CIVILITY.

A courteous man often succeeds in
life. and that even when persons of abil.
iiy fail. The experience of every NAL
furnishes frequent instances where con
ciliatory have made the fort
unes of physicians, lawyers, divines,
politicians, merchants, and, indeed, in
dividuals of all pursuits. In being in
troduced to a stranger, his affability, or
the reverse, creates instantaneously a
prepossession in his favor or awakens
unconsciously a prejudice against linn.
To men, civility is, in fact, wiata pleas
ing appearance is to women it is a gen.
eral passport to favor !; a letter of rec
ommendation written in a language that
every person understands. The best of
men have often injured themselves by
irritability and consequent rudeness,
whereas men Of inferior abilities have
frequently succeeded, by their agreea-
bic and pleasing OF two men,
equal in all other respects, the courte-
Gus one has twice the advantages, and
by far the better chance of making his
way in the world.

4 CHOICE.


81 wish l knew what to dol"
Kate Warheld, sitting on a knoll il
the eooi, shadowy orchard, on a warm
and pleasant summer afternoon, gave
utterance 20 the wish.
She was IL a quandary. She had two
lovers, and she wondered which it was
best to choose.
John Rainsford was young, and had a
life full OF promise, and great POSSIBLE
titles before him. But he was poor.
Kate Wartield knew that he loved her
as a strong man can love, but could she,
used to the Injuries Of life, give up
that which seemed necessary to her
comfort, and marry a poor man?
Philip Leith was old, and rich. And
he, in this letter which she had Just
been reading, made her an offer of his
heart-supposing such an organ to be
in existence-and hand. He could give
her the things she longed for, the glitter
ana snow she coveted.
She heard some one wListling down
the road, and looking down that way
saw John coming. Something seemed
TO tell her that she must decide between
her lovers now, and in a swift way she
looked the matter over. On one side
wealth and fashion, and ali that heart
could wish for i'll the qualification of
Its selfish, worldly enjoyments. On the
other hand, an humble life, and strug-
giles to climb to that position where
wealth could place her at once
But then? Did she-c0uld she love
Philip Leith, a man old enough to be
her father? Would his wealth make up
for what her life would have if love was
il it? As she asked herself that oues-
ton she feit a twinge which told her
that, after all, she cared for John Rains
ford as she had never cared for any
other man, and for a moment she Won
dered If life with him would not be pref
cradle to life with Philip Leith and all
his wealth.
But the glitter of gold blinded her,
and she shut her eyes to the purer
vision which passed before them for a
moment, and IN that resoIute crushing
down OF the better impulses of her
nature, John Rainsford's answer to his
wooiug was made, before lie asked for it.
He came up the orchard path, and
sat down upon theknoll beside her. He
had learned, IL the summer gone by, to
love this womb r. he thought he could
never love another one. She was all
that was pure and true and womanly in
Uma TO him.
"Ihave had a letter from the city,"
she said. 81 am going back next
week"
$50 soon?" he said, slowly, and look
ing thoughtfully off to the blue hills.
She knew well enough what he was
linking about.
"les; l have fingered here too long
already. This summer has been a very
pleasant one to me. One of the pleas

"Can you guess what it has been to

His earnest eyes were on her face.
His words were full of passionate
strength and tenderness. Beneath his
gaze, she felt how unworthy. she was
of such a love as he gave her.

The GREAT MEDICAL REFORMATION
The Satanic Theory that preparations
which infama the brain are, in any
sense of the word, remedies, has been
O~rCrthrOWn, and can neUcr be re-cstOb-
Hshcd. The wonderful effects which
have attended the use of Dr.. WALKERS
VINEGAR BITTERs as an antidote TO the
causes of disease and a cure for every
controllable ailment, have demonstrated
the utter fa!lacy of the doctrine that
alcohol is a tonic rs well as g stimuIqnt.
The New and incompatible Vegetable
Remedy which has superseded the
death-draught Of ram bitters, is as free
from every intoxicating element AS the
dew of Heaven, yet see how 1t is invig-
Grating the nervous, relieving the bill
ious, curing the dyspeptic, purifying
the blood OF the scro!ulous, strengthen
ing the debilitated, arresting premature
decay, and replacing despondenty and

EFFECT OF FOOD ON MILK.

Various long and carefully conducted cx.
periments have been made 10 the German
agricultural schools to ascertain the effect OF
different kinds Of food upon the quality OF
milk produced
1t is not necessary, 10 this place, 10 give
the results to these experiments in detail ;
it will suffice to say that DR.. Kuhn has
carried out number Of investigations aud
several other we'll known Investigators have
been for some time past at work upon the
same subject. OF these latter Prof. Wolff
Director OF the Experimental Station at Ho.
henheim, in Wurtembcrg, gives tho result OF
long series Of investigations in the following
language:
"Ono interesting result of these expert
ments is, that the quality Of the milk-thc
amount of butter it contains-leaving the
taste out Of account has always remained
The same, in spite of manifold and important
changes in the fodder. In TACT, the changes
in the amount Of butter in the milk, as dc.
termincd by chemical analysis, are so unim-
portant as to be entirely unworthy Of con.
sideration.
As the practical result Of this we are left
to infer that the quality Of food exercises no
influence upon the quality-the amount Of
butter in the milk-whilc on the other hand
the effect Of fodder becomes readily and dis
tinctly manifest in the quantity Of the milk
yielded and in the increase or decrease oI
the live weight Of the animals. The quality
Of the milk seems, therefore, to be determin-
ed by the peculiarties of the breed or the
individual animal, at least, as long as the
fodder is healthy, palatabc aud sufficient in
quantity"
DR.. Kuhn gives the result of his own ex.
periments in so far as they arc directly ap.
plicable to practice in similar language.
lie says:
The influence Of variations in the fodder
in these experiments was manifested in the
amount of milk yielded alone and not in the
quality. The influence upon the quantity
is, however, quite apparent. As regards
the desire Of the farmer to increase the pro.
duction Of certain element Of the milk-as
butter, for instance-by a change in the
quality of the fodder, the above law is fully
valid. The farmer must, on the other hand,
look to the peculiarties of different breeds
OF cattle for that quality of milk which is
best adapted to his own special purpose"

LOST NATION WHEAT.

