Yon silver moon Gleams pale and still.I'he te.der tune, Faint-floating, plays, In moon-lit lays, A melody of other days.\"Tis sacred ground ; A peace profound Comes o'er my soul.Save at my fect The ceaseless beat Of waters murmuring low and sweet.~\u2014 Scribner for July.1 hear no sound, The Golden Rule Criss-Cross.[From the Church Journal.] \u201cClap, clap, elappy-te-clap I\" It began not later than 5 o'clock, one drowsy morning.\u201cClap, clap, clappy- te-clap!\u201d Louder and louder, faster and faster, nntil everybody in the houso was wide-awako.It began in Tom\u2019s room, .It clattered down the back stairway, through diningroom and parlors, and then out of the front door.Thero it paused, for Tom sat down on the steps the happiest boy in town.\u201cClap, clap, clappy-te-clap!\u201d It was tho melody of Tom\u2019s new clappers, you understand, In making them, the day before, he had eut three fingersand broke his knife.But what of that now?\u201cClap, clap, clappy-te-clap I\" and the fashionable young man in the next house threw up his window and shouted at Tom and threatened to call tbe police.Tom nover heard him.As the musical people say, he was \u201cperfectly entranced in his musical creations.\u201d His father came down and brought him to his senses.Tom walked oft silently and out of temper.lo started to find some place where he could beat his clappers in peace.Did he over stop Susie's tram, trum, {rumming on the piano, and call it a dreadful noise?When several squares away, he came to an open common.Ho struck for an old tree, not far from the orphanage wall ; under its branches ho sat down and began to clap his clappers as only a boy can.Soon a closoly shaved head popped up from the other side of the wall, a boy in a bluo smock, ono of tho orphans, Then up came another, and another, and six or seven anoth- ors at tho pull, until every boy in the | institution was a charmed listener.Possibly you could have heard a pin drop\u2014a good sized linch pin\u2014in the brief silence following Tom's triumphant effort, Then Hi Selden, the cldest of all, cried out, \u201cGive 'em to me, won't you, now ?\u201d Livery blue smock joined in full chorus, \u201cGive 'em to me, toss 'em up.\u201d Tom will always remember that as ono of tho happiest moments of his hie.\u201cHo went closor to the wall, clapping a soft accompaniment to his approach.Forty froshly scoured hands were outstretched, and aguin tho deafening chorus.\u201cDid they nover give you any clappers 77 askod Tom, compassionatoly.\u201cNo! nol no!\u201d emphatically.\u201cNor lot you mako any ?\u201d \u201cNo! no! dlaven't anything to make them of! Haven't any wood! Haven't any knives! Never had a clapper in the house.Dol do! do!\u201d And then Tom remembered his last Sunday\u2019s text, the verse given him for acting upon throughout the week: \u201cDo unto others ns you would they should do unto you.\u201d 1lo was but lit.te inclined to give away his clappors.Besides, ho should have to bo partial, Ono boy alone would bo happy.Nineteen would bo miserable, Within a week there was to be tho annual donation ab the orphanage.Susie had been making protty things for the funcy table.Sho had asked him what he would give to those poor children, Uo had given no thought to their pov- orty until that momont.Not a pair of clappers among twenty boys, and no hope of ever getting any! \u201cWon't givo you these,\" ho said significantly, lotting the big boy take them for a minute or two.He walked away, clapping with ronowod vigor.Tho boys watched him with a hopo thoy could not have defined.Littlo was seen of Tom for the next low days.Ho was busy nt somothing out in the burn, He cut up his fin.govs ato surprising rate, and broke his father's Icnifo as woll as his own.\u201cDo unto others as you would they should do unto you \u201cClap, clap, clappy-te-clap.\u201d Ile might have givon up but for remembering ail that.1t was late in the afternoon of the donation day when Tom pnased through tho crowd surrounding the table of tho treasurer, where all donations wero rocoivod and rocorded.Ho bore a little package, neatly sealed in ved paper, and on its face was a card, upon which wns printed in rather dizzy looking lottery: \u201cSomething for the boys.Do unto others as you would thoy should do unto you.\u201d \u201cIt isn't puch, suid Tom, whon asked what his donution was, \u201cI will go und give it to the boys myself.\u201d le fieard them singing in the school room, and without further explunation mando his way thither.At tho sight of him the face of the big boy, who was reciting tho service rather gloomily, broke into sudden smiles.Thon followed .a hymn, and a few remuris from a clergyman, When the latter talked to the children of doing unto uthers as they would bo done by, Tom really thought tho sponker bad read what was written on the red package.\u201cHave you got \u2018em ?