1t is said by good medical authority
that there is not the remOtest corner or
little inlet of the minute blood vessels of
the human body thst does not feel some
wavelet from the Convulsion OccasiOned
by hearty laughter, and that the
central man. or life-prinCiple is shaken
to lis innermOst depths, sending new
tides of life and strength to the surface,
and thus materially tending TO insure
good health to the person who INDUCES
therein. The blood moves more rapidly
, probably caused by some chemical or
\ ectric modification occasiOned by the
y onvulsicn-and conveys different i'm
preston to all the organs of the body as
it visits them on that particular mystic
Journey. when the man is laughing, from
what it does at other times. For this rea-
son every good hearty laugh IN which a
person INDUCES tends to lengthen their
life, conveying, as it does, new and dis
tinct stimulus TO the vital forces. We
doubt not the time will come when ply
siCians, COncCding more importance than
they now do TO the influence of the mind
upon the vital forces of the body, will
prescribe to the torpid and melancholy
patient a certain number Of hearty peals
of laughter. to be undergone at stated
periods, and believe that they viii, in so
doing, find the best and most effective
method of producing the required effect
upon the patient Our advice to all is,
indulge in good, hearty, soulful laughter
whenever the opportunity offers. and if
you do not derive material benefit there
from, charge us with uttering false prin-
Ciples of Hl0tCria Ulcdtcd.

CAUsTIC LIME FOR INSECTS.

There are few insects that can with
stand dose of freshly Stacked lime. We
always keep a quantity of it on hand
ready for sprinkling over plants infested
with slugs or bugs of any kind, and it has
always proved effectual if applied at the
right time. Last year, the white-pine
worm attacked nearly every pine tree on
our place, but two or three dustings of
lime when the trees were wet with dew
banished or destroyed this pest, which in
a few days, if unchecked, would have
stripped every leaf from our trees. The
asparagus beetle appeared upon our beds
OF this vegetable in countless numbers,
but few doses of lime have made them
leave, and the plants look healthy and
vigorous at the present time.
We have driven from our garden the
rose-slug, cabbage-fiea, and numerous
other pests, by the use of this same ma
terial, and we have never observed that
the plants were damaged by its use. A
correspondent at the West says that he
has entirely checked the ravages of the
Colorado potato-bug by freely using lime
upon the plants, and we have no doubt
that others might be equally successful by
a persistent use of this material. Lime is
SO cheap that no one can object TO its use
on that score, and even if it fails to kill
the insects, it will usually do the land
good wherever applied. Hearth and

MARTHA WESTINGHOUSE
WATCH.
An Old and Interesting Relic al New
buPg-A Isit of History.

The "Father of His Country had a
couple of '1ove affairs" The first was
with Mary Phillipse, a daughter of the
owner of the Phi1ipse estate in West
chester and Putnam counties. With the
graces of this lady he was almost incura-
bly,. smitten, and tradition AYERS that
George was be is profanely called
''sat up" with his "girl" all night occa-
sionally. But, in the modern phrase,
Mary couldn't see it, and gave George
the mitten some time in the year 1856. In
1858 he met the widow Gusts, and not
being favored at that time with the ad-
wise of the elder Mr.. Samuel Weller,
he neglected to ''bevare" of that
dangerous variety of the sex, fell over
head and ears in love with Mrs. Gusts,
successfully "sparked" her, and in due
course of time was married to her. His
cid flame, Miss Phillipse, became the wife
of Roger Norris. Georges wedding Oc-
CURED in 1859. After the betrothal of
George and Martha, he presented his lady
love with handsome gold watch, which
was manufactured expressly TO his order
in London. This watch is now in New
burg, and an effort is being made by the
citizens to purchase the Interesting old
relic and deposit it at Washington's head
quarters in that city. The price asked
for it is only $1,000. 1t was given by
Mrs. Washington to Mrs. Halyburton,
her neice and the mother of Judge James
d. Ialyburton, of Virginia. The saddest
part of its history is that it is now thrown
on the market for sale, as one of the re-
suits to its owners, the family of Judge
Halyburton, of the fortunes of our late
war, which stripped so many of our
Southern countrymen of their possessions.
The watch bears the name of its maker,
'sBarwie, London, No. 743." 1t is Of
the old-fashioned "bull's eye" pattern,
reduced in thicless 10 neat lady's style.
The gold case is inlaid with white enamel
around the edge of back and face. The
watch is in its original case and accom-
panied by its original key. The letters
of the name 'Martha Gusts" are marked
on the dial plate, one letter just outside
OF each of the figures indicating the
hours. The watch is now II years old.
A day or two ago it was "wound up,
and licked as of eve Olden time, " but it
marked the hours slowly, reminding one
of brave old heart beating on beyond its
three score and ten.-Nea0 York Herald.

GREEN MANURING.