From all parts of New England our at
tention has been called to the encouraging
reports Of wheat raising, giving promise of
growing importance. Last year gave somo
account Of the enterprise here in Maine, and
also Of the new variety, the "lost Nation
Wheat" Somehow from the encouragements
Of last year the crop sown this year was
larger than ever before since the settlement
Of the country, and quite largely with the
new variety. As the thrashing has not been
done | cannot give the exact figures, but
can only say that none of US ever saw such
crops before. From careful estimates from
appearances Of the bulk aud weight Of straw
and heads we feel safe in expecting yield
Of from 40 to 30 bushels per acre on the
most favored fields.
The proclVities of this variety are rather
marked. We have scarcely yet known it to
rust. 1t has coarse, sti fl stalk, and is not
inclined to lodge down on rich land. 1t
bears a high cultivation of land, is week
or ten days later in riPening than some 9TH
er varieties, and needs very heavy seeding
two bushels or more to the acre). As to
its quality for -four, some object to calling
it first quality.
From general reports am inclined to
think larger percentage than in some 9TH
or sorts goes to bran and middlngs, aud yet
by universal admission it is our surest crop
for bread, and a quality of bread that We
can we'll afford to be satisfied with
And then again for feeding it is more
sure and moro productive than oats as long
as it does what it has DONE The only need
of raising oats or barley is the chance to
SOW later than will answer for this kind OF
wheat. Forty bushels of wheat is certainly
as good as l20 bushels OF oats, and the
chances OF failure with wheat are less than
with oats.

BEES AND BEE KEEPING.

These who love the busy bee should visit
his hive often and guard it from his enemies.
When bees become accustomed to our visits
they are never inclined to use their stings
they recognize old acquaintance and are
not uneasy on account OF our appearance,
unless we tarry too long. They will not be
offended it we cant up the hive and brush
out the filth that accumulates under the
comb. Worms that produce the bee moth
may frequently be found on the platform,
seeking an oriicc and portion of the spois.
These worms must be destroyed, aud to de.
ter others from making an entrance, u little
fine salt sprinkled on tho bottom is found a
good preventive. Bees are fond of salt,
which is death to worms.
With very little trouble hives may be
weighed daily, to ascertain their increase in
honey aud wax. A pretty good swarm will
make three pounds per day, by the week to-
gethcr in the month of June, in a good sea-
sou ; but in this part Of New Hampshire it
has been poor season, the white clover was
mostly winter killed, aud the farmers now
SOW but little buckwheat, and they must get
the most of their feed from the wild flowers,
and from them they can lay up little for a
winter store. l, for one, do not like the
taste Of honey from buckwheat, aud am of
the opinion that the bees, if fed entirely on
this would die oft.
We observe that the bumblebee has done
nothing this season, and by them We can tell
pretty accurately about the honey bees. 1t
seems strange that farmers who keep bees
take so little interest in them, Year after
year they keep about the same nulnber OF
hives through the winter, aud let them
swarm or lie idle, punched out on the hive
all the best Of the season. Now it SEEMS as
though there might be way to make
swarm of bees work all the season, and way
so that We would not be obliged to kill them
when We wanted a supply Of honey. l have
watched the movements of bees closely for
the last twenty years, and am Of tbs opinion
that much that has been written about them
is all nonsense; but it aids individuals in
the sale Of their hives and books that they
publish. Now any ingenious farmer who
keeps bees, can make his own hives and
make them with boxes and keep his bees at
work, just as well as to pay five dollars for
one, and not infringe on the patent Of any
man. How many dollars the farmers lose
yearly by not keeping their bees at work,
and destroying the swarns in the fall. These
old ideas of our fathers must be given up, or
in particular, as they will all die otf-Tuf.

A SONG FOR THE HARVEST.

Come, list to a song for the harvest;
Thanksgiving and honor and praise
For all that the bountiful 6iyer
Hath given TO gladden. our days.
For the grain and the corn In their plenty.
For the grapes that were gathered with song,
For tho pumpkins so brave with their yellow,
They had hyed upon sunbeans so long.
For cranberrles down in tho meadow,
And the buckwheat that ilamed on the hill,
Aud blueborres tempting the children
To wander and pick them ut will.
For the peaches that blush through their pallor,
Or glow like pretty quadroon,
As they dream Of tho sun in the morning,
Or welcome his kisses at noon.
For the swost-smelling hay and the clover,
That sweeten the breath OF the kInei
And tho apples that fingered, as dreading
Tho air and the light to resign
And not from the fruit harvest only
We offer our thanks and our praise
Not less have the leaves and the blossoms
Made brighter and better the days.
Tho leaves that delight with their greSnness,
That soften tho heat with their shade,
And rustic so crisply in autumn,
To startlo tho lover and maid.
For the blossoms that whiten In May-timo
The ground as with snow, as they fall,
For the fowerets that whisper their meanings
In cottage and hovsl and hall.
Aye thanks for the harvest Of beauty
For that which the land cannot hold
The harvest oyes only can gather
Which only our hearts can enfOld
Wo have reaped 1t on mountain and mooTland
We have CLEANED It from meadow aud leai
We have gnrnered 1t in from the cloudland
We have bound II In shcayes from tho sea.
