sketches, in addition to the serial story by
Anthony Trollope, which continues to in
crease in interest. Grace Greenwood
sketches 1.-TWO Old Heads" from her
Italian recollections. "a real hero's" story

Leypoldt 81 Holt, New York, publish
an extra of their Trade Circular and Lit
erary Bulletin for March, containing an
official report of the proceedings of the
Publishers Board of Trade.
The April number of the New York
Teacher and American Educational
Monthly is published by ]. w. Schermer-
horn s. Co., New York. 1t contains a
large variety of valuable articles among
which are :-"Discipline in the School
Room; "What a Man Knows; 1.-THE
Teaching of Science; "The Value OF
Education; "Agassiz in NeufchateT (;
Systematic Technical Education" Mis-
use of the word A1ad' Science for Chill
dren." .
-Thurlow Weeds revelations in his
autobiography are eagerly caught up in
advance by those who are so fortunate as
to be able to lay hands on the veterans
manuscript. Perhaps no public man has
quite SO many queer things to tell as L.
W. has. The May Galaxy" has arrang-
ed to get chapter from him that will
contain his "reminiscences of half GEN.
fury ago in Central and Western New
York, among men whose descendants are
to-day conspicuous citizens. 1t will ladd
considerable interest to that always inter-
esting magazine.
-Appletons' Journal, for April 16, is
the best specimen of a popular literary
weekly published. 1t has a continuation
of Mr.. De Miles Canadian novel, mere
chapters of Mrs. ELEPHANTS latest story, a
chapter from Thurlow Weeds autobio-
graphy, sketch, with portrait, of Darwin,
the naturalist, beside stories, miscellany,
sketches, and delightful variety of table
talk. The supplement this week is an
elegant cartoon representing a Southern
garden, in all its tropical luxuriance be-
side which, the first page contains an ex-
cellent wood-cut from one of Gerome's
paintings, representing the bazaar at
Cairo.
Every Saturday, for April Is, will be
sought by public hungry for more of
Dickens, with an appetite only whetted
by the first delicious instalment which
appeared last week. The second weekly
part eff "The Mystery of Edwin brood"
which is published in the current number
of Every Saturday, shows that the story
is to grow in interest and power as it pro-
ceeds. Already we see the promise of the
first chapters developing into scheme of
the true Dickens order, grand and in
tense. The pictorial attractions of this
number are fully up to the high standard
which the publishers have set for their
splendid weekly. There are four full
page illustrations, beautiful in drawing
and engraving, with portrait of Sir Rod
erick Murchison and other cuts, in all
seven pictures. The wonderful popular
ity of this handsomest of weeklies is no
mystery to the thousands who watch its
prompt appearance with so much interest.

For the HERALD
A RaMble.
BIZ 1. W. G,

The morning sun, had risen high,
In lovely cloudless April sky.
Ere we left the village to take tramp
To neighboring maple sugar camp.
The merry song of happy birds,
Among the leahess trees was heard.
And high above us, sailing slow,
The circling hawks, and cawing crow.
Were proof, that winter had been won,
And given way to April sun.
Out from his sheltered oaken hooks,
The wary squirrel starts and looks.
And then with chirp, that's shrill and clear,
He bounds away, with started fear.
The barren hills, so gray and bare,
Re-echo' with the bleat and blare.
Of herds and hocks that in suspense,
Stand crowding by the winding fence.
And now and then, drift of snow,
In some cool nook, itself would show.
Seeming to hide; and eager to shun,
The melting rays of the April sun.
Stretched the mountains, high and grand.
Their snowy peaks rugged and high,
Stand white against the cloudless sky.
Far to the north the chain extends,
Till earth and sky in one mass blends.
On we stroll through meadow DER bog,
CIambering the Wondering messy log.
Crossing again, and again, the rills,
That rush with a murmuring voice from the hills
And then the bridge that crosses the deep
And whirling water of Otter Creek.
Is passed, and on the other side,
We reach farm in all its pride.
Up the sides of tn old house, climb,
The clinging ivy, and columbine.
And round the perch, are withered stocks
OF twining grape, and hollyhock.
Farther along, meath the apple trees,
Around their hives are the swarming bees.
Into the pastures through the gate,
That closes with heavy weight
We pass and on the wooded hill,
The curling smoke so clear and still
Of the distant sugar camps arise,
Drifting away in the morning skies.
Hurrying on, with rapid stride,
Across the meadow and up the side
OF the rocky hill, where scattered around,
Under the naples and close to the ground
Are the buckets and pals, catching the sap
As it slowly drops from the wooden taps.
Here we passed the hours away,
Eating the sugar in various ways,
And drinking the sap, for never a draught
OF sweeter kind, was ever quaffed.

