Were (here no written history—giving us dam sttee;net and credible,—were there no landmarks that arc the yet remaining piers to die old bridge of Time, that stand up like the cromlechs of the primitive Britons, upon which the lights of history are set,— •wer< there none of these things that the anti- quarian might sieze in his methods and through their structure read lh<‘ arcana of the past.—yet the life-breathing of the peo- ple themselves, the spoken tongue of the nation has embalmed in its depositions and outgrowth-’ -ttllicienl fur the unlocking of the entrances to its tributaries, and discov- ering the sources whence they sprang. The history of a nation’s inner life,—so- cial conditions ami revolutions—is best preserved in its linguistic evolution. Books may fail to record facts, but their existence is betrayed in the very language that may he used to deny it. Words arc hut names for manifestations. New manifestations demand new names. The world moves—the kaleidoscope turns, ami the ever-changing scene requires new names and combinations of colors to repres- ent it. New words must be coined or derived, and so embalm within their own organic structure the record of such existence. ^Tax Muller suggests that a history of civilization may most truthfully he sought in, and de- ciphered from,the languages that have been its outgrowth. But little is known of the social life of the races inhabiting the British Isles pre- vious to tin; Roman invasion 51 years be- fore the Christian era. Enough of this common language has been retained to tin lock the secrets of their public life, their legal and thcistic lore. Indeed the early Roman writers have given, in their way, iletailed accounts of what they did and did not see there, but thejiest mirror in which to view that nation which htis passed behind us, is its thought language. It may not he preserved in hooks, it may noteven be consigned to Sibylline leaves, but tomes down to us tossed about on the tongues of those who have thought it the offspring of far different parents, lacking, it maybe, in finish ami harmony of recur- ring jieriods, hut rich in strength ami na- tive lire. “ Words’’ says Bosworth, “ are the creation of mind.” With the faculty of speech, man was endowed with exalted mental powers, and warm social feelings, but the thoughts of his mind and the feel- ings of his heart lay hid within him and could not be communicated, till by the creative power of bis mind, he formed words to express them. As words were formed to convey not only the thoughts of the mind hut the emotions of the heart, they would in the first production of a language, naturally Like that shape which would best represent their mental and physical powers.

At noon Farmer Pritchard came into the house, and they had dinner. After dinner he called 'Tommy to him. “ Tommy,” lie asked, “ did you Like the gum-drops ?” “ No, I didn’t,” said 'Tommy. ‘ Very well, said the farmer, my horse is harnessed. Luev, put the hoy’s cap on. I shall carry him hack to the ppor house, be- cause lie will not tell me the truth.” “ Why, I don’t want to go hack,” said Tommy very soberly. But still he denied taking the gnnidrops. Mr. Pritchard told his wife to get the boy ready. She cried as she brought out his little warm coat ami cap ami put them on him. But Tommy did not cry. He com- prehended that an injustice was done to him. ami he knit his baby brow and held his little lips tight. 'The horse w:is brought round. Mr. Pritchard came in for the hoy. I think he believed up to the last moment that Tommy would confess; hut the little fellow stood steadfast. He w:is lifted into the wagon. Such a Z/7ZZ . hoy he looked, as they drove away. The wind blew cold and he had to hold on to his cap. Nothing was said, as they drove along, though Farmer Pritchard real- ly felt a little sorry that he had gone so far. But he thought, to himself it was best to lie linn at tin? outset. A week at the poor-hous(» would bring 'Pommy to terms. It would he a lesson he would never forget and then they would take him back again. But 'Pommy had no hope to hear him up.

It was not a pleasant ride. II<; mis-ed his little companion : but he reasoned obdurately within himself that he I had done all for the best. His wife met | him tearfully at the door.

The farmer laid a fresh stock of gamdrop< j on his bureaiiat night, ami thought grimly! . that liie.x: were safe, lie retinal early, not knowing what else to do; hut his sleep was broken.

Ami no- body knew how his little heart had ached for the dead mother who, though poor and unfortunate, had sheltered him to tile last.

Farmer Pritchard had a cough, which was apt lo trouble him at night, and on the bureau, near the head of his bed, lie kept a few guindrops, whieli lie could reach out and get, to soothe his throat when tile coughing came on.

His wife and children were with him, expenses were going on every day, and he fell that the little money he had was fast slipping away, and a desperate effort had to be made. All he had left was a 8500 Canada gold note. He saw there was no use trying to get a show in New .York, so as a last resort he went to Brooklyn. Ilooley’s Opera House was then in its prime, and was heavily patronized by the elile of Brooklyn, He went to Mr. lloolcy with his story, told him he was a stranger and asked for one appearance. Mr. Ilooley discouraged him all he could, but advised him to come and see him the next day. Ultli misgiving Burgess went, when Ilooley said he had concluded he could not en- gage in experiment, advised Burgess to leave that section of the country and try somewhere else.

Not far away lived Herr von Koben, a wealthy land owner, whose only son, wlieu not at schopl, was wont to come to the nailer's shop, where he would sit by t he hour and watch the bright sparks as tlicy llew in showers front the ringing anvil. “ ('onto, Mtister Conrad,” said the nailer, one day in a jolly mood ; “ why not set the world an example? Show them that the .-on of a rich man can learn a trade. Who knows what it may profit you one of these days? ” The youth fell in with the humor of the thing, ami pulling oil' his fine jacket, he donned a leather apron, ami went to the anvil. He was a bright, quick lad, and when he had once attempted to make a nail he had a pride to make it well; and so it came to pass that ere long he could make shoe nail as well as could old Kerl. Time passed on, ami Herr von Roden lied, leaving his great wealth to his sou Conrad. A few years thereafter the armies of Frederick came sweeping through Si- lesie, and Conrad’s interitanee was lost. In poverty he wandered away towards the momitains of Bohemia, until he came to a town where a host of shoemakers were at a stand for want of nails. Shoes were in great demand for the soldiers, and a great price was offered for nails. “ Here,” thought Conrad. “ Is my oppor- tunity. Let us sec how my trade will serve me.” And he told the shoemakers if they would help him to a shop and a forge, he would make nails for them. They furnished him what was required, ami lie went at the work in earnest. • He made better nails than had ever before been seen in that sec- tion. He took apprentices,and enlarged his shop, ami in time Von Kohen’s nails were demanded on both sides of the moun- tains.

A dairyman in Western New York has been feediilg his cows in the winter season on Indian meal alone—ami he claims that his cows give more milk than when fed on hay, &c.; and are otherwise benetitted by the. meal feeding. The evidence of his claims were so strong that a committee was appointed by the Western New Yor Dairymen's Association to iuvestiagc the Rise and rejxu-t on it. 1 make the follow iag extract from the report : “The are for size and general appearance about an average lot of native cows ; aver live weight about 900 jiounds. The herd were fed exclusively upon corn meal for 7 (seven) weeks ; each animal, accordin' to its digestive eapieity, making an average of about 3 (three) quarts of meal per day for each cow. During this time the fol lowing points were apparent: The cows cows did not ruminate. They were very quiet; did not evince any inordinate desire for food when hay was shown them ; not so much as is displayed by cows that are fed on hay alone, in the usual way of feed ing, a little less than they will eat. They were much more quiet than cows fed most- ly on meal with a small feeding of hay, say four to five pounds per day. We could not discover any signs of suffering or unrest in any way whatever ; that by comparing their condition at the time of going on to meal with their condition at the time of oing back again to bay, we could not dis- cover that they had either lost or gained in weight of flesh ; that visiting them again after thirteen days on hay, we could not discover anything about them that would denote but that they had been wintered in the usual way.” The committee say that the calves dropped from these cows “ are of more than ordinary size, fleshy, strong, nctive and healthy,” and cite other ad- _1 ri’.speeted :is the founder of his own | vanhigeous features of the case. If fortunes. Ami it all came, as lie was proud 1dozen committees were to rejxjrt that the to tell hiscliildren in the after years, from best way to winter cows is to feed nothinj his having learned a trade in his youth.—' hut Indian meal, I would never do it. It ^.C.,Jr , in N. F. Ledger. ’s unnatural feed when fed alone ; anil it is absurd to suppose that farmers have existed since the world w:is made without finding out the best way to feed cows till the year 187G ! I give the lxqxu’t as made for what it is worth. It shows that cows can subsist seven weeks on corn*meal alone, without any apparent injury; and that is all that it does show that can be consid- ered of importance.

