Whit Roots Shall We GROW.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says: With much expe-
rience In the growing and feeding of
most kinds of roots, our very decid-
ed preference for the principal crop
is for beets. We place first among
varieties the American imperial SUI
gar beet. It grows mostly out OF
ground, and although it grows larger
and heavier than any other, it is fine
compact, sweet, and nutritious. The
sugar beets that grow in the ground
we have discarded. The long red
mangold grows very much like the
better variety of sugar beeis, and
will bear little closer planting, and
Weld about the same weight of roots.
It is not quite so sweet or juicy as
the other, and we think ranks second
in feeding qualities. On soil in
Ginning to sandy, we have most ex-
cellent crops of the yellow globe
mangold. Between this and the long
red there is little if any choice OK
cept that the globe is better adapted
to the lighter soils. On land quite
free from weeds, carrots aud parsnip
may be proftably grown, but we
would not, after all, recommend them
as at all comparable with the beets
for general crop.

The Power of Love.

Here is a little story which illustrates
the great power of love. A kind Chris
tian lady, in one of her visits of charity,
found poor, destitute little orphan girl
and brought her to her own house. The
little stranger at first would take no COM
fort, but sat down weeping in the hall.
The children of the house endeavored to
make friends with her and draw her into
the parlor, but they could not, and SO
they said to their mother: "She will not
come and play with us. She will not
leave the hall"
"There is a secret" said the lady, "by
which you can bring her where you like.
1t is secret in four letters. Try if you
can find it out"
The eldest sister took the lead, search
ing eagerly among all her prettiest play
at is doll" So she brought her best
doll, and offered to give it to the child, if
she would come into the parlor. No; it
was a failure.
The next in age said to herself, 'tMuff
is spelt with four LETTERS" and brought
her a fine muff-a Christmas present; but
she would not touch the muff or even look
at it,
Grace, the youngest, could think of
nothing worth offering after this, but
stood looking on in sorrow, until at
length, following an instinct of her own,
she sat down beside the little stranger
and cried, too. Then presently she took
her by the hand, and encircled her neck
with her own tiny am, she drew the
weeping head softly nearer and nearer,
and imprinted a gentle kiss upon her
cheek. This decided the battle. There
was nothing said, but Grace soon led the
way into the parlor, holding her captive
by the hand.
"Well, girls" said the mother, "Grace
has found out the secret, and the four
letters are LOVE. Love is the strong
est rope in the world-even God will fol-
low when you draw with that"
All, yes, love is great power. 1t
draws all things to itself. 1t drew the
Son of God down to earth to die for us,
and led Him back to heaven to intercede
for us; and is able to draw Him down
again, any day ard every Gay, to dwell
with us in our hearts. 1t will draw down
answers to all our prayers.-Rind lords.

Boys.

HAD l the planning of them, every
mothers son should be in a state of tor
por, like that of the claw-sucking bears in
winter, at the mischievOus, lawless, I'M
lovable period between the DOMINIC of
the first short jacket and donning the first
long tailed coat. Then, a boy has as
many legs as a centipede; go where you
will, walk as gingerly as you may, one is

direction but that intended by a we'll
hammered head brush. Then, his trousers
are always Independent of the anatomy
of his legs, and his sleeves of his elbows.
His collar also is at war with his neck;
and his hat, having been used oftener for
a football than for its legitimate purpose,
sits awry, like that of an organ grinders
grinning monkey. Then the heels of his
shoes are trodden down on one side, and
his knubby knuckles are spelling for a
fight; and his war-whoop bears no proper
proportion to his age orsize, being greatly
in advance of both. Then he disdains,
this embryo man, doOr-mats and clean
carpets, and handles delicate articles with
smudgy fingers, and DULLES his little sis
tiers, and yells ''cry-baby" when they
weep, and laps up custard and cream
with the thievishness and vOracity of
cat, and devours "vittles" greedily, with

the appetites of others. Then he is
stone deaf when you want him to listen,
and listening when you think he is stone
deaf Then, when you need his
services, he is just going off with some
feller"; and when you have feller",
he is as much a fixture as the parlor
walls. Then he stands on street corners,
and fancies it manly to endure Spartan
nausea, for the precocious cigar. Then
he addresses his sister on the street in
this wise, particularly if there is another
boy with him: Halo, Sue! Won't
you catch it when you get home, miss"
Then, for all these reasons, and many
others which time would fail me to
mention, could wish he would, like the
bears, put his claws in his mouth, and
retiring to some distant cave, pass this
embryo stage of unpleasantness in tor
per more conducive to his own self
respect and the happiness of others.
l am aware, madam that your son is a
paragon, and not to be included in this
category; but he is, of course, an excep-
ton, owing to your blessed and wise
teachings; and l quite agree with you
that your neighbours boy, John Smith,
may well put on the cap have cut out
it so well fits him. So you and l won't
fall out, my dear, but will agree that
there might be patent taken out for a new
style of boy generally, spite of MI. Beech
er's championship of the present one.

