A little work on modern palmistry
brings together large amount Of anus

will be able TO tell fortunes as well rs
any modern Gypsy.
If the palm of the hand be long, and
the fingers well proportioned. etc., not
soft, but rather hard, it denotes the per

long life, but if overthwarted then it de
notes a short life.
Observe the finger of Mercury-that
is, the little finger; if the end of it ex
ceeds the joint of the ring finger, such a
man will rule his own house; and his
wife will be pleasing and obedient to him !;

joint. he will have shrew and she will
be boss.
Broad nails show the person to be
bashful. fearful. but of gentle nature.
Narrow nails show a person to be
inclined to mischief, and to do injury to
his neighbor.
Long nails show a person to be good

Cancellation rather than differences.
Oblique nails signify deceit and want

Greeley say the best way 20 raise
Cashmere shawls is to graft Cashmere

Greeley, being asked what was best
to put on potatoes to make them do well,
answered that ham gravy, fricasseed
Goldfish, or little fresh butter, made
them do very niccly.
Tomato trees are in blossom on Mr..
Greeley's farm. and he says he will make
the market sick next winter if the do
well. He is trying to graft those can.
ned tomatoes on the trees by the process
of vaccination, but it don't seem to work
very well yet.
A man went to Mr.. Greeley the other
day, and told him be was destitute, he
didn't even have a cent. and wanted TO
know weat he should do. Horace
scratched bis head and thought min

you do. You buy ten cylinder Hoe
press and 90 out to some station an the
Northern Pacific Railroad. away from
civilization, aud start an eight page
morning paper, and grow up with the
country.
Mr.. Greeley has given up trying to
raise anything in hot bed. He read a
great deal about raising early vegetables
in hot bed. and thought he might as
well have early vegetables as anybody, so
be planted some onion seeds in his bed
and piled on lot Of bel-clothes, and
slept on toe floor himself for two weeks
but the onions did not come up. He ex.
smined the onion seeds and found it was

says that instead of raising onions he came

Tenderest things are always deepest.
Those tears that f,w most readily, co
piously, the rivers whereof are provided
10 order, are not deep. Don't you know,
down beneath the surface of the sea,
however violent aud raging the storm
that sweeps over it away down at the
bottom where the pearls are, there is still
water. so profound that you might hear
angels whisper? Tenderness is Just like
that. Tears that are most tender are
sea deep but never weep. Christian
life and character that is most valuable,
is least verbal. The Christ of the soul
seals the lips of the body a thousand
times, because os its excess over the
Christ of the creed, or the Christ of the
senses. You will find it so. These
womanly, feminine, passive glories; this
power of suffering; this grand, spiritual
maternity in human dature, or the divine
nature, oh J how vailed. how still, how
apt to keep at home! Gentleness, pa
thence, sufferings, such virtues are preg-
nant with redemptions.
