Too TRUE.-When a rakish youth
goes astray, friends gather around him
in order to restore him to the path of
virtue. Gentleness and kindness are
laYished to win him back to innocence
and peace. No one would suspect that
be had ever sinDed. But Whena poor,
oonfding girl is betrayed, she receives
the brand Of society, and Is driven
from the ways of virtue The betray-
er is honoured, respected, esteemed,
but there is no peace for her Il Is side
of the grave. Society has no loving
helping hand for her-nO smile Of
peace-no voice Of forgiveness. These
are earthly mortalities unknown to
heaven. There is q deep wrong In
them and fearful are the consequences.

Weeds.---HOV TO Dispose of
Them,

A correspondent Of the Rural Amer
lean, writing on the subject says:
This is the way to dispose Of them :
Clean out your garden, removing as
far as possible every weed, root and
branch, but do not leave them scattered
all over the surface of the ground. If
you do they will be very apt to take
root and grow. Besides, if left ex-
posed to the sun, their fertlizing value
will be wasted, for the greatest part of
their substance will decompose and es.
cape by evaporation. The best way
is to gather them in heaps, and cover
with a little dirt, and leave them to
decay. This will leaye the ground
clean, and it will remain so much lon.
ger than it otherwise would; and they
will assist to improve the soil which
their growth has helped to impover-
! ish.

AGRICULTURAL,
A Thousand Dollar Cow,

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman tells story of remarks.
BILE cow owned by Mr.. Sratham Of
New Hampshire If the statements
are true, it is probably the most pro.
ductive cow in the world The record
runs thus: 1T is stated, on the au.
thority of the Massachusetts Agricul.
tural Society, that this COW, in the
first year after being bought, and with
ordinary keep, made $50 pounds of
butter. The next year she bad twelve
bushels of corn meal, and then gave
800 pounds of butter The next wear
she had thirty-fve bushels, and gave
more than 500 pounds. The next year
she had a bushel week and all her
own milk skinned, and she then gave
from the 5th of April TO the 25th of
September, 480 pounds, besides suck.
ling her calf for five weeks. 1t was
an extraordinary yield, but it seems
the Scammon cow takes the lead by at
least 1870 pounds. The cow Is Of the
Ayrshire breed, of pale yellow color
and was raised by Mr. S. When she
was six years old, an account of butter
made from her was kept The mum.
Der of pounds realized was six hundred
and ten, and her milk fourteen thous-
and five hundred and forty pounds,
being almost 40 pounds day through
the year, and nearly twelve pounds of
butter week through the year
That must be the COW the city lady
was inquiring for-'the one that gives

Irefragble FToof-A Philadelphia
gentleman of festive tastes, who takes
a q fair shake at all the obtainable
pleasures of the town, last week assis-
ted at heavy dinner, took much port
able, and did not leave for home until
ever so many O'clock. On reaching
his door step and fishing up his night
key, be became satisfied that he was
essentially convivialized, and not pre-
cisely in that condition which a good
husband should be to meet good wife
Cautiously entering the hall, ne stop

and congratulated himself that the
family were asleep Quietly he took
off Overcoat, drew off boots, turned oil

iieyed he was reasonably right, stealth,
lily entered, found gas turned low, wife
apparently asleep; thought she 0n,
asleep; sat down, listened again, no
stir; began to undress; got coat, vest
pants, drawers, stockings, all safely
off; was journeying carefully toward

asked: Coming to bed, dear?' Yes

Excellent whitewash.

Whitewash is one of the most valu.
able articles in the world when prop
erly applied. 1t prevents not only the
decay of wood, bnt conduces greatly
to the healthiness ofali buildings, ,wheth.
er of wood or stone. Outbuildings and
fences, when not painted, should be
supplied once Or twice every year with
good coat of whitewash, which
should be prepared in the following
way:
Take a clean, water-tight barrel, or
other suitable cask, and put into it
half a bushel of lime. Slack it by
pouring water over it, boiling hot, and
in sufficient quantity to cover it five
inches deep, and stir it briskly until
thoroughly Stacked. When the slack
has been effected, dissolve it in water,
and add two pounds Of sui phate ofznc
and one of common salt. These will
cause the wash to harden, and prevent
its cracking, which gives an unseemly
appearance to the work. If desirable,
q beautiful cream color may be com
municated to. the above wash by add
ing 3 pounds of yellow ochre; or a
good pearl or lead color, by the add.
ton of lamp, vine or ivory black
Turkish or American, the latter is the
cheapest, one pound Indian red, and
one pound common lampblack. For
common stone color add four pounds
raw umber and two pounds lampblack.
This wash may be applied with CON-
mon brush, and will be found much
superior, both in appearance and dura,
bility, to common whitewash now in
use.

Save Your OH-Put the wick into
the lamp, and fill the latter about half
full with coarse salt, and then put in
about one inch of OIL, and it will be
found that great saving will be the re-
suit. The salt wastes gradually away
during the burning, and must therefore
be renewed from time to time. The
light is purer and more brilliant than
without the salt, and the wick needs
no snufing.
