One of the A Message for Mamma in HeaYen. "Is this the tel'graph office " Asked a childish voice one day V\ ith Its message from far awav • As It ceased I turned at my elbow Stood the merest scrap of a boy. Whose childish face was all aglow NV ith the light ot a hidden joy. The golden curls on his forehead Shaded eyes of deepest blue, As if a bit of sumtner sky Had lost in them its hue They scanned my outfit rapidly From ceiling down to floor Then turned to me with eager gaze. As he asked the question o'er ' "Is this the tePgraph office " "It is, my little man," I said "pray tell me what you want, Andl'll help you if I can. " Then the blue eyes grew more eager. And the breath came thick and fast. And I saw within the chubby hands A folded paper grasped. "Nurse told me,"' he said, "that the lightn- ing Came down on the wires some day. And my mamma has gone to Heaven, And I'm londy since shei is away For my papa is very busy And hasn't much time for me, •So I thought I'd write her a letter, And I've bror.glit it fo: "I've printed it l)ig so the angels Could read cut nuiek *he And carry it straignt to !r;y majnma " ' And tell her how it ca-.ne And now won't you please to take it, ' And throw it i:p good and strong Against the wiies in a fuuder shower. And the lightning will take it along." Ah what could I tell the darling For mj- ej-es were filling fast I turned away to hide the tears. But I cheerfully spoke at last "I'll do the best I can, my child," 'Twas all that I could say "Thank you," he said, and then scanned the sky "Do you think it will f under to-day " But the blue sky smiled in answer, And the sun shone dazzling bright, And his face, as he slowly turned away. Lost some of its gladsome light "But, nurse," he said, "if I stay so long. Won't let me come any more So good-bye. 111 come and see you again Right after a funder shower. " Plo-wing too Deeply. It is many years ago that Horace Greeley, reasoning tlieoretically on the advantages of mor room forthe roots of plants, took to advocating deeper plowing as the best means to that end. He was strongly controverted at the time by many practical farmers, but never gave in that he was wrong until some New Jersey farmers on the light, sandy soil commbn in pans of that State tried both deep and shallow plowing, and thus practi- cally demonstrated Mr. Greeley's mis.take. Even then the most that the theoretical philosopher cotdd publicly acknowledge was the fact tha-t under some circumstances deep plowing v.-as a lilimder, and that light soils, with only a thin layer of vegetable matter on their surface, seemed to be especially nnadapted to it. r i i Farmers on many other kinds ot lantl have found too deep plowing aii injury to the present crop and to future fertility. The fact is, indeed, becoming generally rec- ognized that on any kind of soil, if deep â-  plowing is to be successful, it must be pre- ceded by clover, and accompanied with a lieavy "ressing of manure of some kind. We have never yet seen a good piece of corn on a timothy sod plowed more than six inches decD. No better test of soil fertility can be found than the corn crop. If the soil is full of clover roots, a plowing of six or even seven inches depth may do no harm, but if there is no clover in the piect, then all below four inches from the surface will be found cold and inert. If turned to the depth of six inches, the bottom two inches will be made the seed bed. A hopeless, worthless planting place it must pix)ve for a crop which more than any other loves not merely light, but warmth and fertility Cultiv-ation, top-dressing with manure, and mixing this with the sou turned up will hnprov-e it to some extent, but not enough to make the vigorous early growth that is needed if corn is to be a goo 1 crop. After midsummer corn roots may reach down to the vegetable mold and richer soil tuined below. But even then this cannot be warn el sufficiently for them to get the same benefit from it that they coulo nearer rit^^SKur'^nra'â„¢' ~i.fr«»i"i:eS-'ri;« closer extend into anl to a certain extent sSr^„JX'"ai=nil.r's; In this cone I- V .~.t* â-  --"-â- .â- â- ^yfc.A JfAP- ' :J -::;p:a.t„ued hours afterward.

In the year 627 the springs were dried_up and men fainted with the heat. In 879 it was impossible to work in the open fields, In the year 993 the buts on the trees were " roasted" a« if in a baker's oven In 1000 the rivers in France dried up and the stench from the 4ead fish and other matter brought a pestilence into the land. The heat in the year 1014 dried up the rivers and the brooks in Alsace-Loraine. The Rhine was dried up in th«i year 1132. In the year 1152 the heat was so great that eggs could be a cooked in the sand. In 1227 it IS recorded that many men and animals came by their death through the intense heat. In the year 1.303 the waters of the Rhine and Danube were partially dried up, and the people passed over on foot. The crops were burned up in the year 1394, and in 1538 the Seini- and the Loire were as dry land. In -1556 a great drotight swept through Europe. In 1614 in ;^nce, and even in Switzerland, the brooks and the ditches were dried up. Not less hot were the years 1646, 1679, and 1701. In the year 1715 from the month of March till October not a drop of rain fell the temperature rose to 38 de- grees Reaumur, and in faiored places the fruit trees blossomed a second time. Ex- traordinarily hot were the year.? 1724, 174G, 1756 and 1811. The summer of 1815 was so iiot that the places of amusement had to be closed. THE S.HITH XEEDLE PACK.ICE Best thing out.
