Two Years. 
Two little, happy years, 
Undimmed by doubts and fears, 
And life was gay. 
Joy sprang up in my heart, 
Love felt its pnlses start 
Two years ago to-day. 
A heavenly bliss was mine, 
And love almost divine. 
’Tis passed away. 
O, hope, too much believed! 
O, trusting heart, deceived! 
O, smarting wound received 
Two years ago to-day!

Why They Are Popular. 
Tecumseh, Mich., Sept. 2, 1884. 
Mr. Isaac F. Tillinghast: Dear Sir,—I 
have just been out to see 45 acres of cab¬ 
bage growing from your P. S. seeds. In 
walking through the fields the person that 
owned them remarked that he was so high¬ 
ly pleased with your seeds that he would 
not have any others as a gift, and the crop 
justified his remark; they were so true and 
even that it seemed to me that they would 
all make heads. You can now see the 
reason that lam “enthusiastic.” 
Yours in haste, E. J. Hollister. 
NOTES AND GLEANINGS. 
Have your tomatoes been entirely killed 
by frost? If not you may prolong the season 
of fresh tomatoes for several weeks by pull¬ 
ing the plants and hanging then in some 
light airy place where they will not freeze. 
The green fruits will continue to ripen and 
will be much better than if ripened aftar 
being picked. We placed a lot of ours in 
the green-liouse where they will get light 
and heat and shall have ripe tomatoes for a 
long time yet. On the eve of a? hard frost 
green tomatoes may be protected by pulling 
the vines and piling them up, to be spread 
out again after the weather moderates. 
We know but little about the circum¬ 
stances under which Orange Judd left the 
company in New York which still bears 
his name, and we presume that thousands 
of Agriculturist readers know as little as 
we concerning that event, yet we must say, 
that in our opinion silence would much 
better serve the purposes of its present edi¬ 
tors and publishers than the continual 
flings and jeers which have of late dis¬ 
graced its columns. What, or wherever 
Orange Judd may now be he is the founder 
and builder of the American Agriculturist , 
and that journal should now and forever 
have too much respect for him and honor 
in itself to stoop to petty bickerings and 
sparring at his expense.
