Nor USED TO Ir.-A good joke is told of
member of one of the volunteer companies
which went down to Pensacola. We think
it was Mississippi company, and it is said
to be fact. Being accustomed to fresh
water, living in the interior, and not having
been on the Gulf of Mexico before, he was
in blissful ignorance of its briny properties.
Getting up in the morning to perform his
daily ablutions, he drew bucket of water,
sat it down near some of his comrades, and
retired for soap and towel. Returned with
these articles, he soused into the bucket of
water, hands and face. The consequence
can be imagined. Recovering from the
shock and rubbing bis burning eyeballs, he
exclaimed:
Il can whip the id rascal that salted
this water A man can't draw bucket of
water, and leave it for few moments with
out some prank is played upon him."
Dashing the water aside, he left, amid
the shout and jeers of his companions who
had been silently watching his movements.

Planting out Celery.

We have expressed ourself repeatedly in
favor of the early planting out Of celery
From our experience and observation, we
think that much of the poor celery is owing
to want of time in coming to perfection.
We have set out the plants at three different
periods in July-say the first. second, and
third weeks, and we have rarely had celery
worth keeping by the last planting The
true period for transplanting, in our judg-
mcnt, is the last week in June, and the first
week in July. It is good plan to set the
plants between every other two rows of ear
IMPLANTED corn-the latter afording just the
amount of shade desired
1t is not necessary to plant in deep trench
es, except for the purpose Of obtaining the
means of shading the young plants in the
fashioned way with boards. We have
no objection to the latter mode indeed, we
are not sure that, if the subsoil be we'll loos-
ened and manured, it is not the most certain
way of obtaining good crop. Where no
trenches are prepared, the rows will be re-
quired to be farther apart to admit Of earth
ing up. Our plan is to plant ON level sur
face, generally among the corn; and thus
far, we have had satisfactory results.
Under any circumstances, the young
plants should be shaded from ten to four
o'clock, and watered twice a day. The
ground should be in the best condition, and
the plants should have one or two applica-
tions per week of strong manure water for
the first three weeks Afterward a dress
ing of cow manure, or some rich, well-rot-
ted manure.
We prefer billing up when the plants
reach the proper size, and continued hilling
as the plant progresses, instead of waiting
until the celery is nearly or quite done grow
ing before performing this work, as some
do This hilling up is rather nice business
if properly done. and should, on each occa-
sion be finished with the hands. due care
being always taken that the leader should
not be buried.
While our crops of celery have varied in
quantity and quality, we have not failed in
satisfactory yield for fourteen years

turbance? Was it some of my attendants
returning to ascertain my fate? Man,
knew, was almost universally feared by the
wild feathered tribe Of the wilderness and
the animals of the brute creation, and in
man was now my hope. Wildly did my
heart beat, and eagerly did strain my eyes
to get view Of my deliverer.
"The line of commotion advanced slowly,
but still [ could not be certain of the cause.
Nearer and nearer it gradually came, till at

my frame as I caught glimpse of the spot

way through the jungle towards the tree up
on which was sitting. [ looked down upon
the elephant, and perceived that by some
peculiar instinct he was already aware of his
danger. He was standing perfectly still,
no longer making an effort to release him
self; but could see the skin of his broad
back culver, as if every nerve of his body
were affected.
But his suferings were of short duration ;
as he could make no resistance. the tiger
had matters all his own way, and almost in
the time it takes me to tell you the fact, he

beheld a CORY carcass, still he held to the

I-Love this Glowing Southern Cline


BY FRANK MYRTLE.
love this glowing southern cline,
With skies mildly bright;
Where reigns one constant sweet spring time
So full of fond delight;
Where flowers are blooming all the year,
As beautifully fair
As if the floral queen had made
Her fragrant palace there.
love the Southern songster's note,
The balmy zephyr's breath,
Where perfumed strains of music float
From out the forests depth;
Where blithsome hearts are warm and true
As ever breathed prayer,
And where enchanted pleasures WOO
The soul to linger there.
I love the Southern twilight hour,
1t breathes holy spell,
While musing meath the orange bower,
Or in some fairy dell;
love its starry heavens by night,
Its dewy moonlit caves
Where Luna's silvery beams of light,
Clean through the orange leaves.
You speak to me Of happy homes
Far in the snowy North;
/ know the heart where'er it roams
Will love its native hearth;
But say. is not this Southern cline,
So beautifully fair,
More lovely in its sweet spring time
Than aught you cherish there?

pig like eyes shooting CLEANS of fire as he
cast them upwards in his disappointed rage.
Then laying hold of the tree with his trunk,
he tried his strength in it but as it was too
heavy for him to endanger my position by
that means, he soon relinquished it for an
other. Quietly stepping back few PAGES,
he measured his ground and then with
sudden bound forward, he struck the tree
tremendous blow with his head and tusks.

comprehended his design in time to throw
my arms and legs around limb, and brace
myself for the shock. Nor was I any too