What of it?” “ Its mice, Joseph, and they’re after your guiudrops.” “ Good gracious! Lucy,” groaned Farmer Pritchard upon iiis pillow, ft flashed upon him instantly. He, and not Tommy, was the sinner. Thu noise stopped. The little depredators were frightened, but soon lie- gan. And a rare feast they made of it. It seemed as if that night would never end. The farmer heard every hour tin clock struck, and at live lie got up and made a lire in the kitchen. His wife arose at the same time and began to get breakfast. “ I won t wait for breakfast,” lie said. “ You can have it hot mid ready when wi get back. 111harness up and start now, so as to get over there by dawn.” In a few moments the wheels rolled nois ily over the frozen ground out on the road and away drove Mr. Pritchard in the morn ing starlight. Mrs. Pritchard brought out the top and tile primer again ami made tiie kitchen look its very cheerfulest. Then she breakfast. Shu baked potatoes, and broiled a chicken, anil made fritters. She put the nicest syrup on tiie bible and a plate of jel- ly tarts. She laid Tommy’s plate and knife and fork in their place and setup his chair. The sun had risen and the bright beams fell across the table. She went lo the door and looked up the road. Yes, they were coming! They drove into tiie yard ; they slopped al Hie door; anil the wondering, smiling little Tommy was lift- ed down into Mrs. Prilc’i: r i’s eagorurms. She held him very tight. “ Oil! my blessing! ” she murmured, woman-liko. “ Come, let’s have breakfast now,” said the fanner, cheerfully. “ This little chap’s hungry. He’s our own little boy now, Lu- cy. I te’s never goingaway from ns again.” Wavsihe Wakxixg.—Don’t let tile-treas- ure of this world hazard your prosjieet for the next. Don’t disregard tiie rights of others is trying to exercise what seems to be your own. Don’t get more promises on the market than go current. Don.t preach charity and leave some- bodyelse to practise it. Don’t think it condescension to speak pleasantly to that form beneath those tat- 1 garments. They may, perchance, cover a form as comely, and a heart as honest, as your own, into which might lie reflected a ray of sunshine liy even a pleasant look. Don’t retard the progress of others be- cause you fail to keep pace with them. Don’tdwell too much upon the greatness of your ancestors, lest your hearers think the stock lias sadly degencrated- irder to overcome this, one of the first prill eiples which it would lie desirable lor us to establish is the theory of eoiupleiuentary colors. Although we do not propose to make this a technical paper, perhaps a few remarks upon the subject would not come amiss. \Ve know almost instinctively that blue will not harmonize with green, and that red will, but Hie theory upon which this contrast is based is but vaguely understood. lYe remember learning in our natural philosophy that white is the reflection of all colors, that is, that all the primary colors comb’ned produce it. It is the general impression that there are seven primary colors, viz., those seen in tile rain- bow, whereas in reality there are but three— blue, red. and yellow. Green, oiange, and purple are secondary colors, produced by the primaries. Tims blue and yellow make green; red and yellow produce orange; and blue and red, purple. Tiie mixture of tliese again produces wlial are called tertiary colors—citrine, russet, and olive: orange and green forming cirtine; purple and orange, russet; and green and purple, olive. A know ledge, also, of tiie quantities in whieli these colors harmonize is requisite, the whole system being to eonibino them in the proportions which produce wiiite, which in the primariesareiive of red, three of yellow, and eight of blue; in tile sec- ondaries, thirteen of purple, eleven of green, and eight of orange; and in tiie tertiaries, twenty-four of olive, twenty-one of russet, and nineteen of citrine. A primary color—say, red—juxtaposed to tiie secondary green, which is its com- plementary (being comiiosed of the two remaining primary colors, blue and yellow), arranged in the above proportions, produces the harmony required. It is also a fact that in looking at any color, its complemen- tary is reflected. Tims green reflects red, and when placed in juxtaposition willi it, makes the green greener and the red more intense, whereby richness of effect is produced; and to complete the formula, blue and orange, also yellow and purple are harmonious, for in "caeli case all the, colors producing white when mixed in tile proportions are present. We would here state that when several primary colors are placed together, the contrast is apt to become too violent, producing, we might say, something of a .swimming sensation, if tliese, however, are separated by small nieniliers or lines of white, this dazzling effect may lie obviated. By certain combinations, colors may have an enlivening or depressed cfl’ect. For example, blue'is a cold, quieting color, while red is warm and exciting and they can lie made to affect the mind in any manner desired. Again, proniinenec or subordination may be given by their em- ployment. For instance, blue producos the effect of distance, and if placed upon tlio ceiling, causes it te ap|>enr higher; or if in a recess, will deepen it. Yellow, on tiie contrary, appears to advance toward the The Power of Kindness. “ Are you not afraid,” saida friend to Miss Dix, tlio pliilantliropist, •• to travel over Hie country alone? ” “1 am naturally timid,” she replied, “ and diflident, like all niysex: but, in order to carry out my pur- poses, 1 know that it is necessary to make saeriliees, and encounter dangers. It is true, I have been, in luy travels through the various States, in perilous situations. I will mention one whieli oeeurreil in the State of Michigan. I had hired a carriage and driver to convey me some distance through aft uninhabited portion of the country. In starting, I discovered that tiie driver, a young lad, had a pair of pistols witli him. Inquiring what lie was doing with arms, he said lie carried them to pro- tect ns, as he had heard that robberies hail been committed on our road. I said to him, give me the pistols, I will take care of them. He did so, relunetantly. “ In pursuing our journey through a dis- mal looking forest, a man rushed into the road, caught tiie horses by the bridle, and demanded my purse. I said to him, with as much self-possession ns I could command, “ Are you not [ashamed to rob a woman? 1 have but little money, and I want to defray my expenses in visiting prisons and lioorhouses, and occasionally in giving to objects of charity. If you have been un- fortunate, are in distress, and in want of money, I will give yonsome.” While tlms [leaking to him, I discovered his counte- nance changing, and lie became deathly pale. “ My God,’ he exclaimed, ‘that voice!’ and immediatlv told me lie had been in the Philadelphia penitentiary, and had heard me lecturing to some of tiie prisoners in an adjourning cell, and that lie now recognized my voice. He then desired me lo pass on, and expressed deep sorrow at the outrage hcliad committed. But I drew out my purse, and said to him, I will give you something to support you until you get into honest employment.” lie declined, at first, taking any tiling, until 1 insisted on his doing so, for fear lie might bo tempted to rob some one else before he could get into honest employ ment." Bix ' ks Axn Spem- inc.-Bees.—The spell ing-bee mania lias spread overall England and attacked London, with especial viru- lence. It is related that a young, handsome, and healthy-looking country) young lady, delighted with London, inl'ornied a listless, lisping young man of fashion recently that she really doted on the l ink (another Lon- Ion rage), and thought the sjiclling-bee capital fun. Weally, wcally,” lie responded, elevat- his eyebrows. Then, after a moment's consideration, lie added, “ Both vewy dangerous tilings, you know, vewy.” Dangerous! Oil, I don.t mind a fall in Hie rink, orala igh at my had spelling.” All, yas, yas; 1tliay this to a country young lady, hceautlic, you thee, it is a coun- try danger.” Indeed, how is that?’" Yas, yas, country, liecaus the wink and —er—tiie pulling pee arc only cxeinplilica- slioni of the—er—foot-and-mouth ditli- eailie.”— Eiutoks Di:AWEi:,in Harper's Matjaziucfor June. around tile body (some black with white spots on them), are very docile, small head eyes clear, large, mild and sparkling, horns short: neck small at the head, straight on the back, heavy quarters, short logs, udder large and square, teats stand well apart, hair soft and line. They are Dutch cattle and will match any breed in the world." 11 RX1XG t X'llEE l.I.OVEIi AXIl 111 CKW IIEAT. That there is great fertility in [flowing in a heavy crop of green cloves is known to all good farmers ; hilt tile question is, when ought it to be turned under ? If itbe [flowed in when fust in blossom, the land uaunot he used immediately for any other crop, unless it be for buckwheat, or some other green crop, to be cut for stock, and fed gi ecu. If such crops arc wanted, that system of management would be a good one ; but by cutting tile lirst crop of clover for hay and turning under the second crop the land might be sown with l-ye immedi- ately after being plowed. In order to cover the elover well, a roller should he run over it just before plowing. Xfthe elover should be a heavy crop, the land might be sown to wheat as it requires a better soil for wheat than rye. Buckwheat turned under when in blossom, if sown quite thick, also enrich es land to the value of many times its cost. POULTMY MAXEKK. lien manure is much more value than people generally supposed it to he as a fer. tilizer. It contains phosphoric acid and ni- trogen, with a trace of potash, in quantity to make it worth 26 cunts per bushel, ac- cording to the wholesale commercial value of tliese fertilizers. But, when properly applied to crops, it proves itself to be worth from :>0 to 70 cents per pnshel in tlio increase of crops. In a ease where a bushel of hen manure was applied to corn in the hill, it produced 70. pounds of sound corn in the ear over what the same numlicr of hills ad- joining produced, to whieli no fertilizer w:e applied. But this manure requires to be eoiu[iosted some months before it is used. I begin in May to compost all that has been gathered during tiie winter and spring, kept in barrels and well [lacked down, and cov- ered so that none ot its virtues will escape. 1 lirst spread a layer of soil and then a layer of lien manure, and so on with alter- nate layers, about four times as much soil as manure to each layer. I make the heap flat on tiie top to catch rains, and cover all with coarso hay or stray. In the fail I have tile heap shovelled over, mix- ing it thoroughly, cover again, and leave it till the next spring, when it is in good con- dition to use on any crop. If lien manure lie used before it has time to become incor- porated witli tiie soil with which it i$ mixed it is apt to kill vegetation. For instance, if a hauUful be put in a hill of corn, and mixed with tiie soil, and tile corn be then planted it would be liable to kill the corn when its roots come iu close contact with it; hut when lying a whole season' in a compost heap every part ol the heap becomes equally strong, and tlio original manure is not visi- ble. Fowl houses should Ixi so constructed that the manure can be easily gathered once in two weeks or oftenev. Ifonc has stqicr phosphate, bone dust, or any other com mereial fertilizer, to be used in the hills of crops, it is a good plan to mix such fertil- izers witli the com post heap of hen manure al the time of planting, adding more soil, then graduating the quantity used to a hill by its strength, a handful generally being tlio quantity used, when mixed with four limes the bulk of fertilizers in soil.

