A correspondent who devotes
much time to "reading up" The religi-
weeklies thinks Che reason that
hose journals afford SO much space
to quack medicine announcements is,
THAT the objects ofreligion and quack
cry are similar, because both prepare
US for another and better world.

IRIS well for people to know that a
lump of ice Is as good as a medicine
chest in the house during the summer
months: The relieving and curative
properties of ice are found more general
and valuable year by year. Smalfiumps
of ice swallowed whole, will often check
acute stomach inflammation, and will
prevent nausea If heat is applied out
side at the same time. A BIZ Of ice will
cure d%iptheria and all other throat COM
plants. To become delightfully."- cool in
summer, apply ice, wrapped in paper,
to the back of the head for one moment.
But be careful the application is not
protracted.

DOOR YARD EXPERIMENTATION.
Rural New Yorker,

a Rural New Yorker.
We have made great progress, the past
few years, in our style of gardening
Formerly every little door-yard, however
small, was cut up into labyrinth OF
narrow walks, carefully edged with
dwarf box. This sort Of needless and
unsightly patchwork is fast passing away,
and far better taste is being shown In
the smooth, soft carpets of green grass,
with the needful flower beds cut out
wherever required. Flowers are like dia-
monds; their settings should be of the
conspicuous order, and never the most
prominent feature of the two-as often
seen among the "shoddyites" in both
fashionable society and horticulture Our
florists and nurserymen still hayea con-
siderable demand for "Box," for edgings;
and it is pity, although tbs true that we
have so much bad taste shown in our
suburban gardens seo ie9as69 s
Sometimes the grounds are cut up into
walks resembling an old-fashioned patch
bed quilt Of many colors, and the pro-
prietor, not wishing to be outdone in the
way Of variety, crowds thousand species
and varieties of plants into space where
a hundred would be far better number,
and show to better advantage. This try
ing to see how many varieties can be
grown, has been q curse to pomology, and
is rapidly running Horticulture. A dozen
plants, we'll grown, show better taste and
Judgment than a hundred, as far as gem
orally seen. to
We hope our readers will remember
this when making their selections of
seeds and plants this spring. Choose only
a few OF the very best, and of species
that will sgiveea succession of bloom
throughout the season, and bestow upon
these all the care that would have been
given to many, and see if greater salts.
faction and better results will not be de.
rived therefrom. 81 III
We know of man who cultivated
three hundred varieties of Gkddioi last
summer; but. one tenth of the number
properly selected, would have furnished
all the beauty and other merits found in
the entirelot. To strive for the very best
is commendable but to seek to obtain
everything, is like trying to gain an edu-
cation by studying everything and know
ing nothing thoroughly.

BLESSING ON AND THANKS FOR

A story of the courtship of John Brown
of Haddington, has been at last put into
a book-but IN my young days heard it
in the Lowlands of Scotland, and il is
believed to be entirely true. This John
Brown was author of the Marrow of
Divinity" and other theological books,
which ar, held in high esteem by the
Scottish people He courted a lady up-
ward of six years. He was so singularly
modest and bashful that he had never
ventured to kiss. her. One day it occurred
to him that it would not. be a bad thing
to do. So, it is recorded; he said, ''Janet,
ma woman, we've been acquainted now
for six wears. aan'-aG'-I'ye never had a
kiss yet Dye think Imay take one, my
bonnie lass?,' The reply was wonder
fully Characteristic of the Scottish maid
en-. 'tJist as We like, John" said she,
''0nIy be 66conairs' and proper ac5 at )" Sure
ly, Janet" said John, well ask bless
in" The blessing was asked, and the
kiss exchanged. 30, womar," said the
enraptured but still deyout minister, go,
woman, but it's guide; we'll moo return
thanks" And they did.
I'VE think John Brown, of Hadding
ton, had never read understandingly,
Paul and Peter on kissing. II he had
he was very dilatory in obeying their in.

