constant cropping speedily exhausts soil OF
phosphorlc acid. But it has fortunately
been found in numbcrcss instances, when
it is restored by the application of guano,
barren places arc once moro to "bloom and
blossom rs the rose"
This subject is an important one, and
well deserving the attention of our farmers.
While we can well understand their natural
aversion to incurring excessive expendi
lures, If ii can be shown that these cuanos
can be purchased at such prices as will ena-
bic them, by increased crops, and the improve
mcnt Of their soils, to make profit by
using them, they arc well worthy of their
consideration. In Scotland, where farmers
are particularly thrifty and Intelligent, cx
tremcly large quantities Of artificial fertii
zcrs are constantly used, notwithstanding
the very economical habits of the farmers fo,
the reason, it is alleged, that they are era
b!ed to greatly promote their own interests
10y purchasing the respective varieties Of
guanos, superphosphatc of lime, etc., and
rcaping Il rich profit for the money thus in

Tile EcH IF But Tcmpcr.-A bad
temper is curse to the possessor, and its
influence is most deadly whenever it is
found. 1t is allied to martydom to be
obliged to live with one Of complaining
temper. To hear one eternal round of
complaint and murmuring, to have every
pleasant thought scared away by their evil
spirit, is sore trial. 1t is like the sting
Of scorpian-a perpetual nettlc, destroy
ing your peace, rendering life a burden.
Its influence is deadly; and the purcst and
sweetest atmosphere is contaminated into
deadly miasma where this evil genius
prevails. 1t las been said truly, that while
we ought not to let the bad temper of 9th.
ers influence lis, it would be rs reasonable
10 spread a blister upon the skin, and not
expect tito draw, as to think Of u family
not suffering because Of the bad temper Of
any one Of its inmates. One string out of
tuno will destroy tho music Of an instru.
mcnt otherwise perfect, so if all tho nom i.
bcrs of church, neighborhood and family,
do not cultivate kind and alfectionate
temper, there will bo discord and evil
work.

Tile Loss Of Early Purity Of CA4yoc-
ter.-Orer the beauty Of the plum and the
apricot, there grows bloom and beauty
more exquisite than the fruit itself-a soft
delicate plush that oyersprcads its blush ing
cheek Now if you strike your hand over
that, and it is gone, it is gone for ever, for
it grows but once. Take the flower that
hangs III the morning npcarlcd in dew
arraye'l as no queenly woman ever was ar
raycd with jewels. Once shake il so that
the beads roll off, and you may sprinkle
water over it as carefully as you please, yet
it can never be made again what it was
when the dew fell silently upon it from
heaven! On frosty morning you may
sec the pancs Of glass covered with land
scapc, mountains, lakes, trees, blending in
beautiful, fantastic picture. Now lay
your hand upon the glass, and by the
scratch Of your finger, or by the warmth
OF your palm, all tho delicate tracery will
be oblitcratcd! SO there is in youth a
beauty and purity Of character, which when
once touched and deiilcd, can never be re-
stored; fringe more delicate than frost
work, and which when torn or broken. will
never be re embroidered. A man who has
spotted and spoiled his garments in youth,
though lie may seek to make them white
again, can never wholly do it, even were he
to wash them with his tears. When n
young man leaves his fathers house, with
the blessings Of his mothers tears still wet
upon his forehead, if he once loses that
early purity Of character, it is a loss that
he never can make whole again. Such is
the consequence Of crime. Its effects can.
not be cradicatcd; it can only Lc forgiven.
1t is a stain Of blood that we can never
mako white, and which can be washed
away only in the blood Of Christ that
"cleanscth from all SIM"