CUKliiG CHFESE. Great losses occur in ukcose-making from improper curing. Tlio best authorities in Hie,United States on cheese making give tiie proper temperature for curing cheese, to obtain the liest results as to quality, to he from 70 ° to 75 ° Fahr.; that this temper- ature must be uniform, otherwise fermen- tation may be checked or increased, caus- ing bitterness or an objeetional taint in tlio cheese. Mr. Willard, the best authority in Now York State, says: “ Moisture is an inqiortiint element iu cheese; tliat it should be properly distributed through the solids, and so assimilated as to form one homogen- eous mass, mellow and plastic, giving the eliuusc tiie appenuice of great richness. That at least from 30 to 33 per cent, of mois- ture should lie retained in curing cliccse; that ns we decrease tile pcrecntige of mois- ture from tliis [Mint, tlio percentage of but- ter must be increased to obtain mellowness of texture; that the cliccse is not improved i i taste by this substitution, which is often a serious loss, and this loss may always bo estimated to lie in [iropurtion between tile cost of water and fat. That by proper tcni- [lerature and attention in retaining a right proportion of moisture, the cheese is not only of better llavor and quality, but a sav- ing iu weight of from three to from per cent, is made to tiio producer over the or- dinary methods of curing. That by the use of refrigerator rooms, a cheese may be kept at any desirable [Klint of flavor; and thus liy holding when tile markets are dull, or tiie weather unsuitable for shipping, the in- tervening spaco of time may Iw bridged ov- er by tiie factories without detriment to the flavor or quality of the cheese. That with our present knowledge of cheese making, a certain amount of fat in the milk is need- ed so make a good, palatable cheese, lienee excessive skimming, or a reduction of the fat in milk below one and a half two per cent, is not to bo recommended where the kimmed milk is to be made into cheese, unless other fat be substituted lo supply the delleieney.” FARM MISCELLANY. 1liixxiXG fruit on trees is atteuded with considerable advantage. It secures larger and liner specimens, prevents overbeariu" and injury of the tree. Besides, if you do nut thin your fruit, nature will, by caus- ing a portion of it to drop, and so much en- ergy of growth will lie wasted.) Ax Exgmsii gardener claims te have saved iiis [xitatoes from blight by supply- ing them with mineral fertilizers, contain- ing tiie right proportion of elements fur their growth. His [xitatoes were free from disease, whilo those of other gardeners around him were badly injured. I iiEUE is no profit iu feeding stock that is past its prime. It is waste of feed and money. As soon as any animal begins to fail it should lie disposed of. Old cows, old oxen, old sows, and old hens, form the hulk of the stock U[xin many farms. The young animals are sold off This is the re- of what is wise and profitable. IlixiT 1’rlxixg of the corn crop by cultivation close to tile hills is recom- mended by the Seientilic Farmer. Gutting tiie liMitlets causes them to branch anil tlms more completely occupy the soil and present a larger feeding surface. Of course the application of root pruning should lie made with judgment. The cultivator when run through the Ucldfor the first lime biay lie run pretty close to tiie corn bills. 1lie second lime not quite so near, anti soon foi cadi separate cultivation. The sugges- tion seems to ee a valuable one and worthy if lieing practically tested by our farmers. Gai:i> exs are strikingly benefittod by thorough cultivation. The man who rises ally in the morning and hoes his anion before tile dew is off, stores his round witli increased richness anil causes his plants to shoot upward vigorously. I lie enriching dew is mingled with tiie soil, and its ammonia is retained and the surface is kept light and in the best possi- ble condition for absoiqition of moisture, mil all other substanecs contained in the itiuospherc. A frequently stirred soil will suffer less from draught and less from wet than less thoroughly cultivated soils. In wet seasons cultivation jiromotes the cs- ::i|ie of moisture even in dry seasons, it fa- cilitates the ahsovbtion ol moisture from the air. I mincing Fruitfulness iu Apple Trees IV. B., in tiie F armer of May 27th, says lie has some apple treuts set fifteen years go whieli have grown fast, hut have never lioine fruit”—and inquires tile reason. Pro- bably his trees are making too much wood, and if lie slioulil give them a thorough trim- ming now, they would yield fruit 'another season. If the trees are inclined to run up tall, the tops of the branches should be cut off or “ shortened in." 1 have iiail the same cx[icrienee with non-bearing treet as W. B lias, ami another method when I adopted with success, was to tie a small cord around a limb so as to partially stop tile flow of sap or to hang a weight to an upright limb caus- ing tiie limb to lieud over, or tying it down to a lower, both iiictliotld will in a moas- lire impede the flow of sap, and cause the limb to develop blossom buds for the next season. On a tree which yielded fruit, alter- nate years only, I have caused one limb as an oxjxiriment, to bear fruit every year by liending and tying down the limb one year and tying it up after the fruit had formed. If tiie reader does not eredit tile statement he will he convinced of the fact by trying tile same experiment- which can be done with slight labor. I learned this fact trout- tying up branches of apple trees to prevent them from breaking down when burdened with fruit. Iron for Fruit Trees. Nails driven into fruit trees, as near tiie ground as possible, are said to have the ef- fect of makng such trees more healthy, vig- orous and excellent than those into whieli no nails have been driven. Tiie reason why nails are so beneficial is thus explained: The worm will not attack the tree because the oxydation or rusting of the iron by tiie sap evolves ammonia, which, as the gap rises, will of course impregnate every part of the foliage and prove too drastic a dase for the delicate palates of intruding insects. The salt of iron afforded by nail, is” xtreme- ly offensive to (he worms, while it is not - ly harmless but beneficial to the folia"e 1 fruit of the tree. Tiie call lor a cure for tiie current worm brings out the following; “There are many receipts for getting rid of the current worm, but there is nothing so sure in ils results, as to blindfold him aud back him under a pile driver. Few persons practice pruning cucumber, melon and other similar kinds of vines; ssill it is just as beneficial if properly done, as tlio annual prunings of the grape and other woody plants. The pruning should be confined, however, to the pinching off of the ends of shoots only. When pale beans reach- the top of tiie poles, they should be pinched. Busli sorts may bo planted yet, and produce a good crop. Ground where early beans have lieen, may he planted with quick-growing crops.

National life—the life-growth of a people—hears a striking analogy to that oflhe plant This is demonstrated in the rise and progress of (lie English-speaking people, those wholook toward (lie Rritish cluster, as th« brightest gem in the crown of their ancestral pride. Were (here no written history—giving us dam sttee;net and credible,—were there no landmarks that arc the yet remaining piers to die old bridge of Time, that stand up like the cromlechs of the primitive Britons, upon which the lights of history are set,—

•wer< there none of these things that the anti­quarian might sieze in his methods and through their structure read lh<‘ arcana of the past.—yet the life-breathing of the peo­ple themselves, the spoken tongue of the nation has embalmed in its depositions and outgrowth-’ -ttllicienl fur the unlocking of the entrances to its tributaries, and discov­ering the sources whence they sprang.

The history of a nation’s inner life,—so­cial conditions ami revolutions—is best preserved in its linguistic evolution. Books may fail to record facts, but their existence is betrayed in the very language that may he used to deny it.

Words arc hut names for manifestations. New manifestations demand new names. The world moves—the kaleidoscope turns, ami the ever-changing scene requires new names and combinations of colors to repres­ent it.

New words must be coined or derived, and so embalm within their own organic structure the record of such existence. ^Tax Muller suggests that a history of civilization may most truthfully he sought in, and de­ciphered from,the languages that have been its outgrowth.

But little is known of the social life of the races inhabiting the British Isles pre­vious to tin; Roman invasion 51 years be­fore the Christian era. Enough of this common language has been retained to t in

lock the secrets of their public life, their legal and thcistic lore. Indeed the early Roman writers have given, in their way, iletailed accounts of what they did and did not see there, but th e jie s t mirror in which to view that nation which htis passed behind us, is its thought language.

It may not he preserved in hooks, it may noteven be consigned to Sibylline leaves, but tomes down to us tossed about on the

tongues of those who have thought it the offspring of far different parents, lacking, it maybe, in finish ami harmony of recur­ring jieriods, hut rich in strength ami na­tive lire. “ Words’’ says Bosworth, “ are the creation of mind.” With the faculty of speech, man was endowed with exalted mental powers, and warm social feelings, but the thoughts of his mind and the feel­ings of his heart lay hid within him and could not be communicated, till by the creative power of bis mind, he formed words to express them. As words were formed to convey not only the thoughts of the mind hut the emotions of the heart, they would in the first production of a language, naturally Like that shape which would best represent their mental and physical powers. 'Those sounds would be selected which were adapted to the frame

At noon Farmer Pritchard came into the house, and they had dinner. After dinner he called 'Tommy to him.

“ Tommy,” lie asked, “ did you Like the gum-drops ?”

“ No, I didn’t,” said 'Tommy.‘ Very well, said the farmer, my horse is

harnessed. Luev, put the hoy’s cap on. I shall carry him hack to the ppor house, be­cause lie will not tell me the truth.”

“ Why, I don’t want to go hack,” said Tommy very soberly.

But still he denied taking the gnnidrops. Mr. Pritchard told his wife to get the boy ready. She cried as she brought out his little warm coat ami cap ami put them on him. But Tommy did not cry. He com­prehended that an injustice was done to him. ami he knit his baby brow and held his little lips tight. 'The horse w:is brought round. Mr. Pritchard came in for the hoy. I think he believed up to the last moment that Tommy would confess; hut the little fellow stood steadfast.

He w:is lifted into the wagon. Such a Z/7ZZ. hoy he looked, as they drove away. The wind blew cold and he had to hold on to his cap. Nothing was said, as they drove along, though Farmer Pritchard real­ly felt a little sorry that he had gone so far. But he thought, to himself it was best to lie linn at tin? outset. A week at the poor-hous(» would bring 'Pommy to terms.It would he a lesson he would never forget and then they would take him back again.

But 'Pommy had no hope to hear him up. He only knew that all the happy life of the past few days was over; snatched from him suddenly.

Not far away lived Herr von Koben, a wealthy land owner, whose only son, wlieu not at schopl, was wont to come to the nailer's shop, where he would sit by t he hour and watch the bright sparks as tlicy llew in showers front the ringing anvil.

