THE GOLD MARKET.

The gold market was dull although prices during
the day and week were well sustained. The belief
is expressed by not few observers or events that
the drain upon the Bank OF Notwithstanding

week will compel an advance in the bank rate and

A Worcester boy was engaged in noe
turnal cherry stealing short time ago,
and was observed by the owner of the
fruit, who, unnoticed by the young rob-
Der, placed q large stuffed dog at the foot
of the tree and retired to watch the re-
suit of the strategy. The boy descend
ing observed the dog, and then the fun
commenced; he whistled, .coaxed, threat
ened unavailingly. the animal never mov-
ing and finally the youth accepting the
inevitable, settled down to passing the
night in the tree. After some hours had
passed wearily enough to the lad, morn
ing dawned, and the proprietor of the
tree coming from the house, asked him
how he came to be in the tree, to which
the boy answered that he took to it to
save himself from the dog, who had
chased him quite distance. 1t ism t
healthy for smaller boy to say stuffed
dog to that youth now.

BABY TYRGNTs.-Here is picture true
to life, from the Oneida CTrcuiar When
will mothers learn how to train their
babies?
"a traveller from Oneida has often a
story to tell on his return home On his
last trip there was a handsome, we'll
dressed young woman in the cars who
had in her arms an infant not old
enough to walk, but quite old enough to
be tyrant. The little fellow had the
complete mastery of his mother and ex-
ercised his tyranny continually. He
made her walkathe car with him until
she looked as though she would drop to
the floor with fatigue; but if she stopped
for moment he would scream and
throw himself about until she started on
again. The poor mother looked so pale
and worn that it was pitiful to see her.
She had no idea whatever of controlling
him; she would threaten to punish him
in various ways but she didn't do it,
and the child knew she wouldn't. If our
traveller had felta little bolder, he would
have offered to take the boy and subdue
little of the 'irrepressibleness' which
was making such an abiect slave of his
mother; but he modestly forebore
Oh, that mothers were more sensible!
oh, that they could know now to govern
themselves-and their babies 1t would
be so easy Then it would be so much
better for baby Oh, the misery of igno-

Mr. President when look back over this long PERIOD
crowded with great events, and which has witnessed
the cOnvulson Of the nation, the reorganization and
reconstruction Of political system-when, In my
minds eye, yeople this chamber with those whose
forms have been familiar to me, whose names-nany Of
them historical names-haye been labeled on these
desks and carved the marble that
their dust-I filed with sadness nexpressible, yet
full Of consolation For nusiDg the transtOrv nature OF
all subunary things come TO perceive that their in
stability is not in their but IN the forms which
they assume and in the agencies that operate upon
them and when ! recall those whom / have seen fall
around me, and whom thought necessary success.
almost 70 the preservation Of great principles recall
also those Whom have Seen step into the places
put on the armor which they wore, lift the weapons
which they welded and march on TO the eonsp1ma-
ton OF the work which they inauRuated. And thus
am filed with wonder at the benehcent order
ing OF nature and inspired with loftier faith
Almighty Power, without whose guidance aud direction
all human effort is vain, and blessing the hum
blest instrument which He selects are equal to the
mightest work that He designs.

How're IaESERyEA BOUQUET-Whcny you
receive bouquet, sprinkle 1t lightly with
fresh water; then put it into vessel contain
ing some soapsuds, which nourish the roots
and keep the flowers as good as new. Take
the bouquet out of the suds every morning,
and lay it sideways in fresh water; keep 1t
there a minute or two, then take 1t out and
sprinkle the flowers lightly by the hand with
pure water. Replace the bouquet in the soap
suds and the flowers will bloom as fresh as
when gathered. The soapsuds need to be
changed every third day BY observing these
rules, a bouquet may be kept bright and beau
ger in a very passablc state; but the atten-
ton to the fair but frail creatures, as direct

THE POTATO BUG-At this time this pest
is troubling the people hereabouls worse
than anything else and many questions are
asked as the best way of using paris green
which all are convinced is the best "antidote'
yet discovered. Some mix it with flour and
dredge it on; but most dissolve 1t in water
and put it on with sprinklng pot. The
next question is how much of the drug to use
From those who have used it successfully, we
learn that II or . tablespoonful of the green
to pail of water does the business quickly
aad eficctually. But people must be careful
how they use il for a little of the mixture
will make sad work if it gets on to scratch
or sore on the flesh. With ordinary care
there is no danger; and if you would save
your potatoes use paris green.

The exclusion of damp from brick work
has long been an important problem. One
Of the most effective methods Of accomplish
ing this object is the following: Three quar-
tiers of pound Of notified soap are dissolved
in one gallon Of boiling water, and the hot
solution spread steadily with fiat brush over
the outer surface of the brickwork, care be-
ing taken that it does not lathcr; this is al
lowed to dry for twenty-four hours, when a
solution, formed OF quarter OF pound OF
alum dissolved in two gallons OF water is APP
piled in Il similar manner over the coating OF
soap. The soap and alum form an insolublc
varnish, which the rain Is unable to penetrate,
and the cause of dampness is thus said to be
ettectually removed. The operation should
be performed in dry, settled weather, An,
other method is to use eight parts of linseed
oil and one part Of sulphur, heated together
to 27S degrees in an iron vessel Western RI

mer writes: To prepare for Il crop of pota
toes, turn over in July a piece of green
sward, after taking off a crop of hay. Then
apply liberal dressing of barnyard manure
which is worked thoroughly into the soil by
pair of horses and Shares harrow. After
getting it fine, mellow and smooth, SOW to
Hungarian grass, which yields two or more
tons of good fodder per acre. The next
spring, after applying about five cords OF
strong barn.celiar manure made from cattle
which arc literally fed on good hay and grain
the land is again plowed, cross plowcd and
narrowed till it Is in the very best condition
for growing a crop OF potatoes, the old sward

MINED GRAssgs.-At the annual meeting
of the Agricultural association paper was
read upon "Growlng Grass" In the discus
sion that followed 1t was remarked that far
mers should be careful to SOW together only
those grasses which ripen at the same time.
This is mistaken idea. The chief reason
why variety of grasses should be sown is,
that there may be constant succession of
growth. The weakest point of our meadows
IS that the grass rlpens, fades and suspends
growth for the season, leaving a brewn, with
cred or bare surface. If there were a success
sion of consecutively ripening grasses there
would be continued greenness and verdure,
and if the pastures were only not overstocked,
this would be as great an approach rs we can
make with our peculiar climate toward per
manently green meadow or pasture. But if
all grasses ripen at once we may as well CON
tinue to grow one single good grass as several
good and bad ones-Pratrie Farmer.

To KEEP HAMS IN SUMMER.-The German,
town Telegraph says; There are a number OF
modes given to keep hams through the warm
season free from the attacks of insects. Some
bag them and whitewash the bags, which is
troublesome and somewhat expensive; some
cover them with dry wood-ashes and pack
them in barrels some pack them in barrels
and cover thoroughly with pineshavings;
but we think the best plan of all, and certain
ly the least expensive with all who have a
good one--is to keep the hams hung up in
the smokc-house which should be kept per
fectly dark at ALI time. We have eaten hams
so kept two years old, and they were among
the very best we ever tasted. Uniform dark
ness is a complete protection against the at
tack of insects