Al Boston confectioner now sends out
ice cream in paper boxes, the loss OF
numerous tin cans suggesting the new
idea. The paper boxes are said to
be so constructed as to answer
allthc purposes of tins or cans, and keep
the cream in good condition. This, it il
we'll said, is about as near accomplishing
the feat of eating soup with fork as Il
is possible to come. This is an age OF
improvement. We shall next hear oil

ALsIKE CLovER-In the spring of 1868,
bought one pound of seed for which |
paid $110; this I sowed on about fifty
rods of land sowed to wheat.
The seed came up well, and
some OF the plants blossomed
the first year. The soil was part clay
and part hemlock muck. The next
spring it came up thick and grew about
three feet high on the clay, and one foot
on the muck 1t begins to bloom the
first of June, and continues in blossom
until the middle of September. I cut for
hay about two thirds of it; the rest cut
for seed, from which I got twenty eight
pounds of seed, which sold readily for
81 per pound. have seeded since then
with Alsike and Herdsgrass, for it does
not winter kill like the red clover, (for
it has fibrous root,) and is far better for
hay, and will cure as soon as the other
grass. The harder and moister the
clay, the better it grows. For bee keep.

ORCHARD GRAss.-A correspondent of
the New England Farmer, A w. Chez
yer, Sheldonville, Mass, says:-"The
more become acquainted with this grass
the better [ like it. Not the least among
its merits is its hardness. 1t stood the
hot, dry weather last summer better than
any other valuable grass with which |
am familiar. 1t should be sowed thick.
/ think two bushels not too much seed
for an acre; and 1t must be cut early, be-
fore it is in full bloom, to have the hay
of the best quality On rich, moist land
it is as sure to yield three crops in q year,
as is red-top to give one. Unlike clover,
it never inclines to blossom but once in a
season; the second and third crops are
mostly leaves, and the best feed for cows
in winter ever grew. 1t is a good grass
to sow in early spring with clover, but
without grain. Two good crops of leafy
hay may be counted on the first year, and
three crops year afterwards, as long rs
the land will carry it out. believe it
the best of grasses to SOW where intend
to keep the crop up by top dressing.
The dressing should be spread immedi-
ately after removing the hay, and should
be we'll pushed down; then the new
crop will come up, and in very few
| days cover the ground and keep it from
drying. | would recommend it to any
one who is not afraid to begin haying
the last of May or the first of June. By
the 10th of June it is in full bloom in this
latitude, and past its best condition for
hay. I have grown it five years, and like
| it so well that I intend to SOW it this
spring on the whole of my reclaimed
meadow" gu ar

KISS ME.-A very funny incident oc.
Cured in neighboring city few days
since and one which is too good to be
lost. One of our celebrated composers
has written very pretty soRg entitled,
"Kiss me-" A very pretty, blushing
maid, having heard of the song, thinking
she would get it, with some others, stepp-
ed into music store to make purchase.
One Of the clerks, a modest young man,
stepped up to wait On her. The young
lady threw back her veil, saying:
I" / want Rock me to Sleep"
The clerk got the song and put it be-
fore her.
"Now," said the young lady, II want
The Wandering Refugee.
/" Yes, ma'am." said the clerk, bowling,
and in few minutes he produced the
Refugee"
+" Now, Kiss Me-" said the young
lady, of course meaning the song above
mentioned.
The poor clerks eyes popped fire
almost as he looked at the young lady in
utter astonishment, for he was not aware
of the fact that song by the name had
been published. a s
" Wh--what did you say, Miss %
" KISS Ne," said she.
g / can't do it; [ never kissed q young
lady in my life" said the clerk.
And about that time veil dropped, a
young lady left in hurry, clerk felt
queer, and dealer lost the sale of some
music.

Of the State appropriation, by employing teachers
who do not hold valid certificates The school

"that the schools of the district have been kept
open at least four months, according to law and

gagged in teaching, whose certificates cease to be
valid, shonld be compelled to quit until their GER

which the law heretofore was violated only received
their share of the State appropriation through

ports and no report of districts in which teachers

raising corn, but win furnish the secret free Of
