The Branch of Lilac.

just as the lilac are now in such abun-
dance, they recall touching story we heard
some little while ago. A poor working
girl was looking in at the window of one
of those lovely fowers-shops of Paris Git
was showing hard at the time) at branch
Of white lilac. Her face was beautiful,
pale, and wet with tears. She hesitating-
ly opened the door. and asked the price:
''Ten francs, was the reply. "Ten francs!'
and she reluctantly laid it back, but two
drops glistened on the flowers that were
not there before. "My darling baby"
she s0bbed. :" He came when the lilace
were IN bloom, and he must leave forever
without one poor branch in his hand.
"Tou have lost your little one?" asked the
flower woman. A heart-sob and bent head
replied The flower woman then took, not
a branch but an armful, and filed the poor
girls apron, putting back the piece of prot
fered money. "No. no! it shall not be sale
in heaven that l made you pay for the last
little bed of your poor little baby"

Rowing acknowledgements able Mid.
night Mtgration-Some Rat-iocina.
ton About 1t.
A week ago the roads in the lower part
of Hopewell township we're literally cover
ed with rat tracks. The tracks marked
the migration of the rats in the night. The
movement occupied two nights, and so
closely Gid they travel that the entire
width of the sandy road was covered with
the foot-marks; even the ruts were also in
this way marked. 1t is certain that the
two companies must have numbered several
hundred individuals. 1t is no new thing
for these verrnn to migrate or change
quarters in this singular manner. But in
asmuch as they must comprise the assem-
bled occupancy of many places, and as
these places in this portion of the pines
are very widely scattered, the whole affair
is not without singular interest. How do
they communicate their intentions so as to
act with sch unanimity This stream of
rat life was made up of contributions from
houses and barns, and perhaps mills from
varying distances. Then comes the sagac-
ity of taking two nights for the tramp
that is, of dividing into two companies for
this was assuredly wise precaution
against the danger Of being destroyed. 1t
must be confessed that there is more in
this matter than anyone's philosophy is ca
pable of answering. In Europe it is pretty
well known that the barn rats are accus-
toned to these migrations in the spring of
the year But beyond the observed facts,
how little does any one know?

Tying up " DOL.

The best buyers of wool do not like wool
to be got up in square packages and tied
around twice or three times each way with
strong Irvine. They prefer the fecccs to be
rolled up neatly and left as loose as posi-,
Bile, so that each fleece will be sp ringy and
light and elastic to the hand, not solid.
hard, square, comp act masses, in which the
wool is pressed together till the fleece feels
like brick. Then one Irvine tied across to
keep the rolled up fleece in its place, and
two twines the other way. Wool brought
into market in that shape Sc Is better in the
Eastern market and buyers can afford to
give more for 1t per pound, because they
will get cent pound more for it. The
tables and box arrangements, they contend,
may be convenient for the farmer, and are
probably handy to use, but they put the
wool in such packages that the dealers re-
gard them with suspicion, and invariably
from their solidity and hardness gather the
idea that the wool is not well washed. that
it is oily, or that it is moist. Beside, the
examination Of it isrendered so laboriousthat
his work is costly. Tho box and table ar
engagements make such neat square bundles
or the heeces that it is becoming the gen.
reral practice, but it is not one that Is IRE
preferred by the purchasers, and it does not
enhance prices. At this season it is prom.
er to direct attention to the subject.

1t Is ruinous to young fruit trees of any
kind to produce even moderate crop Of
fruit when the stem and branches are grow
ing luxuriaDtly. Some varieties of pear
trees and apples are such prolific bearers,
that every twig will be literally weighed
down with fruit before the tree has at
tanned one-fourth part of its growth, IN
less the young fruit Is thinned out. The
beautiful growth and development Of young
fruit .rees is of far greater value than a
heavy burden of fruit on small tree A
young fruit tree cannot grow satisfactorily
making strong branches and large buds,
when every frult-spur has put out three or
more specimens of fruit to be matured. If
a young tree is allowed to mature "a bounti-
full crop of fruit, the wood growth will be
small and weakly, and the vigor of the
tree will be so seriously impaired, that the
next season the development of branches
will be more feeble than ever !; and the
productiveness of the tree will be injured
to such~a extent that it will not re-
cover its wonted vigor in several years,
even if no fruit i. permitted to grow.
Every young fruit tree should be examined
with care during the former part of the
growing season and emily a small quanti-
ty of fruit should be permitted to mature.
TIE most expeditions way to thin out fruit is
to provide light bench or two to stand on,
and step-ladder, so that one can reach
the branches without injuring the twigs,
by placing the ladder against any part of
the tree-top. Then, with pair of sharp
scissors, sever the stems of the clusters Of
fruit, leaving only one specimen on each
spur. If the fruit is not thinned it will be
small. If only one specimen is left on each
spur, the small quantity that is permitted
/ to mature will be large and fine. Trees
/ that are only three or four years old
should not be permitted to mature more
than three or four specimens of fruit.

The bill Of Mr.. Compton. however. is

ofthe very highest gravity. and is besides
in seemingly inchoate condition, the
