WOOlenS and Furs.

Many persons suppose that the best way
to prevent moths from getting into woolens
or iurs, is occasionally through the summer
10 hang these articles in the sun aud rain
This is great mistake, as it is by such ex-
posure that the moths are most likely 10 get
into them. On TIE contrary, in the spring,
when the season is over for furs and WOOL
ems, they should be well shaken and brushed.
and then wrapped tightly in linen, laying
among them Jumps of camphor; handful of
fresh hops; and above all fat pine wood
shavings, all of which are preventatives to

ring the summer unopened, in dark dry pIa-
ces, such as drawers or large chests. Cedar
presses are preferable to all others, for keep
ing clothes or other woolen articles. Hair
trunks rarely fail TO introduce moths. The
month OF June is the best time to put away
1annels.

Recognition of Mortal Remains,
by Artificial Teeth.

A writer in the Boston Post relales the fol-
lowing incident, as akin to the identification
Of DR.. Parkman's remains,b the recognition
Of his artificial teeth: :
Sir Peter Halket was slam on the memo

slain too, among host Of other men compo-
sing Gen Braddock's army, whose troops,
says the historian fell fast beneath the iron
tempest that hissed around them, until al
most all his officers were singled out one af
ter another and killed or wounded. In this
battle seven hundred Of the British were Kill
led or wounded, and sixty -four out of eighty

10 search for the relics of Braddock's S army.
In this solemn and affecting duty, says the
historian, several officers belonging 10 the
forty-sccond regiment accompanied a de-
tachment, and with them Maj. Sir Peter Hal

the fatal destruction OF the army.

his father and brother from the common rel.

think otherwise, as one Of the Indian war
riors assured him that he had seen an officer
fall beneath remarkable tree, which he
thought lie could still discover; especially
as the incident was impressed on his memo
ry, by observing young subalIern, who III
running 10 the officers assistance, was also
shot dead, on his reaching the spot, and fell
across the others body. The major had a
mourn(ul conviction in his mind that the two
officers were his father and brother.
The Indian warrior conducted the detach-

where he was posted on the day OF battle
The skeletons were found, as the Indian ex-

major said, that. as his father had an artificial

Words for Music.

love to sing when am glad,
Song is the echo Of my gladness;
love to sing when am sad,
Till song makes glad my very sadness;
Tis pleasant time,
When voices chime
To some sweet rhyme in concert only;
And song to me
Is company
Good company when I am lonely.
Whene'er greet the morning light,
My song goes forth in thankful numbers,
And mid the shadows of the night,
l sing TO me my welcome slumbers.
Ny heart is stirred
BY each glad bird
Whose notes are heard in summer bowers
And song gives birth
To friendship mirth
Around the hearth in wintry hours.
Man first learned song in Paradise,
From the bright angels o'er him singing;
And in our homes beyond the skies,
Glad anthems are forever ringing.
God lends his ear
Well pleased to hear
The songs that cheer his peoples sorrow;
Till day shall break
And we shall wake
Where love shall make unfading morrow.
Then let me sing while yet may,
Like him God loved, the sweet.tongued
Psalmist,
Who found in harp and holy lay.
The charm that keeps the spirit oalmest;
For sadly here
need the cheer
While sinful cheer with promise blendeth ;
Q, how long
To join the throng
To sing the song that never endeth !

A VALUABLE INVENTION. The Bangor
Wing says that n Mr.. Charles T. Judkins,
formerly of that city, now resident in Eng
land, has succeeded in inventiug machine
for cleansing wool. cotton and other fibrous
substances, which is said TO be superior TO
any thing Of the kind heretofore invented, as
it effectualy separates the wool from all IT'S
connections and entanglements. and purifes
it ready for working. All the factories in
England and Scotland will soon be supplied
with it, to the decided advantage of manu-
facturers, and to the advantage also of the

Stirring fhc Earth.

! In frequently stirring the earth, there
are several and important advantages. 1t
loosens the soil, and makes it permea BILE
to roots of plants. 1t finely pulrerizes the
soil, reducing,,the sods and clods, and mix
es the different kinds of layers of soil
turned up by the plow together, and mix
es the manure finely with the soil. We
have plowed green sward for immediate
sowing with fine seeds, and by manurins,
and frequent use of the harrow and culti-
| vator, we have made it Of fine tilth, and
we'll adapted to tender plants, like old mel
low SOIL
BY stirring the soil often, so as to pre-
sent new surface to the air, it becomes
enric he'd by the elements embibed from
the atmosphere. But if the earth is al
| lowed to rest, a crust is formed at the top,
and no improvement of consequence takes
place in this way. Hence, in blowing or
cultivating land often, in order TO kill
wich or couch grass, sorrel, or other
obnoxi Gus plants, the soil becomes i'm
proved by the means used TO eradicate the
weeds with which il is infested; so that
the whole labor is not spent merely to de-
stroy the cumberers ofthe ground. The
soil is turned up in deep plowng, or that
works up moderately in subsoil plowing,
becomes greatly improved on exposure to
the atmosphere, and frequent stirring.
BY stirring the soil, weeds are destroy
ed in their tender age, before they become
large, 10 rob the plants of nutriment, or re-
quire great deal of labor to destroy them.

