The General Crop Prospects.

Throughout the country the pros
poets are very favorable for agriculture
and on all sides efforts are being made
to put in large crops Of the great Sta
pies. All the great departments Of in
dustry have settled down to q healthy
level, and become adjusted on the basis
Of something like normal prices, and
and will therefore exhibit less frequent
changes and revolutions, and depend
more upon the character of the season.
The winter wheat crop in the West Is
reported as large one, ana promises to
! come to market unusually early. From
all that we can learn, as large or even
larger areas are to be put under cereals
throughout the West, and the South
has certainly devoted more land to
| breatlstuf1s. The exact prospects OF tho
cotton crop cannot be accurately stated
yet, but it is pretty certain that about
20 per cent. less has been planted than
last season. There is plenty Of evil
dence as to decrease in the acreage
| under cotton, but the extent OF the dc
crease is only a matter of conjecture.
| The prospects for the sugar crop are eN-
! ccllent, Notwithstanding considerable
losses by crcvasses. The Bonnet Carrc
crevasse will not seriously affect the to-
tai crop, as the plantations on this side
the river just above the city arc con
fined to 81 narrow strip along the bank.
Much of the damage Oh the other side
of the river may possibly be repaired,
us the crevasscs have been stopped.
On the whole, tho prospects for the
coming season are favorable, and I'M
less unpropitious weather prevents,
bountcous harvests will again reward
tho farmers toils,an prosperity attend
tho merchant and the artisan.-N o.

Self Reliance.

Children should be taught this at an
early age. An exchange says:
Our observation has led us to the
conclusion that two st the strongest ele-
ments of success are, courageous sclf-rc-
lance, and economy. The boy left Il
poor ophan has to fight his own bat
ties. No rich father furnishes him a
carriage to ride, and SO he must walk
and he learns to walk. No one reaches
out a friendly hand to lead him, and he
learns to go alone. With a scanty sup
ply of pocket money, he is compelled to
habits Of economy that over after cling
to him. "The boy is the father Of the
man. is trite saying. The poor boy
comes up to manhood, and instead of
leaning upon some one to aid him, or
of waiting for some one to come to his
help he strikes out with feeling that,
to use vulgarism, he must "root hog
or die"-and he roots away. Look
where you will, and you will find that
nincty-five out of every hundred sue
cessful men are inspired with just this
self-reliant feeling. 1t is at the very
foundation of the go-ahead and get
ahead-yourself spirit that animatcs
them.

Strawberry Beds.

Strawberry bcdsan patches arc often
seriously injured by working too close
to the plants, especially in hot and dry
weather. It must be rccOiiected that
this plant forms a spreading mass of
extremely small and thrcad-lils roots
just at the surface; and these roots near
ly always extend far beyond tho spread
Of the leaves. In working close up to
the plants, Gas many gardeners do,
with sharp hoe, these roots or feed
ers are cut Off, and if the sun is very
hot for q few days after this working,
many of the plants perish--or, if they
survive, at all, anguish through the
entire summer.
The proper way to work Il strawberry
bed, is to loosen the earth gently and
carefully around tho plants for a foot or
moro beyond the crown, with a pronged
hoe or light rake, picking out any
weeds or grass within this space with
the fingers, and taking especial pains
neither to cut or mutilatc the roots.
The middlcs (away from the plants),
may then be chopped out with 4 light
weeding-hoc, and broad strip along
the line of plants mulched. II the
whole ground is mulchcd, tho plants
viii be greatly benefited, and much
labor in wedding and hOcing will be
prevented.
Grass or weeds are Especially fatal to
strawberry plants; and success with
this delicious and protitabl" fruit can
only be secured by clean culture,
mulching, and copiouS watering, in Sc
we're and long continued tlroughts.
Now is the time to clean up the patch
and mulch it carefully; and remember,
do not let your gardener cut the roots.

Vulgarity.

We commend the following extract
to the thoughtful study of the young.
Nothing is 50 disgusting and repugnant
to the feelings of the noble and good
as to hear the young, or even old use
profane, low, vulgar language. The
young Of our town are particularly
guilty OF profanity. In our day it
seems the "boy" does not feel himself
Il "man'' unless he can excel in this
great sin:
owe would guard the young against
the use Of every word that is not strict
ly proper. Use no prOfane expression
allude to no sentence that will put to
blush the most sensitive. You know
not the tendency of habitually using
indecent and profane language. 1t may
never be obliterated from your heart.
When you grow up you will find at
your tongues end some expression
which you would not use for any
money. TWAS used when quite young.
By using care you will save youself a
great deal of modification and sorrow.
Good men have been taken sick and
become dclirious. In these moments
they used the most vile and indecent
language imaginable. When informed
of it after restoration to health they
had no idea of the pain they caused;
they had learned and repeated the OK
preston in childhood, and though
years had passed since, they had been
indelibly stamped upon the heart.
Think of this, ifyou are tempted to use
improper language, and never disgrace

A fond father, blessed with eleven
children, and withal n very domestic
man, tells this story: One afternoon,
business being very dull, he took the
carly train out to his happy home, and
went up stairs to put the children to
bed. Being missed from the smoking
room, his wife went up stairs to see
what was going OH; upon opening the
door she exclaimed: "Why, dear,
what for mercy's SA1le are you doing ?"
"Why," says hss kisey, am putting
the children to bed, and having them
say their little prayers" eyes" says
wiley, 'but this is not one OF ours"
Sure enough, he had got one of the
neighbours children all undresscd, and
he had to redress it and send it home.
After that he called the roll every
and night.

Mcrcurial ointment is remedy for

owners of those gardens even prepare

And eighty little orphans tears
Are mingled with mine own,
And eighty hearts of tender years

And apoplexy too;
With corns, Mysteries and the mumps,
And dread tic-doloureux.

They phySicked and they blcd;
And though she lived with thirty lives,
No wonder she is doad.
But ore she died, in countless thronrs

And waded through each others tears
Yet even then she thought of me,
And sought my grief to qucll
And summoned me beside her beds

''But oh! don't marry Widow Smith,
For Widow Smith is forty-fold

Thou wort a model wife!

Too many for this life.

And sing the lullaby.

Your souls are free from pain;

And try my luck again.
