Destruction of Stumps.

We have always objected TO the
use of machinery of any sort to take
mp large stumps in ordinary arabic
land, that would take up inevitably
a Large quantity of earth with each,
and leave u hole almost as objection
able as the stumps and moreover,
that after the stumps were out there
was trouble in diSpOsing of them.
The following suggestion which
we take from n ne: ghbor, the Week
iy Leader, may be quite practicable,
while they are not liable to the same
objections. They are Mt least wor-
thy Of trial:
{" We have heard of two methods
of getting lid of stumps, which, as
they apprenticeship and inexpensive,
we hope some readtr will try and re.
port upon: Bore with two inch au
CUR to the heart of the stump; fill the
cavity thus made with sulphuriC
acid, or with crude oil of petroleum
In the first case, the acid becomes
the destructive agent within a few

stump becomes saturated with the
oil it Is fired, and will burn out t.

Diable Yuatre has taken up the sub
iect of female extravagancean and treats
it so OPPORTUNITY and vigorously that
four editions of the periodical. 1T
seeitis, were sold in one day. Here
are a few OF its remarks:
Luxury, no longer finding sutfi-
cient supply to direct, and honest
sources for its insane requirements,
has resorted to adultery. AS the
husbands purse no longer suffices,
the wife has drawn OH other mems
purses, selling herself (her last re-
source after all others have been
exhausted) to get the means of re-
naming brilliant in society, where
few women now live without some
stain epon them. Luxury by adul-
terry; adultery by luxury Leaning
each on the other, they have grown
up, mining with all their strength
everything which was respectable
and respected, disintegrating fami-
lies, by introducing into them bick-
erings, with straits and with stralten-
ed circumstances, and hatred ct

time since mathematical philosophy

ury, and demonstratedthe imminence
of the progress of the plague. Ma

budget of young married people who
set up a house with an income o.
$4,000 or $4,000 a year, and it in

The Husband of the Future.

The following is from the Charles
ton Courier
The model husband walks out with
his wife on a week day, and is not
afraid of a milliner's shop. He even
has change" when asked for 1t,
and never alludes to it aiterward.
He is not above carrying large
bundle or a cotton umbrella, or even
holding the baby in his lap in an ON
nibus. He runs on first to knock at
the door when it is raining. He gets
outside if the cab is full. He goes
to bed first ri cold weather. He
gets up IN the night to rock the
cradle Or answer the door-bell. He
believes in Mysteries, and is melted
instantly by tear. He patches up
quarrel with a velvet gown, and
drives away the sulks with trip to
Central Park. He never flies out
about his buttons, nor brings home
friends to supper. His clothes never
smell of tobacco. He respects the
curtains, and never smokes in the
house. He never mvades the hitch
en-, and would no more think Of
blowing up" any of the servants
than of ordering the dinner. He is
innocent of latch key. He let's the
family go out of town once every
year, while he remains at home with
one knife and fork, sits on a brown
Holland chair, sleeps on a curtain
less bed, and has d char-woman t.
wait on him. He is very easy and
affectionate, keeping the wedding
anniversary regularly.

Bee Keeping.

swarmsof honey makers, and he gives
The following suggestions as to where
they should be kept and how man,

" First, on dry soil, and, if conve-
hient, in some quiet spot away from
the busy routine of the domestic cir
Gle. 1t should be shaded by trees to
relieve the little occupants from the

talem from too much exposure to

that was ever used is the shade of a
tree and a good hive. The hive
should always face the south east if

recommend the planting of trees,
where you are not already favored
with them, and setting one or two
hives under eacli'tree, always avoid

Give Your Child a Paper.

a child beginning to read becomes
delighted with newspaper, because
he reads of names and things which
are familiar, and lie will progress ac-
cordingly. 4 newspapers ir one
year is worth quarters schooling
to child. Every father must con-
slider that information is connected
with advancement. The mother of
family, being one of its heads, and
having Il more immediate charge of
children should herself be instructed.
A nind occupied BECOMES fortified
against the ills OF life, and is braced
for emergency. Children amused by
reading or study are of course more

A French Story

In 176O a gentleman was passing,
late at night, over Point Neut, Paris,
with a lantern. A man came up to
him and said. Read this paper"
lie held his lantern and read as fol-
lows:
Speak not a word when this you read.
Or in an instant you II be dead!
Give up your money, watch and rings,
With other valuable things
Then Quick. in silence, you depart,
0rl with knife will ceave your heart.
Not being a man of much pluck,
the affrighted gentleman gave up his
watch and money and ran off. He
soon gave the alarm, and the high
wayman was arrested.
FWhat have you to say for your
self T. asked the magistrate before
whom the robber was arraignef..
That l am not guilty of robbery,

gistrate.

read nor write. Ipicked DIP that IA.

gentleman. Thinking it might be
something valuable, politely asked
him to read it to me-. He complied
with my request, and pre- sently
handed me his watch and money and
ran. | supposed the paper to be Of
great value to him, and he had thus
liberally rewarded me for finding it
He gave me no time to thank him

to perform
The gentleman accepted the plea
of the rObber and withdrew his com

To Raise Blackberries.

A writer in the Practical Farmer
says:
" To insure good crops requires
close attention; the canes should be
kept thin and well headed back and
on poor land an occasional dressing
of manure, muck or fertilizers of some
kind, adds to the quantity ard quail
ity of the fruit. There is no likeli-
hood of the market being overstock-
ell with the fruit, as it pays we'll to
make it into wine. Three quarts of
blackberries and three pounds of SUI
gar, with TIE addition of a little wa,
ter, will make gallon of wine high
~ recommended for its medicinal
properties, worth 81 per gallon while
new; and its value increases with
age. All the poor berries, those that
are too ripe to ship to market, may
BE properly converted into wine at
home and only the finest and most
perfect fruit sent to market, which
will always command a fair price"

VA very curious book will short

contain an authenic account of the
relations of Prince Napoleon with
his couisia5 the present Emperor,
daffng the four years succeeding the
overthrow of Louis Philippe. The
editor of the Independence Beige,
one of the martyrs Of the coup d etat,
has written the book, which will con-
tain number of very curious dis
closures. Thus, for instance, it will
prove By naMber of sworn state
ments that Prince Napoleon, as a
member of the National Assembly,
moved, on the I'd of December, at
one of the ertempOrc meetings of a
certain number of representatives,
that Louis Napoleon be declared an
outlaw, and in speech in which he
advocated the adoption of his mo-
ton he denounced tratorious Presi
dent of the French Republic in I'M
measured terms, and limited very
plainly that Louis Napoleon had no
Napoleonic blood in his veins.

TORY.-This term is variously de-
scribed by authors. 1t is SAID to be
derived from an Irish word, signify
ing "a savage" or, rather, a collec-
tor of tithcs and taxes, which, in the
Irish vocabulary, is- equivalent to
the Jewish name Of Publican, and no
ottter than u thief. Some tell us
that the names Of Cavalier and
Roundhead were changed into Wing
and Tory. Hhe tories held ont for
the divine right and prcrogatives
of kings, while the Wings advocated
civil liberty and popular rights. The
terms are defined by extreme poIiti
cans, as of the two parties of the
English 3riatocracy-the Wings, who
would cnr5'thepowrr of the crown,
and the Tories, who would curb the
power of tie people. The terms
were adopted as party names and
