A little elbow leans upon your knee. Your tired knee that has so much to bear; A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly From underneath a thatch of tangled hair. Perhaps you do not head the velvet touch Of warm, moist fingers, folding yours so tight; You do not prize this blessing over much. You almost are too tired to pray to-night. But it is blessedness! A year ago I did not see it as I do to-day— We are so dull and thankless, and too slow To catch the sunshine till it slips away. And now it seems surpassing strange to me, That, while I love the badge of motherhood, I did not kiss more oft and tenderly The little child that brought meonly good. And if, some night when you sit down to rest, You miss this elbow from your tired knee, This restless curling head from off your breast, This lisping tongue that chatters constantly; If from your own the dimpled hands had slipped, And ne'er would nestle in your pains again; If the white feet into their grave had tripped, I could not blame you for your heartache then! wonder so that mothers ever fret At little children clinging to their gown; Or that the footprints, when the days are wet, Are ever black enough to make them frown. If I could find a little muddy boot, Or cap or jacket on my chamber floor; If I could kiss a rosy, restless foot, And hear it patter in my home once more, If I could mend a broken kite to day, To-morrow make a kite to reach the sky— There is no woman in God's world could say She was more blissfully content than I. But ah! the dainty pillow next my own Is never rumpled by a shining head; My singing birdling from its nest is flown; The little boy I used to kiss is dead. —Mrs. Albert Smith. VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT. From the Agricultural Department Report. No one can doubt but that a realization of the advantages of tree planting may be greatly promoted through the influence of associations formed for town and village improvement, especially where these enterprises include the premises connected with schools, and where the labors interest the young. An appreciation of the beauties of nature will tend to such measures as will best secure their presence. An example of unusual success may lead to imitation; and thus extending from one place to another, and from villages to farms, homesteads and rural dwellings, the general result cannot fail of largely increasing the amount of planting in a country, and of enhancing the enjoyment of the inhabitants among whom this taste for rural ornament prevails. The tendencies of such emulations have been thus noticed by a zealous laborer in this field of useful public service: "The influence of village improvement in cultivating the taste, developing town pride and public spirit, promoting sympathy with nature, leading to the beautifying of the home, and thus binding the heart of childhood with stronger ties to the homestead, and checking excessive passion for city life, suggests the educational bearings of this subject. A beautiful village is itself an educator to all its youth; for the child's surroundings influence its character." In many villages throughout the country, the stranger cannot fail of being impressed with a sense of home comfort, sociability and kindness which the place presents at MACHINERY, Hardware, Groeries, PAINTS AND OILS CROCKERY & LAMPS Always on hand.

BLACKSMITHING AND WACONMAKING! Removal. MR. H. A. STOUGH DESIRES TO INFORM THE public that he has removed his blacksmith shop to the shop on Lemon Street formerly occupied by H. J. McDermott, and respectfully solicits the continued patronage of his many customers. One part of the shop is occupied by Mr. T. L. GAN-NON, Wagoumaker, who is prepared to do all kinds of woodwork in a thorough manner and at cheap rates. Messrs. Stough and Gannon are jointly agents for The Osborn Farm Machinery.