her terror was too great, and she tainted.
When the brother-inla law rushed in he saw
a thin-faced man with a slightly bald
head, in long, White night robe, and in
his rage at the supposed outrage fired at
him, missed, and then knocked him down
with his fist. Fortunately, his voice saw
ed the husband from a second shot. His
wife recovered from her faint only to faint
again at the recognition of her husbands
shaved face, and the pistol shot. He
finally got to bed, and slept very well I'M
til morning, when 'the baby" a child of
about two years of age, approached the
bed, as he had been used to do, and fright
ened at the sight of stranger, ran
screaming from the room, tripped on the
carpet. and the poor child received bump
on it's little head.
Matters were finally Strengthened up at
home, but on the street his friends passed
without speaking, and at the bank he was
not only refused payment, but threatened
with arrest fer signing his own name in
indorsing it. OF course, little eXplana-
ton brought the affairs all right, but it
took SO much time to explain, and for the
confusion of his forehead to get well, that

shave again, as he considers it a habit
dangerous to peace, and even llfe.-At-

FREDDY AND HIS PONY.

| Freddy Barlow had no brothers or
sisters for playmates; but he had little
pony, of which he was very fond. The
pony's name was Bijou, which is the
friends who have learned French to tell
| you how to pronounce it.
Freddy thought Biou a rare jewel in
deed, and felt as proud as king when
mounted on his back and Bijou seemed
to take pride in doing his best when in
the service of his young master.
Bijou was very smart, and had learned
some funny tricks. If Freddy walked up
to him, and made bow, he would return
and, when Freddy offered his hand, Biiou
would raise his foot,-always his right
foot,-and allow it to be shaken. But
the funniest thing of all was his trick of
laughing. Horses do not often laugh
but, at Freddy's command, Biiou would
open his mouth wide, and display his
upper teeth in a most expressive smile.
It was a sad day for Freddy when he
was told that he would have to part with
this wonderful pony; but Mr.. and Mrs.
Barlow being about to travel abroad,
their place, and all that belonged to it,
were sold and Freddy was sent to school
in distant city.
When he had become acquainted with
his new school-fellows, he never tired of
taking 10 tueIu dUOuI DIJOu nc uScu ~
look wistfulIy at all the horses that he
met in his walks, though he never expect
ed to see his favorite again.
One day, however, as he was passing the
gate of handsome country seat, he heard
familiar neigh; and a horse came bound
ing down the carriage-path. 1t was
Bijou At the first glance, he had
recognized his master and galloped off to
greet him.
Freddy fairly danced with joy at the
sight of his pet. He and Bijou were hav-
ing delightful interview, when gentle
man came to the gate, and said, GLOW is
it, my little man, that you and my pony
take such fancy to each other? l think
you must be old friends"
Then Freddy told Biiou's story from
beginning to end, and made him go
through all his tricks; and the gentleman
was so delighted with the performances
that he invited Freddy to come to his
house every holiday, and take ride
upon the pony.
Freddy did not refuse the invitation,
you may be sure; and he and Bijou now
enjoy their weekly galIop more than l can
tell you.-lhe Nursery.

Weather Signs.

EVERY man has some way of telling the
changes or the weather, or rather, having
no way of telling what the weather will
be, he fixes on some rule, and agrees
within himself that he will believe the
weather is to be thus or thus, according
as his rule demands.
These signs do not generally receive
from those who follow them a very criti-
cal investigation. When a man says, 81

that al ways when" etc, etc, it may be
quietly assumed that he has noticed no
such thing He has heard some one say

Our KeVOIverS.

| WAS armed to the teeth with pitiful
little Smith Il NELSON'S seven-shOoter,
which carried a ball like homeopathic
pill, and it took the whole seven to make
"A dose for an adult. But thought it was
grand. 1t appeared to be dangerous
weapon. 1t only had one fault-you
could not hit anything with it. One of
our conductors practised awhile on a
COW with it, and as long as she stood
still and behaved herself she was safe; but
as soon as she went to moving about, and
he got to shooting at other things, she
came to grief The secretary had a small
sized Colts revolver strapped around him
for protection against the Indians, and to
guard against accidents he carried it I'M
capped. Mr.. George Bemis was dismally
formidable George Bemis was our fell
low-traveler We had never seen him
before. He wore in his belt an original
'Allen" revolver, such as irreverent peo
pie called ''pepper-box." Simply draw
ing the trigger back, cooked and fired the
pistol.
AS the trigger came back, the hammer
would begin to rise and the barrel to turn
over, and presently down would drop the
hammer, and away would speed the ball.
To aim along the turning barrel and hit
the thing aimed at was a feat which was
probably never done with an " Allen" in
the world. But Georges was reliable
weapon, nevertheless, because, as one OF
the stage drivers afterwards said, "If she
didn't get what she went after, she would
fetch something else" And SO she did.
She went after deuce of spades nailed
against Il tree, once, and fetched mule
standing about thirty yards to the left of
it, Bemis did not want the mule; but the
owner came out with doubled barrelled
shot gun and persuaded him to buy it,
anyhow. 1t was cheerful wcapon-the
" Allen" Sometimes all its six barrels
would go off at once, and then there was
no safety in all the reg ion round about,
but behind it.-Roughtng II, By Mark
