Charity.

We are told in classic history that
an old painter was employed to
sketch the Macedonian Emperor.
The emperor received a severe
wound upon the right temple, in one
of his famous battles, add a large
scar was left. The artist proceeded
to the work assigned him, and
sketehed the monarch leaning upon
his elbow, with his forefnger cover
ing the scar. His ingenuity was
more famous than ever. So it is
with genuine charity, which ''cover-
eth multitude of sim" Instead
of exposing the faults of others, and
holdingthem up to scorn and ridicule,
covers them with the finger of love,
except when truth and justice re-
quire them to be openly rebuked.
The way of the world is to expose
the scars of character, and set them
off in more than their real ugliness.
They are the subjects of gossip and
keen satire in the social circle; the
sparks of fire that are struck around
often kindle into fame. How much
more beautiful is that spirit which
treats the failures of others with for
bearance, while it does not excuse
iniquity in the nearest friends! That
is the secret foundation of all that
is good and true. This is the char
ity which ''sufferth long and is
kind, and doth not behave itself un2
seemly," ,"and thinketh no evil.

The Best Way to Keep Pota-
toes.

Potatoes should always be kept in
the dark. Intelligent rural house
keepers do not need to be told this;
but many others living in towns and
cities should know that potatoes ex
posed to the light for day only,
have their flavor injured; and the
longer they are exposed, the worse
they are. Never use a greenish po
tato, as such tubers are unfit for hu-
man food. When Irish potatoes are
removed from the cellar, they should
always be spread out thin on the
floor, in a cool building. If the
apartment is not dark, the potatoes
should be covered with boards, to
exclude the light. 1t is a good
practice also to cover them with
clean straw or sawdust. The in
jury done to potatoes by the light,
after they are carried from dark
cellar, is the chief reason why there
is such an universal complaint of
poor potatoes in the spring and du-
ring the forepart of summer. Every
sort of vegetables that grows in the
dark,-beneath the surface of the
nd,-should be stored in
dark apartment; while those veget-
ables and fruit which mature in the
light, will ripen more satisfactorily,
and develop more luscious flavor,
if they are stored in a light room.

Popping the Question.

One evening as 1 was sitting by
Hetty and had worked myself up to
the point of popping the question,
sez l, ''Hetty, if a feller was to ask
you to marry him, what would you
say?' Then she laughed, and sez
she, That would depend on who
asked me- Then sez /, suppose if
was Ned WillisP, Then sez she, Pd
tell Ned Willis, but not YOU That
kinder staggered me, but 1 was too
cute to lose the opportunity, and
sez | agen, suppose it was meg
And then you ought to see her pout
up her lip. Sez she, 1 don't take
no supposes.' Well, now you see,
there was nothing for me to do but
to touch the trigger and let the gun
go of. So bang it went. Sez /, .Lor'
Hetty, its me! Won't you say yes?'
And then there was such hulloba
loo in my head don't know 'zactly
what took place, but / thought Iheer-
ed 'Yes'whispered somewhere out of
the skrlmmage.

Burning Stone.

The stone, so-called, fire. proof
buildings in Chicago were only fire.
proof in name. The material Of
which most of them were made was
a limestone or marble, highly
charged with petroleum. Under 8
hot sun the smell of oil was precep-
tible. The New York Journal OF
Commerce reports an eyewitness OF
the fire as saying that he saw the
flames cross streets and lick with
long tongues at the stone buildings
opposite. The latter, as they be-
came intensely heated, emitted Jets
of gas, upon which the flames
would catch and then go out again,
repeating the operation a number of
times when presto - the stone
would apparently be in flames. Like
coal, these stones were reduced to
ashes. Mr.. Horace White, of the
Chicago Tribune, in letter to the
Cincinnati Commercial, writes: 1T
is ascertained that no stone ever
used in the business part of the city
is worth farthing in such q fire.

Farm and Household.
Musty and Mouldy Feed Inju-
Yious

Corn in musty state is the canse
of dry murrain in cattle. 1t was
discovered in Iowa by turning cat
tie in the cornfelds where the stalks
and corn had been spoiled, musted,
and become mouldy by storms and
early frosts, that many deaths oc-
tcurred, and relief was only found
by a change of feed mixed with
plenty of calf, eopperas,and sulphur.
Pigs will eat smutty corn; but by
eating it their teeth become loose,
their bristles drop out, their hind
legs become awkward and unman-
|ageable, and they loose flesh. Mules
and horses fed on musty, corn lose
their hair, suffer from engagement
of the limbs, and change of diet. at
once, only viii save them. Hens
fed on musty corn will lay eggs
without shell. The smut of corn
contains no starch no nutrition, but
poison only. The rule holds good
for smutty, mouldy stalks
Dairy products, both butter and
cheese, are often very much injured
on account of the COWS feeding in
weedy pastures. The daisy has
been known to give a decidedly Bit
ter taste to cheese, and nothing is
more essential for the farmer to
understand, who desires to put up
on the market fancy high-priced
butter, than the fact that the utmost
attention be given to the feed Of
his COWS. We have seen the cheese
Of a Whole factory tainted by leeks,
and on account of this taint great
losses were sustained. Some pas
lures, especially those recently re-
claimed from the forest, are greatly
troubled with this bad weed. The
only way of obviating the difficulty
is to eradicate the weed, but if any
one can discover a remedy or pro-
cess of taking out the taste of leeks
from butter, or of lessening the evil
in any way, it would be extremely
valuable to a great many persons

