When the King of Belgium came over
to England few months ago to visit Her
Majesty the Queen, the officers of volun-
teers presented an address to His Majesty,
thanking him for the hospitality with
which he had entertained them in his
own capital the year before. The Lord
Mayor of London had also some returns
to make for favors received, and he invit-
ed all the Mayors ofthe cities of the Uni
ted Kingdom to come and help him do
the honors of the metropolis to the royal
visitor. They came, presented an ad-
dress, had Il wonderful banquet. The adj
dress they presented was inelosed in
magnificent silver casket, ON whose four
sides are represented the cities of London.

The municipal. authorities of Brussels re-
ceived them at the railway station, and it
required fifty carriages, and several large
army wagons for baggage, to transport
them to the quarters provided for them.
The King was obliged to move for the
time to large palace, that he might have
room to entertain them; and, when they
had the inevitable feast, there was not
room for the Lady Mayoresses. Cont

WHAT THE FARMER MUsT Know
The farmer, like the business man, must
know what he is doing; he must fave
some pretty decided ideas of what he is to
accomplish--in fact he must calculate it
beforehand.
He must know his soil-that of each
lot; not only the top, but the sub-soil.
He must also know what grain and
grasses are adapted to each.
He must know when it is the best time
to work them, whether they need fallow-
ing.
He must know that some grains re-
quire earlier sowing than others, and what
those grains are.
He must know how to put them in.
He must know that it pays to have
machinery TO aid him, as well as mus
Gle.
He must know about stocks and ma
nures, and the cultivation of trees and
small fruits, and many other things; in
a word, he must know what experienced,
observing farmers know, to be sure OF
success. Then he will not guess will
not run such risks.-Rural World.

Al New England merchant doing a
large business requiring several clerks, a
short time since missed several articles OF
value from his store. He determined to
watch the habits of the young men, to dis
cover, if possible, which one, if either of
them, was untrustworthy. There was one
of them who appeared particularly active
and faithful; his dress was inferior to that
of the other clerks, and was not particu-
larly popular among them. The merch-
ant learned that this young man remain
ed for half an hour or more after the 9TH
ers left, with the door of the store locked.
This circumstance awakened his suspl-
cions, and he arranged plan to conceal
himself in the store, so that he might dis
cover what occurred when the clerk sup
posed himself to be unobserved. Hav-
ing sent the young man upon an GRAND
Just before the hour of closing, he entered
his place of concealment. The door was
locked as usual, at the proper time. The
clerk at once began to sweep and put the
establishment in order.
While waiting tor the dust to settle, he
was seen to 90 behind the counter, and
taking something from beneath it, placed
it in the breast of his coat. The mer-
chant was now alive toydiscover what had
been taken, and what was to be done with
it. The young man went to the window
and sat in silence few moments, appa'
rently examining the package which he
had taken from his breast. The mer
chant was not left long in doubt. His
clerk soon fell upon his knees; he saw
that it was a Bible he had been reading
and now hesofered aloud a simple and
touching prayer, for himself, his mother
and sister, his employer, and particularly
for a brother clerk, who, he feared, was
yielding TO temptation. After he had
finished busting he left the store, uncon
scious Of having had human eye upon
him.
1t is easy to believe that the merchant
was deeply affected by what he had seer
and heard. This clerks salary was in
creased several hundred dollars year
and he was given the position made va
cant by the discharge of another whose
criminal acts had been discovered.

the other three having been lost by be-
coming security for a friend. Curious,
who was celebrated for his frugality. and
who was three times chosen Consul and
thrice honored with triumph in return
ing from a campaign, refused from the
people a grant of fifty acres, declaring
that he was bad citizen who would not
be contented with the old allowance Of

A WRINKLE ABOUT THE AGE OF HoR-
sEs.-A short time ago we met gentle
man from Illinois, who gave us piece of
information in regard to ascertaining the
age of horse, after he or she had passed
the ninth year, which was new to us, and
will be, we are sure, to most of our rea-
ders. 1t is this: after the horse is nine
years old, a wrinkle comes on the eyelid
at the upper corner Of the lower lid, and
every year thereafter he has one well-de-
fined wrinkle for each year over nine.
If, for instance, a horse has three wrin-
kles, he is twelve; if four, he is thirteen.
Add the number of wrinkle in nine, and
you will get it. So says the gentleman
and he is confident it will never fail.
As good many people have horses over
nine, it is easily tried. If true, the
horse dentist must give up his trade
