Manual Labor.

The Philadelphia Ledger, in dis
cusslng about the disposition to shun
labor and to flock to the cities, says:
The degradation Of the laboring
classes in Europe comes not from the
nature of their toll, but from the alb.
sence of all other elements from
their daily life. Man has various
nature, requiring variety of accu-
Iation, and his intellect, heart, imag
nation and taste are grievously
wronged when his life is devoted to
the one pursuit of earning a subsis,
tence. But in this country, none are
thus debarred from cultivating every
part OF their nature. All are within
reach of fair share of outward
good. The demand tor labor is urio
interrupted, and the openings for en-
terprlse are far more numerous in
branches of manual industry than
in any other. Material wants rouse
he world to activity. Labor shows
forth its true dignity when thought
is united with it when the mind keeps
pace with the hand. When the far
mer utilizes the principles of chemis
try, and the mechanic studies the
laws OF matter and of motion. and
both cultivate the perceptions OF
beauty and taste, the best specimens
Of human nature will be developed
The inu oduction of drawing int
mechanical pursuits cannot be toe

Lime as a Preserver.

Air Stacked lime has been frequen-
tly recommended as a preserver for
vegetables when stored in cellars or
pits. Recently we heard gentle,

of sprinkling it among his apples in
barrels and bins, and he thought del
icate tall varieties could thus be kept
much beyond their season. The lime
dust could be easily removed from
the apples by using a cloth or brush.
and IL impaired no flavor to the fruit.
The use of lime in the cellar, as a
preservative agent, is good idea.--
Ii acts by absorbing moisture, and If
one individual in the mass decays.
the lime arrests the spread of the
disease to others. 1t is well TO hint
TO our readers that cellars should be
overhauled at this season, and all
decaying matter removed; the
sweating" stage with stored vege-
tables Is over, and specimens most
prone to rot have developed disease.
Sort them out, sprinkle some lime on
the remainder, and purify your eel,

HYDRoPHoBiA "A rem edy for his

used with great success tor fifty years

drops of sulphuric acid must then be
poured into the place, and the action
of the poison, it is asserted, will be
neutralized. The principle of the

Outstanding Your Strength.


If you have never tried it, you
would be surprised at finding how
much nervous vitality and strength
can be hnsbandsd BY debating your
thoughts instead OF writing them out
yourself; after little practice one
can accomplish twice as much with u
rapid amanuensis, as though be per-
formed the mechanical W ork of writ
ing himself. Moreover he will at tho
end of his task feel far less weary !.
My nerves becoming shattered in
the summer, from over work, | re-
%orted to this plan and have found II
most capital one. can, now that
| DO not use the pen myself, throw
off twice as much matter for publ
cation, and at the same time be free
from WEAKNESS at the close Of the
days labors. 1 would recommend
this plan TO journalists, ministers
and others engaged in intellectual
pursuits, who have become weary
and feel worn out through much la
Dor and lack of exercises. Parton,
the historian, and Charles A. Dana
both follow it closely, and they
could not be prevailed upon to aban,
don it. For years Mr. Parton has
employed an amanuensis. Having
decided upon subject or text, he
reads upon it, arranges the plan OF
treatment, and then, having stretch,
ed himself upon a lounge or in an
easy chair, he dictates very rapidly.
And what is somewhat remarkable.
a former amanuensis of his informs
me that he rarely had to erase or in
terline. The thoughts generally
went to the printer, as they fell red
hot" from bis brain. Mr.. Dana is
likewise a very rapid thinker and
dictates much faster than ordinary
writer's can take his thoughts down.
