IIoRTlCULTURAL DISCOVERY,
A friend ofour8, says tho Nevada
(Cal.) Democrat, who has devoted
much of his time for the past three
years to horticulture, has recently
discovered two clicctual methods
to kill the borcrs that are 50 dcs-
tructivc ofruit trees in this corn-
try. The first is to sprinkle a
quantity Of salt around the tree,
then pour water so that the salt
will penetrate to the roots, The
other remedy is to pour about =
pint Of nitric acid around the
roots Of the tree. Either Of thcSc
remedies will kill the borcrs-
also, kill trees, as our friend ha.
learned tollis cost. Fifty oraiXt.y
thrifty fruit trees which he had ii
the carly part Of the season, have
been saccd from the borcrs by the
julicious application Of nitric acid
and salt, and arc now standing
monuments Of the great value o.
the discovery.

TOMATO WINE.--Now that to-
matocs are more abundant than
they have been known to be in
former years, thcfollowing recipe
for making from them wine, said
to be equal to Hcidsicck, will be
ready by everybody. We believe
it was published in the Home
Journal last year, bnt it will not
hurt to publish it again. Take
small ripe tomatoes, pick off the
stems, put them into a tub, wash
thcm clean and then strain them
through a linen bag. zone bushcl
will make five gallons Of druc
wine.) Add two and u half to
three pounds loaf sugar to each
glllon, then put into II casK ana
ferment, and fix as do raspberry
wine. If two gallons Of water be
added to the five gallons ofjuicc,
it will still makca very nice wine.
Brown sugar may be used instead
FLOAT, but the wine is much more
sparkling when loafsugar is used,
The United States might export
this wine by the ship load. Its
said to be a delightful beverage,
equal to lIcidsicck.

One OF THE BEDS TO TuISK ABOUT
A lady in our namesake town, Win
chester, Virginia, has recently been
presented with a novelty, imported
from Geneva, in the shape of musl-
cal bed, which receives the weary
body and Immediately "laps it in Ely
sum- 1t is so constructed that, by
means of hidden mechanism, a press
ure Upan the bed causes q soft and
gentle ais Of Auber to be played,
which continues long enough to lull
the most wakelnl to sleep. At the
head is a clock, the hand Of which
being placed at the hour the sleeper
wishes to rise, when the hour arrives,
the bed plays march Of Spontoul, Or
some other thunder and Lightning
composer, with drums and cymbals,
and, in short, with noise enough to
rouse the seven sleepcrs.

the only son of their host--the veal
thiest man in the village.
Louis looked at Beatrice, and then
at Theresa--thc one poor village
school teacher, an the other veal.
thy daughter Of distinguished law.
ycr-and he could but acknowledge
how far superior, in beauty, grace and
talent, was the humble teacher he had
discarded for his allianced bride.
His eyes were open. lie knew that
he still loved Beatrice, and that with
out her money Theresa would have
been utterly Indifferent to him.
He could bear it no longer. He
stole as soon as possible to Beatrice's
side and said u few words on her CO.
quetry and heartlcSsncss,
She turned her large flashing eyes
full upon him with a look Of contempt.
Mr.. Meredith forgcts HIMSELF she
replied, mildly; 'hS opinion is utterly
Indifferent to me. What right has he
to criticsc my conduct"
She waved her hand in token Of
dismiSSaI; and he left her, with II
strange mixture OF love and anger in
his heart as he saw her again-thc
centre of n circle of admircrs-full
Of life and animation. The hours
flew rapidly, and when at last the gay
company departed, Louis saw with
bitter jealousy that Ralph Mercer
was the devoted attendant Of his dis.
car .cl Beatrice; and he sought his
home angry with himself and with
the world.
The excitement Of the evening was
over and alone in her chamber Bca-
tricc thought Of all that had passed.
She had triumphed; but, alas what
an aching heart had been hidden un-
der that gay exterior!
She had loved Louis Meredith with
all the ardor Of her passionate, but
reserved nature, and not so easily
could she thrust him from her heart.
The struggle to appear happy to de-
ccivc all about her with a SHOW Of in
difference was too much for her. She
longed to be away, and right gladly
she accepted lucrative offer to take
charge of school in Il large town of
Montlord, where she might escape
the sight Of Louis, the reports OF his
approaching marriage, and the Argus
eyes of a whole village.
Mrs. Lancaster made no objections
to the proposed removal, and ere long
Beatrice and her mother left Langdon
forever.

