porAs11 roe PEAcH TREEs.

According to the statement of MI
Sheppard, At a meeting Of the Cincin-
natl Horticultural Society, says the
Country Gentleman, Potash is a cheap
and excellent manure for peach trees.
A barrel. costing him $35, lasted him
four years for an orchard of twenty
five acres. He dissolved the potash
in water. making it of strength just
sufficient to float a potato, and then
gave each tree three quarts of this
liquid every spring. From two thou
sand peach trees treated thus, he sold
1,5O0 bushels in 1857; $50 bushels in
1865, and last year (lS7l we suppose
], 800 bushels, and prospects still good
for satisfactory crops in the future.
He claims to have sold $4,000 worth
of peaches in five years. This would
he an average of $I,20 per tree for
each year good yield certainly. II
potash in such small Quantities will
produce such an effect, it must soon
come into general use.

SURE CURE FoR SMOKING.

One who has tried and knows it, re-
commends the following rule. He
says that if this does not cure nothing
else will, aud as it costs but little, the
reader can lose nothing by making
the trial. The rule is this: begin on
cigars, two for a quarter, and smoke
Iour the first day then drop to ten
cent cigars and smoke five; the next
day buy three for a quarter and smoke
six (; next eight, or four for quarter; ;
then ten fve-cent cigars, and the fol-
lowing day smoke twenty of those
two for nickel, and if you are not
cured ofsmoking or dead, you needn't
try either self-denial or suicide, for
you are proof against both.

HOW THE EYE Is SWEPT AND WASH


For us to be able to see objects clear
~ and distinctly it is necessary that
the eye should be kept clean. For
this purpose it is furnished with lit
tie gland, from which flows a watery
fluid (tears), which is spread over the
eye by the lid, and it is afterwards
swept off by it, and runs through a
hole in the bone to the under surface
of the nose, while the warm air, pass
ing over it while breathing, evapo-
rates it. It is remarkable that no
such gland can be found in the eve OF
fish. as the element in which they live
answers the same purpose.
If the eye had not been furnished
with liquid to wash it,. and a lid to
sweep it off, things would appear as
they do when you look through a
dusty glass. Along the edge of the
eyelids there are q great number of
little tubes or glands, from which
flows an oily substance which spreads
over the surface of the skin, and thus
prevents the edges from besng sore or
irritated, and it also helps to keep
tears within the lid. There are also
six little muscles attached to the eye
which enablesus to moveit in every
directou; and when we consider the
different motions they are capable of
giving to the eye, we cannot but adj
lnire The goodness of Him who form
ed them, and thus saved US the fron-
Bile of turning our heads every time
we wished to view an object.

A RUTLAND farmer sold his colt on

THE WRONG ROAD TO HEAvEN..

A party of revivalists recently left
st. Louis for trip through Texas,
travelling by rail. At the town of
Houston, while the train waited a
few moments, it became known
through the city who were aboard,
and the citizens were anxious that the
revivalists should tarry there awhile.
Finally they persuaded the ladies TO
go upon the platform at the depot and
sing. In the meantime Mrs. Morrill,,
wife of a prominent Baptist clergy
man of st. Louis, stepped across the
street to a restaurant, aud while there
overheard conversation between two
young fellows, who were wondering
what was the cause of the disturb
ance. At length she turned to- one of
them and said, "They're band of
pilgrims, singing on their way to
heaven" One of them laziIy replied,
"Waal, they've come a long way out