great deal of labor, besides gaining an
advantage in having his land IN the best
condition in other respects for good crop.
Some writer says, in regard to manuring:
'F'eed your crop, and you crop will feed
you;" and it may. with equal propriety,
be said, "Protect your crop against the
weeds, and your crop will protect you
against want"
Frequent stirring of the soil is the
cheapest and most effectual protection of
crops against drought. The soils that is
often stirred, in dry time, is moist al.
most TO the surface while that which is
neglected, or lands in grass or small
grains, which do not admit of this opera
ton, are dry to a great depth, and this. is

same way, yields more than that which
is sowed broadcast. At another time, we
may make further remarks on this sub
ject.
Every good cutlvator is aware Of the
important advantages in stirring the soil
often, and he prastises on this principle
with excellent success. Let those who
have any doubts on the subject, select a
lot, give it extra culture, and mark the re-

Corn CObS.

Afriend who had read an article in
some paper recommending corn cobs,
ground or unground, in constituting val.
liable feed for stock, undertook to test the
truth of the statement for himself. He
had large quantity on hand, and after
providing himself with the proper vessel
-(half hogshead tub.) he filled i: with
corn cobs, and then with solution Of salt
in water. La this steep the cobs were
suffered to remain till they imbibed a suf-
ficlency of the fluid to render them soft.
In this condition they were fed out to his
stoc k-half peck to f ii grown COW or
OK, in the morning, and the same quantit y

they require salt IN its natural state. He
has also ground several bus. Of cobs, and
finds the meal an axcellent article for ma

Leave me not yet. Leave me not cold ane

Thou star of promise Ger my clouded path
Leave not the life that borrows from thee on ly
All of delight and beauty that it hath!
Thou that, when others knew not how to love
Nor cared 10 fathom half my yearnng soul
Didst wreathe thy flowers oflight around above
To WOO and win me from my grief's control
By all my dreams the passionate and holy,
When thou hast sung loves lullaby TO me,
By all the chldlike worship fond and lowly,
Which l have lavish'd upon thine and thee;
BY all the lays my simple lutte was learning
To echo from thy voice, stay with me still!

Though hope and joy, its sister flowers, de-

Well do know that have wrong'd thine al

With the light offerings of an idler's mind,
And thus with shame, my pleading prayer |
faller,
Leave me not. spirit! deaf, and dumb, and

To charm my wild heart in the worldly revel,
Lest ], too. join the aimless, false, and vain;

Ward. | hear you are now in Boston,
gay and lovely as usual. Let we give YOU
some Eatherly advice: Kill no more pi-
geons than you--can eat. Be a good girl,
and don't forget your .catechize; go con-
stantly TO meeting, or church. till you get
a good husband; then stay at home and
nurse the children and live like christian.
Spend your spare hours in sober whist,
prayers or learning to cypher. You must
practice addition TO your husbands indus
try and frugality. Satisfaction of all un-
necessary expenses. Mulipicafion-he
will soon make you mistress of it. As to
diuision, | say with brother Paul. ''Let
there be no division among ye;" but as
your good sister Hubberd (my love to her)
is well acquainted with the rule Of t,co,
hope you will become as expert in the
rute Of three, that when | have again the
pleasure of seeing you | may find you
like my grape vine, surrounded with clus-
ters, plump juicy, blushing, pretty little
rogues, just like their mamma. Adieu;

Consumption of Cotton Goods We
learn from the New Orleans Bulletin that
the present consumption Of cotton in the
United States. is estimated at five hun
dred thousand bales per annum. which is
more then the entire crop Of 1924; but
this is by no means a correct estimate of
the whole amount consumed, for it includes
only that portion Of the crop which hav-
ing reached the seaport is embraced in the
statistics Of the crop, and does not include
what may be cons umed in the interior,
and which has never been sent 10 sea-
port market. There re upwards Of two
hundred and fifty cotton mills south of
Mason and Dixon's line, and little or no
portion OF the cotton consumed by these
mills ever come in the estimates of the
crop, and is not inc ludcd in the quantity
said TO de consumed in the United States
Then there is vast quantity of cotton
that is similarly situated, that goes up the
Mississippi and Ohio, and out from the
Tennessee and Cumberland, for the supply
Of the mills. in Indiana, Ohio, Western
Virginia and all Pennsylvania. In all of
the above points and sources of consump-
ton, there are probably at least 10000
bales consumed making in all not less than
Ioo'ooo bales annually worked up at
home. In iorcler years, the consump-
tlon OF cotton In Great Britain was about
three-hfths American and two fifths In
dia, Brazil and other foreign cotton. The
proportion Of the latter is now less.
The whole quantity of cotton goods
made IN the Union, is estimated at 72O.

I'm Important Decision.-The opinion
of the Supreme Court, delivered by Judge
Coulter on Monday, according to the
Ledger, in case of Jones VS.. Jones, is one
OF great importance. The principle es-
tablished is, that divorces granted by the
Legislature, for causes within the jurisdic-
ton OF the Courts, are unconstitutional
and void. AS our Legislature has granted
much the largest number of divorces in
the State for number of years, this de-
cisIon will mvalidate great portion of
them.
