PLANT an Apple orchard.

The old ones are fast dying out all
through the nlden States. They were
planted hundred years ago, or more,
have done good service, and ought to have
their day. When apples are So barrel
and upward, there is not an adequate
supply IN the country. They can be
grown at a dollar barrel, with profit
The apple crop in single small county
in this State, was worth half million Of
dollars last year. Other counties, in the
older parts of the Eastern States, were
under the necessity of paying out hun.
dred thoasand dollars for this fruit, be-
cause they had not the article at home.
Peaches and plums we may be able to gel
along without, but apples we must have
for sauce, Cor pies. for the desert, and for
the dinner basket of little boys and girls
who cannot come home from school to
dine. We say then to every farmer
plapt an orchard of at least hundred
trees. The trees are all ready for you
in the nursery, well grown, and grated
two and tnree years from the bud. Gel
thrifty trees, Of varieties that you know
viii flourish in your locality, and In foul
years you viii be eating fruit from ahem
Do not fail to plant an orchard this very
month.-.fmeTicag .dgTisultErist.

Oak and Iron clad Ships.

In a verbal communication to the
London Chemical Society, DR.. Grace
Calvert stated that when iron is placed
in contact with oak in vessels, the acid
acid in the oak rusts the metal. The
plan which has been adopted to pre-
vent this action, in the English navy,
is to place layer or teak between the
iron and the oak. This arrangement,
however, did not prevent the corros-
ion of the bolts which were still ex-
posed to the action of the gallic acid
in the oak. To prevent this, it oc.
Cured to DR.. Calvert that if the bolts
were galvenized they might resist the
action of the acid. 10 test this he
obtained anumber of zincked bolts and
allowed them to remain in contact with
oak for a considerable period Of time,
when he found that the action of the
acid was much slower than when the
iron was not galvenized. end the iron
was also protected from the action of
fresh and salt water. From this expe
riment we concluded that all iron bolts
employed for the fastenings of oak
timbers in vessels should be galvenize.

Acquired Beauty Best.

Beauty is an excellent gift Of God !;
nor has the pen Of the Holy Spirit
forgotten to speak its prasse butit is
virtuous and godly beauty alone which
Scripture honOrs, expressly declaring
on the other hand that GA fair woman,
without discretion, is as a jewel of
gold in a swine's snout." prov. XII,
229 Many pretty girl is like the
flower called the imperial crown, which
is admired, no doubt, for its shoWy
appearance, but despised for its un'
pleasant odor. We're her mind as free
from pride, sel6shness, luxury, and
levity, as her countenance from spots
and wrinkles, and could she govern her
inward inelinations as she does her
external carriage, she would have none
to match her. But who loves the cat
erpillar and such insects, however
showy their appearance, and bright
and variegated the colors that adOrn
them, seeing they injure and de6le the
trees and plants on which they settle !?
What the better is an apple for its
rosy skin, if the maggots have pene-
trated and devoured its heart? What
care for the beautiful brown of the
nut, it it be worm eaten, and Eli the
mouth with corruption? Even so,
external beauty of person deserves no
praise, unless matched with the inward
beauty of virtue and holiness. tits,
therefore, far better to acquire beauty
than to be born with it. The best kind
is that which does not wither at the
touch of fever, like a flower, but lasts
and endures on bed of sickness, in
old age, and even at death.-GotthaLd

For years, vine of the common Ell.
der berry, Sam6ucus nigra, has been
made, and drank a. = healthy
warming and enliYening stimulant.-
At this time It has got into the drug
stores, under the name of Sambuei
sOsRs, and many q one is nov paying
an extra price, and drinking as an in
vigorating medicine, that which, il
simply called elder berry vine, they
would hardly think Of using. This,
however, is no argument against its
value; on the conlTSry, many good
thins are brought into notice. By
throwing little mystery around them.
It is, however, sor the farmer and
gardener to look about them, and see
whether the apportiOnmsnt Of one or
more acres Of land, exclusively to the
growing Of elder berries for vine,
would not be q paying shing. The
plant or bush is now abundant, but
rapidly disappearing under the plough
and hoe; few regarding it as il any
way valuable, and therefore Destroy
ing it as cumberer Of the ground
We have no means Of making an estis
mate of sAe returns likely to come to
the cultivator, but judging from the
quantity Of berries each bush has
when in its wild state, We should think
it would pay as we'll, or better even
than grapes. Besides the value Of It's
fruit, its fogers and valuable il pro-
noting perspiration, while from the
inner bark an excellent healing oint-
ment can be made; and q decoction
of it in moderate doses is also g mild

EDITORS SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN :---lt
has become an important question for
our country, whether fax culture in
the Northern and, more particularly,
the Western States, could not be
brought to rival the cotton culture of
the South if machinery we're invented
for cleansing the fiber and spinning
and weayingit, equal to the machinery
used for cotton.
According to the history of cotton
growing in the South it appeass that
the invention of Whitney's cotton gin
and the natural adaptation of the soil
were the two great causes which led
to the present very extensive cultiva-
ton of cotton. This was about the
beginning Of the present century,
when fax was considered very indis>
pensible crop among our farmers, but
it linty product has since been super
seded by the cotton of the South per-
haps only through the invention of the
cotton gin. We certainly have soil
in the West which viii produce of
clean fax 100 lbs per acre more than
the best cotton lands of the South can
Of cotton, and with much less labor, if
we except the breaking, scutching and
hacking, which should be performed
with machinery. In England, the
spinning and weaving of fax is now
accomplished by machinery with ra-
pidity little short of the spinning and
weaving of cotton, so that there would
at once be a foreign market if the raw
material were raised by the farmers Of
the greet West. A machine that
would perform for the fax growers of
the great West what the cotton gin Of
the South does for the cotton grower
would be great desideratum.

