luraorous fepattmrnt. THE REAPER IN DARLINGTON. A reaper is a complicated apparatus. Before the parts are all adjusted they look like a collection of most incongruous elements. The ideas of a countryman on the subject are usually more or less confused. "While one was being set up the other day on the street a chap with a good deal of Lynch's River landscape about him had been smiling around for some time, when he ventured to inquire of the setter up: "I say, Cap., what in thunder is it any way ?" "Are you in the turpentine business, young man ?" says Cap. "Jest sorter slightly. None to worry. Nuth Ill glUlllU , "Well this, sir, is a Chickasaw pine slayer, a compound disintegrator of forest trees, thrice agonized and conjumbled to meet any emergency, however exciting." "Well, sir ! Sort of a queer trick isn't it ? Does it fly much on the average, Cap., with them wings on ?" "Fly ? "It's a regular ichtherium chrysanthemum on the fly. Flies like a meteoric skylight on the rubicund pinions of Orion. Beats the aurora boreora thirteen to the dozen." "It does, hey? Seems to be right smart toothified. What do you feed it on partic'lar ?" "Give it twenty-penny nails seasoned with diluted pig iron for breakfast; quarter section of saw mill for dinner, and Timmonsville market beef forged into balls for supper." "Give it a sight o' tonic, Cap. Powerful, llow does the plagued thing start ?" "Oh, it starts from the great electrical reservoir at Niagara Falls. The power comes along over the Blue Ridge Railroad corked up with young cavelets from Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, where they have direct cable connections with Niagara. Looking for a couple of cavelets on the evening train." "Dratted if it aint a stavin' hangup critter. "When d'ye reckon ye'll sail, Cap ?" "On Monday after the first full moon in the State of Connecticut, sharp. You'll see the notices stuck up on the railroad water shed." "Well, Cap., much obleeged. It's a wonderful fixin'?wonderful. P'raps I've been rather exquisite, but the tarnal old trap has just got away wi' me. Call around and see me, Cap., when you can, but just leave the machine, you know, behind, Cap., as I'm feared it might take to hankerin' arter my little plantation matters and ruin me, you know." And the Lynch's River chap walked away with a kind of sidelong movement expressing apprehension of being followed by something, in the uncertainty of the movement forgetting all about the toothache drops he had come to town after, and the cradle with three fingers gone and the general frame work badly askew, which he left at the shop for repairs three weeks ago; and when he got on his cart ready to drive off, as a covey of town frogs in the corner of the yard adjoining the reaj>er began an overture on the key of X with nine flats and fourteen sharps, there was the least disposition to look back and pause in his manner I have ever noticed.?Darlington (S.

"And in making change you gave her?" "NOj I didn't! I haven't had a quarter with a hole in it for a month !" "But ma says you gave her a?" "Don't believe it?don't believe it! I remember now ; I gave her a half dollar, a quarter and a nickel." "Ma says you gave her a gold piece for a penny, and here it is." "(rood gracious alive ! but so I did?so I did !

"Taste Less Medicine."?"You am de squarest man in Austin,"said old UndleMose, entering a drug store and touching the clerk, "I knowed right off you was a Christian, sah. No man in de drug business 'ceptin' a follower ob de Lord would hang out sich a sign as you has got. Hit shows you am a Christian fust, and a pizen mixer afterwards. I was jest spellin' it out. Hit am de best advice eber I got in a drug store." "What sign are you talking about, uncle ?" asked the somewhat bewildered druggist. "Dat ar," said the old man, pointing to a placard on the wall, which read "Tasteless Medicine."

