Early Peas.

Get a few papers of the very earliest
kind-say extra Eearly May. Select the
warmest day in February or March you
can spade up as much ground, in shell
tered spot, as you desire to plant-say a
sonth-side fence row or wall-plant your
peas thick, three inches deep; cover with
warm, dry leaf mould, or chip manure
and on each side of the row lay corn
stalks, piling them up a foot on each
side so they. will not fall over on the
row. Scatter straw lightly over the row
so as not to fully exclude the sunlight.
If very rough weather sets in, (which
viii be the ease, iii all probability, )cover
over the rows with plank or boards un-
til the rough weather is over. Remove
when the sun shines warmly. In this
way YOU can have few 'messes" a
month or fa0re in advance of those
planted at.tile usual time. rhe pea is
quite hardy, as have had them cover
ed with snow when two inches high

THE power of money is, on the whole,
over-estimated. The greatest things
which have been done, for the world
have not been accomplished by rich
men, or by subscription lists, but by
men generallyof small pecuniary means.
Christianity was propagated over half
the world by men of the poorest class;
and the greatest thinkers, discoverers,
inventors, and artists have been menof
moderate wealth, many of them little
raised above the condition of manual la
borers in pointof worldly circumstances.
And twill always be So. Riches are
,oftener an impediment than stimulus
to actioni and in many cases they are
quite as much a misfortune as bless
ing. The youth who inherits wealth, is
apt to- have life made too easy for him,
and he soon grows seated with it, be-
cause he has nothing left to desire.

EXcLUsIvEof of the two Atlantic cable
companies, not less than ten submarine

Iworaed, % Earnsa u.

a few weeks ago, 9 gentleman living
in an Eastern town was called out OF
his.bed one morning by several vigorous
raps upon his 'front.' door. Hastily dress
ing himself, he responded to the call,
and found standing upon the step an
uncouth, roughly clad boy, with an axe
on his shoulder, who, hastily thrusting
his hand into his pantaloons-p pocket,
drew out small roll, and handing it to
to Judge II -, said:
"Thereis seventy-iive dollars, which
want you to put in the savings-bank," I"
and hastily turned on his heel and start
ed away.
The Judge, slightly disconnected at
the curious proceeding, scarcely knew
what 10 say, till at length recovering
his wits, he cried ont after the boy:
= stop. comeback here. How did you
come by this money!"
81 WORKED, ND EARNED IT, sir. My
time was out last night, and 1 got my
money, I've got job chOpping, whicb
l begin this morning, and / thought I'd
leave the money with you as L went to
my work, and then it wouldn't take up
my time this evening when l want TO
study.
"What is your name, my boy ?" asked
the JuuBe.
II wrote it on the paper that [ wrap
ed the money up in, shouted the little
wood-chopper as he passed on to his
work.
That boys note for q thousand dollars
due ten years hence would he as good as
gold. If he has his health, he viii be
worth double that then.
He is beginning in the right way. The
very day his time was out for the sum-
mer. he entered upon another jCb, and
Immediately placed the money that he
had worked for where that would work
for him; and with an economy of time
which is more TO be praised than his
wise forethought with.regard TO money,
he could not endure to have a moment
devoted TO anything but his books when
the long evenings came.
Five years from to-day, with good
education, with good habits, with few
hundred dollars, which he has earned
by work, his chances for a place in the
business and political world will be far
greater than those az the spenthrift boy
who, born to fortune, begins without
knowing the worth Of money, and in
stead of going up, goes dow n.

The following, from Pere Hyaeinthe's
address in New York, as translated into
English, is at once noble in sentiment,
grand in style, and flattering to Protest
ant America. He says:
THE great object in view is the recon
ciliation of heaven and earth, and of the
present life with the future; and to
secure union on earth, union in the city,
in the nation, and in humanity, was
the thought of Jesus Christ, who first
proclaimed that which the prophets but
dimly saw, and the Jews never did see.
The centuries that will realize this great
union of nations have begun. The
labor has commenced. Steam and cleo
tricity remove all obstacles. Aggassiz
saws the American continent was the
first created; it will be the last in the
fulfillment of .he designs of the Creator.
A cosmopolitan in the intention of its
defenders, God has in store foryou who
people it the accomplishment ofadmira-
BILE results Northward are the Esqui-
maux; southwark is Africa. You sum-
mon from walled China the unmoving
people, to dwell amid the moving ma
ton, the stationary to mingle with the
progressive, all -impelled by the breath
of you, the, great Humanitarian people.
[Great applause The foundation OF
your people is the Bible, the book thai
speaks of God, the living word of Jesus
Christ. In the admirable manifesto o.
your President, SIhere shines through
his words the Christian faith. A belle
in Jesus is at the back of the nation,
MAY Jesus Christ protect your country
and develop it. When l return, shall
tell Europe that l have found here lib,
erty associated with Christianity, and
have been among a people who do not
think thatto be free they must be parted
from God. [Great applause

Cultivation os ths Tomato.

