The Gentle Life.


This is the beautiful heritage of the
well-born man and the gentle woman. ~
They may be poor or rich to-day--they
may be living life of leisure or toiling
for their bread-all the same, they car
ry with them the grace, the care the
gentleness. the knowledge which we call
intuition or instinct which comes from
generations Of culture, aud thousand
qualities of mind and heart which win
social recognition and bring happiness to
the possessor 81 sm1a
The accumulation of moro money as
an inheritance for children is often worse
than nothing in their bands; it deprives
them OF all incentive to personal effort,
and rot unfraquenily proves the means
| by which they ride fast to destruction. -
Money is worse than nothing il the past
and associations Of the present have not,
taught us how to put it to its noblest,
uses.
But the order, the training, tho cxpe-
rience Of life are invaluable They form,
With education key that unlocks the re- !.
cesses of the world. and becomes q pow.
er that no loss in stocks or bonds, or
houses or lands, can deprive the unfor-
tunate possessor of. They make him tho
equal of the best, and therefore at case
with all men. Deprived Of leisure and
rscourees which he would know how to
appreciate, he still finds within himself
more than others find outside of them
selves. 0utwardly, his life is isolated
inwardly, he holds communion with all
that is best and finest in art and society
and literature. His gracious and kindly
manners, which he retains in spite Of
poverty or wealth, show that he consorts
only with the modest, whether his dwell
ling here be hut or a palace.
FORGIVENESS The mantle Of charity
ought to be thrown around the faults Of
our fellow beings. Thy sins be for
given thee" should be the answer for us
to give to those who have snned against
us. and wished to be taken back to our
bosoms and be as they once were, pure
and sinless. Forgive and forget mem /,
Dry will not let US forget, but it is in the
power Of exalted human benevolence.
Saddening scenes will often press them
selves upon our attention, even when we
do the best to prevent them. So scenes
Of inhnrmony between ourselves and our
human relations will arise in the soul,
notwithstanding the presence and inhu-
ence Of that principle Of Christian charity
which should inspire every human soul
with its divine cfIulgcnce. Yet memory
however, faithful to her trust, will not
prevent US from being lcnient towards
the faults and folics Of others, and even
to forgive their departure from true
life.

NEW ENGLAND SrocKHoLDERs.-It is q
mistake says the Boston Traveller. to suppose,
as many do, that our New England manufac-
turing corporations are owned by wealthy CAPT
taiists. As general thing large capitalists
have but small amount invested in them.
They are too precarious and fluctuating in their
values to indace many of this class to invest in
them very largely and in our older and most
successful corporations there are but few who.
as you run your eyes over the large columns of
names and figures, are set down as owning a
number of shares which it requires two figures
to express, and as the wealthy projectors and
managers of these establishments pass ayay.
and their estates are divided, the number con-
stantly lessons. We notice this as particularly
the case with the Amoskeag, the most success
full OF all the large manufacturing corporations
OF New England, with a capital of s3,0OO,0 900,
and In which there are very few stockholders
holding more than ten shares but very great
number OF farmers and men of moderate means
who own one two and three shares each The
company was Incorporated in 1881, but its frst
dividend of six per cent. was not made till 1894.
In 1885 it divided Is per cent; and eight per
cent. IN 1886, four per cent. in 1887, three per
cent. in 1888, nine per cent. in 1889, nothing in
lS4O, six per cent. in 1S4l, four per cent, in
lS42, seven per cent. in 1S43, and nine per cent.
In 1874. In the five years from 1S45 to 1s49,
inclusive, its dividends amounting to seventy
per cent. were made in stock, adding so much
to the capital On this enlarged stock, how
ever, its dividends were only six per cent. in
1850, four per cent in 1851, seven per cent. in
1852, eight per cent. in 1853, and the same in
1854, six per cent. in 1856, four per cent. in
1856, three per cent. in 1857 three per cent. in
1898. eight per cent. in 1859, nine per cent in
1870, nine per cent in 1861. and ten per cent in
1867, which is as far along as we have any
memoranda. The past year the earnings have
been fourteen per cent. 1t should be observed,
however, that the strength of this company and
most Of our other successful corporations, is
due mainly to the making of moderate diyi-
dends, or Withholding them altogether until an
adequate surplus is provided for working capi-
tai

