NanurIBg With Sod.

Sod is the Regeneration Of farming as
il always has been in nature, and its
efficacy IS not lost. It Is manuring
without labor, it IS the right pabulum
the plant itself reproduced. We do
not raise grass enough, clover i'm par
ticular, the farmers plant. We should
raise more, much more, to fatten both
our stock and land. And we need lit
tie more to do both. The green fields
of England are a hundred years old,
some Of them some much Older-in
grass all this time, and still yielding
good as ever. Grass gets its strength
from the atmosphere, but also from
the soil, the two sources ineXhaustible
How long have the prairies been
growing grass, dense, thick, a sod so
tough it can scarcely be broken? d? Here
is a philosophy which appeals with a
force which we can not resist.
Now we know for a certainty that
land can be kept in grass for "a good
many years, if not perpetually, by
simply allowing it its own coat OF
aftermath in tbs fall. We have tried
this ard seen it tried for over a dozen
years with perfect success, and on
land that before would run out treated
in the usual Old-fashiOned way OfclOse
feeding. Where land is quite poor il
needs top dressings TO start It, top
dressings from the stables or compost,
till good sod il formed. Then rely
upon the aftermath, and upon Occa-
siOnal sprinklings Of plaster and ashes
if you wish heavier crops.

A New and Absurd Fashion.

A Parisian correspondent of the
London Court Journal, writing on the
subject of ladies' dress in that city,
states that long trains have been aban-
dOned, and describes n new fashion
called 'Ia robe rOnde,n which consists
of a gown made quite plain, about a
yard too long before and behind.
There can be no doubt that this gar
ment is an almost admirably incon-
venient design, but it is impossible to
hear of its adoption without the mel
anchOly reflection that it must have
nearly exhausted the ingenuity which
devises articles of female attire which
do not and are not intended to fit the
wearer. We have already gowns
too long, too short, too narrow; in
fact, for years no one has ever seen a
gown which was not either too vast or
too scanty, and, after '1a robe ronde"
has had its day, there is nothing else
which can be done by the ladies but
to have their clothes made the proper
size. 1t is true that further develop
ments might be obtained by extension
upward; gowns might begin at the
top of the head, and by means of a
pole or brass rod might be carried i'm
that direction TO an immense altitude
Apertures would of course be necess-
airy for the eyes, and a custom of this
nature would produce a novel if not a
pleasing effect. Beyond this, there is
absolutely nothing which can be sug-
gested in the way of misfits, and the
time cannot now be far distant when
we hope to see women clothed and in
their right minds.

Just Such NeighbOrs.

y man stopping ut tavern for rest
and refreshments, began to talk about
his journey. He had come from a
neighboring town; he was moving
away, and glad enough to get away
too. Such a set of neighbOrs as he had
there; unkind, disObliging, cross and
contrary; it was enough to make any
one want to leave the place; and he
had started, and was going to settle
in another region where he could find
a different set of inhabitants.
"Well, ;" said the landlord, ''yOu will
find Just such ReighbOrs where you are
going"
The next night another man stop
ped at the inn. He, too, was on a
journey; was moving. On inquiry,
it was found that he had come from
the same place from which the former
traveller had eeme. He said he had
been obliged t0 move from where he
lived, and he did not mind moving so
much as he did leaving his neighbOrs
they were so kind, cOnsiderate, accom-;
mOdating and generous, that he felt
very sorry at the thought of leaving
them and going among strangers, es-
pecially as he could not tell what kind
of neighbOrs he would find.
go, WE'LL" said the old landlord,
"yOu will find just such neighbOrS
where you are going"
Does it not seem possible that men
will generally find about such neigh
bors as they are looking for? Some
people are always inl trouble, others
''follOw peace with all men," Who
knows but we can have just about
such neighbOrs as we wish for, by
simply treating them as we would be
treated?

Keep Your Word.

\ boy borrowed tool from n neigh
Dor promising to return il at night.
Before evening he was sent away on
an errand, and did not return until
lafe. Before he went, he was told that
his brothers should see the tool re-
turned. After he had come home and
had gone to bed; he inquired and
found the tool had not been sent to its
owner. He was much distressed to
think his promise was not kept, but
was persuaded to 20 TO sleep and rise
early and carry it home. BY daylight
he was up, and nowhere was the tool
to be found. After a long and fruit
less search he set OFF for his neighbOr's
in great distress to acknowledge his
fault But how great was his surprise
to find the tool on his neighbOr's door
step? And then it appeared, from the
prints of little bare feet on the mud,
that the lad had got up in his sleep
and carried the tool home, and went
to led again and knew it not. OF
course a boy who was prompt in his
sleep was prompt when awake. He

dence Of his neighbOrs, and was placed

Lost Mnmen.

Ny friends, has it ever occurred to
you what commentary upon our civ
iliZatiOn are these lost women and tho
attitude of society towards them2 A
little child strays from the house in
closure and the whole community is
on the alert to find the wandereI and
restore it to the mothers arms. What
rejoicings when it is found, what tear
full sympathy, what heartiness of con-
gratulatiOns? There are no harsh
comments upon the poor, tired feet,
be they never so miry, no reprimand
for the sOiled and torn garments, no
lack of kisses for the tear-stained face.
But let the child be grown to woman
hood, let her be led from the inclO-
sure of morality by the voice of af-
fection. or driven from it by the
scOurge of want-what happiness
then? Do Christian men and women
90 in quest of her? or, if she returns of
her own motion, do they receive her
with such kindness and delicacy aS
tOsecuTe heragainst wandering again?
Far from it. At the first false step
she is denounced rs lOst-lOst, echo
friends and relatives-we disOwn you;
don't ever come near us to disgrace
us. Lost, says society indifferently.
How bad these girls are? And lost
irrerievably lost-is the prompt YER
diet of conventional morality, while
one and all unite in bOlting every
door between her and respectability.
Ali, will not these lost ones be re-
quired at our hands i'll the great here
after Mrs. Burleigh in the Ned0 JCT-
seq Woman Suffrage COnUe1atiOn.
