FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. j FRVtnrrf.' i?tub Notes. I knew ft farmer, not remarkable for ! his carol nl management of manures, nor i in fact 'jr thrifty farming, and he occupied a f;ir:u rather worn by previous ba<l marin^emont. For a few years past j it ha=i brt<.^ noticed that he frets crops of j wheat actually larger than his neighbors ! get, thI the impr. vomeut attracted notic-j, no ? called on him to ascertain what mea:?-? v, ore employed, and was informed I that tlii- improvement was due to use of plaster on Lis wheat in the fall, the rato of the application being about two bushels to the acre. He had taken no other f.teps to improve the yield of wheat, bnt tins practice had been kept np through j several years, vith results as stated. On a former occasion I recommended farmers to prepare their own phosphates, j but I have seen no reasons for modifying my opinions. It is relatively cheaper to mako up a considerable quantity, as 1 have already shown, and I therefore say it would be better for tho farmers of a neighborhood to ioin. Ground ! bono may be adulterated very much without betrayiug by its appearance the wrong. So I say it is better as well as ; cheaper for farmers to prepare their j own pho^ahateH. As to how to apply j them, I ffvo only to say there is no bet- j ter way than to drill the fertilizer in with the seed. Rye for fodder makes probably the ! best early feed that can bo obtained, ; but it must bo cut before it gets too ! ripe or stock will not eat it with relish. \ It can bo sown in the summer on rich ground, and will make considerable good feed from an acre. It is said that if it be sown then it will not head in the same season, bnt I never yet waited long enough to see how it -would be. I do not believe that anything can be prooured to take the place of corn fodder, taking all things into account. A ! neighbor of min*> has this season grown i some German millet, but it did not como j _ up to bis expectation, growing very livrge and coarse stalks with but few leaves. It seems very innutritious, but when it comes to be fed it may prove better than it looks. I have never yet succeeded with Hungarian grass as a soiling crop. It will not produce a quarter as much fodder as corn, nor do j cattle or horses like it as well. I have 1 grown eight tons of dry corn fodder per acre, and the total expense did not exceed ?12 per acre for labor anil seed. If any one has plenty of time to take care of tl.o crop I think the best substitute that can bo raised is beets. But they take a largo amount of work during the early part of the season, and to be very successful there must bo a great deal of hand-hoeing dono in a root crop. And then there is much more trouble and risk in keeping them for winter and spring feeding. Yet an acre of beets, on good ground, well taken care of, will pro- ! duce a great amount of excellent feed j for cattle and hogs. I have nearly \ of avo nn o n rrrt? Otl/1 ! vtxuuclcu ovwio uvajo v/u ouj^ai UWWJ tuiu i kept them in good growing condition all the time. Hou?rkfi<i?tr FUnta. Corn Bread.?My corn bread hus been pronounced to be far lighter and nicer than any made by first scalding j the meal. Into one cupt'ul flonr and j three oupfnls Indian meal mix two teaspoonfuls baking powder whilo dry; then one teaspoonful sugar and half a teacnpful of butter melted; mis with milk into a stiff batter, and bake either in small tins or a pan in a quick oven. No eggs. Quickly MiJ)E DrMPLixas.?A pint of bread crumb?, a teaspoonful of finely j chopped suet, two tablespoonfuis sugar, ; grated lemon peel and a little nutmeg, if liked; mix all together with two eggs, * roll into balb with a little flour, and j drop into boiling water. Twenty min- 1 utes will cflok them. While boiling | make the following sauce: One cupful of milk, one tablespoonful of ungar, one i of floor, rubbed smooth with a small | piece of butter, a little grsted lcmr>n i peel. Boil together, ?md keep Stirling about five minutes. For .Lamb Potfes.?Take a breast oi lamb, cut it in pieces two inches square, j pot it on the fire in the saucepan in cold j water. As soon as it boils take it off : and wash it in plenty of cold water. Pot | it on the fire again in the saucepan, i cover it with water, make a bouquet of I parsley, allow it to simmer for an hour j and a half, then salt and pepper it to | taste, and make a crust of a quart of : flour, two ounces of lard, a teaspoonful | of oream of tartar and two of carbonate j of soda; mix it up with either milk or j water; roll it out and put it over with j the lamb. Let it cook for twenty min- j utes. And there is your potpio. To Cook Potatoes.?Peel and cut in | very thin slices a numbe*>of potatoes j according to the number of persons at j