"Thirty days," was the response. "Look lieali, boss, you gib me thirty days las' wiuter for the same 'fense, when de days was a heap shorter den dey is now. Ain't you gwine ter allow de usual discount 'on account ob de signs in de zodiackle ?" A look of intelligence appeared on the judicial, face, and spread all over it. "I de" clare, I forgot the days were not always of the same length. I'll make it twenty days solitary confinement instead of thirty." "Tell me dat book larnin' don't do a niggah no good. I gets out ten days sooner, all owin' to my habin' studied up de symptoms ob de zodiackle," remarked Jim Webster, as the constable led him off to jail. Self-accusation: "I aiu't got enough sense to vote at a ward election," remarked old Isom, yesterday. "Why?" asked a bystander. "Yer see, a nigger what keeps a bacon store at de udder end ob town give fifty cents premium on a silver dollar made last year. I tuk a dollar wid de correck date, an', goin' to de store, handed it ter him, and tole him ter gin me de premium. He looked at de dollar, handed me fifty cents and dropped it in de draw'r.

"What is it, my son ?" said the pious man. "Just this," said Pat. "Will yez have me buried in a Jew's burying ground ?" "A Jew's burying ground 1" exclaimed the astonished priest. "Why, Pat, it's losing your sinses that ye are." . "Faix then, but I'm not ; sure It's the last place the devil would look for an Irishman." a stuny of Wrinkles.?John Owens said to "Gath" that the best women he had ever known were a little cranky on their age, especially when their daughters are growing up. He referred to one old lady who had a married son and several marriageable daughters, and who related that she was married very young, when she was not much more than fourteen, and the interlocutor looking at her wrinkles, she said: "I'll tell you how these came?on my father's side. My mother married a very old man." Very Frightful.?A clergyman in a neighboring city who had just been installed and who was searching the town over in vain for a house to live in, began his prayer very innocently on the next Sunday as follows: "Oh! Lord, we are wanderers here below. Thou knowest we have no abiding place." Many of his congregation who knew of his fruitless endeavors in house-hunting could not help smiling quietly at the truthfulness of his remark. Pat's Theology.?Bob Ingersoll said the strongest proof that he ever had of future punishment he got from an Irishman, whom he found beating a snake. He watched him for some time, when he said : "Pat, what are you pounding that snake for ? it has been dead a long time ?" The Irishman answered : "Bedad, and it's meself that knows that; but I want to tache the haythen that there is punishment after death." 1 Miscellaneous Reading. THE TROUBLES OF BEING A WOMAN. Upon tlie whole, it is a dreadful thing to be a woman, and do the bussiness up in good shaj>e. In the first place, you've got to look well, or else you're nobody. A man may l>e hoinely and still be popular. Whiskers cover up the most of his face, and if he has got a large mouth, nobody mistrusts it ; and, if he wrinkles bad on his forehead, his friends speak of his many cares, and of his thoughtful disposition, and tell each other that his wrinkles are lines of thought. Lines of thought, indeed ! when, in all probability, his forehead is wrinkled by the habit lie has got of scowling at his wife when the coffee isn't strong enough. A woman must always be in good order throughout. Her hair must lie frizzed and banged as fashion demands and she must i>owder if she has a shining skin ; and she must manage to look sweet, no matter how sour she may feel, and she must hang just so, and her laces must be always spotless, and her boot buttons all in place, and fingernails clean, and she musn't whistle nor climb fences, nor stone cats, nor swear when she is mad. She can't r*n nut alone I localise ladies must be protected. She can't go anywhere when it rains because her hair won't stay crimped, and she'll get mud on her petticoats, and things. She can't be a Freemason, because she would tell their secrets, and everybody would know all about that goat and that gridiron. She can't smoke because it wouldn't be feminine. She can't go courting because it is unwomanly. But she must get married before she is twenty-five, or everybody will feel wronged. People will sigh over her, and wonder why it is that men "don't seem to take," and all the old maids and widows will smile significantly? and keep quiet. Oh, these smiles, and these significant looks! They are ten times worse than open slanders ! It is a terrible thing to be an old maid?terrible ! Everybody knows it is, and the women who are married to drunken husbands, and who manage to quarrel with them six days out of the seven, will groan in agony of spirit over the single woman, and call her that poor old maid ! A woman must marry rich, or she doesn't marry "well." To marry well is the end of a woman's existence, judging from the view which people in general take of this matter. It is everybody's