A Ring of Saturn Lost.

Prof. Struve, the distinguished
astronomer of Pnltowa, has been
for years watching the rings OF
Saturn; and the inner one of the
three rings, an obscure, partly
transparent mass Of what appear
cd to be vapor, has been seen 10
approach the body of the planet,
and to widen its distance from
the other rings, which seemed to
be fluid in character, or perhaps
made up of myriads of small
bodies, moving together like the
streams of meteors which supply
the periodic showers. But during
several months past, this inner
ring has fallen more rapidly, and
finally the attraction of Saturn
entirely overcame the centrifugal
force, and it closed upon the body
of the planet, forming a belt,
which was gradually diilused over
its surface, so that there is now
no trace whatever of the ring
left. Is this to be the fate also
of the other rings? or will they
ultimately gather into satellites,
as has more commonly been sup
posed!

Mutual Forbearance.

If we wish to succeed in life, we must
learn to take men as they are, and not
as they ought to be; making them bet
ter if we can, but at the same time re-
membering their infirmities. We have
to deal, not with the ideal man ofdream-
ing poets, but with the real men of ev-
ery-day lite,men precisely like ourselves.
This fact of common aims, ambitions
and imfirmities ought to create constant
sympathy and forbearance. While
every man has his own burden to bear,
he may at the same way, help another to
bear his peculiar burden, and be himself
helped in turn. God has mysteriously
linked all men together by this curious
fact of mutual dependence, and this
wonderful possibility of mutual help.

How to Make Farm Life At
tractive.

1. By less hard work. Farm
ers often undertake more than
they can do well, and consequent
ly work too early and too late.
2. By more system. The farm
ers should have time to begin
and stop labor. They should put
mind and machinery into their
work. They should theoriZe as
we'll as practice, and let both 20
together. Farming is healthy,
moral, and respectable; and,in the
long run, may be made profitable.
The farmer should keep good
stock, and out of debt.
3. BY taking care OF health.
Farmers have a healthy variety
of exercise, but too often neglect
cleanliness, eat irregularly and
hurriedly, sleep in ill-ventilated
apartments, and expose them
selves needlessly to cold.
4. By adorning the home.
Books, papers, pictures, music,
and reading,should all be brought
to bear upon the indoor fanny
entertainments; and neatneSS
and comfort, order, shrubbery,
flowers and fruits should har-
all without. There would
be fewer desertions of old home
steads if pains were taken to
make them agreeable. Ease,
order, health, and beauty are
compatible with farm life, and
were ordained TO go with il.

Gods Protection of Young
Deer.

An old Canadian hunter declares that
the reason why the wild deer were not
killed when young (as they art
bred but once year and are surround
ed by other animals which prey upon
them, as dogs, wolves, bears, panthers,
etc., is, that "no dog or other ami
nal can smell the track ofa doe or fawn,
while the latter is too young to take
care of itselfr' He said that he had Of
ten seen it demonstrated. He had ta-
ken his dogs over the ground where
he had just before seen them pass, and
they would take no notice OF the track,
and could not be induced to follow them
when taken TO the spot, while they
would instantly discover the track of
any deer not having young ones. This
is but one proof Of the adoption of the
natural laws to preserve life when it
most needs protection.

Farm and Household.
Pertaining to Plaster.

At a late meeting of the New
York farmers Club, w. N. Tom
linson, of North Urbana, N. Y,
asked the servants toreconcile the
difference of opinion which pre-
walls as to the proper way of sow
ing plaster with grain crops, some
choosing to drill it in the seed,
while others prefer to scatter ON
the surface, after the seed is sown.
at is claimed that by putting it
in with the seed it helps the crop
from the outset, giving a start
which keeps it ahead of surface
plaster crops. On the other hand,
it is argued that, as the principal
gain in the use of plaster is de-
rived from secures this, and hence
it is to be preferred. What says
practical science? Would the an
swer vary with different soils?
Mr.. Curtis plaster is an alb
sorbent of ammonia, it is better
to SOW it on the crop and let the
rains following wash it down to
the roots. This is a gain to the
plant, for if first put into the
ground it will absorb the am
monia in the soil which is already
there, or.it must wait for expos
ure to the surface to do It's full
duty, which exposure might not
take place until the next crop
Plaster does but little good on
wet ground, and its benefits vary
considerably one season with an
other. Sometimes its effects are
almost marvellous, and then again
they cannot be seen. On dry
loan or gravelly soil sown on
clover, it often. doubles the crop.
In Glenville, n. Y, lands reject
ed fifty years ago as worthless,
now are, by using clover and
plaster, worth one hundred and
one hundred and fifty dollars per
acre. Sow plaster on the manure
heap and in the hen house.

