In small town on the Schuylkill river there
is a church in which the singing had run down.
1t had been led by one Of the deacons, whose
voice and musical POWERS had been gradually
failing. One evening the clergyman gave ont
the hymn, which in an odd measure, and
rather harder than usual, and the deacon led off
IJpou its conclusion the minister and said:
"Brother B. will please repeat the hymn,
NJ cannot pray after such singing"
The deacon very cOmpOsedly pitched into
another tune, and the clergyman proceeded with
his prayer. Having finished, he took mp the
book to give ont the second hymn, when he was
interrupted by the deacon gravely getting up
and saying, in voice audible to the whole con-
gregation:
"Will Mr. make another prayer! 1t would
be impossible for me to sing after such prayer

GRATING WAx.-Every farmer, IS well as
gardener, should keep supply Of grsfting-w wax
on hand, ready for use whenever required. II is
. valuable article for many other purposes besides
that Of graffing Wounds made in pruning large
trees, or by the accidental stripping off Of piece
of bark, if coated with wax, will heal over much
sooner than if exposed to the air; besides. the
wood underneath will remain sound and healthy.
There are many different compounds used for
this purpose, but We like the following better
than any other: Four pounds of rosin, two
pounds Of heeswax, one pound of tallow, melted
together. II to be used in cool weather, add
half pound mere of the tallow. If the cost Of
the becswax is an objectionable item, the quanti
ty may be reduced one-half or more.
GRAPE PRUNING.-This should now he attend
ed to. Many persons seriously injure their vines
by injudicions pruning. WAen the business is
not understood, it is always better to employ an
experienced person to attend to it during one
season, from whom the method can be easily
learned. 1t is better that the very robust varie-
ties, like the Concord, Diana, etc., should not be
closely prunesl: while the slower growers, like
the Delaware, Rebecea, etc, should he cut into
much more severely, as they bear the bulk of
their fruit near the ground.

TROUBLE WITH THE HENs.-This is
the season when every owner of hens is
engaged in endeavoring to suppress the
maternal instincts in one or more of
them. The man comes home to supper,
and the wife observes: "That yaIler pull
let is on the nest again" Then the man
goes out to the coop, and says: "What
In thunder Is the matter with the beast,
anyway 2" and erawls in under the
roost to the nest and reaches in and
brings out handful of feathers. Then
the hen screams and starts for the door,
and the other hens set up a howl, and
likewise depart for that aperture, aud
the man-nearly choked by feathers and
blinded by dust-falls over the water
trough and skins his ankles on the
boxes, and finally bursts out into the
yard, with a piece of brick in each hand,
and goes after that yellow pullet, with
his face as red as lobster and his back
curiously wrought with mosaics from
the floor of that coop. When he catches
the hen he cuffs it over the head few
times to show 1t how he feels, then he
jams it under barrel, and pours pail
Of water through the cracks, and leaves
it there till morning, when II Is released
and the same operations gone over again
in the evening.-FfgGTo-

We shall be told, Of course, that it will
ipjure the city to lessen the expenditures
for police and street purposes and the like.
But we can afford to dispense with parks
and promenades The streets show very
little sign of improvement, and even upon
important thoroughfares the city officials
refuse to bear one-half OF the cost OF re-
paving. About the police, the less said the
better il will be for the Council. The citi-
zens can protect themselves more cheaply
and effectively than they are protected by
the city police. =.
The conclusions at which we arrive are
these: The people will not pay any tax
which they have reasonable hope OF es-
Gaping from; the license law is OF so doubt
full u validity that the people may properly
refuse to pay it; the real and personal prop
erty cannot, without severe hurt, stand any
material additional tax; the Council, there
fore. must meet the loss OF revenue caused
by the collapse OF the license law by reduc-
ing the cost of running, or walking, the mu-
picipal government. These are the opinions
of TIE NEWS. They who desire to controvert
them may do so if they can. They snail
have fair field, and no favor.
