| To grow cabbage successfully,
| good soil and an abundance Of mas
nures are required. The general
impression is that cabbage is an
exhaustive crop, but when com
pared with the amount of food pro-
duced on given quantity Of land,
tits no more exhaustive than q root
crop. As many as so to SO tons Of
cabbage have been grown to the
acre. Crops like this must remove
something from the soil, and the
same may be said of all crops that
are valuable, but the cabbage being
q large-leaved plant, takes up large !
quantities Of ammonia and carbonic
acid from the air. 1t is affirmed |
that the amount of nitrogen in the |
soil is Increased rather than dimin-
ished during the cultivation Of this
crop, even in cases whensno ammo
niacal manHres are employed. 1t |
is not advisable, however, to grow
cabbages for a series of years on
the same plot of land, as the ex.
crementitious matter thrown OF by
the plants becomes, after a time,
anfavorable to the succeeding crop.
Dairymen located within reach
of good markets often make large
profits from growing cabbage. A
considerable proportion of the
large, sound, hard heads, are Sc
lected for sale, while the loose
leaves and soft heads are fed to
COWS in milk. Even the stalks are
made available by being run through /
q root cutter, and when thus fed, 4
are regarded quite equal in nutri-
tive value TO turnips. II
In regard to the nutritive value
Of cabbage compared with turnips,
Lhe following analyses may, per-
haps, be of interest. The compo-

Dr.. Franklin's Toast. t.

Long after the victories of Wash
ington over the French and English
had made his name familiar to all
Europe, DR.. Franklin chanced to
dine with the English and French
Ambassadors, when as nearly as the
precise words can be recollected,
the following toasts were drank:
"England-The Sun, whose
bright beams enlighten and fructi-
fly the remotest corners Of the
earth.'
The French Ambassador, filled
with national pride, and being toe
polite to dispute the previous toast,
drank the following:
"France-The Moon, whose mild
steady and cheering rays are the
delight of all nations, consoling
them in darkness beautiful"
DR.. Franklin then rose, and, with
his usual digni6cd- simplicity, said :
George Washington The Josh
ua who commanded the Sun and
Moon to stand still, and they obey
ed him"

A Good Moral Character.

There is nothing which adds SO
mnch to the beauty and power of
man as good moral character. It
is his wcalth-his infuence-his
life. It dignifies him in every sta
tion, exalts him in every condition,
and glorifes him at every period Of
life. Such q character is more to
be desired than everything else on
Garth. It makes . man free and
Independent. No scrvile tool, no
crouching sycoPhant, no treacberoas
honor-scekcr, ever bore such q
character. The pure joys of truth
and righteousness never spring in
such person. If young men but
knew how much a good character
would dignity and exalt them, how
glorious it would make their pros
poets, even in this life, never should
we find them, yielding to the gro-
yelling and base-horn purposes Of
human nature, which destroy body
and soul.

The success of farmer hangs up
on timely attention to little things.
This. mainly makes the difference
between thrift and poverty. Philos-
ophy Of success is expressed in that

keep accounts Of the pccuniary

able most farmers to know just how
they stand with the world. Yet,
We expe,t half the men who Guilt
vate the soil never make an entry
in . book, and for want of this, the
account runs up fearfully at the
store, and many articles Of luxury
are purchased for which they are
unable to pay at the end Of the
year.

Eternity has no grey hairs. The
flowers fade, the heart withers, man
grows old and dies; but time writes
no wrinkles on eternity.
Eternity! stupendous thought! Tho
ever present, unborn, undecaying
and .undying--the endless chain
composing the life God-the golden
|thrcad entwining the destinies of the
universe. Earth has its beauties,
but time shrouds them from the
grave; its honors are but the sun
shine Of an hour; its palaces, they
are but the gilded sepulchre; its
pleasures, they are bursting bubbles.
Not SO in the untried bourne. In
the dwelling of the Almighty can
come no footsteps Of decay.

A Wife.

