Lew Rates Of Food in France.

1t is astonishing at what low rates good
and clean food may be afforded, when it's
production is effected by the division of
labor, and when it is sold at cost prices.
An institution has been founded at Green
oblc, for the supply of food to the work
ing classes. The building and utensils
were purchased with the subscriptions of
some wealthy citizens. Each member Of
the society pays an entrance fee of 40
tents, and the following prices for the
principal articles composing meal; q
quart of soup 2 cents; a quarter Of q
pound of meat, roast or boiled, 4 cents; 4
third of pound of bread, 1 cent; half a
pint Of wine, cents plate of vegeta
bles, 2 cents. A plentiful dinner may be
therefore, had for IL cehts. The same
would cost more in Paris, probably 10
cents, which is often paid by the wOrkmen
for q much less copious meal.

Knocked into the WorId Again.

a pious old negro man, in the employ
ment OF worthy citizen of this county,
was few weeks ago set to ploughing Il
rough piece of new ground. Every few
feet the plough would hit against a rock
or stump. The horse, moreover, was
very dull, SO that when stopped it was
very hard to start him again. The poor
negro, of course, had hard time of it,
and his piety and patience were severely
tested. AT last they began to give way
The alterations between him and his
horse, became more violent at every fresh
occasion for getting him in motion again.
Finally, in moment of frenzy, he sworc
at the horse in terrific manner Amo-
ment's reflection, however filled him with
distress, and, addressing the horse, he
said, in plaintive tone, Oar, now, you
miserable brute, see what you've done.-
You've jes gone and knocked me right
back into the world again ?

Sensible Remarks.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher in his
remarks at the anniversary of the Five
Points Mission, said: "When Christ
went where there were sick, he healed
them; where there was actual want, he
created bread, and came dow to their
physical condition. Take the gospel to
the miserable outcasts of our city, and no
man can preach it unless he does more
1t is as though he made a mark in the
sand, and the first tide washes it away
Preach the gospel, and the hunger Of the
man makes him forget it. There is a
great deal more gospel in loaf of bread
sometimes, than in an old dry sermon
If l go to man and bring hins bread, and
clothes, and medicine, this will give him
a correct idea of the gospel-one which
he can appreciate and understand

dead bodies were taken from the ruins
As we were passing into New York on
the New York and Eric road, on the
same tour, passenger handed US the ac-
count of the Norwalk destruction, near
fifty persons being killed by the driving
of the cars into an open chasm, in the
face of the regular signal that the draw
of the bridge was open. These were but
a part of the accidents in nearly the
same period. The Ocean-Wave steamer
was burnt on Lake Ontario and two were
destroyed in California with fearful
loss of life; and two buildings fell in at
New York and Buffalo, because no doubt
too insecurely built.
This is positively frightful. The
most valuable earthly thing is human
life. 1t is that which is guarded by the
most awful sanctions. This wholesale
slaughter must necessarily diminish its
sacredneSs and murder more rife. But
viewed as is unquestionably the truth,
only as one of multitudes of indications
of a reckless extravaganza characteristic
of America. it becomes still more serious.
If we are right in believing, as we surely
do, that in Church and State, in society
and business, in sentiment and feeling, in
literature and politics, there is reckless
ness ftly illustrated by the scenes of
Chicago and Norwalk, then will not our
readers agree with us that something
should be dORcN

Valuable Applications.

For wounds received from old nails, or
cuts occasioned by broken glass, peach
tree leaves, well stepped and applied to
the wound, will give immediate relief
BY thickening the liquid from which the
leaves have been taken with meal or bran,
good poultice is obtained, which will
keep moist for hours. In case the leaves
cannot be obtained, tea made of young
twigs of the peach tree, and thickened
will do as well.

Railroad Adventure.


