Rive for Hay and Seeding Alone.

Rye is almost as important crop in
New Jersey as wheat in Minnesota /;
and, as a matter of course, / have to
SOW a few acres every year or be ruled
out of fellowship among New Jersey
farmers. Hay appears to be always
scarce in my neighborhOOd, and when
ever / have to buy, the price goes up
about twenty-five cents per hundred
above the New York city market rates.
I concluded to see what kind of hay
green rye would make. This morning,
when proposed to cut the rye, which
was Just merely showing its flowers,
John was ready to strike for such
piece of folly had never before heen
heard of in this neighborhOod. The
rye, however, is cut, and if the weather
continues fine it will be hauled into the
barn tomorrow. do not think rye hay
will equal good timothy in quality but
it is certainly superior to more than
half the stuff called hay sold in city
and country village markets. Another
advantage which 1 expect to gain by
cutting before ripe is a better growth
of grass from the seed sown among the
rye last fall. If the weather should
continue dry for the next two weeks, or
until rye is ripe, the young grass grow
ing among it must suffer more or less
By the way, think 1 mentioned the
fact in my diary last fall that on a por-
ton of this field no rye was sown, the
grass seed being narrowed in alone.
The results are worth noting; for, on
that portion where the grass seed was
sown alone, shall get fair crop of hay
this season; but among the rye it is |
too scattering and backward to amount |
to any thing this year. Hereafter, when |
l want to seed down land, ] shall SOW
the seed alone. the same as we SOW
other grain, either in spring or fall

Reduction of Rates.

There is no one thing which the press
in the large cities of the country has
been more uniform and persistent in
than in their persistent advocacy of such
reduction in the premiums charged for
life insurance as would bring that pro-
lection from want within the reach of
every family. The National Life Insur-
ance Company of the United States of
America, E. A. Rollins, president, Jay
Cooke, chairman of finance committee,
capital larger than that of any other
life company in the world, has placed
its rates at about three-quarters of those
charged by most companies, and wants
an agent in every locality. 1t has the
essential qualities of strength and cheap
ness, and we advise all looking for full
or partial employment in life Insurance
to address the company at Philadelphia.

PMPLEs. ER1rPTIoNs. RoUGH SKIN.

PnNPLEs, ERUPTIoNs, ROUGH SKIN.
The system being put under the influence of
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for a
few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear,
soft, and velvety, and being Illuminated with
the glow of perfect health from within, true
beauty stands forth in all it's glory. Nothing
ever presented to the public as a beautifier of
the complexion ever gave such satisfaction for
this purpose as this Discovery. The effects of
all medicines which operate upon the system
through the medium of the blood are neces-
sarily somewhat slow, no matter how good the
remedy employed. While one to three bottles
clear the skin of pimples, blotches, eruptions
yellow spots, comedones, or grubs, dozen
may possible be required to cure some cases
where the system is rotten with scrofulous or
virulent blood poisons. The cure of all these
diseases, however, from the common pimple
to the worst scrofula is, with the use of this
most potent agent, only matter of time.

UNCONSCIOUS POWER.


The best men, doing their best,
Know, peradventure, least of what they do.
I've known the pregnant thinkers of the time,
And stood by, breathless, hanging on their bps,
When some chromatic sequence of fine thought
In learned mOdulation praised itself
To an unconjectured harmony of truth;
And yet I've been more moved, more raised,
say,
By a simple word-a broken, easy thing,
A three years infant might say after you,-
look, a sigh, a touch upon the palm,
Which meant less than al love you than by all
The full-voiced rhetoric of those master mouths.

What Love Is.

