Keep Down the Weeds

The Boston Cultivator well and truly
observes: Every plant may be ikened to
a pump-constantly drawing the water
and throwing it off in the atmosphere
The extent to which this operation is go
ing on is not generally observed. Indeed
it is sometimes supposed that living plants
keep the soil from drying up. A coating
of dead vegetable matter, doubtless has
this effect; but living plants take water
from the soil more rapidly than it could
be carried off by mere surface evapora-
ton.
This has been demonstrated by expe-
riment. Hales found that sun flower,
three and half feet high, lost from its
leaves during twelve hours of one day
thirty ounces of water, and in another
day twenty ounces. The amount of wa
ter taken up and thrown off by plants de-
pends on exposure to the suns light, it
being greatest in clear weather, and least
in cloudy weather and during nights
The amount also varies with the different
species of plants-those whose leaves pre-
sent most surface to the sun consuming
most.
Now, all the water which is consumed
by weeds is wasted; it is dissipated in the
and carried by winds to 9th
er regions. Hence, in a dry time the far
mer should protect his crops against the
abstraction of moisture by plants from
which he can derive no benefit"

Women's Long Skirts.

DIR. Dio. Lewis makes this distinction :
''The most earnest efforts looking toward
dress reform have had reference to the
length of the skirt. May be permitted
a word on this point? | think one of wo-
mans first duties is to make herself as
beautiful as possible. a long skirt-a trail
events in fine taste. Among the dress
features of the stage, none is so beautiful
as the long trail. The artist i, ever de-
lighted to introduce it in his pictures of
woman. | confess l admire it, and that
| wish it could be again made common on
all dress occasions. For the drawing-room
it is superb. If it is said that expense
and inconvenience are involved, | ask,
are they not in paintings, stauary. etc?
When we meet on dress occasions, / can
not see why we may not introduce this
exquisite feature. For church and our
usual afternoon sittings skirts which near
ly touch the floor seem to me in good
taste, and every way proper: but for the
street, when wet, snowy, or muddy, for
the active duties of housekeeping, which
involve much running upstairs, for the
gymnasium, for mountIin trips, etc. /
need not argue with whose brains are not
befogged by fashion that the skirts should
fall to about the knee. If Miss Fastid-
ious suggests that the adoption of such a
costume would expose the limbs, you
have but to point to what may be seen in
wet weather on the streets. The attempt
to lift long skirts out of the mud displays
the lower extremities much more than
the shortest skirts. Nothing is more pit
liable than this street exhibition, except,
perhaps, a woman's attemptto go upstairs

Saving Seeds.

As the season will soon arrive for saw
ing seeds, my way may be of some bene.
fit to your readers, and will give it to
them. 1t is what my grandmother taught
me, when little girl living in Massachu-
sets, and now that | have settled a few
miles from Chicago, and have plenty Of
garden room, | find it very useful by
keeping my seed pure, and having fruit
some two or three weeks sooner than 9TH
ers who planted at the same time The
first that come of each kind let grow
and ripen for seed. l save a part of a
row of peas, few hills of beans, hill or
two of corn, that never pick any from
till fully matured for seed. The first
squash of each kind, melons, and cucum-
bers, I am very particular should not be
picked. By saving the first they are
more likely to be pure the bees are not
so plenty as a short time afterwards
Sometimes it is quite cross to let them
be, being the first of the season, but find
in the long run am the gamer. hope
the reader will try this; it will save a
good deal of trouble in the fall in going
over the garden to see if he can pick up
anything for seed. How can we expect
choice vegetables unless we take extra
pains about saving seed.

The Popular Institutions of Rich

Pretty things, says the Richmond En-
q't'rcr, have ''gone up the spout, (" in Rich

tion, fringed with those beautiful notions
which adorn the social system and are

Dieting.