The car was full of passengers,
[ can't recall the number,
For l had but just awakened from
An unrefreshing slumber,
When lady, who sat facing me,
Directly met my eye,
But turned away Immediately,
And smiled-I know not why.
When youthful folks who strangers are
Are seated face to face,
In the silence of a railroad car,
A grave and formal place,
Their wandering eyes will sometimes meet
By some strange fascination,
And they cannot keep their faces straight,
Though dying with vexation.
Simpletons there doubtless are,
Whose mouths are always stretching,
But the guilelesS mirth of maidens' eyes
And dimpled cheeks is catching;
First she laughed and then laughed
[ couldn't say what at;
Then she looked grave, and looked grave,
And then she laughed at that.
She endeavored to repress her mirth,
But couldn't hold it half in,
For with face concealed behind book,
She almost died a-laughing.
She pouted when she found her lips
Determined on a smile,
But t was very plain the pretty rogue
Was laughing all the while.
Thus happily the moments few
To me, at least, of course,
Though when she saw me smiling too,
1t made the matter worse
And when, at last, l left the car,
[ caught her laughing eye,
And had one more good grin before
tore myself away.
Mine inn sought in saddened mood,
And with feelings of regret;
Those brilliant eyes, felt assured,
never could forget.
And when arrived, valise in hand,
paused-Ic can't tell why
Before a mirror on a stand,
And gazed with curious eye.
My cravat was turned halfround or more,
And shocked was [ to find
That my hat was badly jammed before,
And the rim turned up behind!
Then while in haste my room l sought,
swore along the stairs
That [ would not again be caught
A-napping in the cars.

Every farmer and fruit grower is well
aware of the injurious effects of aphides
on most kinds of fruit trees They are
always found on the leaves aud new growth
of wood, where they live By sucking the
sap They often take SO much sap from
seeding nursery trees as TO prevent their

sion. All writer's on their habits, that
it has been my lot to read, say thai they
ascend the tree, early in the spring, and
deposit their eggs on the lower leaves -
that they continue to increase through the
summer, and that the progeny Of pair
will increase to thousands before fall
Some recommend the examination of the
lower leaves, and crushing the insects on
their first appearance Others recommend

THE AUTUM LEAF.
BIZ J. w. BARKER,

There danced across my pathway,
The shadow of stricken leaf,
That from giant maple tree,
Went sailing to the earth beneath;
The pencil OF the busy year,
Had drawn full many an image there.
| paused,-upon the brown earth lay
This trembling captire, while the day,
Just sinking in the western sky,
Was whispering soft good by"
And up amid the fading trees.
Were heard the footsteps of the breeze.
Wan. pale, and faded, which before,
The Summers s touch had garnlshed DER,
With lines of living greenland high,
1t trembIed meath summer sky,
Amid smiling family,
That fall and wither silently.
Cray messenger Of storm and cold,
When thy stricken form behold,
wander mid the joyous Spring,
When thou vert but tender thing
just springing into life, and trace
The changes of thy fragile race.
The inspiring breath of Spring awoke
The dormant liie-tide, and bespoke
a miIder reign, when birds AMI flowers,
Should cheer the joyous summer hours;
At her command the trees were seen,
Arrayed in robes of living green.
The air grew dark.-the noonday sun
Retired from many fowery nook,
And green and darker grew the vale,
Where flowed the silver-tongaed brook.
Now mid the forest, all unseen,
A potcer seems moving greatand still,
Its footsteps stain the woodland green,
And mar The verdure of the hill;
The sun is glancing mid the trees
The leaves go sailing on the breeze,
And voices everywhere we hear,
That whisper of the dying year.
The birds in mutual conference,
Sit chatting in some leafiess bower.
Then without any compliment,
They start upon their Southern tour.
How eloquent this faded leaf,
Like mine, vain man, thy life is brief,
Like me ye fade, like me ye fall
The waiting earth viii gather all,
Your towering hopes of earthly bliss,
" Ill fade in such world as this"
Already are life's bright green leaves
Their gorgeous luster losing,
And many fair and lovely flower
Its fragrance is refusing;
Already with my longing eyes
l wander TO life's western skies

Which, howsoever the sun and SKY
May tempt its boughs TO wander free,
And shoot, and blossom, wide and high;
Far better loves to bend its arms
Downward again, TO that dear earta.
From which the life, that chills and warns
Its grateful being, first had birth

And fed with fame-if fame it be