That alteration which a young man
gives to woman whom he feels to be
greater and better than himself, is
hardly distinguishable from religious
feeling. What deep and worthy love is
not so ? whether of woman or child, or
art or music. Our caresses, our tender
words, our still rapture under the in
huence of autumn sunsets, or pillared
vistas, or calm, majestic statues, or
Beethoven symphonies, all bring with
them the consciousness that they are
mere waves and ripples In an unfathom-
able ocean of love and beauty our emo
ton in its keenest moment passes from
expression into silence, our love at its
highest flood rushes beyond its object,
and loses itself in the sense of divine
mystery. Is it any weakness, pray, to
be wrought on by exquisite music to
feel its woundrous harmonies searching
the subtlest windings of your soul, the
delicate fibers of life where nomem-
DRY can penetrate, and binding together
your whole being, past and present, In
one unspeakable vibration; melting you
in one moment with all the tenderness,
all the love that has been scattered
through the toilsome years, concentra-
ting in one emotion of heroic courage or
resignation all the hard learned lessons
of self-renouncing sympathy, blending
your present Joy with past sorrow, and
your present sorrow with all your past
Joy? If not, then neither is it a weak
ness to be so wrought upon by the ex-
quisite curves of a woman's cheek and
neck and arms, by the liquid depths of
her beseeching eyes, or the sweet child
ash pout of her lips. For the beauty of
lovely woman is like music what can
one say more? Beauty has an express
sion beyond and far above the one wo-
mans soul that it clothes, as the words
of genius have a wider meaning than the
thought that prompted them; it is more
than woman's love that moves us in a
woman's eyes it seems to be a far-off
mighty love that has come near to us,
and made speech for itself there the
rounded neck, the dimpled arm, move
us by something more than their pretti-
ness, by their close kindship with all we
have known of tenderness and peace.
The noblest nature sees the most of this
impersonal expression in beauty Git is
needless to say that there are gentle
men with whiskers dyed and undyed
who see none of it whatever), and for
this reason, the noblest nature is often
the most blinded to the character of the
one woman's soul that the beauty
clothes. Whence, I fear, the tragedy
of human life is likely to continue for a
long time to come, in spite of mental
philosophers, who are ready with the
best receipts for avoiding all mistakes
of the kind. George Eliot. ...s

Notes on Iron,

Some interesting notes on early chem
istry have appeared in Nature. From
them, we collect the following as to
iron: "Iron was not in common use
till long after the introduction of cop
per. 1t is far more difficult to procure,
because it is not met with in the native
state, and the fusing point is very high.
The metallurgy of iron is more complex
than that of copper; and, when obtain
ed, it is more difficult metal to work.
According to XenophOn, the melting of
iron ore was first practiced by the Chal-
ubes, a nation dwelling near the Black
sea hence, the name Chalups used for
steel, and hence our word chalybeate,
applied to a mineral water containing
iron. Steel was known to the ancients,
but we do not know by what means it
was prepared it was tempered by heat
ing to redness and plunging in cold
water. According to some, kuanOs, men
toned by Homer, was steel; But Mr..
Gladstone prefers to conclude that it
was bronze. Iron was known at least
1897 B. G.. It was coined into money
by the Lacedamonians and in the time
of LukOurgos was in common use. 1t
was used in the time of Homer for GER
Jdlu do MOOO1uOI
axes, and for plew-shares. Its value is
shown by the fact that Achilles proposed
ball of iron as a prize for the games
in honor of Patroklos. Neither iron
money nor iron implements of great an
tiquity have been found, because unlike
theother metals of which we have spoken
above, iron rusts rapidly, and soon COM
paratively disappears. No remains of it
have been found in Egypt; yet Hero
dotas tells us that iron instruments were
used in building the pyramids. More
over, steel must have been employed to
engrave the granite and other hard
rocks, massive pillars of which are often
found engraved most delicately from
top to bottom with hieroglyphics.
Again, the beautifully engraved Baby
lonian cylinders and Egyptian gems,
frequently of comedian and onyx, must
have required steel tools of the finest
temper. We have no record of the fur
naces in which iron ore was smelted;
but we know that bellows were in use
in the fifteenth century B. c., in Egypt,
and some crucibles of the same period
are preserved in the Berlin museum.
They closely resemble the crucibles in
use in the present day." We may add
that Mr.. Layard found an iron saw at
Nineveh.-V an NostrGnd'S Magazine.
