New PLAY, entitled "The World and
the Stage" has been introduced at the Hay
market Theatre, London. 1t is designed,
says the London Spectator, to vindicate the
theatrical profession from the aspersions
cast upon it. The same paper says the au-
thor of the play, in the excess of his zeal,
almost hints at the impossibility of virtue
beyond the histrionic art The plot OF the
play runs about as follows: OF two sisters,
one turns actress, in order to maintain her
self in II condition OF independence; the
other marries an aristocrat, and moves in
the higher circles. The actress proves her
self to be unexceptionably virtuous and
good. The aristocratic sister compromises
herself so badly with Il young fop that she
is only saved through the generosity of the
actress, who takes the whole weight of suS-
picion upon her own shoulders, and thereby
iorieiis the affections ard hand OF "A gallant
lover of her own. The arisiocratic husband
gets into financial difficulties, and the actress
comes forward and redeems the mortgage
on his estate with her own earnings. The
play was written for Miss Amy Sedgwick,
on the occasion OF her benefit, and she is
said To create n sensation in il exceeding
any thai has ever attended her previous ef-
forts

A SINGULAR COMMUNITY CARRIER OF the
Madison Courier, in recent journey through
Ohio, passed through Mennonite settle
ment, in Cambria Co., of which he gives an
interesting description, and from the tenor
of which we infer that the people in that
section cultivate the useful, and let the
beautiful take care of itself
After describing the farmers buildings,
&C., he says "There are no shade trees, no
carefully arranged yards, no flower gardens,
no flowers, NO grapes; we did not see a
single vine or flower in window, during
that long and tedious ride. These people
have no music, no amusements, no schools,
if they have churches we did not see any of
them. There are no taverns or drinking
houses except ir small village, they are
kept by "outside barbarians," and they
drink no malt liquors. The young men
dress like the old men, and when they reach
to the dignity of flowing beard, can hardly
be distinguished from the old ones. The
girls and unmarried females wear q white
cotton cap, without border, the married
women black cap-and no hoops.

RsA- The Hon. John Young, wealthy
and influential citizen OF Montreal, is now
seeking an act of incorporation for laying a
Transatlantic cable by the way of Labrador,
Greenland, Iceland the Farce and Shetland
Islands. By this route, the longest subma-
rine link would be only 4so miles long
This he considers very great advantage
Mr.. Young was the first protector of the
bridge across the ST. Lawrence-an idea
which was put into shape by Mr.. A NJ Ross,
and which has resulted in the erection of
the greatest engineering work OF that ma
ture in the world. Mr.. Young is man OF
such extensive means and influence, that
whatever he undertakes is conceived by the
public to be half accomplished.

Gather Your Seeds.

Do not suffer your garden proGucts to
scatter their seeds W hen ripe;just where
thsy grew, and then when spring comes,
depend on some thrifty neighbor for seed,
o. else 90 to the store and bay.
Particularly will this apply to those
vino have rare and good seeds. All seeds
should be gathered as soon as ripe, aud
put up in paper bsgs, and the names
written on or if you have not time to
make the bags. lie them NJ in neat pack
ages, but be sure TO label them. so that If
Won are looking for any particular paper,
you need not unite every paper in your
seed box to find it. 1t is very provoking to
distribute seed among friends and neigh
bors-seeds that you have been at some
pains and expense to procure--and then
have them come to you spring after spring
to renew them being so needless as never
to save seed for themselves. This seed,
and borrowing, are children Of the same
family. When our home was new one.
in the wilds of Wisconsin. we had no
flowers, save the wild forest flowers, and
they were all strange faces, though none
the less beautiful for that but our heart
longed for the dear old familiar blossoms
that adorned the front yard at the old
home. So one day came package from
. cousin in Boston. containing thirty va
rieties of nice flowers. No babe was
ever watched more carefully than our flow
ers during that summer; and what
blaze of bloom and beauty they made
and many were the applications for seeds
from neighbors, who had not seen the
like since leaving their homes. We free
ly distributed seeds but alas. year after
year it was the same old story, until
"charity ceased to be virtue" In after
years when the country became more set
tied, and the beautiful shrubbery from
the nursery had found place in the yard.
the demand for our slips was the same.
People who were too poor to buy these
things, would say to me: "Now, Mrs. s.,
give me slip of that rose in the spring"
It would be freely given /; but alas. for
the tender plant, transplanted to an un-
congenial home. and scorched and dried
by the drouth of summer. It died, and
so it was for the want of a little care
that things failed. One half hour in the
evening after supper dishes are washed,
and the milk strained and put away,
might be devoted to gathering your seeds,
and tending your slips from your neigh
boris yard, that she was so kind as to
give you.-NOrthTesterH Farmer.