BLACK KNOT

AS l walked in gentleman's gar
den one day last summer, noticed
"a strange look of a fine plum
tree. -
''What is the matter with that
plum treeG- u stopped and in
quired, for it was covered with ugly
bfack' knots = q = 'izz''
ave do not know what it is"
said the lady, ,sfbut it is killing the
tree" Some say" she added,
''that it is made by flies punching
the bark, and laying their eggs in
side; but hardly think it is that"
No it is not that, as l have since
seen. 1t is a plant, black plant of
the fungus family, preying on the
tree and sucking the life out of it.
WHAT'S smut on our corn, rust in
our wheat field, is black knot on
our plum trees. And it kills, great
numbers. The seeds of it float in
the air. When a good;chance offers
they lodge on the limb Of some IA
vorlte fruit tree, stick to it, take
root, spread and grow, and grow and
spread, until they become the un-
slightly things called ablack knot"
l dare say you have seen them on
the trees of your garden.
People try to cut it off with a sharp
knife, but it is of no use. 1t will
kill the tree, and nothing can stop
its work of ruin.
l looked at the plum tree with
real sorrow.
''1t is a gone case, then" 1
said.
The leaves still looked green and
pretty, waving in the beautiful sun
shine; butch, those black knots all
over it. It was an ugly sight and
never to lose sticking there
till it diedt
1t made'me think of the uglier
seeds'of evil which are everywhere
floating in the air, and everywhere
seeking some fine character to fast
en- on and blacken. 1 know bows
and girls who, am afraid, have the
'.black knott fastened on them;
they have at least, ugly black spots,
which lookavery alarming.
What "a black knot lying is.
What sblack knot bad words are.
What a black knot pilfering is.
What a black knot ugiiness is.
What a black knot pride it. The
black knot disease is as bad for
people as for trees. You see it sticks
You see it deforms and defaces.
You see it blackens. You see it ruins
at last.
There is no cure at all for BLACK |
knot But there is a prevention;
and an ounce of prevention is worth |
a pound of cure, the proverb says. |
Potash in the soil will make a glas
sy coating on the straw of wheat
and the stems of the trees, which
hardens them against the attacks of
the fungi. 1t as much as says to
the bad seeds floating. round
and trying to find a place to stop,
'.No, you don't; no youSdon't. Wei
don't allow any soft orweak spots
for you to get hold Of" sgr>
That s4saprecisely the way you
should act towards the seeds of evil
lowering in the air. Harden your
self against them. On no account
let them get lodging in you. Be
well fortified.-Gazette. g.

SEEING THE POINT.

A boy returned from school one
day with a report that his scholar
ship had fallen below the usual av
erage. -
"Well, you have fallen behind this
month, have your said his father.
:Yes, SIR"
"How did that happen?'' Z
1Don't know, sir.o
The father knew, if the ,son did
not. He had observed number of
dime novels scrattered about the
house; but had not thought it worth
while TO say anything until a fitting
Opportunity should offer itself A
basket of apples stood upon the
floor. And he said;
empty out those apples, and take
the basket and bring it to me half
full of chips"
Suspecting nothing, the son obey
ed. :
. sAnd new,n he continued, 'put
those apples back into the basket"
When half the apples were re-
placed, the son said. ,5t
aFathsr, they roll off, Ican't put
in any more" p
.EsPut them in, 1 tell yon."
'tBut, father, can't put them
in" i'is..
"Put them in! No, of course you
YOU can'tput them in. Do YOU eX-
pect to fill a basket half full of chips
and then fill it with apples? You
said you didn't know why you fell
behind at school; and / will tell you.
Your mind is like that basket. 1t
will not hold more than, SO much.
And here you've been the past
month, filling it up with chip dirt
dime novels"
The boy turned on his heel
whistled, and said, eWhewl / see
the point
Not dime novel has been seen
in the house from that day to this.
Other and older persons might
well see the same point. A mind
filed with fiction hates and rejects
truth. And persons reading histo-
ry, art, science, or travels, may grow
wiser every day; but a man might
read fiction hundred years, and
know no more when he finished than
when he began.
There is real sin, and sorrow,and
suffering enough in the world for
us to pity and relieve, without vast
ing our tears over the troubles of
some fictitious Matilda Jane;"-
and there is work, and enterprise,
and adventure enough in real life to
engage our powers without resort
ing to cheap novels for inspiration
and excitement. But unfortunately
the girls who will shed as many
tears over some heroine's fictitious
sorrows as their mothers would
while peeling a pan of onions, are
the very persons who would turn
up their noses at suffering beggar,
and leave a sick person to starve un-
visited in garrett. And the boys who
would wax heroic over the great do
lngs of some count, hero, or cut
throat, are too lazy to earn an hon
est living, and are to have their
mothers walt on them and black
their boots while they lie in bed af-
ter sunrise, or smoke cigars, and
swear, to prove that they are men
Don't fill your applebasket with chip
dirt.-Ihe Christian. r..
