A COUPLE OF HINTs.-Those who
arc fond Of green corn during
the winter do not all know that Il
may be preserved by packing il
tightly in casks or barrels and
covering it with brine strong
enough TO keep cucumbers. The
corn should be taken with tho husks
on. Corn thus prepared, if kept
covered with brine, will keep in
good order for year or more, and
will be sufficiently fresh for the
table when boiled.

put some tar in tho entrance Of
their dwellings, so that thoy can.

it they will not trouble you long.

SUMMER PRuNINo.-We have
lonr beAn Ia favor Of the summer
pruning o. irait trees, OF all sizes
Pail twenty. years ago we we're
convinced ofits good results. Iii
advantageous in two ways. First,
by shortening in the rapidly grow
ing branches it produces fruit spurs
for the following year, and brings
tho trees into any desired form. -
Second, whom larger limbs are
removed, tho wound instead OF
leaving a bare, proiruding and
decaying stump, beautifully heals
up. making a sound amputation.
The period when the pruning
should DO done is one OF prime
importance. We sec June recon-
mendcd, while the trees arc in
their mil fret growth. Without
having experimental, and looking
TO the condition of the trees, in
this month, it does not meot our
assent.
We do not believe that it is
advisable TO prune before tho first
growth Of the season is completed,
because OF the immaturity of the
wood, which must produce in the
second growth less vigorous shoots,
besides losing, to a large extent,
the yield OF fruit the sncceediu g |
year, which is sure to follow ju-
dicious shortening in q later pc
riod.
In ourjudgment'summe pruning
should thke place between the If
teenth of July and tenth of August
a period when the sap is quescent |
and nature is resting awhile from
her labors. We speak trom our
own knowledge Of the valuc OF
midsummer pruning Of trees, large
or small.-Fdrm and FireSide.

How Slow the Night Rolls Away.

These words fell upon our ears from
the lips of poor sufferer in the lonely
hours of midnight. They are still fresh
in our memory. We recollect as we
listened to his short breathings, and saw
him writhng under the anguish of disease,
how our minds ran out upon the world
and visited the lonely cabins, gloomy
prisons, and. dark cells of the sick, and
dying. We thought how many voices
in the loneliness of that hour were ex-
claiming with sorrowul hearts, "How
slow the night rolls 4Say!" Yes, with
intense anxiety they watched the windows
if possible to catch the first faint streak
ings of morning light. One who has
watched by the bedside of suffering hu.
mapity through the long still night, when
the great heart Of the world is hushed to
repose, and the solitude of death cast its
gloom upon the bosom of nature, can
tell t. the solemn import Of the words ut
tered by this afflicted being as he grap
pled with the strong arm of disease and
endeavored to ward off the keen pointed
shafts. The mother who watches with
sleepless eye over the couch of her dy-
;np infant child, exclaims in sorrow,
6 how slow the night rolls away" The
storm.tossed mariner, who is nearing the
mort of his native home. and already in
in,aoinatioa hears the voices Of loved
ones l, lisp;ng his name, e1elsims "HoH
