GssrILrrr.-Gentility is neither in birth,
manner nor fashion, but in mind. A high
sense of honor, q determination never to take
mean advantage of another, an adherence
TO truth, delicaey and politeness towards these
with those we have dealings, are essential
and distinguishing characteristics of a gen.
teman.
SWEET OIL, according to the American
Artlzan, is an antidote for poison. 1t says
that poison of any conceivable description
and degree of potency, which has been swal>
lowed, Intentionally or by accident, may be
rendered instantly harmless by swallowing
two gills Of sweet oil. An individual with Z
very strong constitution should take twice the
quantity. This oil will neutralize every form
of vegetable or mineral poison with which
physicians and chemists are acquainted. We
give this as we find it, and hope for the sake
of suffering humanity that it may prove true.
LARGE VS.. SMALL KERNELS ron SEED.--
Some ten years ago planted an ear of corn
totest the difference between the product OF
the kernels of both ends and the middle OF
the ear, and will give you the result The
soil was just alike, the cultivation the same,
and the crop very different. PLANTED the
first two rows from the large end ofthe ear,
the next two rows from the middle, and the
las, two rows from the tip or small end and
planted all the same morning. The large
end produced fair sized ears, with irregular
rows, much as you will find them at that enc
ofthe ear. SThe middle kernels produced
large ears, mostly straightforward and fair
The tips brought forth nabbaas sonty. Their,

have raised corn more or less, for forty years
and now plant oily about half, or at mos
two. thirds, of the kernels on each ear Of corn

The WOMEN or A ScorTIsH Island
correspondent Of the Glasgow Herald, VIII,
recently visited the island Of Lewis, in tn
Hebrides, SAYS:
The women do all the heavy work. The
dig, delve aud hoe they carry heavy load
of manure to the fields, and in the peat seq
ton you see them all day carrying cresltal
ofpeat from the bog. You will often see
man trudging along the road beside a woman
but the creel is always on the woman's back
they come to q river or ford. the woman
crosses first, deposits her creel on the othe
side, and then returns to carry the maj
across. | only saw this once, but the farmer
tell me it is thing OF every day occurrence
When the creel is empty the man sometime
sings it over his own shoulders, and the
mounts upon the back of the woman, VIII
carries them both across together. This,
am told, is the only occasions BY which, q
any chance, YOU see a creel upon the bac
of man. The woman in the rural district
here is, IN fact, beast of burden, and th
men, 10 looking out for wives, look largel
