Both Congress from 50 900 to s. 900. and

takes in public matters. In 1866, a con-
gresham in this State, in his speech ac-

refer to the increase then made, and in n
half jocose, half impertinent manner. eN-

Pile ND the Manure.

Many farmers save, pile and rot
their manure, so as to use it for a
top-dressing for wheat in the fall.
Such farmers have doubtless piled
up their manure as soon as the stock
was taken from the yards. But many
others who are not accustomed to
this practice, have their manure still
scattered over their yards, just as it
has accumulated through winter and
spring. These farmers may yet
gain largely by piling their barn
yard manure; and l would suggest
that this manure be we'll piled and
rotted, and used just before sowing
to top-dress the land for winter
grain. Manure applied this way will
give the young plants an early and
vigorous start, and give them bet
ter growth and root, so they will
stand a better chance to live
through an unfavorable winter and
spring; and to yield a satisfactory
crop at harvest. This top-dressing
will also be of considerable benefit
TO the new seeding in the spring,
which is generally sown on winter
grain, and give q much better crop of
clover or grass. Where a good
meadow is desired, it will be of spec
ial benefit to the coming crops Of
hay. IF winter grain is not grown,
or the manure is not needed on the
land sown, the manure may be spread
on clover or grass land, in the fall,
that is to be plowed up the next
spring for corn. Manure used in this
way often pays better than when ap-
piled in any other way. l have for
some years been in the opinion that
barnyard manure, as made in most
grain sections, where there is more
or less straw and other coarse litter
mixed with the dung, pays much the
best when piled, roLted and applied
to winter grain or grass in the fall.
Where there is not much straw or
other litter with the manure, and no
good absorbents are at hand to mix
with it to make a compost, probably
the sooner the manure can be used,
the better.
In piling manure, care should be
taken to locate the piles in the yards

Sealing the Vow.

A correspondent of the New York
Commercial AdUerttSer, writing from
the Round Lake camp meeting, tells
the following story: "Many people
sleep in the same tent here, being
separated by partitions. As young
Methodist fellows are thrown with
pretty young ladies a good deal, it
is not against them that they some
time fall in love.
Last night, they say, they saw this
happen. A young Methodist fellow
from Ballston had become quite in
terested in a pretty daughter of a
religious farmer. Last night, while
dozen cold-hearted fellows were
trying to sleep, they were continu-
ally disturbed by the lovers spoony
talk which they distinctly heard
through the cotton cloth partition.
They heard him say in a low,
sweet, Clarendon voice, "Now, Caro-
line, dear, do let me seal the VOW
dop
"No, James, I cannot. What
would mydather and mother sayY"
replied sweet girlish voice.
"But, Caroline, you have prom
ised to be mine-now let us seal the
vow-let us, do let us-Won't you?
Do kiss mel"
"No, James, l cannot, o, / can
not"
In a moment the tent partition
parted, and a big whiskered broth
er, who wanted to sleep, shouted
"For Gods sake, Carrie, let Jim seal
that vow. He'll keep us awake all
night if you don't"
The VOW was sealed.
When l told a young lady, who
is here from Congress Hall, about
this sealing joke, she said that
"James reminded her of some of the
Congress Hall fellows-only they
always wanted to seal things before
there was anything to SEAL" She
said Browns boys down in New
York, got engaged to young ladies
just to seal the VOW, and, after they
had sealed it all winter, they went
off and got up fresh VOW with a
fresh young lady.
told her that such bad young
men ought not to be countenanced
-"that every young lady should
set her face against them"
"Alas~ she replied, 81 have set
my face against them too much
already. They will never re
form till we take our faces away
from them altogether"

How Grain Ships Pay.