A QUEER OccrRREXcE "A queer in

seems there was calf. some two
months old, confined in lot close to
the Methodist Church, and when Capt.
Lucas brass band commenced TO play
one Of those soul stirring airs which
always arouses to the highest pitch
the feelings and passions Of the human
soul. the calf became intensely excited
and began to dance and leap about
and so continued to do as long as the
music was kept up, until finally it be.

CALAM MlTY.

The Dallas Herald, published at
Dallas, Texas, speaks of very heavy
rains that have fallen in that State
lately. 1t says that gentleman liT-
ing very near West Fork, on returning
home during the heavy rain that was
falling, found his house was being
rapidly surrounded with the flood that
was rushing down the low lands bor-
dcring on the stream. He had wife
and seven children-toOk two Of them
on his shoulders and carried them over
the water to IL shed on the premises,
placed them upon it, and started back
for the other children and his wife,
lie had not gone far, when cry from
the shed, drew his attention; he looked
back, and discovered it floating off
with his two children on it. lie rush
ed after it and after following it nearly
half a mile succeeded in placing his
children upon n place Of SAFETY
Night was rapidly coming on, and
he returned to save his wife and chill
dren, but alas, he found not even a
vcstige of his home, no sign of vile
or child and also to add to the hor-
rors of the scene, darkness was fast
settling down upon the rushing flood,
whose appalling roar deadened the
cries of his family, even if they then
lived. The unhappy father has heard
nothing from them yet, and every ef>
fort made find their bodies has PROV
ed,unavailing.
The rise of the water is represented
as being unparallcd in the history of
the country, for its suddcnness and
volume.

one" When marriage is reasona.
BILE, contracted with foresight, when
the family does not increase too fast,
wife, far from being an obst Gle to
liberty or movement, is on the contra.
ry its natural and essential condition.
Why does the Englishman cmigrate
so easily, and so benelicially for Eng.
land herself' Because his wife fol-
lows him. Except in devouring eli
mates, such as India, it may be asser-
ted that the English woman has sown
the Who'll, earth with solid English
colonies. The force of Family has
created the force and the greatness of
the country. With a good wife and
good trade young man is free; free
to leave his home or free to remain.
1t must be a trade, and not an art or
luxury. Have such an art into the
bargain if you like; but the first nee
essity is to be master of one of the
arts that are useful TO all. The man
who loves and wishes to maintain his
wife, will hardly waste his time in
drawing the line between art and
trade; line which is fictitious in re-
ality. We cannot see that the major
ity Of trades, if traced to their princi-
pie, are real branches of an art. The
boot maker and the tailor's trades
make a close approach to sculpture.
A tailor who appreciates, models, and
reclifes nature, is worth three classic
sculptors.

Ms SouTuwoRTu, THE NovEIlsT.--
a Washington letter to the Cleveland
National says:
Mrs. Southworth, the authorcss,
who resides in the adjoining city Of
Georgetown, will sail in the next
steamer to make a tour TO Europe.
Mrs. 5. has by her talents made a
handsome fortune. Her husband, Il
worthless scamp, left her some three
years since with three children, and
quite dcstitulc-but out Of this cloud
came the silver lining which has de-
vcIopcd her brilliant taste, and been
of profit TO herself and pleasure to the
public. Mrs. $. is about Iory-small,
dark complexion, with brilliant eyes;
dresses rather oddly as regards colors.
and possesses much neryous energy,
She was. when first saw her con.
stant attend of the Unitarian Church,
but more recently she is supposed to
be convert to Catholicism, as her
children have been chris,cned and are
being brought up in that belief.

Tuc PuILosorny OF FMNTiNG.--If n
man, woman more likely, faints
away, instead of yelling out like a
savage, or running to him TO lift him
up. lay him at full length on his bacl,
on the floor, loosen the clothing, push
the crowd away SO rs to allow the
air to reach him. and then let him
alone. Dashing water over a person
in simple fainting It's a barbarity,
The philosophy of fainting is: the heart
fails to send the proper supply ofbIood
to the brain; if the person IS ereGt
that blood has to be thrown up n'l'
but iflying down it has to be proIec-
ted horizontally, which requires less
power which is apparent.
