PREPARATION OF WHITEwAsH.-
White wash is one of the most valua-
bic articles In the world when proper
ly applied. Ii prevents not only the
decay of wood but couduces greatly
to the healthiuess of all buildings,
whether of wood or stone. Outbuild-
ings and fences, when not painted,
should be supplied once or twice year
with a good coat Of white wash, which
should be prepared in the following
manner Take a clean air tight bar
rel, or other suitable cask, aud put in
half a bushel Of lime. Slack it by
pouring water over it, boiling hot, and
nut ia sufficient quantity Co cover it
FIVE inches deep, aud stir it hriskly un-
I'll thoroughly scalded. When the
Stacking has been effected, dissolve it
in water, and add two pounds of sui
phate of zinc, aud one of common
salt These will cause the wash 70
harden, and prevent it cracking. which
gives and Uuseemly appearance to the
work. IF desirable, a beautiful cream
color may be communicated 60 the
above wash, by adding three pounds
of yellow Ocher; or q good pearl or
lead color. by addition of lamp, vine
or ivory black. For fawn color. add
four pounds umber, Turkish or Amer
lean, the latter is the cheapest, one
pound India red, and one pound COM
mon lampblack. This wash may be
applied with q common whitewash
trush, and will be found much supe-
riOr, both in appearance aud durabih-
ty, to common whiteWash.

EARLY TOMATOES AND CUCUBBERs.
"A correspondent Of the FarnJ and
Fjreside says be gets tomatoes and Gu
cumbers two or three weeks earlier
than they are usually found in North
ern markets, by adopting the follow
ing plan:
Our tomato practice is to scrape out
two dozen or so fair sized turnips to
thin shells, fill them with rich garden
mould, plant a few seeds in each,
place them in box Of earth, covering
quite up to the top, place the box In
warm room. After the plants are up
water when required, give light and
out. door air on all pleasant warm
days. Select the strongest plant in
each shell. to grow, pulling out the
others. Pinch back too vigorous
shoots, urge stout growth by frequent
slight feelings Of tepid sour milk
sometimes weak soap suds, and when
the frost season is fairly past, set tur-
nip shells, tomato plants and all IN the
outdoor soil where they are to grow,
and they will go right on growing,
without any hesitation or standing
still, as they do from a hot bed.
Cucumbers we persuade forward In
the same manner planting them IN
blocks Of turf instead of turnip shells,
and almost always we have tomatoes
and cucumbers we'll set on the vines
before setting them in out door posi-
ton. Cucumbers, white. crisp, cool
tender, almost seedless free from all
unpleasant, earthly taste. and as deli
cate and delicious as cucumbers can
be, may be induced by simply placing
small fruit within a section Of drain
tile, hower-pot, or old bottle with the
neck knocked off, covering them from
the sun light and growing to the table
size in the dark"

which Minnie must have painted from
a photograph. The fountains of grief
were unlocked and when Mrs. Cla-
verie entered, 1t was to see a strange
gentleman sobbing aloud before the
picture of Minnie's baby. A suspic
lou of the truth flashed across her
mind, and advancing to his side, she
laid her hand kindly on his arm.
"Oh, Auntie Claverie, what shall I
do ?''
This was all the poor fellow could
say.
"You have sinned, suffered and, let
US hope, repented. Don't take it so
hard, dear perhaps a reconciliation
can be effected" "
But Minnie, my darling wife, how
shall [ ever make her understand how
terribly I have suffered, and how truly
repentant for all my past harshness
and injustice ? Tell me what to do,
auntie"
Just at this moment the little dark
robed figure gilded in, and, seeing her
aunt engaged in earnest confidential
consultation with a gentleman, was
about to withdraw. when Arthur
caught a glimpse Of her, and with a
bound stood before her.
"Oh, Minnie-my wife-for GOd's
sake, don't run away from me again.
Come to my arms, dear" and he ex-
tended wide the once coveted retreat,
but Minnie stood without stirring
muscle. like one In a dream. You
will not Oh, Minnie, my darling, I
have wandered up and down the earth
with but one thought-one desire
that you might be restored to me.
But, Minnie. if you refuse my love
and my shelter, in the memory of our
mutual lOve-that bGbY-saY that you
forgive me-.
The little figure crept nearer, and
laying her head upon his bosom, softly
said
THE fault was not all on your side,
dear. I. too, have been to blame but
my great loss almost drove me insane.
1 forgive you everything can you for
give me my heartlessness ~
II have nothing to forgive. Ny own
inattention, fault-fndiBg, and want Of
sympathy produced this result. You
forgive me, Minnie can you do any
more than that p and Arthurs voice
sunk to a whispered entreaty, and
Minnie clung closer to his bosom.
Yes, Arthur, l can love you more
than ever. May I go home with your"
\ es, Minnie our home is just as
you left it.
And, amid smiles and tears, and
Aunt Claverie's congratulations, Ar
thur and Minnie drove home, reunited
and with an experience which was Of
more value than any other discipline
could possibly have been. Let us
hope that, hereafter, unkindness may

