Don't marry an old man, Pearlita;
Don't wed your bright youth with his age
Inc gloom Of his many long winters
WIN darken your LIES summer page,
Don't marry an old man, Pearlita;
I'm on'y your nurse, It's true,
But my heart has lesrned wisdom through loving
Aud all Of It's love is for you.
How can I be silent, Psarlita,
When the child have loved and caressed
Throws her heart with its treasure OF feeling,
To be chilled upon Winters cold breast?
You are fair as a flower, Pearlita,
Gem-cr0wned with the dew of the Dawn;
But You know, dear, such flowers viii perish,
When the shadow CT Night draweth on!
Tou are sweet as a bird, my Pearlita,
That sings in the sun-lighted glade
It is not on the snow-cOYered mountain,
The home Of that young bride is made.
Yoa say that you love him, Pearlita,
You can lean on his strength aud grow strong,
You are willing to bloom near his bleakness,
To brighten his life with your songl
All my poor, little. foolish Pearlita,
How little yOu know what you say
Would this earth have its song-birds and blossoms
II December should follow the May7
You say that he loves You so truly,
That his words areNso noble and grand;
That he'll be both the father and lover,
II viii be sweet 10 obey or command!
Alb child, in your innocent planning,
You forget the sweet bridal Of yore,
Where God. in their morning Of being,
Welded Adam TO Eve evermore.
They were equal in youth and in beauty,
they were equal in knowledge and grace,
And God wishes this truest Of bridals
To be copied by all Of their race.
AXE this lesson to heart, my Pearlita,
And fling all this folly away
The Rose may not wed with the Snowflake,
Nor December weave garlands for May.

Limc ana sam,

ga Subscribe" asks the Massachusetts
PIoughnaGa if thine, dry-slacked, is {
good fertilizer, mixed with plaster and
ashes, or used by itself, for corn, pota-
toes and grass, or sandy loan soil 2" He
also asks If Liverpool salt is of any
value to sow on grass land, and how much
to the acre 2" To these queries the edi-
tor makes the following pertinent reply,
which we commend to our readers:
SIT may be set down as a well estab-
lished fact that lime is necessity in agri-
culture. If any soil is destitute of it, it
must be supplied in some form or other.
If it does not of itself give fertility, it
aids in the decomposition of vegetable
or organic matter in the soil, destroys
acidity, pulverizes granite soils, lightens
stiff and heavy clays, and in other ways
contributes to the productiveness of the
farm.
Generally speaking, the heavier the
soil the larger supply of lime will it take,
and if the soil is acid, peaty, it win re-
quire a liberal application, but on the kind
of soil you mention, the application of
ten or at most fifteen bushels per acre,
once in three or five years, is as much as
it would be judicious to give it. Such
soils need large supplies of organic man.
ures, and an alternate ploughlng in the
green crops win benefit them.
Slime may be applied by itself or mix
ed with plaster and ashes as you Indicate
Keep it near the surface. Lime should
always be kept as near the surface as
practicable, and not ploughed under. 1t
will work down into the soil quite fast
enough.
Liverpool salt or any other salt is of
considerable value as a top dressing on
most grass land, but we should prefer to
compost it before sowing with muck and
lime, ashes, plaster or some other divisor.
1t is a very capital plan to dissolve the
salt in water, making it as strong as pos
sible, and then to slack the lime with this
brine, and mix it in the compost while it
is fresh. That is much better than to dry
slack the lime when it becomes carbona-
ted and slow in its action -

The :. YeIIoyys ;, in Peach Trees.

At q recent meeting of the st. Joseph
Fruit Growers Association, the subject of
the peach tree and its diseases was dis
cussed. Some remarks were about the
'tyellows," a disease which of late has
made alarming progress in the st. Joseph
peach district, one man having lost twenty
per cent Of the trees during the last two
years on a five acre lot, though this was
doubtless an extreme case. Ii was the
general opinion of the members that the
disease had been transmitted from New
Jersey trees, as in cases where all the
trees planted were of Michigan stock nc
instances of it had been found. No re-
medy, other than the determination of the
tree affected, has been found to be of any
avail A correspondent Of the st. Joseph
Traveller thus speaks of it:
''This disease manifests itself the first
season in an unhealthy appearance of the
foliage, the premature ripening of the
fruit, the purple discOloration of the flesh,
and an unusually high color of the sur
face. The second season small why
shoots in clusters push out on all the large
limbs. No remedy has been found tc
cure tree when once affected. 1t il
believed that the keeping of the vigor OF
the tree by proper fertilizers, good culture
and an annually shortening in of the
young growth goes far toward warding of
the disease. -

frees on DecIiviiies.

We deem it rather remarkable, says The
R,rdliSt, that we found in visiting fruit
growing districts in Europe, in our last
visit, five years since, the best cultivatOrs
there, when they could, planted their
orchards or vineyards on a gentle sloping
hill, with q southeastern aspect, expert
ence having taught them, as they stated
TO us, that such was the best situation for
an orchard or a vineyard. Dodart first
observed that trees pushed their branches
in a direction parallel to the surface of
the earth. If a tree stands on steer
hillside il pushes both towards the hill
and the decliyity; but or both sides it still
preserves its branches parallel to the sur
face. As there is attraction between the
upper surface Of leaves and light, We arr

FARM AND GARDEN.
Carc or House PIants.


There is an art in watering plants which
a novice rarely knows. They should
never be watered unless they are really
thirsty; unless the surface of the soil is
dry, then water until it runs out into the
saucer. After all are thus thoroughly
watered, turn out the surplus which is in
the saucers, as it is injurious to most
plants to have the pot stand in water.
Hydrangeas, Gala lilies and lobelias, ale
the exceptions which prove this rule
Plants which are budding and blossoming
vigorously require more water than those
which are not so healthy. In fact iudg-
ment is needful in this matter of watering,
and it is only attained by practice. One
thing is very necessary, and that is always
to use water warm to the hand. Never
apply even ono drop Of cold water. 1t
chills the roots so that they cannot grow.
We had friend who used to water her
plants with the tea left in the teapot after
breakfast, and her success as a cultivator
was marvellous! Rather expensive, but
it certainly was ef1icacious. All plants
kept in rooms should be well washed at
least once a fortnight, and once a week
will insure a more healthy growth.
