The Beauty of Age.

There are extremes, my reverend sc :
niors, into which we are tempted to fal
when we find ourselves on the wane. De-
clining ladies, especially married ladies,
are more given, think, than gentlemen,
to neglect their personal appearance,
when they are conscious that the bloom
of their youth is gone. | do not speak
of state occasions, of set dinner parties.
and full dress balls, but of the daily
meetings of domestic life. Now. howeV-
er, is the time above all others when the
wife must determine to remain the pleas
ing wife, and retain her John Anderson's
affection to the last by neatness, taste and
appropriate variety in dress. That lady
has fast growing daughters, strapping
sons and husband at his Office all day
long, is no reason why she should enter
the family circle with rumpled hair soil
ed cap or unfastened gown. The pretti-
est woman in the world would be spoiled
By such sins in her toilet. The mornings
duties, even in the store-room, or kitch-
en-, may be performed in tidy, fitting
costume, and then changed for parlor ha-
biliments, equally tidy and fitting. The
fashion of the day should always be re-
Aected in woman's dress, according to
her position and age-the eyes crave for
variety as well as the palate; and then l
honestly protest, whatever her age, a nat
urally good looking woman is always
handsome. For, happily, there exists
more than one kind of beauty. There IS
the beauty of infancy the beauty OF youth,
the beatty of maturity, and the beauty Of
age: if you not spoil it by your own want
Of judgement. At any age a woman
may be becomingly dressed.-HolsehoLd

Surinp-Time.

In the early part of May, very many
persons begin TO feel that they are not as
well as they have been. There is a degree
of languor and lassitude, an indisposition
to exercise, or even toread or think much,
which makes life almost drug. This
ought not to be. There is no good and
sufficient reason why man should not wake
up to a newness of life, and embark in its
business with new energy and new en-
terprise. The grass shoots up in its green
ness so delightfully."- refreshing, that We
love to look upon it; the buds swell on
the trees, and the beautiful flowers unfold
themselves; while the birds of the wood
fill the sweet air with their rich and glad
some diapasons And why should man
alone, of all the creation, look with Ian
guild eye upon the spring time? 1t is un-
natural, it is wicked, it is absurd; and it
comes about in this plain matter of fact
way. Man alive! do you see that pig yon-
der, lying in the corner of the fence, or at
the foot of the wall, his eye half closed,
and so lazy that he can't summon upcour-
age enough to wag his iail? An hour soon
er he was not so, but was running toward
the eorn-crib, ct the farmers cry of pee
gy.D with the same agility that little
beggarboy viii run from ye1, these times,
on the discovery that you have IN mistake
given him dime instead Of nickel
The pig has eaten so much that he can
scarcely grunt. The lassitude which comes
over multitudes of humanity with the
beautiful Spring, IS the result of eating
too much. There is nothing in the spring
air to cause this; for it is soft and balmy
and blissful, and brings animation and
newness of life to every living thing, man
only excepted
The ''modus operandT is worthy of be
ing studied, and well matured, by every
intelligent reader We are all kept from
freezing by an internal furnace; the fuel
for which is the food we eat; the living
furnace, like that of our dwelling, requires
more fuel in winter than in summer
Who has not, in considerable anger,
abused Bridget for roasting them, by
keeping up greater fire in April than il
mid-winter? and we call it perveTsity.-
But the maid does in the cellar what the
mistress does in the dining-room, shesim-
ply puts the same amount of fuel IN the
crate or furnace daily. The maid roasts
the outside of her mistress, while the mis-
tress herself roasts her inner-man; thus
she is literally between two fires. Is it
any wonder that people complain of
Spring fever? As remedy, Bridget opens
the doors and windows and diminisbes
the heat, while the mistress resorts to ton
les, and the master TO 'bitters, alias bran
dy and water, to whet up the appetite, to
make the stomach call for more fuel, in
stead of attending to the stomach's in
stinct, in calling for less food. In al na-
ture man is the biggest fool.
In Spring be q strict vegetarian, be
strict cold-water man, keep clean, keep
cheerful, keep out of doors, and your
Spring-time Will not be the sleepiness of
the pig, but it win be as gleeful and as
gladstone as that of The sweetest birds Of
May.-RalPs Journal of Heath.

During the siege of Vicksburg several
politicians called upon General Grant one
day to talk about politicslmatters. Gen

ing. There is no use of.tslking about

that subject, and, further more, I don't
know of any person among my acqualnt-

WHAT YoUNa PEOPLE SHOULD Know
The best inheritance that people can
leave their children is the ability to help
themselves. This is better than hun
dred thousand dollars apiece. In any
trouble or difficulty they will have two
excellent servants ready, in the shape of
their own two hands. Those who can do
nothing, and have to be waited on are
helpless and easily disheartened at the
misfortunes of life. Those who are act
i've and handy, meet troubles with a
cheerful face and soon surmount them
Let young people, therefore, learn to do
as many difersntpseful things Is possible.