BEEs.-Tbere are three classes of bees
in every colony, namely: the drone or
male. the queen or mother of the colo
ny, and the working or hOney-making
branch of the family. All occupy
their separate divisions of the hive,
queen having her cell distinct and $50
lated. The working bee is the small
lest of the three divisions, but nature
has made amends by imparting to them
restless activity aud industry which
more than supplies the deficiency as
to size. In a strong healthy colony
they number from thirty to forty thou
sand. while few hundreds comprise
the force of nOn-producers. The
queen is an object of unueasiDg care
and solicitude. IF this head Of the
household meets with a mishap, the
family is at once thrown iOto confus-
ion. Labor Is suspended and the
workers may be seen cOursing wildly
about in search of the lost one. This
kind of break up continues until
a new queen is developed, when order
is restored in the disOrganized house
hold. According to the authority of
writers on bee culture and manage
ment, fertile queen, during the bet
ter portion of the honey season, de-
posIts about three thousand eggs per
day, and if she has been fertilized the
product of these will be working bees.
1t will be seen that the three divisions,
constituting a perfect colony, vary in
size, form, and color.
The queen has an elongated body
with sh nrt wings and a darker hue
than either the drOne or the worker.
The Italian queen Is, however, lighter
colored than either the drOne or Wor k
er, much of her body being a golden
yellow. The queen is said to live
from three to four years. The Messrs
King, In their work on tho honey bee,
speaking Of the dTOnes, say that they
ARE more bulky, though somewhat
shorter than the queen, and unlike
her, their wings are long enough to
cover the entire abdomen" They are
clumsy and uncoUth in appearance, and
when flying may be distinguished by
their bOisterous hum. They are des-
titute of the sack for carrying honey
OF grooves on their thighs for pollen
hence they are untitled for the labors
of the hive. Their functions seem
simply fertilizing the queens, or, In
other words, to propagate and rot, "
for, when their functions are per-
formed, the workers drive them forth
to perish. These last are prodigies Of
industry and have been cited. for long
ages, as examples worthy of being i'm
itated by man.

EVILS OF GossIP-I have known a
country society which Withered away
all to nothing under the dry rot Of
gossip only Friendships, once as firm
as granite, dissolved to jelly, and then
run away to water, only because of this;
love, that promised future as eDdur-
ing as heaven and as stable as truth,
avaporated into a morning mist that
turned to a days long tears, only be-
cause of this; a father and a son were set
foot to foot with the fiery breath of an
anger that would never cool again be
tween them, only because of this and
a husband and his young wife, each
straiuing at the heated leash which In
the beginning had been the golden
bondage of a God blessed love, sat
mOurnfully by the side of the grave
where all their love and all their Joy
lay buried, and only because Of this.
I have seen faith transformed to mean
doubt, hope give place to grim despair.
and charity take on itself the features
of black malevolence, all because of
the spell words of scandal and the
magic mutteriDgs of gossip. Great
crimes work great wrong, and the
deeper tragedies of human life spring
from its larger passions; but wOeful
and most mournful are the uncatalog-
ued tragedies that issue from gossip
aud detractiOn; most mOurnful the
shipwreck often made of noble natures
and lovely lives by the bitter winds
and dead salt waters of SANDER. So
easy to say, yet so hard to disprove-
throwing on the innocent all the bur
den and the strain of demonstrating
their innocence and Furnishing them

stings they never see, and TO silence
works they never hear-gOssip aud

Down where tire deepest shadows fall,
Beneath a 81 eeping willow
With snowy robes, and rings Of gold,
Upon a clay-cold pillow,
I laid my darling down to rest,
And left her there, alone,
With daisy sOds upon her breast,
My beautiful, my own.
know the wild birds soon will sing
Among the daisies sweet and fair,
Beneath the weeping willow bree,
But Ohl my darling is not there.
Her songs are sWeeter, hOlier far
Than bluebird's notes or robins layi
For she has found the shining patch
That leads along the golden way.
And while, from tenderest depths of blue,
Nights tears fall, trembling, on the sod,
She wears a dazzling crown of gold,
And treads the shining courts Of Godi
Her fingers fair upon the strings.
Attuned to themes of love and bliss.
And miustrelsy, that far Outvies
The songs Of such a world as this.

ALWAYS PATRONIZE ADVERTISING
HOUsEs.-Some one who knows what
he is talking about. thus discourses:-
I'VE give this advice conscientiously.
When we see a business firm giving
proper publicity to their particular
branch of trade, we argue at once that
such a house is alive to the require
meuts of the time. It implies not on
Iy keen sagacity. but likewise that sort
Of liberality which is sure to attract
the attention of the trade. Many es-
Adjustments forego the benefits Of ad-
vertising from spirit of mere penu-
TiOUsness. They reason in this way:
Should we incur an outlay of $50, or
500, or $500, possibly we may never
get it back again-then it would be so
much thrown away. These are tim
i'd men always, and properly belong to
a past generation. The true man of
business. appreciating the fair adVan-
tages of being represented in newspa-
per columns, looks upon advertising
as bread cast upon wayer'-and should
he find no immediate fruits Of his eX-
penditure, he rests at ease, being fully
satisfied that it will return after many
days,
1.-The business house that display It's
advertisement in bold type and telling
words affords pretty safe index to the
spirit which animates a mercantile es-
Enlistment. We see IN it life, ener-
gy, tact-in a word, capacity to cope
with cOtempOTaneous rivalry in the
business world.
1T is fact patent to all observers
IN this direction, that advertising
houses invariably do more business
than those that refuse or neglect to do
so. Where the motive for this omis-
sion can be traced to cLoseness or par
sin10ny, It is but reasonable to infer
that they carry this spirit in all bust
ness transactions There is a sort of
electro magnetism In business-attrac-
ton and epulsiCn-positive and mega
tive. Those who have the reputation
of being liberal, eLterprising, and sa-
gacious, will always distance competi-
ton when governed by the opposite
elements.
I'VE are satisfied, both by personal
experience and the concurrence of
many practical persons who have the
best evidence for what they say, that
as a rule those loho advertise deal Nth
bu1ers more do5Uantage0Wsiy than those
houses that do not. The reasons are
obvious and philosophical. We con-
cIude as we began this article: AL
ways patronize advertising houses
