AT HoME.-The highest style of be-
ing at home, grows out of special state
of the affections rather than of the in
tellect. Who has not met with individ-
uals whose faces would be passport to
any society, and whose manners, the
spontaneous counterparts of their inner
selves, make them visibly welcome
wherever they go, and attract unbound
ed confidence towards them whatever
they undertake? They are frank, be-
cause their natures overflow with be-
benevolence; unfurried, because they
dread nothing; always at home, be-
cause they carry within themselves that
which can trust itself everywhere and
anywhere-purity of soul with fulness of
health. Such are our best guarantees for
feeling at home in all society to which
duty takes us, and in every occupation
upon which it obliges us to enter They
who live for themselves are also the
least embarrassed by uncertainties.

rolls around, the proprietors annually make their
bow to the people, and remind them that amongs
the many things required for the health, comfort
and sustenance Of the family through the long and
tedious months Of winter Goes Cough Balsam should
not be forgotten. For years 1t has been household
medicine-and mothers anxious for the safety Of
their children and all who suffer from any disease
of the throat chest and lungs cannot afford to be
without it. In addition to the ordinary four ounce

How ONE ORCHARD Is TREATED.-I
know of an orchard, near by me, which
has not failed to produce an average crop
for the past ten years. 1t has been treat
ed as follows: Early each spring it has
been well covered with long manure
About the middle of June it is passed
over lightly with grass pillow. Hogs
are kept in until about the first of Sep
TENDER. Then it is literally dragged
with fine-toothed harrow. The prun-
ing is done mainly in summer by rub
bling off such shoots as are not wanted,
thereby saving the labor of the saw and
the Ratchet. Each year, in June, the
trees are scraped and generously washed
with weak I've from wood ashes. The
worms are promptly destroyed on their
first appearance. The above treatment
is neither expensive nor laborious, but it
will pay.-Raral NeU Yorker.

To BECOME AN EDrToR.-To become
an editor, and, a "good one" you must
read everything, study everything, OBJ
serve everything, experience almost
everything, and be able to endure al
most everything with admirable eouan-
unity. A "good editor" is linpuist
an essayist, poet, dramatist, con-
versationalist, man of the world, a
humorist, a satirist, philosopher, and
"clever fellow" generally! OF course
therefore, a good editor is as rare an
article as the tabled Phoenix. Seriously
speaking, we can point outno one line of
studies for gentleman who proposes to
become an editor of a newspaper. There
is nothing that he can learn that will
come amiss to him, and whatever he NAV
omit to learn, in a long life time, will
leave him just SO far short of excellence
in his profession

The Natural Guardians OF Fruit.


We find the following in the Home
Farm and Orchard. published at New,
burg, N. Y. Judge james of this place
recently sent for three pairs Of the birds
spoken of. One bird died on the way,
but the other FIVE arrived all right, and
were liberated aboutte days ago. They
have taken up their abode about his
premises. If few other gentlemen
would do the same thing, and provide
for them houses and food in the winter,
we whould soon be supplied with protec-
tors against all kinds of fruit and foil
age destroying worms:
when the measuring worm infested
the shade trees of New York, only a few
years since, it was suggested that the i'm
portation of a few pairs Of English Spar
rows would tend to the correction of the
evil, and thp experiment was according
ly made. The Central Park and all the
smaller parks of that city are now SO
well supplied with sparrows that the trees
retain their leafy beauty throughout the
whole season. The birds have increased
rapidly, and in imitation Of the great
human hive, are spreading themselves"
on Long Island, in Westchester, and on
the Jersey shore.
But the sparrow does not " emigrate "
fast enough, nor in sufficient force, to
save the fast declining fruit crops. Like
the half tender fruits and flowers, this
little domestic bird needs some protec-
ton against the severity of our winters,
and this has thus far been found only in
the large towns where people are confined
in small space.
Our object in this article is to reco-
mend to fruit-regions the acquisition Of
the English Sparrow as the most willing
assistant of cultivators in the extermina-
ton of insects injurious to fruit crops.
Bugs, worms and caterpillars, multiply
where fruits are most grown, and in such
places the sparrow would reap his rich
est harvest.-The region of New York
is now so well supplied with the birds
that few hundred at least can be spar
ed every year for dissemination over the
country. Fruit-growers should build
warm, close houses for the sparrow, like
those sometimes erected for the martins,
with entrances small enough to exclude
birds Of prey like the owl, and then pc
tition the New York authorities for few
plants of the English Sparrow.

EARLY RESPONSIBILITY early
responsibility is almost equivalent to
early sobriety. If a stick of timber
standing upright waivers, lay beam on
it, and put weight on that, and see how
stiff the stick becomes. Andif the young

on them and how it straightens them up

Nervous Children.

"Nervous children suffer untold agon'
les from fear when put to bed alone. No
tongue can tell the horrors of lonely
room to such children. A little, delicate
boy, whom his parents were drilliLs to
sleep alone, used to scream violently
every night, and his father would come
and whip him. He mistook the pertin-
acity for obstinacy, and thought it his
duty to conquer the child's will. One
night he said, why do you always
scream so when you know you shall be
punished p 20, father, father = said
the little fellow, 1 don't mind your
whipping me if you'll only stay with me. ;
That fathers eyes were opened from that
moment. He saw that human being
cannot be governed by dead rules, like
plant or an animal"
A little skill and little insight into
the nature of child will prevent griev-
Gus mistakes in managing them. The
sense of loneliness which many young
children feel on going to bed alone, can
be easily prevented by putting the doll
or other favorite plaything on the pillow
or in the hand for company. We knew
one little two-year-old who could be COM
posed to sleep only by having dilapi-
dated book that he was fond of placed
under the pillow. Children who are too
old to feel sense of protection from such
things, are helped to go to sleep quietly
by lively play with the mother at the
time of going to bed, by the little hymn
or prayer, the oft repeated kiss, the pleas
ant story of something to be enjoyed the
next day. Lively, bright, loving thoughts
and associations connected with the hour
and place of going to bed, are the cure
for nervous children. 1t is great mis-
take to ask them if they are afraid, or
tell them there is nothing to be afraid of,
or to suggest the subject of fear in any
way.