A beautiful village is itself an educator to all its youth; for the child's surroundings influence its character." In many villages throughout the country, the stranger cannot fail of being impressed with a sense of home comfort, sociability and kindness which the place presents at first sight, and this impression is often confirmed upon nearer view, as he gets more fully acquainted. This feeling is not due to fine houses nor wide and well-paved streets; for what would be more cheerless than such houses or streets unless embellished with trees? It is rather due to the general effect of well-kept avenues of shade trees, smooth lawns, and tastefully-arranged vines and shrubbery. It is especially improved if the object of admiration is a public park or other ground, in which the care does not depend upon individual taste, but upon a prevailing sense of culture and refinement among the citizens, which finds expression in the acts of their public officers, who are chosen to represent their taste in the execution of ornamental improvements, as well as to discharge the common duties of their office. Among the old towns and villages of New England, there are many that are conspicuous on account of the splendid avenues of trees that line their streets and shade ancestral homes. One of these places is Stockbridge, Mass., which owes its beauty to the "Laurel Hill Association," formed long ago for improving a village park, and from this, the cemetery, public streets, and neighborhood generally. The citizens living along the streets improved were encouraged to put their premises in tasteful condition, and in keeping them so. The progress of the work is pleasantly described by the Rev. N. P. Eggleston, in a paper written for the New York Tribune: "Next followed the planting of trees by the roadside wherever trees were lacking. The children, sometimes disposed in their thoughtlessness to treat young trees too rudely, were brought in as helpers of the association, while at the same time put under a beneficial culture for themselves. Any boy who would undertake to watch and care for a particular tree for two years, was rewarded by having the tree called by his name. Other children were paid for all the loose papers and other unsightly things which they would pick up and remove from the streets. Gradually the work of the association extended. It soon took in hand the streets connected with the main street. Year by year it pushed out walks from the center of the village toward its outer borders; year by year it extended its line of trees in the same manier; and year there has been a marked improvement in the aspect of the village. Little by little, and WAGONMAKING! Removal. MR. H. A. STOUGH DESIRES TO INFORM THE public that he has removed his blacksmith shop to the shop on Lemon Street formerly occupied by H. J.

The present proprietor of the notorious gaming establishment at Monte Carlo holds a lease of this lucrative privilege which will not expire till 1916. The Prince of this anomalous little State receives as ground rent 50,000 francs per annum, and a tenth of the profits of the tables; besides which his little army of forty soldiers in light blue uniform, and his twenty gendarmes in cocked hats, are clothed and maintained from the same source. The number of suicides last year traceable to losses at the tables is officially reported as fourteen only, and the number of delinquencies attributable to the same cause as forty-seven. A gentleman of high official position at Nice estimates the real number of suicides at an average of about three a week.

Gradually the work of the association extended. It soon took in hand the streets connected with the main street. Year by year it pushed out walks from the center of the village toward its outer borders; year by year it extended its line of trees in the same maner; and year by year there has been a marked improvement in the aspect of the village. Little by little, and in many nameless ways, the houses and lawns, the door-yards and farms have come to wear a look of neatness and intelligent, tasteful care that make the Stockbridge of to-day quite a different place from what it was twenty years ago. Travelers passing through it are apt to speak of it with admiration as a finished place, and compared with most of our New England villages, it has such a look; but the Laurel Hill Association does not consider its home finished nor its own work completed. Committees are even now conning plans for further improvements. By itself, or by suggestions and stimulations offered to others, the association is aiming at the culture of the village people through other agencies than those of outward and physical adornment. It fosters libraries, reading rooms, and other places of resort, where innocent and healthful games, music, and conversation will tend to promote the social feeling, and less vice by removing some of its causes." The final summing up of the terrible earthquake at Chio gives a total of 9,000 killed and nearly 11,000 more or less seriously injured. No figures are furnished in regard to the destruction of property, but thousands of dwelling houses have been destroyed and entire communities rendered homeless. The Railroad Commission bill has passed the New York Assembly by a vote of 74 to 33, after vigorous opposition from the representatives of the milled interests.

John Lucy was drowned last week by falling from a sailboat near Benicia. Daniel D. Collom was killed at the toll-house about 20 miles from Bakersfield, by a tree falling upon him. It has been decided that the "quackery law," aimed at quack doctors, is special legislation, and therefore unconstitutional. Charles Barker, a miner, was killed by a cave in the Union Shaft at Virginia City on Saturday. The Supreme Court on last Saturday denied the application for a writ of prohibition to prevent the auditing and payment of bills against the Drainage fund. The Greenbackers of Santa Rosa, Cal., have adopted a series of resolutions, embodying grave charges against State Railroad Commissioners Beerstecher and Cone, and demanding their impeachment and removal in disgrace from office.

