The nighthawk files athwart the sky, and sweeping down the vale, Ps I hear him voice, as years ago, his sad and solemn wail.

My mother! ah, she's gone unto the Father's house on high, The mansion of the faithful ones—the home be- yond the sky. Again it is the Sabbath morn, and down unto my ear Is born the church-bell’s solemn eall, so sweet- ly sad and clear; My pice Bible in my hand, the summons I obey, And up the quiet eountry road I hasten on my Way. 1 e#e the schoo!-house, quaint and old, that nestled in the vale long, low seats, the teacher's desk, the dinted water-pail.

There is shown at the exhibition of plants, at Baltiraore, a specimen of the “toddy” plant, an Eastern pro- duction about eight feet high, from the conservatory of Mr. T. Harrison Garrett. It has grown too large for Mr. Garrett’s house, and he has pre- Sented it to the National Botanic Gar- den, at Washington. A peculiarity of he plant is that during the sap season, yout two months in the year, a quart excellent toddy, with all the intoxi- dng effects of the American mixed ‘ak, can be drawn twice a day and Gyed. When this was known many ries were made as to whether jlant would grow in this latitude Mordinary care. An expert said it ired a warm climate, about the ‘temperature of India, for the tree to Whrive. Several gentlemen were sure money could be saved by growing the plant athome.

Jearepumerenenanne tenner ate AMONG THE HOP-PICKERS. Life in Central New York. Central New York during the latter dsys of August and the greater part of September is an exceedingly inter- esting region to visit. It is here that the yeasty hop is found growing in all its luxuriance, and this is the season of its harvest. Otsego, Madison, Oneida and parts of Shoharie and Montgom- ery counties are the goal cf all hop- pickers. A!l other business in this section is suspended. The rich and poor, old and young, of all sizes and both sexes in the hop districts seek the hop yards, some for health and pleas- ure, more for profit. Both may here be found. No better way of spending @ vacation can be dragged-out and overworked from the cities, if they are willing to eat plain, hearty food and enter into the spirit of their surroundings. The pure air and exercise, with the healthful influ- , ence of the hops, always creates an | almost insatiable appetite and puts new | life into the worn-out body. Notwith- | standing the fact that every one in the country picks hops, thousands are im- ported every year into the hop dis- tricts from the cities and towns along the Mohawk from Albany to Syracuse. The throngs are not composed of the elite of their communities, but make good hop-pickers and make this sea- son answer for an outing at the sea shore or the Adirondacks. Mueh of the romance of the old-fashioned hop- picking is lacking in = yard where these foreign pickers are employed. It is made a business and these people are kept by themselves as much as possible, but in spite of this their pres- ence has a very demoralizing effect upon the youth of the community, owing to the presence of so many dis- reputable women among them. But in many parts of the hop region the old-fashioned hop-picking stil! ex- ists. A hopyard in process of picking isa novel and picturesque sight any where, but among the O sego hills, whose slupes and charming valleys ave every where dotted with the ficlds of hops, the vines clinging to the poles or strings upon which they are trained, the long rows of hops meeting over- head forming graceful arches, some- times the fields covering many acres — the scene is fit for the painter's brush. In those sections where only home pickers are employed the season iy al- ways most enjoyable. The farmers vie with each other to secure the pret- tiest girls in the community to pick for them, and, of course, no trouble is found to find plenty of young men. Society lines are almost forgotten dur- ing hop-picki:.g, and each one, asa rule, appears to enjsy life without reserve. The work is not easy. The pickers are up by dawn and out in the fields at an early hour, where they stand all dey, taking time only for dinner. The hops sre brought to the pickers by what are called box-tenders, who pull the poles and cut up the vines to suit the pickers. In sniteof the hard work all enjoy it. Young men find plenty of time for making love to the fair maidens with whom they are thrown in contact, and many a man has met his fate in the hop yard. The evening moonlight walks and the al- luring influences of his surroundings are more than the average country youth is able to contend with, and some who are not from the country also. The season lasts from two to four weeks, during the most delightful time ofthe year. While every one enjoys the novelty and freedom from re- straint and society restrictions, it is the profit attached to the work that gives it one of its greatest charms. In large yards where foreign pickers are employed the picker’s car fare is paid to the hop fields and the pickers are able to earn from forty cen:s to one dollar a day, according to their abili- ty. They are also boarded, and it is wonderful to note the i: provement that pure air and good food make up- on some of the poor from the Cities who are brought out by the Sowers. Home pickers generally board them- selves and are paid scoordingly. They earn from sixty cents to two dollars a day. All pickers are paid by the box of hops, the price varying in different localities owing to the difference in the size of the boxes. There are now only two sized boxes inuse. In Oneida and Madison the standard box holds seven and one-half bushels, in Otsego and some other sections ten bushels. The price paid per box, with board, was from twenty-five to thirty-five cents, without board from fifty to sixty cents. In the palmy days of hop-growing, be fore hop substitutes and lice had taken the life out of the business, the price was much more.— Glen's Falls (N. ¥.) Cor N. ¥. World. ——__e To Consumptives.
