The Trials Of Love-maLing In n Theatre.
A few evenings since, many OF the audi
ence of q fashioable theatre had their atten-
tlon attracted to "a young lady and gentle
man occupying secluded nook in the dress
circle. They did not appear to be there so
much to enjoy the play as to be near each
other. 1t took no stretch of the imagina-
tlon to view them as lovers. There was q
tenderness in look and action, gentleness
of mien, a caressing fondness visible in the
hidden pressure of the hand, which said, as
plainly as words could say, that Cupid was
again busy with his pranks. For them. the
world was all couleur de rose, the cup of
their happiness was full to the brim, and
the moments flew by them golden footed and
rosy with promises rich in bright pros
pective. It is scarcely necessary to say
cident wouldn't bear telling if she wasn't.
The old saying that "fne feathers made
fine birds" derived no significance from
her. Nevertheless, the lady was richly clad.
and the costly robe was secured at the
waist with belt, fastened with golden
buckle.
The play had night scene in it, and all
at once the theatre was darkened, and
dense gloom settled on the nook the lovers
occupied. The thrilling interest of the
scene attracted every eye to the stage.
Truly, they we're alone in crowd. It was
.propitious moment. Lovingly the arm
OF the youth stole around the fair form. so
delicate in outline, so willowy and inviting;
no wonder an electric thrill burnt along the
veins of the encircling member, and made
the arm cling more -passionately. But
suddenly the lights blazed up, and with a
quick jerk the youth sought to remove his
arm; but, as fate would have it, the tongue
Of the buckle caught in the cuff of his coat
1t held him like O hook lt< ~
Mercy! remove your arm," whispered
the lady. frantically.
81 can't!' and the youth tugged again at
the obdurate buckle.
''Oh, take it away! do. I beseech your
I'm trying, don't you see?" and again
he essayed to release the sleeve his struggles
only made fast
BY this time, the suppressed whispering
had attracted the notice of the pepole
around them. One, more observing than
the rest, perceived the cause of the embar
rassment, but not aware of the reason why
the tender caress was persevered in, reached
over the back of his chair with the admoni-
ton, II say, 'youngster, wait till you get
home; you're making fool Of yourself )"
Maddened by his own Intellectual efforts,
and the .lady's overwhelming distress, the
youth made one supreme effort at release;
and jerking the lady half way round, the
treacherous buckle quits its hold. just as
the voice of the rebnking stranger advised
him that if he'd only wait till tho curtain
tell, he should have the whole corner.

How A CHAPLAIN CANE TO
SwEAR..-I have a friend who was
4 paymaster in the army daring
the late unpleasantness." He is
accustomed to pay great respect to
clergymen, and nothing could in
duce him to say or to do anything
offensive in the presence OF the
Z" CLOTH" Presuming, also, that
he never swears unless he is very
angry, / will tell you a little cir
cumstance that once befell him.
He was paying the --th regi.
ment Illinois infantry. near Muir.
freesboro', Tenn, in 1868, and was
greatly annoyed and interrupted
BY a half drunken officer of the
regiment. His patience gave ont,
and beswore considerably. When
the chaplain was called for pay, a
hard-looking, long. bearded man,
who had been lounging about the
tent, and who my friend bad mis-
taken for the cook, came forward
and announced himself 90 the
chaplain.
After paying him, my friend
took him aside aud commenced
apologizing for swearing in his
presence, when he was interrupted
by the chaplain, saying e.
"Major, no apology 10 necessa-
ry. That did scoundref is enough
to make anybody swear. He has
made me swear every day since
Pve been with the regiment"

fntnib Culture.