ADVENT.
A conference of the Second Advent
lists of New England is being held in
the New England States, and from parts
of the West and the South. The leading
clergymen of the denomination will
preach during the session, setting forth
the doctrines held by the denomination,
as we'll as others held In common with
the various evangelical sects. They hold
especially "the doctrine of the immediate
personal coming and reign of Christ on
earth ; holiness of heart; the unconscious
state of the dead; their literal resurrec-
ton, and the final destruction of the
wicked"
The services of Thursday morning last
consisted of prayer, singing and exhorta-
zion, about one hundred different persons
participating. In the afternoon Elder
Daniel Leavitt preached a sermon from
Acts H., Goth to Both verse; and in the
evening Elder Miles Grant presented the
principles of the organization and belief.
1t was thought the evidence of the second
appearance of Christ had increased since
the years 1913 and 1874 at least fortyfold.
The sessions will be continued through
out the week and Sunday.

A DUEL IN CAL1FoRNIA.-At Los
Angeles, Cal, on the 23d ult, a duel was
fought between one J. B. Wilson, son of
State Senator, and Capt. G. E. Bean, a
journalist, and late of theI Confederate
service. The weapons used were rifles,
and the distance thirty PAGES. They were
placed back to back, with instructions to
wheel and fire at the word. At the first
signal Wilson's rifle Imissed fire. Bean,
who had been less prompt, refused the adj
vantage, and second trial was had. At
the word both rifles were discharged.
Wilson was wounded in the arm slightly !;
Bean was unframed. The quarrel was
then amiciably adjusted. 1t grew out of
q political discussion. Bean was one Of
the few men who carried their sympathy
for the rebellion 30 far as to leave a
Northern home, after the war began, and
enlist in the rebel army.

Jenny Lind of To-day.

We waited very impatiently
through Herr Goldschmidt's ambi-
tious instrumental prelude" and
through the first of his jerky cho-
ruses. It was not entirely fog which
made our eyes see dimly the sweet
faced woman sitting on his left hand
thinner, older, sadder, but still
with the same winning atmosphere
about every pose and every express
sion which conquered allhearts tWen-
ty years ago, disarms all criticism to-
day, and will continue to do so as
long as Jenny Lind's soul dwells in
Jenny Lind's body. If there be such
things as perfect grace of clumsiness
perfect beauty of homeliness, she,
has them, and they are more lasting
than the gracefulness or the beauty
of good looks. AS it is with her face,
her movements, her attitudes, so it
is with her voice. Sacred above all
it has lost, it has kept certain some
thing of such individuality that one
would know it for Jenny Lind's
voice. In spite of the husky chest
tones, in spite of the strained and
hardly reached upper G, there is a
peculiar SOULFUL quality in it which
has been rarely heard on any stage,
except when Jenny Lind has sung.
Critics would say-and, perhaps, by
rules of art, their assertion cannot
be contradicted-that Jenny Lind's
voice is gone. Both men and women
are still moved to their hearts by
her singing. / believe if she sings
when she is three score years and
ten, it will be the same.-lLondon

man, writes to Moore's Rural New
Yorker: =
am acquainted with no cabbage
that has given such general satisfac-
ton as the FiLderkrdsGt. 1t is more
conical or "sugar loaf" in form than
any cabbage / have ever known, Is
very solid and keeps well. It forms
q solid head even under quite unfav-
orable circumstances, and I do not
think / ever observed three plants in
an acre that failed to produce q fair
marketable head. was induced to
import it on the recommendation of
one of my German customers who
thought he would have to return to
Fatherland If he could not get some

try. So you see have had the dou-
bic pleasure of preserving good and
industrious citizen to this land of

