HERBS AND FRUIT.-All householders
who are fortunate enough to own gar
den, says some one, should have bed
devoted to the cultivation of herbs. A
writerin New York paper goes further
and demonstrates that by cultivating a
certain herb near the roots of fruit trees,
you preserve the latter while enjoying
the benefit of the former. He says he
once knew a large peach tree which was
more than forty years old, while several
generations of similar trees in the same
soil had passed away. This led to an
examination, and bed of tansey was
discovered about the trunk. It was ma
tural1y inferred that the preservation Of
this tree to such green old age was at
tributable to the presence of this plant.
1t was decided to Try the experiment on
others, and accordingly few of the
roots were placed about each of the other
trees on the premise, some of which gave
signsof decay. Not only has it preserved
them for several years, but renovated
those that We're unsound. The Odor of
this plant, he says, doubtless keeps off
the insect enemies of this kind of tree,
and would hare the same effect ON 9TH
6rs, as the plum, apple and pear, as well
as the sycamore and other ornamental
| trees.

MARRIED VERY YoUNG.-In the Paris
Court of Correctional Police, recently, a
lady, by no means young, advanced
coquettishly to the witness stand to
give her testimony.
What is your name?'
"Virginie LOustatot."
How old are you?"
"Twenty-fve.n Exclamations of in
credulity from the audience).
The lady's evidence being taken, she
regained her place, still coQuettishly
bridling; and the next witness was in

young man.
"What is your name 2" asked the
judge.

Five Points in Fellowship.

Brothers come and let lis ponder
What we Mas0ms vowed to do,
When, prepared, at yOnder altar,
We assumed the solemn VOW;
Foot and knee, breast, hand and check
Let them now our duties speak.
Foot to foot ON mercy's errand.
When we hear brothers cry,
Hungry. thirsty, barefoot, naked,
With Gods mercy. let us fly;
This of all our thoughts the chief
How we best may bring relief.
Knee to knee, In earnest praying.
None but God to hear or head,
All our wees and sins cOnfessing,
Lot us Tor each other plead;
Let the spirit of our call
Be to pray for brothers all.
Breast to breast; in sacred caskct,
At life's centre let us seal
Every truth to IFS entrusting,
Nor one holy thing reveal:
What a Mason vowed to shield
Let him die but never yield!
Hand to back: brothers falling
See, his burdens are too great
Stretch the generous hand and hold him
Up before it is too late:
Each right hand is a MasOn's prop
Made to hold another up.
Cheek to cheek in timely warning,
When the tempter strives to win,
Urge o brothers bOundless duty,
Warn him of approaching sin
Warn him of the deadly snare,
Win him with a brothers care.
Brothers! often let us ponder
What we Mas0n's vowed to do,
When prepared at y0nder altar
We assumed the solemn vow;
Foot and knee, breast, hand and cheek,
Let them oft our duties speak

THE DOCTOR AND SExToN.-A good
Massachusetts doctor met sexton i'll
the street one day. After the usual sa-
lutatiOn the doctor began to cough.

"Look here, Mr.. Sexton,o said the
doctor, with show of Indignation,
"what is your charge for interment ="

Words derive their power not from
their number, but from the directness
and intensity with which they are
delivered. Max Muller says !" A we'll
educated person in England, who has
been at the public school and at the
University, who reads the Bible, Shakes
peare, the London Times, and all of
Mudie's library &C. l., nine twentieths of
all the books published in England, J
seldom uses more than three or four
words in actual conversation. Accu-
rate thinkers and close reasoners, who
avoid vague and general expressions,
and wait till they find the word that
larger stock, and eloquent speakers
may rise To command OF ten thousand
Millions words are built up with eight
thousand, and the Old Testament says
all it had to say with five thousand SIX
hundred and forty -two.n

The Voice Of God.

I heard Thy rotce in the garden, aud mas
AFRAID"
Amidst the thrilling leaves thy voice
At evenings fall drew near,
Father! and did not man rejoice
That blessed sound to hearl
Did not his heart within him burn,
TOuch'd by the solemn tone?
Not so for never to return,
Its purity was gone.
Therefore, midst holy stream and bower,
His spirit shook with dread,
And call'd the cedars in that hour,
To veil his conscious head.
Oh! in each wind, each fountain flows,
Each whisper in the shade
Grant me, my God! thy voice to know,
And not to be afraid!