ENGLISH WOMEN In PARIS

ENGLISH WOMEN IN PARIS.
The following sketch Of English women
as they are seen in Paris, is from the pei,
of Il witty French woman:
In general, the most triling acts of an
English woman are the results of a fixed
determination. They know nothing of the
impulses, the nonchalance, or the vivacity
OF Frenchwoman. They never do one
thing rather than another through indif.
ference; everything is the result Of dc.
cision. even their manner of walking, con
versI"s, loving, or praying. They do not
des''c y thing-they will it. They don't
waIk-they march, because they have fixed
on marching; they so straight-to moth,
ing; they set out to procccd-nowi,ere in
particular. No matter-tlley have dc.
cidcd; they will arrive at some place or
other, aud their very mode of walking
seems TO say, | will certainly go to no
place else. They possess interior laws which
rule their conduct; they have an interior
judge which promptly decides everything
without appeal. With them everything is
predetermined; everything is the natural
consequences of previous arrangement
an ciiort-a preparation, us it were, for u
journey; they embark for every Object
This is, perhaps, the consequence of their
occupying an isle out of which they can
not stray by chance or intentiou-which
they cannot quit without Il degree Of reso-
luton. This rcsolute spirit, which is 50 de-
voi'! of grace when applied to the light and
indifferent concerns of life, is Of great cf-
iicacy when directed to matters Of impor.
tancc
The English ladies' are wonderfully Or
lsina' in their style Of dress. Ii we ad-
mlrcd the British beauties with bitterness
and envy, We hail with delight the fanlas-
tically attircd beauties of another sort,
which it pleases Pu.f'le Ilijiom TO send us !;
and VIC say to her double glory, that ii the
modern Venus, that is, beauty herself, has
arisen from the clear British Channel, the
other goddess whom it is not ours TO name,
las scrambled up from muddy pool of
the Thames. In fact, we recognize in our
neighLors beyond sea the double suprcm-
acy OF furnishing lis women the most beau
liul, and women most remarkable for the
opposite quality. The English never do
things by halves; they are handsome to
perfection, or they push ugiincss to de-
formlly, and then they cease to be women.
They are fossil beings unknown to creation,
whose spccies, infinitely varied. admit Of
no classification. One resembles an AGED
fowl, another a superannuatcl stccd, this Il
young donkey, many resemble dromeda-
rcs, and some the hir<utc bison. Quietly
seated i'll u s:'loon,and appropriately dressed,
they are honestly ill-tavorc'!, and no one
thinks more about it; but IN costume

The Making Of Carpets. are
TWO characteristic processes in making Il
carpet-onc adopted for the more costly
varieties, and the other for those of lesser
cost. In The case of the former, there is a
frame which the foundation of the carpet is
III stretched, an! into and between the mesh

culiar KIND OF knot tastcns eacl, little tuft
and the arrangement of the front surface
according us ii is loopell, or cut, or shcarcd,
produces the various kinds of pile. velvet,
and other carpets. Tic other or chcapcr
kinds are produced rather by the ordinary
process of weaving, in Which shuttle, or
set OF shuttlcs, throws i'll the coored wctt
threads among the warp,-pccuiar atlapta.
;lons OF double weft or double warp Lc.
ing employed according to the particular
kind to be produced. In tapestry and in
the real Turkey carpet, the manufacture
bears some resemblance to Iacc.makinn.
inasmuch rs the fabric or foundation of the
carpet Is made by the Same slow and pa
t'cnt hand processes as the decorative sur
tace,-the warp threads being previously
arranged, and the rest worked in by hand.
In all these carpets, each yarn or scpa-
rate thread is dyed of one color ll-ourh. .
OUT So that there must be as many separate
yarns as coors in the carpet. Now one Of
the modern novelties in carpet MAKING is
to apply to it principle which produces
beautiful results i'll cottons and silks, viz ::
printing the yarns before weaving, so that
each simple thread may have parli.coIored
patterns OF its own. This pattern requires
very nice adjustment, SO that when tl,.
various threads are intcrlaccd, each NAV
show The right color at the right spot. a
later novelty, is the application of the
powcr-loom in weaving, with the printing
process in ornamenling. The yarn is SUP
Jected to no dycing or printing whatever :;
1t remains i'll the state Of white worsted,
and Is III that state woven by the power
loom. Then, after the weaving, the whole
carpet is printed with rich colors, in such =
way us to send the dye through the whole
subs!ance.-Boston Bulletin.
