A Sensible Serenade.
I sint; beneath your lattice, love,
sonx of great resrard lor you,
Tho moon is gating rather hi^h,
My voice is, too.
The lakelet in deep shadow lies,
l'he frogs make much hullabaloo,
I think they sing a trifle hoarse,
And, love, me too.
The blossoms on the pumpkin Tine
Aro weeping diamond tears ol dew,
'Tis warm; the flowers are wilting last.
My linen, too.
All motionless the cedars stand,
With silent moonbeams slanting thro';
Ihe very air is drowsy, love,
And 1 am, too.
Ob, could I sour on loving wings,
And at your window gently woo!
But then your lattice you would bolt?
So I'll bolt, too.
And now I've done my serenade,
Farewell, my best regards o you;
I'll close with one (French) word lor all,

The Favorite DaughterColor.el
Morton was one of England's
Indian soldiers who had attained distinction.
Ho was a Companion of the
Hath; and although honors are sometimes
bestowed in tie neighborhood ol
courts on sm>-ll pretence or upon none,
the Indian officers who win the ribbon
are perhaps among the most meritorious
bo-;y of men in the world. And il
to be brave and kindly, loynl and true,
fire nivilifins wrhii-li merit the recosni
ticn of authority, the colonel (!eseA*ed
'be reward he had received, and more,
lie hnd married early in life and had
several children, which had perhaps
civen a manly pravity to his character
when other youne captains of his ace
were ovei-bnsy with brandy-pawnee
nnd eamcs of hazard. Certain it is that
his home was cited as one of the pleasnntcftand
best-kept houses In Madras,
when first his wife sickened,
tJ;en his children. The climate cf
India was not so well understood at
that time as it is now; and Mrs- Morton
w<ts ordered home by the local physi>
cian. mo-t experienced in such cases.
"You will never rear a iamuy uere,"
remarked the doctor, who was frequently
consulted in such "mergencies.
"The climate is unfavorable to the
bpalth anH vi/ioroftke English race in
tho second gee'-ration. Native air is the
only remedy known to science, and it
mu?t be taken as soon as the mischief
begins. 1 had to send my wife home
fast year: the best advice I ca*? give
you is to follow my example."
So Mi p. Morton, after some struggle
with l.f-r love end pride, had to leave
bcr hurbsnd. ss other ladies have done
before and since, with a sore heart. But
there was no help for it; the brave and
loving woman remained at her post,
end sxiiiVd at her own danger, so that
f he ccu'd bv the side of him who
wa? more than life to her. Then nature
gave wrsy and broke down utterly.
She and her children were pale and
thin a* phantoms when they stepped on
board the great ship, which was flying

Mrs Morton settled on the pleasant

neiehnorhood of some rich kinsfolk

It was long before she rallierl and the

course, and was handsomely dealt with
by''John Company" [a nickname foi
. the then Hon. East India Company] ?
.V * n kinder master, it is said, than his suei
cessor.
Whenlho colonel arrived at Southampton,
however, witti all his honors
thii-k upon him, he was a good deal
altered. Iiis sta^art figure luel not run
t nto buik. and had the same gallant cavi
>?elifr look r.r. whtn be rooo with Have
, _ look and Reaston on his first campaigns.

fek Tiara service and rough diet had done
their work upon him. Barrack life is
not all rcse-color.
A>>outayear after Mrs- Morten had
we'corned her husband to tho Hampshire
rhome she had made around her, another
t daughter was born to thom. She was
i _ born ?it daybreak on a May morning,
f,#> * and tbe happy father, who was not
f-'" wanting in poetic instinct, at once gave
her the name of Aurora.
She was a frail, delicate child, with
vroncericg blue eyes, and a transparent
complexion faintly warmed by auburn
i Identintwbich looked
punb'.'am played amongst
its silken curls. Her fragile life appeared,
for years, to haneupon athread,
and it was a touching eight to ?ee the
bard old soicier of a hundred battlefields
watching the feeble gambols of his
jittle girl, and rocking her to sleep in his
s!rone arms when she tired, which was
very soon.
He could scarcely bear to be apart
(row her, and carried her about at his
PfldGiC'IX^W Wlit'n lit; juuc xiuut; wc
Hampshire lanes. He had her beside
him playinir on a carpet when he fished
fv r tr >ut. He tooit her into the lields
p. ' where his hay was making. He wenl
gardening ard boating on his lake witt
i,?r. He was nevertirsd cf her prettj
rrattU1, ard by-and-bye they began tc
I - - rum!) together.
.The cbiid's limbs developed intc
j-iumpness smd vit:or, till by thetimeshe
was u n years old she had become a wild,
.> > ).'jiuti/ui b?.i<len, full of high spirits
: f;d wilfulness. Siifi could ride, she
V (( vId sin;.', she could dance, and was
ndv lor a!i kinds of fun and frolic.
. At twelve she c. uld have
commanded a troop of horse,
> . and knew more of military tactics from
ti e colonel's talk than many a promisi
... j