“ ( 'onto, Mtister Conrad,” said the nailer, one day in a jolly mood ; “ why not set the world an example? Show them that the .-on of a rich man can learn a trade. Who knows what it may profit you one of these days? ”

The youth fell in with the humor of the thing, ami pulling oil' his fine jacket, he donned a leather apron, ami went to the anvil. He was a bright, quick lad, and when he had once attempted to make a nail he had a pride to make it well; and so it came to pass that ere long he could make shoe nail as well as could old Kerl.

Time passed on, ami Herr von Roden lied, leaving his great wealth to his sou Conrad. A few years thereafter the armies of Frederick came sweeping through Si- lesie, and Conrad’s interitanee was lost. In poverty he wandered away towards the momitains of Bohemia, until he came to a town where a host of shoemakers were at a stand for want of nails.

A dairyman in Western New York has been feediilg his cows in the winter season on Indian meal alone—ami he claims that his cows give more milk than when fed on hay, &c.; and are otherwise benetitted by the. meal feeding. The evidence of his claims were so strong that a committee was appointed by the Western New Yor Dairymen's Association to iuvestiagc the Rise and rejxu-t on it. 1 make the follow iag extract from the report : “ The are for size and general appearance about an average lot of native cows ; aver live weight about 900 jiounds. The herd were fed exclusively upon corn meal for 7 (seven) weeks ; each animal, accordin' to its digestive eapieity, making an average of about 3 (three) quarts of meal per day for each cow. During this time the fol lowing points were apparent: The cows cows did not ruminate. They were very quiet; did not evince any inordinate desire for food when hay was shown them ; not so much as is displayed by cows that are fed on hay alone, in the usual way of feed ing, a little less than they will eat. They were much more quiet than cows fed most­ly on meal with a small feeding of hay, say four to five pounds per day. We could not discover any signs of suffering or unrest in any way whatever ; that by comparing their condition at the time of going on to meal with their condition at the time of

oing back again to bay, we could not dis­cover that they had either lost or gained in weight of flesh ; that visiting them again after thirteen days on hay, we could not discover anything about them that would denote but that they had been wintered in the usual way.” The committee say that the calves dropped from these cows “ are of more than ordinary size, fleshy, strong, nctive and healthy,” and cite other ad-

Don’tdwell too much upon the greatness of your ancestors, lest your hearers think the stock lias sadly degencrated-

irder to overcome this, one of the first prill eiples which it would lie desirable lor us to establish is the theory of eoiupleiuentary colors. Although we do not propose to make this a technical paper, perhaps a few remarks upon the subject would not come amiss. \Ve know almost instinctively that blue will not harmonize with green, and that red will, but Hie theory upon which this contrast is based is but vaguely understood. lYe remember learning in our natural philosophy that white is the reflection of all colors, that is, that all the primary colors comb’ned produce it. It is the general impression that there are seven primary colors, viz., those seen in tile rain­bow, whereas in reality there are but three— blue, red. and yellow.

Green, oiange, and purple are secondary colors, produced by the primaries. Tims blue and yellow make green; red and yellow produce orange; and blue and red, purple.

Tiie mixture of tliese again produces wlial are called tertiary colors—citrine, russet, and olive: orange and green forming cirtine; purple and orange, russet; and green and purple, olive.

A know ledge, also, of tiie quantities in whieli these colors harmonize is requisite, the whole system being to eonibino them in the proportions which produce wiiite, w hich in the primariesareiive of red, three of yellow, and eight of blue; in tile sec­ondaries, thirteen of purple, eleven of green, and eight of orange; and in tiie tertiaries, twenty-four of olive, twenty-one of russet, and nineteen of citrine.

A primary color—say, red—juxtaposed to tiie secondary green, which is its com­plementary (being comiiosed of the two remaining primary colors, blue and yellow), arranged in the above proportions, produces the harmony required. It is also a fact that in looking at any color, its complemen­tary is reflected. Tims green reflects red, and when placed in juxtaposition willi it, makes the green greener and the red more intense, whereby richness of effect is produced; and to complete the formula, blue and orange, also yellow and purple are harmonious, for in "caeli case all the, colors producing white when mixed in tile proportions are present.

We would here state that when several primary colors are placed together, the contrast is apt to become too violent, producing, we might say, something of a .swimming sensation, if tliese, however, are separated by small nieniliers or lines of white, this dazzling effect may lie obviated.

By certain combinations, colors may have an enlivening or depressed cfl’ect. For example, blue'is a cold, quieting color, while red is warm and exciting and they can lie made to affect the mind in any manner desired. Again, proniinenec or subordination may be given by their em­ployment. For instance, blue producos the effect of distance, and if placed upon tlio ceiling, causes it te ap|>enr higher; or if in a recess, will deepen it. Yellow, on tiie contrary, appears to advance toward the

Xfthe elover should be a heavy crop, the land might be sown to wheat as it requires a better soil for wheat than rye. Buckwheat turned under when in blossom, if sown quite thick, also enrich es land to the value of many times its cost.

lien manure is much more value than people generally supposed it to he as a fer. tilizer. It contains phosphoric acid and ni­trogen, with a trace of potash, in quantity to make it worth 26 cunts per bushel, ac­cording to the wholesale commercial value of tliese fertilizers. But, when properly applied to crops, it proves itself to be worth from :>0 to 70 cents per pnshel in tlio increase of crops. In a ease where a bushel of hen manure was applied to corn in the hill, it produced 70. pounds of sound corn in the ear over what the same numlicr of hills ad­joining produced, to whieli no fertilizer w:e applied. But this manure requires to be eoiu[iosted some months before it is used. I begin in May to compost all that has been gathered during tiie winter and spring, kept in barrels and well [lacked down, and cov­ered so that none ot its virtues will escape.1 lirst spread a layer of soil and then a layer of lien manure, and so on with alter­nate layers, about four times as much soil as manure to each layer. I make the heap flat on tiie top to catch rains, and cover all with coarso hay or stray. In the fail I have tile heap shovelled over, mix­ing it thoroughly, cover again, and leave it till the next spring, when it is in good con­dition to use on any crop. If lien manure lie used before it has time to become incor­porated witli tiie soil with which it i$ mixed it is apt to kill vegetation. For instance, if a hauUful be put in a hill of corn, and mixed with tiie soil, and tile corn be then planted it would be liable to kill the corn when its roots come iu close contact with it; hut when lying a whole season' in a compost heap every part ol the heap becomes equally strong, and tlio original manure is not visi­ble. Fowl houses should Ixi so constructed that the manure can be easily gathered once in two weeks or oftenev. Ifonc has stqicr phosphate, bone dust, or any other com mereial fertilizer, to be used in the hills of crops, it is a good plan to mix such fertil­izers witli the com post heap of hen manure al the time of planting, adding more soil, then graduating the quantity used to a hill by its strength, a handful generally being tlio quantity used, when mixed with four limes the bulk of fertilizers in soil.

Great losses occur in ukcose-making from improper curing. Tlio best authorities in Hie,United States on cheese making give tiie proper temperature for curing cheese, to obtain the liest results as to quality, to he from 70 ° to 75 ° Fahr.; that this temper­ature must be uniform, otherwise fermen­tation may be checked or increased, caus­ing bitterness or an objeetional taint in tlio cheese. Mr. Willard, the best authority in Now York State, says: “ Moisture is an inqiortiint element iu cheese; tliat it should be properly distributed through the solids, and so assimilated as to form one homogen­eous mass, mellow and plastic, giving the eliuusc tiie appenuice of great richness. That at least from 30 to 33 per cent, of mois­ture should lie retained in curing cliccse; that ns we decrease tile pcrecntige of mois­ture from tliis [Mint, tlio percentage of but­ter must be increased to obtain mellowness of texture; that the cliccse is not improved i i taste by this substitution, which is often a serious loss, and this loss may always bo estimated to lie in [iropurtion between tile cost of water and fat. That by proper tcni- [lerature and attention in retaining a right proportion of moisture, the cheese is not only of better llavor and quality, but a sav­ing iu weight of from three to from per cent, is made to tiio producer over the or­dinary methods of curing. That by the use of refrigerator rooms, a cheese may be kept at any desirable [Klint of flavor; and thus liy holding when tile markets are dull, or tiie weather unsuitable for shipping, the in­tervening spaco of time may Iw bridged ov­er by tiie factories without detriment to the flavor or quality of the cheese. That with our present knowledge of cheese making, a certain amount of fat in the milk is need­ed so make a good, palatable cheese, lienee excessive skimming, or a reduction of the fat in milk below one and a half two per cent, is not to bo recommended where the kimmed milk is to be made into cheese,

unless other fat be substituted lo supply the delleieney.”

FA R M M ISCELLANY.1 liixxiXG fruit on trees is atteuded with

considerable advantage. It secures larger and liner specimens, prevents overbeariu" and injury of the tree. Besides, if you do nut thin your fruit, nature will, by caus­ing a portion of it to drop, and so much en­ergy of growth will lie wasted.)

I iiEUE is no profit iu feeding stock that is past its prime. It is waste of feed and money. As soon as any animal begins to fail it should lie disposed of. Old cows, old oxen, old sows, and old hens, form the hulk of the stock U[xin many farms. The young animals are sold off This is the re-

of what is wise and profitable.IlixiT 1’rlxixg of the corn crop by

cultivation close to tile hills is recom­mended by the Seientilic Farmer. Gutting tiie liMitlets causes them to branch anil tlms more completely occupy the soil and present a larger feeding surface. Of course the application of root pruning should lie made with judgment. The cultivator when run through the Ucldfor the first lime biay lie run pretty close to tiie corn bills. 1 lie second lime not quite so near, anti soon foi cadi separate cultivation. The sugges­tion seems to ee a valuable one and worthy if lieing practically tested by our farmers.

