What Love Is.

That alteration which a young man
gives to a 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 nature under
the influence of autumn sunsets, or
pillafed vitas, or calm, majestic statues,
or Beethoven symphonies, all bring
with them the consciousness that they
are mere waves and ripples in an I'M
fathomable ocean of love and beauty /,
our emotion in its Ike enest moment
passes from expression into silence
our love, at its highest floods 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 ito feel its wondrous
harmonies searching the subtlest wind

of life where no memory can penetrate,
and binding together your whole being.

said about live fence posts, and no one
gives q practical idea. have seen
quite number of live fence posts
growing. Ii any of your numerous
readers wish to try it, let them get
either willow, cottonwood, or LON
hardy poplar large enough for the post,
cut it off the right length, space it off
the width they want the planks apart,
take a two inch anger, bore two or
three holes--to suit the board for six
inch fence plank two holes are enough
then chop out the centre with long,
harrow-bit axe, point the.plank so each
end will pass into the post, dig the
holes, set the posts in early spring as
soon as the frost is out of the ground,
taking care not to injure the bark, and
either of the woods named will grow
Get young, thsifty timber, not too
large. Cutting holes through the
post does not lnjure it from growing,
and the plank remains firm, if not
broken, for years. / know of post and
rails made in this way that have been

is used, will have to be bored with an

good rails are best), then only the

ing the past two or three years of
failure of hop-settings TO grow, ] will
state what | conceive TO be some Of the
causes. But in the first place, / will
say that hop roots or sets dug in proper
time, which depends something on the
season, say from the 18th TO the 25th of
April, and preserved in the right man
ner, and set as they should be, within
ten days, are as certain TO grow as are
potatoes Roots which are dug late in
the season, and have sprouted before
being dug, are worthless, and the
planting of such roots is the main cause
Of failure. Another cause is, roots are
dug and thrown in piles in the yard or
in the cellars and allowed TO heat, and
tins cannot be detected by any exami-
nation. Further, the best lots to be
had will waste FROM one fifth to one
seventh, many OF them being
barked in digging, and, consequently,
great care should be taken il preparing
the sets. The planting should be as early
as possible, and care taken 10 put them
too inches below the surface, in fur
rows or otherwise, and cover three
inches deep, with a broad hill 10 retain
the moisture should the season prove
dry. Manuring in the hill is not a
good plan. II the season is dry the
manure has tendency 10 dry them
out, and il wet they are more liable TO
rot. II is better 10 manure early in the
fall-say as soon a. the 18th OF Oc-

the benefit of the manure through the
fall rains. | order my roots or 60 and
get them myself, taking care to get the
first roots dug, and never have any
