Mrs. ofl Norris was a hard-working larmer's sh wife, "with a house full oi cnildren,*and sh with very scanty means to supply their tal wants. Her wealthy wiaowed sister had been on a short visit to her, and the sei night before she left said: afl "I think, Mary, you better let me wl take Cara to educate. Grace is fourteen ar years old, and sh^can help you with the th ooys. Cara doesn't si em to be of much < use anyway, for I notice she's a terrible b< little shirk when there's any house wot k ge to be done.

Mr. Norris, howewr, though a sei plain farmer and with little education, co had a deal ot hard practi al sense, and tir he at first demurred. ail " I do not think it will do the girl any mi good to bring her up above her own mi station in liie, Mrs Donald, one 11 be wi tauRht extravagant a*bits, and I'd like he to know what good su.li habits will do her when she is left without means to in, gratify them.

Six years passed. Upon one pretext ar< or other, Cara did not return home even sb on a visit. The .distance wa3 too great taj for the busy farmer or his wife to take ?e time for a trip to the city.

Her letters were brief; merely duty letters, vary con- clc strained and artificial. But when she ed was eighteen, and had left school, her go atber in3i3ted that she should visit her an home. loi It was a visit that gave no pleasure to no anyone.

From the first there was no hope of bo her recovery, and in a state of semi- to consciousness she drifted into a world m, lor which she had made no preparation. j9g Her son, a worldly and avaricious i man, who had never approved of his M mother's whim of adopting Cara, and ju( did not like the girl,sent her home as soon an - as possible after the funeral ceremony. ^ " I've written for your father to come gr for you, Cara," he said, within a week niter the funeral.

He left tne room, leaving tne girl con- wr, vulsed with grief, less for the dead aunt am than for the luxurious home from which a b she was thus summarily expelled. She j would have humbled herself, and borne anything to be allowed to remain where ion she was. When her father came for her, she had exhausted her tears, and had fallen Into a state of sullen despair. I "Seems to me you're more sulky than the orry, Cara," her father sp.id, as they bui jogged on in the spring-wagon, a mode the conveyanoe which had brought ish of shame to the girl's cheeks a e was lifted into it.

Cara glanced s e bare floor, the white cotton curtail the windows, the home-woveu bed read, and the cherry bureau, with il lail mirror, and throwing herself int ihair, burst into a passion of tears. "I wish I was dead! I wish I ws ad!" she sobbed. "I never can b .ppy a^ain, never! never!" Grace understood her very well, bt nsibly chose to misunderstand. "C urse you'll miss your aunt terribly s st, Cara," she said; "but then, aftc I, you've come home to our ow Jther. I can't fancy a child c Dther's missing any one Ion? whe 3 have her.

As I intended to plow under part of the field, I esti|l mated that the amount of vegatable 3t matter, oountine the stumps and all, ie would not be less than forty tons per acre to use for green manuring, and as this was a heavier growth than I could expect to get from anything else tlian e that for the purpose, I was in hopes to .'p find that it would do the land >r the most good. To plow un,r Her such a urop and have it all covered je deep and niceiy under ground required some practice. I did it in the following ?- WJfK o Ahoin Q f-PRm Wftq M ] IllttUUUl TT 1CLI C? VUMAU ' ' nitched to the rear of the farm roller, | ' and sis thev were drivine alongside the g standing corn the roller was made to >t crush the corn flat to the ground by a ? man holding the tongue and steering it. j In this way it was laid down in a way , fit for plowing. Then with a large plow L' and wheel coulter I was able to turn it t under deep and nice. After plowing (it being abou? the first of September) the furrows were rolled down, dragged ^ and sowed to rye, thinking to plow that under the spring in time for planting the whole field to potatoes, and expectj ing then to Bee a marked difference in the crop in favor of this picce with ' these two green crops plowed ~L under, compared with the field having no manure. But in this I was much disappointed, for I nave ^ not to this day seen any difference in the way of making this better than the j? remainder of the field. Alter plowing ' in a clover crop in the same way,I have, '3 after a week, found it rotting fast un? der the furrow; but this corn, after three weeks, seems to be about as green 13 as when first plowed under; and again, ,e after six weeks, found it was not rot. ting, so that finally, after plowing un^ der the rye the followinc spring, I had " to run the plow very shallow to avoid ? tearing up the tough and partlv green :r stalks of the sound corn. By this I was af pretty well convinced of its keeping >r qua'ities when buried underground or n packed in the soil, as is so much reN commended in the practice of ensilage. As to the value of such corn for feed~ ing purposes, I find it worth most to fd feed green from the field to cattle and horses in August anr September, when the pastures are becoming dry and te>-d 11 short, men, it any is ierc, cm ana stand it into large sacks to remain until 11 about the time they are wanted to feed 'If in the winter, unless it was cut and a stored in a green state a3 referred to above or winter green food. 11 In conclusion, I wish to state that "" although the plowing under of sowed * seed seemed rather a failure in enriching the 1'tnd, still I have great faith in ' ereen manuring that it will enrich our ' land the cheapest of any, and for the purpose would use of all clover; but if J" that failed, would immediately after "e harvest till the stubble and sow it to rye oi oats to plow under. I find two ? great reasons for doing tbis, for I thus >r obtain a good, clean vegetable growth to plow under, and also by preoccupying the land with such a crop it is kept 1 from seeding itself to loul grasses ana h weeds, to be a detriment to the land; for ? I find the manure is always ready to 'e soon start something growing there, if I should fail to. I also after any hoed o crop sow it again in the same way when y there is time to obtain any reasonable n growth?to oats if only for a fall growth, or to ryo if it can remain until some a time into the next spring. ^ aralcbinR. , . correspondent, of the American ~ I A IT _ on me iinixjrituioe fe T>i mulcting, says: Upon a dry and ,h rocky hillside, in the town of Shrewsg bury, Mass., stood an orchard. The (j trees were old and had not given a good )f crop of apples for several years. The h owner, having a large quantity of hay, j0 drew it to the field and pjaced it around 8 the trees to the depth of twe.ve inches, ^ covering the whole ground occupied by the trees, omitting every alternate row. )r This was done in the month oi July, d The next year every tree where the )V mulch was applied, was loaded with J large and fair apples, while the trees t had made a great growth of i? wood, and the leaves had a beautiful green and spring-like ap pearly ance; those without the mulch bore no ft fruit. The varieties were the same. a Covering the soil with a mulch is ^ valuable" in many ways, besides the dew cay of the material placed upon the ^ ground, of the added fertility of the manure or straw. A certain amount of . moisture must be retained in the soil to t allow the fibrous roots to feed to the best advantage. If there is more than ? the rpquired amount of water, the soil t_ is too cold for the best results, and the " air is excluded by the water to an ex. tent that prevents or retards chemical action. When ammonia escapes from decaying vegetation or from the soil and ? passes into the atmosphere, it does not 'y chemically unite with other substances, , but simply remains suspended, to be brought to the earth by the first rain.

