A California editor, warned by re-
cent events, turns over n new social
leaf in these words: "All mems wives
who have hitherto enjoyed our ac-
auaintanee, are hereby notified that
this ceases to-day, never to be re-
newed. Somebody perishes inglo-
riously every day for being on speak
ing terms with married women, and
we do not care to have our turn come
around. Deeply grateful for the
past forbearance of aggrieved hus-
bands, we make our bow and retire.
Hereafter our mods and smiles will

THE SEED AND FRUIT.

'Tis not its blood that bursts the vine
When In the press it's trampled on,
But healing, sacramcntal wine,
The Holy Grail-t cup divine
Christ's life frec-given for our own.
IT'S not with angry stroke, but kind,
The sculptor hcws the marble stone,
His blows, their scars, IL we will mind,
But loose the angel there confined
Anangel from shapelcss stone!
Twas not In wrath the Psalmist old
His inspired hand swer Ser the strings
And vexed his harp with beating bold:
A purer, hoiier music rolled
Fen from its sharpest quiverings.
And thus In all the worlds great round,
When We its meaning full divine
From fiercest twangs the sweetest sound
BY sharpest strokes the soul unbound:
From sorcst bruise the sweetest wine.
SO Ia the faith now tossed with fear
All seeming ills shall prove TO be,
Each one the seed for harvcsts near:
"Though Christ was dead he Is not here;'
Ere We the resurrection see.

II is related by an estimable and
very pious lady, whose exertions in
every work of charity and benevo-
lence have endeared her to our COM
munity, that on her way TO Sabbath
school one bright sunshinny morn
ing, she saw several boys, one of
whom was a newsboy, seated in a
doorway playing cards-one of them
being Sunday school scholar of the
lady. She stopped and insisted that
they should accompany her to
chnrch. After some persuasion the
three Oldest consented, but the
youngest, lad of some six years,
persistently refused. "Why don't
you come, my boy?" said the lady:
-'it's very wrong in you to refuse. y
but don't want to 60" "Why,
uhat is the reason?" The impa-
thence of the little fellow waxed des-
perate, and in an indignant voice he
exclaimed, his hand full of cards,
Would you go to the Sunday school
with n hand full of trumps like
that 2"

HINTS TO FARMERS.

The Eat Contributor of the
Cincinnati Times, contributes the
following hints, which may be of
use to our agricultural readers:
Now that Winter is approaching,
it would, perhaps, be as well TO dis
continue haying, and turn your at
tention to getting in your fall saw
logs. No farmer can consider his
Fall work complete until he has his
cellar well supplied with saw-logs.
Seated around blazing hearth of a
Winters night, there is no fruit
more delicious.
A correspondent asks us what we
think of late plowing. Flowing
should not be continued later than
10 or IL o'clock at night. 1t gets
the horses in the habit of staying
out late, and unduly exposes the
plow. We have known plows to
acquire spring halt and infiamma-
tory rheumatism from late plowing
Don't do it.
To another correspondent who
Nsshts' w gu r,r-'0F7t ~ f9t'a hAbAh VII -
farm. we would say heavy mort
gage at ten per cent. will drain it
about as rapidly rs anything we
know of.
A pick-ax should never be used in
picking apples. 1t has tendency
to break down the vines and damage
the hive.
In sowing your apple-iacka horse
rake will be found preferable to a
step-ladder. Step-ladders are liable
to freeze up, and are hardly palata-
BILE unless boiled with sugar.
The coming cold weather should
suggest to the humane farmer the
necessity for new cow-shed. The
following is receipt for making a
good cow-shed: Pour a pailful OF
boiling hot water on her back, and
if that don't make good cow-shed-
her hair-we are no prophet, to any
body.

A New York paper gives this ac-
count of a female Bluebeard:"
Louis Mitchell, the present husband
of Caroline Mitchell, who lives in
Jersey City, says she was first mar
ried in 1885, to a man named Dar-
nish in the Dutchy of Posen, then to
n doctor called Kahn, then to n
butcher called Rack, whose arm she
cut of with meat chopper, and to
save herself from being put in prison
fed to New York. She then mar
ried a man called Brief, and finally
settled down for her hast marriage
with Louis Mitchell, with whom she
has lived for the past twenty-five
years.