\u201d said the big boy eagerly, und Tom's face said yes, as he led the happy troop to the play ground.And then you should have heard tho music! Mature ours might have called the sound by a different name, but to those boys it was music, undetiled.Twenty-one pairs of clap- pors allin full go! Why it was the culminating joy of the successful day.The old lady in the reception room, who had given the institution 50 com- fortables, that afternoon, and 50 Bibles, and 50 pairs of good woolen stoékings, was not half so delighted as was our Tom for donating 20 pairs of black walnut clappors.Presently the brisk little matron oume out, both hands uplifted.\u201cGo farther from the honse\u2014farther from the houso.We are deafened by your noise.And now remember,'\u2014it was very hard to wait upon her so long, and a few faint claps broke in,\u2014:\u2018remember, the boy who claps once after he comes in, will lose bis clappers.\u201d They had the best time in the world for nearly an hour, and then they marched in to supper.I am sorry to tell what happened then.Before grace was fairly said, Neddy Larkins forgot himself so far as to take out his clappers, and of courso the very fivst note cost him his treasures.\u201cDon\u2019t cry,\u201d whispered Tom, \u201cI'll give you somo more.\u201d I wish my story might end after a pleasanter tashion than it must.It would be so gatisfuctory to relate how tho boys were made happy many years by Tom's gift; that the sight of them always reminded them of the Golden Rule, ote.But not so.The orphanage was an old ladies\u2019 home as well as a refuge for children.Don't you see how doing unto others ns you would be done by, by boys with clappers, would be very ditferent under such circumstances ?Aftor tea, when so much was going on, Sammy Trot thought no one would miss him, Ho ran up stairs to the frrther end of the upper hall, for one just, one, clap, clap, clap-te-clap, Now Auntie King bad gone to bed, and Auntie Xing was supposed to be quite hard of hearing.The noise started her at once ; sharply she rang her bell and Sammy Trot's clappers quickly found their way to tho matron\u2019s pock- ot.\u201cIt is not doing as you would like to be done by,\u201d she said, when he whimpered.The boys were all in their beds, the house was silent, and the tired matron was trying havd\u2018to go to sleep.The full moon looked into the long dormitory, and woke up Johnny Kemp.Now Johnny's clappers were under his pillow.Music by moonlight is unusually sweet, and Johnny was tempe ed beyond that ho was able.\u201cClap, clap, clappy-te-clap!\u201d and at once the domitory was a babel of wide-awako boys.Suffice it to say, seven pairs of clappers went with one stroke.But Georgie Parks did tho strangest thing, and the most inexcusable, considering tho lessons he had to profit by.lt was in chapel, tho very next morning.Tho organ was softly playing.The boys\u2019 voices uplifted tho morning anthem of praise, when he dared, or rather so far forgot bimself and tho place, as Lo take out his clappers, and venture an accompaniment.That was the last he saw of thom, to bo sure.\u201cI'll never be such a goosey as to lose mine,\u201d said the big boy.He grew very fond of going on errands.Clap, clap, clap, ho went to the butcher's, baker's and the boot and shue-maker's and never would ho take them from his pocket aftor passing the orphan- ago gato.But, ono day, be had a pail of milk to carry, a paper of {rosh buns and a papor bag of beans.All this luggage intorfered with his music considerably, but ho was not discouraged.When bo reached home, the most of the milk had been slopped over-pail, tho buns distributed \"along the sido- walk, and the still puffed up bag had a very faint show of bonns.\u201cNow hand mo your clappers,\u201d said tho matron, Tom hond it all, and was sorely puzzled.Ho had sinceroly tried to do unto tho orphanage boys as he would havo had thom do unto him; but ho had brought them much sorrow with a little short lived joy.Twenty pairs of good black walnut clappors in tho matron's box | Ilow he had worked and sufforod in the making of them! The very rule he had worked by had somehow defoated his objoct, Ilis own olappors had brought him disappointment.An invalid with vory weak nerves lived in the houso adjoining theirs; and she had written him such a protty note, all in rhyme, on tinted, perfumed paper, nnd accompanied by a delicate button hole bouquet :\u2014 .\u2018 \u201cclap, clap, clappy-te-clap! And évery nerve gets a rappy-te-rap, A tap and a rap, a rap and a tap, Until I know what's going to hap, 1f that merry boy with the jaunty cap Don\u2019t cease his endless olappy te-clap! ¥@To he coutinned at the next report.\u201d 1t caused him to fall into a thoughtful mood.Ho concluded his prolonged meditation by deciding that boys havo difficultivs in doing as thoy would bo done by that only loys understand.\u201cTheir offorts in that direction aro apt to get \u2018criss oross;\u2019 and it won't come right, either,\u201d ho togitatod, \u201cnu- til we boys\u2014until wo boys\u201d\u2014but he ot no farther, and there we leave Im.Homo, the Spiritualist, is recovering from his recont decoase at the baths of La Malou, France, and is getting out a book with the Intoat intolligonto from tho otber world, LL « Shrewd Tommy Sawyer.