Gai:i>exs are strikingly benefittod by thorough cultivation. The man who rises ally in the morning and hoes his anion before tile dew is off, stores his round witli increased richness anil causes

his plants to shoot upward vigorously.I lie enriching dew is mingled with tiie soil, and its ammonia is retained and the surface is kept light and in the best possi­ble condition for absoiqition of moisture, mil all other substanecs contained in the itiuospherc. A frequently stirred soil will suffer less from draught and less from wet than less thoroughly cultivated soils. In wet seasons cultivation jiromotes the cs- ::i|ie of moisture even in dry seasons, it fa­cilitates the ahsovbtion ol moisture from

the air.

I m incing F ruitfulness iu A pple Trees

IV. B., in tiie Farmer of May 27th, says lie has some apple treuts set fifteen years

go whieli have grown fast, hut have never lioine fruit”—and inquires tile reason. Pro­bably his trees are making too much wood, and if lie slioulil give them a thorough trim­ming now, they would yield fruit 'another season. If the trees are inclined to run up tall, the tops of the branches should be cut off or “ shortened in." 1 have iiail the same cx[icrienee with non-bearing treet as W. B lias, ami another method when I adopted with success, was to tie a small cord around a limb so as to partially stop tile flow of sap or to hang a weight to an upright limb caus­ing tiie limb to lieud over, or tying it down to a lower, both iiictliotld will in a moas- lire impede the flow of sap, and cause the limb to develop blossom buds for the next season. On a tree which yielded fruit, alter­nate years only, I have caused one limb as an oxjxiriment, to bear fruit every year by liending and tying down the limb one year and tying it up after the fruit had formed. If tiie reader does not eredit tile statement he will he convinced of the fact by trying tile same experiment- which can be done with slight labor. I learned this fact trout- tying up branches of apple trees to prevent them from breaking down when burdened with fruit.

Iron for Fruit Trees.

Nails driven into fruit trees, as near tiie ground as possible, are said to have the ef­fect of makng such trees more healthy, vig­orous and excellent than those into whieli no nails have been driven. Tiie reason why nails are so beneficial is thus explained: The worm will not attack the tree because the oxydation or rusting of the iron by tiie sap evolves ammonia, which, as the gap rises, will of course impregnate every part of the foliage and prove too drastic a dase for the delicate palates of intruding insects. The salt of iron afforded by nail, is” xtreme- ly offensive to (he worms, while it is not - ly harmless but beneficial to the folia"e

1 fruit of the tree.

Tiie call lor a cure for tiie current worm brings out the following; “There are many receipts for getting rid of the current worm, but there is nothing so sure in ils results, as to blindfold him aud back him under a pile driver.

Few persons practice pruning cucumber, melon and other similar kinds of vines; ssill it is just as beneficial if properly done, as tlio annual prunings of the grape and other woody plants. The pruning should be confined, however, to the pinching off of the ends of shoots only.

When pale beans reach- the top of tiie poles, they should be pinched. Busli sorts may bo planted yet, and produce a good crop. Ground where early beans have lieen, may he planted with quick-growing crops.

T h e R esu lt a t C iueinuati.We delayed our paper till a late hour

last Thursday afternoon. in the hope of liv­ing able to announce the Cincinnati nominn tioas, buf when we went to press it was np|tarent that no balloting would take place till the foliowingilny. Between one and two o’clock on Friday, the result of the first lial lot was made public here, and from two to six 'o'clock (at which latter hour the seventh ballot was received,) there was a considerable gathering of citizens, anxious to hear the news, at the telegraph oflicc, along the street in the vicinity, and about the bulletins posted in front of the Gazelle oflicc. The first ballot showed that Blaine’s friends knew their strength pretty well and that his vote was well up to the most that had lieen claimed for him on the first ballot. The.second ballot showed that bis supporters stood firm and hail gained a few votes, but the third revealed a slight fall ing off. and dampened the ho]>cs of m .tn v

who had cxjiecled to sec the vote of Benn sylvania in great part transferred to Blaine with material gains from other States tin the fith ballot, when Blaine had fallen 11 287 an 1 llaycs jumped from CS to 1-02, the fears for th e chances of Maine's favorite candidate were increase,1 and all indica­tion given of the probable “ coming mall.” When the sixth ballot showed Blaine’s vote advneed to 308, however, the hopes of llie crowd rose again ami they waited anxiously for th e 7tll ballot, with strong hope (bat their favorite would win. Therefore, when the seventh ballot showed that Gen. Hayes hail received 884 votes, the result was received with great disap­pointment. Tliis was overcome, however, ami cordial approval of the character and ab ility o f th e n o m in ee of the convention was expressed .

An order was also adopted au­thorizing the issue of subpoenas for wit­nesses desired by the respondent, and a committee of three appointed to decide the expenses of those to be paid by the United States, the others only to receive lawful fees from the respondent. In the House, Mr. Cox was re-elected Speaker pro tern, and the army appropriation hill was passed. The House then proceeded to the considera­tion of the bill authorizing the repavement of Pennsylvania avenue, which was passed with a resolution favoring a joint com­mission of residents and non-residents to recommend a practicable form of govern­ment for the District. A long debate oc­curred on the joint resolution concerning fireworks tor July 4th, but there was no quorum on the vote, and, after appointing a conference committee on the post-ofilce appropriation bill, the House adjourned.

In the Senate, Tuesday, June 20th, arc- ,mu1 was received from the Secretary of the Treasury, giving the names of all officials who owe. or have owed balances to tho government.

The House hill, repealing the liankrupt law, was post|xmcd until the first day of next session. The Indian ap­propriation hill was then considered, and the additional amounts, proposed by the Senate committee, amounting to $998,096.35 and making the total appropriation $5,088,- 209.18, were nearly all agreed to.

The work of the convention was com­pleted by the nomination of Wm. A. Wheeler of N ew York as Vice President. The nominations thus presented to the country have lieen received with general approval, and though they may not present die most brilliant and best-known names in the party, they give the people an able, honest and elean ticket.

.'been treated, and alluding to the jx*rils that have menaced it from the discontent ami distrust that had grown up within its own ranks, says:—

“ The nomination of Il.iyes and .Wheeler was not onfy a surprise hut a deliverance. The contestants all yield gracefully and at once to one who had excited no animosity. 'The Republican party presents to the coun­try candidates that cannot fail to win con­fidence.’ 'They are (tersonally irreproacha­ble—not because unknown . but liecuusc, af­ter years of public service, they have estab­lished a reputation for prudent management for honorable fidelity, and for scruplous in­tegrity. The jMu sonal question is removed from the contest.. 'The whole public can­vass must now concern itself with the ques­tions of public interest; ami it is to be hoped that that, continent of mud throught which we seemed likely to wade for months lon­ger, as we have waded for monlhL past, will dry np. The investigating committees will now languish, and the stores of villainous detraction that have been preparing will he abandoned to the sewers.

We cannot perceive any just reason why all honest men who have fought under the Republican lianner should not return Di their allegiance. They will.

E y Now that Mr. Blaine is not to ire a candidate for tlie Presidency in tlie present campaign, tho question arises for himself aud his constituents as to what depu'tment of the public service shall require his ser-

We are decidedly of tlie opinion lliat tlie station for Mr. Blaine,nt tliis time, is in the place lie so ably (ills on tlie floor of tlie House. We think lie is needed most where lie is, and we hope to see the jieople o ff the third District put this into the most emphatic form and induce Mr. Blaine to allow tliem to return him to Congress at tlie ensuing election.

Many Bej ublieans bold tliis opinion and we find Henry Ward Beecher expressing it in the present week’s Christian Union in tlie following paragraph:—

*• We hope Mr. Blaine will not only give to the ticket his energy in the field, lint that he will refuse nil overtures to tlie Senate and remain in the House, to he the ablest Commoner of recent history; and that those eminent abilities wliicli have created for him such general enthusiasm may in due lime lie exerted in a more exalted position, if there lie a place intrinsically higher than to Imj tlie great leader of tlie House!”

A fire broke out last Friday in the exten­sive carpet manufactory and woolen works at Ayr, Scotland, belonging to James Tem­pleton. The lire was caused by friction in the machinery, and spread to all parts of the building where the operatives were at work. I t is believed that all the men but one escaped.

3 T We expressed approval of Recorder Lit­tlefield last week, for imposiug the penalty of im­prisonment instead of the alternative fine. The course of Judge Hall and of the Recorder in imposing sentences of imprisonment ought to be fully sustained, for we believe this is the way to strike effectually at the rum traffic. Several cases (including two at least of the parties sentenced ast week) went up to last court on appeal, where

imprisonment was imposed by Judge Hall. We regret, too, that the sitting judge, in conversation with Judge Hall, deprecated his action imposing these sentences, partly on the ground tha t more difficulty was made in tho enforcement of the law and that it was better to recover the fines for the county. But we dissent. This is not a matter of J dollars and cents and we call upon the connty at­torney to do his duty in securing the punishment of these ofiendors and sustaining the ju st judg­ment of the lower court.

j y Our readers interested in the drama should1 not fail to notice the appearance here next week of the eminent American actor Mr. Joseph Proctor, in his great character of “ the Jibben- ainosay,” supported by Miss Fanny Marsh and the Portland Museum Company. This affords an opportunity for witnessing a first-class dramatic performance not often ’presented, and we hope it will be appreciated. Mr. Proctor’s fame should be sufficient to fill the house, and the Portland Museum Co. have a reputation at home which should secure them a cordial reception here.