c'.iraax was reached when Mrs. Morion,
suspecting with a woman's intuition
that they were too quiet to be up tc
L. much good, ntolc in upon the pair one
P ~ " nftcrnoon and surprised the colonel on
one km e behind a serein in the library
teaching his pupil the noble art of selfdefense.
She had hit out, t; o. so straight
: from the- shoulder, that his face resembled
the family plum-dumpling which
had heensetved for tifliu.
That night Mrs. Morton cave her husband
a curti-.in jecture, and. after nearly
choking him with kisses and laughter,
formally took her daughter's education
out of his hards. These good people
were all of soldierly tastes, and loved
!v p'uek and spirit even in women.
Aurora was then about, the age when
s girl begins to grow shy, and clings
I t kscr to her mother; so she became a
prim and praiseworthy littie miss for
v < vcral years, makinir progress in femiS
nine ethics snd deportment in a demure,
8 decile way that was quite refreshing.
B he young witch had an inborn faculty
K*.-' ot charming. All she did h*.d a natural
w grace an<I winsomenc~s. She showed
r as great ?. taste for the accomplishments
F of yonncr 'tidies as she bad don^ f r those
of a diiT-irent sort. Shn learned tc

I cheeses before illustrious visitors and tc

and loveliness as quickly ar.d well ju
nhfi had learned to ride and handle s
hair-trigger; and though she would ofter
fay, " Mamma. I ouuht to have been ru}
k, brother," she was a dainty young beautj
P indeed at seventeen.
She po>ses?ed especially a rcramkabh
t:ilent !or sineing. There was ar
untaught melody in her voice whicl
was a'rucst amazing in an English girl
ller sones and her sweet, pretty whims
?rd waVs were enough to charm th(
heart of a cynic, and there was not i
manor-hous* within twenty miles .o:
yreshfields where she was not as welcome
as heni'hy weather.
i
In her own home she wr.s li^ht, she
whs joy. She gladdened the whole house
?and ruled it. She kept her father's
accounts and hrr mother's kevs, oeing
a shrewd little lady into the bargain; a j
soldier's daughter, who knew the titness j
of things, also the price of them.

when the colonol came home from India
they were almost strangers to him; but
Aurora had never been separated from
him a day since her birth. She knew
all the family affairs and interests and i
short-eominsis from day to day. She
knew of brother Tom's private; allowance
from his mother to pay off his Oxford
debts, and of sister Mary's quarrel
with sister Jane, and how it had to be
kept secret from Aunt Ilester for fear
she should alter the wiil. There was
also something about Jack, who was in
the navy, which she only knew herself;
and, indeed, she was the most experienced
person in the household, having
much sound counsel in her, and might
have seemed to a fanciful imagination,
encircled in that sterling hoiue-iovc,
like a fair jewel in a golden casket.
Her father's early training had taught
nvt fho rvloir* trnf!)C r\f lifr*
she could converse far better, and
more reasonably as well, upon a greater
variety of topics thanjfmost young
women. To her father she was what
neither man nor woman couid be but
herself. She was his friend and yet his
chiid, which is the tenderest of ail connections
that bind together human
. hearts. She knew all the strene?!' and
[ weaknesses of his character, whi: ;: was
, by no means pcrfcct. She govern d but
she obeyed him, and his unspoken wish
I was law to her proud and generous
heart.
[ He had accustomed her to military
obedience of orders, and she would
f marcii off anywhere and everywhere at
the word of command with amusing
| dcc'lity; for there was one thing which
the colonel coum not near, ana tnai was
opposition to {11*3 will. In the midst of
her most wayward humors, ar.d when
; she felt elate wi:h all the royalty of her
womanhood, she would not have angered
him for the world.
Perhaps part ot the honeyed eecret of
the sympathy between them whs that
1 she had a true hero-worship for the old
soldier, and fought his campaigns over
and over again with him with as much
pleasure as he did.
Her language glowed with a poetry all
her own w hen she she spoke oi her
father's worth and couarg'*.
She treasured up his clasps and nicuai^
as ot great nrice; his sword and sabretache
were sacred in her eyes. As they
talked together of sieges and of battles,
of deeds of daring and victory, she
looked indeed the fairest vision than
, she could smile on valor when its task
was done.