London, May 7.—Miss Charlotte G. O'Brien, daughter of Smith O'Brian of "Young Ireland" fame, sends to the Pull Mall Gazette a letter entitled, "Horror of an Emigrant Ship," which was created a profound sensation and will be the subject of question in the Commons on Monday by O'Donnell. Miss O'Brian visited Queens-town in order to examine the mode of life of emigrants on a steamer, which vessel, however, she does not name. The following are the main points: "It is unnecessary to say that wharver the ensured foot of wealth tried on this ship all was gold and silver, shining brass, cleanliness, comfort and decency. We had come on board, however, to see the emigrants, and we were determined to see their quarters first. When we saw the quarters of the single men, descriptions of slave ships flashed across me. Below this place our guide showed us a deep hole, saying, 'I could not take you down there; it's much worse than you see.' But my business was with the women's quarters, and we went there. Between two decks better lighted than the men's quarters, was a large space open from one side of the ship to the other. From either side of a long central walk to the outer walls of the ship were slung two enormous hammocks, one suspended about three feet from the floor. What was going on in the two other hammocks above them I could not see, but I presume they were the same as those below. I suppose that each of these hammocks carry about 100 persons. They were made of sail cloth, and being suspended all around from developing town pride being sympathy with beautifying of the heart of childto the homestead, passion for city life, bearings of this village is itself an edfor the child's surcharacter." throughout the country, of being impressed comfort, sociability place presents at presson is often confered, as he gets more feeling is not due to well-paved streets; cheerless than such is embellished with to the general effect shade trees, smooth arranged vines and improved if the public park or the care does not taste, but upon a pure and refinement which finds expression officers, who are taste in the execumovements, as well as duties of their and villages of New that are conspicuplied avenues of sets and shade ancesse places is Stocktrees its beauty to the mo," formed long ago park, and from this, treets, and neighborcitizens living along are encouraged to put in condition, and in progress of the work by the Rev.

Army worms have appeared in Sunol Valley, Mendocino county, and are destroying everything eatable within their path. They are traveling south and east. The streets and houses in Hopland are said to be literally alive with them. Speaking of riparian rights, the Fresno Expositor says: "To the counties of Southern California this subject is vastly more important than any other that can be brought up. If the vine-growers and the farmers are to be subject to the whims of the stock-ranchers who chanced to buy land along the rivers at an early day, it is well for them to know it, so that they can emigrate." Dr. Robinson, of Colusa, has some eighty acres of land devoted to cotton culture this season, and Mr. Geo. W. Ware, also of Colusa, has planted no less than four hundred and eighty acres in cotton. Mr. Ware has devoted much time and labor to investigations concerning the requirements of climate and soil for the successful production of cotton, and he sees no reason why it may not be as profitably raised in this section of country as in the Southern States. The body of E. M. Gline was found in Santa Rosa creek on Friday of last week. He had committed suicide during the night by hanging himself, and had also evidently applied chloroform. The vial bore the label of a Los Angeles apothecary. The Coroner's jury this morning returned a verdict of death by strangulation and chloroform. Gline was a native of New Hampshire aged 59 years. He had come here from the southern part of the State a month ago, and was for a while an inmate of the County Hospital. A daughter is teaching school at Lakeport. Planting Trees. The statement is made in an Eastern paper that a Wisconsin farmer twenty-three years ago planted a piece of waste land, unfit for cultivation, with black walnut trees. These are now from 16 to 20 inches in diameter, and have been sold for $27,000. Are there not on very many farms in this State plots of land, larger or smaller, which for various reasons cannot be cultivated, but which might be utilized in the same manner? Some knowledge and care would be necessary in selecting the kinds of trees best adapted to the soil and situation of each tract. But the planting once done the work would be at an end. The trees would be growing while the farmer would be sleeping. His farm would in most cases be improved in appearance. The plan, if generally adopted, would give a picturesque beauty to many districts now bare and uninteresting. And some day the farmers or their sons would reap a golden harvest in return for the small investment of toil.—San Jose Times. FIGHTING PREACHERS. Among the innumerable anecdotes told of Father Taylor, the sailor preacher, writes the Boston correspondent of the Hingham Journal, we do not remember seeing one in print wherein the eccentric minister appeared as a representative of the church militant. It was on the occasion of a camp-meeting some fifty years ago. Just after the meeting had commenced rumors of war had reached the camp. A gang of dissolute fellows, headed by a notorious bully, had signified their intention of breaking up the camp-meeting, but the brethren had paid but little head to these threats, and proceeded with their en- two years, was retree called by his were paid for all the insightly things which and remove from the work of the association took in hand the main street. out walks from the ward its outer borextended its line of car; and year by year improvement in the Little by little, and houses, the houses and farms have come success and intelligent, the Stockbridge of place from what it Travelers passing break of it with admipace, and, compared England villages, it laurel Hill Assoctor its home finished completed.