Some persons eat themselves to death.
When a man is sick he is weak, and con-
cludes that as, when he was well, he ate
heartily and was strong, if he now eats
heartily he will become strong again
Well-meaning but ignorant friends are of
the same opinion, and their solicitations
to eat become one of the greatest annoy
ances of Il sensitive invalid. Nature pur-
posely takes away the appetite undersuch
circumstances, and makes the very sight
OF food nauseating. A sick man is feeble.
This feebleness extends to every muscle
of the body; and the stomach being made
up of a number of muscles has its share
of debility. 1t requires several hours of
labor for the stomach to "work up" an
ordinary meal. And to give to it that
amount of work to do when is already in
an exhausted condition, is like giving a
man worn out by a hard day's'work task
which snail keep him laboring half the
night. Mothers are often afraid that their
daughters will hurt themselves by little
hard work, if they complain of mot feel
ing very we'll" And yet if such daugh-
tiers were to sit down to dinner and shovel
in enough provender for an elephant or a
plowman, it would be considered good
omen and the harbingerof convalescence.
A reverse of such procedure would re-
store multitudes of ailing persons to per-
manent good health,-namely to eat very
little for few days; eat nothing but
coarse bread and ripe fruits, and work
about the house industriously; or what is
better, exercise in the open air for the
greater part of each day on horseback, in
the garden, or walking through the wood
lands or over the hills, for hours together.
Objectless walks or lazy lolling in car
riages are little better than nothing

Gen. Rosecrans on Slavery.

The following extract from a letter
written by Major-General William S.
Rosecrans, detailing his opinions ON the
slavery question, which his actual expe-
rience in the field has forced him to adopt
is published in the Philadelphil Press
1t should be remembered that Gen, Rose
Grams was, prior to the war an unvarying
Democrat. Writing from Murfreesboro,
he says: ......
am glad 10 see the splendid stand
you have taken against slavery, with all
its horrors, barbarities and shocking i'm
moralites. Slavery is dead, and nothing
can resuscitate it. To understand this
you should pay US a visit.
Slavery is doomed. and those
who now uphold it will it will soon be
held up to public odium and execration
No statesman will vindicate it, no friend
of human progress will stretch forth
hand to break its fall.
Almighty God has certainly ordained the
destruction of slavery in this country
where it has been more offensive and im-
moral than in Others.

The Poor Mans War.

Mayor Opdyke, of New York, says, in
his message vetoing the city ordinance in
tended TO prevent the reinforcement of
the army - lITT7U-FT
''This war, above all other wars of
which history makes mention, is a war
waged on our part in the interests of Door
men. The rebellion was plotted, begun
and prosecuted in the interests of the
owners of slaves. Whether the man who
labors with his hands should be freeman
or slave, should own himself or be own
ed by another, is the Ultimate question
which this nation is now deciding, IN the
assemblies of the people, in legislative
halls, in executive cabinets, and on many
fields of battle The rebels maintain
that that is the best condition Of society
where the land is divided into great plan
tatlons, and their owners own the slaves
VINO till them, and the artisans who
make their implements and this condi-
ton the rebels are striving to fortify and
extend The free and loyal people of the
land maintained that the laborers should
be as free as the owners of the soil. Thus
OF all people in the country, the laborers
and artisans are the most interested in
this question. We are taking their side,
seeking to bring universal opinion to
their favor, writing and speaking for
their cause, and fighting for il by sea and
by land. Would it not seem incredible
blindness and fatuity, if they, whose inter-
ests are thus involved, and whose cause is
stirring the blood of all true men the
world over, should themselves hold bac;<
and leave Others to defend their rights"

Making Sure.

