bullying message. Taken unawares, the
principal editor refused to meet a BODY

affair got wind, however, and in the
course ofthe day many hundred young
men left their cards at the office of the
Tribune, praying to be allowed as as

Bricqueville "a Deputy, and M. CareI,
Editor of the National. After an ex-

that the remaining 66 officers of the
Etat- Major will not call out the remain

And send those noisy children all up

Now playing here like bears.

Drive horses, or fly kites, or any thing,
You're large enough TO play at hare and

Take each your doll,
And SO, my dears, into the two back pair,

NARROWING MEADOWS.

We not unfrequently hear farmers
complaining that their meadows are
sward bound. In the spring Of 1890,
had piece ofmeadow in ihis condition.
Not wishing to plough it up that season,
by way of experiment, / narrowed il
faithfully, which produced the desired
effect. My crop of hay was much larger
than the preceding season, owing, I
have no doubt, to the application of the
harrow.

Seeds.-lt is truly astonishing how long
The vital principle can be preserved unex-
tinguished, though dormant, in seeds, when
they are placed under such circumstances as
will prevent putrehction or termination.
Corn was found at HerculaDcuu, which had
lain buried for more than seventeen centu-
ries, and was then in good preservation.
Seeds brought from IlerculaDcum have since
grown i'm Great Britain. There arc also
several other instances on record, whore
seeds have been buried in the earth to great
depths for centuries. yet as soon as tic soil
which contained them was accidentally
brought TO the surface ard exposed 10 the
air they began togcrminatc, the stems were
developed, and they produced flowers and
fruit. These facts are not more surprising
than others relative 70 suspended animal lie.

Heroism Of FiIiaL -HGcciion- the
course OF the last winter, five Dutch gentle
men set out from Rotterdam TO travel on
skates TO Amsterdam. They had passed over
about twelve miles of the waste of inland
waters, which extends between the two
cities, and were, with the exception of one
of the party who kept apart, skating with
great velocity in close files and hands locked
in the Dutch manner, and were striking out
far from the shore, when, at once, the whole
file was precipitated through the ice, and
two out of the four were hardly seen TO rise
again. The other two were father and son,
both remarkably fine men and the father an
expert swimmer, which enabled him to sup
port himself and his son too, for considera-
bic time, during which he was so collected
ms TO give directions TO the only one of the
party, who had not fallen in how he should
conduct himself TO afford assistance but at
length he gave utterance TO the thought that
his sons continuing TO hold him would be
the death of both. The son Immediately
kissed his father, with the familiar and en-
dearing expression he was accustomed to,
babe him "good night, !" loesed his hold, and
deliberately resigned himself to death. The
father lives, and the name, at least, of Henry
Hook, the son, must live also.-LiUerpooL
