An ancient story runs, that the birds
once met to choose u monarch whoever
scared the highest was to reign over them.
= Up sprang all the birds into the air, but
highest Of all rose the eagle, who after
mounting until his wearied wings could
beat no more. proclaimed himself the SOW
er-igu OF the birds But, all unperceived,
the little wren had been quietly perehing
between his shoulders, and as soon as the
eagle ceased to mount, he rose on tiny pin
ion far above the wearied eagle, and twit-
tered forth the victory of wit and intellect
over bulk and physical strength.

GRATING OLD TREEs.-In selecting old
apple or pear trees for the purpose of graft
Ing, care should be exercised 70 take only
those that retain their foliage in the autumn
This viii ensure the growing of the graft
sufficiently long firmly TO establish it, and
cause il 70 remain unaffected through the
winter. In every instance that we have
tried TO raise fruit from CRAFTS on old trees
which shed their leaves early, they bear few
specimens, and then die.
In grating old trees, boughs six inches in
diameter can be used. But such boughs only
should be selected as have a smooth bark.
Saw it at an angle SD that all moisture viii
run off; split the bark down an inch and a
half; sharpen the graft from one side only !;
let the slant be the full length Of the slit Of
the bark raise the bark carefully. aud set
the graft with the cut side to the wood; then
tie up with a string and wax so that neither
air nor water can penetrate. Let an inch
or two Of bark remain uniniured between
the gratis az they arrive around the stump.
Where the stem Is not over two inches IN
diameter, four gratis can be set by splitting
down the stem the usual way twice. If all
grow, and are too many. cut the two less
promising ones.
With care, every apple OF pear graft ought
to grow, and never less than nine out of ten.

The SECRET PLAcE.-Laborers on al
English railway lately found thrush S
nest under a rail, with the hen peacefully
sitting on four eggs, undisturbed by the
thunder of passing trains.
The strongest man as well as the weak
est child may learn lesson from the little
thrush. Her nest was her strong tower.
1t was shaken every hour, while shrill
whistles sounded, and rumbling cars rolled
over it, but she had no fears. They who
dwell in the secret place of the Most High
rest under the shadow of his wing, and
the foundations of the earth are shaken.

The MINISTRY OF CBIBpRRS.-Gfeat
and fearful is the responsibility that God
imposes upon us when He gives US chill
dren. He sends these souls tc us enianat-
ing from himself. With awe we should
receive them. With holy reverence should
we train and guide them for the Master,
Excepting flowers and children, all else to
me seems old, and tired, and worn out.
The trees look old the earth looks old !;
the stars look old. The ancients trod this
same earth; they gazed at the same stars:
they heard the roar Of tie same ocean.
All these things are associated in my mind
with the idea Of extreme old age. Only
flowers and children seem new and
fresh. They always impress me as having
been born to-day OF little child l al.

SMALL PoTAToEs FOR SEED.-Some few
years ago, when on my farm on Owasco
Lake, Cayuga Co., one Of my neighbors pro
posed that l should permit him TO plant a
piece Of ground, about two acres, near the
outlet Of the lake, on shares, each providing
one half of the required seed. When the
ground was ready for planting, he came in
the field with his share, consisting Of fine,
large, merchantable potatoes mine, on the
contrary, were all small, such as always
select for planting and feeding. When he
saw mine, he said, . You must plant your
seed by themselves, as l suppose you mean
to SOW and drag them in. " We went on
with our planting the field was well titled,
and when the time 10 dig came, TO the sur
prise of all parties, my part of the field, from
small potato sc d, were the largest and finest
potatoes no manure used, and as good a
crop as l ever raised seed cut in both in
stances.-COr. Country Gentleman.

GREASE YOUR WHEELs.-A great cause Of
unnecessary pain and labor TO many horses,
Is neglect in keeping the wheels properly
creased. q Some persons may not be aware,
says Hoover, in his work on Bipeds and
Quadrupeds, q that the triGing neglect Of
pair Of wheels being comparatively dry OF
well creased, will cause twenty miles to take
more out Of a horse than forty would in the
latter case; yet.wheels absolutely screaming
from dryness, are often seen and heard, at
tached to carts and wagons, and thus would
the brute in human form let them scream till
he had reached his journeys end or finished
his days work, though his horses were draw
ing from such cause at least one ton in four
Of resistance more than they would if the
defect were attended to-

In 1867 had a COW that came in in the
spring, and in august one days churning Of
