Don't Know its Value.

An aged Indian, half naked
and famished, wandered into one
of our Western settlements, beg
ging for food to keep him from
starving. While eagerly devour-
ing the bread bestowed by the
hand of charity, a bright colored
ribbon, from which was suspend
ed a small, dirty pouch, was seen
about his neck. On being ques-
toned, he said it was a charm
given him in his younger days;
and opening it, displayed a fad
ed, greasy paper. which he hand
ed TO the interrogation for inspec-
ton. 1t proved to be a regular
discharge from the federal army,
emitting him to a pension for
life, and signed by Gen. George
Washington himself! Now, here
was name which would be hon
ored almost anywhere, and which,
if presented in the right place,
would have ensured him support
and plenty for the remainder of
his days; and yet he wandered
about hungry, helpless, and for
lorn, begging of the charitable,
bread to keep him from famish-
ing. What picture of men with
all the promises of Jesus in their
hand-and of Christians, too,
with the character of their inner
itance in full possession yet
starving in the wilderness.

Specialities in Farming.

General farming or mixed hus-
bandry in more than nine cases
out of ten Will be found to be bet
ter than exclusive attention to
any one speciality.
The owners of cranberry marsh
es cannot be generally farmers |;
those who have no land tit for
tillage cannot grow grain, but
the general rule holds good. The
reasons are too many to dis
cuss in full. The general system
enables the farmer to more eco
nomically make use of his own
or hired labor-work can better
be distributed throughout the
year. 1t is a rule, better adapt
ed to retaining or increasing the
fertility of the soil, and it secures
the farmer from the evils follow
ing the fluctuations in price in all
specialties. With a good crop
of tobacco or hops selling at fifty
cents a pound, the speciality farm
er can look with undisguised
pity on his plodding neighbor; ;
but if one of these crops be his
sole dependence and sell at three
cents a pound, the plodding
neighbor may be asked for the
loan of enough money to buy the
necessaries of life for a year. 1t
seems paridoxical, but We cannot
always afford to cultivate those
crops alone which seem to pay
the best Western Farmer.

Supposed New PotatoDisease

A new potato disease is describ-
ed as having made its appearance
near Jena, Prussia. 1t attacks
the tuber directly and not the
leaves.
The tuber becomes covered by
purplish felt, which is the myce-
lum of a fungus. The skin of the
potato is sometimes apparently
not penetrated by the mycelium,
the. contrary being the fact in
other cases. In the latter event
the tuber becomes completely
destroyed by a cancerous disease.
The fungus belongs to the ge
nus Seleroticum, and, according
to Prof. Holliss, the remedy will
probably be the same as in ordin
ary potato disease-namely, the
selecting of early kinds, using on
ly mineral and no animal nor veg
etable manures, and with a care
full selection of the best adapted
soil. The Rev. M. ]. Berkly, the
eminent fungologist, however
has lately announced that this is
the well-known Cooper Web"
which some years is very destruc-
tive to asparagus, mint, and 9th
erscrops, and has been known, to
some extent, to attack the potato.

Harvest.

"Grandpa! Papa has nearly
finished harvest" said little Ed.
ward Clinton, one bright sunny
morning in July, as his grandpa
called to see them on his way to
the city, a few miles from their
home.
II am glad to hear it, my boy"
said Mr.. Clinton ; chow much is
left unfnished?"
"Oh," said Edward, "we finish
ed stacking barley yesterday, and
now there is only the clover to
cut, which l think we shall do to-
morrow"
"Then l suppose you have been
helping in your way, Edward p
said his grandpa.
"Oh, yess 1 like to be in the
fields SO much; l am SO sorry
the harvest is nearly over"
"But l have not done sowing
yet," said Mrs. Clinton, who was
present during this conversation.
So all harvest will not be so
quickly finished"
ssMamma." said Edward, "you
do not sowr'
"Do not, Edward ? but l hope
to reap, and to reap even while l
continue sowing; but l must
have the sunshine and rain from
heaven to make my seed (which
is of a peculiar natnre) fruitful"
"Mamma. l cannot think what
you mean," said Edward; "please
do tell me. l have never seen
you sowing or reaping; do tell
me, if you please, mammal"
81 understand, Edward" said
his grandpa.
"My dear little boy" said Mrs.
Clinton, ssdo l not often sow the
seeds of instruction in your minds
And there must be the outpour-
lngs of the Holy Spirit OF God,
and the smile of his countenance
before the seeds can srping up !;
but while l continue to SOW, ]. do
hope to see the fruit of previous
obstruction, that l may be en-
couraged to persevere, and SOW
still more precious seed"
"And l hope dear mamma, you
will see the fruit of your labor"
And the afectionate little boy
kissed his mamma as he spoke,
and they then received a SOM
mons to dinner.
My dear children, do you ever
pray that the good seed sown in
your minds by your parents and
teachers may be watered by the
Spirit of God, and that his gra-
cious Spirit may strengthen and
increase their growth? Now is
the seed-time; by and by will
come the harvest; and oh, may
none of us ever exclaim, with hor-
ror: ''The harvest is past, the
summer is ended, and l am not
savedp'

Fireside Department.


