the poor. Surely, sir. the folly and mad
ness and wickedness of even Mozart Hall
partizans cannot further 60.
Sir, this act for enrolling and calling
out the national forces gives assurance to
the world that it is the unalterable pur-
pose of the nation to crush out this wick
ed rebellion. Your denunciations of its
provisions can only fire the hearts and
nerve the arms of traitors, thus putting
in peril the holy cause of our country and
the precious blood Of its heroic defenders.
Your denunciations ol this beneficent act
of national defense, by reviving the wan
ing hopes of the rebellion, may force upon
the Government the necessity Of putting
into execution the draft provided for in
this act That draft cannot be avertcd,
except by promptly weaponing the willing
hands of the loyal men in the rebel
States, and by Immediately yielding a
united and enthusiastic support to the
Government, thus speedily and thoroughly
crushing the hopes and effectually battling
the efforts of the rebels.

A good book is real blessing, but a
bad book is a positive curse. One carries
healing in its leaves to the souls Of all its
readers but in the other turks sure
poison, to convey moral sickness and
death to all who imbibc its tcachings.-
The only way to escape this poison, is to
avoid books Of an evil tendency. And
certainly good books are not so scarce as
to compel US to resort to those which are
hurtfll,
Among good books, the Holy Script

As spiritual guide thc Bible stands

Suppose that two travellers are cross

place which lies in known direction
from them. Which would be the wiser,
he who should be directed by the light O!
Luis Fatuus or he who should fix his
ewes on the North star for guide? So
Of travellers through life, seeking home
in heaven, who are the more prudent,
they who rely on the meteor glare Of the
false pretender's glittering novelties; or
they who trust in the word of God, and
embrace the truth as it is in Jesus Christ ?
Way will man seek to direct his steps
by the gIow-worm' light, when he may
enjoy the steady, faithful rays Of a hcav-
enIy umnary? And why will a man
trust his happiness to some lying vanity
of human or satanic origin, Y hen he may

TnE BEAUTIES OF NEWSPAPER PUBLISH
ISG.-The New York Tines, referring to
the expenses of newspaper publishing at
the present time, says white paper the
most expensive of all articles, which en-
ter into the composition Of newspaper
now sells for Is to 20 cents per 10, while
ten cents has hitherto been the outside
price. A ream of 4s0 sheets costs from
50 to SO, and returns to the publisher
at a cen, and half a sheet after being
printed, 1920. On the cost OF white
paper alone, therefore, there Is loss ol
over 81 on every thousand printed, Add
to this the cost of news, composition
machinery for printing, reportorlal and
editorial wages, tax on advertisements
tax on gross receipts, and the amount o'
profit on newspaper publishing at the
present time is not so great as to present
a very tempting inducement for people
entering .nto such enterprises

Asparagus.

No family in the country, that has .
square rod of land to spare, should do
without bed of asparagus.
l. Because it is wholesome rs food.
2. Because it is profitable.
8. Because~it is easily and chosply
produced.
A bed once we'll prepared and tended
will last for many years,-we do not know
how many, perhaps twenty years.
If one has an old bed, it would be ad.
visable to preserve seed and SOW it, to
start new one. IF not, it would be
cheaper to purchase the roots than to wait
for plants from the seed.
The seeds may be sown as soon as the
ground will permit in the spring, or just
the ground with muck or litter, and then
with the branches to keep it from blowing
off. Take off the litter in the spring and
the plants will soon appear.
In planting the roots set the plants 10
to II inches apart, in straight lines, and
the rows 15 or 90 inches apart. Put tho
crown of the roots or 4 inches below
the surface, then level the bed with the
rake.
The bed should be spaded Is or 20
inches deep, and manure plentifully
mingled with the earth. If it were
thoroughly trenched, two feet deep, it
would pay well.
The plants should not be cut at all the
first year, and but sparingly the second.
The third will produce bountifdl crop.
In cutting let knife pass down under tho
ground nearly to the crown Of the root.
Every autumn the bed should be clean.
ed of the dead stems and the ground COW
cred with manure an inch or two deep
In the spring, this should be carefully
forkcd in and we'll mingled with the soil,
and the bed kept entirely free of weeds.
How TO Cook AspARAGUs.-Boil it in
salt and water. When it is young it will
cook sufficiently in 10 or 20 minutes
Toast white bread and dip it in the water
the asparagus was boiled in. Lay the
toast into the dish, and the asparagus on
top Of it, adding a little butter to each
as you proceed.
Such a dish, with some trihing accom-
paniments, will make an excellent dinner,
three or four times weekly. E. Far