And laid them down 10 sleep;
Twas then they Joined the angel bands,

The culture of the Northern Sugar Cane
plant has become of so much general interest
and Importance as to require all the informa-
ton possible to bring it proftably, yet eau
tiously before the public. During the first
fifteen days of May the whole crop should be
planted. 1t will stand more severe change
able weather and frost than corn, and should
be planted first. Frost viii not injure it more
than to kill the young leaves, and as the root
will still be healthy and vigorous, but very
little time will be lost to the seasons growth.
The necessity of early planting must be borne
in mind The weather is now sufficiently
warm to warrant its immediate attention and
no time should be lost. week now may
save the crop. At the late convention held
in Madison, much valuable information was
impaired upon this subject Those who NAV
receive the published proceedings from the
Legislative members or secretaries, will do
well to examine that portion of it pertaining
to time Of planting and soil 1t is not the
acre which grows the largest cane that fills
the largest barrel with syrup. A sandy clay
loan, if to be had, or if not that which comes
the nearest to it, should be selected See to
the drainage: heavy land is undesirable. On
the prairies where the dark soil predominates,
select the sandy portions That to be most
avoided in all locations is the bottom land,

or that composed largely of vegetable mate
rial. Good wheat soil will ordinarily produce
good cane. We do not estimate the value of
wheat soil by the amount of straw grown, but
quality and quantity of seed; so of the cane,
not so much quantity in bulk or size OF cane,
as quality in saecharine matter The extreme
barrens need not be chosen as best, but as
expressed in the convention, "high, dry and
rich land" are best suited In practice it Is
usually found that upland will produce a cane
less bulky but very rich in saccharine matter,
while the bottom lands make a very large
growth, which yields a dark colored, poorer
favored syrup, frequently requiring ten or
twelve gallons of juice to one of syrup, the
first requiring less than or about half this
amount and producing an article worth much
more in market As to the variety best adap-
ted to Wisconsin, there is more diversity OF
opinion, but with few exceptions those most
acquainted with cane culture and its growth,
if confined to one variety, plant the Chinese.
1t produces a lighter colored syrup, is less
acid, and with the care that has been given
it in gathering seed, now ripens in about the
same time that any of the Imphee varieties do.
The following drawings anddescriptIons we
clip from E. W. SINNERS Gland Book OF
Sorghum and Sugar Cane Mills, which he has
published for gratuitous distribution. They
fully illustrate the different varieties, time
Of ripening, habits and characteristics. On

two light burrows together, it will become
warm in the sun light and air, heavy rains
more readily run off, and assist in thoroughly
pulverizing the surface. Immediately pre-
ceding the planting, draw a marker across
the ridge to plant by, as well as to give moist
fresh soil for receiving the seed. If the soil
is very weedy, these marks will also assist as
a guide in cultivating the cane, even before
it is sufficiently up to otherwise follow the
rows. Another method sometimes adopted
is to make slight furrow, with shovel pillow
east and west, and plant upon the the north
side Of this furrow. In this position it will
receive the warm direct rays Of the sun and
termination is fastened
THE NJ ODE OF PLANTING varies with fancy
and views of operators, some will insist upon
the drill form, others in squares like corn, and
at various distances. If land is in excellent
till, undoubtedly larger yield can be obtain
ed by the drill method than any other, but it
will require more hard labor to tend it. And
IN these war times when the fields are large
and Iaborers few, it is better to adopt the row
system, 81 to feet is a proper distance
Soaking the seed if carefully treated is desira-
BILE. Pour on warm water and keep in a warm
position either by mixing in sand or sawdust
until examinations are visible, then plant shall
low, uery stalloaO, not even an inch, and half
this amount is better. Cover lightly, that
the seed can have light and air to assist in
termination, pressing the soil with the foot
or otherwise. Don't forget to put in plenty
OF seed. The cost per acre is only trife and
II half are subsequently plucked out, the loss
Is scarcely perceptible better to have an
abundance to thin out, than few imperfect
stands to replant. Ten or twelve and even
fifteen canes to the hill are none to many for
profit. The number Of canes Ia the hill NAV
vary with the richness of the soil. IF very
rich, from u to 20 stalks will grow without
detriment. On good medium soil less num-
Der. What is very desirable, is to get main
stalks enough to prevent suckering. This OBJ
ject can usually be gained by judieious plant
ing, A main stalk three fourths of an inch |
in diameter, if well grown and ripened in

MISUNDERSTANDING called White I'M
phee. The seed-tutt is short and bunchy-
seed large, round and white. The stalk is
usually short and slender, but soft, juicy and
sweet 1t is claimed by Mr.. Hedges the it
should not be allowed to stand on the hill af-
ter the seed is well in the dough. 1t may,
however, improve after being cut and ricked,
or sheltered
Oona-see-a-na.-The stalk of this is slender
ard taller than the last. Both are early, and
should be planted thicker than the Chinese.
The seed-tuft of the Oom-see-a-na is erect
and slender, with short foot-stalks, purple
seed-hulls, showing brown seed. The stalk
is not quite as long jointed as the Chinese,
but longer than some Of the varieties of I'm
phee, and differing but little from the Nee-a-
za-na. These two varieties we consider the
earliest and best of the Imphees for cultiya-
ton north of Chicago or Dubuque.
The Chinese variety of sorghum is recon-
mended for general cultivation, by nearly
every convention that has been held in the
Northwest 1t is earlier than the most vari-
cites of the African, and makes lighter syr-
up, though for sugar it may not contain quite
as much graduating properties"
But little or no seed ripened in the North,
the past season. Purchase from those only
who have reputation at stake, and whose
interest will disseminate none but the best of
seed. This is the exception, and not the
rule, as in ordinary seasons we would select
from the same localities in which we wished
to plant.
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL is of the utmost i'm
portance and cannot be to carefully attended
to. Deep tillage is essential that the cane
may find plenty of food. Cane roots pene-
trate TO a great depth. Their inclination is
to run down, and not to ramble sideways or
near the surface; they have been traced down
several feet, and hence the necessity of pull
verizing to as great depth as possible. Use
three horses and better four. If the first
blowing was given the previous fall the
better for the cane. After the blowing pull
verize thoroughly with harrow and cultivator.
The seed is small and unless this is well at
tended to, much may be lost in the germina-
ton. A few days previous to planting turn
