THE LOVE KNOT.
Tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied her golden ringlets in,
But not alone in the silken snare,
Did she catch her lovely, floating hair;
For, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied a young man's heart’within.
They were strolling together up the bill,
Where the wind comes blowing merry and
chill,
And it blew the curls a frolicsome race
All over the happy, peach-colored face,
Till, scolding and laughing, she tied them in,
Under her beautiful, dimpled chin.
And it blew a color, bright as the bloom
Of the pinkiest fuschiu’s tossing plume,
All over the checks of the prettiest girl
That ever imprisoned a romping curl,
Or, in tying her bonnet under her chin
Tied a young man's heart, within.
Steeper and steeper grew the hill—
Madder, merrier, chiller still
The western wind blew down and played
The wildest tricks with the little maid,
As, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied a young man's heart within.
O, western wind, do you think it was fair
To play such tricks with hev floating hair ?
To gladly, gleefully, do your best
To blow her against the young man’s breast,
Where as gladly folded her in,
And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin.
0, Ellery Vane, you little thought,
An hour ago, when you besought
This country lass to walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
What a perilous danger you’d be in,
As she tied her bonnet under her chin.
From the La Crosse Democrat.]
One—Two—Three—The Code.
Charles, my boy, ]'ve been among
’em and live! 1 may say Eukeka, if
you dare, and if so, why not ?
I’ve been down among the Missis
sippi editors. I bad a high point, like
tliis! There arc surface indications in
that State and all over the South, of
honor. You don't have to bore far
before you reach it. At one village I
touiut it oozing out quite lovingly, a
walked into a sanctum and says I, “I
am glad to see you, I didn’t expect to
find you in.”
Says the editor—‘Then what in
did you come in for?’
Said I—‘To sec if I could find you
out 1’
lie challenged me before I got down
stairs; we fought with pistols across a
dining table. Nobody hurt.
I went on to Tinkerville, and at last
found a printing office in the back end
of a meat shop. The editor was in.
Said I—‘This a bloody hole for an edi
tor to be ini’
Said he—‘The -you say ?’ AY'c
fought in the backyard with cleavers,
Nobody hurt.
Then I went to Rapstown. The ed
itor of the Rapstown Ripper was mak
ing a fence about his garden. Said I—
‘You don't have much stile here since
the war!’
He dropped his little hatchet, ala G.
AVA, and asked if I had a friend. 1
.-■.!«>m{i him a $20 gold piece and asked
b> "^es. AY’e fought in the graveYard
atjf undown, and I bent him out of $50
tit draw poker before morning.
I moved gently on to Vicksby. The
editor of the Vicksby Popper was out.
He was fightinga duel across the street.
Wishing to save my neck when lie
came iu, said I—‘Did you fetch him?’
AY’hat harm in that question? Rut
there was. Said he—‘Do I look like a
dog to carry and fetch ?’
I was in for it. AY’e fought at three
o'clock. He blew my hat off-—I blew
any nose.
1 slid over the country. I heard a
firing in a swamp and found two edi
tors there engaged in a duel. They
had fired twenty rounds anil neither
was hurt. Said I—
‘Gentlemen, if I may be allowed the
expression,'don't tire at each other, or
you'll hit me !’ I was at right angles
behind a stump. They shook hands,
emptied a flask, aud 1 had to tight both
of them then and there. Nobody hurt.
i forward marched again. AY'eut to
a hotel. Asked the landlord where
the editor's office was. He told me,
and sent a bov to tell the editor that I
wanted ldm. lie came with a scythe
and five shot guns in a wheelbarrow,
lie challenged me for not knowing
where his office was. We fought with
the scythe, best two in three. Ilo fell
at tho first tire. I sevtli to think of it!
Again I roved. At Duzztown the
editor of tho Duzztown Buzznr was
playing billiards. He invited me to
play with him. As a billiardist 1
claim no superiority. 1 made two by
holeiug the white hall. We were talk
ing about tlie late war. He made sev
eral allots—counted seventy-eight.
Said I:
‘You made a splendid run!' That
night in the swam)) there was a duel.
We fought with short swords. The
editor of the Duzzar will never make
another run!
At Hocum, Mr. Wise, editor of tire
llocum Endwise, wished to know if 1
wrote this, which he took from n late
number of the l.a Crosse Democrat:
‘And we believe tlie entire story is
false as patent calves, and that he would
steal likewise!’
Said we, ‘Yes.’ Said he—
‘Well, air, what rigid hud you—you
sir, 1 mean you—to single me out of
all your acquaintances? Why—why,
why cast a slur on my family? Why
vilicatc my father, and his father, and
his father, and still father back ?'
I trembled somely you bet, and ask- j
ed how, what, which and when. Said
he—
‘Yon said lie would steal like Wise, j
My name is Wise, I am the only Wise
of prominence. There is no editor
likewise, and you thus insult me doub
ly. Choose your friend!’
Charles, we went down to the
swamp, lie was wise—he never will
lie Wise again. They planted ldm.
Editing is quite pleasant when you
have these things! If you'd do well,
don't duel unless you do well.

The Fruit Garden.
Thin out earfully the young fruit of
choice varieties where too thickly set, and
its superior sixe and flavor will repay the
trouble, if designed either for market pur
pose or home use. Prune away, or rub
off any superfluous and ill placed shoots
of the fruit trees, especialy those of the
vine. Vine shoots near the ground must
be removed. If the old vine has a stem
too long and naked, a strong shoot near
the root may be reserved to take its place
at the end of a couple of summer’s
growth. The old vine above may then be
cut out. Do not pinch back the shoots
reserved for the next, year’s crop, but en
courage their growth as much as possible.
Pinch off, if neglected in April, the ex
tremities of shoot now in fruit, that the
strength of the shoot may go to swell the
bunch. Leave four to six loaves above
the bunch to shade it and elaborate the
sap. Thin out entire bunches of fruit
where set too thick, and remove, if extra
ordinary bunches are desired, a portion of
the berries from each. Try applications
of sulphur to drive off insects and protect
from rot and mildew. Suppress all in
jurious shoots that would draw the sap
from the now inserted grafts. Break off
the points of young fig shoots, to make
them swell their fruit. Water occasionally
newly planted trees, and strawberry beds,
in bearing, profusely every other day, in
dry weather. All watering at this sea
son, should be done in the evening.
Destroy caterpillars and other insects on
your fruit trees and grape vines; kill
aphides by fumigating with tobacco smoke.
.Destroy all slugs and snails found about
fruit trees.—[Southern Cultivator, May.
The Beef Question.
The editor of the Muscatine (Town)
Journal seems to have tackled a tough
customer, on tne beef question, lie
found fault with the high price of beef,
and received the following rculv from
Dutch John. The English isn’t first
rate, but (ho filets are stubborn and the
Journal man may ns well acknowledge
the corn:
Muscatine, May 1, 1867.
Mu. Ingersole—Sure—Dcrc is some
things you knows shust so better as
anybody, and dcre is some tings you
don't knows. You kin discuss dc nce
ger question, and dc Shonson question,
and dc dariff question, and some odor
questions, and can dodge de demper
ance question so better as never was,
but you knows notting ot' de beef ques
tion. Dis is entirely bevont your
comprehensibility.
For why? Peeves is skase. I kin
puy plenty of tings wot sonic volks
might call peeves, but 1 calls them
skallawag cattles. Dey are nothing
but hide and pones, with a little yaller
gristle here and there. Dc grain is
skase, de grass be no more come up on
account of de frosty wedder: de hay is
no plenty. And derfore, as I have said,
de peeves dat is fit for vile volks to eat
is mighty skase. Hence you shall not
expect to get sheep peef till dc wedder
gits right. dc crass comes nn. and so on.
I sells the ferry best peef in Amerikv,
and 1 sells him shust so sheep as I kin
affort at dc present times. If you want
to cat skallawag peef, eat him. 1 no
sells him in any price vatever.

JtaT'Hen. W——, an old friend of
ours—now deceased—had a fast horse
named Kawdon, we believe, and was
not a man to be backed out when any
one else thought he could beat him in
a race or any other way. A party of
Tennesseeans brought a race horse to
his neighborhood, and so a match was
soon made up between their nag and
Kawdon. The Tennesseeans, however
to make a ‘’dead thing” of it, concocted
a plot to steal Kawdon from his stable
at night and run him secretly against
their horse—if the latter won, all right;
and if he lost, they could pay forfeit
and back out. The General, by some
means, got knowledge of what they
intended, and look measures to facili
tate the carrying out ol' the plot. He
went to his stable early in the night,
securely fastened upon each of Kaw
don’s fetlocks a bar of lead bent to
-i iicii n in ill” mi*
I stable door unlocked, and giving (lie
I proper instructions to tlie groom, lip
I awaited tlie result. The Tennessee
horse of course, beat Itawdon that
night easily; and the (ieneral was not
surprised the following day to receive
from his backers a proposition to
-double the bet.” To this he readily
assented, and in the real race, when
Itawdon had free use of his heels, the
(ieneral won ull the money the Ten
nesseeans could stake.—[Columbus

JEWELRY ASSOCIATION
Calls your attention to the fact of its being
the largest and most popular Jewelry Associ
ation in the United States. The business is.
and always has been conducted in the most
candid and honorable manner. Our rapidly
increasing trade is a sure guarantee of the
appreciation of our patrons for this method
of obtaining rich, elegant and costly goods.—
The sudden stagnation of trade in Europe,
owing to the late German war, and recent di
sastrous financial crisis in Europe, lias caused
the failure of a largo number of Jewelry
houses in London and Paris, obliging them to
sell their goods at a great sacrifice, in some
instances less than one-third the cost of man
ufacturing. We have lately purchased very
largely of these Bankrupt Goods, at such ex
tremely low prices that we can afford to send
away finer goods, and give bettor chances to
draw the most, valuable prizes than any other
establishment doing a similar business.—
OUR AIM IS TO PLEASE, and we respect
fully solicit your patronage, as we- are confi
dent of giving the utmost satisfaction. Du
ring the past year we have forwarded a num
ber of the most valuable prizes to all parts of
the country. Those who patronize 11s will re
cc vo the full value of their money, as no ar
ticle on our list is worth less than One Dollar,
retail, and there are no Blanks. Parties deal
ing with us may depend on having prompt
returns, and the article drawn will be imme
diately sent to any address by return mail or
express.
The following parties have recently drawn
valuable prizes from the Merchants' & Manu
facturers’ Jewelry Association, and have kind
ly allowed us to use their names :
