A Whisper to Daughters,
DY MRS. Y. M'CAUGHY.

Girls, before you decide to accept a
man as your companion for lite, look well
to his resentments. See if he hates any
body sounlly. If SO you can run a great
risk in marrying him. A man who can
hate well, has not the qualities to make a
good friend. \ truly noble soul will
never hate bitterly, even though deeply
injured He stands on too high ground.
He may be deeply hurt, and much dis
pleased he may avoid one he knows to
be an enemy, but he does not harbor Bit
ter hatred in his soul.
A noble mind is not always on the
lookout for little offences, but takes good
humoredy slight annoyances that are
plenty enough in every ones pathway
Do not countcnance person who thinks
to add to his importance by clustering at
hotel servants, railroad employees, when
ever he feels safe to do it. Instead of
proving him cosmopolitan, as he vainly
thinks, his barking and snarling only show
his affinity to the puppy. Do not marry
a rowdy if he is ever SO rich, hoping your
influence will reform him. See to it that
he iswell reformed before you take step
from which you can never recede while
life lasts.
1t is an excellent sign for young man
if he is kind and attentive to his mother
and sisters. Such one will be quite
sure to make a kind husband. There is
something kind and genial and worth low

How TO Wafer PLANrs.-This is usu

How TO WATER PLANTs.-This is usu-
ally badly done. Water is poured upon
the surtace--enough, perhaps, to wet
down an inch or two. The water washes
the fine earth into the chinks and inter.
stices, and there the plant stand, with
baked mass on the surface which shuts
out warmth, air and the moisture that
would be derived from its free circulation.
One of two methods should be adopted.--
Remove the surface earth and pour on
water enough to reach the wet subsol and
when the water has soaken in, replace
the dry surface soil, to be moistered from
below or. make hole as near as you
can without disturbing the roots, and fill
this with water two or three times, and
afterwards fiji it with the dry earth first
removed. At all events, when you water
at all, water freely, and with the foot or
a hoe throw little dry earth over the
surface as the water settles away. These
are important hints. A few plants thus
well cared for will yield more thrn three
times the number carclessly treated.

| OrThe Belfast d ge gives the following
account of the manner in which officer
Mckinney was shot by the desper ,dc
Grant:
A good deal Of excitement has been
caused day or two past in the northern
section of this county, owing to the dis
covery Of two desperate horse thieves aud
deserters, by the names of Isaac NJ.
Grant of Palmyra, and Charles Knowles
of Troy. Several weeks since the horse
and wagon of Eben Whitcomb of Waldo
were stolen, aud the wagon has since been
discovered at the house of Knowles faith
er in Troy. Soon after stealing this
horse and wagon, they stole horse and
wagon from a man named Bearce in Do
yer, and brought it to this city, where
they sold the horse, leaving the wagon
and harness in the care of Mr.. John j.
Mahoney on the shore road in the lower
part Of the city. The thieves remained
here some days, anl finally sold the wag-
on to Mr.. Mahoney. Soon after they
left town, the owner of the horse and
wagon came, and fully identified them as
his. A warrant was procured by Mr..
Mahoney and put into the hands of Mr..
c. o. Mckinney, Chief of Police, who
with Mr.. Maapney started on Saturday
morning in pursuit. 1t was ascertained
that after leaving this city they had sto.
len two other horses on Thursday night
previous, one belonging to Rev. n. w.
Miller of North Searsport, and the other
to John W. Neatly Of South Monroe
Officer Mckinney, while returning from
the vicinity Of Bangor, learning that they
had the day previous been found at u
house in Monroe, and that the inhabitants
had surrounded the house and kept them
prisoners some time; bat not knowing
whether they had power to detain them,
had suffered them to depart. Meeting a
Mr.. Prescott, constable, they pursued
on together in two wagons-Prcscott and
Mahoney ahead, and Mckinney and a
young man little distance behind. About
) o'clock Sunday afternoon, Prescott and
Mahoney overlook them in the road
They separated to let the wagon pass,
when Prescott and Mahoney jumped out,
Prescott seizing Knowles and Mahoney
Grant. Prescott struck Knowles over
the head and stunned him, and held him
without difficulty. Mihoney threw Grant,
but Gr7nt turned him, and succeeded in
getting his pistol from him. At this mo-
ment Mckinney rode up, and as he jump
ed from the wagon, Grant fired, the ball
striking him just above the small Of the
back, about two inches from the back
bone, he being in STOPPING posture, and
passed outside the back bone, up unde-
the right shoulder. Mckinney grasped
his pistol in his left hand, and he and
Grant exchanged three Shots the last shot
from Grant taking effect in the fore arm
Of Mckinney, inaicting a deep flesh
wound. when he fell. Grant then came
up to Mckinney, and taking his pistol
started with Knowles over the fence to-
wards the woods. After going a rod or
two, be turned back and exclaimed,
Cd d-m you, | will tinsh you before
| leave" ana fired three shots at him, one
of the balls passing through the waist
bands of his pants just above the hip,and
another just grazing his head and break
ing the skin. He then with Knowles
made for the woods.

a deserted counter, told him she had had a
misfortune to drop her garter. and that, in

her with piece Of tape, and to allow her
to put it on behind the counter. The young
man blushing crimson instantly gave her the
tape, and in the most respectful manner,
vacated the dark side of the counter, and
left the lady. who at once helped herself to
silk dress, which she tied under her crino
line with the tape. She then came forward

