An EngGshman in Paris went into restaurant
to get his dinner. Unacquainted with the French
language, yet unwilling to show his ignorance, he
pointed to the first line ON the bill of fare and the
polite waiter brought him fragrant plate of beef
soup. This was very well, and when it was des-
patched he pointed to the second line. The waiter
understood him perfectly, and brought vegetable
soup, "Rather more soup than [ want" thought
he; "butit is Paris fashion" He duly pointed to
the third line, and plate Of tapoca breath was
brought him. Again to the fourth, and was furn-
isned with bowl of preparation of arrow-root.
He tried the fifth line, and was supplied with some
Cruel kept for invalids. The by-standers now sup
posed that they unfortunate individual who
had lost all his teeth, and our friend, determined
to get far from the soup possible, pointed in
despair to the last line the bill of fare. The in
telligent waiter, who at once what he wanted,
politely handed him bunch of toothpicks This
too much; the Englishman paid his bill and

DREAM-LAND.

Theresa strange weird land whose shore have trod
Full many and many time,
It is not of earth, nor the land of our God,
But a faint and a shadowy cline;
1t may not be seen in the glare of the day
When the sunlight comes in streams,
But only when darkness has shut out his ray
IT'S the mystical land of dreams.
And sometimes meet on that peaceful shore
Fair forms of those that love-
Of those shall see on the earth no more,
They are gone to bright scenes above.
And often with them 90 | walk once again.
When sunset is flashing its beams
Der the beautiful vale and far reaching plain,
In that mystical land of dreams.
Oh, a wonderful cline and fairy like land,
Where are blossomsand sweetest perfumes;
Where soft airs of music gently are famed,
Where endless succession Of Junes,
Where the widest flights of orr fancy met,
Where we float on the smootLest of streams,
Where Arcadian splendors. like gems are set
In that mystical land of dreams;-
Where the ills and the troubles of life are forgot,
Where is found an eternal calm
Where the wished for fountain ofyouth long sought
Ripples forth its healing balm.
Fit emblem indeed Of that realm serene,
Whence refulgenee Of light ever CLEANS;
Where Purity dwclls, and Heaven is seen,
Is the mystical land of dreams!

WHERE TO PLANT PEACH TREEs-Those
intending to plant peach orchards, would do we'll
to consider the following before determining upon
location
After several years experience and close obser-
walton, the writer las found that those peach
orchards planted upon an elevation having
height greater than the surrounding lands produce
a crop of fruit each year; whilst those planted in
ravines or depressions, on level land usually
fail, at least two years out of three.
The cause Of this difference in fruiting, think.
is this Upon elevated locations the winds are
more constantly in action than in depressions aud
on level lands, and in consequence evaporation is
carried on more rapidly, drying up the humidity or
moisture the buds that may have collected
there Therefore, the frost does not penetrate the
vital part of the bud or bloom. On the other hand
if water remains on the buds, it congeals by only
an ordinary frost-thus killing the fruit
Some writers, I see, are recommending the
planting of peach orchards on land closely and
densely surrounded by heavy forest trees; my
observation would dictate the reverse The day
previous to the severe frost of the 22nd of April
1889, there was quite quantity of rain fell in the
morning; about twelve o'clock the wind commenced
blowing quite severely, and continued until evening;
upon lands where it had free access among the
boughs, the orchards bid fair to yield an ordinary
CROP but in other localities, where the wind was
obstructed in its motion by adjacent forest or hills,
and the water left upon the buds, the crop was
almost an entire failure

COUNSEL TO THE YOUNG.

Never be cast down at triAes. If spider breaks
his web twenty times, twenty times will he rIend it.
Make up your mind to do thing, and you will
do it. Fear not if trouble comes upon you; keep
up your spirits, though the day may be very
dark one,
Troubles never last forever,
The darkest day may pass away.
If the is going down, look up to the stars; il
the earth is dark, keep your eyes on heaven. With
Gods presence, Gods PROMISE man or a child
may be cheerful
Never despair when fog's in the air,
sunshiny morning will come without warnin
Mind what you run after. Never be content
with bubble that will burst; or frewood that
will end in smoke and darkness; but that which
you can keep, and which is worth keeping,
Something sterling that will stay,
When gold and silver fly away.
Fight hard against hasty temper.-Anger will
come, but resist it ngly.-A spark may set a
house on fire. A fit Of passion may give you cause
to mourn all the days of your life. Never revenge
AN injury.
He that rcvengeth knoweth no rest;
The meek possess peaceful breast.
If you have an enemy, act kindly to him; and
make him your friend. You may not win him
over at once, but try again Let one kindness be
followed by another till you have compassed your
end. BY little and by little great things are
completed.
Water falling day by day,
Wears the hardest rock away.

Four THOUSAND Bushels OF Corn ON FORTY
ACREs.-In October last sent you short account
of the proceedings at the Eastern Division Fair. 3"
In that account L gave you the amount of corn
raised on an acre, by James Armstrong Esq, at
his country seat two miles from the city. You
published it with editorial query to whether
it was in the ear OF shelled. He had All acre
measured in the best part of the field, and the corn
gathered shelled, measured, (not weighed), was
hundred and sixty-Six bushels and some quarts,
q do not remember how many) The corn was
sound and good, it weighed sixty pounds per
bushel. Mr. Armstrong further told me that he
had forty acres in corn which made him four
thousand bushels, or average of one hundred
bushels per acre. From the same ground he
gathered fifty two-horse wagon loads of pumpkins,
forty bushels of peas, and ten bushels of beans.
If you question the truth of the statement, you
can address John Flemming, Esq, Secretary of
the Society, or by writing to any of county or
city officers, you can learn that the statement is
true. You also bear in mind this is the home of
Indian corn and truthful men.-Country Gentleman
