SPOILED HIS PIETY.

Horace Greeley used to affirm that
newspaper men were the most patient
people, as class, on earth, and he was
not far from right, though there are times
when patience ceases to be virtue with
the most enduring. Nearly everybody in
the western part of the State knows Burr,
who used to start newspaper about once
month the year round, generally bring
ing them out in Grand Rapids, but some
times making flying trip to other points
Burr could stand to be told that he lied
about his circulation, was on the fence as
a politician, and that he didn't know any,
thing about publishing paper. and when
men threatened to sue or thrash him he
only smiled sad smile and wished that
mankind wouldn't get excited. During a
religious revival in Grand Rapids, Burr
was converted and it Frequently happened
that religious people called at his office to
talk with him. One day minister came
in, and after talking for while he pro-
posed prayer. He was in the act OF kneel
ing when his foot struck one of the outside
forms, which was leaning against leg of
the stone, ready to be lifted up, and over
it went making half bushel of 'pi., '
Burr looked at the ruin wrought, thought
of the two weeks over-work, saying I'm
trying to be a christian and set good ex-
ample. but rat my buttons If can't lick
you in just two minutes" !" The clergyman
backed down stairs in no time, lodging
the I've brush on the way, and Burr back
slid at once and sent down for pint of
timulant.-DetroH Free Press.

FRUIT PRospECTs.-The fruit prospects,
so far as the life of the fruit buds is con-
cerned. seem very good this season; but
Mr.. Manning, who is the chairman of the
Fruit Committee Oft Massachusetts Hor-
ticultural Society, and one of the most in
telligent fruit culturists in the Union, has
we'll show in the last Massachusetts report
that mere winter temperature plays but
minor part in the anual fruit show. OF
course, when it kills the buds onthe branch
es there in an end of fruit for that season
but after it lets the buds get through, it
merely gives them into the hands OF nat
ural forces, which take their turn in Oh
structing productiveness.
1t is no uncommon thing TO have peach
and apple orchards perfect sheets of bloom
and yet hardly fruit follow. All we
can say at present of fruit prospects is
that the buds have not been killed, and
this, SO far, is in favor of good fruit crops