up their minds to marry her, for they
, knew no one worthy of her hand; and
her own heart never spoke, gave
in merry jests lamong the
squires of the county. Lord Mallowtiejd
had sidled up to her at a wonI
derful bail she attended nt Cowes; Mr.
1 Dewdnry. who owned the next parish,
j had been seen mooning about the lanes
| every time she rode out. But his lordship
wn3 a robust widower, who could
J only talk intelligibly of shorthorns; and
Mr. Dewduey had a head of hair which
! spemed to be on tire.
So things went on. One wasdismissed
with a smile, another with a sigh; but
the girl made no choice till she was
more than five-and-twentr, when her
, mother began to look grave.
"Pooh, pooh!" gr-w.ed the colonel,
when his wife broached the subject,
'Quemie' can marry hall England
when she pleases."
He would never allow treason to be
spoken against his darling; and, indeed,
he was constant) v dodged about the cqVr i
ert side on hunting-days b><
, admirer's, who only waVrrrflvword of
| encouragement to j&biare themselves,
p??jJttrsT Morton'was silenced but not con.
vinced. and she next spoke to the young
. lady herself; but her daughter only
blushed a little and declared that her
, home was too nice to run away from it.
" Humnb!" said her mother, drvlv.
About this time Miss Morton, who
. had been reading a great deal concernj
ing artistic furniture, imbibed a taste
[ for house decoration, and not hing would
f serve her but that the ceiling of her
, own room should bo painted with an
' elaborate device of her own inagming.
, Her design was appropriate and well
I chosen, but far too complicated for any
, of the local workmen. so the colonel
j wrote to one of the great firms in Lon.
don to send down a special artist.
A lew days afterward there arrived a
. youug artist with the appearance of an
Italian gentleman and the manners of I
, good society. He spoke with a, foreign j
, accent, but he also spoke perfectly good j
English, and lie was introduced to the '
colonel as the most expert decorator i
known in the business.
I When tjie awkwardness of having so i
| smart a laborer about the house had a j
little -warn off, lie was supplied witn tne |
necessary materials for his task, and \
then, day after day, might be ser-n lyins :
on a sort of cradle he had made with
ropes to a scaffolding set up in Miss
MortonV. Drivate room.
She folly explained her plan to him,
and she saw with delight that he was
working it out with a brilliancy and
elegance such as she had scarcely dared
to expect. Whenever she looked at his
work as it went on she felt a new sur-1
prise and enchantment.
His name was Carmelo Williams, he
j said, for his mother only was Italian;
j and he wa^ not offensively garrulous in
any way. I?ut he had dark, lustrou3
I eyes, and a soft, cxressing voice, which
i gave extraordinary expression and even
j pathos to his language. When he was
alone lie sane?sang with a marvelous
i melody which comca only of inborn
{ genius.
Aurora listened, at first timidly and
furtively, then entranced; then, heaven
i know?, perhaps magnetized. It was
| beautiiul summer weather. The rose
and lilac were ablossom and ablow, the
i scent of the lush woodbine came with
an intoxicating odor through the windows,
and those wondrou* songs of the
i i youne painter made the air alive with
> music.
> 1 She fled with him before his fask was
I over; and they were married. Married
i in Scotland, at a border village; and
when the willful thing was done the
, p-irl found, on her return to the inn where
r they had halted, a newspaper which
, told of her father's sudden and dangerous
iilne?s.
, The colonel's anguish had, indeed,
, been terrible, and when ho knew exactly
what had happened he had fallen down
| as a stricfee:i stag might do. and now
i hovered between life and death.
! "1 must go nome at once.- sain me
! girl to her newly-made husband; and
I there was a decided ring in her voice
; which permitted no dispute "You
j must remain here, sir, till I send for you
I or come to you."
The painter had no time to gasp out
, his astonishment, for before ho could
i protest she was gone; and, taking the
, j tirst train, she never stopped in her
, | journey till she kneeled in her bridal,
! dress, all disarranged, at her father's
,; feet.
, j He had rallied partly, and he, with
J her mother, sat hand-in-hand, their
[ j faces very pale and wan. A big tear
|j from thn old soldi rV fyrs fell upon lier
j forehead like molten lire.
,| "Oh papa! papa!" sue cried, in a
I < very ecstasy of grief, " I am come homo!
I I will nevrr leave it again. J have
! married him because I knew he wouid
;! never dare to contradict you!"
Beauty Beforo Age,
An amusing incident occurred on a
Cleveland street car the other day. A
woman of fifty, made up to look about
twenty-five years old, got aboard at a
crossing to lind every scat occupied.
I She stood for a moment and then select!
ing a poorly-dressed man about forty|
five years of aije she observed:
"Are there" ?ny gentlemen on the
! car P"
i ,f Indeed, I djnno,"he replied, as he
i looked up and down. " If there hain't,
i and you are going clear through, I'll
s hunt up one for you at the end of the
> line."
i There was an embarrassing silence for
i a moment, and then a light broke in on
i him all of a sudden, and lie rose and
3aid:
r "You can have this seat, madam. I
j am always perfectly willing to stand up
and give my seat to anybody older than
> myself."
t That decided her. She gave him a
( look which he will not forgot to his
. dyins day, and grabbing the strap, she
j refused to sit down, even when five
5 seats Lad become vacant.

