A VERMONT GUNNER.

Thrce or four years after the war Of
1872, before tho Jealousy and bitter
ness that had been ranking in the
minds of Englishmon and Americans
ever since its termination had passed
away, frigate, Of which Gregory was
executive officer, was lying in the har.
Dor of Rio Janeiro.
There were several English men of
war in port, and the older officers
were careful to prevent collisions be-
tween the sailors of the different ships.
One fne day the gunners of Britis h
ship of the line and frigate got per-
mission to exercise the great guns by
firing at mark. A large hogshead
or other cask was anchored at a suita-
BILE distance, about two miles off and
the frigate and seveuty-four wore both
blazing away at it.
Some half.dozen shots had been
fred by each, and the mark had not
been hit, With the aid of glass it
could be seen that some of the balls
fell near it, while others fell short or
struck long way Off There we're a
large number of sAips in port, and
the gunnery practice attracted gener-
al attention, and many sarcastic COM
ments were made upon the unskillful
firing of John Bull.
The Yankee sailors were much ex-
cited, and their own superior gunnery
was. loudly asserted. Meantime the
firing was continued, and with SINH
lar result. At last one of thAexperts
Of the American frigate, unable to cou.
troll himself, implored Mr.. Gregory TO
let him have one crack at the barrel.
Ho was sternly rebuked and ordered
to quarters.

would cost for one shot at the cask.
"Such fogging as you have long
deserved" said Mr.. Gregory.
"Any thing else, sir ?" inquired JON
othan, rs he turned away.
In less than minute chang" went
a thirty-two, and tho British mark
was knocked all to pieces. Mr.. Gre
cory at once ordered the man under
arrest, and sent him on board the
English frigate with note explain
ing the matter. There was great ox-
element on board the ship. The
Yankee gunner was complimented for
the accuracy Of his shot, the British
sailors were reproached for their olum.

A young Briton lately lost large
sum by betting on spiders. lie wager
ed that spider which he would pro-
duce would cross plato quicker than
a spider to be produced by a friend.
Each spider was to have its own plate.
His spider, however, on being started,
would not stir, while its rival ran with
immense speed. The bet was conse-
quently lost; /; and the looser soon found
out the reason why-his friend had a
hot plate.
Says tho Boston Traveller: One OF
the most ludicrous incidents possible
occurred in an auction room in this
city on Saturday, where mapmoth
painting is on exhibition, Of Adam
and Eve and Cain and Abol. An
lrishman asked a bystander-"Who is
thereP "Adam and Eve and their
children" was the reply. a lady
standing by said; soto eoee, to her
companion-"Why, did not know
they had any children"

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

RECEIPT FOR MAKING TEA.-The most i'm
portant thing in brewing cup of tea consists
in having the water in the tcakettle freshly
boiled, and one should never use that which
has been steaming and stewing for several
hours. So turn out all the water in your kettle
and fill it up with fresh, pure water; then boil
it up briskly, and, as soon as the steam appears,
turn small quantity of water into the teapot,
and shake it about in it. Then pour tout and
add ope teaspoonfll of tea for each person
who will drink from the pot, and one teas
poonful for the pot--(this is the old rule o.
our grandmothers.) Over this pour one large
cof1eecup of boiling water, and for breakfast
tea let it boil exactly ten minutes; boil hard.
But for green and Japan teas proceed as above,
and then place tho teapot on the back part Of
the stove, or upon the elevated reservoir for
water, and let it steep from FIVE to eight minutes
Tea made from freshly-boiled water, and
stepped in this manner, is an entirely different
beverage from that prepared in any other way
In water, when first boiled, there is always
small amount of alkali, which seems to have
peculiar effect in extracting the pleasant prop
critics of the tea; and can tell the instant /
taste cup of tea whether the water has lust
boiled or been boiling for even half an hour.
RICE GR1DDLE CAKEs-Take a coffeecup-
sfui. oss ooid bboilcd rice, add to it the same a
mount of wheat hour-thin it to batter with
cold sweet milk--beat up one egg to froth,
and pinch of salt, aud stir into the cakes,
Fry on q hot griddle, and you will always
boil enough rice for dinner upon one day to
give you cupfull for cakes for the next NOR
ning's breakfast.

stable manure doubled the guano On
the level part there was very percepti-
bic difference; the cotton seed and stable
manure each producing one-fourth moro
than the guano. Inthe truck patch there
was no difference between the cotton seed
and stable manure and guano. There
was o considerable difference between
the three and the unmanured row. Now,
sir, what other conclusion could come
to, than that the guano was q stinalant
as good as cotton seed or stable mannre,,
but did not furnish the same amount of
food to the plant. En- our commercial

them to him for me, for the valuable In
formation given on the subject of rlant-
ing, cultivating and curing long-forage
from corn--to me very important item
in our revolutionized state of farming,
and valuable to every progressive farmer
who reads and thinks.
IF more of our farmers would come to
the front, and through your columns tell
"'ghat they know about farming" and
what they do not know-and ask for
information from their brother farmers,
itwould bring out the practice and expe-
rience of our best cultivators of the soil,
and would be of great benefit to the
farming interest of the country. We
have all, as farmers, much to learn, and
there are but very few if any, from whom
we cannot CLEAN some new thought or
idea, which if properly applied will aid
us in our avocation. At least, such is

That waves in the morning beams.
Soft eyes Of azure and eyes OF brown,
And snow-white foreheads are there;

Roat hopes and leaflets of prayer.
Abreath of spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet waits from the quivering pipes :
Blue violet eyes beneath green hoods,
A bubble of brooklets, ecent of buds,
Bird waFbles and clambering vines.
Arosy wreath and n dimpled hand,
A ring and plighted vow
Three golden links of broken band,
A tiny track ON the snow-white sand,
A tear and sinless PROV 5
There's tincture of grief in the beautiful song,
That sobs on the slumbrous mir;
And loneliness fell in the festive throng,
Sinks down on the soul as if trembling along,
From the cline were the roses were.
We heard it first at the dawn of day,
And it mingled with matin chimes;
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody foateth from far away.

Mr.. EDITOR II don't deny that ma

but they also stimulate the roots and
force them into the soil, in search Of other
food. This can be easily ascertained by
applying manure in bulk, twelve inches
from the p!ant, several inches deep and
when the plant shows, by growth and
development that it is receiving good
benefits from the manure, dig down to
the place, and you will find countless
numbers of roots diverging into the soil.
These roots are the main feeders, and if
manures furnished FOOD only, these roots
would not 20 from the FOOD. You will