business who a woman marries. The whole neighborhood put their heads together and talk over the pros and cons, and decide whether she is good enough for him. And they criticise the shape of her nose, and the way she does up her hair, and relate anecdotes of how lazy her grandfather was, and how her Aunt Sally used to sell beans and buttermilk. A woman must wear Xo. 2. boots on Xo. 3 feet, and she must manage to dress well on seventy-five cents a week ; and she musn't be : vain, and she must be kind to the i>oor, and go regularly to the sewing-society meetings, and be ready to dress dolls, and make aprons and tidies for church fairs. She must be a good cook, and she must be able to "do up" her husband's shirts so that the heathen Chinese washerman would groan with envy and gnash his teeth with the same unholy passion, at sight of them. She must always have the masculine buttons A* - * 1 4-1. ~ 4- w;ii Ill UlU liuuiiv st;wen uu su uiat tney ncvci mu come off while in use, and she must keep the family hosiery so that nobody would mistrust that "there were toes inside of the stockings when they are on. She must hold herself in continual readiness to And everything her husband has lost?and a man never knows where anything is. He will put his boots carefully away on the parlor sofa, and when he has hunted after them half au hour, he will appear to his wife with a countenance like that of the avenging angel, and demand to know "What in the thunder she has done with his boots ?" She must shut all the doors after her lord and master, and likewise the bureau drawers, for a married man never was known to shut a drawer. It would be as unnatural as for a hen to go swimming for recreation. She must go to bed first in cold weather, so as to get the bed warmed. Her husband, if he be a wise man, never asks her to do this, but he sits up "to finish a piece in the paper," and waits while she gets the sheers to a comfortable temperature. Ah, there are are a good many tricks in the trade of what is called living together !" A woman is expected to take care of the baby, even after the first infantile wonder multiplies into a round dozen. And if he doubles up with the colic, or the trials of cutting teeth, necessary evils of the mumps, and measles, and whooping cough, and scarlet fever, and rash, and throat distemper, and short sleeves, and bare legs, and pins sticking into him, and too much candy and a bad temper, why her husband tells her that "he does wish she'd try and quiet the baby !" And he says it just as if he fully believed that she alone was responsible for its being in existence ; and as if he thought she was considerably to blame for it, too. And when she has the headache, nobody thinks of minding it ! A woman is always having the headache ! And if she is "nervous enouerh toflv."nobodvshuts the doors anv eas ier on account of it, or tucks her upon the lounge with a shawl over her, or coddles her to death, like a man has to be coddled in such circumstances. We might go on indefinitely with the troubles a woman brings ; and if there is a man in the world who thinks a woman has an easy* time of it why just let him pin on a pound of false hair, and get inside a new pair of corsets, and put on a pullback overskirt, and be a woman himself, and see now he likes it. The South and Gaufield.?The New York Times contains the following editorial, which suggests the inquiry, Would the murdered President have proved himself afriend to the South ?? There is something curious in the feeling attributed to the Southern people in relation to the Administration of General Garfield and that of his successor. The hopes which are said to have centered upon the former seem rather to have been born of the sympathies awakened by its tragic ending than to have been founded on rational expectations at its beginning. Exactly what was expected of General Garfield by the South it would be hard to say or to surmise. Perhaps it simply hoped to be let alone, but we imagine that it was the succession of Arthur, whose purposes the Southern people distrusted, that gave birth to the idea that Garfield would have been in any peculiar sense ineir uetieiacior. Whatever foundation there may be for the Southern sentiment on this subject, it is evident that the change of Administration had a depressing effect on the liberal tendency in the South, if that tendency really existed a year ago. The people . there do not seem to have greeted the new President with much confidence, and his course has not increased it. One thing is quite clear. The method of winning support by endeavoring to make the patronage of the Government a constructive force in politics is not successful in promoting National feeling and overcoming local or sectional prejudices. It rather drives people back to their old lines and strengthens the distrust which needed to be overcome. Machine politics and agencies of party organization cannot be made a means of developing sentiment or setting regenerative influences at work. Pi?nn?TT\i,?\Tnr' at> flu ? vnr A lonrMurr mar.

