The Old Soldier.

l have often occasion to pass throug h
village on the St. Albans road, says a
correspondent Of Eliza Cooks Journal, at
the end of which there is SO tidy and con-
venient public house, that always give
my horse his bait there, if 1 happen to be
travelling in my gig. had frequently
observed an old soldier who having lost an
eye, leg, and an arm, in the service of
his country, had pretty we'll earned the
privilege of idling away the rest of his life
in a manner particularly congenial with
the habits of his calling.
What most interested me about this man
was his love for young children. He was
generally surrounded by parcel of curly
headed urchins and often have I seen the
mistress Of the little inn consign her infant
to the protection Of his one arm, when by
an arrival, she had been called upon to
attend to the business of the house. The
old fellow never appeared SO well contented
as when thus employed. His pipe vas
ia'd aside, his beer forgotten, and he would
only think Of amusing and caressing his

The Disobedient Kitten.

."Now," said one old puss to one of he,
children, as she washed her face and paws,

next gcutleman's yard, for great dog Jow-
lsr lies there; he has herrid teeth and a
terrible snarl, and he is always on the look.
out for stray cats. Remember, and keep
at home; we have snug garden, sweet
haymow, kind friends, capital titbits, and
work enough-rats and mice plenty. So
do not stroll off with bad company, visit
ing places where you have no business to
be, and disgracing your bringing up; for
you know better, Kitty, you do"
But Kitty had saucy look she boxed
her mothers ears, in play to be sure,
hoisted her tail, and away she frisked after
a dead leaf. Kit did not look at all like
minding, and after her mother had gone
to bed on the haymow, she kept up her
moonlight rambles, going about nobody
knows where, and cutting up all sorts Of
capcrs, like silly little Kit as she was
One night when she and some of her
thoug ghtless companions we're scudding
across Jowler's yard, he, much disturbed
by their noise at an hour when he thought
all honest folks ought to be abed and asleep
started up and made after them in a vio-
lent rage; and poor Kitty, in her fright,
got entangled in some briar- bushes, and
so fell into Jowler's power. He seized
her BY the neck with his terrible mouth,
shook the breath out of her body, and tos-
sed her over the fence.
Cob, oh| cried Mary and Willy, when
they found their little favori.e stiff and
cold the next morning! "Oh," cried their
mother, pussy's mistress, "you little puss!

SpiritualitV.

We sometimes hear that class Of persons
who are seeking, through the aid of "me-
diums," SO called, to penetrate the myste-
ries ola higher life, denominated "spiritu-
alists." And these persons, so far as our
observation goes, regard themselves as hav-
ing higher spiritual affinities and yearnings
then the majority of those around them
Just the contrary is the truth; for, as any
one may see, they have no interior spiritual
instincts; their minds being so immersed in
what's eternal and material, that they will
not believe until proof comes to the very
senses ofAe body. Thus, they require rap
pings, writings, and movements of material
substances. The true spiritualist rises in
wardly, through publication from evil and
sensual things, into the perception of spirit
uai truths as governing principles of his
life; but the false spiritualist (rather ma
terialist) deseends to lower planes, by mere
hearkening through the bodily senses, for
Hose utteraneos which can only be made,
dlscreetly, in higher sphere. Can we
wonder that, as general thing, these
mediums deny the inspiration of the
Bible, and that, in the erection of their
Babel by which to ascend to Heaven, a con.
fusion of tongues has already seized upon
them! They are blind leaders of the blind,
sna II they pause not must both fail into

Mrs. Stowe in Great Britain.

at least upon any American lady.
/ The Elinburg Scotsman Of Goth Apr
says she "arrived from Glasgow ycsterda

platform Of the railway station was thronge,
by many hundreds of ladies and gentlemen
waiting nominally to welcome, but actu

out doubt, the greatest lion Of the season
On the Weayerly Bridge, also, a larg'
crowd had collected As Mrs. Stowe step

was raised, and the greeting continued a:
she passed along the platform leaning or
the arm of the Lord Provost toward hi:
Lordship's carriage, which was in atten.
daace, and into which Professor and Mrs.
Stowe, accompanied by his Lordship i'm
mediately entered. The carriage then
drove slowly up the sloping road from the
railway and along the Wcaverley Bridge
toward Princes st, surrounded by crowds
eager to catch glimpse of the world-f "a
nous author of "Uncle Toms Cabin"
In pursuit of this laudable object it must
be confessed that several persons broke
through all ordinary laws of decency and
politeness by hanging on the sides of the
carriage and "glowcring' in for some
minutes as if at the inmates of a wild
beast caravan. BY the increased pace of
the carriage these encumbering admirers
were gradually shaken oH, but throughout
its route westward along Princcs'-st. it
was constantly attended By successive
groups of running footmcn. Mrs Stowe
was very plainly dressed, and seemed both
startled and gratifcd by the extreme warmth
of her reception. In company with Mr..
Wigham, whose guests Mr.. and Mrs. Stowe
are, she and her party visited the Castle,
the University, Heriot's Hospital and the
other points Of interest in the city.
In the evening banquet in honor of
Mrs. Stowe, and in promotion of the Anti
Slavery cause was held in the Music Hall.
About $500 persons were present, the
Lord Provost (Mayor) in the Chair, sup
ported by a band Of Clergymen, mostly
Disscnters.' Afterward the L" Uncle Tom