There is nothing like. making sure, i
one proposes 20 achieve success. True
1.-The best laid plans of mice and men
gang aft agley," and lit is not in mortals
TO command success" But we can de
serve it. The careful ship agent, in send
ing his ship to ser, does not count upon
prosperous voyage, but provides for dis
aster and losses. He puts on borad spare
anchors, and chains and rigging and can
vass. He does not trust to luck, but seeks
to make everything sure. Till the ship
returns safe TO port, he is vigilant, and
anxious, ready to do everything in his
power to ward OIL danger, or if it come,
to be prepared for it. In whatever enter
prises men engage, they deem it to make
things sure-by securing ample means,
guarding against failure, anticipating dis
appointments, and providing for all prob
able, if not possible contingencies. A
farmer seems TO waste seed in sowing his
fields; but he wants to make sure of a
crop. In erecting mill, the manufac-
turer looks to it, that it shall be strong
enough to bear up much more than the
weight of machinery which is to be
placed within it.
In a word, it is only fool, who in the
voyage of life, makes no calculations for
the leeway.
We do not mean to insinuate that the
authorities at Washington are demented,
because they have not so managed as TO
prevent all disaster and defeat. These
last have ministered to our progress most
essentially but we do not court them in
the future. We have had enough of both
to teach us the meaning of the conflict,
and the true method of carrying it on
1t is time now, saying nothing of the
past, to make sure. Enough of glorying
in our physical strength, in the moral
power growing out of consciousness that
we are right, in the conviction that truth
and justice must eventually triumph
Somewhat too much, of calculations ON
the weakness of the enemy, on the fail
ure of his means, on the collapsing of the
rebellion. 1t is high time TO make sure.
And by making sure, we mean the rais-
ing at once of troops enough to meet all
the force that the Confederates can bring
into the field, if their widest boasts
should prove true. Then we shall over
throw the rebel power. Our danger is
that we shall waste time in glorying over
what we have accomplished, or in dispu-
ting what shall next be done. We would
have the administration push its policy
vigorously-complete the draft-fill up as
rapidly as possible, with conscripts, tho
the veteran regiments-and, above all,
put into the field all the negro regiments
that can be raised at the South and West.
The people are in earnest, and will sec
ond every effort the administration may
make. The more plucky and determin-
ed Mr.. Lincoln shows himself, the
more readily and nobly will he be sustain

The Seasons.

Spring is slow 1t takes that blue-eyed
young lady weeks to get up a respectable
show of greens, and, before she has fairly
opened all the leaves, summer tax es them
off her hands. Summer, too, lott ers over
her task of sweetening and paint ing the
fruits, and tinging the harvest fie Id with
gold, and Autumn has to take up and
complete her unfinished task Nor is
Autumn a swift artist, for it is not until
mid October that she gives the last glow
ing touches to the sylvan scenery. But
Winter is a fast old boy Like Comus, he
has to but wave his hand, and the nerves
of all nature are chained in alabaster.-
All his signal clusters of starry crystals
are thrown in myriads from the mines
of Upper Air, and when he breathes on
the floods they become diamond plains
He is the Merlin of the Seasons Under
his spells the landscape lies in an enchan-
ted sleep, and the Maid of the Mist, the
fairy Thaw, though she sometimes softens
his hard moods, and moves him to tears,
makes but brief impression on his IRON

War for the Destruction Ct Slavery

y
Green Clay Smith made tellingspeech
at Hamilton, Butler county, on the 18th
inst. In speaking of emancipation he
said:
Kentucky is slave State and voted
against Lincoln. He was not there as an
advocate of Lincoln. He has always been
a Douglas Democrat, and was so to-day,
| and was to-day Il slave owner, and yet was
denounced as an Abolitionists by the
Louisville journal and others. He was
happy to say that there was 5000 Aboli-
tion majority in his district
The speaker considered the charge that
the war was waged for the destruction of
slavery untrue, for Kentucky stands to-
day slave State, so it is with Maryland
and Delaware. Not one of their institu-
tions have been interfered with by the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES was not ef-
fected in these because their integrity is
maintained and they have stood by the
Government-and so the Government has
stood by us.
The speaker then gave the reasons why
slavery was interfered with which are fa-
miliar to all, and gave his own position on
slavery in Kentucky. | reference to the
Emancipation Proclamation he said he,
and probably all the people in Kentucky,
were opposed to it, because it might af-
feet Union men; he would have it con-
strued so as not to interfere But it has
been issued, what shall we do? Revolt?
No? There is not power enough-wisdom
intrigue or rascality enough to take Ken
lucky out of the Union. We say to-day
that if Ohio doesn't stand up TO the cause
Kentucky will whip her into it.
The speaker then, by history of the
last two years, showed how uniform has
been the success of the cause of the Gov
ernment. The cry of "peace," had been
raised. but had Immediately been hushed
up whenever the rebel arms was triumph
ant.
"Those anxious for peace can have it
tonight. Let the rebels lay down their
arms, deliver over their leaders to be hung
tomorrow, and they can have peace. -
Until this is done, though he would re-
joice with tears of joy over the day of
peace, never would he lay down his arms.

