A Commuter.

The commuters on the N. Haven road,
says the Danbury man, have held sever
al meetings recently to give the partici-
pants opportunity to declare the road
to be a fiendish monopoly, and its Off
GERS thieves. For the benefit OF those
of our readers who don't trayel, we wish
to explain that q commuter is q man
gifted at euchre; he wears large buttons,
elegant studs, and occupies two seats.
When not engrossed in the vagaries OF
the game he ightens care by throwing
spit-balls, and altogether he is man
who suffers mush. We are glad he is
holding meetings, and hope it eases
him.

last gift, a mother.r feel safe in say
ing, II ] may Judge from my own ex-
perience. there are times when words
are empty and useless. Then 1t Is sin
to use them. At her death was such
time to me. TO me, 1t was only an
appropriate occasion to weep. "Think
what earth Is, compared with the
world to which her young spirit has
winged its flight, and say, II one de-
liberate wish, expressed In solemn
tones above this bed, could call her
back to life, which of us would utter it?"
Though we must answer no one, still
we ask to be left alone to weep. Why
should we weep? though we see an
empty chair, a vacant desk, idle books,
a little class shattered, the gloom Of
death spread over the countenances Of
her schoolmates, and last and most
of all, little family all sad and scr-
rowing. Is there no hope? This Is too
sad; we could not bear it, parents and
pupils, II 1t were not for our hope
which reaches beyond the grave.
However in view of this hope, we ought
rather to rejoice that one fair deathless
flower, just budding inte womanhood,
should have been transpianted to bloom
in q fairer lime, surrounded by spir-
its more congenial, and, hence, better
suited to herpure wants while growing
to q woman perfected. Then let US
draw aside the curtains Of grief, throw
open the shutters and wholly unshroud
and raise high the windows Of the soul,
that the sunlight Of Heaven may shine
in, and cause what is good within US
to spring forth and clothe the hid
den man of the heart, with the
ornament of meek and quiet
spirit, which il in the sight Of God
Of great price. Owing to the fact
that We shall soon follow, let US be up
and doing" that our work may be
done, and well done, our treasure
safely stored beyond the ravages Of
moth, rust or thieves, ere we are
gathered into the city Of the dead.
While looking through tears of sorrow,
we bid our little friend and pupil, Lille
May Nichols, farewell. We believe
we shall see her through tears Of Joy,
when it is said to US, "well DONE"
We shall try not to sorrow longer, be-
lieving she has only gone before, but
will instead ask that each,

Planting Fruit Trees.

Whether spring or autumn is the
best time for planting fruit trees, is a
vexing question. How it may best be
done is Of most importance. Many
think the question of expense settled
by the cost of the trees, yet every man
who does not spend double, triple ol
quadruple the cost of the trees in plant
ing them, is making a great mistake.
Nothing that is worth doing at all is
worth doing 50 well as planting fruit
trees. Wherever a tree is 10 be plant
II the soil should be enriched to the
lepth of at least,tw feet. and not less
than six feet across. This preparation
should precede planting at least a
month. No raw manure, or other sub
stance liable to fernent while decom-
posing, should come in contact with
the roots. Don't hesitate to post Pone
planting one or two years, in order to
MAKE thorough preparation. This j.

.our years, and pear trees i'll six; and
they never die prenatarely, rs do
thousands planted in the sl0ycnly
fashion that prevails.
The scarcity Of trees, for Il few years
past, has stimulated propagation TO an
extent that we fear will lead 10 low
prices, and this in'its turn 10 excessive
and careless planting in the future, as

A SUPERIOR GLUE.-Dissolve three
parts of India rubber in thirty-flur
parts of naptha. Heat and agitation
will be required to readily effect the
solution. When the rubber is COM
pletely dissolved, add sixty-four parts
of finely-powdered shellac, which must
be heated in the mixture until all is
dissolved. This mixture may be OBJ
tanned in sheets Ike glue, by pouring
it, when hot, upon plates Of metal,
where it will harden. When required
for use, it may be simply heated iii a
pot till soft. Two pieces of wood or
leather joined together with this glue
can scarcely be sundered without q
fraction OR tearing of the parts.

PROF. J. d. BUTLER.

WHEAT AND RYE FLoUR.-Recent
experiments have confirmed the sup
position that the inferior quality OF
certain kinds of wheat and rye flour is
frequently due to tie action ofsunlight,
by which, even when in bags or par-
rels, the gluten suffers a metamorpho-
sis similar to that occasi0ned by heat
ing in the mill. The tendency thus i'm
parted to it to become lunpy, and to
form dough without toughness, is sim
liar to that of flour from moist grain,
or of flour when it is too fresh, or made
from grain ground too early, or when
adulterated with barley-meal.

!, CEMENTING METAL TO GLASS
Take two parts finely powdered white
litharge and one part dry white lead,
mix intimately, and work up with
boiled linseed-oil and lac copal to a
stiff dough. One part of copal is taken
to three parts boiled oil, and enough
litharge and white lead added to make
a dough similar to putty. The under
side CT the metal is filled with the ce-
meat, and then pressed upon the glass,
the excess of cement being scraped of
with any sort of instrument. 1t dries
quickly and holds firmly.
