Sdre your Soap Suds. 1t is not per-
haps generally known that soap suds form
one of the most valuable apple atoms to
great number of vegetables, and that by
allowing them to be thrown away, ser-
Gus loss to the garden and fruit orchard is
sustained. Applied to melons, squashes,
and cucumbers, it materially aids their
growth, besides having a good effect in
helping to Danish the multitude OF worms
bugs and fits, that harbor near them, and
feed upon them. 1t is one ofthe best rem
cdies for ,'ants attacked by the plant louise,
and would annually save large numbers
of turnips, cahhaoes, &c. from falling a
prey TO this minute and formidable insect
were it sprinkled over them instead OF
throwing them away. Where thes"
creatures have seized upon the extreni-
Ties of young gratis. soap suds thrown
upon 1Aem with syringe will soon exPcI

LETTER OF PRES. PENNY.
XamiltON (OiLcge, 10Th JulN. !

Humiuo" College, 10th july 1886.
Fer. and Door Su-My numerous ca
sagements since had the pleasure If >cciug
vOu at Hamilton, have Prevented HIY LeTCi-
Ing an hour. as had designed, to sketch the
plan Of improvements for your seminary
grounds, which my hasty inspection sug-
gested Dut an cOn>Olcd tor my failure
by the reflection that the remaining mem
bers Of the committee are yet 10 BRING better
taste and Judgment 10 the task. There IS
another consolation: yOUr grounds are BY
nature more beautiful and picturesque than
any art could render the majority Of the
sites of public institutions IN the y. States.
Peculiarly beautiful are those grounds to the
west of the buildings, where smooth, green
slope, and darling groves, and rugged dell,
contrast each other in most happy conlbra-
tions. A little discreet use Of the axe, to
open occasional vistas through which your
piles Of architecture may be seen at inter
walls, and then concealed again, is all that
can be needed in that quarter. The avcn-
ue, as il seems to me, should ascend thro'
the second ravine, and follow the winnings
of the hill, so as to maintain gentle aclivi-
tv till it has passed the bath-house, after
which it should fork, one branch to sweep
irregularly past the front Of both buildings,
and the other past the rear. This hill, in
front, presents the basis Of a very beautiful
landscaye would break up its fair fore
head with no fences, but deck its smooth
lawn surface here and there with clumps or
solitary trees; and, if any walks, would
hive them wander irregularly over its sur
lace, either to command fine points of view,
or lead 10 points Of interest or utility. The
buildings, though plain, are in good keeping
with the objects for which they are designed
and this is the first requisite of good taste
! If they require covering, a cement Of pure
| lime and coarse selicious sand will be the
best, and then coat Of pure white-wash
from time to time, will be both protection
and fine contrast with the green lawI
which forms the ground Of the picture.
On the whole, dear brother, rejoice with
you in the fair exterior, but much more il
the promising interior, Of your interesting
institution. The great Head of the church
has greatly smiled-en it already. and give:
manifest tokens Of favor for the time II
come. May the Lord preserve your pre-
cious life, and those Of your worthy asso
ciates, to see it still more fourishing anc
useful; may science, combined with trut
'riety, continue to adoru that lovely spo;;-

Convince them that in general eme.i

Convince them that a little we'll titled, is
better than much half titled.

ECoNoNY IN LINEN WASHING. A
correspondent of a Dundee paper writee
as follows AFTER many experiments
made by myself and others, | find that a
little p1prclay, dissolved among the water
employed in washing, gives the dirtieSt
linens the appearance Of having been
bleached, ant cleanse them thoroughly
with about halfthe labor, and full saving
of one fourth the soap. The method adopt
ed was to dissolve little of the pipecIay
among the warm water in the washing
tub, or to rdb little of it together with
the soap on the articles to be washed
This process was repeated as often as re-
quired, until the articles to be washed were
made thoroughly clean. All who have
made the experiment have agreed that the
saving of soap and labor are great; and
that the clothes are improved in color
equally as If they were bleached. The
peculiar advantage of employing this ar,
ticle with the soapis that it gives the hard
est water almost the sofness Of ram water

Your friend and brother IN the gospel,
JOSEPH PENNY.
A VETERAN PRINTER. The editor
of the N. Y. Weekly Messenger lately
paid visit to Hartford, where he records
the following interesting incident
Since my arrival in this city, l have
had very interesting interview with the
very venerable George Goodwin, who is
now, believe, the Oldest practical printer
in Amcrica-being in his Gig htieth year
but as hale, hearty and active, apparent
", as most men are at ftty-fve or sixty.
II found him in the same place and at the
same employment that l did when l called
on him twenty years ago-name. Y, setting
types for the Connecticut Courant. When
| expressed some little surprise thereat, he
observed, that he had been setting types
for this same paper more than seventy
years, and he could not feel contented to
abandon his favorite employment at this
/ time of life.
In 1854 there were but two newspapers
published in Connecticut-one a, New
Haven and one at New-London. Dur
ing that year Mr. Thomas Green removed
from New Haven to Hartford, and estab-
lished the Connecticut Courant 1t was
the size of a small sheet of writing paper
and about 400 copies were circulated in
this and neighboring towns At that time
there was no printing office north Of Hart
ford, and none between Hartford and Bos
ton 1t is remarkable fact, that George
Goodwin, who went apprentice to MI
! Green soon after the establishment ofthe
Courant, at about eight years ofage, has
assisted in the publication ofthe paper, Ell
ther as apprentice, proprietor or editor
from that time to this, a period of more
than seventy years. Such is the truly
Honorable George Goodwin, who, by {
steady course of industry, integrity anc
economy, has placed his family in af1uer
circumstances, and who, by his conduct
has set bright example to the world, anc
especially to the rising generation, which
an Alexander or a Bonaparte might envy
but TO which they could never attain.