JG P * A few days ago Officers Spear and Ul­mer were on Commercial Wharf, when they ob­served a boat approaching, rowed by one man The officers were not watching for him and paid no particular attention to him, but as soon as he I caught sight of them, he put about and began to pull away. Noticing this, they a t once concluded he had contraband liquor on board, and procur­ing a boat they gave chase to him. The fellow pulled for dear life ami the officers pursued him till they lost him in the fog, when they gave up the chase. Wc learn that he returned at night and after hiding his keg under a wharf, was so exhausted that he fell down, completely tired out, in a kiln-shed. His hands were blistered and he had had a very hard time of it.

We mentioned last week that one Fred. Grant was arraigned before the Police Court on a charge of robbing James Butler, at the house of Clementina Ward, alias Flye, on Wednesday

ight of last week and was discharged for want of evidence. Since that time the officers have kept their ears open to get a clew to the facts. On Monday Marshal Low obtained information which indicated that Grant ami Mrs. Ward, alias Flye,- had committed the robbery, ami nl<n that Grant had a pistol in his possession at the time of hi: arrest. Search was inivlc for the pistol by the Marshal and Sheriff Torrey, and it was fohml lown the Lockup sink-spout. Having learned also that the Ward woman was going to Boston, on the Katahdin,Monday night, the Marshal with Sheriff’ Torrey, went to the wharf ami fournl her. *ihe nt first denied having any money that wa.‘ not her own, but finally they took her into casto- ly ami she then gave up to the officers two bills and one $20 bill. Coming up from the wharf, the Marshal urged her that her best course would be to tell the whole truth, whereupon she assented ami made a confession of the whole matter. Officers Spear, Ulmer and Croikctt, with Sheriff Torrey, then started to arrest Grant, am found and took him into custody.

Grant was again arraigned before the Police Court on Tuesday, when tlie case was adjourned till yesterday, when the trial took place. The suit was that Grant was bound over in the sum of

'»00 for appearance at the Sept, term of Court and the Ward woman, who had testified to the facts, was held in $300 as a witness. The fact: as testified to are substantially as follows : Grant came into the house on the \\ ednesday cveuinj in question and said Butler (who is an old man was at Sam Adams’s (which was near by) am proposed that they should get him iuto the hou aud obtain his money. To this the woman as­sented and induced Butler to come in. He want- ec some liquor and they sent out and got some, at his expense, and the woman entertained him am when lie had well drunken, tried to persuade him to go to bed, with the intent of taking his money from his clothing. Butler was disinclined to this, but laydown ou thd bed with his hoots on. The woman endeavored to get him to sleep and lay down on the bed beside him, aud when she thought him asleep, put her hand in his pocket, and took out his wallet, which she dropped on the floor beside the bed. Butler caught the woman' hand and demanded his wallet Grant came in,and we believe Adain?,and the woman was pulled away from Butler; Grant it appears, getting the walletAfterward, the same night, Grant and the Ward w o m a n w oro n t A d a m s’s a m i here Grant gave $10 to Sara Adams, $20 to “ Nctiie Adamj alias Garland, ami $20 to “ Clem.” The worn an 's story is that the sum stolen from Butler was al>out $180, which is probably correct. The rest of the money was pnt in a tin l»ox that night ami buried. Subsequently a small portion of it was spent for provisions, etc., but they did not dare to spend the $50 bills here and the Ward woman was to go to Boston and get them changed for small hills. Ilow her mission was interrupted we have seen. Grant was commuted to jail to-day, in default of bail.

The Reform Club meeting on Sunday was fully attended and uuusually interesting. Several of our citizens took part. Au elderly gentleman, a native of this town, but long a resident of unoth-

section of the State, said that in his earlier days he had been addicted to drinking hubit:» but that lie was induced, in 1841, to join the Washingtonians, and that he hail never violated the pledge which he then took, and that his tak­ing it was the best act of his life. Towards the close of the meeting, Lieut. Eaton was called on. He responded with earnest and forcible remarks, which while in the main laudatory of the work­ing of the Club, included a criticism which pro ’, voked a somewhat lively, though we think healthy discussion. The Club has received an invitation to participate in the celebration of the Fourth at Mt. Pleasant, upon which they will probable act at their meeting next week. A partial programme for the celebration is out. T. R. Simonton, Esq., of Camden, is to deliver the oration. Rev. Mr. Goodrich is to open the services with prayer, and

maids were all strangers to Thomaston society, i Calvin Bickford, Esq., is to give a historical sketch and it seemed as if each vicil with the other to do | of the town. There will also be addresses by

only properly be done by the municipal authori­ties or by a citizens’ committee properly constitu­ted. If so much indifference had not been shown, we should still hope this feature might not be wanting. Since the above was in type we learn the Tiger Engine Co. has voted to accept the invitation giveu. The programme will he issued Friday afternoon.

Thom aston.Htmexial.—On Tuesday morning last a large

party of their many- friends and acquaintances assembled at the Congregational church to witness the marriage ceremony of C. Sidney Smith and Miss Emma Creighton. For quite a time this wedding hail been the popular topic of conversa­tion, ami the very happy manner in which’ i passed off was only what had been expected. W» have never before seen the ladies of Thomaston so degantly dressed ns they were on Tuesday morn-

Thc church was tastely decorated. At the head of the broad aisle was placed an evergreen arch, with the monogram S C prettily arranged overhead. At ten o’clock the bridal party entered the church, accompanied by f»ur bri lesmni Is and groomsmen. We have not space to speak of the bride ami her maids separately, but the anticipa­tions ot none were disappointed. The brides-

2ST Singhi’s Band went on an excursion to Castine last Friday, according to announcement. Owing to the unfavorable weather in the morning the excursion did not start till considerably later than the advertised hour, and tho company was much smaller than it would have been had the morning been pleasant. About 200 participated

the excursion and enjoyed the day very pleas­antly. The boat arrived at Castine a little after 1 P. M., and the company disposed themselves as suited their several inclinations, but most of them gathered a t the base ball grounds to witnes: game hetweeu the Knox Club of Thomaston and Dirigos of this city. The boat left Castine at about Gaud arrived here at about half-past eight. Tlie proceeds of the excursion only about covered the expenses, hut we hope the Band will have “ better luck next time.”

The game of base ball above mentioned was a very interesting one and was played for the championship of Knox County and a prize bat» as mentioned last week. The game was won by the Dirigos, by a score of 21 to 7. The follow­ing is the score:

Rev. G. P. Matthews and wife, Capt. Harris Stackpole and wife, anil Miss E. A. Gushec are delegates to the Baptist State Convention, now be­ing held at Hallowell.

Mortuary.—On Friday the 16th inst.Joel W. Harrington, who has been a resilient of Thomasion for over forty-live years, and who was esteemed and respectetl by all the citizens of this town, died at his residence at almut noon time of that day. Mr. Harrington had been well until a week previously at which time he had an attack of apoplexy, from which he appeared to be re­covering, but on the day of his death, soon after taking a little nourishment, he was suddenly seized with pain, and passed quickly away, al­most before the neighbors or physician could be summoned. Mr. Harrington came to this town in 1831, iu company with his brother Theron, and engaged in the hat business, under the name and style of the firm of J . W. & T. W. Harrington. His brother left in a number of years for Damar­iscotta, but Joel continued iu the same Hue of trade until the day of his death, He was a kind, genial, honest and enthusiastic man, a devotee to music, a teacher of vocal music, and a leader of church choirs for over fifty years. He taught a singing school last winter, a t the earnest solicita­tion of his friends, and he made good work in thoroughly teaching and instructing his school. No man wfll be more missed in the social circle, in the every day walk of life, with a cheerful word and kind greeting for every one, both young and eld, than Joel W. Harrington. He will also be missed in the church choir; in the social meet­ings of the church; aud among the church aud society of the Baptist Church of which he was a firm anti earnest supporter. Mr. Harrington leaves an invalid wife, old and feeble, who feels her sad loss very heavily. »IIe also leaves two daughters to mouru his departure, and also two grandchildren, which latter reside in Rockland the children ot his daughter, Mrs. Wentworth who did a few years since. Mr. Harrington’) funerel took place at the Baptist church on Sun-lay last. All the churches were closed on that

occasion, and Rev. George P. Mathews conducted the services, assisted by Rev. Dr. Mason and Rev. (’. E. Libby. The house was filled with those who had come to pay their last respects to the de­ceased. The sermon of Mr. Mathews was upon recognition in Heaven, a sermon which Mr. Har­rington loved dearly to hear, and which he ex­pressed a desire to have preached at his funeral.

Capt. Charles G. Chase, Overseer a t the shoe shop of the _Maine State Prison, died on Sunday evening last, after a severe and protracted illness. Mr. Chase came to this town about ten years ago, acting in the'capacity of overseer as mentioned above evep.siu^e.He was a good citizen and respect­ed very much in this community. He was a mem­ber of Orient Lodge of Masons and an active mem­ber. He belonged to the Fire department, has been Foreman of State of Maine Engine (’o. and was a member of W. W. Rice Engine Co. at the time of hisdeatli. His remains were tnkerf to Searsport, his native town, for interment, on Satur­day hist, Messrs. E. L. Dillingham,and William II. Smith, accompanying the body to that place, where a large deputation of masons received tlie leccased, and he was buried under masonic hon-

other gentlemen connected with the societies who take part in the celebration.

iVc learn that our friend J . Henry Allen, Pho- rapher.will remain in town only another week.