stand that the gentleman who has for some
months past been regarded as the coming Re-
publican candidate for Congress, in the eley-
enth district, has gracefully withdrawn in favor
of Mr.. Isaac H. Bailey, who will, undoubtedly,
be nominated by acclamation 1t is but just to
that gentleman-whom we have understood to
be the Hon. VIM. A. Darling-to say that he
has more than once offered to withdraw, in case
any one OF several distinguished citizens would
accept the nomination, and that had he known
OF MIR: Bailey's being an available candidate,
month ago, he would then have retired.
Mr.. Darling's action is exceedingly credita-
BILE to him, and will not be forgotten. His de.
sire to represent a district so important as the
eleventh was entirely honorable, and no one
will condemn him for having sought to make
his nomination sure. Neither is any reflection
upon him or his ability that man of such Pc
culiar and shining talents as Mr. Bailey is pre-
ferred to himself.
If the Republicans could secure the services
of any one of the best men of their party in this
city, as representative, they could not find a
man who, on the floor of the House, and adj.
midst the changing exigencies of debate, would
be the peer of Mr.. Bailey, as a ready, forcibIe.
witty, .pungent and fearless speaker.-N. Y.

l have seen post-horses (mail-stages) in
Holstein and Hanover fed on brown rye
bread, made OF rather coarse, unbolted white
rye -four, somewhat sour, owing to the Tactic
acid (sour milk ris;ngs) employed in making
dough, but well baked in kilns constructed ex-
pressly, wherein the loaves, varying in weight
to upward of forty pounds, stay sometimes
twelve to fourteen hours, according to the
condition of the firing, consisting of peat, turf
parings, brown coal, (bituminous) wood,
stubble, etc. saw large solid loaf brought
out. from which chunks of the size of large
walnut were cut into portable manger and
small beer poured on, well mixed up. The
horses greedily fell to, and with moderate
watering atop large lock of nice hay, drove
off at a rattling pace. This is a handy lunch
and no doubt sustained the cattle well.-C0r-

How 4 Raised my WatcrmelOns.
For the benefit of your farmer readers, and
in answer to many inquiries relative to my
watermelon crop this season, forward you
the following statement:
The ground was ploughed on the 17th of
March to the depth Of thirteen inches, being
light sandy soil. 1t twas narrowed twice
thoroughly, and laid off for hills eleven feet
apart, though think twelve would have been
better. Holes were then made to receive the
manure from twelve to fourteen inches deep,
caro- being taken TO break the hard pan or
subsoil at the bottom. used half ton of
the Guanhani guano to 1000 hills, putting it
in first, and one peck of well-rOtted stable
manure 10 each hill. 1t was then covered
about three inches deep with soil. The first
planting commenced the 18th of April, and
continued at intervals for five days, till had
planted four times. The first planting was
nearly destroyed by birds and field mice, al
though in the end / secured an excellent
stand, scarcely having missing hill, have
no date of their coming up, but after they had
four leaves they were attacked by a striped
bug, which seemed to come all at once and by
thousands. l Immediately procured six
pounds of Paris green, which mixed with
plaster, at the rate of five parts to one of Par
is green. used an ordinary pepper box, and
had the mixture put on when the plants were
wet with dew. The weather remained dry
for several days, which was favorable, and af-
ter one application never saw any more
bugs. am of the opinion that if used in too
large quantities, it will check the growth of
the vine. The crop was hoed three times,
and 1the middles thoroughly plowed each
time. i thinned them out as fast as they
commenced to run to one vine to the hill.
After this l had Eo more trouble from any
thing except from mOleS and crows. The
crows were easily disposed of, but moles
consider the greatest pest of the farm. They
damaged my melon crop at least 800 this
year. The cost for cultivation, hauling to the
vessel, manure and seed amounted to $3.50.
The gross sales on first shipment was $1,145.-
55. I have yet about 5000 to hear FROM
