UNAPPREcIATED TALENTS.

A man that hath any truth in him,
important to be given 20 his generation
need not much concern himself as to
where to speak it. With what twad-
die about unappreciated genius are ge
frequently sickened. Young men part
their hair in the middle, roll down
their collars, and go whining among
weak school misses about the coldworld.
And Others dream if they had such and
such a position in such city, such an
editors place; such a pulpit, such the
atrc of display, they would shake the
world. Many young preacher in an
obscure country Parish has this temp
tatfon. Manya young poet who can
not secure apublisher goes into this fog.
But it is all q mistakes. IL Is shrewd
old world with which we have to deal,
and it generally knows tho price OF
things. There is little unappreciateG
Kindness, little worth keeping that the
world allows itself to lose, and no ut
tered sentence worth remembering
has ever been forgotten. Th, world
may appreciate some things too highly
for season but in the long run tie
value ofall things comes to be ascer-
taincd. Go walk gp and come down
in the wilderness and say, and cry your
cry, and just as sure as the truth is in
it, it will. empty the city and fetch
the people'to hear your voice, or else
God who has most special providence of
truth, will set you and your cry down
in the heart of that city, to shake it,
Away with your talk Off ot being ap-
preciated. Whenever q man in any
society talks about his talents being
neglected, we may be sure they deserve
to be neglected. DR.. DEEMS. ''fa.Ht

THE ILL-Lo0KING HORSE.

A Frenchman near the Canada line
in Vermont sold horse to his neigh
Dor which e..recommendcd as being a
very sound. serviceable animal, in s).te
of his gnpreposessing appearance. To
every inquiry of the buyer respecting
the qualities ofthe horse, the FrencIi-
man gave a favorable rsply-but always
commenced his cnmmendation with the
depreciatory remark. to s.
= "Iie's not look very good"
The Yankee caring little for the
looks of the horse, of which he could
judge for himself without the sellers
assistance, and being fully pursuaded,
after minute inspection, that the beast
was worth the moderate sum asked for
him, mace tle purchase and took him
home. a few days afterwards he re-
turned to the seller, in high duJgeon,
and declared he had been cheated in
the quality of the horse.

MAKING SOIL,

We make soil when we ditch it. Be-
fore, it was wet and unreclaimed, fit
only for water-grassesr7and in Wany
eases not even those, Now it Is laad
You look upon it, and you think it al
most miracle; and, indeed, miracle
it is in farming, such as we want to see
more of. This is the farmers praise
that he has reclaimed useless soil. 1t is
better than to make new soil, as is done
in sandy districts accessible to good
markets. 1t relieves your lands OF y
cess-pool where il is 3w4Wpy, and re7
moves a danger to cattle. Aileye-sore
is also removed, aud you can Ysw GO
about your farm. 1t is dry; it iis Land;
it is healthy. 1t will last. But this
only when you make your ditch well, it
covered; if open, you need but keep 1t
clear. But cover, that is the beauty and
the benefit of the thing. lf9ll our land
was underlaid with numerous ditches-.
laid dcep--what world 1t would be-
what an increase of arabic land--and
what a wonderful increase of its pro.
ductiYeness. --RurdI World.

WHAT YOU MAY AND MAY NOT CALI A
' MAN.