HOmalV Truth.

Some newspaper, speaking of the light
literature of tbs day, says:
You may read Eastern weeklies for a
year, and scarcely find fact which will
make you wiser and better-all fiction,
romance, lies, velvet and feathers; little
fairies equipped in smiles and crinoline I;
big scoundrels in epaulettes and with a
love of moustaehe, turning the brains and
stealing the hearts of simpering maidens,
and everyday history of life ingeniously
belied and genteely outraged-and yet it
always ends beautifully. Hundreds of
persons who think they can't afford q
home paper, in the course of a year spend
three or four times the amout in this
abominable trash.

THE PARTING OF SUMMER
RY MRS HEMAN5-

Thou TT bearing hence thy roses
Glad Summer fare thee we'll
Thou art singing thy last melodies
In every wood and dell.
Bat ere the golden sunset
of thy latest lingering day,
Oh tell me, Ger this ehequered earth,
How hast thou passed away
Brightly, sweet Summer! brightly
Thine hours have fOated by
To the joyous birds of the woodland b0ughs
The rangers of the sky.
And brightly in the forests.
10 the wild deer wandering free:
And, brightly, midst the garden flowers,
Is the happy murmuTing bee.
But how to human bosoms.
With all their hopes and fears,
And thoughts that make them eagle wings.
To pierce the unborn years?
Sweet Summer 20 the captive
Thou hast flown in burning dreams
0fthe woods with all their whispering leay es
And the blue rejoicing streams;
To the wasted and the weary
On the bed of sickness bound.
In swift delirious fantasies.
That changed with every sound -
To the sailor on the billows.
In lOngIngs wild and vain,
For the gushing fOunts and breezy ellis,
And the homes of earth again
And unto me, glad Summerl
How hast thou flown to me2
Ny ehainleSs foOtstep nOught hath kept
From thy haunts of song and glee.
Thou hast flown in Wayward VISIONS
In memories of the dead
In shadows, from a troubled heart.
Ger thy sunny Ihathway shed.
In a brief and sudden slrivingS,
To fling a weight aside
Midst those thy melodies have ceased
And all thy roses died.
Bat, Oh thou gentle Summer!
If greet thy flowers once more
Bring me again the buOyancy
Nherewith my soul should s0Rr
Give me 10 hail thy sunshine,
With song and spirit free
Or in purer air this
May that next meeting be!

Thinning the Leaves of Grapes.

One of the most absurd practices prey
alent at this season of the year, is that OF
pulling off the foliage Of the grapes, in
order las it is said) to ripen the fruit
Those who do this say they can't bear to
see the cluster so shaded; they know the
sunshine would color them. And so they
thrust right and left, covering the ground
with green leaves. This is a great error
The ripening of fruit depends upon the
presence and successful working of well
formed and healthy foliage on vigorous
vines. The leaves are the lungs and
stomach of the plant. Through them it
breathes; by them it digests its food, and
prepares nourishment for the fruit and
the whole vine. Go to the side of the
forest, and you find the blackberry devel-
oping larger and ripening up finer in par
tial shade than in a sunny field. Go a lit
tie further and you will find the wild
grape growing luxuriantly and ripening
perfectly where the sun seldom shines /;
certainly, where it never reaches the clus-
ters, and where no one pulls off the leaves.
Some of the handsomest clusters ever
picked in our garden hung all summer
in the shade of leaves, and on the north
side of trellis bar. The leaves had the
sunlight all day, but not the fruit. We
have no doubt that one reason why the
costly wineries of the country show so
much half ripened fruit, is because the
gardeners so perpetually meddle with the
foliage.-AmericaH AgricuLtlTiSt.

Corn STALKS FOR HEAvEs.-A correspon-
dent of the Ohio Farmer says he had a
horse heaving the usual symptoms of bro
ken wind, or heaves. He began to feed
him corn stalks and he began to grow bet
ter; has now fed him four winters, and he
is apparently sound. But if he fed him
dusty hay of any kind, two days, the symp-
toms appear. and he coughs considerably.
He would not feed a horse clover hay
Good timothy, with some red top, or the
bIuejoint of low lands, or good corn fod-
der is good enough. Let the cattle have
the clover.