An Italian writer on the recent catastrophe on the island of Ischia mentions those prognostics of an earthquake which are derived from animals. They were observed in every place where the shocks were such as to be generally perceptible. Some minutes before they were felt, the oxen and cows began to bellow, the sheep and goats bleated, and rushing in confusion one on the other, tried to break the wicker work of the folds; the dogs howled terribly, the geese and fowls were alarmed, and made much noise, the horses which were fastened in their stalls were greatly agitated, leaped up, and trigd to break the halters with which they were attached to the mangers; those which were proceeding on the roads suddenly stopped, and snorted in a very strange way. The cats were frightened, and tried to conceal themselves, or their hair bristled up wildly. Rabbits and moles were seen to leave their holes; birds rose, as if scared, from the places on which they had alighted; and fish left the bottom of the sea and approached the shores where at some places great numbers of them were taken. Even ants and reptiles abandoned, in clear daylight, their subterranean holes in great disorder, many hours before the shocks were felt. Some dogs, a few minutes before the first shock took place, awoke their sleeping masters by harking and pulling them, as if they wished to warn them of the impending danger, and several persons were thus enabled to save themselves. "Amentha," he murmured, with pathos in his voice, "why do you quiver at my touch? Why do you shrink from my embrace as the startled fawn trembles at the rustling of the autumn leaves?" "I've been vaccinated," she said. Among the innumerable anecdotes told of Father Taylor, the sailor preacher, writes the Boston correspondent of the Hingham Journal, we do not remember seeing one in print wherein the eccentric minister appeared as a representative of the church militant. It was on the occasion of a camp-meeting some fifty years ago. Just after the meeting had commenced rumors of war had reached the camp. A gang of dissolute fellows, headed by a notorious bully, had signified their intention of breaking up the camp-meeting, but the brethren had paid but little head to these threats, and proceeded with their exercises. One morning, just as the foreman services were to commence, an excited and almost breathless brother rushed up to the preacher's stand with the news that the gang of roughs were on the march for the camp-ground. Some confusion ensued when up sprang Father Taylor, shouting in stamorous tones: "Who will go with me and fight these Philistines!" The first man to respond was Rev. Lewis Bates, father of the well-known Rev. L. B. Bates. He was a man of large stature and herculean strength. Father Taylor was then in his prime, and very tough, wiry and muscular. Of fear he knew nothing. Several stalwart brothers at once volunteered, and in less than five minutes they were on the way to meet the foe. When just on the cathkiris of the grounds they encountered the band of suffians, headed by their leader, a huge, wicked-looking fellow. "Now," said Brother Bates, I will tackle that leader myself, and the rest of you make the best use you can of your fists and outgels." The two giants approached and climbed. In an instant the bully was thrown to the ground with great violence, and the heavy foot of Brother Bates was placed upon his throat. In the meantime Father Taylor and his side made such a vigorous assault upon the rest of the gang that they fled for dear life. Brother Bates now addressed the prostrate bally, who was writhing and choking under the heavy pressure. "Bag for mercy, you scandal;" and he did bag, and solemnly promised never to disturb another camp-meeting, upon which he was released. The brethren having done their whole duty, returned like "Uncle Josh Whitecomb," to their progrue and meditations.
