is not great calamites that embtter existence;
1t is the petty veXations small ealousies, the lit
tie dIsaPPointments, the mror mseries, that
make the heart heavy and the temper sour
Don't let them. Anger is pure waste of vi
tallty; 1t is always foolish, and always disgrace
tul, except in some very rare cases, when il is
klndled by seeing wrong done to another; and
even that noble rage seldom mends the matter
Keep in good humor.
No man does his best except when he is
cheerful. light heart makes nimb!e hands,
and keeps the mind fair and alert No mislor-
tune is SO great as one that sours the temper
Until cheerfuness is lost, nothing is lost =
Keep in good humor
The company of good humored man is a
perpetual feast; he is welcomed everywhere
eyes glisten at his approach, and difficulties
vanish in his presence. Franklin's indomita-
bic good humor did as much for his country in
the old Congress as Adams fire, or Jeferson's
wisdom; he clothed wisdom with smiles, and
soitened contentious minds into acquiescence.
Keepi in good humor
A good conscience, sound stomach, clear
skin are the elements of good humor! Get
them, and-be sure to keep in good humor

THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH.

The cred Death" had long devastated the
country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal,
or so hideouS. Blood was lis AVIATOR and its
seal-the horror Of blood. There were sharp
pains, aud sudden dizziness, and then proiuse
bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The
scarlet STAINS upon the body, and especially upon
the face Of the victim, were the pest ban which
shut him out from the sympathy Of his fellow
men. And the whole seizure, progress and
termination of the disease were the incidents OF
half an hour.
Bot The Prince Prospero was happy and
dauntless and sagacious. When his domnions
Were half depopuIated, he summoned to his
presence a thousand hale and li4hi-hrarted
friends from among the knights and danes of
his court, and with these retired 10 the deep
secusion Of one Of his castellatpd abbeys This
was an extensive and magnificent structure, the
creation of the Princes own eccentric vet au-
gust taste. A strong and lofty wall girdled it
in. The wall bad gates iron. The courtiers,
having entered, brought furnaces and massive
hammers and welded the bolts. They resolved
10 leave means neither ofingress or egress to
the sudden impulses of despair or of frenzy
from within. The abbey was amply provsioned
With such precautions the cour,iers might bid
dpfance to contagion. The external world
could take care of itself. In the meantime il
was folly to grieYe or TO think. The prince bad
provided all The appliances of pleasure. There
were bnfoons, there were improvisatori, there
were balet-dancpTs, there were musicians,
there was beauty, there was wine. All these
and security were within. Without was the
"Red Death" il was toward the fifth or sixth
month OF bis seclusion, and while the pesilence
ragged most furiously abroad, that the Prince
ProsPero entertained his thousand friends al
masked ball OF the most unusual magni6cence.
II was voluptuous scene, that masquerade.
But first let me tell of the rooms in which il was
held. There were seven-an imperial suite.
In many palaces, however, such suites form
long and straight vista, slide back nearly TO the
walls on either side, SO that the view Of the
whole extent is scarcely impcded Here the
case was very different; as might have been ex-
pected from the Dukes love Of the bizarre.-
The apartments were so irregu!arly disposed
;hat the vision embraced but little more than
one at time. There a sharp turn at every
twenty or thirty yards and at each turn a novel
effect. To the right and lett, in the middle of
each wall, narrow Gothic window looked out
upon a closed corridor which pursued the vi ind
lngs Of the suite. These windows were of

WE REAR NO wAR-DgFYtNo FLAG.
BY R. STORY.

We rear no war-defying flag,
Though armed for battle still;
The feeble, if he like, may brag-
The powerful never will.
The flag we rear in every breeze,
Float where it may, or when,
Waves forth signal o'er the seas
Of "Peace, goodwill to men!''
For arms, we wait across the waves
The fruits of every cline;
For death, the truth that cheers and saves:
What mission more sublime
For flames, we send the lights afar
Outilashed from press and pen;
And for the slogans used in war,
Cry-ssPeace, goodwill to men %
But, are there states who never cease
To hate OF envy ours3
And who esteem our wish for peace
As proof of waning powers?
Let them but dare the trial High
Shall wave our war-fag then,
And wo 10 those who change our cry
OF "Peace, goodwill TO men!''

May thou month of rosy beauty
Month when pleasure is a duty;
Month of maids that milk the kline
Bosom rich and breath divine;
Month of bees, and month Of flowers;
Month OF bIossom-laden bowers;
Month of little hands with daisies,
Lovers love, and poets praises;
Oh, thou merry month complete
May!-thy very name is sweet!
May was maid in olden times,
And is still in Scottish rhymes;
Mays the blooming hawthorn bough;
Mays the month that's laughing now.
| no sooner write the word,
Than it seems as though it heard,
And looks up and laughs at me,
Like sweet face, rosily;
Like an actual color bright,
Flushing from the papers whitei
Like bride that knows her power.
Startled in a summer bower.
If the rains that to us wrong,
Come 10 keep the winter long,
And deny Us thy sweet looks,
can love thee, sweet in books
Love thee in the poets pages,
Where they keep thee green for ages,
Love and read thee, as a lover
Reads his lady's letter over,
Breathing blessings on the art
Which comniagles those that part.
There IS Nay = books fofever,
May will part from Spencer never;
Nays in Milton-May's in Prior
May'sin Chaucer, Thomson, Dyer
Mays in all the Italian books;
She has old and modern hooks,
Where she sleeps with nymphs and elves
in happy places they call shelves,
And will rise and dress your rooms
With drapery thick with blooms.
Come, ye rains, then, if you Will,
Nays at home, and with me still;
But come, rather thou, good weather.
And find US in the fields together,

SALT FOR PLUM TREES.

1t is almost impossible to cultivate any kind
of plums IN this climate, unless salt enter lIber-
ally as an ingredient, upon the compost applied
to them. When this article is used in coniunc-
ton with house ashes there appears rarely TO be
much difficulty in producing good and healthy
trees which ultimately prove highly productive
of fair and well developed fruit. When trees
are set in situations in which application of
Of compost is not feasible, or where it would
subject the operator TO considerable fatigue or
expense, salt, in IFS crude state, may be appli-
ed; or ii may be dissolved and poured around
the roots.
! If plum trees were carefully washed down
once or twice year in whiskey ley and suppli-
ed with two or three quarts each of salt-care
being taken 10 retain the soil around the roots
| light and free from weeds, we should hear far
fewer complaints Of want of success in this de-
partment of pomological enterprise. No fruit
commands more ready sale or higher price
in the market. Good plumsareat present soscarce
as 10 render them luxury, and those who have
valuable trees in good bearing are realizing a
heavy profit from them. Let those who have
trees profit by the above suggestion, they indi-
cate the only legitimate cures to be pursued
.Nenc Eng. Farmer.
ECANADA TnIsTLEs should be kept down
either by hoeing or blowing. A plant, weed,
or tree, can no more live without lungs; there
fore, if no leaves are permitted to grow, they
must die. This know from experience, hav-
ing killed several patches on my farm. II a
hoe is used, they should be cut off as deep in
the ground as you can strike the hoe and don't
leave it for the boys and hired men 10 do, but
do it yourself, and see that no green thing is
left. If pIow is used, once in two or three
weeks will be often enough. One summer will
use them up, If 1t is thoroughly done. Be sure
TO attend to them during the months of July
and August, for Nature will make powerful eff
forts during this time to produce seed for the
propagation of the species, for that is her great
object, and this effort on the part of Nature will
draw hard upon the roots and weaken them so
much that if they are cut at this season of the
year they are pretty sure 10 die. 1 once cut
