,SNOhINI COENTRIES.

As one travels in the wine districts of
France on frosty nights, he is half suf-
focated by the dense smoke which fills
the air and overhangs the whole coun-
try. Upon inquiry he finds that this
smoke arises from casks of tar, and that
it is designed to protect the vineyards
from frost by creation of artificial
clouds. 1t is said that the same expert
ment has been tried in Maryland for the
protection of fruit trees, with consider
able success. 1t seems pity to resort
to processes for fruit protection which
destroy the beauty of the landscape, de-
file the air, and add to the gloom of life.
Any one who has been in great manu-
featuring districts will recall the thick
and smoky atmosphere with n shudder,
and what shall we do when not only
large towns but vineyards and gardens
are also overhung with leaden pail ?
But if there is profit in smoke, it will
certainly be made, and the old adage
about :. all ending in smoke" will lose a
part of it's force.

FEcUNDITY OF FISHES 1T is said that
probably about 60, 600, 900 or 10000, 900
Goldfish are taken from the sea annually
around the shores of Newfoundland
But even that quantity seems small
when we consider that the cod yields
something like 100000 eggs each sea-
son, and that even S,O0O,O0 have been
found in the roe of single cod Other
fish, though not equaling the cod, are
also wonderfully productive. A herring
six or seven ounces in weight is pro-
vided with about 10000 ova. After
period of twenty years, they would yield
fish bulk equal to the globe on which
we live. The cod far surpasses the her
ring in fecundity. Were it not that vast
making all reasonable allowances for
the destruction of eggs and of the
young, it has been calculated that In
three years a single pair of herrings
would produce 154 100000. Butfen
said that if pair of herrings were left
to breed and multiply undisturbed for a
numbers of the eggs are destroyed, fish
would so multiply as to fill the waters
completely. american.

EVERY man has . right to interpret
his own name, and to say how it ought
to be pronounced. Many persons have
been in quandary in regard to how the
name of the English statesman Disraeli
should be spoken. Some pronounce it
Disraeei, others Disrahli, other Dizrel'
ly (the accent on the first syllable),
others pronounce it Disrayli (the ac-
cent on the second syllable). In the
course of recent speech the owner of
the name had to repeat it, when quoting
the letter which he wrote to the Queen,
he pronounced it Disray-li, the accent
being on the second syllable.

"IF 1T RAINS, LET 1T RAIN

"IF 1T RAINS, LET 1T RAIN
What's the Use of 80 much fretting
Over what we can't restrain?
1t might save us much regretting,
If it rains, to let it rain!
Say not the world is such letter.
And spend your hours in needless pain;
But lend hand to make it better;
Then if it rains, why, let it rain
There's scarceIy one below the sun
That has not writhed in pain;
Press forward, then, till dutyIs done,
Aud if it rains, just let it rain
Perform your part, and do it we'll,
Move up the HILL and don't complain
If fortune frowns, do not rebel,
But if it rains, just let it rain i!
Sometimes it may strain every nerve,
single honest point to gain;
What though it then be lost, don't swerve,
But if it rains, still let it rain!
The raiys are poured upon the mountains,
(rhere's no. drop that falls in Vain,
And help to fill the flowing fountains,
Then if it rains, just let it rain
Each herb and tree, the plants and flowers,
The blooming dell and grassy plain,
Come forth to gild earth's joyous bowers,
So if it rains, just let it rain !!
Then what's the use of all this fretting,
Over what we can't restrain;
II might save us much regretting,
If it raina, to let it rain!

is the friend of virtue, and Incidence
the handmade of vice. The active are
seldom criminal but the most of those
who yield to guilty encroachments might
trace their lapse from rectitude to habits
of idleness, which, leaving the heart
vacant, gave full opportunity for the
evil passions and desires of our nature
to exert their power A state of ease is
at best but neutral state of being, alike
distant from positive happiness and posi-
tive misery. But it is the source of
misery. and, as such, is Stunned by
the philosophy of living pleasantly.

A PROMISING BoY.-A boy of tender
years and heart has drowned seventeen
kittens, tied tin pans to the tails of all
the neighbors' dogs, ornamented his
chamber by pinning flies to the wall, cut
brick-bats with his uncle's razor, blown
up a pet canary with fire-cracker,
pulled the tail feathers out of two
roosters, been thrown into the top of an
apple tree by COW that he was teasing,
brushed his fathers hat against the
grain, told his sisters lover about her
false teeth, and still his fond mother
intends him for the pulpit. -Danbury

HA Nd WRITING.

Was Chesterfield correct when he said
that "every man who has the use of
his eyes and his right hand can write
whatever hand he pleases ?" If so,
would Byron have put his burning verse
into such miserable schoolboy scrawl,
Emerson write so sprawling a hand, or
Napoleon 1. have written the worst hand
on record-so bad that his letters to
Josephine from Germany We're some
times mistaken for maps of the seat of
war? No doubt the vileness of his pot
hooks was aggravated by the speed with
which he wrote. Jacob Bryant said Of
Archdeacon Coxe's hieroglyphics, that
they could be called neither hand nor
fist, but a foot, and that club one.
Sydney Smiths hand, with the exception
of Jeffrey's, was the worst that Con-
stables printers had to puzzle out for
the Edinburgh Rcricw. He himself
compared it to the hieroglyphics of a
swarm of ants escaping from an ink

without wiping their legs. When his
wife inclosed to him an illegible passage
from one of his letters from London,
containing direction about the manage
ment of his farm, and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION, he simply returned it with the
remark that he must decline ever read
ing his own handwriting "A hours after
he had written it,
Rufus Choate's handwriting could not
be deciphered without the help of pair
of compasses and quadrant. The best
specimens look like the hieroglyphics on
Chinese tea-chest. Having been in
vited on n certain occasion to address a
public meeting in New Hampshire, he
replied by letter; but the committee,
after puzzling for hours over the scrawl,
despaired of deciphericg it, and were
obliged to send n special messenger to
learn his answer.