Mr. Allen’s skill and success in making steroseop- I other pictures has been such that he

will leave behind him a large nunilter of remind- of lii.s stay, which will be treasured as the

years shall give to tlie scenes of the present pre Inch we attach to the past. There is

still some attractive scenery about town that de

serves to lxi bought with his pictures, and our friends who want to preserve the likeness of the homestead should improve their brief oportunity. We are happy to commend Mr. Allen as a gentle- tleman and artist wherever he may go, and pre­dict for him a decided success in his profession.

Dr. I». F. Buxton, our well-known and highly skillful physician, has lieen for something more than a week prostrate with a derangement of the nervous system. We learn that lie is slowly re

Councilman IL J. Hewett, who has been actively interesting himself in raising funds for a Fourth of July celebration, has obtained individ­ual subscription to the amount of about $400, and desires £to increase this amount to $600, which he liopas to do. The Warren Cornet Band has been engaged for the occasion and the Tiger Engine Co. of that town has been invited to par­ticipate in a trial of engines with the Burpees and Birds of this city. It is proposed to have a procession to embraco the hand, Grand Army* Fire Department, with any societies that see

join aud perhaps a trade procession Various diversions are contemplated and the programme suggested includes the following items, the time and order of which are not yet fixed :.National salute, aud ringing of bells a t sunrise, noon and sunset; a trial of engines, for a prise of $50; regatta for sail aud raw boats with prizes $20, $15, $10 and $5 for each class; tub Jrace, with prises of $15 and $5; procession of “ Fantastics,” with prizes of $20, $15, $10 and $5 for the 1st, 2d, 3d and 4th best displays; base bull match between the Dirigos and a volun­teer nine, for a prize of $10; foot-race for prizes of $15, $10, $5 ; greased pig ($15); greased pole with a prizes of $10 aud also a sack race, with prizes of $10 and $5. The expenditures for these purposes with $100 for Band, $50 for salutes, $100 for fireworks and $50 for printing and iucideutal expenses, make up the amount of $600.

Since we arc to have no celebration under mu­nicipal auspices, wo hope this effort to supply the lack, in some degree, by individual enterprise, will be successfully carried out. The amusements proposed would certainly make a full and lively day and give a good deal of variety, and we hope the means to provide them will be furnished. The thing yet locking is some proper civic and

W arren.Rev. (’. II. Wheeler, who for the four years

from 1852 to 1856 was pastor oftlie C’ongrega- tionlist Church in this town, ami since that time has been a very efficient missionary in Asiatic Turkey, was present a t the Wednesday eveuing meeting of the church and addressed the audience on the subject of his labor in the missionary field. He presented the subject in a familiar manner aud his references to ami explanations of Oriental life and customs made his remarks very interesting. He gave the Lord’s prayer in three of the languages spoken within the limits of his field, viz. : Turkish. Armenian and Koordish. His sketch of the Armenians, to whom their mis­sionary work has thus far been mainly directed, was very interesting. This people were Christian 1400 years ago, and large numbera of them so long ago as that, gave the highest proof of the sincerity of their profession, by suffering m artyr­dom for their faith. Since then their language has completely changed, and the Bible existing only in the old Armenian tongue, which is known only to the priests, had been for a long time priorto the coming of the missionaries, practically a sealed hook to the people, ami their religion h: degenerated into superstition.

Yet, though not so degrading as that of pure­ly heathen countries, has little iu common with the true spirit of genuine Christianity. In the course of Mr. AV.’s remarks, he said, incidentally, that the missionaries were in the habit of dealing with a Turkish milkman, because the belief of the Armenians that any such little offence against the code of honesty as selling milk-and-water for milk could be readily pardoned by their bishop, was unfavorable to honest dealing on their part, while on the other hand the belief of the Turks that every drop of water in the milk he sells means an additional drop in a cup of torment that he must drink byo apd bye, assures his cus­tomer an unadulterated article. When the Turk sius he deems it profitable to do soon a scale that is worth suffering punishment for. This illustrates a principle which the best law-givers have al­ways recognized, that there should be an appro- paiate penalty for the violation of every law. Would it not be well to encourage a sufficient Turkish emigration to supply the country with milkmen, grocers, and i f they prove to have the roquiste ingenuity, with manufacturers on a small scale. Wc presume they wouldn’t answer for Congressmen, the temptations in the pathway of the average Congressman being popularly sup­posed to be so large, that the ill-gotten gain would be too likely to outweigh the penalty.

V i u a l H a v e n .The committee of arrangements on the Fourth

of July celebration have already determined up­on part of their programme. Bells will be rung and a salute fired at sunrise, noon and sunset. Fantastics and ancient dress parade—greased pole, foot race and sack race—procession of mili­tary, firemen and civilians—lxiat races—tub race, &c., in the harbor. This is but a part of the programme and the committee, backed by the citizens, are determined to make the coming cele­bration the most entertaining one ever experienced in this vicinity. It is generally believed that the town will appropriate the amont asked for in the w arrant (about $300), which sum, with the amount to be raised by subscription, will give the committee ample funds to carryout their arrange­ments.

new pedigree to the dam. The substance of the matter, as he represents it, is as follows: Win. Me Kinney, the gambler, lived within two miles of him; lie owned a very fine Glencoe mare, called “ Kate Glencoe,” and Mr. Gould esteemed her so highly he hired the use of her from McKinney, for the purpose of breeding her to Grey Eagle. He says he paid McKenney for the use of the mare and the services of the horse. He also say; McKinney told him afterwards the mare had los her foal, lie says, further, that after McKinney’: death his widow told that the mare Kate Glenn c

j had produced a foal; that it had been concealed j and that Gray Eagle was the foal. This is the substance of the new theory; let us examine it. Mr. Gould prized Kate Glencoe, as he calls her, so highly that he went outside of his own large siml rich pastures and hired her to breed from. This little half-starved, hand-to-niuiitli gambler lived two miles from him; now is it probable that M r. Gould would leave a mare lie prized so highly, and for whose use he had paid his money, in the hands of a character like McKinney? Would he trust him to take that mare away to Maysville, with the monev to pav for the services of Gre> ’iaglc! And when the time for foaling had ap­proached, is it probable Mr. Gould would not think enough of the mare to keep his eye on her, as she was within two miles ? These are consid­erations that put forward by Mr. Gould. But, we will gather up whatever of life there may

ay be in this theory and knock it on the head at

If Mr. Chenery’s liorso was got by old Grey igk at all, he was got while he stood at Mays­

ville, in o n e of the years 1853, ’54 or *55. The lull his services for those years now lies open u s, and neither M r. Gouhl nor Mr. M cKin­

ney bred a mare to him any o f those years This record completely annihilates Mr. Gould’s whole theory.

After Gould is informed that neither his nor Mc­Kinney’s name appears on the books of Grcv Eagle and that the only mares from Scioto country that were bred to him any of those years were two by A. H. Albertson, and thinks McKenney may have put her in Albertson’s hands. He says Ahlertsou

man tofhe same type and class of MeKin- The al'ier-thought is altogether tootift'ispa T i n t M r. Gould should have been so anx- o raise a colt from this mare and old •aigle as to pay his money for her use and eave her in th e hands o f such noted liars

tnd cheats, i«? a propostition that we cannot believe.

toi worth while to consider the pedigree that is sought to be given to “ Kate Glencoe,” the opposed tlam of Mr. Cltenery’s horse. It ap- icars to be constructed on the principle th.it if me gives a pedigree it may as well be a good one. It embraces the imp. Glencoe, American Eclipse, Retrain!, Pacific, Sir Archy, Dttrocand Black burn’s Whip, and in the order here stated. This sthe peiligree, as furnished to Mr. Chenery in March last ; but a mouth afterwards Mr. Gould a trn is lie - it to .Mr. Stevens, o f Milwaukee, leaving cat the Pacific cm.-s am! substituting Dioiucd for

Dnroc. This is a fair exhibition of giving pedi- rees from memory, ami especially front Mr. ould’s memory. Mr. Gould says he obtained

this pedigree from the willow of McKinney before her death ; that it was not in writing but her re»«o- I lection of what she had heard her hiiskmd say. The history of the mare.as given by Mrs. McKin-

ibotit ns follows: A man from Greencas­tle , Indiana, owned this mare and was in the habit of visiting Portsmouth for tin purpose of maleh-

g McKinney or atty others h e thought he could •at. In sonic trade McKinney got this mare from ie man from Greencastle. The name of this

worthy is not given, but we now have the three pet­ty gamblers grouped together, and it is exceeding­ly unfortunate that a gentleman »f Mr. Gould’s standing should have put before the world any tatement that depended on such a basis. The life msinessof the whole class of “ quarter-horse men’ iml petty gamblers is to lie and cheat, and so far is we know, these three were adepts in their pro-

To sum it all up, we are firmly of the conviction that the pedigree of Cheitery’s Grey Eagle is unknown. For the public information, as well as

• our highly esteemed friends, Messrs. W. W. Chenery «v Co., we have labored for years to

t at the truth concerning the origin ami blood of this horse. After having examined every sugges­tion that has liven offered, and weighed carefully every claim that has been made, we are forced to the conclusion that no single element of his pedi­gree has vet been established.

This, in connection with the fact of Fellows’ IIy|>oph(isphites increasing the longevity of the human family, is a somewhat singular coincidence, and commands consideration in selecting remedies, particularly of a tonic character.

•‘ T h e M y s t e r y o f C l i c n e r y ’s G r e y E a g l e . ”

To the Editor of the G azette:In answer to Mr. W. W. Chenery’s article in

the Gazette of last week, we submit the following article from Wallace’s Monthly of October, 1875- To ally disinterested person it is|a conclusive state­ment that the pedigree of Chenery’s Grey Eagle is unknown. K n o x .

