CoRE.-My limited experience in the culture
Of corn, much incnes me to favor the practice
of cutting of the tops at an early day. The
reason for so doing ia brief are as follows
As soon as the corn is full, remove the top.
The hot sun soon sears the cut end of the stalk.
and what supply of nourishment was intended
for the top, is saved for the ear consequently
the ears will ripen fuller than they otherwise
would. If the tops are removed previous to
the high winds accompanying autumnal storms,
the corn will be partially, at least, protected
and saved. The corn will ripen sooner and,
think, sounder.
The tops will be worth double what they
otherwise would be to remain until the corn is
sufficiently ripened to put into shocks.
The sugar contained in the stalk is its real
value. The sooner the top is cut after it attains
its full growth the more is saved. II suffered
to remain, nearly all of its value, escapes by
evaporation.
True, if you cut up and shock before the
corn is quite ripe, you save a trife 10 the value
of the but stalks but not enough to compen-
safe for the loss in the top stalks. The increas-
ed labor in tying up aud shocking will quite
balance that of topping. .-.N'etO Eng. Farmer

Of the present, at East Village. We conclude
from the silence that broods over the affair,
that it was not marked by any very striking
features. The attendance in the woods, we
understand, on Sunday, was very good, aud the
services we're made up Of speaking and singing.
The spirit of a departed aboriginee got hold OF
one chap and the way that Indian giberish
dropped from lis lips, was presumptive evidence
that he was the chap for his part. A female

our home sprituasts, not quite assured of the

some generously screening monarch Of the

that this train is to be restored. We know not
whether these intimations have all authoritative
basis or not, but if they are well founded, the
return of that train with CHARLEY MoREHousE,

sition along the liue. The story is that an en-

INcENDIARIsM- towns Of Preston and
North Stoniug,on Conn, have been much alarm
cd and excited BY the conduct Of desperate
villain named Henry Chapman, who on the night
Of the 9Th burned nine barns and store along
tho road between the two places. Chapman
some years ago married the daughter Of Mr..
Eleazer Wheeler, in Stouington, but his con-
duct Of late has been such that his wife applied
for divorce. Chapman 10 his rage proceeded
to take revenge on various parties supposed to
be inimical to him. He passed in the night
from barn to barn, setting fires. until he reach.
ed the residence Of his father-iH-law. After fir
ing his barn he attempted to burn MIR. Wheel
er's house, and was shot by son Of Mr. w.
from window while in the act. The iucendia-
ry ran Of, but the next day was found dead
near by, to the great relief to the community.

who is acknowledged to be the greatest
antiquarian in New England. Mr. G., in
order to add another valuable volume Of
legal lore to his already well stocked Ii.
brary, is engaged in hunting up copies Of
the celebrated criminal trials that have
taken place in the state of New Hampshire
Observing in catalogue Of books issued
by an old and distinguished publishing
house in New York, that copy of a trial
he was in search of, was for sale, Mr.. G..
Immediately wrote to the firm requesting
them to forward it to him. By due cpufse
of mail he received letter informing him
that the copy Of the trial he desired had
been sold but that they would procure
another copy for him, and that their busi-
ness was so extensive both in this country
and in Europe, that they could furnish
him aVith COPY Of any trial he might
des'yp. Mr.. G having been placed in the
same position several times by attempting
to purchase catalogue books with the pri'
ces annexed, wrote back the following
short but pithy note -

CHRISTIAN VIRTUE oE TRUTH.--Let me
say, then, to the young of my charge, you
never con have Too high an ideal as re-.
spects the Christian virtue of truth. If
you are going to sin, be heroic and sin on
the side Of truth. We are surrounded in
this world BY ten thousand petty tempta.
tions to mean little faults, ann it is neces.
sary that the young, in these states and
times should lift themselves up on the
highest plane of heroism and OF manly
character. Avoid falsehcod in all it's va.
ried forms and, repeat, if you sin at
all, sin On the side of truth. Where men
give you permission to do wrong, let it be
as though they gave you permission to eat
dirt. If you we're told that you might eat
dirt, you would say, 81 don't want to eat
dirt, and won't touch it," And when
they tell you that you may falsify and
evado and deceive, do you rise up in the
dignity of true manhood, and say, Why
should ! want such permission I am
a child of light, and not child of dark.

MISCELLANEOUS.
From the Home journal.
" Mother Made it, "

A few weeks since, while in one of the
beautiful inland cities OF Wisconsin, an in.
cident occurred which awakened in nv
mind train of reflections which possibly
may be written and read with advantage.
was hurrying along the street, when
my attention was arrested by the appear.
ance of little boy on the side Of the
pavement, selling candy. He was not
really beautiful, nor was he decidedly the
reverse. His age was about nine years
his clothes were old and faded, but well
patched His candy was spread upon
course, white cotton cloth neatly streatch.
ed over what had been japanned server.
He was surrounded by small group of
boys evidently belonging to different grades
of society.
AS | came nearly opposite him the oft
repeated interlude, " Candy, sir ?" fell up.
on my ears. and although opposed to the
excessive use of candy, stepped aside to
patronize the light-hearted, pale, freckled
home-spuu little representative of trade.
l purchased of him, partly for his encour.
agement, but with particular reference to
the friendship of the little folks of the
family with which I was a temporary
guest.
The candy was as white as the cloth
beneath it, being free from the very pois-
onous coloring ingredients so extensively
used in the confectionery art. tasted
it, and found it delicately favored and
very nice,
MY boy" said /, your candy is very
good let me have little more"
| Immediately saw that my remarks
had awakened in his young heart emotions
which in themselves, were quite abstract
from the candy trade His countenance
beamed with JOY as be raised his large
eyes, sparkling with delight, and observed
in reply -
1t is good isn't it3 Mother made
H."
In these few words was embodied an
unconscious exhibition of character. Here
was spontaneous outburst of tilial affec-
ton.
Now this incident in itself was tr.hing
but the spirit of the language carried my
mind back through life more than thirty
years, and at irregular intervals bade me
pause and apply the sentiment to some
item connected with my own history.
Before making the application, however
l wish to disabuse myself of the charge.
which such application may incur, of ap-
propriating to myself the nobility of
character which | have above attributed
to the candy boy. Holding myself er-
empt from this arrogance, would plainly
say, am not ashamed of the profession
OF my affection for my parents and hope |
may not outive that profession.
When was little boy at school, and
carried my dinner in satchel made Of
