Tho key worked n little hesitatingly at fust, and the "clicks" were infrequent, but tho editor toiled away.

He turned on the steam aboutit n. m., and now tho chestnut bell was going at the rate of ten strokes to the minute.

Hy 2 o'clock the supply of sub jects began to get low and tho machine cooled down, but toward night, when thc? editor turned loose on his column of jokes, tho strain was too much.

In those early times preachers wanked harder than tiny do now. Mr. Babbitt possibly tilled tho pulpit of three churches-Pcqua, Lea cock and Cedar Grove. In those days hunting of course was a great sport. The ring of the rifle and tho bay <d tho fox hounds were familiar sounds. < >n one occasion Mr. Babbitt had to borrow a horse from a parishioner to lill a distant appointment. He started one beautiful Sunday morning, but had not gone many miles bofore ho beard tho musical bay of the deep throated hound, and horsemen following. Incensed ut the supposed Sunday desecration ho shirted forward to reprove the bold riders for ?their sport. Unfortunately his horse was an old fox hunter. The hounds bay oxcited him. He smelled the battle afar. His ueck was clotho t with thunder. In vain did the preacher apply rein and bit. Tho old horse was among the hounds, and so over hill, fence ami ditch went tho would-be denouncer of Sunday sport. The horso never shipped till the fox was holed.--Lancaster Rxamiiier. A?

Except in limestone anti high, mountainous regions, it in not. Thc yield is too uncertain, thc cost of raising too great. Wheat i.i probably farther removed from its original wild (and, therefore, hardy i state than any plaid we cultivate. It bas been domesticated SO long, and so changed by domestica tion, that botanists have failed to identi fy the plant or plants from which it originally came, lt has been so changed, it has becomo so artificial in its nature and habits, thal it gives way under com petition, and cannot hold its place, in tho struggle for existence, with tho hardier and moro vigorous plants that it encounters. Hut for man's aid, wheal would die out and disappear in one, or at most two or three years, it must have a thoroughly prepared soil and an abundance of food, especially nitrogen ous food, the costliest of all. lt has very little root power, and cannot set free ?ind appropriate thc locked up food in the soil. Everything must be ready prepared und fully within its roach. As a consequence of these peculiarities, it yields readily to adverse influences, whether of climate, seasons or soils. It withstands moderate cold quito well; but this said, all is said. Aa il matter of long experience and ex tended observation, wc know that wheat thrives best ill cool climates. The north ern United Stales and northern Europe is tho home of the wheat ero]). In thoso regions wheat is successfully grown, even when sown ill the spring. At tlie South, w heat sown itt that season would not bring back tho seed to tho .so.ver. A southern climate then does not seem to bo adapted to thu constitution of the wheat plant. Hut ni addition to this, or possibly as a consequence of this, wheat is greatly mon- liable te? bo destroyed by rust at the South than at the North. This is tho weak point in wheat culture with us. This is tho chief thing that lenders the w heat crop so uncertain and unreliable. How to guard against rust i then tie. foromo? I consideration in the preparation for tho crop. .Ns a matter of universal experience, it is weil known that dampness, both of soil and air, and a succulent, sappy growth of tho plant, ure both favorable to tho development of rust. A dry .May and a good wheat Clop usually go together. Now so far as the amount of rain and tho general humidity of tho atmosphere is concerned, thc farmer is helpless; he cannot control these. Hut ho eau ward oft' in part the effects of excessive rain by selecting for his wheat fields high knobs or knolls, from which water runs oft* rapidly, and the soils of which ure, therefore, com paratively dry. He can sole, those soils, abo, which are least retentive of moisture. As a rule, .suchas have com paratively little humus, arc dryer than those which abound in that substance. Tho soils of low lands are damper than those of uplands, and thc air \ idell rests upon thc fornur is generally dumper than that over the. latter. This is shown by the heavy dews which prevail on bot tom lands, lt i;; obvious, thcrefi re. that a farmer's judgment becomes a decided factor in the raising of n w heat crop. Again, we have said, thal a succulent, sappy growth of wheat, favors tho devel opment of rust. Can a fanner control this? i'cs; to a certain degree ho can 1st by <i proper selection of soil its dis cussed above; and 'Jd by a pr opt r regu lation ol' thc manure applied to tho crop, b.xe ssive doses of most fertilizers, but particularly of nitrogenous manures tend to d< volop Luxuriont grow th of stalk and leaves. Evory ono has noticed t ie ten dency of wheat thus manured to fall down or 'dodge." Tho stem is soft and unable to hold up the heads. Hence, whilst wheat must have manure, .nd must, have nitrogenous monurotoo, these should not be applied in excessive amounts, and the nitrogen should be well proportioned to tho other ingredi ents, so that a well balanced development of the. plant result. To sum up, there fore, wheat should be sown on high dry land, with a rather thirsty soil and with a soil rather devoid of humus. Such a soil is usually poor. Wheat will not grow on poor soils hence it must bo mau iii ed. Wheat needs more nitrogen than most other plant?- -henee it must be manured with nitrogenous manures but u medium manuring-tho equivalent of, say live hundred bushels of cotton seed to the acre would bo better than a much larger amount. Cotton seed is a good manure for wheat, especially 00 very poor land. And poor land is best for wheat when properly manu;ol. Hut cotton seed may be improved by the ad dition of a little phosphate. Fifty bush els of cotton soca and KM) to 160 pounds of aciil phosphate per aero is a safe and reliable manuring for wheat. Hut woy discuss thc growing of wheat, when it is admitted to be an unprofitable crop. Because, a crop which might not pay as a market, or money crop, may pay very handsomely when grown for home use. This is most generally true. There are very few things u farmer can buy, cheaper than ho can raise. Our people have fallen into the terrible belief that thoy can buy almost everything cheaper than they can raise it. They do not think they cnn buy cotton cheaper than they do raise it, but probably that proposition comos nearer tue truth than it does in thc case of almost any other crop grown. Hy all means let < very farmer sow enough wheat for home use. For thc small crop necesyary to this end, ho can Ibid enough laud weil suited to it -he can sparo tho needed manure, and Ito can tako timo to give it thorough preparation. % Plough, roll and harrow, until brought into finest tilth; sow ot once, and sow that variety which has succeeded best in your own locality. Procure seed a littlo south rathor than 1 tr north of yon. A varioty which lias Pec?me accustomed to a warm climate will succeed better than ono accustomed to a Cold el il nate.

To the question, Has a mother any right to the babe whom she has borne nt the peril of her own life.' thc heart of humanity can give but one answor, By a law of human nature, alike natural and irreversible, her claim in this respect is superior to that of any other, not ex cepting that of the fattier, it is from her bosom that the child draws its s is tenanoe, and she is its God-appointed cart laker, at least in its earliest y oars, and her right cannot be overborne with out cruelty amounting to outrage. And yet, strange ns it may seem, tho laws in nearly every State in the Union give l ie power of custody of the child, not to the wife and mother, but to the husband and father. The mother may bo a paragon of mOral excellence, and except ional ly well fitted to nurse and train her child, but tho father, though a man utterly vile, has a legal right to snatch tho babe from its i not lier's arms and dispose of it rts ho pleases. To the credit of human uature lot it bo confessed that this right in our day is not often exercised but it is .i reproach to our civilization that such a law should bc permitted to stand for a -anglo hour upon any of our statute 'looks.--Frank Leslie's Weekly.
