Golden Thought.

We know not the author of the fol-
lowing but it IS very pretty:
Nature will be reported. All things
are engaged in writing her history. The
planest pebble goes attended by its shad-
.oN-.a Che rolling rocks leave their maks
on the mountains, the river its channels
in the soil, the animal its bores on the
stratum; the fern and leaf their modest
epitaph in the coal. The falling drop
makes It's sculpture in sand or stone, not
a footstepin the snow, or along the ground
but prints in characters more or less last
ing, a map of its march; every act of the
man inscrlbes itself on the memories of
its fellows and ita own face. 1.-THE air IS
full of sounds-the sky of tokens; the
ground is all memoranda and signatures,
and every object is covered over with hints
which speak to the intelligent"

CarnatiOnS-Pinks.

If you have few choice varieties of
either of the above fine flowers, do not
neglect to propagate them-a store of
such good things Is no sore. The meth
cd to do 1t Is either by layers, or cut half
way through the under side, Just at the
point where, if bent down, it would
touch the ground. The soil should be
stirred up previously, and, if not a sandy
soil, some sand added and the layers
when finished to be fastened into the
ground, with one or two inches of soil on
the top. In very dry spells they will re-
quire occasionally to be watered. The
other method is by cutting, commonly
called for this class of plants "pipings.' -
These should be selected with five or SIX
joints, cut off beneath a joint; split the
bottom up slightly, trim off a portion of
the leaves, shorten the remainder, and in
sert in sand, under a bell glass, frame
or other similar contrivance.

One of our north country pitmen, who
had turned vegetarian, went a courting
to a pIucIy lass in the COlhery village,
and popped the question.
"Oh,' said she, "golong with you
Do you think I'm going to be flesh Cf
your flesh, and you living on Cabbages ?
Get a vegetable marrow, man; l am not
an animal of your sort" And off she
bounced, leaving him like Lord Ullin-
lamenting.

GeraniHnS.

Those who have long lanky Gerani-
ums now growing in pots, may need re-
minding that midsummer Is the time to
cut them back Do this freely; that is
back to a few inches of the old growth.
The OBJECT of this is to encourage a guam
tity of new shoots to start out to take the
place of old ones, often more than we can
we'll find room TO grow. When this is
the case, rub off the weakest, few at a
time, and those otherwise misplaced to
form a model growth. Plants after being
cut 50 severely, viii require bat little
water for some time, as through being
deprived of their foliage, they loose their
power Of assiniIating sap and building
up fresh material. When started about
an inch or so, the roots should be reduced
as we'll as the old soil removed and new
added, placing them into as small pots as
the reduced roots will conveniently 60
into.

Drying Peaches Without PeaIing.

A correspondent of the Louisville Jour
nal communicates a new mode of drying
peaches.
The fuzz is removed by immersing
IN lye, made by boiling wood-ashes in
water, to a tolerable strength, or it may
be made from a solution of potash. The
lye should be warm but not so as to cook
the peaches, which are rubbed-in it for a
short while, and then washed in clear
cold water. Every particle of fuzz will
be removed, and only thin skin remain
they can then be cut and dried in the
usual manner. They loose nothing Of
their sweetness by peeling, and are said
to be Of the best quality for all cooking
purposes.

Root Beer.

Take handful each of yellow dock,
dandelion and sarsaparilla roots, sassa-

boil till the strength Is extracted. To
three gallons of liquor, after it Is strain

cool enough three yeast cakes. Let 1t
stand in a warm place eight or ten hours,
then strain and bottle. 1t will be fit for

ScOurS in Colts.

Boil smart-weed in water enough TO
make a strong tea, and give your colt a
half-pint in two quarts of scalded milk,
twice day. 1t may be well to give the
mare a tablespoonful of sulphur every
other morning, for a week or ten days if
YOU think she is out of condition. In the
instances in which this remedy has been
tried it has proved successful.

A celebrated comedian arranged with
his green grocer, one Berry, to pay him
quarterly; but the green grocer sent in
his account before the quarter was due.
The comedian, in great wrath, called upon

Bs5- On Tuesday last our town was
thr,wn into considerable excitement by
the arrival of some half dozen young
ladies from Mctamora in the custody of
Constable Kennedy and deputy Sheriff
Line. Il seems that the ladies, who by
the by arc of the most respectable class
in Mctamora, had ncighbor woman
who kept, rs they thought, rather dis
orderly house and had more frequent
gentlemen calls at unseemly hours, than
she would perhaps have had if her hus-
band had not been in California. On
Saturday evening last some six or seven
Of the young ladies, as it is allcdged,
called on their neighbor Woman, and rath-
or riotously put both her and her chat
tells out of the house.
The lady thus unccrimoniously dis
possessed, came here and after obtain
ing legal counsel, got out warrant for
her neighbor girls, and it was in obedi-
encc to this, and not because our young
friends Kennedy and Line had any no.
ton of committing matrimony, that
they thus escorted such bevy of young
ladies into town.
The girls gave security for their APP
pearancc on tho rext day and went
home. Wednesday morning they re-
turned accompanied by about half the
citizens Of Metamora, who had been
subpmnaed rs witnesses.
In the meantime an affidavit was filed
charging the prosecuting witness in the
riot case, with n crime much more pen.

tho girls were arrested. Several other