[Mark I'waiu\u2019s new book in press.) Tom Sawyer, having offended his sole gumdinn, Aunt Polly, is by that sternly-uffectionate dame punished by being sot Lo whitewash tho fence in front of tho garden.The world seemed a hollow mockery to Tom, who had planned fun for that duy, and who knew he would bo the laujhing stock of all the boys as they came past and saw him sat to work like a \u201cnigger,\u201d But a great inspiration burst upon him, and he went Lran- quilly to work.What that inspiration was appears from what follows, One of these boys, Bon Rogers, comes by and pauses, eating a particularly fino apple.Tom does not see him.Bon stared a moment, and then said : \u201cHi-yi! You're up a stump aint you ?\" No answer.Tom surveyed bis last touch with the eye of an artist, then he guvo another gentle sweep and sur- voyed the rosult, as befure.Ben ranged up alongside of him.Tom's mouth watered for the apple, but he stuck to bis work.Ben said: \u201cHello, old chap ; you got tu work, hey 7\u201d \u201cWhy, it's you, Ben; I wasn't noticing.\u201d \u201cSay, I'm going in a swimming.1 am.Don't you wish you could ?But, of course, you'd druther- work, wouldn't you?Course you would I\u201d Tom contemplated the boy a bit, and said : \u201cWhat do you call work ?\u201d \u201cWhy, ain\u2019t that work ?\u201d Tom resumed his whitewashing, and answered carelessly : \u201cWell, maybe it is, and maybe it ain't.All I know is, it suits Tom Sawyer.\u201d \u201cOh, come now, you don\u2019t mean to let on that you like it?\u201d The brush continued to move.\u201cLike it?Well, I don\u2019t seo why 1 oughtn't to like it.Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day ?\u201d That put the thing in à new light Ben stopped nibbling his apple.Tom swept his brash/daintily back and forth \u2014stepped back to note the effect\u2014 adding a touch here and there\u2014criti- cised the effect again,\u2014Ben watched every move, and gotting more und more interested, more and more absorbed.Presently he said: \u201cSay, Tom, let me whitewash a little.: Tom considered ; was about to con- sont; but he altered his mind: \u201cNo, \u2018no, I reckon it won't hardly do, Ben.You sce, Auiit Polly's awful \u2018particular about this fence,\u2014right hore \u2018on the street, you know\u2014but if it was the back fence I wouldn\u2019t mind, and sho wouldn't.Yes, she ia awful particular about this fence; it's got to be done very careful ; I reckon there ain\u2019t one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it the way it's got to be done.\u201d \u201cNo\u2014is that so?Oh, come now; lommo just try, only just a little.I'd lot you if you was me, Tom.\u201d : \u201cBou, 1 like to, honest Injun; but Aunt Polly\u2014well, Jim wanted to do it, but she wouldn't let Sid Now, don't jou see how l'm fixed ?IF you was to tackle this fonce, and anything was to happen to it\u201d\u2014 \u201cOh, shucks! I'll be just as careful.Now, lemmo try.Say\u2014T'll give yon tho corner of my apple.\u201d \u201cWell, bere.No, Ben; now don't I'm afeared\u201d\u2014 \u2019 \u201clll give you all of it 1\" Tom gave up the brush with a reluctance in his fuco but alacrity in his heart.And, while Ben worked and sweated in the sun, the retired artist sat on a barrel in tho shade close by, dangling bis legs, munching his apple and planned the slaaghter of more innocents.There was no lack of material; boys happoñed along every little whilo; they came to jeer, but remained to whitewash.\u201cBy tbe time Ben wis tagged out, Tom had traded the next chanco to Billy Fisher for a kite in good repair; and when he played out, Johnny Miller bought it for à dead rat and a string to swing it with ; and so on, hour after hour.And when the middle of the afternoon came, from boing wu poor, poverty stricken boy in the morning, Tom was literally rolling in wealth.He had, besides the things I havo montioned, wwaolve marbles, part of a jews harp, a piece of bluo bottle glass to look through, a spool cannon, a key that wouldn't unlock anything, a fragment of chulk, n glass stopper of à docantor, a tin soldior, à couple of tadpoles, six fire crackers, a kitten with only one eye, a brass door-knob, a dog collar\u2014 but no dog\u2014tho handle of a kuifo, four pieces of orange peel, and a dilup- idated old window sash, Ile had had a nice, good, idlo timo all the while\u2014 plenty of company \u2014and the fônce had threo coats of whitewash on it! If ho hadn\u2019t\u2018run out of whitowash ho would bäve bankrupted ovory boy in tho vil- lago.Tom said to himself that it was not such a hollow world aftor all.Ho had discovered a grout law of human pe.tion \u2018without knowing ii, namely: that, in order to make a man or a boy.covot a thing, it is only nôcossary to make tho thing difficult to attain, 1f ho had been a great philosopher, like tho writer of this bool, he would have comprohondod that work consists of whatover & body is obliged to do.And this would help hin to understand.what to do, and that play consists of whatever a body is obliged to do.Aud this would help him to.understand why constructing artificial flowers or performing on a tread will is work, whilst rolling nine-pins or climbing Mont Blano is only amusement, Tbero ave\u201d wéalthÿ\" gentlemen in, England Who drive four-hôrse passonger-çonch- op Lwobty or thiity, miles on u daily 1nd, fu tho sudimor, bocausp tho priv- ilego costs them.considerable.money bu6 iF thy.weve offered woges-for the serviod, that would tirn it into work, and they | + wold resign.|.Rhonmatism.is always à joint affair, and yet there is only ons party to it.smoke ?Cotton factory!

