IGNonLE DEscENr.-The following in
tcresting historical rccollections have been
revived in connection with the report that
Prince Arthur had sought the hand in
marriage of Lady Rosamond Churchill.
And from whom has Lady Churchill
descended now deemed worthy of an al
lance with the son Of the Monarch Of
Great Britain? Two hundred years ago,
in the days Of the merry, dissolutc Charles
III. among his many conqucsts over virtue
aud innocence was that of girl subse-
luently made Duchess Of Cleveland, who
became his established and, for a time.
favorite mistress. Out of the wages Of
her iniquity and profigacy she gave an
annuity to her brother John Churchill,
with which he purchased an ensignship
in the Guards. The historian Macaulav
in speak of Churchilrs marriage to Sarah
Jennings, says:
He (ChurchilD must have been enam-
ored. For he had little property. except
the annuity which he had bought with the
infamous wages bestowed on him by the
Duchess Of Cleveland. He was insatiate
of riches. Sarah was poor. and plain
girl with large fortune was proposed to
him. His love. after struggle, prevail
ed over his avarice
In worldly sense, the fidelity OF
Churchilrs love was amply rewarded. -

brought with her dowry. which, judi
ciously employed made him at length a
Duke of England, Prince Of the EN-
pire, the Captain General of great ccali-
ton the arbiter between mighty Princes,
and what he valued most, the wealthiest
subject in Europe.
That dowry thus alluded TO was the
friendship which his wife had formed with
the Princess (soon TO be Quecn) Anne,
and BY which the most extraordinary pre-
ferments were given 10 the Churchill fam
lily. Il was by this start. thus given BY
a eorrtesan. that John Churchill was en-
abled to enter upon that splendid career
which gave him the first place in the mil
itary annals Of Great Britain. and enabled
him to found family with which a scion
Of the royal house is anxious to conclude
an alliance. The Duchess OF Marlbo-
rough was great character. After the
death of her husband her hand was asked
in marriage BY one Of the richest and most
respectable of the English nobility. Her
answer was: mo one can ever share the
heart or hand that was once the property
Of John Churchill, Duke Of Marlborough. y

REMOVING RocKs.-On many farms
there are large rocks. both unsighsly and
troublesome. Where to heavy for hand
ling, blasting with powder or bursting by
water in winter are common means used
but writer in the 4uerican Farm Jour
nal gives another and safer method He
says:
Ii the rock is buried in the ground, dig
around it 50 as 10 expose the greater part
Of il, then build a wood fire around and
over il, so as TO heat il hot SThe expan-
sion caused by the heat usually causes the
rock to burst in small pieces, but ifi docs
not, draw the fre-brands quickly from the
top and dash on pail or two of cold wa
ter. This seldom il ever fails, as the sud-
den contraction Of the outer surface causes
Il to break. I saw oac broken in this way,
which contained three wagon loads. A
few trials viii show about the amount o
Gre that i required.

member saying such thing myself in the
careless girlish times. .-. .,
10 you know, girls, what il is to be a
widow? 1t is to be ten times more open
TO comment and criticism than any de-
mcislle could possibly be. 1t is to have
men gaze as you pass, first at your black
dress. and then at your widows's cap, un-
til your sensitive nerves quiver under the
iuAiction. 1t is to have one ilI1naturcd
person say, 81 wonder how long she will
wait before she marries again p and an
other answer, Until she gets good
chance, I supposey'' It is now and then
to meet the glance Of real sympathy, gen.
orally from the poorest and humblest wo-
men that you meet. and feel your eyes gil
at the token, SO rare, that it is, alas un-,
looked for. 1t is to have your dear fash
ionable friends condole you after the fol-
lowing fashion: "Oh, we'll! its dread
full loss. We knew you'd feel il. poor
dear" And in the next breath, 'iOu
will be sure to marry again, and your Wild
ow's cap is very becoming to you. 4
But it is more than this TO be widow.
1t is to miss the strony-ar that you have
leaned upon, the true faith that you knew
could never fail you, though all the world
might forsake you, 1t is to miss the dear
voice that uttered your name with a ten
derness none other could give ity Iristos

HARyEsriNG- -CcRN.-Two ends are to
be reached in the cultivation Of Indian
corn: First, the greatest quantity Of ri.
pened grain. and second. the greatest
amount and bess quantity Of fodder fsr
cattle. 80. - .....-..
Upon the proper harvesting Of the crop
much Of its value depends. There are
two principal methods enplcyed. One
is 10 cut the tops Of the stalks in carly au-
tamn and leave the ears few days more
to ripen on the stalks. The other is TO
cat the stalks Al the roots aud let che corn
ripcn and the fodder cure in the stalk -
Each plan has its advocates. Both claim
thai their way is the best. Ina ,,,,.s
The advocates Of the former theory say
that by cutting the tops of the stalks car.
ly in the season, they obtain The best fcd-
der which the stalks are capable 7cf pro-
ducing, and by leaving the ears on the
stalks until they are fully msiured. they
obtain heavier aud greater corn than can
be obtained in any other way t'H
These who advance the cutting Of The
corn at the roots claim that by cutting and
stacking at the proper time. they get all
the fodder in good condition. aud that the
corn natures better. is solid. and less sf
fccted by frost than il woul1 be if The
ears were longer exposed to the influences
Of the weather.
Considerable practical experience and
some observation have convinced ms thst
the latter is better of the two We can
think of no better way Of securing both
the corn and the stalks in the finest con.
diticn. We consider it preferable TO the
other method for the following reasons
First 1t is, on the whole, less work tc
harvest the corn by this method than BY
the other, +.. Is. ...,- 2
Second. The corn can bc cut when
quite green. if, Is is often the case. there
is danger of early frosts. We have cut
corn which was so green that it was hard
ly glazed, put it up in small stacks. and
had it ripen of in good sound corn. IL
We had cut the tops and left the ears cx-
posed to the frost. much Of the corn woulc
have been seriously damaged.
Third. When the corn is cut at the
roots, the land is lcft in good condition to
plough, while, If the ears are picked Of.
the stalks must either be cut before plough
ing. or else that work must be very i'm
perfectly performed.
II any one doubts the truth of our con-
clusicus. let him try each method. and
see if he does not like ours the best

SHRISKAaE OF GRAIN-Thc writer had
a quantity carefully measured and put up
in sacks. II remained in the barn in this
way for three months. When the sacks
were first filed the mouths could scarcely
be tied. they were 50 full. AT the end o!
three months there was apparently plenty
Of room for more. For curiosity, some OF
it was remeasured and it was found that
two quarts per bushel had fallen away,
which is loss of about seven per ccrt -
In the place where the seed is kept was
no heat or wind TO dry il up. and it may
be taken as the very lowest percentage Of
loss. Under other circumstances the loss
by saving six months may often reach as
high as twenty per cent. These things
should be CONSIDERED BY those who are in
|clincd 10 hold on for the chance of q rise.
Anc.her consideration strikes one here.
People often complain they get short
weight or measure, No doubt this Is too
often the case : but il is likely that IN semc
instances the difference is as much in
shrinkage as in intention.

Remembering there no bitterness
How sad the observation -

Suppose the motive for your act
Has been brave and true one,
That's just the reason why some folks
Will coin false aad new one
And shrug q dubious shrug, aud drop,
The sly insinuation-
But trusting Right, and waiting Light,
Accept the situation

And many curious turnings,
And some big men are only clowns,
For all your weak hear, burnings.

Than the lottiest pinchbeck station,