Sowing Flax.

Flax is usually sown on land which
was broken up from grass for corn
crop the preceding spring but it may
also be sOwn after manured crop,
though in this case the quality of the
fiber will rarely be so fine as in the
former case. The land should have
been deeply pOughed in autumn, so as
to secure a fine tilth. The seed, which
should, if necessary, be carefully freed
from the seeds Of weeds by screening,
is usually sown broadcast by the hand
and covered by narrowing with the
grass .seea harrovs and rolling; nine
pecks is the usual quantity of seed for
an acre. The fax crop in the north
of Ireland, where markets for its sale
exist, and where it is cultivated and
prepared for sale, is very remunera-
tive, so much as EGO ($100) clear pro-
fit, over all expenses, rent of land in
cluded, being frequently realized
Unless under very careful managem-
ent fax is, however, most precarious
crop; and, while, on the other hand, it
may be the most valuable which the
farmer. can grow, on the other, it may
be the most worthless. Hence the
extension of it may be the most worth.
less. Hence the extension of its cul-
ture beyond the haxSgrowing districts
should be cautiously undertaken; and
hence, also, the reason for the very
contradictory statements which one
hears regarding the productiveness and
value of the crop.
The above is from the Irish Agri-
cultatral ReView and was intended for
the sowing of the seed in April in that
country; it will answer for May in our
Eastern Middle and Western States,
and in Canada.

strength Of temptation, and the power
with which it has been resisted. He
knows every paliating circumstances,
and when he judges US, it is with all

The END OF THE PILGRIMAGE
Fear not, thou that longest to be at
home. A few steps more and thou
art there. Death to Gods people is
but ferryboat. Every day, every
hour the boat pushes off with some Of
the saints, and returns for more.
Soon, 0 believer, it will be said to thee
as it was to her in the Gospel, ''The
Master is come and calleth for thee"
When you are got to the boundry Of
you race below, and stand on the verge
of heaven and the confines of immor-
tality, then there will be nothing but
the short valley of death between you
and the promised land the labors Of
your pilgrimage will then be on the
point of conclusion, and you will have
nothing to do but to entreat God, as

RICE FRoTH.-A rich and ornamen-
tai dish. For one third of pound of
rice allow one quart of new milk, the
whites Of three eggs, three ounces of
loaf sugar, finely pounded, stick Of
cinnamon, or eight or ten drops Of
almond havOring, or six or eightyOung
laurel leaves, and a quarter Of a pound
of RASPBERRY jam. Boil the rice in a
pint or rather less of water; when the
water is absorbed add the milk and
let it 90 on boiling till quite tender,
keeping it stirred to prevent burning.
Ifcinnamon OF laurel leaves are used,
boil them with the milk, and remove
them when the rice Is sufficiently done
if essence Of almonds be used for IA.
voring, it may be dropped among the
sugar /; when the rice milk is cold, put
it in a glass dish or china bowl. Beat
up the egg whites and sugar to a froth,
cover the rice with it, and stick bits Of
raspberry over the top.

/. BURRs OR SCALDs.-As accidents
from these causes are unfortunately of
oft recurrence, and most generally fall
to the portion of children, remedy at
once simple and always at hand, pro-
duCing the most beneficial results,
cannot be too well known. In case,
then, of an accident from fire or any
scalding liquid, take lard and -four and
make salve, letting the -four form the
chief part Spread this tolerably
thick on pieces of linen or other rag,
and apply to the suffering part,
changing often, I'LL all the fire is
drawn out. l once knew of little boy
who was scaIded on the foot, by the
tipping over of a saucepan; this rem
edy was applied with almost instant
relief from pain, and changed for
fresh bandages about every ten min

this remedy in mind, and pubIith it

Some young men talk about luck.
Good luck is to get up at six o'clock
in the morning; good luck, if you had
only shilling a week, is to live upon
elevenpence and save a penny; good
luck is to trouble your heads with
your own business, and to let your
neighbors alone; good luck is to ful-
I'll the commandments, and do unto
other people as we wish them to do
unto Us. They must not only plOd,
but perseyere. Pence must be taken
care of because they are the seeds Of
guineas. To get on in the world, they
must take care Of home, sweep their
own doOrWays clean, try and help
other people, avoid temptations, and

Another M0nster Gun.


One Of Rodman's ffteen-inch guns
was successfully cast few days ago
at the Fort Pitts Works in Pittsburgh.
This is the third casting made of these
guns, and the work will soon be re-
garded as an everyday performance.
The process was as follows: The
rough casting in the pit weighs about
$4,000 pounds, and nearly forty tuns
of metal were melted for the purpose
in three furnaces. The furnaces were
fred about five o'clock, and at eight
minutes past ten the first furnace was
slapped" A line of trOughs or ''run-
ners" had been laid from the furthest
furnace, some eighty feet, the second
furnace, about midway, joining IN, and
the two streams, emptying, with that
from the first furnace, into large
cauldren at the edge of the pit, from
which two streams diverged, and pass
ing around the pit, empt:ed into the
gun on opposite sides of the core bar
rel. The furnaces were tapped in
succession, and nearly all the metal
allowed to run out before the next in
order was opened. At twenty four
minutes past ten the mold was filed,
in just sixteen minutes from the OPEN
ing of the first furnace, showing that
the metal must have poured into it at
the rate of nearly two and a half tuns
per minute.-Seientifc american.

When a man becomes a christian he
will not be exempt from tears, from
losses, from sickness, cares and death
but he will bear these things with a
patience that the world has not and
he will see, overruling these things, a
hand that the world does not see =
and he will learn that great problem
which Christianity alone solves, that
out Of evil God is still educting good.