Emerson given him, which he improved, and sat without moving a muscle till the close, apparently delighted. The lecture was upon "chance," in which the lecturer took almost if not quite evangelical ground regarding mysterious providences which control human affairs, though not maybe, in the same terms. Chance, however, as an agent, was atadiscount, but not an impossibility, and full of the beautiful parts which he had comprehended, the dry-goods man next day was enthusiastic in his explanation. "Well," said he to a friend, "I had a treat last night, let me tell you." "What ivas it ?" "Oh, Jim Gates gave me a ticket to hear George B. Emerson lecture." "You mean Ralph W. Emerson, don't you ?" "Yes, that's what I said. 'Twas capital " "What was the subject?" "'Chance,' and the way he handled it was masterly. His illustrations were very fine. For instance, a I ship on the sea with her sails blown away, her : rudder unshipped, the sea making a clear breach over her, and arriving in port, saved,! through it all. It was grand." "Well, did he i show how she was saved ?" "Yes, he proved i to a dot 'twas either by Providence or chance, ! but I couldn't exactly make out which." fUading far the CONDUCTED BT REV. ROBERT LATH AN. [Original.] SELF RESPECT. "We are so constituted that in order to have becoming resjiect for others, we must have proper regard for ourselves. The human being who is devoid of self-respect cares nothing for others. The man who has no respect for himself, deserves no respect to be shown him by others. He is a brute in human form. [Original.J 1)0 RIGHT. Xo pleasure is comparable to that which is enjoyed by the individual who is conscious that lie has done right. It is pleasant to succeed in any undertaking, but success unaccompanied with the consciousness of having done right, is not to be desired. It is a short lived pleasure at best, and is followed by bitter pangs. [Original.] ABSURDLY LOYAL. There are some persons who are never satistied to stand perpendicular. They must lean hack. They are intensely loyal to every cause they espouse?absurdly orthodox. Such men are not to be trusted. Unless they are granted the privilege of governing everything and everybody they will play the part of a spoiled child. The principles and practices for which thejr contend to-day they will fight against tomorrow. They are absurdly loyal. | Original.] THE TEST OF MEN. "By their fruits ye shall know them," says the Saviour. It is easy for men to talk about what they can do, and what they design doing, but does all this talk do the world any good. There is, in every community, some one individual whom the rest agree to call great. He is regarded as a wonderful creature. He is spoken of as.a man of fine natural abilities, as an individual of rare attainments, and when he dies a long epitaph is carved on his tombstone. It is difficult to discover how many of these men ever succeeded in making themselves famous. If it were asked what have they done ? The answer would be nothing. They lived and died. That was all. The world was not advantaged by their lives and suffered no loss when they died. They did nothing for either Church or State. In reality they were splendid failures. Some of them inherited large fortunes, which grew sublimely less every day. My Husband will not Accompany Me to Ciiurcii.?And why not ? Perhaps you have not tried to induce him; or, perhaps, seeing that your temper has been so little improved by church attendance that he does not deem it necessary. But admitting that you have tried, what then ? Must you follow his example, and stay from worship for weeks rt Should he even throw obstacles in the way, it is your duty to remove them, for though a wife should obey, her highest obedience is to God, whose laws are superior to all others, marriage itself deriving its authority from him. -'i.?ii 5- lx.,4. n fn lOUL' SIUIUUOU Jsuuuuweasnjuig, uuiuuu 2 grace will enable you to bear it; and an important means of receiving that grace is attending divine worship. Some wives suppose that by yielding in this respect they will at length persuade their husbands to attend, but the result is just the contrary, for, the wife yielding a principle once, her next step is more easy, and her husband seeing her violate conscience once, is more emboldened. Whereas, had she been linn, and shown by her temper not that she loved hei Jiusband less, but that she loved her God more, he would have more respected her, and perhaps would have been won