A caution has lately been largely

papers to the effect that cracked dishes,
after being long used for holding gravies
and fat of any kind, become rancid and

or blackened inside. The acid contain

the exposed portions of the vessel, and
forms chemical compound, not unlike
ink. 1t corrodes and darkens the teeth,
and cannot but be offensive to the stom-

Sheep Husbandry a Necessity.

Sheep-husbandry is necessity. There
is no substitute for the animal with the
golden hoofs"-none which can so
cheaply supply the element
ary wants of dense population
France has as many sheep as souls, in
the Empire. England could almost as
safely part with the air breathed by one
fourth of her people, as with her sheep
the meat, wool, hides and manure
they yield; and while we are glad to see
large f1ocks transferred to and establish
ed on the plains of Kansas, Nebraska,
and other sparsely populated States and
Territories of the West, the older States,
where lands have lost their virgin fresh
ness and fertility, can i'll afford to sub
NIT to further reduction. The great
bulk of the best wool grown in the
world is grown by small fiocks, in the
midst of the most densely peopled re-
gions. 1t is so now in the United States,
and so will it continue to be. On the
whole, therefore, we look to the future
of the wooden industry hopefully, and
with abiding conference.-the Reynolds,

Moral Genrs.

Reprocf should never be- given in a
passion. 1t is too much: says an old
writer, to expect that sick patient will
take physic, not only when it is nause-
GUS, but boiling warm.
Live to be useful. Live to give light.
Live to accomplish the end for which
you were made, and quietly and steadily
shine on, trying to do good.
Success rides on every hour; grapple it
and you may win, but without grapple
it will never go with you. Work is the
weapon Of honor, and he who lacks the
weapon will never triumph.
Every ones joys will actually be great
er in proportion as he gets away from
selfishness and becomes like God in his
benevolence-that is, in his love.
A gentleman was one day asked by a
friend how he kept himself from being
involved in quarrels. He answered, ,"By
letting the angry person have all the
quarrel himself"
OF all the passions, Jealousy is that
which eXacts the hardest services, the
bitterest wages. Its service is TO watch
the success Of our enemy; its wages is to
be sure of it.

THE LITTLE SPARROW.
A Papa Lund Story for Little ChiIdre

n Papa Luna story Tor Little Children.
Alittle Sparrow came from afar to find
home and build nest for its mate. Ida
saw it, because it was still early Spring
and patches of snow still remained on
the hill sides, and broken pieces of ice
hoated on the lake. She had looked with
longing eyes for token of coming
Summer and was glad to see the little
humble sparrow on the housetop.
The little sparrow sang plain song,
but Ida thought it sweet, because it was
a lone one. The sparrow found a place
to build its nest, and arduous and dill
gently settO work. Ida watched its daily
labor with wonder and admiration, be-
cause it was skillful and industrious, and
suffered cold and hunger to do its duty.
In progress of time, the nest seemed
completed, and Ida loved the little bir d
and fed itfrom day to day, The little
sparrow loved its nest because it had
cost it much labor and suffering.
But many birds came, birds of pref
tier plumage and sweeter song, and the
little sparrow was almost forgot ten.
And finally the King bird came, and
the following day Ida saw them attack
ing the little sparrow, driving it from its
nest and wounding it severely, so that
it lay bleeding and weeping in the gar
den path. The wicked kingbirds took
possession of the nest. Ida picked up
the sparrow and dressed its wounds, and
nursed and fed it, so that it almost re-
covered. Then she put it into the cage
of the Canary bird. But the Canary
bird was proud and unmercifuI, and
would not receive the little sparrow, be-
cause its plumage was plain and its
song humble. And the canary bird beat
the little stranger, opened anew its
wounds and drop after drop of blood
came frem its faithful little breast. Seven
little drops of blood made up its little
dutiful life then it fell on the bottom of
the cage, raised its little head towards
heaven, sung. the name of its absent
mate "Memi! MemiI" and its little head
bowed and it died. But Ida wept bitter
tears over the faithful little sparrow and
she laid it in o pretty little paper box
and sprinkled pretty flowers over its
body and called her sisters and brothers
to come and help her bnry it. The child
rem had funeral in the garden and
buried it under rose bush. But the
little sparrows mate, "Memi, !" came that
day and found the nest built by her love,
and saw the little dead sparrow in the
box, and she saw the children bury it.
But Ida mourned over the little dead
bird many day, and little "Memi" sat
Oh the rose bush and sang plantive
song.

