Au Accommodating Young Man.

A little incident, says the Hartford Courau',
occurred not long since in one of the cars of
the Hartford aud New Haven Railroad, which
gave gratifying proof Of the Difference paid
by young to the wishes of the ladies. and
their readiness to supply want as soon as it
becomes known. The car in question was
nearly filled, as cars are apt to be in this day
of travel. Its aoor n ear the door Was covered
with tobacco juice, Is, alas, car floors are
likely to be in this day when the use of the
vile weed so much prevails. At one Of the
way stations we'll dresse lady entered the
car, looked with unconccaled disgust ut the
pools Of yellow and Shiny juice on the door,
then raised her dress slightly and picked her
way across. The only vacant sitting in the
car was on q seat occupied in part by o
young man, who at once made room for her
by his side As soon as she was seated, with
look Of relief, mingled with one Of solici-
tude, the lady asked her scat mate, "Do you
chew tobacco?n "No ma am was the reply,
''but can get you chew, if You like
The look Of disgust again crept over the
lady's face, while those sitting by smiled
audibly.

1t is a commonly received notion that hard
study is the unhealthy element Of college life
But from the tables Of the mortality Of Harvard
University, collected by Professor Pierce
from the last triennial catalogue. it is clearly
demonstrated that the excess of deaths for the
first ten vears after graduation is found in
that portion of each class inferior in scholar
ship. Every one who has been through the
curriculum knows that .Eschuylus and polit>
ical economy injure one, late hours and rum
punches use up dozen and that the two lit
tie fingers of Morpheus are heavier than the
loins OF Euclid. Dissipation is swift and
sure destroyer, and every young man who
follows it is as the early flower exposed to un.
timely frost. Those who have been inveigled
in the paths of vice arc named s.Legion," for
there are many-cnough to convince every
novitiate that he has no security that he shall
escape similar fate. A few hours Of sleep
each night, high living and plenty Of
''smasher' make war upon every function in
the human body. The brains, the heart, the
lungs, the bones, the lesh-every part and
faculty-are over-taxed, worn and weakened
by the terrific energy of passion and appetite
loosed from restraint until, like dilapidated
mansion, the ''earthly house of this tabcrna-
Gle" falls into ruinous decay. Fast young
men, right about!

agricultural.



A correspondent Of the Irsirie "a, mer,
writes:
"Affer some years experience, I find I have
had the best success by taking the lamls csf
from the ewes about the frat of September and
turning them into the corn field, with one or
two old ewes as leaders, TO make shcn gentle
and learn them to eat, and leave tiem eiss.e
until grass comes next spring. They then
need but little attcn,ien cxceF. - salt encc
or twice week, aud to feed few times dur
ing severe storms, when they will ast venture
far enough from their shelter, behind seiae
hedge or fence, to find their food.
If they have not sufficient range they win
want little corn during the last few weeks
Of winter and early spring. But have had
flock Of between forty and fifty fine woolcl
lambs go through the winter in THIS way in
an eighty acre field, with only two or three
feeds Of corn, from grass to grass, and come
out in the spring fat enough for mutton, with
out the loss of lamb, and show an average
of FIVE pounds Of washed wool. And scarse-
ly missed the food they ate, as they found
most of it along the hedges, turn rows and
fence corners, and no doubt turned to good
account . considerable amount Of weeds and
weed seeds. One cause Of their thriving -
we'll l attribute to the great variety Of feed
they were treated to, which was very gratis
flying to their appetites.
1t is also good plan TO select all the thin
weak yearlings, and At the beginning OF fee,l-
ing time turn them with the lambs, as it i.
about as difficult to winter these as the lambs

Drink, but Remember.

If you think it is your duty to drink intox-
icating liquors, by all means do SO. On no
account violate your conscientious convict ,ns
but while you raise the cup to your lips, re-
member that this draught represents the bread
Of some starving brother, for.the food of six
million persons is yearly grasped by the malt
ter and distiller, and its nourishment destroy
ed.
Remember that so long as you are in health
these liquors are wholly unnecessary; 200O
medical men have asserted it, and hundreds
Of thousands Of teetotalcrs have proved it.
Remember that most people who do as you
do, injure their health and shorten their lives
by SO doing.
Remember that, not drunkenness alone, but
drinking, fills our jails, our penitentiaries
our poor houses, and our lunatic asyl lums -
employs our coronors and hangmen; and
works mischief incurable on all ranks and
both sexes, of which no human institution
takes any cognizance.
Remember that drinking retards education,
industry, sanitary reform and every branch
of political and social Improvement.
Remember that multitudes yearly die
drunkards s death and 60 to meet drunkards
doom.
Remember that every year multitudes fall
from your moderate ranks to recruit the
wasted army Of drunkards.
Re.-ember that every drunkard tried to fol-
fow The example you set; and in the trial fell
from his slippery ground into the whirlpool
of intemperance.
Remember that if you sanction the custom
you are answerable for its fruits.
Remember that the weak and tempted ones
look to you, and that, under God, it depends
on you whether they be drunkards or sober
men.
Remember that ITO him who knoweth to do
good, and ioeth it not, to him it is sin )" and
that there is "woe to him through whom the
offensc cometh TO the little Ones"
Remember that you cannot be neutral, and
that there will be day when you will be un-
able to plead that you were ignorant.
Remember that all this weight Of resposi-
bility rests with you As you raise that cup;-
then drink If you think it is right, but We
envy not your conscience.