AS but few persons among us
have experiences In the culture of
this root, or are apprised of its
vast intrinsic value, and as the
season is near at hand when it
should have attention, we deem it
not inappropriate to throw out a
few brief suggestions, founded mp
on our personal experience and in
sestigations. in regard to II. s'a =
TIE soil for tnrhips should be
such rs will grow good corn. 1t
should be rich aud dry, and, with
these qualifications, the more sand
the better. Clay, or wet soils, are
least adapted to its growth.
Preparation. We wouId re-
commend the deepest and most
thorough pulverization Of the soil
that the means at command will
admit of SOW In drills two and
a half feet apart, according to rich.
ness of the soil and the variety to
be sown. If manure is needed, a
deep furrow should be opened and
the manure bedded on, and the
ridge reduced by knocking it off
with board, or by passing rol-
Ter over it. If to be had conve-
niently, I would recommend the
using of drill.barrow, which &C.
complislIes with dispatch--at one
time passing over the ground
opening a furrow, dropping and
covering the seed and rolling it
smooth, pressing the earth close
around the seed, and thereby ia.
cilitating their termination. There
should be but a slight elevation or
ridge, when the sowing is finished ;
they should be reduced to a stand
at two workings, in a manner sim.
liar to cotton. The lightcst cult
walton that will accomplish this
and leave the ground we'll cleaned,
is best. As to the distance to be
given in the drill, it must be gov
erned by the kind cultivated, as
they vary In size from one to
twenty pounds in weight, and oc.
casionally much larger. In this
climate, the different varieties may
be sowed to advantage from the
last of July till October; as also
some kinds in early Spring. We
would recommend for table nse,
the Yellow Aberdeen, the Small
Purple Flat Dutch, and the Yel-
low Ruta Baga; the latter is high
iy recommended for stock also. In
addition, the best acclimatei tur-
nip in your neighborhood. By
best, l mean that which has size
and flavor to commend it, and
which grows we'll in the ground,
and keeps well till late in the Win
ter; yet has not stringy, tough
tap roots. With good ground, or
thin land, judiciously manured, a
crop of from 500 to 1000 bushels
may be safely counted on per acre,
and. it's value estimated at from
oDe-fourt. to one-half as much as
the same amount of C rn, if fed
to cattle along with their dry food
in winter. The prevailing idea
that they are an exhausting crop
to the soil, is erroheons as It is a
plant that draws largely upon the
atmosphere for its growth and de.
velopEent and not until it begins
to 30 to seed does it work All inju-
ry to the soil.

The following story is related Id
date:
An exciting and dangerous et,.
Counter with snake took place iu
Canterbury, N. H., q few days ago.
Nellie Dodge, aged about six years.
a daughter Of Mr.. James DODGE
a substantial farmer in Canterbury.
accompanied by another little eirI
ABOUT the same age as herself:
went ont into a field near Mr.,
Dodges houss in the afternoon to
gather strawberries: )
They had wandered bit Il abort
distance, when Nellis aceidentaliv
trod upon soihethiHg in the deer,
grass, and Instantly d large black
snake sprang up at her, and ims
,nediately comritenced to wind
itself around her legs. Enraped
in having been trodden ttpoE. tbs
snake lifttd its head and showed
Its anger by it's protruding tongue
and flashing eyes. The child thus
In danger, was nearly overcome
with fright but her companion,
with a presence of mind seldom
exhibited by one of her age, quick.
~ found two sticks, and giving one
to Nellie; they both commenced
an attack upon the reptile.
Again enraged, the snake en-.
dcavored to wind himself closer
and higher upon the body of the
child; and succeeded in biting her
three times severely before he was
driven away. The child was as.
sisted home by her companion, and
is now under the care of a physi-
clan. One Of her limbs is badly
swollen and inflamed, but she viii
probably recover. From the ie.
seription given of the snake by
the children, there is no doubt but
that it Was Of the variety of the
blacksnake popularly know as the
"hacer." This kind grows to the
length Of aoyen and sometimes
eight feet, has white ring around
it's neck, and, when running, car
r'es its bead erect from six to eight
inches above the ground.
The children spoke particularly y
OF the "white string tied around
l's neck" meaning its ring. They
spoke of it as being what to them
seemed fabulous size, and said
that when it ran off, it kept its
head up in the air and looked back
at them. The bite of the snake ia
not venomous, but is injurious.

latter dart of February, Mr.. Tail
by purchased two potatoes for fifty
dollars each. These were cut in
pieces, each with an eye, and ex-
posed day or two to dry, and
then put in boxes of earth and
placed under the glass. One ofthe
potatoes had ten eyes, the other
thirteen, but two Of these were bad, g.,

In abont three weeks the sprouts
were two inches high, when they
were cut off and placed in small
pots, and rooted, and in two weeks
more these spronts were cut in the
same manner, and another crop
secured from the original stock {;
and this practice has been pursued
until MIR. Tailby has grown three
thousand plants from those two po-
