The National Publishing Co, of
Philadelphia, have laid before Ms,
for review, this very remarkable
work Of $50 octave pages. As its
title indicates it treats of matters
which are generally excluded from
books, and Of which the large pro
portion OF mankind know but little.
The reader who knows but little of
the Science Of Life" will find in it
information both rare and valuable.
The impression first made upon the
mind will be that if its circulation
can nc limited TO a prudent few, it
will be Of incalculable value. Yet
we are far from being sure that it
had not best fall into the hands of
every adult. The author treats
very boldly of those topics which
arc most generally regarded rs IN
1..cd for public investigation and
certainly 10 one contemplating
marriage. or who may already
nave assumed the matrimonial re-
lation, can fail Of being benefited
by its careful perusal, for the same
knowledge which it lmparts, will in
some distorted and dangerous form
be by him CLEANED among the dan
gerous breakers of experience.
The book will he eagerly purchased
and read with avidity, and as it is
sold only by subscription the agent
will find ii fruitful of profit. 1t is
very handsomely bound and is il
lustrated. 1t will justly take rank
among those works which are
stamped in the mould of genuine
Science, but it should be kept un
der lock and key.

The Best of All.

1t is stated authoritatively, that there
are now in the Patent Office at Washing
ton, nearly one thousand patents for as
many different Sewing Machines. This
fact appears incredible, but the assertion
cannot be successfully controverted. -
When it is recollected, however, that where
there are so many competitors, the new, or
Victor Sewing Machine, has been pro-
nounced the best, surely the inventors of
the Victor have cause for rejoicing. At
the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition in
October, 1870 and at the Kansas City In
dustrial Exposition held October, 1871,
First Premiums were awarded the Victor
after spirited contest between all the first
class machines of the country. Examin-
ing Committee devoted an entire day and
evening to the work, thus showing their
reward was based upon merit solely. The
points involved in this decision, as report
ed by the Committee, were Simplicity,
Ease of Management, Self-Setting Needle,
an extraordinarily Fine Shuttle, with per
feet under tension, together with remarka-
BILE wide range of work done in their pres
ence. In Baltimore hundreds of the Vic
tor have been disposed of, and the first com
plant has yet to be heard. Mr. c. H. Rains,
the accommodating agent, will exhibit lie
machines and impart any desired informa-
ton, at the salesroom of the Company, No.
AZ North Charles street, under Masonic
Temple. Mr.. G. j. Parker, Churchville,
will also show the Victor to the people OF
Harfsrd and take their orders.-B altino,.-

Fact is Stranger than Fiction.

While Hood was composing the "soDg
of the Shirt" and painting with the tints
of despair the poor seamstress shaving in
her garnet, mechanic almost equally pov-
erty-stricken was working out in an Amer
lean garnet the means of her emancipation.
"In poverty, hunger and dirt" Elias Howe,
a native of Massachusetts, surrounded by a
young family, for whom he was obliged to
labor during the day, devoted his after.
hours to the construction of Sewing Ma
chine. This was about the year 1871, and
his career since that period up to the pres
ent time affords an episode in the annals
of intelligent labor pregnant with Incl
dents, and checkered with the lights and
shades, which afford another illustration
of the old saying that "fact is stranger thar
fiction" Judicial Investigations have de.
monstrated, in the clearest manner, that tc
Howe, and to him alone belonged the cred
it of inventing the first Sewing Machine

Vegetable Garden-Work for June.

The hoe and the rake must be kept moro
active than ever in the contest with the
weeds. A sharp steel toothed rake applied
curly is one of the best instruments for their
destruction. BY stirring among the grow
ing crops with it, the young weeds are
turned up to the heat of the sun as soon as
they terminate, and are at once withered
and destroyed. The prong hoe is another
effective tool, not enough used in gardens.
Work with it is easier, better and quicker
done than with the old kind.
Do not cut your asparagus too late, as
the crop of next season will suffer for it,.
A dressing will be of use now of some So
luble manure, if well worked in. Beans
may still be planted, and those already in
must be kept clean. Keep Bets thinned
out. The trimmings make good spinach.
Plant second crop of Ca56ageS and Cauli
foDers and sow late sorts. Plant Corn
every ten days for succession. Cucum-
bers, Canta1eupes, Melons and Squash should
be thinned out, the hills kept clear of grass
and weeds, and the earth drawn up around
the stems. Seeds of varieties intended for
pickles may be planted toward the end of
the month. Egg Plants require frequent
hoeing and plenty of liquid manure. Let
tuce may be sown in cool and moist place
if attainable. Do not SOW much at time
as it soon runs to seed. Onions require
frequent working and wedding. Salt and
ashes are good top dressings for this crop.
Peas may be planted still, but the yield
will not be large. Radishes may be sown.
Rhubarb should not be allowed to mature
its flower stalks. Ruta Bagas may be sown
at the end of the month. A good dressing
of bone dust or superphosphate will give
the crop push and keep it beyond the
reach of the fly. Street Potatoes need some
attention, so thatthe vines do not root and
thus diminish size and Product of mai
roots. Tomatoes need tieing up to som,
kind Of a trellis or other support. We
have found single stake the simplest, least
troublesome and equally effective as any.

The Danbury Man Not Happy!

1t is said there is boy in Concord New
Hampshire, who can repeat the multiplied
ton table backwards, and he is only nine
years old.
We know that boy. We were never is
next door to him when we were u boy, and
it is not so long ago but that we remember
him distinctly. He always went to bed at
eight o'clock, and had slight cough. lie
brushed his hair back of his ears, and car
ried store handkerchief, and when he
played marbles it was to win. He always
got home from school before we did, and
employed the interval in detailing to his
mother the " betting" the boy next door
was getting. And indeed we were getting
it, but there was no special interest in it
for other folks. He was the model boy,
our parents used to point to, and speak of,
in tones of mingled admiration and regret,
while uniting us for sitting on anything
harder than poultice. He never ran away
from school, nor stole money, but he used
to throw mud on old people, when they
wern't looking, and unselfshly throw the
credit on us. And then to see the boy
come around into our yard with jam on his
bread. That was the last teather-that
was the climax ofall the SORROWS our young
heart knew. We could have willingly for
given everything else, but that jam upset
US. 1t went right down into our hearts,
and it raukles there yet 1t sent us into
the house bawling for jam, and getting it,
but not on our bread. We remember that
with CHASTITY distinctness. -Ddnbury Nens.