over by her conversation. As regards domestic peace alone, a wife stands greatly in her own light who either neglects Church herself, or, attending it, does not influence her husband to go with her: without patience to meet the crosses that daily arise there can be no such permanent peace. And there can be no such peace in a family unless it comes from Lliin who is "the author of peace and lover of concord." It is so rare for a husband not to attend Church because the wife will not, that it is hardly necessary to consider such a thing; only, if Lot's wife chose to turn to a pillar of stilt, Lot must avoid her sad fate by fleeing tc the mountains. The Bee.?Gotthold saw a bee flutter for a while around a pot of honey, and at last light ui>on it, intending to feast to its heart's content. It, however, fell in, and, being besmeared in every limb, miserably perished. On this he mused and said: It is the same with temporal prosperity, and that abundance of wealth, honor, and pleiisure, which are sought for by the world as greedily as honey is by the bee. A bee is a happy creature so long as it is assiduously occupied in gathering honey from the flowers, and by slow degrees accumulating a store of it. When, however, it meets with a hoard like this, it knows not what to do, and is betrayed into ruin. In like manner, many a man shows himself godly, humble, pious, so long as he is obliged, from day to day, to earn his bread with the sweat of his brow, and constant difficulty and toil. Let some extraordinary turn of fortune, however, suddenly put him in possession of great wealth and it becomes a stair by which he descends to the pit of destruction. A bee perishing like " * 4 * ?:? i tills, 111 a pot ot nonty, migut uc piviutcu *>itu the motto, "Abundance is my ruin." What, then, O my God ! ought I to desire ? A great fortune might prove to me a great misfortune, and abundance issue in eternal want. Grant me grace that, like a bee, I may diligently labor in thy fear, and not in vain, for the portion of bread convenient for me. In other respects be thou my wealth, and then I shall be exempt from danger.?GotthoUVs Emblems. Begin Right.?Begin the day right. As we are about to enter upon its duties we know not of what trial or temptation may await us. We know not to what tests we shall be subjected. This we know, that each day brings sufficient of temptation to secure our downfall unless we are sustained and buttressed by God's grace. Hence, we need to begin the day by going up on the mountain summit and meeting with God. The reason why we so frequently fail and have to lie down and weep over our mistakes and our follies, is that we fail to get into close, pulsating union with God at the beginning of the day. Begin life right. Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth before the evil days come, or the years draw nigh in which thou wilt say, "I have no pleasure in them." These days are coming. The sunny days of childhood and youth will not last forever. The tlowers will not always bloom along life's lvit.hwjiv. Dark davs will come. Rude storms will smite the fair flowers of worldly pleasure. We must then find our happiness and rest in God. Let the celestial sunlight fall upon thy heart; plant the flowers of Christian hope and virtue along life's pathway. That light will ever remain ; those flowers will grow forever. Western ltecorder. Genteel Lying.-?"Speak every man the truth with his neighbor"?Eph. 4, 25. Mr. Finney, in his Revival Lectures, tellsof a minister who was once boarding in a certain family, and the lady of the house complained to him a good deal that she didn't get much comfort out of Iter religion, and nothing seemed to help her. One day some ladies called, and she protested that she was very much offended because they had not called before, and pressed them to spend the day, declaring that she could not consent to let them go. They excused themselves, however, and as soon as they were gone she said to her servant that she wondered those people had so little sense as to always be troubling her and taking up her time. The minister overheard it, and immediately told her that he could now see why she did not enjoy religion. Let us beware of these fashionable insincerities. We can be civil and sincere at the same time. One thing is certain?the Spirit of Truth cannot abide with one who habitually indulges in even genteel lying.?The Presbyteritin. ggr Piety is not for Sundays only, but for all days ; spirituality of mind is