WHY ENGLISH FARM LAB0RERS
EMIGRA1E.

A farm laborer was recently sum-
moued before a court in Exeter. Eng
land, charged with wilfully neglect
ing the support of his family, who
had been thrown on the parish and
had cost it Tor support five dollars q
week. The evidence showed that the
man was &C work aud got three dol
lars a week, out of which he had
to fed every thing: that more
than a third Of this was deducted by
his employers and turned over to the
authorities toward the uppOrt of his
family, and that he had tried hard to
get house, butcould not procure one
large enough for his family. The
magistrates, however, issued an order
commanding him TO pay up all ar
rears and get house for his family.
1t does not seem to have occurred 10
the court that if the maintance OF
the family in the work house cost five
dollars a week, it would be difficult to
support them ON three dollars ald
| find money for house rent and ar.
rears. The ways of English courts,
however, in such matters are quite
inscrutable. The incident is worth
quoting. however. as showing the
condition into which agricultural la
borers in England get before they find
courage TO "strike.n and as liiustrs-
ting also one of the compelling causes
which is swelling the emigration sta
tistics and draining England of the
best of her "bone and sinew."

4 SUCCESSFUL DODGE.

We had a visit from a book-ped-
ding female last week. She wished
to dispose of book. She was alone
in the world, and had no one to whom
she could turn for sympathy or assist
anee, hence we should buy her book.
She was unmarried. aud had no man
Iy heart into which she could pour her
sufierings; therefore we ought to in
vest IN her book. She had received a
very liberal education, and could talk
French like a native we could not in
consequence refuse to pay her two dol
lars for a book. She wanted to take
lessons in music from a learned Ger
man professor consequently we must
not decline buying a book. We had
listened attentiveiy, and here broke
in with, What do you say? we're
deaf?" She started in a very loud
voice, and again went through her
rigmarOle.
When she had finished, we went
and got a roll of paper and made i:

THE BALDWIN APPLE.

An article appeared in the Boston

that the Baldwin apple derived its
name from having originated in the
town Of Baldwin in Maine. 1t was

that we did not think it worth no.

{. We think it matter of some i'm

ton in which the apple is held. and
the universally Of its cultivation. It
has probably been worth more to
New England than any other single
apple Of our whole catalogue, and we
should hardly know how to get along
without it. The only thing that can
be objected to it Is its habit Of bearing
only every other year, but this can be
overcome by patience and perseve-

DEATH FROM ExCOMMUNICATION

The Cincinnati Gd=eEte gives an
account of the sad and strange death
Ofa Roman Catholic citizen of Kala-
maZpo, Michigan. 1t seem the man
lent q priest q sum of money to help
build a parish, which the Catholic
Bishop refused to recognize subse-
quently as a loan. The poor M n
fearing a foreclosure of the mortgage
on his farm, brought suite in chan
cery against the bishop. For doing
this he was forbidden to partake Of the
communion by the bishop during the
episcopal visit, and the ediet Of ex-
communication was read to MIN.
Fearfully frightened. he asked what
his offence hau been, aud was told
that he was exeOmmunlcated Tor nav
ing sued a bishop Of the church. Be
ing u devOut believer in the powers Of
the Clergy, he WAS frIghtsned nearly
uuL Of his wits, anu implOred The Dlsh-
OD To revoke the eXcOmmunlcatlOn-
This was done ON condition that ne
would withdraw his suit. He com
plied with the demand, and the IN
terdicL was removed. lL was too late
however, aud the wretehed man sank
ben, ath the weight OF his fancled
guilt, aud died. The matter has crs-
ated much excitement in Michigan,
as might be expected. Seuztor Em-
ersOn has introduced in the legisla-
ture bill Furnishing by fine OF one
t9five thousand dollars, or imprlson-
ment from one to five years, any oish-
op or priest who shall exeommun'eate,
or threaten TO excommunlcate, any
member, 70 prevent him from COM
mencing any suit or collecting any
claim.

FINDING HIDDEN TREASURES

1t has often been practice both in
eastern and western lands In trouble
some times % hide treasure in some
secret place, with the intention Of
recovering It tagain when peace should
Oe restored.
Various are the hiding places that
have been chosen-an old wall, the
hollow of a tree, hole in the ground.
But il has happened not seldom that
some one else has been 50 Fortunate
as 10 discover the hiding-plaee, and to
,,Ossess himself Of tht treasure, 10 the
OitIer disappointment OF the owner
when he went to look for what had
been hidden.
Such u finding is represented in the
parable: '-rne Kingdom of heaven Is
IiAe unto treasure hid IN held the
which when man hath found, he
hideth, and for joy thereof gOsLh and
selle.h all that he hath, and buyeLh
that field" A man finds treasure
hidden ia a field, probably while en-
gagged in ploughiDg. He tells his Sc
eret to no one, but, full Of joy, taxes
instant measure 70 make the prize MS
own. Carefully hiding it again out
OF sight, he goes and sells all that he
has, and buys that field. Now, no
.One can dispute bis right. When once
the field is his. he may claim all that

SOWING CEREALS TOGETHER.

Oflate years the attention Of sew
eral experimental English agricultu-
ri>ts (as well as some Canadian) has
been turned toward the possibility of
increasing the yield per acre of vari-
Gus cereals when sOwn together in
the same field. There seems little
doubt that much larger yield can
thus be obtained. Instances are QUO
ted where peas, oats, barley and
wheat. all sOwn together. have pro-
duced very large yield. This plan
ha been especially successful where
various sorts of wheat alone have
been sOwn together, or, as we should
term it, a mixed sample Of seed. One
man mentions 8 yield OF seventy
bushels of this mixed seed (Wheat) per
acre, and this great crop was com
posed of four different sorts of wheat.
A most Intelligent farmer in Picker
iEg lately told me he had succeeded
in raising upwards Of sixty bushels
an acre of mixefS wheat and harley
Another farmer, from Lower Canada,
states eighty busheis Of mixed barley,
oats and peas, and also states that in
his section IL is quite common thing
to thus mix seed. A correspondent
In England tells me that farmers in
his locality find mixing various sorts
of wheat often very successful, and
lately it has been much praeticed.-
