SUNDAY ADJUSTMENTS. John Stuart
Mill is severe against the opponents Of
Sunday amusements. He says:
The only ground on which restric-
tions on Sunday amusements can be
defended must be that they are relig-;
iously wrong, notion Of legislation
which can never be too earnestly pro-;
tested against. 1t remains to be proved
that society or any of its officers hold q
commission from on High to avenee
any supposed ofense to Omnipotence
which is not also wrong to our fellow
creatures. The notion that it is one
mans duty that another should be re-
ligious was the foundation of all the re-
ligious prosecutions ever perpetratcd,
and, if admitted, would fully Justify
them. Though the feeling which breaks
out in repeated attempts to stop railway
travelling on Sunday, in the resistance
to the opening of museums and the like,
has not the cruelty of the old persecu-
tions, the state of mind indicated but
it is fundamentally the same. It is o
determination not to tolerate others in
doing what is permitted by their religion
because it is not permitted by the per-
secutor's religion.

Growth OF the Oyster.

If, now, to this triple draft, &C.
casioned by the anchoring the shell.
growth and the development Of the in
fernal organs, one should add the ne.
costly of procuring food in the usual
amount and by the usual
means, would not the
combined demand be exhaustive beyond
the little creatures powers and resource
es? 1t should be observed, too, that
now the food.necessity is more urgent
than at any other period Of its exist.
ence. 1t is also observable that the
banquet prepared is ampler than at any
other time. This is surely striking
instance in lowly quarters of wise
conservation Of material AMI force. I
am aware that this pad is differently
disposed of by some naturalists; that
it is said to drop off and to be wasted !;
but, as have witnessed similar utili-
cation Of an otherwise useless member
in other larval FERNS, I believe
that observation will establish this
view. And how remarkable this inter.
nal change, so rapidly progressing in
the little oyster! 1t is q series of al
most magic transformations. The eyes
If it had any-are gone. The exter.
nal cillia, which served it for locomo-
tive and breathing organs, disappear
and within appear true brachaise, like
those of its mother. A stomach, too,
is now built up, and the labial fingers
are provided. And that tiny, true
heart appears, to the music Of whose
beating the little creature begins its
earnest lire.work as perfect oyster,
although hardly yet larger than the
head Of pin. When a month old it
equals large peain size; at six months
it is an inch or more in length; at four
years it is large and amply ready for
market, or even at three years, if the
conditions Of growth have been favor
able.--Prof. LocAacood IN Popular Sci

Ira Aldridge, the negro actor who
gained such fame in Europe, used to
play Lear, and Of course got himself up
as a white man. A fcsh.colored skull
cap with a few locks of silver hair COW
ering his woody curls came down to his
eyebrows; wax addition was made to
his fat nose; thick coat Of paint be-
decked his cheeks, while great white
beard concealed the lower part of his
face and fell upon his bosom. He
dressed the character successfully, and
in Germany and Russia, where he was q
great favorite. he was thought to play
it with magnificent force and genius.

SnndrY Matters.

Upon stormy days there will be
found plenty Of occupation in repairing
harness, cleaning and putting away
tools, working in the carpenters shop.
repairing grain bags, etc. Such work
is recreation. As this is the season for
selling poultry, let there be good sup
ply kept for home use, and those which
are kept for breeding should be we'll
cared for, SO that they may lay early.
The poultry house should be kept clean
and we'll whitewashed, if it has not been
already done. Keep the pillow running
in the corn stubbles until the ground
is frozen. The long evenings should
be devoted to study and domestic en-
tertainments; in which the younger
should BE- joined by the older ones.
There are few things which will more
readily make farm life agreeable to
children than the pleasant evenings
which may be spent in farm house,
with books, papers, tsys and gnmes, in
which the old folks renew their youth
again. 1t is the want Of this compan.
ionship which makes country life 50
generally dull and uninviting to young
people.

THE DE0ERTEO TEMPLE
BY. CHARLOTTE CORDNER.

The temple is empty, the doors .respre"d
Tie altar is dark, and sad, sobbing
sound, -. q
Like the moaning Of wind, is heard ct it,
Like those which breathe requiems over
many mound.
Creeping near, did Confession most ten-
derby twine
Round the fashioned wall and vide
open gate,
A mantle Of green, which chung like y
vine,
And hid the decay Of its fast-changins
state.
Till, ono morning, II ey found that the
-. spirit had flown
Which had kind)ed the lights oh the
altar that glowed;-
That the book hid been clasped, a:d the
:: viols deep tine,
Which in sweet, simple meas ures 50 o.
ten had flowed,
Was mute; for string, in the still hours
Of night,
Had snapped to unite in some sympho-
ny grand
Which was heard by the Priest, WREN
catching sight
OF temple more fair, in the bright
morning land.
Whose spire cleaved the clouds, like star
in the sir;
And the roses of Love clamored over
tn, walls;
And the chimes rang welcome from the
burden and care
m low, silvery sounds, like . mothers
sweet call.
No fortune he left; hut field nicely
sOWn,
Which angels shall garner when harvest
draws near
And the hearts OF the village have golden
grain grown,
Then-the Priest to his children again
will appear.

"R. G." says: Farmers here (Ohio)
have been in tho habit Of sowing IL
bushels Of wheat per acre. I am salts
fled it is too much, if the ground is in
good condition and the seed all sound"
There is one point that should not be
overlooked in discussing this question:
Thin sown wheat is apt to be late. And
late heat is moro liable to injury from
rust and nudge than that which ripens
earlier. IT everything is favorable, the
late wheat may produce the heavier
crop.

hoppers have destroyed nearly every
thing, except wheat, writes that he has
contracted for 10000 bushels, Of wheat,
ct SO cents per bushel, to feed his
horses. So far they have done we'll,
and the wheatis much cheaper than
oats. l suppose the only danger is
from the horses eating too much at .
time: If it could be soaked in water
Tor four or five hours, it would prob.
ably be less likely to swell in the

still better, but l suppose this cannot

tions. An open shed that may be
closed in driving storms ought to be
provided, with roomy yard in which
they may lie in fair weather. Oats
and corn are both dear this season, and
bran, rye or buckwheat, may be given
with equal profit. A little variation
feed is good for sheep, but the changes
should not be made frequently, or they
will learn to look for it and become dis
satisfied. Frozen grass or any cold
watery feed is bad for ewes that are to
lamb early.
Breeding Ewes, to lamb iii April,
should be put with the ram this month.
From this time their feed should be
gradually increased.
Lambs, and yearling ewes, that are
not to be bred from, may be put to-
gether and kept separate from the
Other sheep. If any Of the focks have
the scours, tablespoonful Of mix
turc of prepared chalk and pepper
mint in water, should be given once a
day. Costiveness is q uickly rcmedied
by little linseed oil-cake meal.
Swine.-Fat hogs should be finished
up as fast as possible. Those intended
for home use, should be finished upon
dry shellcd corn, with pure water only
for drink. This will produce firm hard
pork. Store hogs will do best upon
cooked food, and in place Of corn, boiled
potatoes and bran will make excellent
feed. Buckwheat is too heating food
for pigs, and should be avoided. Brood
sows may have the company Of the
Boar. if pigs arc wanteb in March. The
increased value of the first litter of
pigs, will pay for pure bred boar.
Nothing is more certain than that it
pays to breed only from pure blooded
males, of whatever kind or breed they
may be. But blood will not stand in
place of feed. Blooded pigs are most
profitable and thrive best where there
is 4 full corn crib.