The Value of Glover Land for a Wheat
Crop.
In the journal of the Royal Agricultu-
raj Society of England for 1863 are re-
ports of experiments to test the peculiar
influence of the red clover top on the
subsequent growth of wheat, upon which
Professor Voelckeer remarks that the
heaviest crops of clover removed from
the soil appears to render it more eapa-
BILE of yielding good crop OF wheat
that the addition of even powerful
saline manures(su phosphate of lime,
mixed alkalies, &c., seems hardly to
improve the subsequent wheat crop
1T is fact" adds the Professor, "that
after heavy crop of clover carried off
as hay, the land, far from being less
fertile than before, is peculiarly well
adapted, even without the addition of
manure, to bear good crop of wheat
the following year, provided the season
be favorable to its groth. = Glover
mown twice leaves the land in better
condition, as regarding its wheat pro-
viding capabilities, than when mown
once only for hay, and second crop fed
off the land by sheep" 1t is supposed
from the results of experiments given
that the land whereon clover has been
grown for seed the preceding year yields
a still better crop than when the crop
is mown twice for hay, or mown once
and afterwards fed off by sheep. The
results of the Professors Investigations
are thus summed up: First-During
the growth of clover large amount of
nitrogenous matter accumulates in the
soil. Second-This accumulation, which
is the greatest in the surface soil, is due
to decaying leaves dropped during the
growth of clover, and to an abundance
of roots containing, when dry, from one
anG three-quarters to two per cent, of
nitrogen. Third-The clover roots are
stronger and more numerous, and more
leaves fall to the ground whereon clover
has been grown for seed the preceding
year, than when the clover is mown
twice for hay, or when mown and OTTER
wards fed off by sheep. In the latter
case the development of clover roots is
checked, and the consequent loss of
fertilization is not sufficiently counter
balanced by the eXcrements of the sheep
on the land. Another deduction is thus
given: "Clover not only provides abun-
dance of nitrogenous food, but delivers
this food in n readily available form (as
nitrates) more.gradually and continuous
ly, and consequently with more certain
ty of a good result than such food can
be applied to the land in a shape of
nitrogenous spring top pdressings. u

Full of the threads Of love,
Poor though the work on earth appears,

Cleaning from day TO day,
Jesus holdeth the toilsome hands
Over the thorny way.
Brows in the harvests grown pale and old
Furrowed with records true,
Earth has no gift like crowns Of gold
Cleaning in Heaven for you;
He who is faithful the way has led,
Cheering the toilsome day,
still will He shelter the careworn head,
Over the thorny way.
Lips that are sealed with an angels sign,
Eyes that forget to weep
These are the tokens when one Divine
Gives His beloved sleep;
Then may the workers be brave and strong,
Singing fr day to day,
Knowing the journey Will not be long

The experiment in England of giving
the control of the telegraph to the gov
ernment, is working well. The govern
ment assumed control of the telegraph
lines in England, on the 5th of Febru-
ary last, and reduced the tariff to uni
form rate OF twenty-five cents for twenty
words, exclusive of the address, through
out the kingdom. The number of dis
patches increased from 127,OC0 per
week to 191 ,443 for the week ending the
4th of June, and 2OO,294 for the week
ending the 18th of J1ne. In Ireland,
under uniform tariff of one shilling,
they are receiving 50 per cent. more
money than the companies before re-
ceived at three shillings and four shil-
lings. The British public will soon be
favored with a uniform tariff of sixpence
throughout the kingdom.

the eastern end, and 1902 feet at the
western end of the tunnel leaving
about two and half miles to be perfor
ated. The west shaft of the tunnel is
3lS feet deep, and the central shaft not
yet down to the line of the works, is
$50 feet deep, with 81 feet yet to be
blasted out. At the west end drills
worked by compressed air are used, and
nitro o-glycerine is employed in blasting.
The aggregate progress is so feet a week,
three gangs of men, working in relays of
eight hours during the twenty-four,
being employed. The length of the
tunnel, when finished, is four and three