A man ofvery pleasing address
but very dishonest in his practi-
ces, once said to an honorable
merchant, 81 would give fifty
thousand pounds for your good
name"
"Why SO p asked the other, in
some surprise.
Because l could make a hun
dred thousand pounds out of it.
The honorable character, which
was at the bottom of the good
name, he cared nothing for; it
was only the reputation, which
he could trun to account in moll-
ey point of view, which he cove
ted.
But a good name of all other
possessions, must be fairly earn
ed. When it is possessed, it is bet
ter business capital than a great
sum of money. 1t is a fortune
any boy or girl may secure.
Honesty must be its foundation,
even in the smallest particulars.
When an employer says, "There
is a boy l can trust" that youth
will always find himself in de
mand, provided he joins industry
with honor. "The hand of the
diligent maketh rich"
1t seems hard at the time, per-
haps, to be bound to a careless
round OF work, while other boys
are lounging, or playing on the
green. But the reward will come
if you are faithful. While idlers
are dragging out a miserable life
time in privation and poverty,
the hard working boy lives at his
ease, respected and honored.
Remember that if you desire
to make your way in the world,
there is nothing that can serve
your purpose like a name for hon.
esty and industry; and you will
never acquire either if you are a
loiterer about the streets, and
neglectful of your business. "a
good name is rather to be chosen
than great riches, and loving ia
vor rather than silver and gold"

The Convict Teacher.

We do not know how true the
statements in the following par
agraph from a daily paper may
be, similar trifles have fixed the
bent of many a distinguished
man:
"The late DIR. John Torrey, the
distinguished scientist, is said to
have first acquired a taste for
scientific pursuits in the follow
ing remarkable manner: His
father held some official station
which required him to visit N. Y.
and the lad frequently accom-
panied the parent on these tours
Of inspection. In the old State
Prison, which at that early day
was somewhere about Twenty
third street, and situated in the
country, they found man in the
Office of the superintendent who
had been condemned to serve
out a short term, but was gener-
ally believed to have been inno-
cent of any offence. This pris-
oner was taken into the office to
keep the books. He was a man
of learning, and especially a fine
botanist. Whenever young Tor
ry appeared at the prison, the
book keeper would point out
from the window some plants
growing in the vacant lots oppo-
site, and asked the boy to go and
fetch them the two then sat
down in in the office to analize
and dissect the specimens, pre-
senting the curious spectacle of a
prisoner in convict's costume
teaching a well dressed-boy. The
lad never forgot the lessons, and
from the taste thus acquired dates
bis application to the study of

Storing Honey in the Fall.

In many portions of the Wes
tern prairies, but more especially
where there are extensive rivel
bottoms and other low lands
abounding in Fall flowers, bees
often store honey faster than al
any other season of the year
When this is the case, care should
be taken to see that the bees are
provided with surplus boxes to
store away the sweets, taking
them away as fast as filled. II
an extractor be used, empty them
Immediately and return the emp
ty comb to the hive. If, however,
the honey is to!be retained in the
combs, the. surplus must not be
taken until the cells be capped
entirely over; Tor if so, the hon
ey will leak. There is also dang
er of its becoming sour.
When the bees cease to gather
honey, they should be known to
have sufficient store to carry them
through the Winter; but in all
seasons when the bees gather
surplus honey well through Sep,
there is but little danger but
that they will have sufficient
stores in the body of the hive.
When the blossoms are scarce
in the Autumn, if many hives be
kept, bees are apt to rob their
neighbors. To obviate this they
should be closely watched, and
the colonies that are weak should
have the entrance of their hives
closed, so as to admit only one
bee at a time; or weak swarms
may be united and fed. But it
must be admitted that bees that
require to be fed during Autumn
are not apt to winter SO we'll as
those that have sufficient stores,
especially iffed on syrup. There
fore we advise feeding with hon
ey, which may be done by placing
caps on top of the hive in the
space left 1or surplus honey.

nNWII this effectual REM
edy for all diseases
of the Throat and
Lungs. A vast tri-
al Of its virtues,
throughout this and
other countries, has
shown that it does
surely and effectuaIly control them. The tes-
timony of our best citizens, of all classes, es-
tablishes the fact, that CHERRY PICTORIAL
will and does relieve and cure the. affecting
disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any
other medicine. The most dangerous affee-
tions of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its
power; and cases of Consumption, cured
by this preparation, are publicly known, so
remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
thew not proven beyond dispute. As rem
edy it is adequate, on which the public may
reiy for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, 1t
saves unnumbered lives, and an amount OF
suffering not to be computed. It challenges
trial, and convinces the most sceptical.
Every family should keep it on hand as a
protection against the early and unperceived
attacks of Pulmonary Affections, which are
easily met at first, but which become incura-
BILE, and too often fatal, if neglected. Tender
lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to
be without it. As a safeguard to children,
amid the distressing diseases which beset the
Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PEcToRAL is Invaluable; for, by its timely
use, multitudes are rescued from premature
graves, and saved to the love and affection
centred on them. 1t acts speedily and surely
against ordinary colds, securing sound and
health-restoring sleep. No one will suffer
