a GooD WIrg.-The following
sentences from Archbishop Seekers
=" edding Ring" are worth reading
twice:
"Hast thou a soft heart Pit is of
Gods breaking. Hast thou a sweet
wiie?-she is of Gods making. The
Hebrews have saying, lie is not a
man that hath not woman Though
man alone may do good, yet it is not
good that man should be alone. tEv.
cry good gift and every perfect Gift is
from above A wife, though she be
not a perfect gift, is a good gift, a beam
darted from the sun of mercy. How
happy are those marriages where
Christ is at the Weddingl Let none
but those who have found flavor in
Gods eyes find favor in yours. Bus-
bands should spread mantle ofchsrity
over their wives infirmities. Do not
put out the candle because of the snuff
Husbands and wives should provoke
one ahother to love; and they should
love one another, notwithstanding
proYocations. The tree of love should
grow up in the midst of the family, as
the tree Of life grew in the garden of
Eden. Good servants are a great
blessing; good children great bles-
sing; but good wife is the greatest
blessing; and such help let him seek
tor that lacks one, let him sigh for that
hath lost one; let him delight in that
enjoys one.'

Coon BYE.-lt is hard word to
speak. Some may laugh that it should
be, but let them. ley hearts are never
kind. 1t is word that has choked
many an uttterance, and started many
"a tear. The hand is clasped, the
word spoken, we part and are out
upon the ocean of time-we 20, to
meet again-whcre? God only knows.
It may be soon, it may be never! Take
care that your goodbye be not a cold
one-it may be the last you can give.
Ere you meet your friend again, deaths
cold hands may have closed his eyes
and chained his lips forever All! he
may have died thinking you loved him
not Again it may be long separa-
ton. Friends crowd on and give you
their hands. How do you detect in
each good bye the love that fingers
there; and how you may bear with you
the memory Of these parting word;
many, many days.-We must often
seperate. Tear not yourself away
with careless boldness that defes al
love, but make your last words lingei
give your heart full utterance-and
If tears fall, what oft? Tear arc moi
unmanly.

FRUIT CULTURE-OLD ERRORS
CoRRECTED,-1. Instead of "trimmino
up trees, according to the old fashion,
to make them long-legged and longs
armed, trim them do,oa, so as to make
them even, snug and symmetrical.
2. Instead of manuring heavily in
a small circle at the foot Of The tree:
spread the manure, if needed at all:
broadcast over the whole surface.
3. Instead of spading a small circle
about the stem, cultivate the whole
surface broadcast.
4. Prefer a well pulverized clean
surface in an orchard with a moder-
ately rich soil, to heavy manuring, and
surface covered with hard crust and
weeds or grass:
8. Remember that it is better to set
out ten trees with all the necessary
care to make them live and flourish,
than to set out a hundred trees and
have them all to die from carelessness.
+. Remember that tobacco is a poi
son, and will kill insects RAPIDLY, if
properly applied to them, and is one
OF the best drugs for freeing fruit trees
rapidly of small vermin-and if better
used in this way to make men repul-
sive and diseased.

The BEsT CoTToN.--A sample OF
the finest bale Of cotton ever produced
was exhibited at the New York Cotton
Exchange yesterday. The weight of
the bale was 443 pounds, which, in the
aggregate, realized the respectable sum
Of S3,3l2 20-an average Of 81. IS per
pound. The cotton was raised by w.
b. McShaw, Lee county, Mississippi,
was picked by himself, wife and daugh-
ter in their parlor, and took the first
premium of $500 for the best bale of
short staple cotton offered at the ST.
Louis Fair, last October. Again it
took the sweepstake prize Of $1,000
offered for the best bale of either long
or short staple. After this Mr.. Nc
Shaw donated the cotton to the South
orn Educational Society, which offered
It on the st. Louis Corn Exchaugc,
and sold it to Mr.. ID. G.. Tut at thirty
cents per pound. Mr.. Tut, in turn,
presented it to the same society, when
it was again sold at twenty-five cents
per pound. Again it was presented
to the society, when it realized thirty
eight cents per pound, the buyer in
this case presenting it as formerly.
After this it was not offered for sale by
the society, but was raflled for 81 900,
and afterwards sold and resold, to be
finally purchased by Messrs. Shyrock
& Rowland, of st. Louis, who shipped
it to Messrs. Norton, Slaughter e Co.,
Of New York, for the purpose of getting
it 50 far away as to prevent it being
entered for the 81 900 premium to be
offered at the Fair in October next, as
well as to test the appreciation of
Northern factors and manufacturers of
the industry of Mrs. McShaw and
daughter whose fair hands have pre-
pared for exhibition, beyond doubt, the
finest bale Of cotton ever grown in any
country. Messrs. Norton, Slaughter
y Co. report the sale Of this cotton at
fifty cents per pound, through Messrs.
S. Mum. Son & Co., cotton brokers,
to Mr.. Earl, treasurer Of the Norfolk
and New Brunswick Hosier Company
Of New Brunswick, n. J.
At the request of Mr.. Earl, Mr..
Slaughter will write to Mrs. McShaw
for the measurement of herself and
daughter, who will be presented with
full undcrsuits manufactured from this
remarkable cotton.

THE WAY THEY Do IT.-How
the Arab ladies perfume themselves is
thus described by Sir Samuel Baker,
in his work on the Nile:
In the floor of the hut or tent, as it
may chance TO be, a small hole is ex-
cavated, sufficiently large to contain a
champagne bottle. A fire of charcoal,
or simply glowing cmbers, is made
within the hole, into which the woman
about to be scented throws a handful
OF drugs, She then takes off the
clothes or robe which forms her dress,
and crouches naked over the ftmes,
while she arranges her robe to fall as a
mantle from her neck to the ground
like a tent. She now begins to per-
spire freely in the hot air bath, and the
pores of the skin being open and moist
the volatile oil from the smoke Of the
burning perfumes is Immediately abb
sorbed. BY the time the fire has ex>
pied the scenting process is completed,
and both her person and her robe are
redolent of incense, with which they
are so thoroughly impregnated that |
have frequently smelt a party of wo-
men strongly at full a hundred yards
distance, when the wind has been
blowing from their direction. This
scent, which is supposed to be very
to gentlemen, is composed of
ginger, cloves, cinnamon, frankincencc
and myrrh, a species of sea weed
brought from the Red sea, and lastly
the horny disc which covers the aper-
ture when the shell fish withdraws itself
from the shell. The proportions of the
ingredients in the mixture are accord
ing TO taste.