not appropriate to one set of actions and an impertinence and intrusion with reference to others, but, like the act of breathing, like the circulation of the blood, like the silent growth of the stature, a process that may be going on simultaneously with all our actions. fbe |atm and Jfimide.j* how to manage a kitchen. "A clean kitchen makes a clean house," is a i saying which has a great deal of truth in it. 1 As all the food of the family has to be prepared j I in the kitchen, and as most working people . have to take their meals and sit in the kitch- j en?indeed, as the one-day room has to be parlor, kitchen and all to many honest families? y it ought to be clean and neat, or it will not be ei comfortable and healthy. First of all, the | window and the fire-place must l>e clean and j bright. No room is cheerful with a dirty fire- j place. Eveiy morning the room must be care- i fully swept, and any hearth-rug, mat or piece j Via VnlrAn Allf flAAPO Qiul KfiClf ! UJL Uiapt't UlUOt UC trtn.cn v/uu ui uuw*o uuu wiiv daily. The hearth must be cleaned every day and the stove brushed, the fire-irons rubbed with a leather once a week at least, the grate A must be blackleaded, and the fender and irons thoroughly polished, and all well scoured down twice a week. Cupl>oards want great care to keep them free from dust, cool and neat. ' Supposing there are two cupboards, one on J each side of the fire-place, it is well to keep j one for stores, groceries, etc., and one for : crockery. .Everything should l>e clean that is j put in the cupboards, and there should be a I q place for every different thing, so that if you j wanted anything, even in the dark, you could C lay your hand upon it. lie sure, whether you I keep the lids bright or not, to keep the inside of every pan or pot used in cooking so clean that it is perfectly dry and sweet. If you neglect this you may be the cause of poisoningyourself and your household. Many families have been poisoned by food being cooked in dirty pans. Besides, even if food is not made | poisonous, it is spoiled by not being cleanly cooked. Be very particular about this. It is a good plan to have-a^ar of soda in some handy place, where you can, whenever you wash up, take a bit and put it in the water. It is very cleansing, and both crockery and tins washed in hot water, with a bit of soda in it, will be sure to shine and be sweet. All tins should be polished once a week. Kitchen towels require good management. It is a very 4 nasty habit to be careless about towels. Tea things and glass should be wiped with a thin, . coarse towel kept for that purpose. If you have a plate rack over the sink, plates should be washed in hot water, rinsed in cold, and put to drain in the rack ; but if you have no rack you nulst wipe the plates ; keep a good dish-cloth to wash them with, and a good coarse towel to dry them with, and use your dish-cloth and your dish-towel for nothing else. Fish Farming.?By attaching a pump pro- j pelled by the wind, to a well, says the St Paul Pioneer Press, you can supply a basin from fifty to seventy-five feet in diameter and six to eight feet deep with water sufficient to raise several thousand carp or other fish. The cost f ' of this pond and appurtenances need not ex- [ ceed fifty dollars. The bottom and sides need to be cemented thoroughly. When the basin i is complete place in it a small quantity of brush or floating weeds. If you intend to raise carp do not place other fish of a predatoI ry character in the pond. The spawning will t occur (luring tne spring montns, rue iemaie t laying from fifty thousand to live hundred i thousand eggs. The eggs will adhere to what- '' ' ever they touch and will soon hatch. The a ; green scum of a partially stagnant pond is fine c food for the young fish. Mud in the bottom t of the pond is beneficial. The fish will feed i ! readily on kitchen garden refuse, such as cabbage, letttuce, hominy or other substances, r i Water seldom becomes too warm for these fish. ' During freezing weather they bury themselves i in the mud at the bottom of the pond. While i in tills condition they should not be disturbed. 1 > In a pond of given dimensions several thousand fish have annnually been taken. If weeds and grass grow profusely about the borders of the pond, so much the better for the fish. In two years' time, you cau have a constant supply of sport and food, and the advantage of a pond to assist in beautifying your home. Cooking a Culture.?Some claim that if ( . the entire thought isnot given to each minute, v . the bread will be burned or heavy ; the linen 1 , scorched ; the vegetables half cook^, and the steak parboiled instead of broiled. In reply j i to this assertion, I offer a few practical exam- I ; pies: Mrs. Stowe aspures us she wrote u Uncle l Tom's Cabin" while attending to her bread. 