RYEGATE.-On Saturday morning
last, a little son, two years old, OF
Robert Beattic was killed by the en-
glnc Of the through freight down.
Mr.. Heattie was getting in grain on
the east side of the track, and the
little child followed him and GOT pp
on the track as the engine came in
sight. One of the women ian for it
and the engine vhStlcd down
brakes, and the child, instead of
passing of the track, trudged along
as fast as it could between the rails
until the engine approached, when it
was knocked several feet into the
air and fifty feet ahead, striking
outside Of the rails. When Mr.. BE.
at lie picked it up it gasped but Once
OF twice, and was gone. One on two

a hluise inflicted on the side. which
were the only external wounds al.
parent. Mr.. Bcattic'S af1licyion is
very severely felt. We don't know
that he blames any one in the mat
ter, and still he feels that the engine
could have been stopped before the
accident. 1t was all within his
sight, and he says that when the en-.
gineer first saw the child he sounded
down brakes, and soon after, about
30 rods from the child and on
steep mp grade. called oif'thc brakes
by the usual two VIII ties. after
which no further whistle was given.
On the other hand it is due TO the
engineer to say that trip is scarce

The engineer first slackened his
train, gave the alarm, and presumed,

If the ability to remember the little
things Of everyday life were more COM
mon, we could very well do without such
exceptional powers as were possessed by
Magliabecchi, Scaliger, Cyrus and the
rest. The world would be spared u vast
deal of annoyance if men and women
were more generally blessed with humble
dealing, common place memories. People
who never recolect what they said or
what somebody else said, are always get
ting themselves and their friends into
trouble. The well-meaning folks, who
cannot for the life of them repeat thing
us they hear it, constitute Il very large
class, The less dangerous but more absurd
people who always forget where they left
book, q paper or some such tiit1e, are
of everybody acquaintance, The people
who forget that they owe you five dollars
are too numerous and almost too painful
to mention, Good torgetteries are great
deal more common than good memories,
and, as Hamlet said to his mother, we
"would it were not So" There is one
thing to be said in eXtenuatiOn of us
mortals. We all would have good memo
ries if we had our way about it, But
memory is a faculty placed nearly if not
wholly beyond our control, 1t seems to
work quite independently of ourselves.
We often find it impossible to remember
the things that interest us most deeply,
and are made to burden our minds with
matters to which we are entirely indif-
ferent, This is universal experience, and
should render us charitable to people who
have good forgetteries and bad memories.

Cats.


HENRY WARD BEEcHER has recently
furnished the Ch1tstia1t Union with an ar
ticle on cats" from which we take this
extract

So The fact is, that cats are an abused
race and always have been. But we
have claimed for them many and distn-

too-with indignant denials. Goats are
selfish and treachcrous They fawn on
you without affection, and only for their
own pleasure. They are sly, cruel and
hateful" To all of which we time and
again have entered a denial That cat
has a capacity of being sly and cruel, far
beyond any vouchsafed to a rabbit or
hen, we do not deny. But good educa-
ton will reduce these qualities to con
dition about as respectable as they exhibit

THERE are many tritiing operations con
ncCted with house culture of plants that
produce important results. Liquid manure
may be applied to many plants with benc-
fit--Such as roses, geraniumS and tuChsias
may be stimulated with such liquids, and
by this means produce more flowers and
a better growth than if mere pure water
is used 4 barrel should be placed in
some out-ofthe-Way place, and filed with
coarse MANURE, through which water
should he filtered to furnish the requisite
supply The liquid used on parlor plants
should not be rank or possess any offensive
odor; and still, if properly filtered, it will
contain sufficient ferliIizing materials al
though not apparent in color or odor.
LIQUID manures should not, however, be
used too frequently, but only once in two
or three weeks.
Many species of plants, such as Ca
mellias, Oranges and Oleanders, are
liable to be attacked by sCale-ike insects
(c0ccus), and these should be carefully
removed by washing the leaves and stems
with warm soap suds, using soft sponge
or brush for this purpose All dead and
deCaying foliage should be cut off and the
plants kept clean and in handsome shape,
either by pruning or tying up the
branches.
Whenever the weather will permit,
carry the plants into the open air or into
some room where they can be Watered
over head and their leaves cleaned of dust
if itcannot be done in the place they are
grown. This cleaning of the leaves of
house plants is far too generally neglected
by ladies who cultivate only few speci-
mems because it is too much trouble, and
water is not Just the thing to scatter over
carpets and furniture, We can hardly
expect to improve on natures method of
watering plants; and She pours it upon
The leaves first, and the roots get their
share all in good time. One of the prin-
cipal reasons why the plants cultivated
by professional florists in their conserva-
tories thrive so much better than those
cultivated in common dwellings, IS that
they are frequently showercd over head,
aud the atmosphere in which they grow Is
kept constantly moist. Heat, light, and
moisture are the essentials to insure
growth of seeds and plants; the richest
soil or the best attention being of little
value without thcm.-RWH NGr Iorher.

Flowing.

"Plow deep while sluggards sleep has
been impressed on the public mind, in
season and out of season II all our
soils were alike; if they presented the
same geological and mechanical condition
this formula deep blowing, would be
either right or wrong. That Is, If the
conditions required deep stirring of the
soil on our farm, the same practice would
be correct on all other farms. But such Is
not the case; for soils are of almost end
less variety as regards their geology and
mechanical conditions Then climate has
its effects, and that plays an important
part i'm this regard. We find that in break
ing up meadow land, the plan now be-
coming popular-that is, to trench-plow,
having the two plows cut the furrow six
to seven inches in depths well adapted
to nearly if not all of our prairie soil.
This is doubtless due, in great measure,
10 the mass of tibrOus roots that penetrate
TO that or a greater depth; for, after the
turf has been fully reduced by two or
three years cropping, the conditions be
come changed. when some of these soils
will produce better crops by shallow than
by deep blowing. And this result may
follow even when the soil is composed of
the same material TO great depth, the
difference resulting from the condition OF
certain elements, more especially that OF
potash in a fixed or free condition. II
will not do to turn the soil so deeply that
the free potash, That is only found
near the surface, is buried beyond

course. neutral, 50 far as plant

must wait until the fixed potash, that is

MILAUD, the banker and newspaper
Spectator, who died recently in Paris,
and who founded the Paris Fttae JotsI9,o
which at one time had daily circulation
of nearly half million copies, was an
enthusiastic believer in the advantages of
liberal advertising. One day he had at
his table nearly all the proprietors of the
leading Paris dailies. They conyerscd
about advertising. MiIlaud asserted that
the most worthless articles could be sold in
vast quantities, if literally advertised
Emil de Girardin, of Ia PROSE-, who was
present, took issue with him ON the sub
iect. "What will you bet, exclaimed
Millaud, that | cannot sell in one wcel,

pretext that it will produce mammoth cab

replied that he would give him page in
his paper for nothing if he should win
his wager The other newspaper pub
fishers agreed to do the same thing At
the expiration of the week they inquired
of AIillaud how the cabbage seed had
iourished. He showed them his book.
triumphantly, and satisfied Them that he
had sold nearly twice as much as he had
promised, while orders were still pouring
in; but he said the joke mast stop there;
and no further orders would be filled.
