SEED-TIME AH© HARVEST. 
At the late pair of the Pennsylvania 
State Agricultural Society, D. Landreth & 
Sons exhibited nearly one hundred foreign 
varieties of watermelons, cantaloupes, cu¬ 
cumber and squashes, grown by them from 
the countries of southern Europe, Palestine, 
Egypt, Arabia, India, China, Japan and the 
countries of South America. Among so 
large a number of varieties there^ought to 
be those of special excellence, which doubt¬ 
less the firm will find out, and, after 
thoroughly testing, give their seed to cul¬ 
tivators in this country. We look for some 
of them in their next seed catalogue. 
when voice of bird has nearly ceased, my song is 
heard.

(To be read by sound.) 
Christmas had come and gone. All New Year’s day 
A child had spent in feasting and in play, 
And now upon his bed uneasy lay 
A prey 
To sore distress of body and of soul. 
That child was whole. 
And as he lay with agony distressed, 
He dreasmed a last was dancing on his chest, 
While hosts of first were running o’er his breast 
In quest 
Of what he knew not, but he f eared they might 
Attempt to bite.

No. 8. A Riddle. 
Though not of this world I belong to the earth; 
And am always in warfare; always in strife. 
I am found with the soldier in tent or parade, 
And also at home with his children and wife. 
Oft you may find me in quiet and peace, 
But nevQg in fighting and never in broils; 
For little I care for the glories of war; 
I can't live with the victors or share in the spoils.
