RISE HIGHER.-when the birds
are flying over, and the fowler
lies i'll wait for them, if they fly
low, at every discharge of the fow-
lers gun some fall, some are
wounded, and some, swerving
sideways, plunge into the thicket
and hide themselves. But you
will find that Immediately after
the first discharge of the gan the
flock rise and fly higher. And at
the next discharge they rise again
and fly still higher. And not
many times has the plunging shot
thinned their number, before they
take so high a level that it is in
vain that the fowler aimsat them,
because they are above the reach
of his shot.
When trouble comes upon you,
! fly higher. And if they will strike
you, fly still higher. And by and
by you will rise SO high in the
spiritual life that your affections
will be seton things entirely above,
that these troubles shall not be
able to touch yon. So long as the
shot strikes you, so long hear the
word of God saying TO you, "Rise
higher"

CALIFORNIA WoNDERS.-Near
the confines of FRESNO, Tulare, and
Inyo counties, in the vicinity of
the head waters of the Keweah,
there exists a remarkable piece of
country. The Indians say it is

Spirit. The country is rugged
and rocky-mountains, with deep
valleys and PERCEPTIONS cliffs.
Snakes and reptiles of every de-
scription abound in untold mum

grind and gri5 together as if being

Frequently, deep discharges are
heard, muffled and dull like the
distant sound of heavy artillery
At night the sounds seem to be
more abundant than in the day
time. No Indian can be induced
to venture nearthe locality, regar
ding it with superstitous horror
No theory is advanced by any one
to account for the strange pheno
mena mentioned. We also Learn

BEAUTIES OF RADICALISM.-
The Grant administration has in
augurated new plan Of dealing
with criminals. Grant pardoned
Bowen, the bigamist, on the
ground that he did not intend to
violate the law. Now it is stated
from Washington that the deficit
Of $40, 900 in the accounts of Ma.
val Paymaster, Washington has
been comprised, as "there are no
evidences of fruad on the part of
that officer" And yet a naval
court-martial before which Wash
ington was brought found him
guilty Of ENLIGHTENMENT, and sen
fenced him to one years imprison:
ment, and to pay a heavy fine. Ii,
as the Treasury officials say, there
were no evidences of fraud on Mr.
Washington's part, it would seem
that the court martial must have
convicted him merely for the fun
Of the thing.

INVERTED CUTTINGs.-G. P.
says that he has heard that if
willow pole or larger cutting of
a willow is put into the ground
top end down, it will make a
weeping tree, anG he wants to
know if this be true. If the cut
ting is taken from a weeping va
riety it will, otherwise it will not.
All these stories in regard 70 in
verti1g cuttings or gratis to make
weeping trees, or to produce fruits
without cores or aeeds, is sheer
folly, belonging to the dark ages
of arboriculture. Nature is not so
easily thwarted, and a little study
will show any one who is not
crammed full of superstitious non
sense, that a slight departure from
usual methods of propagation is
not going to make any particular
difference i'm final results. Boring
holes in trees AMI filling them
with sulphur, expecting that the
tree will take this substance into
its circulation, and thereby make
the fruit obnoxious to insects, is
another folly of the same sort.
There are hundreds Of such old
time hanbugs that have been the
travelling cempan5o ns of iynors-
muses. ever since fruit trees were
cultivated.-[ hoore's Rural Netr-