A Lesson in Conversation.

If our talk is to prosper, the subject
of it must be led up to gradually. 1t
must be led up gradually and what is
more, naturally the conversation reach
ing it by easy stages, and, as one may
say, in the course of nature. And this
leading up must, you are entreated to
remember, be the work of destiny, and
by no means brought about by you who
wish to profit by it. NeXtin magnitude
to the fault of dragging in your subject
neckand heels, is the error ofleading up
to it yourself in a forced and unnatural
manner. You must wait for your OPP
portunity. Selfcontrol and patience
are as necessary to the attainment of
conversational, as of any other distinc-
ton.
You must be patient then, but you
must also be vigilant; combination of
equalities rare but indispensable to those
who would be great in anything. You
must hold your remark, your descrip-
ton, your story, or whatever it is, in
check,as skillful gillie does deerhound
but you must be ready to let it slip when
the right moment comes. If that mo-
ment is missed, your chance is gone.
Not the proverbial mutton, not Queen
Anna herself, are more utterly dead
than is subject which has once been
disposed of and dropped. You cannot
revive it; to assert that such resusciation
is possible would be to mislead many
unoffending and, perhaps,deserving per-
sons.
If good thing comes into your head
after the opportunity for letting it loose
upon the society has gone by, the best
thing You can do is to gulp it down al
together or keep it by you, in case
a use for it should come in the course of
time.-The COrRhiH Magazine.

THE WHOLE STORY.


Oh, yes-I'n tell you the story.
The very words that were said:
You see the supper was cooking.
And i was slicing some bread
And Richard came into the pantry,
His face was exceedingly req.
And ne opened his half-shut fingers,
And gave me a glimpse of a ring:
And then-oh, yes, remember,
The kettle began to sing,
And Fanny came in with her baby,
The cunningest bunch of thing.
And the biscuits were out in minute,
Well. what comes next? Let me see
Oh, Fanny was there with her baby,
And We all sat down to tea;
And grandma looked over her glasses
~ queer IT Richard and me-
gnt it wasn'ttill after milking
That he said what he had to say.
How was it? Oh! Fanny had taken
The baby and gone away
The funniest rogue of fellow
He had 4 new tooth that day.
We were standing under the plum tree.
And Richard said something low,
But | was tired and fiustered,
And trembled, 1 almost know;
For old Red is The hardest of mixers.
And Brindle, so horrible slow.
And then-let me see-where was /:
Oh, the stars grew thick overhead,
And we two stood under the plum tree
Till the chickens Gew up to bed,

And that is-AGout what he said.

IMPORTANT FROM ROME
A Papal Crusade Threatened.

A letter IRON Rome, dated February
13, to the Pail MaH Gazette, says: That
we should hear of a crusade toward the
end of the nineteenth century will
probably not be thought strange in thi:
age of events; and, after the proclama-
ton of the dogma of Infallibility, the
Court of Rome may be deemed capable
of engaging even in this folly. 1t seems
certain that forces for the recovery Of
the Pontifical States are being mustered
in Belgium, a country whose indepen-
dence rests on its neutrality, and that,
when ali is ready, the Pope will leave
Rome and put himself at. their head to
lead them to the field. The Questor OF
Rome had just seized at house in the
Corso photographic stone, representing
the bronze cross assumed by the Crus-
aders on their enrolment. l send you a
fac simile of this badge, which bears on
one side the inscription; "Cruciata Cath
olica Militia Jesu Christi" &C., &c., and
on the other the words-"Christus vim
cit: Christus regnat; Christus imperat
in aternum; pro Petri Sedee Ecclesia."
The whole is surrounded by royal
crown, with the motto, "ReX Regium."
Funds are pouring into the Vatican
sufficient to meet every expense. Dur
ing last month the Pope received 1,10l,-
600 francs, and since the 1st of FEBRUARY
this sum has been swelled by 100000
francs more. Nearly all the officers of
the disbanded Pontifcal army, and the
bulk of the soldiers, have embraced the
crusade, and are now receiving their
old pay, while volunteers are mastering
in every part of the continent. General
Kenzler is in Belgium, and the day be-
fore yesterday Commander Filippani
proceeded no Brussels with dispatches
for the Nuncio and the Archbishop of
Malines, which are believe to relate to
the expedition. An attempt will be made
at the same time to effect Papal rising
in Rome, and Monsignor de Merode is
laboring zealously to prepare this mine.
