the delicate and intricate structure Of the hui
man system nor of Chemistry and the scientif-
&c preparation Of medicines. No patent has
been obtained or asked for upon It. II is not
secret medicine, the chief Ing edtent being
made known in the name chosen to designate
It. But tbs claimed to be a superior Extract,

used in making all other Extracts of Smart

1t is an infrmity of man to cling to
the teachings of a past generation, and
to stubbornly resist the hight Of reform,

the present age, is the impression that
every human biped Of either sex must

A LITTLE MIsHAP IN CHURCH. The fol
lowing is Max Alder's: Last Sunday night,
during the sermon in our church, the gas
suddenly went out, and there was sudden
darkness. The minister requested the con-
gregation to remain perfectly quiet until
the cause of the trouble could be asertained
and other lights produced. Old Mrs.
Smiley, it appears, was sound asleep when
the accident occurred but just after the
minister had finished speaking 10 the con-
eregation she awoke At first she thought
She had become blind, but as she sat by
the window, she Immediately saw the
light in the street, and then she knew the
congregation had gone home, and that
she had accidentally been locked in by the
sexton.
Dreadfully frightened at the loneliness
and horror Of her situation, she picked up a
hymn-book, and dashing it through pane
Of olass in the window, she put her head
out and began to scream for help. Her
shrek impressed passers-by with the idea
that the church was on fire, and in an IN
stant the alarm was given. A moment
later the engines arrived, and just as the
sexton began to light the gas again, one
gang of the firemen began playing through
the broken window on Mrs Smileys new
spring bonnet, while another gang poured
three-inch stream up the middle aisle
with such force as to wash Rev. DE-. Hop,
kins. the minister, out of the pulpit and
down among the high hats which were
floating around by the pew doors. Event
ually the matter was explained, and the
fire department shut off the water and
went home But the deacons want to know
how, if Mr.. Smiley refuses to pay the bill
for repairs to the church, he can ever look
a fellow-worshiper in the face again

In one Of the maps of the lunar surface
recently published, the bottom OF the era
ter in one of the volcanic districts appears
in many instances very deeply depressed
below the general surface OF the moon,
the internal depth being often twice or
three times the external height 1t has
been computed that profound cavities, re
oarded as craters, occupy two-ftths of the
moons surface, One of the most remark
able of these formations is iiity-fve miles
in diameter; and. to give some idea of its
magnitude, the late Prof. Nichol used to
say that could a visitor approach it he
would see rising before him a wall of rock
twelve hundred feet high, and on mount
ing this height would look down on de-
clivity or slope thirteen thousand feet, to
a lodge or terrace, and below this would
see lower deep OF four thousand feet
more-a cavity exceeding, therefore, the
height of Mount Blanc and large enough
to hold that mountain besides Chimborazo
and Teneriffe. Another lunar crater, called
Saussure, is ten thousand feet in depth
These astonishing calculations are found
ed-as is doubtless well understood-on
the observation of the suns light falling
on the edge and Illuminating the side OF
these prodigious depths.

WnlTE AND RED WHEAT 1t is said
mat the hard vheates are. all natives OF
warm climates such as lttly, Sicily and
Barbary The soft wheats are from north
ern climates, such as England, Russia,
Belgium Denmark and Sweden. There
is, however, one exception to this general
rule. A. the celebrated Polish wheat is
hard, and from this reason it has been
contended that It was not a native of Po-
and. but was introduced here from some
inilder climate The English atmosphere
is so humid that it IS impossible to ripen
wheat hard, but in many cases it requires
artificial heat To harden it before it can be
Ground into flour. Different soils and eli
mates materially change the nature and
variety of wheat The difference between
red and white wheat is not in variety but
is owing chiefly to the variety OF soil on
which it is grown. A generous dressing
of wood ashes applied to the growing
wheat in the former part of the growing
season. will exert an excellent influence
in rendering wheat of lighter color than

TO PRESERVE APPLES WHOLE Peel
and core large, firm apples (pippins are
best). Throw them into water as You pare
them. Boil the parings in water for fifteen
minutes, allowing pint to one pound OF
fruit. Then strain, and adding three
quarters Of pound OF sugar to each pint
OF water, as meatured at first, with enough
lemon peel, orange peel OF mace to impart
a pleasant flavor, return to the kettle
When the syrup has been well skinned,
and is clear, pour it boiling hot over the
apples, which must be drained from the
water in which they have hitherto stood
Let them remain in the syrup until both
are perfectly cold. Then covering loosely,
let them simmer over a slow fire until
transparent. When all the minuti;r OF
these directions are attended to, the fruit
will remain unbroken and present Il beau
tiful and inviting appearance.

Editor Massachusetts Ploughman: A
subscriber wishes to know what will cure
diseased plum trees, My experience with
that kind of fruit is not very great, but
enough to know that the disease is in the
sap, and that the various remedies recon-
mended by some horticnlturists, such as
placing salt around the roots and shower
ing the leaves with lime or sulphur, to be
porfect nonsense.
have experimental the last two years
upon a large tree of the Washington yar-
ETY. with almost perfect success, simply by
digging around the tree and applying
about one bushel OF wood ashes each year
The effect is truly wonderful; the black
knots have almost entirely disappeared,
the tree has commenced truiting, and the
last two years has produced some very
fine specimens.
The fact is, cultivation has taken from
the ground the very properties that wood
ashes contain, and all fruit trees thrive
best on lands that contain all the elements
OF vegetable decomposition.

A remarkable example Of devotion to
duty on the part Of iuryman occurred in
q rural Vermont town, few years ago
Capt. A. killed q dog belonging to his
neighbor Smith, and the same was charged
to one G. Capt. A. was juror and voted
for the conviction of g., but has confessed
that he killed the animal and justified
himself in voting for the conviction of g..
on the ground that his oath required him
to decide the case according to law and
evidence, and it was fairly proved, he
said that G., killed the dog.

The religion Of the next generation
must be such that the scientific man, and
the reasonable man, and the liberal man,

the profound philosopher may meet IN Its
simple, sweet light. Itis to tighten every

As she sat looking at this rather crude
production Of hers 4 difficulty occurred to
her. How should she send it? Carry it
to the post-otiice, and let the postmistress,
who had known her from a baby, discover
that she had written to Harry Willard?
Never. Drop it into the post-box? No,
for the handwriting would betray her, and
the whole town would hear of it. Could
she give it to Harry herself? No, not
that! Or give it to Susan to give him?
Worse yet. Thoroughly perplexed and
disheartened, Lottie feq a prey to her own
fears. If Harry had the letter, he might
be disguised by her torwardness, or else
too much displeased to forgive her at all.
Perhaps it was unladylike to think of send
ing the letter, and yet. if she did not send
it, Harry would 60 away.