Such in the unwritten law e ot human nature. In obedience to tais J law men and women are fonnd marry- i ing the world over. People want to marry, and marry they will, a some- ( body if they can, a nobody if they mast. This has been and must be to the end , ot time, whether the world grows bet- i ter or worse?wiser or more foolish. fi Marriage was instituted in the Garden t of Eden. God saw that it was not fit G for man to live alone, and so he formed a helpmeet lor him. In regard to the first marriage the speaker had no theory of his own, out gave a number of those j he had read. j The speaker emphasized the fact that i marriage is God's great law of happi- ] ness in this world, and wherever affec- ] tion, industry and virtue guard the do- j mostic hearth, it never fails of producing : the highest felicity men and women can know in this world. Bishop Taylor says: "If you are for pleasure, marry; j a good wife is heaven's last best gift to a man, his angel of mercy, minister of graces innumerable, his gem of many virtues, his casket of jewels." Old Bishop Taylor had a forcible way of putting things, but in tnis cose his language is the expression of tho world's best experience. Home, famih, society, civilization and happiness radiate from the sacred ordinance of marriage. True marri .ge is of the heart, sanctioned by civil enactments and religious ceremonies. The lecture was well received throughout. Neuralgia as a "Warning." The great prevalence of " neuralgia," says the London Lancet-or what com- . 1 4.1. - A. - -1 1J LA ( uioniy goes oy mat mime?siiouiu uc regarded as a warning, indicative of a low condition of health, which must j necessarily render those who are affected with'-;.tbi9 painful malady es- s pecially susceptible to the invasion of ] diseases of an aggressive type. This is ] a season at which it is particularly d - ] sirabJe to be strong and well furnished ] witb the sort of strength that affords a { natural protection against disease. ] There will presently be need of all the internal heat which the organism can ] command, and a good store of fat for use 1 as fuel is not to be despised. It is no less i essential that the vital forces should be { vigorous,and the nerve-power especially ( in full development. Neuralgia indi- i cates a low or depressed state of vitality, ' and nothing so rapidly exhausts the system as pain that prevents sleep and J agonizes both body and mind. It is, j therefore, of the first moment that i attacks of this affection, incidental to and indinn.t.ivft of a r.nnr and wfiak st.at.fl. f should be promptly placed under treatment. and, as rapidly as may be, controlled. It is worth while to note this fact, because, while the spirit of manliness Incites the " strong-minded " to patient endurance of suffering, it is not = wise to suffer the distress caused by this malady, as many are now suffering j it, without seeking relief, forgetful of tue condition it besppaks, and the constitutional danger of which it is a warning sign. [Keokuk Constitution.] Every Time, A man, or even a piece of machinery that does its work right every time, is we think, very correctly judged " valuable." And certainly none the less valuable is any article designed to relieve the ill* of mankind, and which does so every time. Messrs. Jones, Cook & Co., Bay State Brewery, Boston, Mass., write: We have used St. Jacobs Oil among our men and find that it helps them "every time." We therefore heartily recommend it as a pain-healing liniment; Everybody knows how hard it is to induce a boy to get up early in the morning.
