Scottish Abbeys. In the crowded and busy manufact. r1inu town of Dunfermllne, on the high bank of a river's bed, stand the walls of one of the grand old palaces of the Scottish kings; a reminder of the greatness of the ancient realn of North Britain. Close by them is the large abbey, still retaining sone beau tiful portions of its original structure. The ancient transepts and choir were destroyed, and their place has been supplied by a large, but painfully modern structure, in tended as a memorial to King Hobert the Bruce, whose body was laid in front of the altar of the old building ; it is now under the pulpit of the new. With cuestionable taste, his name and title are displayed in huge letters of stone arotini the top of the central tower. The nave. however, stood through the reformation. It has siu tiered from the Iands of restorers who have re placed some of its ancient windows by those of more iodern shape, and have built against its walls, supposed to be in lainger of lalling, Ilying bntlresses nntny times lnger th1a1n were needed to sulpport then ; but all the external beaty whic its Norman builrs gave it is not lost. And 1 he interior has its iassive arches I d pil - lars ahnost as when they were built.. Some of the latter show striki ngly hold zigzag cutt ings, like tint on two of the pillars at I)tnhann, only with the orntanental appear anie of it lance head at eacl of the upward poinls; anl according to the spectator's position, they can be iltde to present dif fent optical delusions, seeiing to taper at t nne limnie Iowands tle top, aind nt alnot ier twinrtds tihe Iht oam, or agan appearing per te1ly tunifot inn shape. The northern doorway, tninjured, except. by the hand of time, is still very beautiful.

(m'anblskeninethi. Of n Iis old abbey, not fir from the winding river which separates it fromn Sterling, there is left only the great sltuare lower, and fouan lation stones which mtrk the outline of the large hurrh. Melrose. Withini a range of Iweinly miles stand the ruins of the tInree gral"et abbeys of ' lelrosc, I)nyltugh, andt Jedburgh, founded respectively by the 'istercians, tine P'remonttratensiams, and the Augustinians. 'l'he ruins of the three uilhIings are full if interest, su1ggesting tle time when each was the center of in teii poral as well its at spiritual activity. Except al I)ryburgh, there are few, if any, r"emunains of the conventional buiidings. Melirose Abbey has lost. three hiays frin the west end oI its mlve, nicl the rest of Ilhat part of the builiing is mtlunh disfigured by the great inodern pillars which have been puint in on one sille. But ihe granefutl ancienit cohltnns, ihe St ranngely iunrrow northern aisle, and ihe two aisles on the south with their llnunrnuts chapels-- all Ihree with the old stone roots -are still standing t'or nearly' half of the original Iength.

A conductor on the Michigan Central Railroad came across him the other day. The train, coming East, had just oft, Jackson, when the man from Lead Ville was discovered on the platform of the rear car.

AGRICULTURE. (;uE.sny Cu1.runr:.--'1'Ie culture is somewhat as follows: Obtain good seed grown from selected plarts of sol- y it, stout, stocky growth ; tien tliow out tl all but the heaviest seed. Sow these e "pedigree seeds" early on thoroughly P tine, moist soil, in rows a foot or more s apart, one inch wide in the row, less 1i than a dozen seeds to the square Inch ; P cover very slightly with line sifted soil. ' Press hard by Peter hIenderson's me- dl thod of treading upon every part of the V row, or some equivalent firming. '1'len shade with a very light spread of clean ' rye straw, which should be reioved as the seeds begin to sprout. Unless the at ground is very rich, water every week f or so with diluted guano water, ?ontain- at ing a trace of salt. Wi'hen the plants t are four inches upy shear thaem half oil, I and do so once or more thereafter, as 0 the tendeuey to grow tall at the expense of stoutitess increases. Transplanting may be dispensed with, when plants tc are grown by this method. Never ex- it pet good celery from small, spindling h plants. Select the best for setting, and t carefully throw ,he rest away. Don't a give them to anybody to waste their a Iopes and energies upon. In moist, r] rich land plow a trench as deep as you I can it July, put in twice as much tatn- c< 1ure fromt the cow-stable as you would sa for any othet crop, dig or plow until tl thoroughly mixed with the soil, when the trench will be nearly full, then set plants of equal size six to eight iuches k apart, iu a straight row, and so on. a Keep the weeds down, the ground m1ol- e low. and let or make the celery grow t< according to the season. Don't let its tl uncertainties peril your crop, if water, el teams and barrels are to be had. Near- % ly all celery Is injured and a great deal tl spoiled by premature earthing up; the t finest stock spindled, piped and ruineu e Just as it begins to grow. ''his tight- a lacing of the infant celery precludes the possibility of right development afterwards. it Roo-'s Fox Cows.-Roots are being s raised largely for milch cows, and the size and quality that is most desirable is a question of much Importance. 'lihe Rural New Yorker thinks tihe practical dairyman will give preference to the form of root most nearly approaching c the globular, free from side roots and f with a tap root as little lleshy ts possi- f ble. In support of this belief It says: -.'Faruers cannot wash their roots be fore feeding, yet they are all sensible of the evil of feeding them mixed with the earth which adheres to thile 1e flbres a1 and branching prongs. If no other re.sons were to be given, it is stilillent, that great injury from wear is inflicted upon the teeth of animals that must fI chew uip an1 ounce of satand w"itlh every pound of root.. The attention of seeds- 0 men has been thoroughly atwakenedl to t,he existence of this opiniion among It practical herdsmen, and most of the new and imnprc,vedl sorts now ollered't are the globular 'ormn.
