The following extract from speech by ex-
President Tyler, delivered in the Virginia
House Of Delegates, a number of years ago,
sounds strangely, now that this same man, his
head whitened for the in-gatbaring crop Of etcr-
nifty, is spending his declining years ia trying
to break up the Union he then SO eulogized:
SIR, I have looked into the distant future,
and have there beheld the greatness of free
America have beheld her walking upon the
face of the mighty deep, and carrying glad ii
dings Of great joy unto distant nations. have
seen her stretching her arms over the whole
earth, and overturnng the sfrongholds of des-
potism in The Old world. We, wo betide the
man who shall endeavor to sow the seeds OF
disunion and anarchy among as. Better for
him had h. never been born. Ii he call upon
mountains to hide him-nay if he bury himself
IN the very centre of the earth, the indignation
OF man shall find him out aud blast him with its
! lightnngs.'

TRUTHFUL HINTs.-The following specimens
of shrewd observation by Donald g. Mitchell,
ike MaryeD III the New Englander, are ex-
tracted from an article entitled Hints about
Farming, which contains many brilliant, pithy,
as well as suggestive hints:
d" The shrewd, bard.workng farmer who is
really making money at bis business, seldom
says much about the prohtableness Of farming.
He prefers to croak rather; he counts his bust
ness hard one; he fleets tone of dlscour-
agsmcnt The hens that lay golden eggs never
caclle st least, we never heard them. II is
the retired citizen, the amateur farmer who is
SO sanguine about profits. He loves to tell you
III confidential way what his last year s sales
of butter amounted to, aud how many tons of
good English hay his reclaimed meadow will
carry 80 the acre He somehow seems 0 enter
tain the belief that every locker on thinks he
isspendns great deal Of money with very lit
tie return /; and he is neryously anxious to talk
down any such fallacy. Expenses are large,
certainly; but great many of them go to in
vestment he tells us. Digging rocks is heavy
business TO be sure; bnt onGe out of the way
and the Michigan plow will not have its nose
broken again. Trenehing, too, is a thing OF
very saucy cost-particularly where the soil is
underlaid with hard pan Or bouldels; but then
what vegetables will come OF il 1t is not
to be- dtned that For man who is thorough
~ i'll earnest, farming offers grand field Tor
effort but the man who is only half in earnest,
who thinks chat costly bsrns, aud imported
stock, and smooth fences, and a nicely rolled
lawn are the greats objects of attainment may
accomplish pretty results, but they viii be small
ones. So let the diletfanie farmer who has
smatterng of science, whose head is filled with
nostrums, who thinks his salts will do it all; who
doses a crop nov to feebleness, and now to an
unnatural exub rauce who dswdles over his
Concentrations while his neighbours oxen are
breaking into his rye field Tho has mana
ging capacity, 10 breadth of yisIeH who sends
two men to accomplish the work OF ona-let
such a man give W all hope OF making farming
a lucrative pursnitr

Our COuntry's Flag.

The following stirring and patriotic lines are fro
the pen Of Mrs. Hoyt, of Madison
Oh no for the Union they say there is none;
Oh no for the Unioni they say we're undone-
That the hand Of the foeman is red in the field,
And the fate of our country in darkness is scaled
But why do they sey it? and what do they mean?
The Flag see where our en- signs soar,
Why, that is the flag our fathers bore
There are the stripes, the red, and the white,
There are the stars, in their places, all right:
There is our eagle, with beak and claw,
The royalest bird that a foe ever saw,
The omen Of empire, that nations have seen
Fronting our battles and bearing us through.
The Fathers, the Fathers, we have them no MORE
But they We left the standard they brayely uDbore
With its eagle of freedom, far visiened and true
And the red and the white of the Old Thirteen
And stars that are gold on a field of blue.
There's thrill in my heart as 1 see it unroll
There's pulse in my heart that cannot control
1t fills me with hope for humanity born;
1t makes me q part of that glorious more
That gave to our country its Fourth of July
Away it'll the traitor who would trail it in dustl
Let the waves of oblivion cover him oer:
Let his name be heard upon earth never more
But loved OF his people, and blessed be he,
Who bears it aloft on the land and the sea
May his name go down to uncounted dates:
May his children's children sit in our gates,
Strong in the faith and the flag of our trust,
Waving in pride DER hundred States
The beautiful flag that our Fathers upbore!
God help us defend it, and long may it soar,
With its eagle of freedom, far-visioned and true,
And the red and the white of the Old Thirteen,
And the stars that are gold feld Of blue.