Z" IT AN COPS WAE'-A lady Mis-
sionary at Beaufort, 5. c., reports the
following opinion Of the war as given by
colorcd woman ninety years old, who
his just been relieved from the house OF
bondage Dis amt de Yankees war,
missus: nor de sccesh WARRIOR de Mig
gers war; il am Gods war and Hen
make de right come in spite en- all--dat's

vine or statesman in the country has bet
ter apprehcnlcl the true character and
scope OF the war, or could state these in
more clear and forcibIe language. The
whole wonderful story of Gods provi-
dencc in the rebellion-using the wrath
of man in secession, and the despised

simple words; " 1t am Gods war"

CuRRANrs.-Old plants need no atten.
ton now beyond Il liberal manuring.-
Currants are generally left to take care
of themselves, but no plant more readily
responds to good cultivation. Chip ma
nure is excellent for them, bat they will
be glad of something better. Rooted
cuttings of last year may now be put out
where they are to stand, cutting back the
last years growth to three o. four buds.
Cuttings made in the fall and winter
should be put out they should be put
two-thirds their length in the ground, and
have all the bu Is which are buried re-
moved.
GRArEs.-No farm or garden should
be without this delicious fruit. There are
some sorts which will do well without ex.
ira care, and others which will well repay
lor pruning. Our
special premium of grapes will doubtless
be the means of introducing good varic-
ties to many localities. Where there are
late frosts it is best to remove the winter
covering Of earth from the vines, and
leave them laying on the ground until all
danger Of frost has passed, having straw
or litter ready to throw over them in case
protection is needed. Great care is
needed ia tying vines up to the trellis at
ter they have started. Fork well-rotted
manure into the borders, if not rich

Hints FOR LADY FLoRIsTs.-One Of
the greatest mistakes made in flower
gardens every year, is attempting too
much, and crowJiag the grounds my
lady, visits several fine gardens, during
the summer and sees brilliant novelties
which she thinks she must have next
year. Or she gets several nursery cata.
/ 70 lues, and reading the high-sounding
descriptions Of plants, she orders more
than her gardea can hold or that she can
take care of. The consequence is they
fail to do we'll, and she and her visitors
are not satisfied with the effect. 4 much
better way is, to sit down at the beginr
ming of the summer, and settle in ones
mind how much room there will DO for
new things, and what are, on the whole.
the best. Get only these, and take tho
best possible care of them. Give them
the right soil. Keep the tall plants tied
to stakes. The edgings to 20 the beds
ould be always well trimmed, aud the
whole ground neat and tidy. Such q gar,
den will always give satisfaction. Anstrf,

Plant One Acre More.

A writer in the New England Farmer
says - \ suggestion made by mer-
chant a few since, that we ought to raise
all the grain we can, now that we have
so many men in the army, has led US to
think it would be well to bring the SUBJ
iect before the farming community if
possible through our agricultural and
other papers. All the productions of the
country are tending upward, and, in oil
probability, will continue to, SO long as
this terrible war we are now engaged In
continues. This Of necessity, must be
the case, as so many Of our farmers and
laborint men are withdrawn from produc-
ing the necessarics Of life. The pork
and beef market will not feel the effects
Of this state Of things as soon as other
farm products, as Western farmers in the
absence Of labor, turn their cattle into
the cornfeld, and let them do the har-
vcstins. Thousands OF acres, the past
season, have been devoted to this method
that under ordinary circumstances of la
Dor would have found their way to our
markets in grain instead of coming in
beef AMI pork Our present situation
and future prospects demand of every
man who cultlvates the soil, to make the
most of the means under his control, to
produce, all the grain and other crops ho
possibly can for the sustenancc OF man
and beast.
Plant, if possible, another acre, even if
it be at the risk, in some measure, Of i'm
poyerishing your land. On your strong
est Land plant corn, on your poor, beans.
You may in this way render incalculable
service to your country, in keeping the
price Of lile-supporting substance within
REASONABLE limits. 1t will be impossible
for our great-growing States to put in
their usual quantity Of corn the coming
sprng-or IN grain, to forward their
last seasons crops to our markets. Tho
result Of this state of things we can read
lily see. As wise and patriotic men, let
US act in view Of it, and increase our
pro lucts as much as possible"

Inspired by your councils, Mozart Hall
pronounces against tho ".Aet for enrolling
aud calling out the National forces" to
preserve the unity of the republic and the
life of the nation. Mozart Hall illumin-
atcd by your presence, proclaims that this
act for the preservation Of our imperilled
country, "makes an infamous distinction
