AN ANSWER.

For the Herald and Tribune.
And thou hast wished for death, and why?
Thy life has been no scene of care,
Thou hast not felt what tits to cry,
In anguish from a deep despair.
Though has not drained the bitter cup
OF sorrow, want or helpless woe;
Hast not been called to render up
Thy dearest hopes and bid them go.
Sorrow, of course, thou hast. But few
Poor mortals on this sin cursed earth.
Fer reach thine age, tho young tits true,
Without the curse that marked their
birth.
But hast thou e'er looked back to feel
That at some point, perhaps just here,
Some trivial thing had made life's veal
Which missing then is missed for e'er.
Thou hast not spoke those sad, sad words
The saddest yet of . tongue or pen,"
That fall like clods upon the boards
Within a grave,-s.It might have BEEN"
Then say not thou hast wished for death,
Accept the trust that life hath given,
And leave that sigh for those whose breath
Goes sorrow laden up to heaven.
And if when DER thy path thou see'st
That thou hast missed life's dearest goal
Till then, and not till then at least
Call death to free 4 weary soul.

Storing Winter Apples.

A correspondent of Ld,cs. Of Life, who
claims to have had extended experience, is
decidedly of the opinion that apples
keep far better when put into close boxes
or barrels, and secluded as much as pos
sible from the air. When thus stored, he
says they will come out in the spring full
and plump as when taken from tho tree.
Many varieties, as the Talman Sweet
Spitzenberg, aud those kinds that are nos
considered as long keepers, and shrivel
badly, will do we'll treated in this way.
L have, he continues, found universally,
that they keep better to let them lie with
out picking over. 1t is much better to
pile them into large bin across the eel
lar, say six or seven feet high and four or
FIVE feet wide, and cover them up tight,
than to lay them on shelves. once saw
such bin that man had kept through
the winter. About the first of April he
thought he would open the windows on tho
side of the cellar next to the bin to let in
the air, that they might keep better. i
was at his place, and he called my atten-
ton to the fact. Two windows inst over
the bin were opened about ten days or
two weeks, and the apples exactly opposite
the windows about one-third rottcd for us
much as foot in depth. and the remain
ing part on either side were not rotted ut
all. Another instance A neighbor Of
mine had about five hundred bushels in
pile in cellar. AS they became little
specked he commenced picking them over;
when about half done, got tired, and con-
cluded to let them 90. When marketed
about six weeks after, found that about
one-third of those picked over were not
fit for market, while all but about one
twentieth of the others were good. This
L have seen in numerous Instances. If
you wish to try the experiment, make n
box as tight as carpenter can make it,
and when picking from the orchard, gil it
and nail it fast. Let it lie in the orchard
till it is in danger of freezing; then put it
in the cellar. Put the same quantity OH
shelves for trial. am pretty surc one
experiment will convince.

Give the Isoys "a Chance.

One of the surest methods of attaching
by to farm is to let him have some
thing upon it for his own. Give him
small plot of ground to cultivate, allowing
him the proceeds for his own use. Let
him have his steers to break, or his sheep
to care for. The ownership of even u
fruit tree, planted. pruncd and brought Ia
bearing by his own hands. will Inspire
him with an interest that no mere reward
or wages can give. In addition to the cul-
tivation Of taste for farm life which such
taste will cultivate. the practical knowl-
edge gained by the boy will be of the
highest value. Being interested, he will
be more observant, aud will thoroughly
learn whatever is necessary for his success.
Another and equally important adj
vantage will be the occustomng him early
to feel responsibility. Many young men
though well acquainted with all the manu-
al operations of the farm, fail utterly when
entrusted with the management Of au es-
tate, from want Of experience in planning
for themselves. Ii is much better that
responsibility should be gradually assum-
ed than that a young man should he 6rst
thrown upon himself on attaining his ma

