h0nds and Fence Corners.

a correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker writes: Iftherc is any one thing
which l hate moro than another about
l, farm, il is to have the road, walks
and fence corners filled with brush and
weeds. 1t is from these places that the
Canada thistles and other noNious
weeds become scattered over the flrm,
and who does not know that weeds in
roads or walks area sure mark ofSIoven-
illness on the part of the owner? Re-
move all the brush and weeds from the
fence corners and roadsides; hoe and
rake your garden wakes, and see what
a wonderful change it will make in the
general appearance of your place.
What 4 very bad hat is to an otherwise
we'll dressed gentleman, wcedy walks
and roads are to Il good farm or garden.
When was II boy, my father taught
me'to hoe out my row, which meant to
the centre Of the road, or close up to
the fence, not permitting tho weeds
and grass to annually encroach upon
that portion of the land occupied by
CrCpS.

When the Dark Comes.

A little girl sat at twilight in her sick
mothers room thinking. All day she
had been full of fun and noise, and
many times worried her poor, tired
mother.
"Ma," said the little girl, "wlat do
you suppose makes me get over my
mischief and begin to act good lust
about this time every night?''
81 do not know, dear Can you tell
why?''
"Well, guess it's because this is
when the dark comes. You know l
am afraid of that. And then, ma, l
begin to think of all the naughty things
I've done to grieve you, and that per-
haps you might die before morning,
and so I begin to act good"
"Oh!" thought 1, show many of It's
wait till the dark comes, in the form of
sickness, Or sorrow, or trouble of some
kind, before we begin to act goodl How
much better to be good when wo arc
enjoying life's bright sunshine, and
then when the dark comes, as it will,
In measure, to all, we shall be ready
to meet it without fear.''

Watering Gardeus in Hot Weather.

Injudicious watering is an injury to
most garden plants; but properly per-
formed, (for there is q right and
wrong way of doing it) it is a great aid
to the plants, and few are the gardens,
flower or vegetable, that are not watered
artificialiy during the period ofsummer
drought. A slight watering in the
middle of the day is an injury rather
than a benefit. The heated earth at
once absorbs the water thus applied, it
brakes and forms q hard crust about
the plant, the dews are not absorbed,
and the plants are in reality worse off
than if no water had been put on. 1t
is moro important to keep the soil light
and loose about newly set plants, flowers,
&C., than it is to drench them with
water. Where this is done the moisture
comes up from below, the dew is
absorbed, and the plant thrives, which
it cannot do SO long as the surface is
crusted over. Always water at night;
and before watering have the ground
Iooscned up with the garden rake.
Then water IiberalIy-the application
fof a little water is oftener no better
than none. Indeed we had rather keep
the hoe going in Il flower garden, in
hot, dry weather, than the watering
pot. The plants will stand the drought
better by the former than the latter
mode. Too much water is as injurious
to vegetable life as too little; to drown
| out your plants is as bad as to have
Observation-Disclosures use judgment in
| watering, as well as in other matters
connected with the care of your gar
dens.-lLuiue Farmer.

The Advantage of Gronniu..

\ French physician is out in long
dissertation of the advantage of groan-
ing and crying in general, and espc-
cially during surgical operations. lie
contends that grooming and crying arc
two grand operations by which nature
allays anguish; that those patients who
give way to their feelings moro spccdi-
ly recover from accidents und opera
tons than those who suppose it I'M
worthy in Il man to bctray such symp-
toms of coWardicc as either to groan or
cry. lie tells Ola man who reduced
his pulse from one hundred and twcn-
ty-siN to sixty in the course of II few
hours by giving full vent to his emo
tons. In accordance with the above,
the crying of children should not be too
greatly discouraged. What is natural
is nearly always useful, and nothing
can be more natural than the crying of
children when anything occurs to give
them either physical or mental pain.

A Remarkable Cat Story.

A gentleman of the East End has a
female cat with a litter of kittens, which
have been occupying a box in the
kitchen for severak weeks past, and
about three weeks since two hens eggs
were placed in this box, and in due
time the chirp of the newly Matched
chickens was heard in the box, much
to the surprise of every one. They
were taken out of the box and put upon
the floor, and when their feline mother
left her apartment to roam about the
premises, the chickens, like NIary's
little lamb, followed her whithersoever
she went; but strangest of all was the
care with which the cat attended them
Turing the day, and then with mistaken
ken Kindness killing them at night
Cats have fashion of taking their Off
spring by the back Of the neck and
putting them to bed when they are too
young to go there themselves, and this
cat being no exception to the general
rule, and regarding the chickens as
part and parcel Of the family, took
them by the back Of the neck and de-
posted them in the box and succeeded
unintentionally in decreasing her fam
lily by two thereby. If she could reason
she might feel that it is better thus ;
they died innocent and early. Better
that than seeing them, as they grew
up, leave the paternal box to go dissi-
pating about the yard, and acting in a
very uncatlike manner. They never
would have taken kindly to mice, am,
the venerable cat, in time, might feel
humiliated by having her clildre1,
cackling over her. btuie,-.Joso3,ui.