There Is more or less of the animal a.
bout man; that no BODY will deny. Pla-
to's definition of man was: IAN ami
NAL without feathers, walking on two
legs" This was too much for Diogenes,
who canght an old rooster, plucked it,,
took it into school, and scornfully asked
''if that was Plqto's m}n?' We don't
know how Plato got out of it. and don't
care. as this has but little to do with the
matter in hand. Though an animal a
man does not like TO be called beast,
yet there are many known as 'bulls'
and sbears' and accept these appella-
tions as rightfully bestowed and proper
ly belonging to them, though indivld-
uaily, in another sense, they would OBJ
ject to icing called bears. There are
many who would like to be known as
'lions,' and eyen tiger WOULD be eonsid-
cred more complimentary than calG-
Many young fellow would like to be
regarded as a buck and you may call
a man dear fellow don't think ofcali-
ing him mouse. 10 be calldd sduck
of L man would please many an indiv-
idual who would take it 20 heart If call
ed him a goose, independent of the mis-
nomer. Call a man puppy and he'll
resent it; but call him sly dog, and
you'll rather pie ise him. Don't call a
man hog, even if he is bore, nor an
elephant II he happens to be 'heavy
weight but you may call him .fox'or
a COON with impunity, A man doesn't
like to be called shark, but you may
call HIM queer fish, without offense.
Never call a eross-eycd man lynx-cyed
i-he II think you are sarcastic Call
a man jaekass, aud he'll talk baek;'
but you may call him an 'ola rat and
tits ten to ope he'll ask you to stake
suthip,' A man who wouldn't feel
comp,imented at being called cormo-
rant, would smile at being called a
might OWL Don't offend by calling q
man a gOsling, but you may call him a
gay rooster without oflense. Don't
call man fool; call hrm a clever fell
low, which amounts to the same thing,
but sounds prettier. A man would be
well pleased to know that you said he
was Keen as razor, yet would object
to being called sharper
To call man stone would be con-
sidered rejecting OH his intellectual
powers; but you may call him 'brick'
to his great satisfaction.

THE MORE LIME THE MORE MANURE,

The old saying that Slime makes =
rich father and q poor SON." conveys,
we think, serious. errer, though the
idea Il. is based upon is correct One.-
That is, that lime, while It makes the
soil more productive in crops at first,
will finalIy leave it barren if its use be-
continued; that it will force the ground,
an to sneak. TO its utmost power OF pro-
dnctioil. and finally leave 1t powerless
~-exlausted of the elements Of plant
food. This might be, in Q great me;ls-
ure- the case, IL we assume that every
thing made upon the farm was carried
off from it, as is only possible underyery
bad Infringement.
Rut lei L be remembered that IN any
nroper use of lime, the first effect Is 2
great increase in grass crops, flliing the
Ground with masses of roots, eetilnateq
sometimes to be equal to the whole crop
above ground. This alone makes 2
heavy manuring, and is SO much added
TO the lime dressings, and yielding, OF
decay, all the elements which planes
need to teed upon,
But then with grass comes grain, iurn;

Phis accounts for the answer OF an ex,
tensive and observant Chester county
farmer to the question whether, aiter
the application of lime tor SO long pe7
riod of years, there had been any symp7
toms of decline in the production OF the
land or diminution ofthe benent derived
from itp His answer was decidedly iP
the negative. for, he said, "those VINO
have lined the most haye been pretty
sure to q manure the most" Those VINO

THE ROCKS OF CALVARY.

turned in anazement to his fellow
travellers, and said, 81 have long been

that the rents aud clefts in this rock

~ have observed to have been done in
other rocks when separated or broken

me it must always be SO. BUTT is quite
otherwise here; for the rocks are split

EARLY TOMATOES.

For number Of years past, have
been laboring to secure tomatoes in my
own garden little in advance of my
neighbors, and am inclined to think that
my efforts have not proved unavailing:
As some readers may be possessed OF a
similar desire to have early supplies of
this delicious and wholeson.e Yegetahle,
Twin give hiy method.
l commence operations by watching
closely the first ripening of the fruit;
and as soon as real good and very ear
ly specimen was fully ripened l cap
tured it, and much to the disgust of my
vile, who has passion for early tona-
toes, set it aside for seed. The same
plan was adopted for several years ip
succession, and the result has been the
full accomplishment of my desires. L
think my tomatoes are as fine and as
early as the earliest of those advertised
by seedmen.

hundred dollars, Ito replace the money

ExTRAYAGANeE IN MEN.

There are lots of young men with
whom the spending ofmoney is posi-
tive disease. They constantly demon
strate the truth of the familiar proverb.
There is a'sort offatal profusion in their
habits. Women are accused very un-
fairly of being over extravagant. AS q
rule men arc far more so, and the ac-
count against them is principly due to
those who tritt6f away everything they
gain or sell in nuniberless and nameless
tribes, A woman has a natural title to
be well clad so as to make the most of
her appearance. She has a sense for
jewelfy. To deny her ornaments is to
stiiie genuine and reasonable instinct.
But man who parts with considera-
