springIng Ont Of bed.

DIR. Hall does not approve of the
old fashion doctrine which formerly
instilled into the minds of the child
rem that they should spring out of
bed the instant they awake in the
morning. He says that Cup TO eigh-
teen years every child should be
dHotced ten hours sleep. but time
should be allowed to rest in bed, after
the sleep IL over, until they feel as II
they had rather get up than not. 1t
is very great and mischievous mis-
take for persons, old or young-es-
pecially children and feeble or seden-
tary persons-to bounce out Of bed the
moment they wake up; all our in
stincts shrink from it, and fiercely
kick against 1t. Fifteen or twenty
minutes spent in gradually waking
up, after the eyes are opened, and in
turningover and stretching the limbs,
do as much good as sound sleep, be-
cause these operations set the blood
in motion by degrees, tending to
equalize the circulation; for during
sleep, the blood tends to stagnation,
the heart beats feebly and slowly;
and to shock the system by bouncing
up in an instant and sending the
blood in overwhelming quantities to
the heart, causing 1t to assume a gall
lop, when the instant before it was
In creep, is the greatest absurdity.
This instantaneous bouncing out of
the bed rs soon rs the eyes are open
will be followed by WEAKNESS long

A Practical Joke.

When the celebrated Copenhagen
Jackson was British Minister tt
this country, he resided In New York
and occupied a house on Broadway
Neil McKinnon, a wag, one night al

of convivial companions, while pass
ing the house, noticed that ii was

"Halloa! said our wag, "what's

One of the party remarked that
Jackson had party that evening.
"W hat y exclaimed Neil, Jack

"Don't talk TO me that way,n said
Neil, but go directly and tell the
British Minister that must see him
Immediately on especial business. y
The servant obeyed, and delivered
his message in so impressive a style
as to bring Mr.. Jackson to the door
forthwith.

Newspapers and their influence.

We shall not attempt to define the
exact influence Of newspapers; but
most assuredly, 1t Is most extensive.
A book lives longer than newspa-
per, but newspaper is constantly at
work. The book circulates by thous-
Iands, and the newspaper by tens oil
thousands. The book Is read by the
few, the newspaper by the million.
AS q Photographic impression of the
lights and shadows OF passing life,
everybody takes an interest In a
newspaper. 1t Is a record of the daily
history of our own time; it Is in fact,
in our age, the history of telegraphic
communication, and that is the his
tory of the world for each day. Its
columns contain transcript of the
deaths, the marriages, the accidents,
the complaints, the eXcitements, the
fears, the enthusiasm, the rejoicings,
the sorrows and the wants of living
men. How, then, can 1t fail to be
generally interesting?
But the newspaper does more than
this-it forms opinions, sometimes
leading, sometimes following. 1t
cannot go too fer ahead, neither can
il lag too far behind! II acts and is
acted upon. Perhaps it is oftener an
echo of what the majority OF newspa-
per readers think, feel and desire,
than anything else. This, indeed, is
a necessity OF a newspapers exist
ence. But 1t often leads opinion, too,
by reiteration, by line, and by pre-
cept upon precept. AS the water
drop wears hollows in the hardest
stone, so does the newspaper mold
and shape the local and political
opinions of the community, and bring
aboutimportantand extensive chang
es. 1t does not follow that these
opinions are always valuable or ex-
cellent. The newspaper may form
false views as well as true, may de
fend injustice, strengthen prejudice,
and propagate error. The only cor.
receive for all this is freedom. Said
Milton in his plea for unlicensed
printing: "Let truth and falsehood
grapple. Who ever saw truth put to
the worse in free and open encoun'
ter ?'--New York Meas.

CORN PLANTING AND GROWING.

A correspondent of the Farmers
Union Offers few words on the sub
ject of corn planting and growing,
and as the time Is at hand for flr-
mers to lay out their plans for the
forthcoming corn crop, we transfer
his ideas to our columns. He says /:
"In raising corn the crop should be
put In the ground not only for his
own profit, but also with a view to
future crops that the farmer NAV de-
sire to raise afterward. / would re-
commend to lay off the ground for
planting at least four feet and half
the north or south way, so that the
sun may have fair chance, which
Is the best Moderator that can possi-
bly, be found, when the conditions
are right for lis congenial Influence.
The east and west way would lay
out about two and half or three feet,
and let remain ia the hill two stalks
only. i would recommend that plant
| ing should be done earlier i'm the seas
on, by about eight or ten days, than
the majority of farmers are in the
habit of doing in this vicinity. 1
have noticed that as a general thing
early planting has produced the best
results by far.
Before planting be sure that your
seed is good. for If it Is not, YOU will
be likely not only to lose your crop.
but your ground will be neglected
and your future crop will be affected
by the neglect.
1T il a certain fact that working
Hand and exposing IL to the elements

ton, which is beneficial. to its pro.
ducjng qualities. and every time Il

Rule. ror the care OF sneep.

We copy the following suggestions
abo ut sheep from circular issued by
Mr.. +. G. d. Mckay, the General
Agent Of the American Emigrant
Company. The Company have al
ready ten thousand sheep scattered
among the farmers who purchased
land of them, in fiocks ranging in size
from fifty to two hundred head;
; /. Keep sheep dry under foot with
litter. This is even more necessary
than roofing them. Never let them
stand or lie in mud or snow.
summer, and keep them upuntil De-
cember 1st following, when they may
be turned out.
3. Drop or take out the lowest bars
as the sheep enter or leave a yard,
thus saving broken limbs.
4. Count every day.
S. Begin granting with the great
est care, and use the smallest guam
tity at first.
9. IF a eve loses her lamb, milk
her daily for few days, and mix a
little alum with her salt.
4. Let no hogs eat with the sheep
by any means, in the spring.
s. Give the lambs little milk feed
in time of weaving.
8. Never frighten sheep If possible
to avoid it.
10. Sow rye for weak ones in cold
weather, If you can.
IL. Separate all weak or thin or
sick from the strong, in the fall, and
give them special care. 2
