tears, and filled his sack, And, at dawn, upon his home my only darling turned his back. As he kissed my cheek at parting, he whispered in my ear, “Do not let my Ruth forget me, though I stay away a year.” Our garden's yield was plenteous, and the meadow filled the mow, And Ruth came over twice a day to milk our only cow. The ryRuth came over twice a day to milk our only cow. The rye that Frank had sown sprang up and turned from green to gold, But a stranger's flail, within the barn, its master's absence told. Whilst the hireling reaped the grain, I shudd'ring thought, but held my breath, How busy in Virginia was the sickle keen of Death! Thus the troubled summer sped, our note of time the weekly cheer Of his letters; and we kissed them when they reckoned half a year. Yesterday I heard our boys had crossed the broad Potomac's flow; Ruth was reading of the streams where Babel's weeping willows grow, When a dove perched on the line through which flash before our gate Words of sorrow or of gladness for the people and the State., On tha

Came fleeting so athwart the fire, That shot and shell were stayed. Washington with his sad still face, Franklin with silver hair, Lincoln and Putnam, Allen, Gates, And gallant Wayne were there. ”With those who rose at Boston, At Philadelphia met; Whose grave eyes saw the Union's seal To their first charter set. Adams, and Jay, and Henry, Rutledge and Randolph, too-- And many a name their country's fame Hath sealed brave, wise, and true. ”An awful host — above the coast, About the fort, they bung; Sad faces pale, too proud to wail, But with sore anguish wrung. And Faith and Truth, and Love and Ruth, Hovered the battle o'er, Hind'ring the shot, that freight of death Between those brothers bore. ”And thus it happed, by God's good grace, And those good spirits' band, That Death forbore the leaguer'd place, The battery-guarded strand. Thanks unto Heaven on bended knee, Not scoff from mocking scorn, Befits us, that to bloodless end A strife like this is borne! “ --London Punch

Leave the corn upon the stalks, John, Potatoes on the hill, And the pumpkins on the vines, John-- I'll gather them with a will. But take your gun and go, John, Take your gun and go, For Ruth can drive the oxen, John, And I can use the hoe. I've heard my grandsire tell, John, (He fought at Bunker Hill,) How he counted all his life and wealth His country's offering still. Shall we shame the brave old blood, John, That flowed on Monmouth plain? No! take your gun and go, John, If you ne'er return again. Then take your gun and go, etc. Our army's short of blankets, John, Then take this heavy pair; I spun and wove them when a girl, And worked them with great care. There's a rose in every corner, John, And there's my name you see; On the cold ground they'll warmer feel That they were made by me. Then take you

rofessional bakers in Rome till after the war with King Perseus, more than 580 years after the building of the city. The occupation formerly belonged to the women. They ate their bread moist; it was sometimes kneaded with the must of the grape, with raisin-juice, or with butter for shortening, or with eggs and milk, and often soaked in milk and honey before eating. Vinegar, to soak the bread, was a regular ration with the Roman soldiery. It is much older than that, however: Boaz said unto Ruth, Eat of thy bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. After the conquest of Macedon, 148 B. C., Greek bakers came to Rome and monopolized the business. Loaves of bread, or their pseudomorphs, are found in the excavations of Pompeii, partially buried A. D. 79. Bread was made with yeast by the English bakers in 1634. Was made by machinery in England in 1858. Was artificially inflated with carbonic-acid gas, with which the water of mixing was impregnated, by Dr. Dauglish, in 1859. Aera

x was thrashed by drawing across a comb-like instrument. See Fig. 4341. The practice was, and is, to gather the grain to a spot which is exposed to the wind, and there lay floors of sheaves about a foot thick. As the grain in the sheaf is thrashed, it is heaped in the center of the circular track on which the operation is performed, awaiting a favorable day for winnowing. Barley harvest preceded that of wheat in Egypt and Palestine, and Boaz winnowed barley at his thrashing-floor when Ruth waited upon him. Syrian Mowrej. 1. The thrashing by flails was adopted for the more tender kinds of grain. 2. The drag was a frame of wood shod with iron (or sharp pieces of lava in Palestine); it was sometimes toothed, making it a new, sharp thrashing instrument, having teeth. （Isaiah XLI. 15) This may have resembled the Roman tribulum, which was a sled drawn by oxen. The driver rode upon it. Egyptian Mowrej. 3. The wain was a frame with a number of axles on which were place