Diphtheria.
Diphtheria is Generated by breathing
impure air, such as comos from d:imp j
apartments, dirty c Hare, gutters, sinks. |
decaying matters, poews 01 staniung ,
liquids and other sources of filth. It is P]
usually confined to persons from two to ,ri
fifteen >ears of ago. The atmosphere, r?
the breathing of which causes the dis cc
ease, sroms to bo full of living things, :u
vegetable and animal, the bacteria and "
miooccppins, some of which lodae in the
throat and form white splotches, which ir
are distinctive of the malady, ar.d whose 1)1
presence qu'ckly poisons the blood; al
hcnce there should not be a moment's
delay in sending for a physician, as the ?<
march of the disease is always rapid and ?
its virulence increases every hour. o
As with mo3t other diseases, diplithe- d
j rla is more likely to attack those whose 0
I symptoms have been debilitated b; ill- 11
I dess, poor diet, or any cause whatever. >
1 Anv irritnTion nf the throat nrenares ! S(
I the way for the disease. Any person j ^
i affected should he taken to an upper | d
j room, into which no one should come I JI
but those in perfect health, and who | "
I have not the slightest scratch or sore on j ?
any p:<rt of the body, particularly the ?
hand?. The room should be ventilated c
nil the time, all* discharges should be c
quiokiy removed, the clothing frequently ^
changed and at once covered with water ^
containing carbolic acid. v
Diphtheria taken from another person n
is more malignant than when generated P
by bad air. ' 51
TKEATMKKT OF DIPHTIIEKIA.
Take lrom two to live grains of chlor- ^
ate ol potash, put it far bark on the ?
tongue, allow it to melt gradually, and h
repeat every hour until a decided im- *
provemcnt takc3 phcc, which is usually v
in a few hours. One of the best plaus "
of treatment is the following:
OAUGLli.
Cliloiato ol pota?9!i, 2 drachms. n
Ilot wu'er, G ounces. c
a 4 drachma.
Creosote, 8 drops. h
Muriatic acid, 30 drops. U
This is to be used as a garg'c every thirty f
minutes. b
INTKKNALLY USE THE FOLLOWING REMEDY: ti
Chlorate ol potasea, 3 drachms. U
Water, 6 ounccs. V
Sugar, ' 1 ounce. b
Tincture oi muriatic acid, 2 drachms. i|
Dose?A teaepooniul every lour hours. V
It i3 claimed that the above treatment ?j
will curc nineteen cases out of twenty. Sl
The principal point is to lind out l;
what will destroy the bacteria. Tannin ft
will kill them in two hours. A solution e
of copperas, that is sulphate of iron, i
will kill them; also chlorine water and t,
dilute muriatic, sulphuric and nitric a
acids. If copperas js used as a garble it p
should not be used stronger than a piece p
half as lare;c as a nutmeg, dissolved in a t
pintol water; or a level teaspoonlul ot t
tannin dissolved in a teaspoonful of ^
warm water. But it is better to rely on r
chlorine washes above named, and it
would be u safe plan, should any mem- e
ber of the fanny have diphtheria, for ]
each of the others to garble the mouth E
ev(ry hour with chlorine solution. v
7r>stooH nf lisincr ?r>hit ions, a few trains
of either chlorate or potash, tannic acid
or coperas, known as sulphate of iron, ?
may be placed dry, far back on the c
tongue, *to dissolve gradually and spread
over the surfaces. It is a more dimple 2
method ol applying these remedies, and j,
would be more iikely to reach further a
down the throat and to remain longer r
in contact with the diseased surface than j
when applied in gardes or swallowed. a
These remedies are powerful to cure p
in proportion to the promptness with c
which they are used.?HaWs Journal of ?

