CoRNs-lhe best cure for these trouble
some things that we have ever tried is, to
soak the feet IN hot water for quarter Of an
hour, so that the corn becomes soft. and then
trim IT of as close as possible and not cause
pain. Then take the tineturo of Arbor Vita,
placed upon little cotton, and apply to the
corn, and after few applications, the corn
will not only disappear entirely but will not
be likely to return again,--Seienii6c Ameri-

as It's elements orc derived mainly from the

GRAPE NtNrs-Thcrc arc thousands of a.
cres of rocky hill-sides over the country which
contain sufficiency Of soil in each of the
many clcfts and small hollows for grape vine.
Many of these arc now covered with brush
wood. of no value, and incapable of being
turned TO a good account in any other way
Yet here we have some Of the very best sites
for vineyards, which can be planted with very
little expense except clearing. burning and
strcwing the ashes upon the same ground In
such places the roots delight TO run, provid-
irg there are a few inches of soil 90 cover
them. for they win lap around and creep un-
der the rocks. and draw moisture and nour-
ishmcnt from the stone itself This is ono Of
the most natural positions of the grape vine,
in which. if the most luNuriant growth be not
secured, there win be a good crop Of finely
favored fruit, and an absence Of some
of those diseases that we have often TO
complain of in a more artificial state of cul-
ture. Here the branches may be allowed to
rumble over the rocks and inequalities of the
surface; and, excepting judicious pruning,
take their own way, and it needs no poets
culogy 60 portray the beauty Of such pictur-
csquc scenery. HoHicdtri8

the flavor of the sweet butter, and turn
with Frightening eyes to the golden fruit.
And heard him ask her, kneeling by the
smoky hearth, to taste them with him.

FOURTH OF MARcH-WHY SELECTED:
do our readers generally know the rsA-
son why the Fourth Of March was chxsn
as the day for the Inauguration Of the
President of the United Statesi It was
selected because the fourth of March in
every year commencing from the first inaa-
guration, cannot come on a Sunday for st
least three hundred or more pears
This fact shows the regard which the
trainers of our government had for the
Sabbath They arranged the matter so
wisely that the day for the performance Of
the ceremonies Of Inauguration, will not
fall on q Sunday for three hundred years
