What are Onions worth?

Not the price per bushel, but
their value in a family. They are
good for the Group. Roasted on
ions saved boys life, who was
dangerously sick with that fear
fully dangerous and quick disease
1t was a long road to a doctors
office; SO the mother was obliged
to rely upon home remedies to
save her child. The onions were
thoroughly roasted. A part made
into a poultice and laid upon his
chest, and from the remainder
the juice was extracted and given
him, which gave immediate relief
and effected a cure.
Mothers remember this simple
remedy. Then they are good for
the ear-ache. A gentleman was
suffering most intensely with ear
ache. Curatives of reputation
failed. An onion poultice applied
gave almost instant relief. They
are good for colds, no matter
whether roasted, boiled or fried.
They are valuable as an appetizer,
bring sweet sleep and a perfume
unequaled in rank with any of
the vegetable world. Give to the
poor abused onions a deep rich
corner in your garden Ohio Far

Gem from the German

Sophran,s a wise teacher,did not
allow his grown up sons and
daughters toassociate with whose
conduct was not perfectly correct
and proper. Dear father, said
the gentle Eulalie to him one day
when he forbade her going in
company with her brother to see
the light minded Lucinda, you
must take US to be childish if you
think she can do us any harm.
But the father quietly took an
extinguished coal from the fire.
place, and reached it to his daugh-
ter. 1t does not burn, said he;
take it child! Eulalie did so and
behold her delicate hand and
pure white dress were soiled at
once. One cannot be too care
full in touching coal! said she, Jim
patiently. Certainly! replied her
fahter. You see my child, that
coal blackens even where it does
not burn; SO does the society OF
the immoral.

The Broom Forgotten.

Some years ago there was a
crossing sweeper in Dublin, with
his broom at the corner, and
in all probability his highest
thoughts were to keep the cross
ing clean and look for the pence.
One day lawyer put his hand
upon his shoulder and said to
him. ufot1cr
My good fellow do you know
that you are heir to a fortune OF
ten thousand pounds a year?
Do you mean it,said he.
/ do said he. l have just re
ceived the information; am sure
you are the man.
He walked away and forgot
his broom. Are you astonished.
Why, who would not have forgot:
ten broom when suddenly made
possessor of ten thousand year.
So poor sinners, who have been
thinking of the pleasures of the
world, when they hear there is a
heaven to be had, may well for
get the deceitful pleasuses of sin
and follow after higher and better
things.

Do Your Best.

When l was a little boy,said a
gentleman,I paid a visit one eve
ming, to my grandfather, vener
able old man, whose black vel
vet cap and tassel, blue breeches
and huge silver nee-buckles fill
ed me with awe. When | went
to bid him boodbye, he drew me
between his knees and placing
his hand upon my head, said,
Grandchild,I have one thing to
say to you;will you.remember it'll
looked into his face and nodded
for | was afraid to answer aloud.
Well he continued, whatever you
do, do the best you can.
This in fact, was my grandfath-
er's legacy to me, land it has prov
ed better than gold. l never for
get his words,a and / believe l have
tried to act upon them. After
reaching home, my uncle gave
me and Robert some wedding to
do In the garden. 1t was Wednes-
day afternoon, and we had laid
our plans for something else.
Robert vexed and ill-humored at
his disappointment, did not more
than half do his work; and l be-
gan pretty much like him until
grandfather's advice came into
my mind, ,and l determined to fol-
low it. In word / did my best.
And when my uncle came out, l
shall never forget his look of ap-
probation as his eyes glanced
over my beds, or the fourpence
he slipped into my hands after
ward as he said my work was well
done Ah,I was a glad and thank
full boy, while poor Robert was
left to drudge over his weeds all
the afternoon.
AT fifteen l was sent to an
academy, where l had partly to
earn the money to pay for being
taught. The lesson seemed hard
at first, for | was not found of STU
dy; but grandfather's advice was
my motto,and l tried my best.
As consequence of this, though
| was small of my age, and not
very strong,my mother had three
offers of a situation for me before
the year was out. When Joined |

By Letter.

There is great power in a
letter in your work with the
young. | find that some whom
| cannot reach in any other way,
are peculiarly sensitive to a few
lines from my pen. 1t hunts
out when personally they will
avoid you. 1t is very like to
stay by them,for they cannot face
down the letter as they can a
plain talk. But more than this,
to the already good or striving it
pays largely to drop a loving
and encouraging note. A few
years ago, preaching in a distant
out-of the way town, who should
meet me as l came out of the door
but an old schoolmate, and he was
intoxicated. 1t would not have
done to reprove him, nor even to
let him see that l discovered his
scottish condition. After greeting
him cordially,I left for home. But
once there l sat down and wrote
him letter. | took him by the
hand and pleaded with him for
his parents, himself, for every
good thing,to conquer his appe-
tite. That Letter went with him
for weeks and months, and he
never touched a drop. Whether
he is now safe or not, l do not
know,but l am sure the letter
was better than a conversation.
If teachers who cannot visit or be
visited by their scholars would
devote two hours a week to writ
ing them kind, earnest practical
notes, they would,if wise double
their influence. George has just
taken from his pocket a handful
of letters, and holding them up
he ssys,Mr. guess what that is.
Your letters to me. keep them
in my pocket all the time. That
one came when l was sick with
the fever, and oh, it just did me
so much good. l CESS l read it
twenty times. .-sst

Ventilation.

Small swarms of bees need but
little ventilation. A halfinch
auger hole above is sufficient,
with small entrance below. A
large swarm needs considerable
more, taking care to prevent, as
much as possible, a current of
air passing through the hive. 1t
is not expected that every parti-
Gle of moisture can escape;the OBJ
ject of ventilation, ,either above, ,on
the side, or at the bottom of the
hive is to get rid of as much as
possible of the moisture that ac-
cumulates in the hive.-NA.Bee
