Some time ago Waller * Holdridge, of Iras-

them to eeud carload Of Potatoes to a firm il
Newmarket, \. H. The potatoes were sent, and
in the caurse Of week or ten days they re-
eeivei a ieeEraphic dispstch informing them
that their potatoes were in Boston. Upon in
quirv no such irm as the Maine or Lowell firm
could be found ". s. Z. recovered possession
OF their potatoes, which. fortunately, were in
good condition. Evidently somebody intended
to speculate al ". s Il. e expense.

Keep Your Word.

When you promise to do thing,
be sure to keep your word, as well
for the sake of truth as in justice to
others. This very interesting story
is told of boy who was slngularly
faithful TO his word:
He had borrowed tool from
neighbor, promising to return it at
night. Before evening he was sent
away on an errand and did not re-
turn until late. Before he went he
was told that his brothers should see
the tool returned. After he had
come home and gone to bed. he in
quired and found out that the TOOL
had not been sent to it's owner. He was
much distressed to think his prom
Use was not kept, but was persuaded
to go to sleep, rise early, and carry
it home. By daylight he was up but
nowhere could the tool he found
After long and fruitless search he
set off for his neighbours IN great dis
tress, to acknowledge his fault
But how great was his surprise to
find the tool on his neighbours door
stepl And shen it appeared, from
the prints of little barefoot in the
mud, that he had gotten up in his
sleep and carried it home, and went
to bed again and knew it not. Oh
course, a boy who was prompt in his
sleep was prompt when awake. He
lived respected, had the confidence
of his neighbors and was placed in
many Offices of trust and profit.

Brandy from SaMdust.

The fact has long since been known
that if cellulose is boiled with dilute
acids, grape-sugar is produced, and
similar treatment of lichens, accor-
ding to a process devised by Profess
sor Stenberg, is the initialstep to the
preparation of very fair brandy.
We now learn that quite a good
brandy can be made from sawdust,
generally from a mixture of the saw
dust of pine and of fir timber. For
this purpose 9 parts of very moist
sawdust, z of part of hydrochlorid
acid, and 1877 parts of water, max
ing 1914 parts in all, are to be boiled
togei her, under steam pressure, for
eight hours and a half, after which
the mass is found to contain 3.33
parts of grape-sugar; and after elev-
en- hours ABS parts, in all over 10
per cent. of the entire mass. The
acid is now to be neutralized with
lime, so that the mash, cooled and
ready for fermentation, is to contain
one-half a degree of acid, (according
to the action eter,) and a suitable
amount of yeast is to be added. AT
ter ninety-six hours Of fermentation
the mash is distilled, and sixty-One
quarts of brandy or so per cent. OF
strength will be obtained, perfectly
free from any smell of turpentine,
and of extreme excellence Of flavor.
The experiment has not been con-
Quoted in a practical way on a suffi-
GENTLY large scale to determine pos
itively the merits of this process,
but it is not at all unlikely that the
success may equal that with the Itch
ems, and that a large industry in this
direction may be developed. It is
not impossible, too, that expert
ments will show that other kinds OF
wood than those mentioned may be
found better adapted to the purpose
in question.-RepOrt Department Of

Hasty Friendships.

Some people are continually &C
quiring "dear friends" Ladies Of
an impossible nature have been
known to add two or three to their
list every week during the visiting
season. We men are not, generally
speaking, as apt to rush into friend
ship as the more amiable sex; yet
many of US contract friendships in
haste that we repent at leisure. True
friends are scarce articles. They
cannot be picked up at the rate of
half-a-dozen a season at dinner-par-
ties or balls. Will the ladies excuse
us for saying that mems Friendships
are, in most cases, stronger than
theirs? A lady's every dear" or even
dearest friend" Of her own sex is
apt to fall from favor if she tries to
compete with her affectionate sister
even in so small a matter as dress.
The charming young creatures who
walk with their arms linked around
each others waists, and exchange
kisses and confidence daily, are not.
as a general thing, so closely welded
together by mutual affection but that
envy or jealousy may part them, OF
even make them enemies.

A RandneIusion

The theory that human beings whose
strength has been exhausted by pain and
sickness can be restored by depicting medi-
cines and water Cruel, if not absolutely a
dead deIusion, is in the last agonies of dissO-
luton. At length it is understood that
strength cannot be purged into q debilitated
frame, though life may easily be puTged out
of it, and that it is about wise to withhold
a heaItbful stimulant from the weak, in the
expectation that they will rally without one
as it would be to deprive a lamp of oil and
expect it to burn the brighter for 1t.
The immense and uniform success which
has attended the use of that wonderful COM
bInat!on of a pure stimulant with the finest
ach Bit;ers, has largely assisted in dispeiling
the absurd chimera. Frantic attempts ART
made to revive it, but in vain. When the
sick feel that their strength is departing
and that unless invigOratcd they must utter
y break down, it is vain to tender them fecu

PlOwing-Deep and Shallow.

Says q correspondent: 'Long as
the pillow has been in use, I am salts
fed that its proper use and adYanta-
ges are little understood, except in
breaking the grotnd and cultivating
crops. In benefting the land and
increasing its productiveness, we do
not fully understand what the pillow
is capable of doing, if used properly.
For instance, my impressions are
that land should never be turned
over deeply more than once in two
years pasturage once in three years,
and when turned over, it would be
better for having on it a heavy
growth of vegetable matter to turn
under for manurial purposes; and in
the intervening years-between us
ing the heavy turn plows-it would
be best to break the ground with
plows OF the subsoiling order. The
more we expose the soil by turning
it, the more the evaporation OF its
chemical fertilizing ingredients must
take place, which viii require a lar
ger amount of manure to be apple q,
to aestore what evaporation and
plants have exhausted. [ believe
the ground should be thoroughly
and deeply broken at least once a
year, IN some instances twice, but
not so often with large turning
plows, let it be done with pIows thai
break deep and pulverize thoroughly
without tuning over the land. S.
well satisfied am I of the correctness
of this, that I never turn over the
field with large turning plows but
once in two years, and my lands are
a heavy, red loan soil, sticky and te-
nacious in character. Under this
system of blowing I have seen a de-
cided improvement IN the produc-
ton of my land, with only partial
manuring. Several agents of the
manufacturing of fertilizers have
called on me wishing to sell me
some. I tell them: Gentlemen, yoa