\u201cIt is singular,\u201d said the Colonel.\u201cAnd now let me direct your attention to another paragraph.He says: * \u2018We wore astonished to notice that while Noah's ark goes sailing in the remote distance, thereis, close to it; a cotton factory, tho chimney of which is pouring out white smoke that covers the whole of the sky in tbe picture, while the ark seems to be trying to sail down that: chimney.Now, they didn't have cotton factories in those days ; the thing don't hang.The artist must have been drunk.\u2019 \u201cNow, Colonel, this insinuation pins me.How would you-lilte -it, if you painted a picture, of the Tower of Babel.and somebody should comé along and insist that it was the chim; ney of 4 cotton factory and tlie clouds with which the sky is covered : was Your man certainly cannot be famihar with thé Scriptures ; and when be talks abou the ark sailing.down that chimney; he forgets that the reason why it is standing.on oné-erid is that tho water is so Tough as to make it pitch.You know the Bible \u2018says that the ark did Now don\u2019t it?\u201d EEE ; \u201cI think maybe it does,\u201d replied the Colonel, * .\u2026\u2026.\u201cBut that\u2019s.not the :worst; I en stand:it.But-what do you think-of : man who goes criticising A work \u201cof art, \u2018and says\u2014now juet-listen-to this : \u201c\u2018On the right is a boy who hus hia clothes off, and hus apparently been in swimming and has beon rescued by a big.yellow dog just as he was about to drown.Wbat tbis has to do witiæthe Triumph of Truth we do not know, but we do know that the dog is twice a3 large as the boy, and that he has the boy's head in-his mouth while the boys hands-are tied bohind .his back.Now for a boy to go in swimming with his hands tied, and for a dog to swallow his bead so as to drag him out appears to us to be the awfullest folly on earth.\u2019 Lo \u20ac \u201cColonel, you will probably be -sur- prised to learn that your critic is here referring to a very beautiful study - of A Christinn martyr, who has been thrown among the wild beasts of the arvens, and: wbo is engaged in: being eaten by a lion.Tho animal-is not a yellow dog; that human being has net been in swimming; and the g'oason that he.is smaller than the lion is that I had to make bim so in order to get his head into the lion's mouth, Would you have me represent the lion as large as an elephant?Would you have we paste a lnbel on the Christian martyr to inform the public that \u2018This is not a boy who has been treading water with his hands tied.\" Now look at the matter calmly.Is the Bugle encouraging art when it goes on in this manner?Blame me if I think it is?\u201cIt certainly doesn\u2019t seem 80.\u201d \u201cWoll, then, what do you say to this?What do you think of a eritic who remarks : Co \u201cBut the most extraordinory thing in tho picture ie a group'in tho foreground: An old lady with an iron coal scuttle on hor hod is handing some black pills to a ballet dancer dressed in pink tights, while another woman in a budly fitting chemise, stands by them brushing off the flids, with.tho branch of a tree, with a canary: bird vesting upon her shoulder and trying to sing at some small boys who are sgon in tho othor corner of the field.What this means wo haven't.the ro- motest iden; but do know -that .the bullet.dancer's logs bavé: the knee« pans at the back of the joint; and that: the canary bird looks more as if it wanted, to eat.the cbal-souttle than as if he desired to sing.SE \u201cThis is too bad.: Do -you know what that beautiful group represonts ?You'll hardly believe it, and yot, as true a8 I'am sitting hore, that old la dy, a8 your idiot calls her, is Minerva, the Goddess of War, handing\u2014not pills, mind you; pills | why its \u2018awful \u2014handing cannon balls to the Goddess of Lovo as u token there shall bes no more war.And the figure in what he valls tho chomise ie the Genius of Liberty, holding out ar olive branch with one.hand, while upon hér shoulder rests an American eagle, soreaming: defiance at the onemios of his countiy.Canary bird I small boys 1 ballet girl Tho man is crazy, sir; stark, staring mad I: It's awful | and now I watit you: to writo up an explanation for ne snd publish it.This kind of thing expos os me to derision.It excites :laughter.I-oan\u2019t stand it; and by orgs I won'tl I'll sue you for libel.hurts tho sale of the pioture.\u201d \u2018Then tho colons!

