INVISIBLE VEGETATIoN.-An ordinary mi
croscope reveals the fact that green mould in
cheese, or that which gathers on pot of pre-
serves when exposed to the air, IS We etable
as much as a field of sweet potatoes. Minute
rs these rambling vines must be, not to he
recognized as being anything more than a
green hue, they produce seeds. These are
d,ated off in the atmosphere so as to take
root when lodged in favorable place for ger
minatlon. But the strangest thing about
these invisible seeds with which the air is
Immensely charged, is their inhalation into
the RESPIRATORY cells of our lungs. 1t is now
fully believed by some eminent scientists, that
several forms of pulmonary disease are due to
the presence of these delicate tissues. Irri-
tation OF the mucous membrane of the tubes
leading into the lungs is speedily propagated
INTO the interior. 1t long continued, espe-
cialiy by the Judgment OF foreign matter, III

pores of Invisible vegetable growths, lotg-

pulmonary irritation that often terminates
IN fatal consumption. By breathing pure
air, in we'll ventilated roo.ls, we avoid the

FOREST CULTURE-Few subjects can come
nelore Scientific Convention OF more i'm
portance than that which formed the subj CT
of Prof. Franklin B. Hough's essay read re-
Gently at Portland Forest culture is the
tearess and most undoubted need of the day
throughout our country. For more than two
centuries our people have been In the habit
ot regarding trees As their natural enemies,
good for nothing but to be destroyed. The
x of the pioneer has never rested for an
nour in the West since Daniel Bone first
moved toward the sunset. The consequence
s that the forests of most OF the Western
States are virtually destroyed. The results
ire of the most discourag'ng kind. Hlls,
oslng this natural revetme1t, are crumbiing
away. Brooks and rivers are drying up.
The soil is becoming parched and ARID. We
not precisely apslDg into Oscillation, but
We are making beginning that way IN the
dnnIhIlatIoD Of our woods.
Professor Hugh gave gave succinct ac-
count OF some of the European systems OF
forest culture, and admitted all the difficult
ties which would attend the transplantation
Of such systems to this country. But not
deferred by these obstacles he suggests a
dou BILE series of efforts to set on foos the con-
servatIve measures which are absolutely nee
essary to save our forests from ruin. In the
first place, every possible means should be
employed to excite among the people an in
telllgent interest in these matters. Farmers
should be taught how important it is for the
genera and individual good, TO cultivate and
preserve the trees of the forest, and con-
vlnced OF the value which will be added to
all their arabic land by the cultivation OF
foe groves in the midst of it. The share
when should be assigned to Legislation in
this good work is f. US defined. Tue State
may assist in it, without prejudice to prl-
vale rights: L. By withholding from sale
lands CHI, fly valuable for timber, and by es-
Cabllrhing laws by which the State might
realize tue profit from necessary thinning
1ut. 2. By exempting from taxation for a
limited time lands planted for timber 3
by Offering bounties to county towns and
Individuals Tor the greatest number of trees
painted and made to thrive. 4. By requir-
ing rail and other roads to plant trees by
ehelr waysides. 5. By imposing tree tax
payable IN tree-plantlng or money-the sum
% be expended IN planting trees This might
,e under local supervision. 6. By protecting
frees by the wayside by adequate penalties.
7. By requiring the elements OF science ap-
piicable 20 forestry to be sht In the publ,
cnools. Special schools might ultimately be
,Vuuded.
these are all eminently practical and sen

many plants. Pull up all but one; and as the
mignonette is treated without any dellcacy,
the single plant that is left in the middle of
the pot may be vigorously trimmed, leaving
only one shoot. Tnis shoot must be attached
to slender stick. The extremity OF this

that must be cut off entirely, not leaving a
single bud. The stock in consequence of this
treatment, will put out multitude of young
shoots, that must be allowed to develop free

