EEJoYNG DIVINE SERvCE.-Quite SEN
sation, says the Boston Times of Monday,
was produced yesterday morning in one Of
our principal churches, by the appearance Of
quite a volume of smoke through the front
iines Of the organ The nasal organs, how
ever, soon informed every one that it pro-
ceeded from cigars, aud therefore no alarm
prevailed in regard to personal safety. 1t
appears that the bellows handles Of the organ
protrudol into a room especially provided for
the two "blowers, and they, finding that they
could not enjoy the excellent sermon, had set
to smoking IN the most comfortable manner,
aud the organ proved most perfect couduc-
tor Of the smoke from their private apart
meuts TO the church. This is the first time
that we have ever observed the pipes Of an
organ TO partake of the characteristics ald
utility OF Meerschaums.

PRUNING AND CuITURE or CURRANTs- -
No fruit pays better for good culture than
the Currant, yet none Is more generally neg.
lecled As there is likely to be scarcity OF
summer fruits this year, owing to the deatruc-
tion of the peach and cherry buds, &c, all
who have currant bushes should bestow upon
them special attention. so as to Increase their
fruitrulness Old and neglected bushes
should have some Of the old branches cut
away, so as to give the young shoot chance
TO fill their places and these should be
thinued ont, if numerous. and shortened il
long, so ao not to crowd each other But
especially dig out tie grass, if any, about tho
roots, and apply good dressing of manure
and ashes, spading it I'M and when the hot
weather commences, cover the entire surface
under the nushes with tan bark, saw dust,
old leaves from the woods, or chip dirt from
an old wood pile this will prevent the
growth of weeds, and keep the ground moist,
greatly promoting the quantity aud quality Of
the fruit.
Gooseberry bushes should be treated in
similar way. only more attention should be
given to pruning. Sc as to keep the bushes
open and the leaves aud fruit fully exposed
to the air-cuttng away half of The last

Blood Manures.

The English Agricultural Gazette thus de
scribes tie operations OF The "Cyanic Mamie
Company" OF London, in utilizing animal
blood for rertilizing miXtures. The inanper
in Which it is used is rs follows:
"I}one dust aud crushed copiolies GoFsi!

central axis Of which is the shaft of revoi
wing agtator-so many casks full of blood
are poured in over the bones. and well mix, d
by III, arms upon the working shaft Sui
phuric acid is added to the mixture, which
boils and cIeryesces under the action of the
vitro on the bones and blood, and after
thorough commixture for about ten minutes,
the liquid mass is allowed to escape through
the opened end Of the vessel, and it runs in y
heap upon the carthen floor, where, as it
cools, it hardens and dries. Some lG or l6
large vessels rul Of this mixture are thus
poured out in the course OF the day, forming
at the end OF it a large mass Of probably 40
or tj tons Of manure. 1t coon hardens, and
in day or two is turned over with the spade
and broken small. and is found already dry

Coal AND Woop.-Wood generates heat
more rupdly than coal but pound OF the
latter (authracite) will evaporate three times
more water than a pound Of wood. As =
compact fuel, COAL therefore, is the best for
use IN generating steam, because plenty o!
draft for rapid combustion can easily be OBJ
tanned by blower or tail chimney. As wood
contQ,us a great quantity of oxygen, and an
thracite coal none, less air is taken from an
apartment when wood is used for fuel than
when anthracite coal is used. This is the
reason why the atmosphere of apartments
heated With wood fuel produces, as it were,
a more genial influence, and why such fuel is
also more healthy for heating also Why it
does not require such an amount Of colo air
from the outside to sapply the fire.

TESTING OF CANNoN-At the Ordinance
Department, Washington, cannon are tested
as follows ;-GnnS are cast in any shape
that may he suggested lay the process Of in
vestigdtion. then fired Ia test their lI1ninctlle
force, then fired until they burst, and when
the result has been obtained, with every care
to determine the causes and conditions of the
experiment. sections of the broken metal are
carefully drilled out from different rarts Of
the piece from the muzzle and the breach,
and the inside and outside, and each piece
is subjected to a strain to test its tensile
strength. 1t has been supposed that the
cannon, always cooling from without, and the
outside contracting, therefore, around the in.
side still extended by heat, would become
more brittle but this, in such tests as have
been used. would not seem to have been the
case. A bar cut from the outside Of the
cannon will generally part with about the
same amount Of extension as a bar cut from
the inside, whether it be taken from u longi
tudinal or vertical section of the gun.

OCcupATloN-Wha hat a glorious thing It is
for the human heart. Those who work hard
seldom yield themselves entirely up to fan
'cied or real sorrow. When grief sits down
folds its hands and morulQlly feeds upon its
own tears, weaving the din shadows that Il
little eXertion might sweep away into u
funeral pail, the strong spirit shOrn of its
might, and sorrow becomes our master.
When troubles TOW upon you, dark and
heavy, toll not with the wayes-wresile not
with the torrent, rather seek 10y occupation
to divert the dark waters that threaten TO
oyerwhelm you inlo ii thousand channels
which the duties ul life always prevent. be
fore you dream Of il those waters wall let!l-
i2e the present aud give birth TO fresh flowers
that may brighten tue future--howers thai
will become pure aud holy, in tie sunshine
which peletrates to the path Of duty. in spite
of every obstacle. Gret, after all, is but Il
selfish feeling and most selfish is the man
WHO yields himself to the indulgence Of any
passion which brings no joy to his fellow
man. Mrs. DIM s. Stephens.