1 Marion Harland (Mrs. Terhune), the wife of 1 the pastor of the 1? irst Congregational Church, J in Springfield, Mass., planned the architecture j of their own liopie, and, although she had i amassed a large fortune by her pen, she is des- 1 i cribed, by a recent guest, as aa model wife 1 and mother." While her paintings adorn the { walls, and the furniture is decorated by her j i own hands, her kitchen is the crown of her home, for in this she is queen, and she affirms . the more a woman knows the better house- j ' keeper, wife and mother she can be. With all j these occupations, she has a class of forty ^ i young men in her husband's Sunday-school, l which numbers 500. Rose Terry Cooke, in her 1 old-fashioned country home, at Winstead, Con- } neeticut, is equally famous as a cook and a j ' j>oet. She not only writes charming poems j about her garden, but is up before sunrise to i i work in it. Her roses are her especial pride. I i Cleveland Herald. 1 Treatment of Permanent Pasture.? ^ The young grass resulting from last year's seeding should not be grazed till autumn. Two crops of hay may be taken from the land in the first season when the growth is very luxuriant. The first crop should be cut as early as possible, both on account of securing a superior article of hay and also for the benefit of the future crop. Frequent cutting checks the stronger grasses, and affords the more slender growing kinds a better chance, while all are thus encouraged to tiller out and form a good, . close sward. It should never be forgotten that f many of the finer grasses, if allowed to seed, d are not strictly permanent 011 all soils, and, j therefore, it is the most important always to I cut the hay before the seed is formed. Again, I if cattle are allowed to graze after the first I mowing, or instead of mowing, they will pick f out certain grasses and clovers, leaving others, j which in time seed or become coarser than is j desirable, and have a very unsightly, patchy 1 appearance. In after grass where grazing is I practiced, a scythe should be applied once or ^ twice during the summer to those patches of * grass which the cattle leave.?Cultivator. IIealthfulness of Fruit.?Fruit need 8 not be considered a luxury while apples are in the market; and they possess nourishing and medicinal properties of no mean order, i This is not a new statement, but it is one 1 that will bear repeating. It has been said, with a good deal of force, that a truth has to be proclaimed seven hundred times in the English Parliament before the least attention f is paid to it. It is known among editors, as it is among advertisers, that a similar rule i>revnils with rosuppt to what is nnblished in -?r""' ? ? r the newspai>er8. A raw, mellow apple is ordinarily digested in an hour and a half, while a boiled cabbage requires five hours; and again on authority, "apples, if eaten with breakfast, omitting meals for the time, have an admirable effect on the system, removing i indigeston, correcting the aciditities of the I stomach and cooling every febrile tendency." | How to Cook Rice.?Rice is becoming a much more popular article of food than heretofore. It is frequently substituted for potatoes at the chief meal of the day, being more nutritious and much more readily digested. At its present cost, it is relatively cheaper than potatoes, oatmeal or grain-grits of any kind. In preparing it only just enough cold water should be poured on to prevent the rice from burning at the bottom of the pot, which should have a close-fitting cover, and with a moderate fire the rice is steamed rather than boiled until it is nearly done ; then the cover is taken off, the surplus steam and moisture allowed to escape, and the rice turns out a mass of snow-white kernels, each separate ] ! from tlie other, and as much superior to the usual soggy mass, as a fine mealy jxjtato is superior to the water-soaked article. forh'ilU (?nquim.r TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: j Single copy for one year, *2 50 j For six months, 1 25 i For three months, 75 j Two copies one year, 4 00 : Ten copies one year, .* 20 00 i And an extra copy for a club of ten.