Letters Of Recommendation

A gentleman advertised for boy to as
sist him in his Office. and nearly fifty ap-
plicants presented themselves to him.
Out of the whole number he in short
time selected one, and dismissed the rest
Il should like to know" said friend,
ION what grounds you selected that boy,
who had not single recommendation"
You are mistaken" said the gentle
man he had a great many. He wiped
his feet when he came in, and closed the
door after him, showing that he was care
full. He gave up his seat instantly to that
lame old man. showing he was kind and
thoughtful. He took off his cap when he
came in, and answered my questions
promptly and respectfully, showing he
was polite and gentlemanly. He picked
up the book which l had purposely laid
upon the floor. aid replaced it on the ta-
BILE, while all the rest stepped over it or
showed it aside; and he waited quietly
for his turn, instead of pushing and crowd
ing, showing that he was honest and or
derby. When l talked with him, no
ticed that his clothes were carefully brush
ed. his hair in nice order, and his teeth as
white as milk; and when he wrote his
name, noticed that his finger nails were
clean, instead of being tipped with jet,
like that handsome little fellows, in the
blue jacket. Don't you call those things
letters of recommendation lido. and l
would give more for what can tell about
a boy by using my eyes ten minutes than
all the fine letters he can bring me-

Seeding Orchards to Grnss.

This subject has often been touched up
on, and from different standpoints. 1t is

cr it be apple. pear, cherry or plum troe.i
To wait they have not learned, and g don't

year; during the season it is cultivated
after fashion, but as it is troublesome to
plow or cultivate between tho trees. and
especially as it cndangers the life Of tho
tree to bark 1t 70 bend it, the cultivation i,
only $3.50. Frequently the ground is
seeded the second season already, because
it will be so nice to pick up the fruit out
of the tall and velvety grass, which is cx-
pected to be 10 thick md rank that no
damage will accrue to the falling fruit

When the orchard ground is cultivated to
small grain, especially oats, it is almost as
disastrous. We have known peach orch

successive crops o. oats sown m ID. The
facts are, trees ought to be cukirated for

A Lightning Rod short.

The story goes that that venerable pile,
Masonic Temple, has found itself short of
lightning rod. 1t seems that ligbtn-
ing rod man had contracted to erect rods
at two corners of the building. but recent
developments reveal the fact that at the
southeast corner. where the rod was sup
posed to run down the water-spout, only
about foot of rod was fastened ut the
top, aud another foot or SO attached to the
bottom and ran into the ground, but from
the base to the summit there were somc-
thing like . hundred feet or so missing
In short it was no lightning rod at all. The
gay deceiver who played the trick bad
simply iran the thing in tho ground"

with the other. 1t is pretty good for

PRACTICAL JOKING ExTRAoRDINA-
RY.-The London Saturday Review
tells the following tale Of an extfacrdt-
nary practical review:
We once saw the Strand thrown into
terror, confusion and distress By sAhs
nnaidcd wit Of tive bcJs !. "a cue {
those foggy, dymp December EVENING",
when the lamps looked like blurred
moons, and objects twenty yards off are
but undistinguishable, and the pavement
is as slippery as if ali the CLOWNS Of all
the theatres had been practicing the
making of butter slides for the coming
pantomines, These playful pouths had
got a suit of old clothes and some straw,
out of which they made up an image auf-
ficent'y like a man to pass muster in
that uncertain light. With this,
terfeiting the action of afFectionate sons
taking home q beloved but intoxicated
father, they would suddenly appeal in
frort OF some passing omnibubus, and
then, affecting to lose all presence of
mind, hllowaatheir helpless parents to fall
almost under the feet Of the horses. The
scene may be imagined. Terror of the
passengers, horror OF the driver, horses
down, through having been turned
sharply asidei or pulled up on the grea-
sy pavement, and the general agitation,
which eliminated when an Omnibus,
with more way on than usual, actually
passed over the body, the wretched dri-
yer, of course, suffering the mental
agonics of a homicide, until relieved by
seeing the straw intestines of his victim.