EATING WITH FoRKs.-Mr. w.
Peters of Otsego County, New York,
wishes to know "why it is not con-
sidered polite to eat with a knife"
He says he has mingled with all clas-
ses in New York City and elsewhere,
and has noticed "that the male per-
suasion who eat with their forks on
ly, generally carry a gold-headed
cane, part their hair in the middle,
and spend the money their fa-
theirs have earned the gentler sex
who never put their knives in their
mouths usually sports a long trail,
read novels, flirt with brainless fops,
and think it degrading to know
how to cook a steak or make loaf
of bread" Notwithstanding all this,
it is a fact that, in proportion as our
social civilization advances, four
tined silver or plated silver forks are
found for sale in hardware and house
furnishing stores all over the coun-
try. There are two reasons for this.
A knife sharp enough to divide meat
on the plate is an unsafe, not to say
dangerous, instrument to put in the
mouth. It is also in the nature of a
shovel, while the fork permits only
slow and select feeding, which is a
sure mark of refinement in man or
brute.-New York Tribune.

Farmers Headwork.

How often do we hear persons
give as a reason for making mis-
| fake, "that they did not think W II
| is by no means an uncommon thing
| to find two farmers, having the same
amount ofwork to do, with the same
amount of help, and yet one is always
hurried, while with the other every
! thing goes on like clOckwork. lfyou
will take the trouble to examine in
to the matter you will find the latter
works with his head as well with his
hands. He lays out his work in ad-
vance and does not work to disadvan-
tage he does not rush at job with
out first thinking of or finding out
the best and quickest mode of doing
it. Another great advantage to be
derived from headwork isthat it will
teach o man the true meaning of
the word economy. Many farmers
teconomize" in way which is any
thing but economy. How often do
we find farmers who, for economy's
sake, "can not afford to lime" yet
these same men mustand will admit
that the applicationof lime will
greatly increase their crops.
Let us apply headwork to this and
see what such economy is. Almost
any one will admit that coat of
lime applied to field which has had
none for ten or fifteen years, will in
crease the yield to an amount equiv
alent to two bushels of wheat per
acre, and will continue this rate of
increase for five years at least, or ten
bushels, worth say SIS. A coat of
forty bushels, per acre will cost (cost
of putting on 1ncluded) about 20 cents
per bushel, or So per acre. By ap-
plying these two calculations to each
other, we will see thst the lime is
nearly twice paid for by the increased
yield of the first five years, to say
nothing of the after increase, for its
action will extend beyond five years.
Therefore to cease lining Is not econ
omy by q great deal. Some will
continue to use a worn-out plow-
share, and instead of getting sharp
one, will raise the clevis and thus
run the plow upon its point, adding
at least one-fourth to the draught of
the team, and plowing up the grOand
in manner which will shorten the
crop to an amount which would buy
ten or fifteen shares. Such men viii
mostly plead want of time as an ex-
cuse for not doing many things
which should have been done, yet
such are the men who swell the
crowd at public sales and such places.
We will find such men running
their plows against the same "tight
stones" year after year, or plowing
round the same stump because they
have not time to remove them but
they never seem to think that the
time spent in getting over obstruc-
tions and in replacing broken plow-
shares would be sufficient to remove
it several times.
We should remember that to
practice ECONOMY we must not save
q dollar and thereby lose ten, or, in
other words, adopt the old adage of
'penny wise and pound foolish. !"
We may look where we will, in any
kind of trade, and we always find
that the man who practices headwork
always has the inside track in the
race oflife, while your "ecoEomist;'
is often left behind by those who un-
derstand true economy.-German-
town telegraph,

in their watches, consisting of a
patent Dust Excluder, effectually
closing the works, and enabling the
watch to run without being cleaned,
as long as a movement can possibly
do without it. This is valuable
addition to the Elgin Watches, and
will be appreciated by Farmers, Me-

gagged in outdoor employment. The
Company are said to have doubled
their sales in California and the min.

The Excluder is an entirely differ