the meal. Lay them in water over i night. In the morning pat them in the collander and drain off all the water. Fifteen minutes before breakfast time put the fryiugpan on the fire one-half full of any kind of Gripping. A - soon as it is smoking hot drop the potatoes in it a few at a time until they are all in. Keep the fryingpan in constant motion. Try them with a fork, and as soon as they aro ready take them up into a collander. Season them with salt and serve. The thinner they are sliced the quicker they will cook. Sufficient dripping should be put into the pan to half fill it, so as to evaporate the steam rapidly enough, or they will in a manner boil in it. When only enough fat is used to prevent the potatoes sticking to tho pan, cold boiled potatoes must bo cut in slices and fried. This is called potato saute. Hints for WaMblnic Day. . Washing day will insist upon making its unwelcome appearance once a weefc. The linen for Monday's wash should be collected on Saturday night, sorted and put to soak in cold water, according to the various kinds. The body linpu should be put into one tub, the bed and table linen into another, and the fine things separately. Plain collars, cuffs and wristbands should be strung through the buttonholes on a piece of bobbin long enough for the articles to be easily divided for rubbing, starching, etc. Colored nn.IIn-, j.riuis an2 flannels must be laid aside to be washed in a different manner from the white calico or linen. Properly boiled suds are far better than soap for washing, particularly if a washing machine be employed. The suds should be prepared in the following manner : Sbred into an earthenware jar the best yellow soap cut into very fine shavings, and pour boiling water to the quantity required. One pound of soap i3 plenty for a gallon of water. Add to this quantity half a pound of the brst Scotch soda, and set the jar (covered) on a stove or at the back of the kitchen rango till the soap a n nifn Tf fUia o uivu ui^wvuwwt ** buio uu UUUO v/li iaturday evening the soap will Le a mootb. jolly fit to uso on Monday mornng. 2 Bnilding Yachts. The celebrated yacht America, a vessel which won her laurels in 1851, and which onr yacht builders, with all their skill, have never yet improved upon, had masts which raked heavily aft, and she drew nearly three times as much water aft as forward. Despite the speed and other advantages thus gained, a shipbuilder in Bombay has constructed the Ocean Qaeen in diametrically the opposite way, and claims that she beats steamers, making, witn a xavorable breeze, some twenty knots per honr. The masts rake, Malay stylo, greatly forwrad, where the heaviest draft of water is found. It remains for naval architects to reconcile the discrepancy if they oan.?Scientific American. A Severe Penalty. Soon after the first railroad was opened in China, a daft native ran in front of a locomotive and was killed. The evidence at the inqnest showed conclusively that the man had been in an excited state of j mind bordering npon insanity, and that the engine driver took every conceivable precaution to avoid running over him. The British minister, however, is so anxions to impress the Chinese authorities with a proper sense of the fairness and justice of the English character that he insists upon having the engineer tried for manslaughter. " To Old Friends, Where are they scattered now, The old, old friends ? One made her dwelling where the maples glow, And mighty streams through solemn forest flow, Bat never from the pine crowned land of snow A message tends. Some meet me oft amid Life's oommon ways; And then, perchance, a word or smile declares That warm hearts throb beneath their load of cares; For love grows on, like wheat among the tares, Till harvost days. " But some are fall'n asleep The words are sweet! Oh, friends at rest beneath the blessed sod. *31y feet still tread the weary road ye trod Ere yet your loving souls went bacK to uoa : When shall we meet ? Oh, thou divinest Friend, When shall it be That I may know them in their garments white ? And see them with a new and clearer sight, Mine old familiar rrienda?made fair and bright, Like unto Thee! ON THE VERGE OF DEATH. A GYMNAST'S ADVENTURE. I had amoag my l'ellow students a special renown for my skill in every kind of gymnastics. Athletic exercise, in the widest sense of the term, was to me a pleasure to which I had surrendered myself, body and soul, and in oonsequence of which I possessed, although not tall and strong, some muscle and a high degree of confidence, while I had acquired, in perilous situations, presence of mind?all of which qualities form even now a considerable portion of my character. When at last my studies were ended, and I had obtained a situation as pastor in western Germany, I