The Louisville Journal remarks that: "The
"Cabinetselectad by the new President, and
confirmed by the Senate without dissenting
Southern vote, is highly respectable, in polnt
cot ability, and, on the whole, moderate and
"copcilliatory in complexion. Chase and Blair
sit is understood, are the only members of the
cabinet who incline to radicaIism in either
'theory or practice, and, as il seems, their rad
'icaism was not deemed sufficiently extreme OF
malignant by the Southern Senators to call
for an expression of dissent On the other
''hand, Seward Cameron, Welles and Bates,
'are understood to be inclined strongly to wise
land temperate counsels. These last men
wing of The Republican party. The FREEDOM
''inant lone of the Cabinet is thus pacific and

"the constitution of the Cabinet as strengthen

inst:
e Hon. Robert johnson, son of Senator John
son, Of Tennessee, is in town. lie is a member
Of the Tennessee Legislature, and at the late ex-
ira session. was one OF she most thorough and
unAincbng Union en- in that body. He is
about twenty four years old, and has fair pros.
peet Of becoming one of tie most prominent
men Of Tennessee. lie represents the district III
the Legislature that his father represented in
1885. Starting where his father started, may
it be his good fortune to reach the same high
position and reputation for patriotism and I'M
diving love for the Union and the liberty Of this
country, which the father now enjoys"

TIE KING AND SEIDLITz POWDERS. On
the first consignment of seidlitz powders in the
capital of Delhi, the monarch became deeply
interested in the accounts Of the refreshing box.
A box was brought to tho King in full court,
and the Interpreter explained TO him how il
should be used Into goblet he put the twelve
blue papers, and having water the King drank
it of. This was the alkali,and the royal coun-
tenance expressed no signs Of satisfaction. II
was then explained that in the combination Of
the two powders lay the luxury; and the twelve
white powders were quickly dissolved, and as
eagerly swallowed by his majesty. With q
shrek that will be remembered while Delhi il
numbered with the kingdoms, the menarcf
rose, staggered, exploded, and, IN ms full ago
from the throne and fell PROSTATE on the floor
There he laid during the long continued effer
vescence of the compound, spirting ike tel
thousand penny-worths of imperial pop, am
believing himself IN the agonies Of death
melancholy and humiliating proof that King
are mortal.

Care of strawberry Plants in Winter

Care of strawberry Plants in Winter
William Parry, fruit grower in New jersey,
shows that it pays to take care of strawberry
plants in the winter. He says: "A few years
since had six acres in strawberries that were
50 lifted out by thu roots on account of the freez
ing and tbawing during winter, thatinore than
half of all the plants might have been gathered
with mandrake from the surface, and those
remaining not entirely thrown ont were much
injured.
Last year my Strawberries that were carefully
covered with manure during winter, yielded
two hundred and ten bushels per acre, while
| those not covered with anything, although the
same variety, did not yield over fifty bushels
per acre. This winter, have had a man and
boy, with horse and cart, hauling leaves from
the woods near by the strawberry field they
would cover about one acre per day, which vill
no doubt, be labor well employed"