in small sums throughout Scotland, was
handed to Mrs. Stowe, in the shape Of
Fl, 900 sterling, with request that she
would expend it in whatever way she
might consider best to advance the Abo-

face of the soil in early spring, and mar.
ket gardeners so prepare soil for raising
cabbage plants. Many kinds Of the small.
Ter weeds are destroyed by a coating Of six
bushel of common salt per acre after plow-
ing, and few days before planting. Some
weeds, embracing quite large class, may
be done away With by two plowings at .
few weeks apart, and when the field is in
tended for late crops, this may readily b
done.
Where neglected corner is 50 full Of
weeds that they cannot be got rid Of by
ordinary means, then salt the soil 50 heavi.
ly as to destroy all growth, and by losing
the use of it for one year, and adding lime

they soon separate in the soil by chemical
influences, and thus cease to be salt.
Root and other hoed crops enable rs to
get rid of many weeds, when the crops
receive proper attention-thus . carrot
crop, if properly attended, will secure the
removal of weeds. The use of properly
constructed cultivators among root crops
if used sufficiently often, will save much
labor in the removal of weeds, for they
will turn out every weed between the rows,
leaving those only in the rows to be re.
moved BY hand or by the hand hoe. The
use of the push or sevfae hoe in skillfal
hands, will do much to save the soil from
weeds; if applied to proper depth in q
we'll disintegrated soil, it cuts off the weeds
and in the back action draws thom above
the surface, to decay without replanting
the roots. Horse-hocs arealso constructed
SO as to cut weeds deeply, and to leave
the entire weed, root and all, on the sur.
face to decay.
Never leave weeds a few days longer,
because they are not going to seed. Large
weeds seldom come forth with so much of
their roots as smaller ones, and then their
increased size robs other plants of their
proper food, nor will their decay on the
surface restore all they have robbed, again
to the soil, for large part of the nitro
genous portion Of their constituents will
be lost in the atmosphere. Salt and lime
mixture, used in composts, destroys the
accidental weed seed from the stable, BY
assisting in their more perfect dccompo-
sition. Hog-pen manure will decomposs

NV Alam.Clock.

An alarm-clock not only tells the time
of day, but it can also wake people up in
the morning. l have such clock in my
chamber Every morning about five o
clock, it sets up such a whizzing and ring
ing that it wakes me up. "What nice
way to be reused up" some of my many
readers will say. Yes, it is a very good
way, IF 1 ALWAYS GET Up WHEN II
WAKES Me- But last summer, one morn.
ing, instead of getting up when my clock
walked me, l turned over and went to
sleep again. The next morning did the
same thing, and in the course Of few
days my clock, though it made as loud a
noise as ever, would not wake me. "Why
how strange" you will say. Strange or
not, yet it is true; my clock would not
wake me any longer; it would not wake
mc,sbecausc l did not get out of bed those
two or three mornings. l had formed the
habit of neglecting it.
| have often thought, that my alarm
clock was very much like ones conscience;
so much like it, that you might call every
body's conscience, their alarm-clock :.
Now, every person who knows Gods
will has such an alarm-clock in his own
breast so that whenever he is going to
do wrong, "whiz." "wLiz." goes the alarm,
saying, "That is not right; you must not
do that; God sees you" Isuppose every
reader has had his conscience checking
him as he was about doing wrong. And
if it we're not for ones conscience, there
is no telling what awful sins We should
commit. Ii 1T WERE NOT FOR CON-
SCIENCE, WE MIGHT ALL JUST AS SOON
COMMIT MURDER AS NOT. How impor
taut it is to have conscience that always
tells us when We do wrong, and that checks
us when we are going to do wrong!
But, We must hear conscience when it
speaks. If we always stop when con-
science says stop; if we always do what
it tells us to do, then we shall always hear
it, and by the help Of the Holy Spirit it
will keep US from SHINING. But if we get
into the habit Of not doing what conscience
tells US to do, after while We shall not
hear it at all; our conscience will become
hardened, and we shall be ready to commit
any sin however great
In the towa in which live, there is
boy now IN jail for breaking into store
at night and stealing money. This boy
once went to Sunday-school, and perhaps
had as faithful a conscience as any boy
that reads this paper. But he commenced
doing wrong in little things. His con-
science used to say, "Robers, that is
wrong; you ought not to do that" But
he did not obey his conscience. He went
on doing worse and worse, until, as l
said, he is now in Jail for stealing money.
Remember, that you always get up when
the alarm-clock wakes you. Whenever
your conscience tells you to do anything,
do it and whenever it tells you to stop,
stop. Try to have your conscience
instructed by the Bible, and then ALWAYS
