Spring Work.


AS the spring opens the farmer should
give good heed to its duties. The stock
under his care should receive all needed
attention. Never, under any circum stan
ces, should they be allowed to grow poor,
at thisseason of the year. Ifturned out to
grass in poor condition, much of what
would otherwise be profits, win be rcquir-
ed to get them in proper flesh. IF they
have been wintered without the use of
roots or grain of any kind, they will now
need something of the kind. Give them
occasionally some potatoes, if you have no
beets or carrots, and a few ears of corn now
and then are of immense value to cows
with calf. Carding stock, daily, not only
makes them sleek and glossy. but tends
also to keep them docile an object wor-
thy to be sought.
See to ii, that supply of summer wood
is provided, and placed in position for
kitchen use. Prepare the manure for use,
by mixing the different kinds, and ming
ling the straw, muck or loan, with which
your barnyard may have been supplied.
When the frost is out of the ground, fences
must be repaired, or new ones built. Look
well, also, to your orchard. Prune thor
oughly your young trees, cut dead branch
es from the old trees, and supply vacan-
cies by setting out young trees of desira-
bic varieties. In setting out new trees, use
great care to procure only those varieties
which are above dispute, and then set them
so as to ensure their growth. Dig the holes
large enough TO receive the roots without
breaking them, and shovel the fine dirt
first among the roots, that all interstices
may be filled. When set, secure the stock.
by tying with soft string to stake.

BRIDES BARE pRERoGArrvE.

Some years ago a ludicrous incident
happened at Vienna. The emperor was
interrupted in the midst of cabinet coun-
ell by message from the empress, who,
it was said, wanted him Immediately. On
going to her maiesty's apartments, she
threw herself before him in an imploring
attitude, and begged him that she might
be allowed the extraordinary privilege of
putting on her oaCn stockings! The high
danes of the court, it seems, whose duty
it was to perform that function, insisted
upon discharging it, though, as their i'm
perial mistress represented, ''they tickled
her" when doing so, in way she could
not indure. The young princess, whom
fortune had raised to be the partner of the
Kaisers' throne, had been brought up in a
simple and sensible manner and really
could not see why the hands God had Civ
en- them should be less useful to Imperial
and Royal personages, than to any other
people. The emperor yielded, doubtless
to the CONSERVATION of the ladies of the
bed-chamber, who saw in this innovation
precedent fraught with danger to the
most hallowed institutions of the monar-
chy. e.i u

In conversation once held with an
eminent minister of the church he made
this fine observation: eve will say moth
ing of the way in which that sex usually
conduct an argument; but the intuitive
judgments of woman are often more to be
relied upon than the conclusions which
we reach by an elaborate process of rea-
soning. No man that has an intelligent
wife or is accustomed to the society of ed
ucated women, will dispute this. Times
without number you must have known
them to decide questions on the instant
and with unerring accuracy which you had
been poring over for hours, perhaps with
no other result than to find yourself get
ting deeper and deeper into the tangled
maze of difficulties. 1t were hardly gen
erous to alIege that they achieve these
feats less by reasoning than sort of sa-
gacity which approximates to the sure in
stinct Of the animal races; and yet there
seems to be some ground for the remark
of witty French writer, that when man
has toiled, step by stepup ahight of stairs,
he viii be sure to find a woman at the
top; but she viii not be able to tell how
she got there. How she got there, how
ever, is of little moment. If the conelu-
sions woman has reached are sound, that
is all that concerns us. And that they
are very apt to be sound on the practical
matters of domestic and secular life, moth
ing but prejudice or selfconeeit can pre-
vent us from acknowledging. The in
ference, therefore, is unavoidable, that the
man who thinks it beneath his dignity to
take counsel with an intelligent wife stands
in his own light and betrays that lack of
Judgment which he tacitly attributes to

WHAT Is POETRY.

A smile, tear, a longing after the things
Of eternityl It lives in all created exis-
tence, in man, and every object that sur
rounds him. There is poetry in the gen.
tie influences of love and affection; in the
quiet broodings of the soul over the MEM
ories of early years, and in the thoughts of
that glory which chains our spirits to the
gates of paradise. There is poetry, too,
in the harmonies of nature. 1t glitters in
the wave, the rainbow, the tightening and
the stars; its cadence is heard in thethun-
der of the cataract; its softer tones 90
sweetly up from the thousands voice-bards
Of the wind, the rivulet and forest; and
the cloud and sky go floating over us to
the music of its melodies. There is not
moonlight ray that comes down upon
the stream or hill, not breeze, calling
from its blue air, thrown to the birds Of
the summer valleys, or sounding through
midnight rains its low and a mournfal
dilge over the perishing flower of spring
not cloud bathing itself ike an angel yis-
ion in the rosy bushes of autumn twilight,
nor rock, glowing in the yellow star
light, as if dreaming Of the Eden land, but
is full of the beautiful radiance of poetry.
1t is the soul of being The earth and
heaven are quickened by It's spirits, and
the heavens of the great deep, in the temp
est and the calm, are but its ascent and
mysterious workings Prentice
