GROWING Ii. PoTAToEs UNDER
STRAw.-After, planting q piece OF
ground in the usual way last spring,
8 friend of mine told me that by
covering the ground six or eight
inches deep with straw il would
prevent the raYsges of the Colorado
potato bug. i accordingly covered
one-half the patch with straw. ]
soon found, however, that I had to
fight the bugs on the part of the
ground the same IS on the other,
which ! did by catching them twice
q week.
When digging time came found
that those covered with straw yield
ed full one-third more than the
others, and were much larger and OF
more uniform size. The digging
reqnired less than half the labor, as
the potatoes lay almost entirely
aboyegFound. AT the time of COW
ering with stray (Which was imme.
diately after .plsnting), I placed
some hills between the rows which
did not cover with earth, but they
did not amount to anything. plac.

TO young LADIES.

In marrying, make your own
match. Do not marry any one to
get rid of him, or to save him. The
man who would go to destruction
without you, would quite likely go
with you. and perhaps drag you
along also. Do not marry in haste
lest you repent at your leisure. Do
not marry for q home or living,
when by burning up your corsets,
and rolling up your sleeves, and
taking care of your health, yOu can
be strong enough to earn your own
living, and make home for your
self. Do not let aunts, or fathers,
or mothers, sell you for money or
position into bondage, tears, and
lifelong misery which you alone
must endure. Do not place your
self habitually in the company of
any sutton till you have decided the
question Of marriage; human wills
are weak and people often become
bewildered, and do not know their
error Till it is too late. Get away
from their influence, settle your
head, and make mp your mind alone.
A promise might be made in an
hour of half delirious ecstacy, which
must be redeemed through years of
Isorrow, toll and pain. Do not trust
your happiness in the keeping of
one who has no heart, no healthI no
head. Do not look too high, unless
yon wish a companion who wilIdes-
pise you. Beware Of insane blood,
unless you wish children thAt viii
fill your whole life with sorrow,
and close their own with suicide.
Do not marry hastily, contrary TO
the wishes of your parents, guar
diaas or friends; you may refuse to
marry at their bidding, but You have
no right to rush hastily into welded
life against their counsel Waits
few months may make ynn thank
heaven for their restraint and their
care. Love can wait; that which
cannot wait is something of q very
different character. Do not imas,
inc that because two persona- are
miserable when apsEt they will be
happy when together. The opposite
is more usually true. The shappyz
is in the heart. Those who are hap
Ply when separated viii be happier
when united.-The Christian.

A LONG TRIAL AND A LONG
SPEEcH.-Many journals speak OF
the late Tichborne case as the long
est on record. The New York Post
calls attention to the fact that this
is not correct. The trial of War
rem Hastings upon articles of i'm
peaehment for high crimes and mis-
demeanors, before the British par
lament, was much longer, and the
addresses of Edmund Burke upon
presenting the articles of impeach-
ment IS probably the longest legal
argument on record. This remark
able trial began by the presentation
of the articles of Impeachment to
the House of Commons, April 4th,
1856. The answcG reply, rejoinder,
ETC., consumed the time until the
beginning of February, -17SS. The
trial before the House OF Commons
began February I3, 17SS, and ended
March /. II, 1894. Edmund Burke
commenced his opening speech on
the 18th day Of February, 178S, and
closed eleven weeks later, on the 18th
day of May following.

IN IRELASb.-FFoF all that can be
learned ftnm the sagricultrral dis.
triets of Ireland, the prospects of n
good harvest are far from cheering,
The winter has not only been severe,
but also most anhealthy-a wet,
sfckIy dreary season throughout the
Island, ahd farmers argue from this
that crops will be unproductiVe and
harvest email. In many of the cit
les and towns smallpox has P4evait~
Eeato an alarming extent. Dublin
particularly has suffered, and in
Cork, Belfast, Drogheda and Water
ford both smallpox and fever have
helped to thrown gloom over the
inhabitants of those cities. With
these diseases, amounting almost to.
an epidemic, in the towns, and poor,
harvest prospects in the country,
the hardships of Ireland will be in
creased rather than abated this year
The continuous rains which prevail
ed from the beginning of Novem-
Der until the end of February have
interfered greatly with the farmers,
and the winter crops amount TO
nothing. Indeed, it seems as If The
ills of Ireland increase with years,
Between internal dissentions, fail
ing crops and epidemics, the conli-
ton of the Irish people is yearly
becoming worse, and annually we
lind thronging to our shores the
poor Irish emigrnts seeking Il
home which various causes conspirc
to deny them in their native land.

A Few Sueep ON the Farm.

THE relative profit is much greater
from a small nock than a large one. The
grain farmer, no matter how few his
acres, can make money by keeping few
sheep. There is always room for them
somewhere, and they turn and consume
into money food that otherwise would
waste. Bat he must be careful not to
oyer4tock To illustrate, suppose the
farmer cultivates only eighty acres, rails,
ing grain chiefly. He keeps few cows
and the necessary teams, Que fifth Of
his farm is in pasture, one fifth meadow;
one planted, one spring grain, and one
wheat He thinks he has rs much stock
as he can proftably keep, but, if he puts
on one sheep to every five acres, he will
find their products clear gain. In the
spring, early, they can run on the sod
which is tD be planted, and one sheep to
each acre will not hurt the land, yet they
will live well. After that they can go
into the pasture, and will clean after the
cows to advantage. A run on the stub
blcs after harvest will not be felt, where
each sheep uas tEO acres and in the fall
there is plenty of feed, Through the
winter they can he kept well on what the
Other stock would not consume, with tie
addition Of a little grain. Probably the
most profitable are some OF the coarser
wooded mutton breeds. Their lambs sell
to the butchers for high prices, and, when
fat the sheep fetch as much as "a yearllng
steer. Sixteen mutton sheep, well man
AIRED, would produce yearly income of
800, where, if none were kept, nothing
would be realized. The greatest draw
back is liability to loss by dogs and it is