Facts About the Plow. a
During a recent 1pc{ure Charles Carle- c
ton Coffin In the Rhode Island 'J
I of .1*20 the writer describes f1
MocoonV* OI.Pue Pi0V7 that, was in use in ?
M-tssachusetts called the '{old Colony " F
?i il S*IVS: * * It 'iiad u. tcu-fuu* C
beam andTolu- iWiir'Iahd side. The fur- t
rows which it makes stand up like the I
rib* of a lean horse in the month of c
March. Six of these plows cost me on ii
an average $5 each per annum to keep 2
the shares and coulters sharp, while the P
other parts cost $1 more, making $0 for I
each plow." c
The implement in use on my t
i father's farm in my boyhood was of t
| this description, made by the neighbor- ^
ing carpenter and blacksmith. It rc- v
quired a team of eight oxen to draw it, n
with a man riding on the beam to keep, ^
it in the ground, another to follow with a o
! mattock to improve its imperfect work. r
The first c.ist-iron plows made their u
appearance about 1835. There was a ti
strong prejudice against them on the P
| part of the farmer?a prejudice due a
i wholly to ignorance. It was said that i P
' cast-iron would poison the ground. a
About the year 1840 plows mnde g
their appcarance which were constructed h
with the best lines of draft T
From that time to the present a host si
of farmers and mechanics have set them- sv
selves to improve this implement of c
husbandry, till at last we have the gang ei
plow on iho Western prairie, drawn by
four horses, plowing five acrcs a day, v
the plowman no loncer walking, but y
riding?a monarch driving his team If
afield. a
In 166Gthc New York State Apricul- n
tural society conducted a series of trials s:
to ascertain what lines of draft offered ft
tho least resistance, and what form of c
plow would do the best work. In their ti
report it is stated that improvements to ^
that date had decreased the cost of plow- n
ing at least forty-two pir cent. Since
that report there has been a great ad- 1<
vaneeinthec onomies of husbandry. li
It is estimated that tho improvements P
have decreased the cost of plowing not ri
less than sixty per cent, during the ccn-1 c
tury. The entire acrcage under the | P
; plow, in the United States in 1678, is f:
! pstimatPd sit 140.000.000 acres. If WO I
assume that it cost one dollar per acre
j to plow land, and if the saving over
I former methods is even fifty pc-r cent., p
j we find it equivalent to ?70,600,000. So ti
| much por annum which invention is ]|
accomplishing in this line of husbandry. f(
j The great want ot the agriculturist to- t]
I day is the steam plow, or some method r
; by which plowing can be done more ex- p
} neclitiously tlmn with horses. I trust, j]
however, that no one in this audience j p
i will rush hurriedly to invent a plow to u
! he driven by steam. h
I I saw a steam plow in Illinois, upon a
; which mnny thousands of dollars had j]
i been expended, but which was so cum- s
i bersome that it could not be made to c
I work. I saw a steam machine in Cali- a
I fornia,in 1863, which cost 840,000; by 0
i the aid of horses it went once arross a '|
I Held ana then whs thrown asiae. i saw f(
! another in Minnesota.in 167u, which Imd ^
! cost $25,000, and which alter a few trials t
; \vft3 broken up for oid iron. Two gen- t
i tlemon in England have spenteach move r
! than m quarter of a million dollars in g
! the attempt to produce a steam plow \
i which would traverse the field, but j
I have not succeeded. The steam plow ^
, in use in Enyiand is drawn by a station- ^
i :iry engine using a wire rope. It is not t
so economical as horse power, but a t
larger acreage can be put in per day. [

FARMIVtt ON A BIG SCALE.

