,Elle Ancient Druids.

No system of idolatrous worship ever gained
greater ascendancy over the minds of men than
that of the ancient Gauls and Britons. Rough,
reckless and barbarous as they were, their
priests led them as though they had been lambs.
These priests possessed both civil and criminal
jurisdiction, and they were exempt from the
dangers of war and the demands of taxation
They imposed the most rigid laws upon their
subjects; and severe and terrible were the pun
ishments they visited upon the heads of offen-
ders. The awe which they inspired was so great
that, although no other guard than that of the
deep forests were thrown around the treasures
which they accumulated, no robber was so dar-
ing as to modest their spoils, or attempt to make
them his prey These priests practised the she'd
ding of human blood at their sacrifices. The ut
most mystery and gloom seemed always to how
er about their haunts; and their sltars were the
shrines of violence and murder. Such were the
Druids and the influence which they exerted
over their followers. extended into another world
for theytaught the doctrine of the transmigra-
ton of souls and that their power to infict
punishment did not end with the present life Of
their victim. But dark and terrible as was the
sway of the Durids it had its use in restraining
that wild and warlike people. When that use
was fulfilled, they were swept away. They had
ruled by violence and blood, and they were vi
olently destroyed for their blood quenched the
fire Of their burning homes, as they died by the
sword, amid their consecrated groves and affairs,
in the reign of the Emperor Nero.

fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more women than toll or sorrow.
Obedience to fashion is great transgression of
the laws of woman's nature, a greater injury to
her physical and mental constitution, than the
hardships of poverty and neglect. The slave
woman at her task will live and grow old, and
see two or three generations Of her mistrsses
pass away.
The washer-woman, with scarcely ray o.
hope to cheer her in her tolls, will live to see
her fashionable sisters all die around her, and
the kitchen maid is hearty and strong when the
lady has to be nursed like a sick baby. 1t is
sad truth that fashionable pampered women are
almost worthless for all the ends of human life.
They have little force of character they have
still less power of moral will, and quite as little
physical energies.
They live for no purpose they accomplish no
worthy ends; they are only doll forms in the
hands of miliners and servants, to be dressed
and fed to order. They bless nobody and save
nobody. They write no books, they set no rich
example of virtue and womanly life. If they
rear children servants and nurses do it all, save
to give them birth. And when reared what are
scions of the old stock Whoever heard of the
child of a fashionable woman exhibiting
any power of mind for which it became emil
nent? Read the biographies Of great men and
women, who had about as little to do with
fashions as will the changing clouds

California a Fruit Country.

correspondent of the N. 7. Endepesdent writ.
ing from San Francisco under date of June
18th. describing the various fruits of California,
writes as follows:-"Speaking of strawberries,I
am reminded that we are now in the height Of
me season for this delicious fruit, although it is
SAID they will be in this market till late in the
fall. Two principal crops are raised, but they
have been picked few of course, in every
month of the year in the open air. l recently
visited a patch at Oakland, across the Bay.
and learned some marvellous facts in regard to
the culture of this fruit
There are t,co hundred acres of plants in that
township alone, and large quantities are grow n
in other adjoining places. One man has fifty
acres, and expects to realize profit of twenty
thousand dollars this year. Last year he had
fifteen acres, and his profits were seven thou
Sand. From one to two tons a-day cross on the
ferry-boat now. The price early in the season
is one dollar pound. 1t is now twenty cents.
In the interior, at some places, it is one dollar
and half.
Peaches also are great crop in this state.
One man at Narysville has orchards worth an
incredible sum. His profits last year were fifty
thousand dollars, and he expects they will DO
| this year hundred thousand! This sounds
marvellous, but have it good authority.
Pears also do finley here. But grapes grow in
profusion. and of immense size and delicious
favor, and are SO plenty in the season that they
are always seen standing on the table in most
dwellings,, and are eaten freely. A friend says
he never saw, anything in the reality that sp-

TO Obtain Fruit From Barren
Trees.

wish to describe to you method of max
ing fruit trees bear, that l Numbered on to.
Some fifteen years ago had small apple tree
that leaned considerably. l drove stake by
it, tied string to the limb and fastened it to tho
stake. The next year the limb blosscmed full
and not another blossom appeared onthe tree and
in time, as Bunker says, it aot me to thinking
and 1 came to the conclusion that the string
SO tight that it prevented the sap
returning to the roots, consequently it formed
fruit buds. Having couple of pear trees that
were large enough to bear but had never BIOS
somed, took coarse Irvine, wound it several
times around the tree above the lower limbs,
and tied i: as tight as l could. The next spring
all the top above the cord blossomed as white as
a sheet and there was not one blossom below
where the cord was tied. A neighbor seeing
my trees loaded with pears, used this method
with the same result.
/ think it a much better way than cutting off
the roots Early say in June or July, wind
strong Irvine several times around the tree or
single limb, and the tighter the better, and you
will be pleased with the result. The next win
ter or spring the cord may be taken of.