The splendid trotting performances of this horse in 1864 and 1865, gave him a very promi­nent position among the famous trotting stallions of that day. In December, we saw him a tthe stable of his owner, Mr. Winthrop W. Chenery, of Boston, and from that time till the present, wc have been searching for his breeder, lhat we might be able to establish and authenti­cate his pedigree. The fact that he was repre­sented to be thoroughbred, and ha l attached to him a pedigree that was only one degree short of the thoroughbred standard, has, from the begin­ning, added greatly to the interest of this search. Mr. Chenery gave his pedigree and history as follows, ami lie was so entered iu the Trotting Register, Vol. 1, p. 152:

“ Grey Eagle, (Chenery’s,) gr. h., foaled 185__; got by Grey Eagle, 10S1; «lam by imp.Trustee, 2601; g. d. by Columbus, 516;----- byStockholder, 243V:------by Pacolet, 1788. Brediu Ky., and passed through many vicissitudes both as a runner and trotter, beating his compe­titors at both gaits; owned lor a time in Ohio, now the property of Winthrop W. Chenery & Co., Boston.”

Mr. Chenery had received this pedigree with the horse, and there was no good reason to reject it. There was nothing on its face that was not reasonable, but itlacke.1 the all-important element o f the name of the breeder. Iu this form the pedigree was widely circulated and generally ac­cepted as true. The statement in Mr. Bruce’s Stud Book that he was foaled 1860 and came out of Lottery, J r ., that was foaled 1857, needs no refutation, as the horse in question was certainly foaled as early as 1856—at least one year before his reputed dam.

The great difficulty in this investigation, has grown out of the utterly unreliable character of his first known owner; ami unfortunately the re­presentatives he It ft behind are of the same type. The first we know of die horse, he was owned by Wm. McKinney, a professional gambler of the neighborhood of Portsmouth, Ohio. lie always represented that lie got the colt when a weanling, at <’rah-orchard, Ky., ami his son John, who still resides in Scioto Co., has made the same statement ove^aud over again, and adding cumstances ot Hie trip, and that he was with his father as far as Winchester, Ky., when tie brought the colt home. Unfortunately, there is no certain evidence that fixes the horse’s age. From the best information that we have been able to obtain, he was foaled 1855 or 1856. In 1858 or 185V McKinney took him away for some months, ami on his return represented that he had been to Pike’s Peak, and getting into c.-ublc there, he was pursued by a vigilance committee some three hundred miles, and was frequently within long range of them, but the superior speed and bottom of his horse brought him away without a scratch. Connected with this story of the Pike’s Peak expedition, we have the represen­tation that he ran many races successfully, at all distances. The Pike’s Peak adventure is given f ,r wliat it is worth, ami as to the racing, there is no evidence that he ever run at all.

In the autumn of I860, while riding the horse on the road, McKinney was killed in a terrible storm by the fall of a tree. Soon after this, it is said, his son got a harness and sulky and began to give the horse his first lessons in trotting. The boy’s mother was not’pleased with the*opening prospects in the life of her son, and sold the horse to Dr. A. 11. Jones, of Portsmouth, for one hun­dred dollars and a bay mare. The following let ter from Dr. Jones will throw some light on a part 6T the many representations of McKinney concerning this horse.

“ Yours received in due season. I was for some time the owner of Grey Eagle. McKinney t >ld me he bought him when about six mouths old in Kentucky. I forget what part. His dam Was a mare by old Grey Eagle, and out of a Trus­tee marc. His sire was Bell Keye, and before I bought the horse, his name was “ Belle Keye.” I changed it to Grey Eagle. I am not certain whether he was sired by old Bell Keye or one of h s colts, but am of the opinion he was sired by old Bell Keye. Is the horse still living? As you may well suppose, I thought a great deal of him, believing as I did, and still do, that he was the finest and best horse in Ohio.”

This letter, written in March last, coming from so high a source, and bringing us nearer the ob- j •ct of search than ever before, gave us new hope that we should yet be able to solve the mystery. We were here furnished with the initial point in the name “ Grey Eagle,” which was first given the horse by Df. Jones. With this new pedigree in our hands, we coupled it with the Crab-orch­ard story that had been told so often, and made a thorough investigation, in that region, for a horse called “ Bell Keye,” and for the owner of Grey-Eagle marcs. In a few weeks we found there had been no such horse as Bell Keye, and we also found that nobody in that region of Ken­tucky had ever owned any Grey-Eagle mares.

Having exhausted every aspect in which thoBell Keye ” and Crab-orchard theory offered

any hope, we were presented with a new theory and a new breeder, which we will now examine. Mr. O. B. Gould, of Franklin Furnace, Ohio, owned the horse atone time and sold him, about 1863, to Mr. Woods, of Cincinnati, and gave as pedigree that he was got by Grey Eagle, dam by imp. Trustee, &c. Mr. Gould now conies forward, claims to have bred the horse himself and gives a

A b o u t T a b o r u s c s .Some jienple grow thisfincbiilliongs plant

as they would onions, by merely covering the top of tile crown, and then complain that they are a very uncertain flower at bi-si. Now if they would only plant them deeply, say live or six inches, the foliage would not wither and tlie so quickly dur­ing a dry time. 1 know it is a popular be­lief among a eerfain class of persons, es]iec- ially those residing in sandy districts, that t h e 'T n l ) close requires a light soil, but my ex perii’itee teaches me this is not necessary nor eta’ti beneficial. True, a l.e ivy clay is hurtful, hut a strong garden soil will al­ways pro),nee excellent results. See that thi’ bulbs are of good size, ]M:rfeetly sound (esiH’t'ially tlieeye or crown) and apparent­ly well ripened. Stake the stem as soon as it eommenees to form, ami tie it firmly lo its s i i p |H i r t . This beautiful and highly fragrant plant does not need much water, but re­quires plenty of heat, and then it will am- plv repav the cultivator for his labor. For- nierlv, tlie main slock of bulbs were grown in Italy for the English and French dealers, hut of latter years the American florists surpass them in size and quality, so that the cultivation of the Tuberose with us is fast lK’uoming a valualilc item of export.

A B e a u t i f u l F lo w e r .A desire lo call attention to an old but

very attractive plant, seldom seen in col­lections, the I'allula purpurea, belonging to die Amarvllts family of bulbs. Its prop­er place is ill the warm greenhouse or store, l i n t it may he grown in tile sunny window of a warm room with good resuits. I n- like most other bulbs, this does not need, nor will it permit an absolute season of rest. Its roots must not he allowed to dry after flowering as it is an evergreen in foli­age. After the flowering season is past, if it needs repotting, this is the time to attend to the operation, :ts it is an evergreen in foliage. Any good sandy loam, with a lit­tle leaf-mold or peat, will answer it. About three bulbs to a six inch i>ot look well, or a single bull) will grow ill n four inch size. Do not water unless the soil shows that it needs attention, and then do it thor­oughly—“ little and often ” is a poor mot­to in watering plants.

The Florist and 1‘omologist recommends the followiugiui-xture for mildew, settle, red spider, etc., upon greenhouse plants and hardy shrubs: Flour of sulphur, two ounces worked to a paste with a little water; sal soda, two ounces; cut tobacco, half and ounce; quicklime, the size of a duck’s egg; water, one gallon. Boil together and stir for fifteen minutes, and let it cool and set­tle. In using it, dilute according to the character of tlie plants, which are to he gyr- tinge 1 with wa'cr after h t applicatii n.

Il is stated by a press cones pom lent in Xew Orleans that in one parish in Lousi­anan, there arc thirteen negro schools: sup|«irleil by taxi’s paid almost exclusively I by the whiles, [and no white school, be­cause nn one neighborhood can furnish ' twenty-five while scholars, the number re­quired by law.

The Indinnnpolis journal says meekly: “ A lypogr.ijihieal error in the Journal’s re­port of the storm made it say that the In- dianopolis and St. Louis wives arc all down west of Greencastle. It is hardly necessary to assure those estimable ladies and their friends that it was the wires that were down.”

•Have you children?” demanded a house renter. “ Yes.” replied the other, solemnly; “ six—all in the cemetery.” “ Better there than here,” said the land­lord. consolingly, and proceeded to execute the desired lease. In due time the chil­dren returned from the cemetery, whither they had been sent to have a nice play; lint it was too late to annul the contract.

After all our cry of free common schools Denmark is ahead in practical and useful leaching. Copenhagen affords gratulious tcehnical-cducation to even the youngest ehildren of both sexes. Three nights every week instruction may lie hail in saw­ing, turning, carving, polishing, &c., and tile little Danes can be admmitted at seven years of age.

Show me a woman or mail who will make a home out of any spot where they alight, anil you will see two already saved from the evil in the world. The grandest men that I have ever known have needed or longed most for a home. The largest naturod women who live find the fullness and sweetness of lining at home, or they never find it in this life. For stielt ns have misted it or lost it, no career on earth holds an adequate compensation.—Mary Clcm-mcr. ___________________

L e m o n s W h o le s o m e .When people feel the need of acid, if

they would let vinegar [alone .and use lemons or apples, they would feel as well satisfied and receive no injury. A sugges­tion may not come amiss as ton good plan, when lemons are so cheap ill tlie market, to make a good lenten syrup. Press your hand on the lemon, and roll it back and forth briskly on the table to make it squeeze more easily, then press the juice in­to a bowl 111' tumbler—never into a tin ; strain out all the seeds as they , give a bad tlavor. remove all the pull) front the peels and boil-in water —a pint fora dozen pulps —to extract the acid. A few moments boiling is enough; then strain the water with the juice of the lemon, jiut a pound of white sugar to a pint of the juice; boil ten minutes, lmtlle it, and your lemonade is ready. I’ut a tablespoonful or two of lemon syrup in a glass of water, anil you will have a cooling, healthful drink.