THE Shows AND SEAS OF MARs.-Mars
has lately presented favorable opportun-
ty for the examination OF its surface, -
The constitution OF this planet more
nearly approaches tina: Of the earth than
any other in the system. Snow can be
detected at both poles, the white circle in
creasipg in Winter and decreasing in
Summer. 1t has been fond that the
center of this region of snow does not
coincide exactly with the poles Of the
planet. And in this respect it is like the
earth, whose greatest cold is not exactly
at the pole. A greenish belt, with deep
bays and inlets near the equator, which
S suspected to be sea, has recently been
detected. The termination Of the snowy
region is very sharp and abrupt, giving
the idea of lofty cliff. A reddish is
land in the above sea has also been de-
tected. TIE probability of Mars being
inhabited is greater than that Of any 9TH
or planet. Its density is very nearly
that of the earth. The heat and light of
the sun would only be half Of that enjoy
ed On our globe but then this may be
compensated by an atmosphere which
may form warmer wrapping than ours,
and by more sensitive eye. A great
part of the surface of the globe is cover
cd with snow for half of the year, the
people in Mars would not be worse off
than we are in Canada. and life is tolera-
BILE here. People emigrating from this
planet to Mars would find that they were
only half as heavy as they are here, which
some would not regard as a disadvantage.

GLUE FOR READY usE.-To any quantity
of glue use common whisky instead of
water. Put both together in a bottle,
cork it tight, and set it away for three or
four days, when it will be fit for use with
out the application of heat. Glue thus
prepared will keep for years, and is at all
times fit for use. except in very cold
weather, when it should be set in warm
water before using. To obviate the diff
cult of the stopper getting tight by the
glue drying in the mouth of the vessel,
use tin vessel with the cover fitting
tigit on the outside, to prevent the escape
of the spirits by evaporation. A strong
solution of isingass, made in the same
manner, is very excellent cement for
leather.

Seeding with Rye In Sum-

We were recently in conversation with
P. & .Bauder, Esq, of Winnebago Go.

The talk turned upon the subject of seed
ing with rye, and gave the following as.
in his experience, the best method.

ten quarts to the acre /; rye one and one.
half bushels harrow all in we'll and roll
with heavy roller.
In few weeks the rye will completely
cover the ground, affording the best Of
summer and fall feed for either sheep or
cattle The soil has been made so com.
pact with the roller that tramping Of tho
stock does no injury to the Timothy or
clover roots. The rye if properly fed
down, does not seed, and will live for
about three years. The grass and clover
continually thriving from good sod, even
in sandy soil making of itself com.
plete pasture by this time.
His success in this way has always
been good. He has never lost seeding
from drouth, which he considers the great
cause of failure in seeding with oats or
other crops in spring, or even with fall
grains, that are renewed at harvest time.
exposing the tender grass plants to the
scorching sun of summer. From the ex.
pcrience of Mr.. 3 and others mentioned
by him, We can confidently recommend
this method of seeding all our Northern
farmers. Especially must it prove val.
liable when from any cause, there is .
necessity for a sudden increase of pasture.

REcEEATGoN-Rccrcation can be fully
enjoyed only by the man who has some
earnest occupation. The end Of the work
is to enjoy leisure; but to enjoy leisure
you must have gone through work, Play
time must come after school time, other
wise it loses its SAVIOR. Play after all, is
a relative thing; it is not thing which
has an absolute existence. There is no
snch thing as play, except to the worker,
1t comes out by contrast. Put white
upon white, and you can hardly see it ;
put white upon black, and how plain it is.
Light your lamp in the sunshine, and it
is nothing; you must have darkness
around it to make Its presence felt. And
besides this, great part OF enjoyment OF
recreation consists i'll the feeling that we
have earned it by previous hard work.
Ono goes out for the afternoon walk with
light heart when one has done good
task since breakfast. 1t is one thing for
a dawdling illcr to set off to the Conti-
nent or to the Highlands, just BECAUSE he
is sick of everything around him , and
quite another thing when hard-wrought
man, who is of some use in life, sets off,
as gay as lark, with the pleasant feel
ing that has brought some worthy work
to an end on the self same tour. And
then busy man tinls relish in simple
recrcations; while man WAC has nothing
to DO finds all things wearysome, and
thinks that life is "u,el up" 1t takes
something quite out of the way to tickle
that inluraiel palate, you might as well
think to prick the hide of hippopota'

ment which is not highly spiced with the

"FooLscAr."-Everybody knows what
" foolscap" paper is; but few probably
know how it came to bear this singular
'cognomen. When Charles |. found his
revenues short, he granted certain priyi-
leges, with view to recruit them, amount
Ing to monopoies, and among these was
the manufacture Of paper, the exclusive
right of which was sold to certain parties,
who grew and enriched the government
also at the expense of those who were
obliged to use paper. At this time all
English paper bore in water marks the
royal arms. The Parliament, under Crom-
we'll, made jests of this law in every con-
ceivabc manner; and, under indignlties
to tho memory OF King Charles, it was
ordered that the royal arms be removed
from the paper, and the " fools cap and
bells " substituted These, in their turn
were also removed when the Rump Par.
Lament was prorogued but paper Of the
size of the Parliament Journal still bears
the name of foolscap."-London Notes
