Oh Kdcn'fi lice bright apples hung
To tempt the taste, in time, the olden;
Full ripe in autumn breeze they swung,
With blushing check, and green and
golden.
Kvc plucked the fruit and found it good,
Then daring ate, for science, knowledge;
Stielt hold iiiyestlgalora would
Surprise the world Knout to college.
Why it, man has often said,
"My wife's to tdainc for half my
sinning V"
Confessing guilt, then on her head,
The badge of Iiis transgression pinning.
Go read again the sacred hook,
How ICye controlled the weaker Adam;
He . iclds lb tier, toil seel it took
All Satan's power to tempt the madam:
.So now among oiir tippling men
Tlie wife controls the husband weaker;
For when she smiles, he lifts, and when
She frowns, lie dashes down the beaker.
Let woman then ia woman's hour,
Oppose man's first and worst temptation,
'Uainst social wine exert her power,
And lead a glorious, refoi ina'-ion.
Let all our girls before they weil.
First pledge the beaux to one condition;
'I luit c?tII shall taste an apple red,
Plucked from thei tree of prohibition.
Thun sluill the temperance g'nls redeem
Our race now doomed with sin to grapple,
lUiauseour mother Eve was seen
To pluck and taste a tempting apple.

his bait intoxicated ' otnpanioiis, and
[mics down into tho street.
Kiar by is the Southern Hold.
That it is that is burning. Tho Hilmes

again, und, in tho face id' the flames';
nVscltCS another life from a terrible
death. Once more be climbed lip th'ei
ladder, actuated by' the tear that a
singlehuman being may perish should
he not make the exertion. When he
reached the window the smoke is
pouring from it in volumes. He does
not hesitate, but gropes : his way
along the passage, nearly suffocated
by I be dense smoke whicl rushes
along the corridors its through the.
funnel of a b'tist furnace. This par
ticular hallway is deserted, or if there
is left any sleeper, the smoke has al
ready carried him into that deeper
sleep froin which there is no awaken
ing. The hot fllimes begin to take the
place of black smoke, nud Charley
'I iotnan is forced to the window at
which he has entered. lie is on the
sill. Ho .looks for the bidder on
which be bail ascended. Horror of
horrors! It is gone! His compan
ions have forgotten hi hi and removed
the ladder to another window.
Below is the vast sra of human
hues lit up by the gbirc ol the flames.
Above the heavens reflecting back the
work of the fire fiend, and inch fitting
cloud set in bright relief against the
back ground of blue und silver. . Be

The man stands in the window

moment? It is ton years. Ten thous

quickened mind. The boy at his
mothers knee?the young man?
?among his school companions?the
man among the hard realities of life.
Tlu re is in the picture a young face,
fair, soft, and set off by a wealth of
brown hair. There is a father, a sister.
Tl ere tire scenes of wild recklessuc-s
There are hundreds of acts that?oh,
if they had never been committed !
From below come the confused shouts
of the multitude. Whilo he stands
irresolute, the heat at his back grows
stronger; and over Ids head the (lames
mount up higher into the heavens.
There is but one- hope. Ten pace*
away is the ladder. He mustjump
for it. There is small chance that he
will reach the rungs, but if. is the
only one.
There is a moment's prayer?per
haps the first for long, long years. A
glance at the fearful gulf beneath,
a glance at the brilliant heavens. His
friends see him spring into the air,

hands'strike the rungs of the ladder.

The Life of an Actress.
fhose who are of the opinion that
the path of tin actor or actress is
strewn with EUSf?; v:i.'.L wVn'm
otherwise when the truth is made
public. Miss Neilsoii, who may for
various icasous be supposed enabled
to enjoy its foci lilies in the greatest
plehtitude, und avoid its troubles
with more th n usual tact, gi/es the
following us her experience. She is,
speaking to a San Francisco re
parier: 'My daily life.is bare ami
simple enough, though it may seem
smooth and pleasant to one who looks
iit it froth tin; footlights. An artist
lives :i lifo of drudgery and slavery.
>he lias im rest and. scarcely Linie to
cat or sleep. This is my daily
routine: Iii the morning I rise be
tween S nod I) o'clock. I first attend
to my business letters,and I study for
an hour. Then I walk to rehearsal,
which lasts from two to lour hours.
This is particularly trying It the
play is new to the company, then I
have to tell t' ctn all about the "busi
ness'; and if it is not now, my 'busi
ness' is different from that of the star
that preceded me, and much that
I hey do has to be changed for my
convenience. It is very hard upo u
members of the company sometimes,
but it cannot be helped. The rehear
sal over, I coiiie home and receive ,
ea'lers for an hour, after which I. dine
and take a short nap, when I have to
get ready for the evening performance.
This is the mere work, but there is
tin care and annoyance besides.
When I am ?b put to p'ay a new
character, for a fortnight before the
opening night I get so nervous that I
can neither cat nor sleep. I generally
walk to and from I he theatre for the
benefit of the air and exercise. The
evening performance once commenced,
if I am acting a part whose emotions
carry me away, I enter fully into the
spirit of it, anil think no more of my
self until the curtain falls for the last
time."
Eoumuuia is nominally a Turkish
province. It is a fertile country,
inhabited by Greek Christians, and
governed by amemberofthehouse
which has for its head the Emperor

and Wallnchia?two provinces so
called that contain nearly five mil
lions of people. The Carpathian
mountains separate it from Austria,
the river Prutli from Russia, and the
wide, .marshy Dauuhe from the bal

I tween the belligerents, paying annual
tribute to Turkey, but in every other
respect independent of either Turkey

Corn.
"When, how ofton and , in what
way d<> you work corn ?"
The first working of corn is usually
gt von immediate!y after the cotton is
planted.'' The earlier the better, ns
it is up and has three or four blades.
It should in its fust working be plow
ed very close and deep. I use a long
scooter plow and the hoes should lol
!6\y close after the plows, thinning to
one stalk and dressing off the hill,
removing every particle of grass and
leaving the hill soft and clean, throw
ing n little dirt around the stalk.
Twenty or twenty five days after that
plough again, very thoroughly and
close, using a plow that will lap the
dirt around the stalk, covering up all
little grass about the cor.?! The hues
should , if possible, follow the plows
again, cleaning such hills as may not
be thoroughly cleaned by the plow-,
thineing out all surplus stalks, pull
ing off suckers, etc. A,very slight
hoeing will do at this time if the
plows have done their duty, and in
old and light land, the plows may so
do they woik as not to make it abso
lutely necessary to'hoe it at all. In
'abont'twenty or-t wenty-five days from
the first working, commence the lay
ing by. If the ground has been well
plowed previously and no very heavy
ra its have intervened, this last plow
ing may be done very well with a
sweep, but generally a shoved plow is
best. At this time I should not run
the plow very elose or very deepi ft

At this last Working, it has been for
many years my pine.ice to sow peas

from this and other compounds here
