Sunaeh Leaves,

During the months July, August and
September, sumach leaves should be gathered
and prepared for market There are thousands
of these bushes growing wild over fields which
can be turned to profitable use by a little
energy and industry. Sumach leaves are
easily gathered and find ready sale at very
remunerative prices. The women and chill
dren incapable of regular farm work, can be
proftably employed in gathering and curing
this natural and abundant growth of our fields.
They may make more money thereby without
any expense, than by any of the ordinary
occupations in which they employ or waste
their time.
Sumach leaves are cured as easily as hay
and somewhat like it. The leaves may be
stripped from the stems in the field and
carried home to dry or the stems with the
leaves may be taken and cured and then the
leaves can be stripped off. The stems are of
no value, and if mixed with the leaves injure
the sale. The leaves should be Immediately
spread out in the shade to dry, and stirred or
turned over several times day while curing
to prevent their moulding. While drying
they must be protected from rain and heavy
dews, and when sufficiently dry, nothing more
is required but to keep them dry in shed or
barn till sent to market. When money is SO
much needed by our people not a sumach
leaf should be allowed to waste. Let the
farmers put their children to work at this
business and try it.

A remarkable instance is related by DIR.

A remarkable instance is related by Dr.
Macklin, of man who waited on the Gref1ier
Fagel, to display his wonderful memory, offer
ing to give any proof of it that might be re-
quired a newspaper was lying on the table,
and he was requested to'read it through and
then repeat it verbatim. He accordingly did
so, without emitting single word from the
title to the imprint at the end. The Greff1er
Eagle expressed his astonishment. "Oh,"
said the man, "this is nothing, shall I now
repeat the same backwards? 2" "It is impos-
sibe !" replied the Grefier. "By no means" !"
said the other, "if you have patience to hear
it" He then, without the least hesitation,
repeated every seperatc article, beginning at
the imprint, and ending at the title.

A Ton of Hay by Measure.

1t is a matter of considerable dispute how
much hay in the nloU ought to be allowed, as
ton in weight. In some of the agricultural
journals figures widely apart are given as cor
rect. Some assert that cube of 10 feet
square is required, or 900 cubic feet while
others place it as low as 6 feet square aud s
feet deep, OF only 392 cubic feet. Now, both
of these cannot be right, neither can any
measure be fixed upon to hold good under all
circumstances. Hay, at the bottom of the
NOW, will be more solid than at the surface,
and the whole will be very much affected by
the quantity of grain put on the top of it,
(if any, and the depth of the hay.
But, having occasion to sell ton in my
barn, to be sure of the quantity for the future
reference, measured off space feet square
on one corner of the NOW, and cut down 7
feet deep, and found the hay removed weighed
1920 lbs, thus making 4S4 cubic feet, good
measure for ton of average hay; it was
taken from the surface, upon which 200 dozen
of good oats had been stored. The hay was
p feet deep.
In this county, when hay is sold in tho
barn, it is generally calculated 1872 feet to
a ton, which am confident will always fall
short. On the contrary 4S4 is as near tho
correct number as actual trial will give me-

Too Big TO CoUNT-The task of count
ing out the dollars, at the rate of one dollar
a second. or sixty minute, which would dis
charge the two thousand five hundred mil
lions of public debt of this country, would
consume over two hundred years, if attempt
ed by single individual, and he could live
to accomplish it. To cancel this debt would
require, at the rate of cancellation now going
on, the hbor of six millions of operatives over
two thousand years; and then it could not be
done, for we arc not wiping out any portion
of it the present year, nor do we bid far to.
The operations of this blessing" have been
splendid for all the Jay Cooke tribe. Mil
lions per year have gone from the many poor
into the pockets of the rich.-DGy BooA

Where stood our humble cot.

A new one stands there now
What fun we've had in that old bayi
What irolics in the mowl,
The old well-sweep has disappeared;
Instead thereis a pump;

Is now without a stump.

And cut while was there.

Where fret beneath the broiling sun
Our cradles oft we swung.

The only cradle now. DAYS swung

AWFUL EFFECT OF ohm
Shaaf of Rutlcdge township, ILL.,, had his
crops destroyed by the storm Of the I'd ult.,
and: being unsettled in his reason by the great
loss, on the S,h he determined to end his life
He cut his throat with razor, completely
sevcring the trachca and acsophagu5, but
leaving the arteries intact. The Dewitt
Register Of the 10Th says:
1.-The victim has survived nine days on
nourishmen5 administered through the gap
ing wound by means of a tube. He, of course,
is speechless, but being a fine writer, COM
municatcs with his friends by means of pen
and paper, which he does frequently. When
Intercepted by his father-in law, y ohm, what
made you do this dreadful thing? he took
pen and wrote: The storm has destroyed
my crop and my family would have to starve,
and | did not want to live to see it. Several
days after he first wounded himself he was
detected with an old dull pockct-knife, trying
to make his wound more speedily fatal. He
afterwards wrote on slip of paper, in answer
to question, that 'if he had not already
done the deed he would not now do it. He
is daily growing weaker, and cannot survive
many more days, and yet seems much more
unconcerned about it than do his friends and
neighbors."

"A colored man in Richmond, Va, John
Dabney by name, purchased his freedom from
his mistress just before the war for $4,000,
agreeing to pay the amount by instalments,
During the pendency of the struggle he paid
about one. half of it in Confederate currency,
which was at last so deprecated in value that
his late mistress requested him to discontinue
the payments until the close of the conflict.
When slavery was abolished the debt was. of
course, no longer due; but, notwithstanding
he was advised against such course, Dabney
lately transmitted to his old mistress, now in
INDECENT circumstances, 5000 in greenbacks.
being the balance of the $4,000 be had con-
trac:ed to pay.

