Pictures ol Memory.

Amor.s the beautiful picture?
That hanjr on Memory 's wall,
Is one of a illm old forest,
That seemeth best of nil:
\,,l for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the violets golden
Timt sparkle the vale liolow;
No! for the milk-white lilies,
That lead from the fragrant hedge,
Coquetting all day with the sunbeams,
And otealing their ({Olden >'dn'c;
Nut for the vines on the uplonrl
Win re the bright red berries rest,
Nor the pinks, nor the pale sweet cowslip,
It seemeth to me the best.
1 once had a little brother,
With eyes that were dark and deeiv—
In the lap of that dim old forest,
lie lieth in iieaee asleep:
1 isht as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow
V. e roved there the beautiful summers,
The summers of lone ago;
But his leet in the hills grew weary,
And, one of the autumn eves,
I made for my little brother,
A bed of the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
Mv neck in a meek embrace,
As the liifht. of immortal beauty
silently covered his face;
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree-tops bright,
He fell in his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates of light.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That haug on Memory's wall;
The one of th e dim old fore»t
Seemeth the best Oi all.

In its direct money value, and
in all its collateral and indirect
benefits, grass is worth'more to
the world than all the cereal
crops combined. Its direct
nothing in. comparison to its in~
direct value in the influence it
has in preserving the fertility of
our farms by its manural wealth
in all its fonjis. No man can
thrive,on a farm—no farm can
be self-supporting where grass
is wholly neglected, or advant-
age is not taken of stock raised
on other grass farms. The old
Belgian proverb is true—"No
grass, no cattle ; no cattle, no
manure ; no manuer, no crops."
It is supposed by many that
only such soil as is not fit for
estivation in the cereals or roots
should l?e devoted to grass.
This is a mistake. We can af-
ford to take our best soils for
the production of this crop, and
this is the real plan of bringing
them up to the highest point of
fertility.
Potatoes are scarce and high
here, St. Louis, and will likely
continue to advance till the new
crop comes in, by which time
the supplies of old stock will be
entirely exhausted. Good Peach-
blow potatoes are worth 90c
per bushel. The large quanti-
ties that usually come to us at
this time of year from the
north—Iowa and Minnesota-
are finding their way to more
eastern markets, the price being
higher. The new crop in this
vicinity will be late—about the
1st of July—some three weeks
later than last yearColumns