did not give up my old inclination for gymnastics, and there was considerable talk one fine day over the circumstance that the young clergyman of the church of St. Blasius had been seen hanging in his garden by his legs, and in this headlong position caressing bis little eon, who was crawling under him on the ground. I possessed such an article of humanity, since, on my accession to the pastorate, L naa eteereu into ine naroor 01 matrimony. Bat my favorite diversion, when I had a few leisure hours, and the sun was not too scorching, consisted in climbing to a narrow projection on the lofty church roof, and walking about there while I smoked my cigar. What a magnificent place this old church roof was! Quite another world than that which lay far below me?a region of rock and stone, without vegetation or water, except when it rained, and the gutters were filled, in which case this special realm presented little attraction. It was a world where I had often indulged in star gazing. I regarded this airy region as my special province, where I reignod in solitary majesty over my subj cts, consisting of daws and swallows?often very noisy aud intolerable ones. It excited in me a merry, perhaps somewhat boyish feeling, as I thought what a look my superintendent would put on when he heard of my excursions in the narrow, gloomy towers, between great grinning clnn? faY. nhornVin c/xilv ^rnenna V, :iml gutters of zino, or on the pinnacles of the towers, from which was presented a wide prospect over ?*. picturesquo landscape. Sometimes I climbed down in the 'oroad gutter in the middle of the roof, from which nothing was to be seen above but the blue heavens and the swarming swallows, aud below, the broad paved church square, on which, a hundred aud twenty feet beneath, the people crept about like ants. It was during one of these excursions that the event occurred which I will relato, and which thoroughly cured me for several months of my desire for roof climbing. I must first inform you that, around the outside of the cathedral, just where Lhe roof terminated, ran a smooth projecting edge, about a foot wide. Under this, considerably lower, jast above the great entrance gate, was a huge stone projection, wmcn iormeriy supported a colossal figure oi St. Peter, holding a fjreat iron lantern. The statue had long :igo disappeared, and half of the lantern was broken off, so that what was left had the appearance of an arm chair without legs. Standing on the stone eaves one day, ibove this relio of past centuries, the thought suddenly seized me that it would be au amusement of a new and original ';ind to swing mj-self down and enjoy my cigar in this fantastic arm chair. Without hesitating a moment, I turned around, kneeled down, seized the eaves with oonvulsive grasp, and the next instant was dangling in midair over the abyss, more than a hundred fpfit from fcb.fi purfch. As I looked, in this situation, under me at the defective lantern, I found i-hat I was not directly over it?indeed, it was two feet further from the wall than I had thought. This circum :tance, however, caused me little anxiety. Giving myself a j swing, by which I easily pressed one foot against the building, I sprung safely into my resting place in the broken lantern. Here I sat a long time, smoking my cigar, drumming with my heels on the wall, and complacently enjoying tho cool of the evening and the magnificent prospect. The sun was setting before I thought of undertaking my return, which I was especially induced to do by the sight of one or two persons, who were standing below and gazing up at me. It was not three minutes before quite a crowd of people had gathered about them to enjoy the spectacle of a man sitting in St. Peter's lantern. "Halloo 1" thought I, "it is now time to return ! Some one will find out who I am, and then there will be a pretty gossip in the plaoo." But I suddenly became aware that return was not so easy. My seat was sd constructed that I could not rise in my usual way. The sides of the lantern were of smooth iron, and so high that I could get no hold. There was nothing left me but to press mr Vi o n /I a nnnn fho anaf VmVnnrl mo raise myself so, and draw my legs after me until they could rest between my hands upon tho lantern. Then I could rise ;to my full hoight, and turn around on my own axis. This way of raising yourself evory gymnast knows and practices, but every one knows, too, what an exertion of muscular strength in hands and arms is necessary in this procedure, and that any mistake would occasion a failure? perhaps, too, a fall below. Now, there is a vast difference between a bar erected on level ground, and an iron lantern on the wall of a church a hundred feet high, from whioh a fall upon the rough pavement must