Such is the woman who is ft for a

Opium-eating in Maine is becom-
ing 80 common that it attracts
serious public attention. The
Maine liquor law cuts off the use Of
one stimulant, it seems, only to
make general the use of another and
. much worse one. Excessive
drinking every rational mind must
deplore as great public and pri-
vate evil, but to prohibit all men
from drinking because some will
drink too much, is about as wise as
would be interdicting all sea-bathing
because some indiscreet bathers get
drowned. Some of the most inordi-
nate drinkers { in sccret) that we
have known in our lifetime have
been men who. in public, were the
most violent champions Of prohibi-
tion. The most honest and sue

Grants Majority. .

Grants majority is 303, 14s in a
total poll Of S, 395. $50. In Ala
bama, Georgia, Louisiana, North
and South Carolina, his vote was
319, 334. Of this latter sum, prob
ably four-6fths were negroes, and
not one of the blacks was lawful
voter. Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas were not permitted to vote.
Let these facts be considered, in
conjunction with the one that there
was a sweeping disfranchisenent Of
the whites in tho Southern States,
and there can be q proper estimate
made of the impudence of the Jaco.
bin claim that the party in power
is endorsed by the people.
Grant was elected by fraud-fraud
deeper than the casting Of single H.
legitimate votes involves (albeit
that was extensively done, particu-
larly in New York, where 20, 900
radicals claim to have polled As, 900
otes)-fraud wbich strikes at the
heart Of our institutions by clothing
q partizan caucus with power to
overturn States and divide the Un-
ion, after four years war had
been fought to crush the unrighteous
theory; fraud which disregards
constitutional restrictions and gags
tho highest Court in the land to
prevent judges from doing their du-
ty in the premises.
Our people is patient people. and
although the citizens know that q
minority President is to be inaugu-
rated next March-that Horatio
Seymour was q choice Of the major
;.y-they yield at once their pref
erence and their rights, choosing to
suffer outrage rather than sacrifice
peace.
It is to be hoped, however, that
the candidate who said that he
knew no law save the will of the
majority, may SO far respect that
will rs to render bis admins
tration tolerable to the conservative
millions who, by shameless trick aud
open knsvery, were swindled out Of
the election.-Utica Observer.

Our Home Life.

One reason why many young lives
are shipwrecked, and so many
youthful hopes blasted why there is
so much of dishonord and wretched
old age-why there are so many
graves waterd by no tcars-is,
that the home life is made repulsive
by arbitrary restrains by the
seriousness that repels familiarity,
by the solemnity that frowns upon
innocent mirtb, by the religious
austerity that prohibits all amuse-
ments. save it may be the reading
Of the Catechism, and goes into con-
volsions if young people do but
dance. These things drive our youth
away from home-drivc them into
the street, out from under the eve
of parents and guardians-drive
them into improper places, and not
urfrequently to resorts, the steps to
which take hold on hell!-Rev. A.
G. Barry.

is a little thing to put q tool up in
its place when not in use. Yet not
many have a tool house, or place of
shester for any implement or vehicle
Things are left where they were last
used, the plow in the field, tho cart
in the yard, the chains in the sta
bic, the harness in the wood hous c ,
the axe In the wood-pile, and the
rake in the corn-,rib. Many do not
even house the expensive implc-
ments they have bought, and reap
ers and threshers are treated like
plows and harrows. The parts made
of iron and steel grow rusty, and
t he wood decays. A machine that
is good for thirty years with proper
care. is used up in FIVE by abuse.
1t is very little thing in them to
turn . nut where it is loose. Yet
for want Of Tightening the nut i.
lost, the bolt comes out, and the
loaded wagon breaks down on the
way to market, and a whole day
for man and team is lost. It is a
little thing to keep a horse properly
groomed, yet for the want Of clean
fetlocks the skin cracks and the
horse is lame, and the owner loses
the use of him for weeks or months.
Ventilation is small affair, yet for
the want of it the health of stock
in stables suffers severely and dis
ease sets in.
1t is a small affair to provide
good seed at the beginning of the
year; but the whole success of the
season depends upon it. 1t is an
easy thing to deal fairly with your
neighbors, and make q name that is
better than precious ointment.
Many cheat on small occasions, do
not deliver what they sell, and get
a reputation for meanness that
stands in the way of their success.