The Senate Transportation Commit
tee has been travelling along the
lakes and the st. Lawrence picking
up information concerning the ca
pacities and needs of the great water
route. At Buffalo they had a meet
ing with the Board of Trade, at
which Mr.. Hazard made some re-
marks for the benefit Of the Commit
tee. He said among other things
that there were vessels now on the
lakes capable of carrying 10000
bushels of grain. Ten years ago
the average capacity Of grain schOon-
ers was from 10000 to $4,000 bush
els. The rates from Chicago to Buff
falo by lake are now fifteen cents a
busheI for wheat and corn. This
would give one of the largest lake
vessels $10,500 as the earnings Of q
single trip. At six cents a bushel
the ship would earn $4,000 per trip
which Mr.. Hazard says, is a good
paying business. The ship owner
therefore pockets nine cents a bush,
el, or $1,000 on each cargo above
what he could well afford to do the
work for, simply because the amount
of grain to be carried is immense
and rates are high. 1t would look,
therefore, as though all the greedi-
ness had not been monopolized by
the railroads. Let US consider the
case of this big four-masted vessel
capable of carrying 10000 bushels Of
grain little further. 1t costs when
new, let us say, $4,000. It earns
$I0,500 per trip, and it makes two
trips per month-$21, 900 every four
weeks. There are six months Of
navigation, during which its earn
ings are $4,000. DeductiDg hire
for its seamen and other expenses,
and there is left over 100000 as
the net earnings of a S75, 900 ship in
a single season. OF course lake men
do not always get fifteen cents per
bushel the entile season through.
but for two seasons past freight has
been plenty and rates high. It is in
evidence that the grain ships make
far higher propOrtiOnate profits than
the railroads, and yet who ever
hears any odium or charge of mo-
nopoly attached to the lake men?

How she Takeg the Train.


She comes comes down to the
train in an express wagon, three
hours before the time. She insists
on sitting on her trunk. Out on the
platform, to keep Il from being sto-
len. She picks up her retieule, fan,
parasol, lunch basket, small pot with
a house plant in it, shawl, paper, bag
of candy, boquet, (she never travels
without one, small tumbler, and an
extra vail, and chases hysterically af-
ter every switch engine that goes by,
under the impression that it is her
train. Her voice trembles as she pre-
sents herself at the counter of Oh
mer's restaurant, and tries to buy
ticket, and she knocks with the han
die other parasol at the door of the
old disused tool house, in the vain
hope that the baggage man will come
out and check her trunk. She asks
every body in the depot and on the
platform when her train will start,
and where it will stand, and looking
at the big clock asks: @What
time is itnow?" She sees with ter
rOr the baggage-man shy her trunk
into a car, with "bad or shops" chalk
ed on the outside, which she has long
ago determined, to be the baggage
car, the only safe one in sight Al
though she is the first as she is the
last to get her ticket, and once on
the cars, she sits to the end of her
journey in an agony OfapprehensiOn
that she has got on the wrong train,
and will be landed at a strange sta
tion, put in a close carriage drugged
and murdered, and to the very last
male passenger that walks down the
aisle, she stands up and presents her
ticket, which she invariably carries
in her hand. She finally recognizes
her waiting friends on the platform,
leaves the car.in a burst of gratitude
and the train is ten miles away before
she remembers that her reticule, fan,
lunch basket, verbena, shawl, candy,
tumbler, vail and boquet, are on the
car seat, where she left them, or il

The Three Friends.

Trust no friend before thou hast
tried him, for they abound more at
the festal board than at the prison
door.
A certain man had three friends;
two of them he loved warmly; the
other he regarded with indifference,
though that one was the truest of his
well-wishers. The man was sum
mOned before a tribunal, and though
innocent, his accusers were bitter
against him.
"Who among you" said he, "will
go with me and bear witness for NE?
For my accusers are bitter against
me, and the judge is displeased."
The first of his friends at once eX-
cused himself from accompanying
him, on the plea Of other business.
The second followed him to the door
of the tribunal; there he turned back
and went his way, through fear OF
the offended judge. The third, on
whom he relied the least, spoke for
him, and bore witness to his limo
cence, so that the judge dismissed
and rewarded him.
Man has three friends in this
world; how do they demean them
selves toward him in the hour of
death, when God calls him to judg-
ment? His best beloved friend, gold,
is the first to leave him, and accom-
panies him not. His friends, kins
men, accompany him to the portal
of the grave and then turn back to
their own houses. The third, whom
he is most neglectful of, is his good
works. They alone go with him tc
the Judges throne; they stand be
fore him and obtain mercy and grace