have an absolutely fatal effect. The more I considered my situation the less it pleased me, and there I sat and smiled feebly at the multitude below, which increased every moment, ashamed to cry for help, or make known my fear. " Well," said I to myself, " if I sit here any longer I shall lose every favorable chance to escape. It is ludicrous to become bewildered, like a child that has gore astray in climbing, quite aside from the astonishment that the story | must cause, if it comes to the ears of my parishioners and supporters. Up, then! I will clo?e my eyes and act as if I were performing on the soft turf of my garden." Id the Rpace of a minute I stood on my legs in the lantern, and wondered at my foolish weakness, when I observed, to my terror, that I still had the most difficult part of my undertaking to perform. Raising my hands above my head to seize the smooth stone eaves, I became aware that they were at least a foot and a half beyond my reach. In vain did I rise on my tiptoes and stretch out my arms convulsively; it seemed highly probable that I should have to spend the night in this situation. This was truly no agreeable consideration ; for the seat was only just large enough for mo to sit upright in it, and if I fell asleep, which was possible, I should be precipitated headlong upon the pavement. Then thoy could collect my bcnrs the next morning. At this critical moment I was rejoiced by the appearance of the sexton on the eaves. He had missed me, and had come to seek me. "Silbermann," I cried, interrupting his exclamations of astonishment, "I am, as you see, in a peculiar dilemma, since 1 cannot reach the eaves. You must help me. It is no use to bring a rope, since you would not have room to brace yourself. If you bend down, however, and reach mo*your hand, you can exert your entire strength, and raise me. You are a powerful man, and I am not particularly heavy." " Oh, sir, I am sure that I cannot lift you 1" he replied. 1, Ttr J L I" T " my gwu miiu, yuu uuubl. i x uooour ed. " I cannot indeed pass the whole night in this situation, and, moreover, I might ^ack up my bundle to-morrow immediately, when this stupid story became known. Do not be foolish, therefore, and give me your hand." In reply the sexton crouched down unwillingly, and stretched out his hand, which I firmly seized with both mine by the wrist, while I swung myself out into midair. I felt one or two convulsive jerks, and was drawn up about half a foot, but then at once let down again. He could not raise me. I looked up. Such a visage as met my gaze, may I never in my life see ogain! It was pale as death; the protruding eyes stared with the expression 1 A i-i- iL. ~1 01 measureless terror uiu me auvaa uoneath us, and a cold sweat stood upon his forehead. "Let go!" he cried. "Curses upon you, let go! You will break my arm ! I can hold on no longer, and shall be dashed in pieces!" He wailed like a child, at this moment of extreme peril. My hair rose?my brain reeled. I expected myself evqry instant to plunge below. My desperation gave me coolness, and I was surprised at the clearness and consistency with which I spoke. " Silbermaun," I said, " listen to me, 4-i- L1? T | ana cense mis uurehmuuuuio uiuinux. j. can feel that you are gaining the counterpoise more and more every successive second. If I let go of you 1 shall perish; if not, wo both will, and I assure you that I shall not let go, as long as I can hold on. You had better, therefore, draw me up at once." I saw that he set his teeth together, and closed his eyes. Then followed a terrible exertion of strength, and I was kneeling upon the eaves. The sexton lay beside me in a deep swoon. I now bore him carefully through the trapdoor to the vestry, and gavo him water, so that he soon recovered consciousness; bat neither of us has ever forgotten that perilous adventure upon the eaves of the church roof. As for myself, three months passed by before 1 again trod this almost fatal place, and you can easily imagine that I avoided St. Peter's lantern liko fire. The sexton kept the secret, assuring inquisitive questioners that an eccentric Englishman, traveling through the country, had taken hie seat in the lantern, and this version of the story was currently believed. Although the gymnastic mania was not entirely frightened out of me by this adventure, it only remained in a modiI fled form, and I have since confined my J athletic exploits to places less perilous i than the scene of those moments of tor iror* ' What War Will Do. ! The leading journals of the United j States figure that a general war in : I Europe will make business lively on ! this side of the wat6r. It will increase i the price of grain, as the grain growing countries of the old world will be shut j out of foreign