and it is known that at this + 2 \u201c\u2026 À Tate, in 16 years, anless something be \u201c done to restore the forests, ail the forests of America will disappear.Great pains have been taken to ascertain the amount of wood of all kinds, cut and carried off annually.A year ago whes - in Wasbirgion, I said, *\u201cIbere is no doubt, that in 12 1-2 years, at the raté the forests have been cut down for .many years past, they will disap pear.\u201d I say now, gentlemen, thai unless something be done to stay this destruction, ail our forests will soon be gone.Every farmer is called upon to do something to retard this destruction, as he owns a part of the remain, ing forests; also to aid in restoring them by planting trees and otherwi in prcmoling the second growth, where the fcrest has been cat off.i $ - PREVEXTION OP RUST IN WHzAT.\u2014 Tue Georgia commissioner of agriculture, Dr.Thomas P.Janes has issued; a circular to the wheat growers of his.state, in which be says that bavingi received information that the wheat, in many sections is injured by the.rust, he suggests the trial of nitrate of soda on a small plat as a preventive, and asks that a report of the results to bis department at Atlanta bo made.\u2018Dr.Janes gives .the following directions for the use of the nitrate: \u201cPulverize well and sow broadcast over the wheat when \u2018in the boot,\u2019 while the \u201cflew iis on the blades, at the rate of 75 1bs.to the acre.This is recommended #380 experiment as far as proventing : .rust is concerned ;

any tinman can make one, which can be attached to a long handle.Always keep to the windward in applying it, | and do not breathe the dust.It takes bat a slight, but evenly diffused dusting.In applying with water, recollect tbat it is uot soluble; it is only diffused in the water, it is heavy, and ly stirred.Use a tablespoonful toa by means of a watering pot, or syringe, of which there are various kinds sold at the irsplement and seed stores, a garden engine, or by means of a [whisk of broom corn.It kills the perfect insects and larvæ or grub, bat does not kill the eggs.Watch the vines, and if a new crop has hatched out, renew the application.Insist that your neighbors on all sides shall kil! the insects also, else later in the season they will keep you supplied.Paris green is & most virulent and: deadly poison, and should, be kept and used as such.Keep the stock of poison where no one else, by accident or design, can get ut it.Keep the utensils with which it is applied where they cannot be got at to be used tor any other purpose until they are thorougbly eleansed.Use care and common sense, and do not forget the natore of the article you are deal: ing with.See to it yourself.Persons with cracks, or sores upon their bands, should not meddie with the poison.\u201cWill it poison the potatoes, or the soil, and injure future crops?\u201d is a {very frequent and proper question.We are warranted in saying decidedly, No.\u2014 American Agriculturist.oance of freshly pulverized areca nut, ine the first morning feed.Repeat in one weok.This has usually been a sure remedy, and it is safe, roquiring no special care or attention Lo -the horse.\u2014Country Gentleman.Tee WooL TraDpE.\u2014It is too com- mou, in times of depression in wool & like the present, to sellout and seek other business.Don\u2019tde it, you who have good flocks and know how to bandietbem:;-Cullout:thre\"poor ÿ ones and dispose of them well fattôned for the market, and keop at least \u2018the nucleus for a\u2019 flock when business will improve, as it is sire to do.\u2014 Prairie Farmer.The:negroes of Tennessee arc leaving tho State by scores\u2019and hundreds./| Reason why\u2014the -farmors refuse to pay them for their.work.\u201c An\u2019enferprising man who could nol spare one of his hens for sitting pur- Poses, has adopted the novel.method of firmly tying à rooster to\u201d insure a crop of chickens, .A now pest, in;
