a nationalism operates on the as

country are identical throughout; hence
it divides them into minority and ma
iority, upon the line of diverse and iden-

using it to repress the competing inter

the relation between the nationalism

1t is your fault Wholly yours Only
by your command, or 10y your permis-
sion. can any contest take place among

the poverty, misery, and rage. Of battle
throughout Europe is simply that you
women, however good and religious,
however zeIf-sucrificing for those whom
YOU love and honor, are too selfish and
too thOughtless to take much pains for
any creature out Of your immediate cir
cles. You fancythat you are sorry for
the pains OF Others, Now, I just tell
you this; that if the usual course of war,
instead Of unrooiing peasants houses
and ravaging peasants fields, merely
broke china upon your own drawing
room tables, no war in civilized cOun-
tries would last week. l tell you
more, that at whatever moment you
choose to put period to war, you could
do il with less trouble than you take
any day to goout to dinner. You know
or at least You might know, if you
would think, that every battle you hear
of has made many orphans and widows.
We have none Of us heart enough truly
to mourn with these; but, at least, We
might put on the outer symbols Of
mourning with them. Let but every
Christian lady who has a conscience to-
ward God vow that she viii mourn, at
least outwardly, for Hiskilled creatures.
Your praying is useless, and your

you have not plain obedience in you TO

CLIPPINGS EOw THE CURIOUS.

\ gentleman and his wife, residing in
a quiet locality in our town, having no
one else beside themselves in their cot
tagc, have four weeks past been the re-
cipients of a strange, mysterious vista
ton. Thief intimation of the pres
ence Of this thing, whatever it may be,
was about a month since. Whileseated
in their parlor reading, they became
conscious of a sensation similar to that
felt when a current of cold air sweeps
through a room, which was followed by.
the appearance ola misty figure, per
fectIy transparent, yet clearly pereept-
bic, having something of the likeness
of woman, clothed in long, loose gar
ments. No distinct features were OBJ
servable, and no accurate description
could be written This figure, appari-
ton, ghost, or whatever you may choose
to call it, glided about the apartment,
passing between the occupants and be-
tween them and the fire several times,
aud disappeared with The same rush of
chillness with which it appeared. Since
that time ithas become a regular visitor
to the house, and is sometimes accom-.
panied with a low, unearthly sound,
like the unreal echo of dead melody.
Several persons other than those in
whose house it appears have Witnessed
the strange phenomenon, and all arc
unable to account for it on any rational
grounds. One of the gentleman who
witnessed the strange affair one even
ing last week, relates that when he
returned home that night he was ac-
cOmpanied by something; what it was

was tangible, The footsteps were plain
ly heard, sometimes by the side, and

RAISING FRUIT TREES FROM THE
sEED.-Mr. Czerny, of Austria, states,
as the result of long-continued obser-
vations and experiments, that the
strongest and best fruit trees can be
raised from seed, thus obviating q
a great deal Of expense and disap-
pointment to the promologist. Ac-
cording ta Shis observations, the ex-
tent and ramifcation of the roots of a
healthy tree is to that of its crown in
the ratio of three to two, SO that the
action of the roots is always prepon-
derating. In this relation he finds the
reason why fruit seeds from trees,
budded or grated upon Indifferent
stocks, have always been found unre-
liable, and he endeavors, as the first
step, to obtain good trees grown upon
their own stock, the seeds of which, he
says, will reproduce their parents with
certainty. 70 this end he layers a
branch Of good tree, which, when
well rooted, serves him as stock, into
which he Introduces buds or scions of
such varieties as promise to improve
the original fruit. By judicious cross
fertilization he obtains fruit, the seed
of which will propagate, to q greater
or less extent. the good qualities of the
varieties used in hybridizing, and
thus new fruit is originated
which, when suitable, can always be
reproduced from its seed. Such trees
says Mr. Czerny, are more healthy and
vigorous, (having never been wounded
by the kniie,) bear earlier, and when
accidentally injured in the stem, throw
out shoots Identical with those of the
original tree.

EFFECT OF VARIOUS NAEUREs on THE
GROWTH OF GRAss.-Experimen have
been recently instituted by the Agri-
cultural College at Worms, Bavaria,
for the purpose of ascertaining the
relative effect of several different ma
nures upon the growth of grass In
presenting an account of the results
obtained we may state, for the more
satisfactory understanding of the SUBJ
ject, that the morgen" amounts to
nearly three-fifths of an acre. Muck
increased the yield of hay, per morgen,
by cwt., but det0riated the quality
of the grass. But this is believed to
have resulted from the use of muck
not sufficiently seasoned by exposure
to atmospheric action. Human excre-
ment gave an increase of l3Z cwt.
per morgen, while the growth was
very thick even in the poorest places.
The COWS, however, refused to eat the
grass, although they appeared to have
no objection to the hay. 1t was be-
HeYed that the grass of the following
season would be palatable to them.-
Liquid manure from stable drains and
sinks had powerful effect, and in
creased the crop of hay by l4H cwt.
per morgen. The grass was good but
the Towering herbs disappeared. Two
cWt. of bone dust, fermented in a COM
post of earth and liquid manure, in
creased the yield of hay, per morgen,
II cWt., and developed an abundance
of white and red clover and its infiu-
ence, it was thought, would extend
through several seasons. But the best
effect as to the quality, though not the
quantity of grass, was obtained by the
application of potash salts. The grass
was fine and tender, and almost free
from the coarse herbs, with an In
creased yield of liz ,cWt. per NOR
gen.
