TEAQH ME TO BE A LADY, MAMMA. 1 have seen Htlle girls before now asking for sugar-plums, and leasing for a coveted toy, or a new ribbon, but never before had I heard such a request come from childish lips. "Teach roe to be a lady, maiuma.' Then bow cheerfully that mother laid *side ber work and said : ,lI should Jove above all things, to teach "yon bow to become a lady, Nioa in the -strictest sgnse of the word, and I trust ytJO are taking lessons to that effect everj; day." 'Why, how can that he, mamma ! I'm <surel ha?n't- begun to play on- the pinna study Frenoh, or take drawing lessons either."

Having been requested by many friends f to give my plan of growing winter cabbage. 1 have concluded to do so through the columns of the Press and Messenger, that ' all who wish to enjoy the luxury of fine I large cabbage during the wintur at a small cost and trouble may do so. The main point in raising cabbage for winter' in this i climate, is to have them head up late in the ; fall and early in the winter. Ifthev head up earlier while the weather i3 hot they are most certin to rot. The seed must be planted in May or eari ly in June, and it requires much care and i atteution?not much labor?to secure the plants to lute in season. If not protected > from the sun they will die as fust as they . come up, Prepare a bed in partially shady loca'.iou, if possible ; have tho ground thorobghly pulverised, and if very well watered lay off the beds in small furrows, six or *even inchs apart ; the seed thick ; cover i them carefully with a rake, or the hand, whwti is better ; press the earth gently on oro, if th? locaton is much to the sun. The sbad^must not be too dense, or they ill run very spindling nud fall down. g, uplesa the weather is dam]). After they come up, remove the shade aduallv and continue to water occasionly if neessarv, until the plants are well oted; work them well and keep all a? aud weeds down. No one wbo is unwilling to bestow the opercare and attention, need undertake rjHBa cabbage plants at this sea?on of eyear. Plants raised in the spring and alwed to remain in the bed until the proper lienor transplanting will make good cabige, but not so good as planted later, le stalk becoroos too dry and hard. Tbey are to be transplanted in the ontb of August, and in tbo following anner : Dig boles tbo depth and width a spado, three feet apart each way ; fill em half fall of well rooted manure, first ittiog in ibe bottom a teaspoonful of 1 V-rui vihd Gun no, iflo be Had, thou fiH the hole , nearly-full with the top soil. All this must i bo dooo-iu readiness for transplanting duri wig the rains in August. ' Trani*plaut deep, up to the leaves, in the ) middle of the hole*. By this lima the > plante will have long shanks, the whole of wmcu musi oe put into me ground. A ) very good plat), if it is desired to raise i tlieiu on a large scale, is to lay oU' very . deep furrows with a larye turn plow, put s in the manure heavily, partially fill them, i transplant in them. They must be hoed frequently, once a week id not too i often, and always-in the moruing when the i dew is on-All cabbage should be thus hoed, r The bottom leaves must not be pulled, or - they will not head well. Upon the ap> proach of very, cujld weather turn them 3 down to the earth, and cover up all the - stalks, leaves and all, well with dirt, eufti. - ciently to hold them down, only leaving a out the top of the head. Thus r tti?ged i J.hey will continue to head during the r winter. It may be necessary to put some L -pine bark or straw over the head, to further 3 protect them If the weather is extremely. <90ld, though I rarely found it necessary >.

Iu Mr. John Timb'e ".Notablo j Things of Our Own Time" are I i some accounts of tho cutiosilics of I ! sciontific investigation?-among them I the Allowing conoorniug tho hour of 'death : Tho author had soleoted over 5,000 >cases of death and other circumstan-! ! ces recorded, which he had tabulated j. ; and exhibited on a largo chart, the I I different being distinguished by col- j orod diagrams. By that chart he j , showed that in ono thousand cases of { \ dcat'i in children under live years of age the periods ot tho greater mori tality took place botwonn tho hours | of 1 and 8 a. m.; that an cxtraordi' nary depression look plaee in tho j succeeding hours between 0 and 12 M.( and that tho ratio of mortality was | at its minimum.

Ho contended that the tables on j tho chart proved the extraordinary | mortality in the early hours of the ' the morning when tho powers of life wero at their lowest ebb, and, strange j to say, when tho patient was most. car??dior. lie urged tho necessity of feeding and stimulating tho patients at their weakest hour, so as to tide them over a critical period ; and even I lit death bo inevitable, to s.> suppoit J tho patiorit that he ini^ht at least | have a few hours more c?i life snatch? j ed from eternity, to admit ot his bej ing able ta carry out sumo nejjtleeled I ?'uiy, pardon sumo enemy, or hco ?o:ae } beloved iViend. ? o??

THE NEW WIFE, Mr. was a professor of religion and was considered quito a good man lie had Iho misfortune lo ludo bit) wife, who wus also pious. Having u huge family of children, ho lound it necessary to marry a second wife. lie chose one that hud moved i:i high life, but nearly al! of wlioto relatives rejected the doctrines of evangelical religion. Ho did not. mean to l>o irreligious, but ho tlu'light too much religion would not ploa^o bin wife or her friends, anil for that reason be neglected family worship and other Christian duties. A short lime after their marriago, bho said lo him : "1 thought when 1 married your 1 was marrying a Christian." " Why, my doar wife, do you doubt iny being a Christian '{" " Yes, sir; I do." " What reason have I given you tfi think bo "because, sir, a Christian prays with his Ikinily, and you do not." His reply was: "1 thought that the reading of tho Bible and pray or'would bo unpleasant and irktomo to ono that has boon reared under bach influence? and moved in such a circlo as you have." "Sir, you have nothing to do wit.li all that. Your busiii??3 is to do youi du?y as a-Christian.

Few persons are aware of the fact that our principal morning journals are not printed directly from tho type, but from stereotypes taken from the regular forms. Tho whole tiuio conauincd in making the forms is nl>out twenty minutes. It is accomplished thus: Each page is made is made up iu a separate form on a tal>le ill size and height expressly adapted for the purpose; the legs of this tal?le mo furnished with ca*tora, and as soon as the forms are locked, the tuble is rolled into tho stereotype room. The form is then removed to the moulding table; the latter has a hollow iron bed, tho cavity of which is filled with s emu, as heat is one of the requirements in facilitating the operation. After the light temperntnro is attained the lbrm is removed again to the imposing table, and two or three sheets of a peculiar kind of paper are laid over the surface oi the type, and they are then beaten down with n brush proof. 'Um lorm is theu again slid upon the moulding table, another and hoaviar sheet of paper placed over lite first; this is covered with a wet blauket, and the whole slip ped under the press attached to the mould* iitg table, and the power applied. This is done almost instantly, when the form is again run out and the paper peeled off is a complete matrix of the whole form.