markets. The New York Tribune says : In many branches of , manufacture the disturbance in Europe 1 would help us, either by preventing the shipment of surplus products here, or by increasing the demand for our products abroad. Tho iron, woolen, and I | boot and shoe manufactures, with many of minor importance, will be affected in ! greater or lesser degree. The surplus capital of Europe must turn more and more to seek security across the oceau, and United States bonds must advance. Other undoubted American securities will be sought, and many millions of foreign capital will find safe employment here. These investments and loans will go far to stimulate our industry. There is reason to suppose that unsound concerns will escape loss through a general and indiscriminate advance of stocks and bonds. European investors have acquired a profound distrust of most American enterprises. They are no longer cheated by the tricks of speculators, which fix an artificial price on the stock board. Strong foreign demand for securities that are known to be of real value will only bring into clearer light tho weakness of those which enjoy no confidence abroad. If Franoe, Germany or England engages in tho struggle, financial consequences of the gravest importance may result. If Franoo, for example, should be compelled to unlock its immense I s\t nnin if novmnnv cilirml/l KA DlViO VI WlUj J. A VIVtlMUUJ UUVlA4\.t wv forced to abandon for a time its changes ] in currency, if England should be ] threatened in India or met by a foe \ capable of disturbing its commerce by , maritime warfare, the effects in this | country might be ic definitely increased. ( But as matters stand, a prospect of war in Europe is a prospect of higher prices for breadstufls and provisions, larger 1 demand in sound American securities, lower gold, and improved business. A Terrible ReTulsion. Who Bhall fathom the divine depths of a mother's love ? Who can tell the workings of a woman's mind? The other day a stately dame in Chicago heard a rumor th^t her son, heir to her wealth, and whom phe loved dearer than life itself, had goue and proposed to a beautiful and accomplished but penniless girl. Summoning the young man to her presenoe, she obtained the girl's address, and called upon her. " My poor son," she said, " has been so misguided as to propose for your hand in marriage (thongh why, I am sure, I cannot soe), and I havo come to say that this match cannot be allowed to be concluded. Your position is such that "? "I beg your pardon, madam," replied the young girl, in a clear, bell-Hire voice, "but I have rejected your son's offer." " Rejected bis offer I" almost gasped the old woman. "Yes, madam," replied the beautiful girl; " I told him that I could not for a moment entettain any offer from him." "Oh, you did. did you ?" rejoined the old lady, with freezing politeness and scarcasm ; " oh, you did ! And wasn't my son good enough for you, you impudent thing, you ?

Tonre P D Esq. Rnined by Gambling. An incident upon which to fonnd a moral is furnished Mr. Moody in the death of a young man in Chicago. His name waa George Russell. He was of good family, it is said, and was lured away f. om a respectable life by the infatuation of gambling. When he came to Chicago, in 1871, he represented a New York cloth house, and sold goodB to jobbers throughout the West. At his boarding house, where were half a dozen persons of his own age, the game of "vingt-un," with a twenty-five cent limit, was the principal amusement, and, so far as known, this was the first hazard in which Russell ever indulged. He liked to play, but the small limit precluding large gains, Ije was dissatisfied Tho into rflcrnlar pamblinc houses T7as easy, and thither he would go whenever ho had any money. As a usnal thing he left behind him all he took iD, but the hope of winning his deposits back and " a big stake " in addition enooTiraged him to continue his visits. His " lnok," however, did not ohange, and he never won what he anticipated. He spent so much time in gambling saloons that his employers heard of it, and discharged him. Having no souroe to look to for money, he turned his attention solely to gambling for a living. He had made the acquaintance of several bunko ropers, and, possessing a fair address and an abundance of effrontery, he boon found a " part ner," and the two thereafter devoted themselves to fleecing strangers. Bossell was successful in this line and made considerable money for the gang for whom he "steered." His share, thongh, was left in faro banks. When the bunko men were driven from the oity he went with them, and, after wandering for a time, at length made Omaha and Ogden his headquarters alternately. For six months he worked the Union Pacific trains in oompany with