A gentleman at Cleveland had a very
narrow escape on Saturday Of last week,
from the moose OF matrimony. He was
acting as groomsman TO friend, who was
about TO be "tied up" and when the par
ties appeared before the altar, the Rector
installing him for the happy man; placed
him beside the bride that was to be, and
asked his name, proceeded with the nup.
tial ceremony. The groomsman was so
astonished, that the service was hall
through before he found tongue to explain,
which done, an exchange Of places was
made, and the right parties were united.

THE LOVERS.

They went on in silence. The wood
whispered around them, and bowed over
them its outrageous crowd. There ruled
now in Bruno's soul; and he has often said
that it is this very feeling which makes
him so happy by Serena's side--a peace
which he has rarely enjoyed. Some
thing Of her dear and gentle being seemed
to pass over into his own; he felt as
though his better genius were near him;
and the benefcent impulse Of life, that
pure thought, thatindlstinct and yet mighty
hope Of a beautiful future, those glad ver-
nal antcipatlons to which no hear, which
ever beat in the human form is wholly a
stranger, all came like angels and saluted
his spirit.
Then rose voice in him; il was that
Of repentance "Weep for the past, for
the lost" But another, sweet and strong
as eternal mercy cried still louder; "Des-
pair moi, since she is nigh thee" And
then he looked into her face, it was so.
friendly and near, and he saw her only.

RESTRAINT on MARRIAGE.-Slr X
Bruce gave Judgment in the Wee Chan.
cellor's Court last week on a poin. res
pecting wills. A testator in 1884 made a
will, by which he gave share of his es.
tate to his daughter and her issue; but by
codicil, added in 1886, he prov ded that
bis property should pass over 10 other per-
sons il his daughter should ever marry.
The daughter did marry, and the other
persons stepped forward TO claim the
money. The Judge SAID that all such
restraints upon marriages were void by
the English law; aud the declaration OF
tho Court was that the l7dy should keep
the money. " London paper.

CUTTING HAY.

Clover should not be cut till portion
Of the flowers have assumed brown
colour, thereby allowing The more back
ward buds 10 develope themselves as full
ly as possible. ltrequires TO be cat be-
lore the leaves have begun to wilher.
We prefer TO have clover cured without
exposure 10 the sun beyond lying in the
swath, but those desirous of avoiding the
haz I'D Of showers, may facilitate the dry
ing by opening the clover partially. The
plan of curl gis however preferable, which
takes longer time and exposes the clo-
yer as little to the direct influence of the
sun as possible. After willing in the
swath for short tia,e, ii should be laid
into high cocks of small diameter, and
there allowed to remain till sufficiently
dried to put into the barn. The cocks
should be made with the fork entirely, by
laying one iorkful on another, not rolling
into heap. This allows the air to cir
culate freely through the heap, and it will
be cured without injury from sweating.
Timothy and fedtop ought to be near
y ripe before cutting; sufficiently so at
least, that part of the seed will fully
ripen after being cut There is less in
jury to this grass from exposure TO the
sun then to clover but there is no doubt
that if cured in the swalh or cock like
clover, it would be more valuable for feed
ing, than when exposed to the scorching
effects of our July sun. 1t would require
a long time, to be sure, but if laid up Trim
ly in cocks, it would scarcely suffer from
rains and it would expose but small
portion to the influence of dews.
Some of the natural grasses, such as
are to be found in old meadows, require
to be cut before the seed is matured, and
with many il is an object to cut sufficient
ly early to secure second growth of
aftermath or rowen. But as general
rule, the sap Of all grasses cut before the
saccharlne matter is pretty well matured,
is thin and watery, the hay consequently
is much less nutritious than in the more
rlpcned grass, and is not as well relished
by stock. The proper period for cutting
is the best indicated by the cumming of
the scythe. When this is the case, it in
dictates a sufficient maturity of The sap,

INTELLlGENEE OE BIRDS.

That the inferior animals have in,elli-
gence. distinct from that instinct witch is
common to them and to man, is notion
now generally prevalent, an interesting
illustration OF this opinion was related at
a late meeting of the Literary and PIIos-
phical Society Of Liverpool. The aulhori-
ty for the fact is such as to leave no room
for question. A pair Of goldfnches had
built their nest on a small branch of an
olive tree: after Matching their brood, the
parents perceived that the family was too
great for the strength of the branch
which supported the nest-it had begun
to yield; the provideut parents, with all
intelligence which cannot be resolved
into instinct, were seen to fasten, by means
of small string which they procured,
the branch which supported their mast, to
"a stronger and higher branch of the tree
Thus redeeming by an extraordinary et-
fort Of reason, the original error which
they had committed, and guarding their
parental hope from the threatning ruin.

Planting and Applying
MInUreS.

in Maine the time for planting corn is
from the 10th to the 18th of May. Early
potatoes should be planted sooner and the
long Johns or La Plata potatoes, ought
10 be planted early. These are some Of
the best potatoes for Maine provided
they are planted early enough to ripen.
great majority of farmers are in the
practice of putting shovelGul of rotten
manure i'll hill of corn, and forkful of
coarse manure into hill of potatoes.
This is done on the principle that
the roots will not find the manure unless
1t is placed close to them. But the prac-
tlce is bad in every view of it. By this
practice the land is kept poor, and the pros
duct poor and stinted. II is not right in
theory to place manure in a heap when
we wish for its best effects. 1t must be
incorporated with the soil il we desire it
to have its full power.
In the second place the labor of doing
out the manure by stinted quantity in
the hills is fat greater than that of spread
ing evenly over the whole surface.
Thirdly, by spreading broadcast, the har-
vest will generally be greater than by
manuring in the hill. Some men choose
to spread coarse manure OH broadcast and
then put quantity OF fine compost man
ure in each hill. But this is double la
Dor without necessity; for if good guam
tity is to be put on an sere, there will be
quite enough in the hill when the whole
is evenly spread.
1t is agreed that corn and potatoes
need little manure 10 give them an early
start; but they want something also to
carry them through. 1t Is as absurd to
put the whole manure in the hill as it
would be for man to eat breakfast. Gin
ner, and supper. in the morning, and not
reserve portion for the other parts Of the
day. Now ify you manure heavily, there
will be quit e enough falling near the hill;
and ifyou put OIL but small quantity and
that in the hill, you will have more stalks
than corn, more show than substance.
If you spread broadcast and pu: quan'i-
ty in each hill also, you make double Ia
Dor of planting and your harvest will not
pay the cost.
any man may make trlal OF smSh ipt
if he ventures not to go on large scale.
Let him spread over his land twenty OK
cart-leads Of fine manure, to the acre. and
either plow it in or harrow it we'll, and
he may depend his corn and his potatoes
will find it. Should his first harvest be
less, his second one will be greater, and
his land will be better for years TO come
:han if his manure should be pat princi-
pally i'll the bill.
On some light soils j, will answer to
pillow the manure in, part of it falling TO
the bottom of the lurrow; bat in genera!
a better crop is attained when the manure
has been well mixed up with other matter,
and then spread over the surface. In
such case good iron tooth harrow is the
proper instrument, The manure ought
