GREAT AMOUNT OF RAIN.-ProblemS.- you
ever think how much water there is in the air,
floating unseen? 1t always amounts to nearly 3
gallons above each foot of the earths surface,
and often much more. As new yapor is always
rising, the amount of rain that falls during a
year is very large. At one place as many as 300
inches deep falls in II months-or enough if it
all fell at once to cover the land with water rs
feet deep. In this latitude 35 to 45 inches deep
fall annually. If this fell altogether, it would
cover the earth deep enough to drown all the lit
tie boys and girls under IL years old. If we
covered our gardens or fields with empty barrels,
they would all be more than filled with falling
rain in less than year "A pint of water weighs

Hints to Farmers.

What Hoes TO Use.--ln planting or hoelng
corn use the ordinary hoes'in general use. Nei-
their India rubber hose nor cotton hose would be
of any account in cornfeld no more would one
of Hoes eight-cylinder presses.
Hon to Hold the Plow. Don't try to hold 1t
out at arms length. You can't do it. If you
haven't plow of your own, get out an attach
ment on your neighbor's who owes you. Any
justice will tell you whether you can hold It or

Hov to Keep C0rg.--The. best place to keep
corn is in good corn-house, though some prefer
to keep it in the system-in the joice If they
don't keep corn they keep 'scorned." /" e
Fences and Fencing. Good fencing is essential
on farm. Get good fencing master to learn
you. You can't repair worm-fence by taking
vermifuge Neither can you cut good white

To Drain Lands Drink whiskey, and spend
all your time at the village tavern. This will
drain you of all your land in short time.
TO Make Stone Fences Equal parts OF whiskey

OUR LITTLE ONE.

OF ali the prayers that test my faith,
This is the hardest one,
To gaze on that dear face in death
And say, 'sThy will be done"
In the wild struggle nature fails
And sinks afrighted down;
A mortal grief o'er faith prevails,
The cross obscures the crown!
So fast upon her pale, sweet clay
Came down my binding tears,
They yelled awhile her shining way
To the celestial spheres.
O Thou who hast with hand unseen
Removed the loved to Thee,
Come now with helping grace between
The little child and me.

'sDAME FORTUNES FREAKS. THE Newville,
Pa. Star says that young man now engaged
in teaching the the young idea to shoot in
Miflin township, Cumberland county, is report
ed to be the happy recipient of an estate valued
at $3.50 This freak Of fortune is tinctured
with the colors of romance. Belonging to one
of the Pennsylvania regiments, be was engaged
in the battle of Gettysburg, in which he received
a wound in the arm. Returning from the field,
he became faint from the loss of blood, and was
kindly taken care of by benevolent family liv-
ing near by. During his confinement, woman,
whose heart is always alive to suffering human
ity, tenderly watched over him. Her tender
nursing kindled loves fame. The nurse and
patient promised each other days offuture bliss.
The father of the family perceiving this state of
affairs and weakening under the infirmites of
age, made his will prior to their marriage, in
which he bequeathed this clever estate to The sol
dier and his expectant bride, both of whom were
unconscious of such paternal favor. The young
soldier engaged in teaching, nobly striving to
honestly earn his Bread and was thus laboring
when his attorney notified him of his happy for

Be CHEERFUL AT Your MEALS. The teneft deriv-
ed from food taken depends very much upon the
condition of the body while eating. If taken in
a moody, cross or despairing condition of the
mind, digestion is much less perfect and slower
than when taken with cheerful disposition
The very rapid and silent eating, too common
among Americans should be avoided, and some
topic of interest introduced at meals that all may
partake in and if q hearty laugh is occasional-
iy indnlged in it will be all the better tbs not
uncommon that a person dining in pleasant and
sociable company can eat and digest well that
which, when eaten alone, and the mind absorbed
in some deep study, or brooding over cares and
disappointments, would be long undigested in
the stomach, causing disarrangement and pain
and, if much INDUCED in, becomes the cause Of
permanent and irreparable injury to the system.

INSPIRED ELoQUENCE.--In one of the most pop
ulous of the western towns of the commonwealth
resided two orthodox deacons one Deacon Bid

the other Deacon Crawfoot, plain farmer, and
living on the outskirts on the mountain side. Dur
ring protracted meeting held in the village,
Deacon Crawfoot came in to attend it, and re-

his brother deacon.

TRADE IN PlTTsBURG.-The Pittsburg journals
are discussing the rank which their city holds in
the United States as a manufacturing communi-
ty. They exhibit the figures to establish that the
New Workers were wrong when they gave to the
Smoky City position as the fourteenth in the
list They claim to be the third, and show that
according to the revenue returns, the value of tax
alton on manufactured articles in PttSburg, from
March, 1865, to March, 1866, was $s9, 460, ,636.--
If the articles not subject to taxation be included
the total value of manufactures would be $780,
ooO, 900. Iron and steel hold the first place in
this list, being valued at $27, l24, s52. 1t also
appears from the statistics that Pittsburg paid,
during the years specified, about seventy-four per
cent, or nearly three-fourths of the revenue de-
rived from the manufacture of glass in Pennsyl-
vania, and nearly one third of the sum obtained
from the whole United States. To sum up it is
claimed that the true rank of Pittsburg, then, is
first west of the mountains and third in the Uni-
ted States in manufactures; and second of West
ern localities in population,
