be made quite as dry as by the ore common
practice OF being two days about giving 1t less

About the amount of curing which hay

so many opinions that we hardly feel like ex-
pressing ours. There are so many circum-
stances depending, that It would be foolish TO
try to lay down rules for guiding us. 1t takes
longer to dry green than ripe grass; longer
when it is wet with rain o. dew than when it
is free from external moisture. longer when
the ground is cold and damp THAI when it IS
hot and dry; longer in still than in wild,
weather; and longer if it is thick and ',,eovy
than q II light and thin. Again, aite.f storing

THAT LITTLE GIRL.

The iovial captain of one OF the
steamships now in port tells a good
story relative to the May and Decem-
Der marriages SO common in Brazil. A
Brazilian gentleman, apparently over
so years of age, was a passenger on his
vessel. He was accompanied by two
girls, one about 10, and another
younger. The gentleman was sea-sick
in the cabin, and the girls were on
deck, whereupon the captain eadeavored
to amuse them-took them on his
knees, and told them stories, while he
enjoyed their prattle and pretty smiles.
In the midst of this pleasant occupa-
ton tie gentleman came on deck. With
a fierce expression he gazed upon the
scene for q moment. and tken inquired
in a harsh, husky voice; "You, sir +;
are you married." "Yes /; l have a
daughter older than your little girl
here" said the Captain. "She re-
minds me yer, much of mine" Here
he patted the pretty cheek. "That
little girl, sir" exclaimed the indignant
Brazilian, with great emphasis, "thas
little girl is my wife, sir" The cap
tain collapsed.

A curious fullfllment of a dream o.

A NAL by the name of Joe Willians
had told a dream to many of his fellow
soldiers, some of whom had related it
10 me months previous to the occur
renee which / now relate:
"He dreamed that We crossed a riv-
or, marched over a mountain, and
csmped neal q church located in a
wood near which a terrible battle en-
sued, and in a charge, just as We
crossed a r~avine, he was shot in the
breast. On the ever memorable It'll of
December, 1862, as we moved at double
ouick to take our place in the line of
battle, then already hotly engaged, we

frame building, belonging to the

made no reply, and never thought of
the matter again until the evening. We
had broken the enemy's line, and were
in full pursuit, when we came upon a
dry ravine in the wood, and Williams
said, Just on the other side of the mol
low 1 was shot in my dream, and l will
stick my hat under my shirt Suiting
the action to the word as be ran along,
he doubled it up and crammed it in his
bosom. Scarcely had he adjusted it
before a mimic ball knocked him out

out his hat, and shouted, I'm all
right : The bail raised a black spot
about the size of a mans hand inst over
his heart and dropped into his shoe"

THERE has just died at Paris a sur
vivor of the battle Of Trafalgar. His
name was Plihon, and he was engaged
as cabin-boy on board one of the French
ships. His vessel was captured, and he
was taken prisoner to England, and re-
manned there until the restoration of
the Bourbons. While there, the then
Archbishop of Canterbury took an in
terest in HIM and gave him a good edu
cation, including a knowledge of the
English language. On his return to
France, he settled in Nantes, and for
more than thirty years gained his living
as a teacher of English.