The following letter was written to
the Farmers Club lately by ]. Payne,
OF Little Falls, n. j.:
at is now seasonable TO speak of the
culture of this delicately acid, cooling,
healthful, and much-valued fruit,
whose hygienic qualities have been
well tested in the human system, that
most project of laboratories. Other
fruits ofthe garden have been long in
reaching their present perfection;
whereas the tomato has been com
paratively short time under culture
My experience has satisfied ne that it
is most susceptible of Improvement
Then why grow coarse, unsightly,
spongy, ill-flavored tomatoes, when, 10y
attending TO few simple but import
ant things, the finest qualities may be
had? Seed from fruit which ripens
earliest will produce the earliest next
season; and, If properly grown, and
from the best variety, will give the
desirable qualities of eurliness, produc-
tiveness, size, solidity, fewness Of seeds,
beauty of form, thinness OF skin delica-
cy Of flavor, and richness of color. For
terminating seeds in little box, all
that is wanted is a few inches of rather
light, rich soil; the box in the sunshine
in p warm, well ventilated room; the
! box covered with glass, to C unteract
the dryness OF the atmosphere; and
plants once growing must receive no
check from want of care. A few plants
well grown will be worth far more than
| any number, of those crowded to
suffocation in dealers hot-beds. In the
neigh hborhood of New York the seeds
may be terminated lin the little box)
about the middle of FEBRUARY, or begin
ming of March. Frequent transplant
/ ing IS very desirable. Begin to do so
twhen the plants are two or three inches
! high. Let them not be put in the open
! ground till all danger sof frost is past,
unless they are protected. In trans
! planting let the soil be watered,
so that 3 bali of earth may go with each
plant, thus preventing the growth OF
the plant from being checked. A uni
form warm temperature is desirable;
but the plants must not be kept so hot
as to grow sickly. They need all the
! light they can get, and as much fresh
lair rs they can stand. Let them have
| a light, rater than heavy, and q rich,
but not oVer-rich soil; and if on the
southeastern exposure of hillside, all
the better. They should not stand less
that four feet apart. Keep the soil
friable, let no weeds grow, hoe early
and often. For late crop, sow in
spring. The plants in place will giow
till'frost comes, and longer if protected.
Cut out suckers; shor en- the vines
and nutrition will how to fruit instead
Of making fiber; nor will there be loss o.
fruit, for most of it grows near the
ground, and vines thus pruned will
produce larger fruit. The advantages
of pruning have indeed been questioned
but my tomatoes grow best when well
! pruned.

MORAL LBEAUTY.-Whati is the beauty
of nature but beauty clothed with
moral associations? What is the high
est beauty of literature, poetry, fiction,
and the fine arts, but a moral beauty
which genius has bodied forth for the
admiration of the world?} And what
are those qualities of the human char
acter which are treasured up in the
memory and heart of nations-the OBJ
iects of universal reverence and eXulta-
ton, the themes of celebration, of elo-
quence, and the festaI of song, the
enshrined idols ofhuman admiration and
love? Are they not patriotism, heroism,
philanthropy, disinterestedness, magma
nimity, martyrdom?

"a FRIEND IN, NEED.p' ETU-In the
flush time of ,Vicksburg, when the
phrase "hard case" meant something
more than it does now, Harvey jenkins
was admittedly one of the hardest. By
some strange accident Harvey found
himself at church one evening. The
sermon being over, the preacher request
ed all who were friendly to religion to
rise and hold up their right hand. The
wholcaudiepce apparently were on theiI
feet. After they were seated. the min.
lister continued Now, if there is a
single one here who desires to see Satan
and hiskingdom prosper he will rise and
hold up his right hand.n Harvey, with
some difficulty, got to an erect position
and said: 'Had the vote been less
unanimeds I should have retained my
seat; butt make it a point tof honor never
to abandon friend ander r5adverse cir,
cumstances."

THE, WAGES OF LABoR.-Before the
the discovery of America, money was
SO scarce that the price of days work
was fixed by act Of the English Parlia-
ment in 1851 at one penny per day; and
in 1914 the allowance of the chaplain to
the Scotch bishops (then in prison in
England) was three half pence per day.
At this time, twenty-four eggs were sold
for penny. a pair ofshoes for four pence,
a fat goose for two and half pence, a
hen for penny, wheat three pence per
bushel, and fat OK for six shillings and
eight pence. So that, in those days, q
days work would buy hen or two dozen
of eggs; four days work would buy a
pair of shoes, and.a fat OK cost eighty
days, work. On the whole, human la
Dor brought ou. the average about half as
much food and perhaps one fourth as
muclrcloth or clothing as itnow does. !.
Comparing the prices of to-day with
those above will suggest something
worthy of serious reflection.
