About Girls.

The Christian Register thus refers to

their daughters: "Does any parent
ask, "What would you have our little
girls doe" We reply: "Learn in ear
lest life to help to be useful; to wait
on others rather than to he waited on.
They should learn to be thoughtful;
tn take care to accept responsibility :;
to live a life as serious as their mental
powers and their social, domestic and
individual affections a1epure, dignified
and, exalted. If any say We have over.
colored the statement of the case, and
girls are not brought up in idleness
and frivolity and dissipation, we are
glad, for the sake of those who deny
the picture, that their daughters are
better educated We do not write for
their instruction, but for the instruc-
ton of those who neglect that moral
education of their children which is
not to be found in sermons and Sunday
school lessons, but in the actual service
of life; that morei education which is
to keep Chi dhood pure, sweet and
holy, aud make strong for the pur.
pose of existence"

A Puzzler on the Tsbacea Question.

The Christian World says: I'VE
have said so much about the evils of
smoking that justice to the other side
constrains US to record a case which we
must say Is rather q sumner. In DR..
Samuel Tyler's splendid memoirs of
Chief Justice fancy it appears that the
Judge was an awful smoker. He be-
gan to puff away early in life, and kept
on industriously pufiug away to the
end. Yet he had one of those delicate,
nervous, excitable organizations which
are thought peculiarly susceptible to
injury from the use of tobacco. When
he was 81 years Of age some one pre-
scented him with bandsomely-carved
walnut cigar box as an appropriate
present, which he greatly enjoyed.
When on his sick-bed he found his
greatest relief from pain IN smoking.
He died almost with the cigar in his
mouth. Now We would say here is q
case for Bro. Trask and his Auti-tobac-
co League. If such an organization can
stand the poison for eighty years,
wouldn't it be we'll to get up some new
| argument9;, We submit the question
in ill gravity" -

King Day and lnis court has grown weary,
Tho gates OF the castle are barred,
And Sunset, the Warden, is keeping
A careless and drowsy guard.
The purpleand golden hammers
That foated in gorgeous array
From the tops Of the Western towers,
Arc furled and faded away
And over the silvory turrctr, i,
And over the roseate walls,:s
And tho ancient golden drawbridgo,
The shadow of Twilight falls.
And as it grows deeper, the Warden
Abandons the Western height,
And the beautiful Castle of Daylight
Surrcndrrs itself to Night.
No fcotstep 10 heard on the terrace
Or stair and the banqueting hall,
Where the King held his riotous wassail,
Ia silenter now than all.
The tongue Of Contention Is palsied,
The anvil OF labor 10 dumb,
And Clamor haAgrown too feeble
To rattle his noisy drum.
Below from the spacious courtyard
There comes neither str nor tone;
The King in the royal chamber
Has fallen to sleep on his throne.
His light, golden crown of sunbeams
Has melted away from his head.
And his brow bent heavily downward
Seems crowned with crown of lead.
His sceptre OF Light has faded
And slipped from his open hand;
Vainly in dreams he mutters
Some Idle and vsgae command.
For his ministers, Thought and Action,
From morning till even.tide
His busy and royal subjects,
Sleep heavily by his side.
And his gray-beardel secretary,
That very.old servant, Loh Care,
With tue wrinkles and STOPPING shoulders,
Mods peacefully in his chair.
Tho whole of the court lssskeping-
= Even the tavosite fool.
Poor Folly, shores loud and soundly,
His head on the Kings footstool.
No sound but Of heavy breathing
Is heard through the stately room;
From basement to tower tho castle
Is wrapped in slumberous gloom.
And the. eEes Of my1nuse grgwdrowsy,5
Fhe hps Of ny muse grow$mute;i
And the heart Of my muse is dreaming
Over the slumbering Lutte.

Durntion of Vitality in Grain.

ga Young Farmer inquiries if seed of
the different kinds of grain year OF more
old will grow as well as fresh seed. Our
answer would be, always SOW seed as fresh
as it can be had, for although some seed
will germinate after it has been kept for
years, yet these are exceptions. We do
not know of any distinct experiments on
old and new grain, except it be Single
trial which we made in pots. Fresh seed
wheat was sown in pots in autumn, one inch
deep, and kept properly moist In another
pot, subject to the same temperature and
the same degree of moisture, was sown
wheat kept over one year. In other pots,
seed five years old was sown under similar
circumstances. The first or fresh seed
came up in eleven days, the weather being
rather cool; the second seed one year old,
cane up in thirteen days. The flve-year
seed in the other pots came up irregularly,
the first eighteen days, and afterwards for
nearly month. The grains of all were
counted when planted in the earth, and
the result was that all the fresh seed grew;
all or nearly all the one-year but not one
half the five-year seed ever grew at all
From these limited experiments, we may
infer that fresh seed is always the best; if
only year old It may do well, although
the plants will hardly have the vigor of the
first; but seed several years old should be
employed only for preserving or securing
some desirable variety. Will some of
our readers repeat the experiment on oats,
barley, &c, by accurately counting, meas
uring depth, recording dates, &C., Country
Gentleman.

Singular Effects of Blue Glass.

At meeting of the agricultural society
in Philadelphia, General Pleasanton ap-
peared before the Society, and addressed
them on the subject of the effects of vege-
tation and animal light under the blue
glass, SO far as regarded his discoveries since
his last report, some time last year. He
alluded to the fact that after the hail.storm
of May, last year, in which Mr.. Buist's
hot-house had been almost entirely destroy
ed, and during which his geraniums had
plants under glass painted blue, when
they all began to revive, and even those
which had lost color returned it again more
intensified.
General Pleasanton, after giving couple
of similar illustrations, mentioned that he
had applied to Washington for patent for
the process he had discovered, and that
Department had sent Professor Branerd to
Philadelphia to examine his grapery, and
see for himself the beneficial effect of blue
light on vegetation. On the ground of this
report he had received his patent.
The General then spoke of the benefit
acruing to those suffering from physical
pain, by permitting themselves to be shone
upon by the direct rays Of the sun pouring
down upon the affected part of the body,
through panes of blue glass. lie gave an
example in which lady, who had been
suffering from pains in her back, to whom
lie recommended that she should substi-
tute the white panes ofglass in the window
with panes of blue glass, and would disrobe
herself, expose the effected parts--her head
and naked spine-to the compound blue
light and wine light of the sun as they
came through the window, for space of
thirty minutes, and repeat the sun bath at
the same time every day.
General Pleasanton said the lady applied
the proposed remedy, and within ten days,
had not only received invigorated strength,
and lost the pains in her back, but such
parts of her hair as had been exposed to
the rays as well as portions of her head on
which hair had not grown before, had in
the one case, increased in length, and in
other cases begun to grow. The patient
also said that various pains in her foot had
been Immediately dissipated by placing
that naked member under the blue rays.

men are especially subject, it is
superseding every othet stimu-

temperate or frigid, it acts as a
specific in every species of disor-

strength and breaks down the
animal spirits.
