Horses ". Men-The Former Aheaf

Horses ". Men-The Former Ahead.
A Rochester paper prints this quiet
little statement: "by a contrivance
of the engineer, Seneca Dobbs, of steam
fire engine No. 2, a saving of about
three minutes is accomplished in the
litching of horses to the engine and
hose cart in case of q fire alarm. A
cord from the sleeping room up stairs
leads down into the stable, and is at
tached by spring to movable door
in front Of the stall, the hay-rack and
oat-bin being at the side. In case of a
fire alarm the cord is pulled, the stall
door opens, and the horses rush out
and take their places, the engine horses
each side of the pole, and the hose cart
horse in his position. 1t is race be.
tween the men and these intelligent ami
mails to see who can get to the post of
duty first. The horses generally win.
The driver deserves credit for the train
ing of these animals, and where horses
are SO intelligent as those of our fire
department generally are, this i'm
provement may be adopted with ad-
vantage. The horses on No. l We have
seen show as much cunning as Dan
Rice's Excelsior, and others are doubt
less as we'll trained"

THE EXTRA SERVICE.

At one Of our watering places last
summer one of the pastors of the neigh
borhood occasionally held service in
the parlor of the hotel. The boarlers
testified their greatful sense by making
up little purse for him. The people
found it out aud deducted the amount
from his salary.
I might go on with these examples to
any extent required. But I have
doubts as to the propriety of telling
you even these. And what should be
done about it2 We must have in this
country a system by which the ministry
shall be decently supported, without
being subjected to these contemplate
humiliations and impositions. The
Presbyterian Church is inauguratino a
Sustentation Scheme that is we'll con.
sidered, and deserves universal favor.
Every church ought to make itself fa-
miliar with that plan and carry it out.
One more case I will enclose in this let
ter for your perusal; it has been pub
lished before, and I was familiar with
it when I offered my reward. And now
will ask you to give your opinion as
to the comparative meanness of the
cases reported. IREN3us.

Why was he so curious, aud still with
that strange, hungry look in his eyes.
"I will willingly buy another bird
for her." said, "or she shall buy one
for herself.
"No; she may buy the cage, but not
the bird. I would much rather give
her both, though"
"Come, come" said, "well give
you half-a-crown for the cage, then, and
then call the bird present, for which
Alice will thank you, I'm sure"
Our strange visitor made as though
he would refuse the money for it, but,
on our pressing him, slowly unfolded
the paper in which it was enclosed, and
was about to drop the silver into his
pocket, when the writing on that frag.
ment of the envelope caught his eye.
A sudden spasm fitted across his face,
which was white even to his lips.
"A'ice Ri" he whispered. Is

He seemed to control some strong

Without another word, but with the
same wild, troubled look, he went out
50 swiftly that before I could stay him
he had changed the door.
There was no harsh words between

The usual practice among farrars 10 10
let wheat stand, before it IS cut. mt, the
straw is entirely changed in color from
green TO yellow and the grain has become
nara ana nearly or quite dry. Numerous
try, but more particularly in England, to
determine at what period of rpeness it is
pest 70 cut wheat, havingin view the great
est yield OF gram and it of the best quality.
is wen known to those who have investi-
gated the subject, that the ripening of the
seed consists entirely of chemical processes
which we cannot here attempt to explain.
that are OF Importance to be considered in
order to make the most of the crop after it
has been grown. The immature grain of
wheat, in its early stage, is found to be
filled with milky fluid, which gradually
changes into conscience from this milky
state to one more firm and solid.
These experiments have been instituted
to determine with accuracy at what period
of this change the grain should be harvested
to secure the greatest advantages. The
unanimous opinion appears to be, that if
grain is cut soon after the straw has turned
yellow below the head, while the lower
part Of the stem is still green and the seed
yet remains in soft and doughty state, the
grain will weigh more to the bushel and
yield a greater amount from given space
of ground that more and better -four is
made from it; and where the straw is to be
fed to stock, it is relshed better and is more
nutritious than if the grain was allowed to
stand until it became fully ripe.
These experiments have been so freouent-
ly made and with such uniform results.
that we feel unwilling to let the coming
harvest pass without again reminding our
readers of the fact. A very careful Series
of experiments of this character were made
some years ago in Yorkshire, England, by
Mr.. John Hannah, and he sums up the
loss by Smelling and in the weight and
quality of the grain through letting it stand
until fully ripe-as equal to Sc per acre
a sum, or even half of it, not to be lost
sight OF by the farmer.

BEAUTIFY THE FARM.-The Maine
Farmer says: You can so beautify your
premises that travellers will have to love it
as they pass, study the points that attract,
and carry in their minds ever after, the rec
election that it was home of outward
beauty, made so by the presence of inward
taste and happiness. But to your own
mind will come the greater good. Life will
be the brighter and happier to you. Your
children will grow up to love the home you
have rendered so attractive to them, and
its beauties will ever act as educating in
tlaences for good upon their minds and
1~eA9ts. The dull routine of hard labor
will be relieved by the rational enjoyments
which come from the surroundings, whenev-
er brought under their silent power, and you
will grow into purer life and nobler
manhood in consequence.