Whether the land which has borne a
crop of wheat, oats, barley or rye is to be
sown again in the fall for another grain
crop, or to be left fallow to be planted in
cotton or corn the next year, there is no
better or more economical mode of en-
riching and preparing it than by sowing
it broadcast in peas at the rate of Il or 3
bushels to the acre Immediately after the
grain has been cut and removed, and
blowing them and the stubble under with
good turn pillow.
In September, when the peas have OBJ
tanned their full growth, barrel of lime
per acre should be scattered evenly over
the growing peas, and then the whole
turned under with one of the many new
plows which are specially adapted to the
purpose. That which will bury the en-
tire green growth is the best.
Even at the present extravagant price
of peas, 1915 per bushel, it will prove
the cheapest mode of manuring grain
land for use in fall or spring.
Prof. johnson in his great work on
Agricultural Chemistry, 417-9, explains
the principle upon which green manuring
depends, and illustrates the important
practical results by which it is followed.
He says: The blowing in of green Vege-
tables on the spot where they have grown
may be followed as a method of manuring
and enrichiDg all land, where other man
ures are less abundant. Growing plants
bring up from beneath, as far as their
roots extend, those substances which are
useful to vegetation, and retain them in
their leaves and stems. By blowing in
the whole plant we restore to the surface
what had previously sunk to a greaser or
less depth, and thus make it more fertile
than before the green crop was sown.
This manuring is performed with the least
loss by the use of vegetables in the green
state. BY allowing them to decay in the
open air, there is loss both of organic
and inorganic matter-if they be con-
verted into farm yard manure there is
large loss. In no other form can the same
crop convey to the soil an equal amount
of enriching matter as in that of green
leaves and stems.
Another important result is that the
beneficial action is almost immediate.
Green vegetables decompose rapidly, and
thus the first crop that follows a green
manuring is benefited and increased by
it. 4 +
1t is deserving of separate consideration
that green manuring is especially adapted
for improving and enriching soils which
are poor in vegetable matter. Living
plants contain in their substance not only
all they have drawn up from the soil, but
also great part of what they have drawn
from the air. Plow in these living plants
and you necessarily add to the soil more
than was taken from it-you make it rich
in organic matter. 1t would be diff
cult to define the limit beyond which
this enriching process cannot be car
ried by repetition. -So,tther7l Farm and

HOW TO RANIsH ELE.s.

A Missouri correspondent of III,
Country Gentleman gives his experience
In Kidding his premises of fieas as fol
lows:
Some years ago had a barn that y
hundred head of hogs were allowed 10
winter in until late spring. The fleas be-
came SO numerous that it was not safe to
approach nearer than twenty yards. unless
man was proof agains: their bites, as
many are, TO my knowledge. deter
mined to clear them out, and directed two
negroes to remove all the dust and dry
dlrt; haul eight or ten barrels of water.
and wet the floors and walls perfectly:
collect a quantity of pennyroyal aud
black walnut leaves; cover The floor
three inches deep, and set some boughs of
the walnut against the walls and trOughs.
In six days there was not flea to be
seen, and trainer of race horses occu-
pied the barn all summer without moles-
tation. / have known sheep turned into
the stable and barn yard and kept there,
and the feas get in the wool and perish
or are carried off to the pastures.
The Scientific american furnishes
the following:
The oil of pennyroyal will drive these
insects off; but cheaper method, where
the herd f1ourishes, is to throw your dogs
and cats into decoction of it once a
week. Now the herb, and scatter it in
beds of pigs once month. / have seen
his done for many years in succession.
Where the herb cannot be got, the oil |
nay be procured. In this case, saturate
trings with it, and tie them around the |
lecks of dogs and cats; pour a little on |
he back and about the ears of hogs,
which you can do while they are feeding,
Without touching them.
By.repeating this application every ~
r 8 days, the leas will flee from your
uadrupeds, to their relief and improve

ouse. Strings saturated with the oil of
and tied around the necks

I'm SCHOOL DAYS.


81 JOHN G. WHITTIER.
Still sits the schoolhouse by the road,
A ragged beggEr summing:
Around il still the sumachs grow.
And blackberry vines are running.
Within, the masters desk is seen,
Deep Scared by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jackknife's carved initial;
The charcoal frescoes on the walls,
Its doors worn sill, betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school,
Went stormiDg out to plsyingl
Long years ago winters sun
Shone over il at setting;
Lit up its western window panes,
And low caves icy fretting.
1t touched the tangled golden curls,
ANA brown eyes full of grieving,
OF one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled,
His cap pulled low upon q face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow,
To right and left he fingered,
As restlessly her tiny hands
The blue-checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift his eyes; he felt
The soft hands light caressing,
And heard the trembling Of her voice,
As If a fault confessing-
''I'm sorry thst spelt the word;
hate to go above you,
Because"-the brown eyes lower fell
"Because, you see, 1 love you"
Still memory to 9 gray haired man
That sweet child-face is showing.
Dear girl the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been groEingl
He lives to learn in LIES hard school,
How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph and his loss,
Like her-because they love him.

DR.. Nichols remarks on the ahov,

DR.. Nichols remarks on the above:
ut will be noticed that in the nitrogen
(ammonia forming CONSTITUENCY, the solu-
bic organic and inorganic bodies, and DO
fash and soda salts, there is loss in the
exposed manure, which renders it of less
than half the money value of the other.
The quality and the preservation of ma
nures supply topics which should be pre-
sented to farmers very often, that they
may be led clearly to understand the whole
subject, and provide against losses, which
are of most serious nature. We shall
refer to this important matter again.

A TRAVELLER who recently passed
through Salt Lake City says he saw people
at work in the gardens attached to nearly
every homestead, driving the grasshop-
pers in swarms out of the Enclosures, u.s.
ing green boughs to whip them with, and
"smudges" to discourage them from COM
ing back. A person walking along the
street would have cloud of them rising
before him at every step.

SHELTER FOR MANURE.

Ii the manure from the horse and COW
stables, hog-pens, etc., were gathered in
cellar, or placed under a shelter where
it could not be washed by rain or scorched
by the sun, its value as fertilizer would
be fully double that of the same bulk
which has been left exposed to the
weather.
An experiment as to the relative value
of exposed and sheltered manure has been
recently made in New England, the re-
suit of which has been published in the
Boston Journal Of Chemistry by DR..
Nichols. 1t is as follows:
