Making People Happy.

A poetica1 writer has said that some
men move through life as a band of mu-
sic moves down the street, finging out
pleasure on every side through the air,
to every one, far and near, that can
listen. Some men fill the air with their
strength and sweetness, as the orchards
in October days fill the air with the ripe
fruit. Some women cling to their own
house like the honeysuckle over the
door yet, like it, fill all the region with
the subtle fragrance of their goodness.
How great a bounty and blessing it is to
hold the royal gifts of the soul that they
shall be music to some, fragrance to
others, and life to all. 1t would be no
unworthy thing to live for, to make the
power which we have within US the
breath of other mems joys to fill the
atmosphere which they must stand in
with a brightness which they can moi
create for themselves.

Boys and Their Mothers.

Some has written beautifully to
the boys in the following manner. Here
is a whole sermon in a few sentences:
"Of all the love affairs in the world,
none can surpass the true love of the
big boy for his mother. 1t is love
pure and noble, honorable in the highest
degree to both. I do not mean merely q
dutiful affection. [ mean a love which
makes a boy gallant and courteous to
his mother, saying to everybody plainly
that he is in love with her. Next to the
love of her husband, nothing so crowns
q woman's life with honor as this second
love, this devotion of son to her. And I
never yet knew a boy turn out bad
who began by falling in love with his
mother. Any man may fall in love with
a fresh-faced girl, and the man who is
gallant with the girl may cruelty neglect
the worn and weary wife. But the boy
who is a lover to his mother in her mid
die age is a true knight who will love his
wife as much in the sere leaved autumn
as he did in the daisied spring time"

sition apply to the Northern Temperate
Zone. A little consideration will help
us TO understand that, in the Southern
Temperate Zone, the direction of the
rotary movement is the opposite to that
of storms in this region the winds blow
round the vortex the same way that the
hands of a watch move. In the Torrid
Zone, within what are technically known
as the "doldrums" (the limits of true
cyclone a~ction), the difference between
the lengths of the successive parallels of
latitude is so small that the conditions
of rotary motion are present but feebly,
and not at all on the equator.
1t is evident that this knowledge is of
much greater practical value on the
water than ON the land added to which,
storms move with more regularity Oh the
ocean than on shore, the motion not
being interfered with by irregularity of
surface. On land our theoretical circle
often becomes an irregular ellipse, but
on the ocean the circular form is very
nearly preserved. The mariner may
avoid serious damage, and perhaps total
loss, by a knowledge of these facts of
storm motion, by steering as nearly as
may be away from the vortex. This may
be accomplishedby keepingthe starboard
side to windward, and getting out of the
track if the storm-center be moving to-
wards the first noted place of the vessel.
Some of our o~cean-going anne are
already educated up to a knowledge OF
these facts, and an appreciation of their
value !; and there can be no doubt that q
more thorough dissemination of the
principles of storm science will result in
a material diminution in the annual per
centage of loss by slipwreck.-EAas

There are a great many animals. The
elephant is the largest animal now liv-
ing. 1t is a native of Asia and Africa,
but they differ in some respects, the
native of Africa having five toes and the
Asiatic but three. The elephant is gen.
orally a very mild animal if you let him
alone, but if you do anything to injure
his reputation you have to suffer for it.
He is of a darkish mouse color. They
never forget an injury done them. Once
upon a time there was o circus in a
town, and there was a man went to it
well, haint that true? Well you see he
gave the elephant a cookey, I guess he
did. Then the elephant put up his pro-
boscls, expecting to get another cookey,
but instead he got some tobacco. The
elephant looked sleepy like and the
man did not suppose he noticed him.
The tobacco Infatuated the elephant an6
the man thought it was not healthy fol-
him there, so he struck out and made
tracks. The man again went to tina
circus, four years from the other date
and went to look at the elephant. TIL,
elephant recognized him, and the ele
plant with stroke of his monstroui
paw sent him to the happy huntin,

Charcoal and Sulphur for Hogs.

In every hog pen there should be de
posted weekly a quantity of charcoal.
The hog eagerly devours this substance,
and is greatly benefited and strengthen
ed by its use. 1t prevents many I'M
to the fatty secretions. A few spoonfuls
of ~pulverized birthstone or flowers of
sulphur, in a little dough, should be
administered as often as once a fort
night to swine while ~fattening. Soft
coal forms a fair substitute for both of
these substances, as it is chiefly car
bon, with which some sulphur is COM
bined.

FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Queries.

A wistful little face,
With great, brown, solemn eyes,
Comes haunting me each day
With questions of the skies.
Whether they're near or far;
Whether there are any stairs
Which lead up to the stars;
And Tell about the bears,
"And bout the lion, too;
And will he roar and bites
And did he make that noise
Called thunder t'other nightT
d" And, Aunty, if the moon,
That looks so big and bright,
Should drop down on the ground
Some real cold winter night,
How could they put it back?
And would the man that's in it
Jump out and run away,
Perhaps just in a minute7
" AID if the sky is Heaven,
Why don't they have a door,
And, Aunty, what a billion
OF stars are on the hoor!"
A wistful little face,
With it's great solemn eyes,
So follows me each day
For knowledge of the skies;
Till oft I'm left to dream,
Until recalled by Maud,
Who whispers: "Auntie, dear,
Tell me, how big is Gods"

FARM n GARDEN.
Drilling Corn.

At the Michigan Agricultural College,
in 1868, two plots of land were set apart,
substantially equal in character of soil,
each measuring forty-eight rods in
width. The ground was plowed May 5,
and mi was spread evenly and work
ed in by c~ultivator and harrow. Yellow
Dent corn was planted May 81, in rows
four feet apart one of the plots being
planted in hills, the other in drills. The
plots were cultivated and hoed June Is,
and again July 7, the plants being
thinned so as to leave the same number
of stalks on each plot, including the
equal distribution of plants throughout
the subdivision of the plots. AS near
as possible, each of the two plots re-
ceived the same amount of labor and
cultivation. The stalks were cut at the
bottom September II, and stacked in
good order three weeks afterward the
corn was husked and weighed. The
stalks then again carefully stacked, and
were hauled and weighed, in good con-
dition, October II. The corn on the
portion planted in hills was better in
quality than on that planted in drills.
But the drilled portion produced IA 1-6
bushels shelled corn, and three tons of
stalks to the acre, against 65k bushels of
shelled corn, and q tons of stalks per
acre produced by the portion in hills.

The Critical Periods of Human Life.

From the age of forty to sixty, a man
who properly regulates himself may be
considered Ill the prime of life. His
matured strength of constitution renders
him almost impervious to the attacks of
disease, and all his functions are of the
highest order. Having gone a year or
two past sixty, however, he arrives at a
critical period of existence; the river of
Death flows before him, and he remains
at a stand-still. But athwart this river
is a viaduct called "The Turn of Life"
which, if crossed in safety, leads to the
valley of cold Age" round which the
river winds, and then flows beyond with
out a boat or causeway to affect its pas
sage. The bridge is, however, con-
structed of fragile materials, and it de-
pends how it is trodden whether it bends
or breaks. Gout, apoplexy and other
bad characters are also in the vicinity to
waylay the traveller and thrust him from
the pass but let him grid up his loins
and provide himself with perfect COM
posure. To quote a metaphor, the
"Turn of Life is a turn either into a
prolonged walk or into the grave" The
system and powers, having reached their
utmost expansion, now begin to close
like flowers at sunset, or break down al
once. One injudicious stimulant, a single
fatal excitement, may force it beyond its
strength; while a careful supply of props,
and the withdrawal of all that tends tc
force a plant, will sustain it in beauty
and in vigor until night has nearly set in.

been plowed for corn, after the ground
had been broken, the weeds grew more
rapidly. Consequently L broke it again
the Goth of June. On the 1st of Sep
TENDER following, I plowed the entire
field, and sowed in wheat. The result
was as follows The half which had
only received a single blowing yielded
per acre Is bushels and IS pounds the
half that received three breakings yield
ed per acre % bushels and 40 pounds,
which made a difference of more than 10
bushels per acre At one dollar per
bushel, this would pay for the extra
blowing and leave a net extra profit of
six dollars per acre besides.