And wondered why they should be so shy,
But then bethought OF the soul and the eye,
Repeating that pretty phrase
met with large bright laughing pair,
Which gave me full, sweet ance,
And thought tha' the soul that beAming there,
Tie divinest, nobest gifts must share,
That world of love enhance.
There are eyes that give US naughty glance,
As though they would never own
That the same impartial God is ours,
Though With yayer gems aud more lovely flowers
Their paths Of life are strown.
We know that the soul though humble here,
Gan be noble aoith0ut the gold,
And We seek Tor eyes where the son looks through,
With glance ths.'s nCble, and pure and true,
Though hid meath honey fold.
Then we meet with eyes through lifes devious path,
Which we cannot help but shun;
There's something there which we can't define,
IT'S not the gla..ce of soul divine,
Nor wink of mrth or fuu.
But eur Utmost heart shrnks from their glance,
And We think II those words are true
That the ., 90 are the windows OF the soul

Though many trials Of life they bear

There are eyes where mirthfulness ghmmsrs out,
As the stars twinkle out in the night,
And il it's your lot to be WI h them long,
YOU'RE sure to burst out in . happy song
Those eyes made your heart SO light.
There eyes that glitter with soft Rnd smiles

At the tiuklish hearts command.
There's pair without particular shade,

Reveal the truth that the heart is true,
So plainly see the soul shine through,
And bow ~ their mystic shrine.
And then, there are eyes can scarcely read,

We gaxe on the langu shiug beautiful eyes,
And never dresm they disguise
Till we're humbugged sure and certain.
There are eyes that overflow with tears,
When the heart is afar off, scheminE,
You'd think they were sympathy's dwelling place,
That few such souls would redeem race,
But tell you It's Idle dreaming.
Oh, prize eye where the soul beams forth

Too lovely to crumbe in the grave

SOPHIE ALLAN.

Courage, Sophie we are nearly home"
The young bride looked out on the broad sha-
dy avenue, along which they were rapidly dIiv-
ing, and sank back with weary sigh. 1t was
all SO strange--so like dream. That solemn
ceremony at the altar. congratulations, sobs and
adieus, familiar faces strange sights and sounds,
all f1oated before her, and rang in her ears and
reproduced themselves in her dreams, from
which she was continually starting, awakened
by a sudden terror-the thought of meeting her
new found relatives. Would Allans mother
kiss her, and his sisters welcome her7 Could
she ever feel at home among them, and would
they be like him-tall, aid dark, and silent
Should She
The carriage stopped, and SO did Sophie's
heart-or. at least, she fancied that it did-for
a moment. Perhaps Allan OWNED her terror,
for he pressed her as they went up the broad
steps, and through the spacious hall into a
handsome saloon, where, standing in the mid
die of the floor, was a fair erect woman, with
handsome features, who held out small plump
hand, AMI laid, in voice that gave the lie d.
rect to her words:
81 am happy to see you, Mrs. Allan-my
daughter Kate, motioning towards a handsome
girl, who h ad risen larguidly on their en-
| trance.
"Glad to see you Mrs. Faulkner. You see
give you the full benefit of your new title.
You must excuse mother If she is not yet mag
unanimous to do the same"
All this time the brilliant eyes were dehber-
ately scanning the trembling Sophie from head
to foot ..-..-.
Was this her welcome? Words died away
upon her tongue. She was reused from hel
stupor by the sarcastic voice of Mrs. Faux
ner:
Il see you are sleepy, Mrs Allan-before
you retire permit me to present to you my
younges. daughter. Francis"
Sophie looked up, and saw girl who might
have been either eighteen, or twenty, SO little
was her age denoted by her appearance-light
haired, frecked, plain, almost ugly, who, Civ
ing her an ngracious nod. turned away to hel
book, with an air that said plainly, she consid
cred 1t of more Importance than all the brides
in the world.
Alans dark eye flashed fire, but he only hur
ried Sophie away to her room, where, by an un
wonted gsyety and tenderness, he strove t.
raise her evidently tagging spirits succeeding
SO well, that she was enabled 70 enter the draw

Beneath whose clnds she sleeps,
And holsters up the form,

Withered in youths bright day;
Weeps that the monster Death

Now creeps the myrtle vine,
And rose and snow drop wave
Over the mourners shrine.

So much around her grave;

But bid thy soul look up.

To stand life's storms once brave,
And bid i; lingeI not
