From the Farmer G. Gardener.
Turnip CrO:.

Where Turnips are to be planted a
thorough preparation Of the land is
the first step to insure a good crop.
The soil should be well broken up
with a two horse plowto the depth of
10, or II inches, then well narrowed
with a two horse hinged harrow, that
will thoroughly. pulverize and level
the land; this work should be done
about the lst of July. If compost or
stable manure is well rotted it might
then be applied in the drill, but if
not well rctted, it is better to apply
::tbroadcast; rebreak the land, and
re-harrow whicq will more fully pull
verize, and equalize the emanure. Then
lay off the rows % feet and apply
about 200 lbs. Of Barry's chemical
fertilizer to the acre, as you would to
cotton, then plant with Machine
which will drill from a pound, to two
pounds of seed to the acre to insure
stand. When the turnips show the
second leaf, they should.be thinned,
by. chopping out with narrow hoe
to or 5 inches, then thinned with
the fingers to one in a palace. When
about half grown, they can be re-
thinned by taking out every other
hill, which will leave them at s to 10
inches part and at the greatest dis
tance will leave 2ll6S Turnips to an
acre these at cent apiece will be
over 5000 per acre. After the thin
ming, one ploughing will be sufficient
for the cultivation, as the plants grow
so rapidly, they soon overshadow all
other vegetation, that is, if the land
is properly prepared and enriched
before the seed are sown. For feed
ing sheep and cattle, there is no 9TH
er crop thatis as valuable for Win
ter and Spring feeding combined with
a little good hay Of any KIND. By
sowing different varieties OF Turnjps,
the early varieties or such as do net

or taken up and banked, or placed

antd,ing be more IN place, look more
beautiful, than that children should
bear Il dear father, or y beloved moth
er to the grave? When we could
not walk, and our feet stumbled, and
our knees were weak, they lifted US
up and bore us tenderly in their

'eet aud hands, they sang us to sleep
md laid US 10 rest in the old cradle.
And now That they,vcan walk no

love, why shall we not taxa them up
in our strong arms and bear them pa
tiehtly and lovingly down to the
graves side, and nestle them away
to rest in its bed under the. old oak
tree. even though our hearts are too
full for song. And why should a
father not preach his child's funeral
sermon, if he be preacher? One
such instance we have. When Dud-
ley A. Tying was carried to his grave,
his venerable father stood up in his
sons pulpit, so suddenly made vacant
by an awful death, and preached a
fun neral sermon. And it was a great
tribute he brought to his child. The
words were a father 's-deep, true,
fearful holy. He had right to
speak.

The Good Wife.


1t is Just as YOU say, neighbor Green,
\ treasure indeed is my wife;
Such another for hustle and work
have never found in my life.
But then she keeps every one else
AS busy as birds on the wing,
The1e is never moment Of rest,
She is such fidgety thing!
She makes the best bread in the town,
Her pies are perfect lelight,
Her coffee rich golden brown,
Her crullers and puddings just right;
But then while eat them she tells
OF the care and worry they bring,
OF the nartyr-like toll she endures;
o, she's such fidgety thing!
My-house is as neat as a pin:
You should see how the door handles
shine
And All the soft cushioned chairs,
And nicely swept carpets are mine.
But then she so frets at the dust,
AT a fly, at straw, or string,
That I stay out of doors all can,
She is such fdgety thing!
She doctors the neighbors? o, yes;
If a child has the measles or Group.
She is there with her rsaffrons and squllls,
Her dainty-made gruels and soup.
But then she insists on her right
To physic my blood in the spring,
And she takes the whole charge Of my
Oh. she is such fdgety thing!
She knits all my stockings herself;
My shirts are bleached white as snow !;
Ny old clothes look botter than new,
Yet daily more threadbare they grow
But then if morsel of lint,
Or dust to my trowsers should cling.
I'm sure of one sermon at least,
She is such fidgety thing!
You have heard of spirit so meek,
So meek that it never opposes,
It's own it dares never to sneak
Alasl am meeker than Moses.
But then am not reconciled
The subordinate music to sing;
submit to get rid of row,
She is such fidgety thing!
It's just as you say, neighbor Green,
A treasure to me has been given;
But sometimes fain would be glad
To lay up my treasures i'll heaven
But then every life has its cross,
Most pleasures on earth have their
sting,
She's treasure know, neighbor Green,
But she's such fidgetS thing!

Ear-rings and other Trinkets

What barbarism to bore a hole in the
flesh and stick in q trinketl i have seen
several ears in which the ring had cut its
way out, making a slit, and new hole
had been punched in one of the pieces.
Men have fallen into this vulgar barbar-
ism. American savages offer many in
stances of men with gold or silver trim
kets in their ears. But among lower
savages, in different parts Of the world,
the custom is quito general, and many
of them add an ornament in the nose.
What vulgar show you sometimes see
among the demi-monde-a dozen great
gold and jeweled rings on the fingers,
two large rings or hoops about the wrists,
a great buckle in the belt, gold chain
about the neck, a gold watch, several
charms, locket or two, breast-pin-
what a barbarous, vulgar show; poor
things, / suppose they think it helps to
advertise their unhappy trade.
My dear girls, leave this trinket show
to the Indians and use no other jewelry
than a neat, small pin to hold the collar
and delicate, small chain to guard
your watch. The watch should be in a
pocket and not slipped under the belt
The belt must be mischievonsly tight to
hold the watch. To wear watch pushed
half way under the belt is to constantly
expose it to accident, and at best to
make q vain announcement of the fact
that you have one. In England it is a
common remark, that you may know a
nobleman by his plain dress, and by the
absence of all jewelry. And | will add,
that everywhere you may know shoddy
pretender by an excessive display of
jewelry. No person of really fine cul-
ture delights in an exhibition Of trinkets
or gew-gaws of any kind. The refined
soul cannot make an ornamental parade.

EReats of Laughing Casa Lady
Rendered Insane.

AeHUtEcu AnSNhCs
The, Cincinnati Commercial has the
A lady in Cumminsyille, for the past
two weeks, has been showing signs Of
insanity for several days. She would
run her servant girl out Of the house,
and threatened her with destruction oc-
casionally. Her husband is q stair
builder, and was the most afeetionate
and indulgent spouse toward his wife
possible, but it was found necessary to
have a lady living close by to attend to
:; or and keep her company for fear. that
she miIght commit some serious injury.
Yesterday i was found necessary to ap-
ply to the courts for certificate OF her
insanity. and convey har to Longygiew;
1t required the combined sfepgtn OF
four men to put her in the carriage o.
Cumminsville, and she uttered the most
heartrending cries for her two children,
whom she left behind. In her frantic
efforts in the morning with her husband,
who was trying to pacify her, she tore
his shirt into shreds. 1t was sad scene
to witness this poor woman, who, only a
few weeks ago, enjoyed the use OF her
reason. tied hand and foot in a close
carriage, and taken to the institution at
Carthage.
The insanity of the unfortunate lady
is attributed TO the use Of laughing gas,
which was administered to her a few
weeks ago by stupid dentist in the city
who extracted several of her teeth. She
was of a very nervous temperament, and
when it was found that the nitrous oxide
had produced an injurious effect, a por-
ton was administered 10 quiet her nerves,
which, however, had no beneficial result
Since that time she has been growing
worse daily, and this, coupled with the
fact that she has been troubled with the
unsolicited attentions Of certain religious
fanatics, pressing her to join their church
and have her children educated in the
faith of their peculiar religion, no doubt
caused her insanity. go