The noble manner in which some men
conduct themselves in the hour of dan
ger was illustrated recently in panic
which occurred on an East River steam
er, caused by an accident to the machi-
merry. One man snatched hfe-preser-

cased his own manly chest with it, while
another provided himself with six life
preseryers, and was in the act of putting
them all on, one oyer another, when he

To CLEAN BLACK CLoTH.-Dissolve
one ounce of bicarbonate of ammonia in
one quart of warm water. With this IL
quid rub the cloth, using piece of fam
mel or black cloth for the purpose. After
the application of this solution, clean the
cloth well with clear water, dry, and iron
it, brushing the cloth from time to time
in the direction of the fibre.

To CLEAR MUDDY WATER.-A little
dissolved alum is very effective in clear

and pure. In times of scarcity of water,
this, may be used again for washing
clothes,

A CLEAN SHIRT.-THE PERIL OF
CHANGING LINEN IN THE CARs.-A
good story came with the overland train
some time ago. Among the passengess
was a young man possessed Of a judi
cious spirit of economy and pardon
able share of vanity. The judicious
economy was made manifest to the
other occupants of the car by the fact
that the young man wore plain clothing
and single Cheviot shirt all the way
from Chicago; and for the pardonable
yanity-well, how that became apparent
is where the joke comes in. Hehad only
been to the East on visit, and the girl
he left behind had been notified in ad-
vance Of his approach, and, in company
with few other friends was to meet
him at Niles station.
Visions of rapture foated through his
brain, and seating himself in a secluded
corner of the car he poured forth his
spirits gladness in rush of melody,
somewhat as thus:

To me-he-eat my friends once more
Suddenly he hushed his notes of JOY
and reached forward for his carpet bag.
The appalling idea flashed across his
mind that the shirt which had done him
so much good service-which had chung
to him during the tOilsOme journey
across two thousand miles of mountain,
plain and desert--was not exactly the
thing to appear in when one wished to
intensity an already good impression.
1t certainly wouldn't be the clean thing,
he said to Ohimself-it wouldn't be justice
to the shirt, So he resolved to change.
But how? The car contained several
lady passengers, and they watched every
thing that was going on around them
with an, assiduity that did honor to the
sex. "Ah, ha! stI-rr-rategy my boy "
said this TesOlute young man unto him
self. " The tunnel-we are approaching
the tunnel. With good management I
can do the deed in the long tunnel just
beyond SunOl;" and with heavenly
smile upon his manly features he grace
fully lifted his carpet bag from the floor,
unlocked it, and drew forth snowy
shirt, with nice frilled bosom. Then
from another recess he drew little
packet containing a pair of handsome
sleeve buttons and set OF studs, which
were quickly adjusted i'll their proper
places. Casting u careful glance from
the window, he saw that the train was
not far from the tunnel where the meta
morphosis was to take place, and so he
turned his back upon the other passen-
gers, and began to loosen sundry-but-
tOns-in short, prepared to shuck HIM
self. Presently the eventful moment
came. The iron horse plunged into the
dark recesses of the tunnel and the car
was shrOuded i'll impenetrahle darkness.
Presently ray of light cleaned in fan
tastic shapes along the rugged wall of
the tunnel, and by its faint glimmer a
struggling figure was discernable in tho
direction of the young mans seat. AS
the light became stronger, its giratiOns
grew more frantic. It's great long arms,
incased in white, thrashed wildly about
as though in the agony of despair, and
finally when, with shrek of JOY, the
engine dashed ont into the dazzling sun
light, it sank down into its seat appa-
rently crushed with modification and
chagTin.
The ladies screamed with terror and
/ hid their bushes at the unusual appaFi
! ton. Strong men crushed their hand
! kerchiefs into their mouths and nearly
! chOked with emotion. The figure re-
/ clined motiOnless upon the soft cushion,
until some one with more courage than
the rest advanced to ascertain who and
what it was. Finally the terrible truth
was revealed. The white covering was
lifted, and from beneath appeared the
features of our young friend, clothed
with carnations richest hue. The mys-
I tery was soon explained. He had gotten
the Cheviot off, but alas! in his hurry
and excitement he had forgotten to undo
the collar fastening of the elegant white
! frilled front. Horror! 1t would not go
over his head !-[San Francisco Morning
Call. ....