CHEESE MAKENG. Elisha Peck, Of Ononda-
ga county, thus describes his process Of cheese
making, i'll the State Agricultural Socety's
Transactions
"My process in making is briefly, as follows:
After my milk is already in large cheese tub,
put in the rennet and stir it thoroughly with
the hand. l let it stand thirty or forty minutes,
and cut it with long, thin baded knife; let
it stand about one hour, when i dip it into a
strainer, lying over a sink, and cut it a few
times leave it till morning. take che same
course with the mornings milk as mentioned
above. In the morning cut both curds very
fine for sCalding put in the mornings milk
first to scald after that is we'll warmed up
put my evenings cuTd into whey heated a
little over blood heat; when ! think it sufi-
GENTLY scalded, dip it out into a straiuer laid
over the sink, and let it drain quite dry.
take common sized tea cup even full Of fine
solar salt, and putsone tea cup full to every
pound Of curd after mixing the salt well with
curd, put it to press and let it stand twenty
four hours. ! keep seventy six cows,and make
from $50 to 200 cheeses in the best Of seasons.

Mr. Editor Bark Lice can be effectually
destroyed by applying whitewash, made Of
common ley and lime. The ley should not
be strong for any tree, but old ones that have
been long time effected by them, will require
stronger ley than younger trees. 1t should be
tempered according TO the age OF the tree to
which il Is to be applied. Apply with swob,
brush, or anyt ing you please, but old trees
with large tops are better reached with syr-
inge, made for the purpose. Apply the wash
early in the spring, or before the buds begin ts
swell much, as it will kill the buds if too much
exposed. Try tand you win be delighted
with the result. Il leaves the tree smooth aud.
healthy looking in the fall If the composition
should be washed off by rain sosn after it is
applied repeat the dose, and spply it every
sp ring to your trees and it viii pay, whether
your trees are lousey or not have formerly
thought lime inJ irious TO trees, but experience
has tsught me the reverse.

An old fashioned fruit, met with in almost
every garden, and by long use become indis-
pensible in the domestic economy Too often
permitted to go uncared for, unpruned, starved
neglected, choked with grass and weeds; the
| fruit, in consequence small and seedy.
A fruit adapted to so many uses, the first in
the season, and continuing in use so long, is
deserving Of more careful and intelligent eul-
ture, which it will most bountifully repay by
the greatly increased yield as well as size and
quality of fruit.
Of the many sorts now in cultivation the
true Red and White Dutch are still she favor
ties. The Cherry is very large and fine des-
sert and probably the best of the new reds.
Msgnum Bonum, Prince Albert, Victoria and
Red, also, among the reds. White Grape, Chas-
salas and Crystal among the whites, are large,
and more or less distinct and desirable in q
collection. The Champagne is very pretty
pink sort, as large as the Dutch, beautifully
transparent, rather more acid than the whites,
but less so than the Reds.
The Black currant is much admired by some,
while to others It's odor and flavor are unpleas-
ant. Most persons, however, soon acquire a
fondness for it. The Black Naples is superce-
ding the cid English The Bang Up, still
newer sort, bids fair TO rival the Naples.
The soil must be deeply worked and made
rich by liberal annual dressings Of manure.

all the currants, but especially no with the black,
which is q gross FEEDER
In some districts of France the Black Cur
rant is superceding the grape for WINE max
ing, and cultivated III large quantities for this
purpose,
Excellent jelles and jam are made from the
Currant. They are also nice, dried in sugar,
and afford one of the most common and best of
domestic wines.
That from the black varieties is peculiar, and
it and the preparation of the fruit are esteem
ed useful in affections Of the throat
The Currant may be proftsbly grown for
market. The supply in our cities is fsr from
equalling the demand.
Considerable quantities were sent the past
two seasons from this place to Chicago, reah

All should plant at least an abundance for
home use, and it is astonishing how ma ny a
family, with a goodly number Of little folks
about. will consume, but plants are cheaply
procured from the nurseries, or may be easily
prepsgsted from cuttings, Trained as little
trees, with single stem, they look pretty and
easily cultivated, bnt are liable TO disease
and accident. We prefer TO grow III the old
fashioned bush form, renewing the young wood
from time 10 time by cutting out the old and I'M
productive shoots. Five feet is not too far
apart TO plant. 4. G. landlord.