monte players and his part of the proceeds of tb? robberies was several thousand dollar'j. Every penny of it, however, went into the maw of his enemy, the "tiger," and he returned to Chicago " dead broke." Having no place to sleep and nothing to eat, a gambler who was a stranger to him, took him to his room and shared his bed with him and gave him a little money. Bussell complained of being ill; said he "felt cold;" ho went to bed and was seized with a congestive chill and died during the night. Ho had no friends in Chicago; at least nono can be found. Half i vi? ut a dozen persona nuew uim biibjuuijt, um his only intimate acquaintances 44 cut" him two-years ago. His roommate did not know what to do with the body. Understanding that one of the deceased's relations was a Judge Russell, of New York, he telegraphed there but got no reply. The fact of his death was mentioned to the gang who knew him better than any others, but they refused to give up a dollar to help defray the bnrial expenses. The result was the body was turned over to the authorities for interment in the Potter's field or transfer to a dissecting table. A Heroine. Mrs. Wilhelmina Giles, who died recently in London, was in early life quite a heroine. She was a native of Dantzio, and was in her seventeenth year when the city was besieged by the French. The assailants ?moshed everything in her father's hoiiae, and even drugged a meerschaum pipe out of his month, declaring that it was too good for a "pig of a Prussian " Her parents died soon after the siege, and the girl went to live with her anut. Private Giles, of Colonel Macdonald's Rocket Troop, was billeted on them, and fell in love with her. She accompanied her husband to England, and when the war broke out went with him to Belgium. At Waterloo she was , posted with the baggage at the rear of the army. Toward the close of the day ! aim rnonf. Cnrtror/1 tnnnnf. rl nn ft rlnnbfiV. to ace how " her Giles" was getting on. A limber gunner, seeing her, advised her to attach the animal to the carriage and mount up by the side of him. This she did, but, a little while after, suddenly discovered that the donkey had disappeared, and with it all her baggage. She never saw it again, and late in the evening found herself alone on the field of Waterloo, without food, and separated from her husband,who had been sent to Brussels with dispatches. A soldier gave her a blanket, in which she made a hole so as to slip it over her head, and tied it around her like a cloak. This was bnt a poor protection ngainst the torrents of rain that fell during the night, and, added to the groans of the wounded, kept the forlorn Prussian girl Aw>ikA till morninff. when her husband returned from Brussels and found her. Mr. Giles regained in the army until his time was up, and then, with the savings ho had amassed while in the service, he built a little cottage at East Wickham. He died about fifteen year? ago, but his wife was spared to see tie wrongs of her native town avenged on the French in 1870. Off for Liberia. Bishop Gilbert Haven and his colony i for Liberia left New York, in presence of quite a number of people, many of whom were Methodist clergymen and personal friends of the well known Connecticut prelate, for Liberia. The oolored immigrants were chiefly from South Carolinia, and of both sexes. They wore homespun clothes and appeared a hardy, healthy set of people. They seemed to be rather glad at leaving this land of liberty and equal rights, and no doubt their minds pictured a future of glowing and perennial happiness on Afric's sunny strand. Bishop Haven was in fine spirits. He spoke enthusiastically of the destiny of the colored race?of the day when, in educated numbers, they would return to their natal soil and redeem a great continent from sterility and barbarism. He dwelt fondly on the prospect he hoped to see arise of great fleets leaving the ports of America laden with intelligent and Christian negroes, carrying the torch of civilization and religion into the haunts of superstition, vice and heathenism. The immigrants were thirty in number, comprising men, women and children, the oldest being fifty-eight years and the youngest twelve months. Most of them were farmers ; there was one carperitcr, one laborer and one blacssmith. The bark in which the party sailed carried a large cn:go of provisions of every description. Merchant's Gargling Oil has won for itself a world-wide reputation as a liniment usefnl in rheumatism, sprains, bruises, burns, scalds, etc. This preparation was first manufactured in 1833, and since then has steadily grown into the favor and confidence of the people.

There is, probably, no disease which experience haa so amply proved to be remediable by the Peruvian Syrup m dyspereia.
