MIR. EDIroK:-About forty-fve years ago,
there lived o the banks of the Brandywine, a
man and his wife, who did not at all times pull
at the same end OF the roDe especially when the
good man had been INDUCING too freely. 1t so
happened one night when he had been imbib-
lng a little too much strong drink, that he and
his wife got into fight; woman like, she used
her vocal organs very freely, in such a way as
you know only woman can. A neighbor, Ga
Dir. Hudsun) hearing the cry. ran in and at
once without awaiting for any explanation, but
from the purcst motives, pitched light in. The
husband at once let 20 Of his life, and laid
hold "f the intruder, pulled him out Of tie door,
and threw him Oh large stone, and broke his
collar bone. The wife, as true as steel not Coli
sidering the lttle affair between her husband a
free fight. She came to the door and with
words of angelic sweetness, said, come in
dear Newlin you haven't hurt me yet. OF
course it made friends for the night of the man
and his wife. But the moral Is, be careful how
you interfere between a man and his wife, for
she will very often turn in with her good hus-
band and help him TO give you right good
whipping. S.W. ID.

Grapevines could be planted along each side OF
the garden and trained to trellises or fences
The vegetables should be planted in rows from
north to south, and 80 far apart that the horse

VALUE OF Corn FODDER DIR Nicbulls, In tile
Journal Of Chemistry, says: 18th opinion we
nave always held upon the question of the val
ne OF green corn fodder for mlch cows has been
that when raised for broadcast sowing 1t Is
nearly worthless, but whom sown In hills or In
drii,s, and cultivated, with access of air and
sunlight, II 10 Of high value. During the pres
ent scissor we have made some experiments to
test the correctness Of these views. Stalks were
collected from q field whee tho seed was sown
broadcast, and also stalks growing IN drills up
on the same Geld, and they were dried in a
drying closet to expel the moisture. Both
specimens were planted at the same time (the
9TH OF May), and 1t was found that the broad
cast sowing contained % per cent. Of wafer,
those from drills So per cent OF water Thus
Il was shown that the difference of solid matter
III the two was relative as 8 to IT per cent. The
solid matter was composed of starch, gum, SUI
gar, and woody fibre. There was almost an
entire absence Of sugar and gum In the stalks
nom the broadcast sowing, while the stalks that
had grown under the influence of light and air
held these nutriment principles, In considerable
quantities The aialks were collected at the
period ofgrowth just before the ear begins TO
form, period when most farmers b'gin to cut
| the louder Tor their cows. Our expe rhine nts
! upon corn fodder have offered us important in
formation upon other points. We find that the
| stalks cut before they reach a certain stage OF
growth are deficient in nutrient matter, and
| therefore II Is waste to feed them to eafly.--
The corn plant, like other vegetable structures,
has but one object or aim In its growth, and
that Is to produce seed. 1t Is engaged during
It's whole life in storeing up large quantities
OF starch, which Is to be used when the pres
sing occasion arrives, or the seed vessels mature
to form by some subtle, mysterious changes the
nutrient principles which are found In seeds
As soon as this struggle Is over, the corn plant
like all annuals, dies natural death. 1t 10 moi
necessary for frost TO strike 1t It dies from
simple exhaustion. Tue proper time to Gu,
and feed corn-stalks Is during the four or five
weeks which succeed infore scence, or IN
other words, they should not be cut until th,
flower Is fairly developed, and The ear commen
ces to form aud any corn that is so planted
that ths ear cannot form aud mature, Is practi
cally worthless as fodder. Farmers may learn
from these facts that corn designed to be cut fo
fodder should be planted at two or three period.

somewhat later and still Others as late us is safe
In this way when the hot, dry months OF Jul,

For the delaware Replb Ii,

Mr.. EDiToR A few days ago, as sat at tie
parlor window, young man W as passing by,
apparently about twenty one or two years Of
age; lie was Of manly form, well dressed and
very gentecl in his appearance; but 81 much iu-
toxicated that he could scarcely keep his feet,
and as looked upon him, thought, that there
goes one, that perhaps un-er other circun-
stances, might be an Alfred Goodman, or u
Daniel Webster. How long the young man
had been INDUCING in this ruinous habit, and
what was his early training,I do not know. But
this | do know from close observation, for
maly years, that the chances foi young nan
to reform, who has thus appeared, few times
| upon our most public Streets staggering drunk
Is only about one to twenty five. In the days
| OF the Washingtonians, and tor a few years sub
| sequent, when the efforts made to reclaim the
| inebriste were perhaps greater than were ever
made on earth before, or will be soon again,
| they only claimed to have been the means Of
reforming one in five, but of the class Of which
| / am now speaking, their best figures would on
ly show one in fifteen. But under the present
circumstances, when the efforts ale few,
when there is not a minister OF a Gospel in Our
city Gas far Us | know who dare speak out
boldly from his pulpit or elsewhere, in denun-
citation Of the great evil Of the sale aud use Of
intoxicating drinks, the chances for reform fol
The above class, is as stated before, only one il
twenty-five.
The principle upon which this assert ion i,
made, Is this, that wien a young man has fall
en- 80 low as To appear several times upon til,
most public thor1ughfares. in staggering drunk
cnness, he has To very great extent lost biz
self respect, the only chain that holds him wtl
} IN the bounds OF respectabiiiiy When that is al
gone he feels himself no longera man, and ba
no desire To reform, even ii lie had the ability