IIo-.v It is Man aged.
Mr. William F. Iralryrnple, who, with
is brother owns the largest wheat farm
i the world, near Fargo. Dakota, was
.'cently interviewed in Milwaukee by a
^respondent of the Chicago Times,
id the description which he gave of
is manner of workingand the statistics
JIIIIUULL'U iiiUit'W i'.lii 1 WILLI i|UiLC imui v.k'u
ig reading. lie said that the past year
e bad harvested 22,000 acres of wheat
nd nearly 2.000 acre3 of other
ruins. The wheat had yield\
at the rate of twenty-three
ushel9 to the acre, in the aggregate
ver 500,000 bushels, wliich had been
ispoHCil of in Buffalo at a clear profit
f over half a dollar a bushel?thus
laking the profit of the farm for the
car over $250,000. This, he said, was
uveral times what the land had cost,
"he wheat had been loaded on the cars
irectly on being threshed and taken to
>aluth, whence it wa3 shipped to Buftlo,
where it sold at an .average price
f nearly SI.25 a bushel. The freight
:om Fargo to Buffalo had not much Greet
ded twenty cents per bushel. The
ost price of raising the wheat to the
ime of loading it in the cars Had been
Ity cenls a bushel. When asked
whether his system of farming would
ot eventually run out the land, he relied
that it would noi necessarily, since
s soon us the land showed signs of dccriorating
it could he changed into pasurea,
and would be better than new
round for the purpose, as it would
iave become solid from the cultivation.
'arL of the farm his been under cul'.iation
live years, and thin had yielded
otter than the newer land. The only
xuit the iand has at tirst is that it is
30 rich, and it is, of course, an improvelent
to it to rcauce its fertility to a
ertain extent.
During the past year, he said, they
ad not broken quite as much iand as
sual, only 4,000 acres. Previously beweer.
5.000 and 6,000 acres h?.d been
roken annually, and it was the intenion
to continue breaking at this rate
ntil the whole 75,000 acres of land
rhich they owned should have been
roughr, urnler cultivation, or as much of
: as could be spared from meadows,
rhich would be needed to supply the
orses used m wording tnc larrn. xnese
t present number 400, and wiil probably
lave to increase with the growth of the
tirm, as it was quite doubtful if steam
ouid be made to take their place,
"his has been done successfully in
tireshing, straw being used as fuel, but
.11 attempts to plow with the sleau^
'lows manufactured in this country had
roven failures, chietiv, lie thought, beauae
ihcy are operated on t ie locomoive
plan and are not adapted to the
triable condition ol the soil, and are
tioru expensive than horses. In Eng
and the plows are drawn by stationary
ngines with chain attached, and ho heieves
that if steam plowing can be
aade practicable on his farm it is in this
?ay. The experiment will be made
his year, but he doubted whether it
7oultl be found prolitable, as horses
vould still be required on the farm .for
utting grain and hauling it to market.
The litrm is divided into tracts of
,000 acres each, and each of these tracts
a provided with a set of farm buildings,
,nd is presided over by a foreman, who
eceives a salary of $100 per month durog
the working season, or $1,000 per
nnum, whiie ordinary laborers ure
aid $18 per month. Me has exclusive
havgc of his tract, and is held responible
for its management. It had been
ound that a spirit of emulation arises
ictween the dillerent foremen, and they
.re usually as anxious lor a heavy yield
?f grain as though they owned the land,
"here is no opportunity left, however,
or peculation on the pai t of the foremen,
s three sets of books are kept and other
irpcmitinns tnkpn to prevent anything
1 ike kind. Mr. Daiirymple spoke en*
husiastically of the great wheat belt
ying in what might be callcd the basin
if Lake Winnipeg. Hi3 /arm is situated
n the valley of the Red River of the
forth, which empties into Lake Winning
and on the linn of the Northern
'acific railway. This valley, iie said,
ontains an area of wheat land fully
hrc-e times as large as Wisconsin, wh::le
o the northward of this, in British
Lmorica, is the valley olthe Saskatcbejan,
with an area of 4d0,000 square
ailes, or more than ten times that of
Jew York State and fully three-fourths
f which is well adapted for wheat
aising. Throughout this whole extent
f territory the climate and soil are all
liat could be desired, and the wheat
roduced is the finest in the world, being
ii "liarci ' ana coaimuuumg uicu^u<.DK
vice. The climate is cool in summer
ad dry after harvest, so that the two
reatest dangers to wheat raising and
arvesting?heat and rain?are escaped,
'he outlet for this immense region, he
lid, would be by way of Lake Superior,
tid there is nu piobability that it will
vcr, to any great extent, be shipped to
ither Milwaukee or Chicago.
He stated that the heavy rate of profit
rhich his farming operations had
ielded the preseut year were due, in a
irge measure, to the .size of his farm,
nd that small farming c-uld not be
lade to pay as well, there being the
arne gain of profit in running a large
irm over a small one that there is in
onducting a larse manufacturing esabflfehment
compared with a small
ne, and to the fact that iris land is imlediately
on the line of the railroad, and
lie gruin did not need any storage, being
>aded on the cars at once. Still, he beeved
that grain can be raised at a good
vntft, nnvv/bere throughout the tract
sfcrrcd to, unci stated"that when he
e.nbcs to clear more than live dollars
er acre yearly he wiil do no more
inning.
Danger in Eating Quail#
A recent issue cf the Washington Re*
ublican says: A Republican repre3entaivc
ran against a well-known Nimrod

