so that it yielded over $1000 worth of fruit annually for 7 years, the same fertilizer be- ing continued ; 3. Vermont pear orchard of 2; acres, given all the leached ashes it would bear, yielding more profit than the whole of aQBO-acre farm adjoining. Save all your home fertilizers. Fix the ammonia. of the stables with gypsum (plaster). Renovate valneless farms with cottonseed and flax- seed meal and bran, vhile pastnring sheep fattening for the butcher. Continue this plan until with clover the land becomes too rich for sheep. Then raise lean pork on the same feed. The advantage of underdrain- ing, as well as irrigation, seems too little understood except by the Japanese Whose 33,000,000 acres support more than one per- son to the acreâ€"F. Alden. Marl: Twain’s Wife was a. Miss Langdon, of Elmira. When “M'irk” first met hex" he was not. so distinguished as now. Her father was a. judge and doubtless expected “family” and social importance in his son- in-luw. Clemens, however, became inter- ested in his daughter and after a, while pro- posc<L but was rejected. ' ““7011,” he said to the lady, “I didn’t much believe you’d have me, but thought 11! yry.” ifner a. while he “tried” arr 1m, with the same result and then remaikcd, with his celebrated drawi: “I think a. great deal mom of you than if you d _sa.id ‘Y es but it. 5 hard to bear. ” ' A third time he met; with better fortune and then came the most diiliculb part of his taskâ€"to address the 01d gentleman. “Judge,” he said to the dignified million- aire “have vou seen anvthin oinor on be- , . . . . . ., g a tween sts Luna and me ‘2’ “What ‘5 \tht ‘3” exclaimed the Judge, rather sharply, apparently non understand- ing the situation, yet. doubtless getting a. glimpse of it from the inquiry.