And we sta nd face to face, and for letters read
There are endless words to be heard and said.

Oh the blissfuI meeting of lovers true.
Against whom ia ith has done all that faith could do,
And then dropped conquered while those slain,
Dead years of anguish, parting and pain,
Hope lifts her banner, gay. gallant and fairS
Untcinted, untorn, in the balmy air,
And the heaven of the future, golden and bright,
Arches above thcm-God guards the right.
But. oh, for the meeting to come one DAY.
When the spirit slips out of its house of clay,
When the standers by, with plying sign,
Shall softly cover this face of mIne,
And leap-whithers an who know?

Until eye to eye, without fear, see
God nd my lost as they me.

Too TRUE.-one great reason why chill
dren dislike attending church and listening
to addresses made for their special benefit is,
that but small portion of the clergymen
have the tact of bringing their thoughts to
grade equal to that of their young audience,
aud that when they have said enough they
don't know enough to stop. More Drevity
and direct application are all that is necessary
to secure the attention of the little ones; if
this is neglected, we cannot blame child,
who, seeing minister gather strength for a
new assault, yawns fearfully, and then cries
out: ''Oh, mother, he isn't going to stop at
all He's swelling all up again.

BEAUTY IN HOME -Engravings

portraits of the great and worthy dead exer-
else great influence over me. could look
on those over my own fireplace until they seem
neither absent nor departed, but living yet.
Every good picture is the best of sermons
and lectures. The sense informs the SOUL
Whatever you have, have beauty. Let beauty
be on the paper on your walls. 1t is as easy
to choose paper suggestive of the lovely in
form and color as the uncouth. Why should
not every household object be sanctioned
with this grateful charm? Each chair, each
table, each tea or chamber service, and every
object for kitchen or parlor. for the home of
the poor man, artisan, or mechanic, would
have them all worthy of home of taste.

it tightly stretched and level over the sui
phuTous flame of common birthstone match.
In every case Of stain, it is desirable to pre-
vent the cloth from becoming dry, and keep
its pores open to absorb the coloring matter

the ricks should be made to preserve the

after the tumultuous applause which greeted
him had subsidized said |: Mr. Chairman, I ac.
cept the platform of resolutions passed by the
late Democratic Convention, and 1 accept
their nomination Egreat cheeringl with feel
ings of profound gratitude; and, sir, thank
you for the very kind manner in which you
have already conveyed to me the decision of
the Democratic Convention. L accept the
nomination with the conviction that your
nomination for the Presidency is one which
will carry us to certain victory Gapplause,1 j
and because believe that the nomination is
the most proper nomination that could be
made by the Democratic party. [Applause.]
The contest which we wage is for the resto-
rution of constitutional government [cheers,]
and it is proper that we should make this
contest under the lead of one who has given
his life to the maintenance of constitutional
government. Applause. We are to make
the contest for the restoration of those great
principles of government which belong to our
race. [Great applause.l And my fellow
citizens, it is most proper that we should Sc
lect for our leader man not from military
life, but one who has devoted himselft to civil
pursuits; who has given himself to the study
and the understanding of the Constitution
and its maintenance with all the force of rea-
son and judgment. [Applause.l My fellow
citizens, l have said that the contest before
us was one for the restoration of our Govern
ment-it is also one for the restoration of our
race. [Applause, long and continued 1t
is to prevent the people of our race from be-
ing exiled from their homes [cheers,] exiled
from the Government which they formed and
created for themselves and for their children,
and to prevent them from being driven out
of the country or trodden under foot by an
inferior and semi -barbarious race. GApplause1
In this country we shall have the sympathy
of every man who is worthy to belong to the
white race. [Applause. What civilized
people on earth would refuse to associate with
themselves in all the rights and houors and
dignity of their country such men as Lee and
Johnston What civilized country on earth
would fail to do honor to those who, fighting
for an erroneous cause, yet distinguished
themselves by gallantry in that service? Tap

sought to be disfranchised and to be exiled
from their fomes-in that contest they have

MANURIYG.-Never scant your crops
Plant no more land than you manure we'll.
1t is better to have one-h half an acre of soil
well managed, than ten acres imperfectly
worked and manured. 1t requires no more
labor to manage one acre Of land that will
produce fifty bushels of sheiled corn, than it
does to manage one that will yield but twenty

to half feed our domestic animals, and why
should it not be considered equally absurd
and iDjudicious to half starve our corn and
other crops, which We rely upon mainly to
feed u.s.

education is more popular in Europe than in

to be preferred to that of colleges. Russia has
sixty-eight Agricultural schools and colleges,
one of which has three thousand acres at

schools, besides colleges, three veterinary in
stitutions, together with an expenditure of
over $4,000 for the encouragement ofagri-
culture in other ways. In Belgium there arc

HARRowINo.-Tn narrowing, it is best to
pass over the piece lengthwise tie first time
then dingonaly, and lastly across the burrows.
Always roll the land in the first place this
will press down the furrow slice, and give
greater efficiency to the action of the harrow,
by obviating the tearing up and dis isplacement
of the sods by the teeth. Harrows of different
degrees of fneness should be used. especially
where fine tilth is desirable, and this il always
the case when grain or small seeds are to be
sowed. Where but one harrow is employed,
much of the strength of the team as well AZ
large portion orthe time and labor expended
in the operation, is unavoidably lost.