allowing story: " It will be recollected
bat at the time Buchanan was inaususitcd
a large number of persons were
oisonedata certain prominent Washogton
hotel. The winter immediately
receding the inauguration was an unisually
hard one. The proprietor of the
iotel, to please his guests, had procured,

.'he birds have been starved

ipou such berries and buds as make
heir llesh poisonous. The deep snows

tceiving their usual sustenance Jrom

Free and Ea*.y Manners.
When girls assume a swaggering runner
upon the street, use coarse expresions
and greet each other with a rough
hello!' they cannot expect much dc'reneo
from their uiale lriend3. A
idy's manner always controls that of a
entleman; and if ?he does not reject
erself he will not rcspect her. When
oy3 and girls, young men and maidens,
re allowed to fail into the absurdities
f low, foolish, meaningless talk, it
serns to dwarf them intellectually;
hey can find nothing ot interest or imortance
to say, and therefore make up
jtsense by filling every sentence with
eedless exblamations, exaggerations,
r misused adjectives. It require- much
atience to be compelled to listen to half
dozen folks and hear the r. trance, inppropriate
use of language. They will
ssure each other that it is "awfui"
/arm, or the concert "awful" nice; the
ermon "horrid" dull; a young lady is
awful'' pretty," but her dress is "Jiorid
ugly;" the teacher " horrid strict,"
uch a young gentleman who called had
n "awul sweli" team of fast horses. If
oung people could hear themselves as
Ihers hear them, it might result in
icir reformation.

Spiders'and Tuning Forks.
Last autumn, while watching some
piders spinning tlieir beautiful geonetrical
webs, it occurred to me to try
vhat effect a tuning fork would have ii
iponthem. On soundirg an A fork and J
iglitly touching with it any leaf or other *i
upport of the web or any portion of the ?
?eb itself, I found that the spider, if at *
he center oi the web, rapidly slews
ound so as to face the direction of the n
ork, feeling with its fore feet along; *
rliich radial thread the vibration travls.
Having become satisfied on this
oint, it next darts along that A
tiread till it reaches either the fork it3lf
or a junction of two or more threads, be
right one cf which it instantly determines
as before. If thfi fort in not reloved
when the spider has arrived it
^emstohave the same charm as any
y; for the spider seizes it, embracca it,
ad nuns about on the legs of the for ask
fcen as it is made to sound, never seernlg
to learn by experience that other
lings may buzz besides its natural
>od~. p
If the spider is not at the center of the
reb at the time that the I'ork i3 applied, Jf?
cannot te!i which way to go until it i.i
as been totheconter to ascertain wtiich
idial thitad is yjhiVJr.'r, ur.lesi of Vc
jurse it should happtu to be on that ?
articular thread or on a stmched sup- ?i
Drting thread in contact witLt the fork. V
By means of a tuning-fork u spider r0
iay be made 1o eat whatit would other- ? '
ise avoid. I took ft fly that had been
rowned in parallin and put it into a 1
>ider's web and then attracted the
>ider by touching the fly with the fork, aj
fhon the spider had come to tl'e con- w
usion that it was not suitable food and L
as leaving it, I touched the fly again. |_
his had the same eflfccr. as bjfore, and JH
\ often as tlje spider Ik g:m to leave the
j I again touched it, and by this means
impelled the spider to eat a largo nor- F(
