"IIappy girls! who cannot love them
with cheeks like roses, bright eyes and
elastic step, how checrfully they go to
work. Our reputation for It, such girls
will make excellent wivcs. Blessed in
deed will those men be who secure such
prizes. Contrast those who do nothing
but sigh all day, and live to follow the
fashions, who never earn the bread they

languid and lazy from ono weeks end

Give us the working girls, they are worth
their weight in gold. You never SEQ
them mincing along, or jump a dozen
feet to steer clear of a spider or a fly /;
they have no aii'cctation or silly airs
about them. When they meet you, they
speak without putting On a dozen silly

who arc as far above them in intelligence,

are above the earth.
BE wise then, you who have made

DO NOT WASTE WINTER FOOD ON
OLD OR INFERIOR STOCK.
From the American Stock Jour

From the American Stock Journal
Every farmers motto, in regard to
stock, should be :--"Keep the best of
each variety, and take the best care of
it, Every farmer expects, or should
expect, to mako profit en- wintering
stock if be does not, why does he Keep
it If an animal is worth no mere in
the spring thea it was in the fall, there
will have been a great waste of food in
sustaining it through long winter,
In many cases the food, consumed
through winter, would be worth more
money than the animal in the spring
la that case it would be better to have
given the animal away, or to have killed
it and sold the food the labor of taking
care oft might also have been turned to
a better purpose.
This is matter that needs looking
into; for there are thousands of cattle,
wintered every year, that are not worth
any more money in the spring than they
we're in the autumn--many of them not
SO much. Why do such farmers follow
the business They will tell you that
they "dou't know any thing else. =
Very true; and they don't know much
about that They are too self-ccnceit-
ed to read an Agricultural Journal
they don't believe in "book farming"
We'll, "the tree is known by its fruit" A
man who understands farming and has
the energy to execute what he knows,
will make money by it. Here is the
great touchstone to try his knowledge
by, and it is an unerring one.
Farming is the foundation on which
all other branches Of industry is based,
and hen money can be made by any
other branch of industry, money can be
made by farming, if it is intelligently
and theoretically pursued. The profits
will sometimes be greater than others.
So it is with all other branches; but
the intelligent, energetic farmer will al
ways be successful. The old iogy farm
err, who joys along in the well beaten
path Of his ancestors, with prejudice
against reading, Agricultural Works
or adopting any new mode of farming,
or stock raising, cannot compete with
his more intelligent neishbor, who sub
scribcs to, and reads the current ag-
ricuItural literature Of the day, and
profits by so much Of it as may DO adapt
ed to his locality and surrounding cir
cumstances.
A poor farmer cannot conceal the fact
that he is a poor turner. All his sur
roundings proclaim the verdict against
him: His horses, cattle, wagons, har-
ness, pIows, fences, felds-evcn bis
wife and children bear silent, Eut I'M
nistak able evidence against him. On
tho other hand, all these things will
testify favorably on behalf Of good
farmer. Every passer by can read this
evidence pro or con. This fact, alene,
ought to stimulate every farmer to do
his best, for the sake of his own charac-
ter, as well as interest; for he may rest
assured that every passer by will pro-
nounce Judgment according to the evil
dcnce.

sTrRR1NG SOIL AROUND TREES.

The opening or tightening tho soil
around the roots OF Trees, either in the
Spring or fall, for the purpose Of letting
in warmth, and adording freer medium
for the expansion and Development of
the roots, is of great value in promoting
the health and yigor of the tree.
All trees, whether fruit or ornamcn-
tai, young or old, indigenous or exotic,
are vastly benefited by this process
In old orchards, the soil about the
trunks Of the trees, and TO a considera-
BILE distance from them, in every direc-
-tion, should DO carefully broken, and
the upper surface, to the depth of three
or four inches, removed in the Spring,
every four or five years. The eggs Of
the cureulio and other insects. are de-
posted in this stratum, and if not re-
moved or destroyed, will produce in.
sccts, the ravages of which the succeed
ing year will be productive of far great
or loss than expense of removing
the soil and replacing it with compost of
loan. It is an utterly hopeless under
taking to attempt the cultivation of good
fruit, when no measures are resorted to
to obviate the fatal ravagcs of this de-
tcstablc and insdious foe, and the rem
edy now suggestedis by no means ex-
pensive, if we take into consideration
the advantages otherwise resulting to
the trees from its application.
Any good soil, taken from the open
fields, or cultivated lands. may DO used
as substitute for compost, and very
small quantity will suffice. Even if no
fresh matter is applied, would recon-
mend tho removal of the surface soil,
and would replace it when convenient.
Chip manure or old dung covered with
straw, answers wei! fer this purpose

Wanted-AnOther Indian Campaign.

It appears that the winter campaign of
General Sheridan only warmed up the Indian
tribes Now that they have used up the few
presents that followed the usual treaty of
peace they are ready for the field again.
Their ponies and stolen government horses
are growing fat upon the young grass, and
the price of war paint upon the frontier has
sensibly advanced. We are really weaker
than the governments of Mexico, Chile and
the Argentine Republic are in dealing with
Indian troubles. The absolute imbecility of
our government is nowhere more clearly
displayed than in the history of our Indian
affairs for the past ten years. Indian scalps
have cost us scalp for scalp and one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars to boot for each one.
Now there are any number of bold specula-
tors who will take contract to keep the
Indians quiet until the next twenty years
put the beggars out of sight. If the gov
eminent is so entirely unified for the work
let the Indian Department advertise in the
HERALD for an Indian peacemaker.