To the query, "does not cutting off the tap
root shorten the life Of tree ?" the n r. FAR
mers club makes the following reply and
suggestion.
I'm this part Of the country are occasions
ally to be seen apple trees which are "a T. A0C
years cd, while all the orchards that h,lxse
been set out fifty years have died out. Two.t
years ago saw q tree from which Ate ap-s
Piles more than fifty years before. This tree
had grown up in the forrest, and when the
land was cleared was left standing, and was
probably thirty years old when | fret saw it.,
And there is q tree in q ucighboring town,
which bore Sc bushels Of apples in the year
lS20-41 years ago-and it has been good
bearer ever since, and this year is loaded
with fruit. The practice always has been to
cut off the tap root when setting out tree,
and my opinion is that these ancient trees
came up where they now stand, and their tap
roots were left to penetrate into the subsoil.
The standard pear is . long lived tree; now,
If you cut OF its tap root the other roots will
run down into the subsoil and penetrate into
the hard pan, and into the seams OF Lodges,
From all this I conclude that a tree needs
something for its support besides what it gets
from the top soil. wish some young person
would experiment on the subjcct-say, take
some trees one year oil, and be careful that
none Of the tap roots are broken, and plant
.hem in one row: and plant another row Of
the same kind, from which let the tap roots
be cut off, and make record, so that the next
generation may know the result -
1t may be worth while to inquire whether
in country like the Northwest, where apple
trees fail at best, the cutting of Of the tAp>A
root in transplanting does not weaken the
constitution Of the tree, and render it moro
exposed to the climatic influences with which
it has to contend.

Effects Of Drink-Chased by ariend."

About half past six last evening while sew
eral persons were crossing Kinzie street
bridge, great excitement was caused among
the pedestrians by man named Pierce DELHI
erately leaping over the guard Of the bridge
into the river. lie disappeared from sight
beneath the water for several seconds, and on
his coming to the surface screamed and yelled
franticly. Every now and then he would
strike out for the river bank, aud would in
his course dive as if endeavoring TO avoid
somebody. When almost exhausted some by
ISLANDERS succeeded in rcscuing him. When
in the boat he struggled as much as his vast
ed strength would allow him, groaned deeply
and seemed to suffer horrible mental torments
lie was conveyed 10 the Union street station
where he was questioned as to the cause Of
his strange conduct. lie replied in most
excited manner, all the time looking around
the room. that the Captain Of ship in which
he had been sailing had followed him about
for months past in the shape Of fend and
with loaded revolver always pointed at him.
Yesterday he was in saloon drinking, and
on suddenly looking around saw the fend
peering at him from behind the door and in
the act Of presenting the revolver at him. He
ran out into the street, the fend after him.
The enemy was within few rods Of him
when he reached the bridge, and would have
shot him had he not jumped into the river
Even while there the demon fired two or three
shots at him which he cluded by diving.
1t was very evident that he was victim Of
intemperance, and was suffering from an at
tack of the delirium tremens He was taken to
the Washington Home Chicago Journal.

Keeping Grapes.

There many methods practieei in Keep

Have the fruit fresh and dry from the vines;
and pack in shallow boxes, say about five
inches in depth and from one TO two fest
square, and place the boxes in a cool Cry
place, safe from frost. The lower the temper.
ature of the room above the freezing point the
better. -
An other method is, and one We prefer over
any other, to pick the fruit when perfectly
dry and ripe, aod pack carefully il. shallow
boxes between layers Of Gotten batting-putt-
ing not more than three or four layers in :
box and c.ver tight. We also CLEAN the fol-
lowing from our exchanges:
FTst-lnto the bottom of a small keg OF
nail cask put layer Of grape leaves fresh
from the vines. On these carefully place a
layer Of sound ripe, dry grapes, then leaves
and grapes in alternate layers till the keg is
full. Head up the keg and bury it in same
we'll drained ground, below the depth Of tire
frost. Like other things excluded from the
light and air, they will change rapidly on ex>
posure, and hence wheu the keg is opened aud
they are found good use then freely.
Second-Take clean, small boxes, pick off
the punches of grapes carefully and pack them
in dry grape leaves. Keep the boxes in dry
cool place, being careful not to let them freeze.
We generally have grapes TIL May.
Thrd-Cut the branches carefully of the
vines, dip the stems where cut into melted
wax, then wrap with paper or CLOTH. Put .
layer Of cotton on the bottom Of your box,
then layer of grapes, and layer of cotton
aud so on. Set the box where the grapes will
not freeze, and they may be kept good till
spring.
We are inclined to think this last process
the best Of all. We have never tried tie Wax
ing and papering when packing in cotton