J1SEPH.-Ina recent exploration of Egypt,
nine miles above the pyramids are found,
what now remains of the great city of Mem
phis, which had circumference Of fifteen
miles, and was the seat of the earliest
monarchy in Egypt. The only thing worth
recording is, that here was the great temple
of Pbthah, the chief divinity of Lower
Egypt, and the celebrated ball of Apis. The
only monument that is now to be seen is a
colossal figure Of Rameses the Great, fallen
on its face, and mutilated at both extremi-
ties When erect it stood nearly forty
three feet high, and was one of the statues
erected by Sesostrls in front of the temple.
% the opposite bank, west Of the Nile,
are the celebrated Grottos of Benz Hassan,
the burial place of the twelfth dynasty. and
with the pyramids, the oldest royal tombs IN
Egypt while on the eastern side are great
numbers of catacombs cut out in the side OF
the hills In one Of these is the TACT re-
corded of The gears of famine, and that

another tomb, "the tomb of Nahum, is
large painting, representing procession OF
foreigners, which is supposed to be the
actual picture of the arrival OF Jacob and
his family in Egypt. The occupant of the
tomb, a noble OF the military caste, is repre-
sentet standing to receive procession,
beaded by scribe, who bears a scroll
inscribed with the sixth year OF Sesostris H.,
describing the characters. The chief is

A >ODg for the Harvest.
BY JOHN W. CHADWICK.


Come list TO song 70 the Harvest;
Thanksgiving and honor and praise,
For all that the bountiful Giver
Hath given to gladden. our days.
For the grain and the corn in their plenty.
For the grapes that were ga hered with song,
For the pumpkins so brave with Their yellow,
They had lived upon sunbeams SO long.
For cranbsrries down in the Meadow,
And the buckwheat that famed on the hill,
And bIueberries tempting the children
To wander aad pluck them at VII.
For the peaches that blush through their pallor
Or glow like pretty quadroOn,
As they dream OF the IL the morning,
Or welcome his kisses at noon.
For the Eeet- smelling hay and the clover,
That sweeten the breath of tne kIne;
And the apples that n3ered dreading
The air and the Light to resign.
Ard not for the fruit-harvest only
We offer our thanks and our praise;
Not less than me leaves and the blossoms
Made brighter and bette, The days.
The leaves that delight with cir greenuess,
That soften tie hea' with their shade,
And nestle so crisply ia Autumn,
To stat e the lover and maid.
For the blossoms int whiten in M'y-t'me
The ground, as III sIow, they fail
For the fl pw'"ets that hisper their meanings
In cottage and howell and hall.
Aye. thanks for the ha-sest of BeautvI
Fo that which tie hand cannot hold
The harvest eyes ly can gather.
Which only. ur heats can enioldl
We have reaped it on mountain ard mOorland;
We have CLEANED it from meadow and lea,
We have ga nered It in the C Oudi nd
We have bound it in sheayes ron the sea.
And III nks that the whole OF the harvest
Is net for the ch,ldrGn Of men;
That III" birds and the beasts remembered.
The dive lers in river and fen;
Then he giveth them meat in due season,
And hrarelh their cry when ey call
The tiniest, weaKest among them,
The hu2est and It ongest o all.
Bnt the song l. goes aepper and higher;
There are ha vests which ere cannot see;
They riprn o1 mountains of Dltv.
Thev are 'eaped b. me brave a n free.
AM these have been gathered AMI garnered;
Some COLLEEN with no o. and gain
And some with hears blood made rudy.
The hary SITS of sorrow and pa n.
Alas for our ptiiul singing,
F all il has aste so long

Has not been expires ell in our song.
But He who IS Lord of the Harvest

An IINspoTrEp CHARACrER.-Money

AN UNspoTTED CHARAcTER.-Money is
a good thing, especially in these hard times,
but there is something a thousand told
more valuable. 1t is characteristic con-
seriousness of a pure and honorable life
This it should be a mans first aim to pre-
serve at any cost. In times ofcommercial
distress, while some are proved and found
wanting, others come forth tried as BY
fire. Here and there comes out of the
furnace far more Of q man than before.
Amid the wreck of his fortune he stands
erect-a noble specimen of true manhood.
We have occasionally witnessed an ex-
ample of courage in such crisis of moral
intrepidity, that deserves all honor. Let
it be the aim of every business man, above
all things else, to keep his purity unstain-
ed. This il his best possession-this is q
capital which can never be taken from him
this is the richest inheritance which he
can leave bis childreu.-Ezchange.

Perhaps it would be nearer right to say a

of those who take their spoonful SO persist