CLOSE OF THE PHILHARMONIC CONCERTs.-We do
not recolect a musical or dramatic occasion for
years past at the Academy of Music, we refer to
both the old and new buildings on which a more
brilliant and thoroughly fashionable audience was
assembled together to do homage TO the twin Muses.
OF Tnaia and Melpomene. To say simply that the
building was crowded would give very inadequate
idea Of the mass OF people that filed every seat,
aisle, lobby and even the family circle. II was
just acknowledgment OF the public appreciation
OF the efforts made by the Philharmonic
society for true art under the direction OF their
entertaining and energetic president, DIR. Doremus
and their painstaking, conscientious and talented
cher T0TcheStre, Carl Bergman. The programme
was also one Of rare attraction every work being OF
first class nature Gluck's overture to "Iphgeniar
introduction and dnd,e to the sublime poem OF MAN
fred" TO which Schumann has given some master
touches OF orchestraton ana song. and one OF
Beethoven's greatest piano works the concerto Ia
major.
The New York Liederkranz society sang the
choruses of "Manfredn In superb style, although
the voices, $50 In number, were heavily overweiQhted
by the immense orchestra. The most attractive
feature about the poem was the little walls OF
melody, chords and descriptive musical passages,

The Reported Expedition. Against Cuba.

The Reported Expeditions Against Cuba.
Certain Bohemian sheets have lately been
making efforts to prove that gigantic warlike
expeditions have been fitted out from this port
and others of the United States to land troops
and munitions of war upon the island OF Cuba
for the benefit of the rev0lutionists. Much OF
this noise is, in reality, created to cover up
the immense war stores which Spain herself is
constantly shipping to Havana from New York
and other of our cities. Many of our manu-
facturers are to-day busily employed making
improved weapons for the purpose OF killing
those brave Cubans who are struggling for
independence and liberty.
1t is well known fact that the Journals
which are supporting the effort to overthrow
the insurgents are very hard pressed for
funds, and are obliged to resort to species
of mendicity to sustain themselves. They send
their agents into the country districts to solicit
subscriptions, and are thankful for the smallest
favors 1t is very natural, under these cir
cumstances, that Spain, taking advantage of
their poverty and easy honor, should
try to use them as tools-how sue
cessfully the late sensational news is
the best proof 1t is for Spanish interests that
three or four columns of weak newspaper arti-
cles should be used as wadding to every bull
let that leaves our shores for the Cubans. It
is curious fact that some of the journals we
allude to are the representatives of the party
which has heretofore clamored most loudly for
the acquisition of Cuba Their party has
already assisted in launching several fllbus-
tering expeditions against the island. We are
reliably informed that Spanish agent whose
name is known to us is very busily engaged
in scattering Spanish gold among those news
papers which stand sadly in need of inan-
cial propping up, and are willing to receive it
even at the expense of their independence.
Through such journals our government is
forced to take cognizance Of every musket or
ounce of ammunition which may be intended
for defence against Spanish atrocity or bar
barism in her dealings with her colonists. We
are ashamed that we have newspapers among
us so un-American in principle. By siding
with Spain they of course adopt the Spanish
ideas and retrogradism. 1t is a good proof of
how far behind the times some of them may be
and exist. There is, however, one redeeming
feature, they do not receive sufficient support
in the United States and only acquire tran
silent vigor through decrepit Spain.

contributed to swell to an unprecedented figure
the number of families and bridal parties which
have already taken their departure for a sum-
mer tour in Europe. We do not know how
many OF these may be induced to extend their
transatlantic trip to Jerusalem. The Empress
Eugene is soon to leave Paris on her pilgrim
age to the Holy Land, and our correspondent
predicts that bridal trips to Jerusalem are
likely to become fashionable. Meanwhile the
Monday receptions of the Empress, the ball
at the Chinese Embassy, the exhibition of the
fastest novelties" in the drives at the Bots de
Boulogne, the ivy wreath of the ex-Queen of
Spain, the rivalry between the Princess de
Metternich and Nine. Musard as ''queens of
society, and miscellaneous budget of court
gossip, afford abundant material for the let
ter OF our Paris fashions correspondent. 1t
now requires so little time to steam across
the Atlantic that our gay birds of passage
who have lately flown from the Park to-
ward the Bots de Boulogne will reach
Paris before the court and the 6eau-
monde shall have deserted it for Biarritz, or
Trouville, or Etretat, or Baden Baden, or

Financial Policy Of Secretary Boutwell,.
Our telegraphic dispatches indicate finan-
cial movement in the right direction on the
part of our Secretary of the Treasury. In
stead of launching million of gold upon the
market every now and then, to cause specula.
ton and aid in the formation of rings, he has
given orders to the Assistant Secretary, Van
Dyck, in New York, to buy government bonds
to the amount of one million dollars per week
This will assist very largely in approaching
their value. 1t will tend to cause rise in
Europe, while at the same time it will throw a
constant stream of gold upon the market at
regular intervals. This will, therefore, work
to the advantage of the country in two ways
first, steady supply of gold, which must pre-
vent the great fluctuations attendant upon a
spasmodic supply second, constant with
drawal of certain amount of government
paper from the market 1t can, however, only
work advantageously while the government
revenue is in excess of expenditures. If the
Treasury is obliged to borrow the gold to
carry on the operation it will have contrary
effect to that intended, and will only rebound to
the advantage of the brokers who are commits
stoned to make the purchases of the bonds.
