FROM THE SUMMIT OF The PEAKS
OF OTTER.

Ragged and irregular masses of
rocks projected over q tremendous
abyss, into which we hardly dared
to look. A strong wind blew
steadily along the height. We
could not help fancying that some
of the masses of stone, apparent
ly so lightly suspended, might fall
and crush us. Under the great
dome OF the translucent sky we
stood trembling, shut off from the
lower world, and poised on a mar
row pinnacle, from which we
might at any moment, by an I'M
wary step, be hurled down. An
old stone cabin, which had once
served as the lodging of some ad-
venturous person as desired to see
sunrise from the peak, but which
had been partly destroyed during
the war, was perched on one of
the corners of the mighty crag;
from it a slender board was laid
to sharp corner in the upper
most cliff, and up that we scramb-
led. Then making our way on the
top-most stone, so delicately bal
anced that it sometimes sways and
trembles in the wind, we gazed
down on the valley of Virginia.
In front of us, looking over fertile
Bedford County, it seemed a
garden; from point to point
cleaned the spires and roofs of
villages; mountains of every i'm
aginable shape rose on all sides;
and the forests at the edges of
the gaps in the Blue Bidge seemed
delicatest fringes of purple. We
could trace the massive and curv-
ing ranges of the Alleghanies, and
the rudely- quilted sides of the
nearest peaks. Their reddish soil,
showing up strongly under the
bright sun, produced a magical
effect. Nowhere were the adjacent
peaks, however, so near as to les
sen the sublime illusion of seem
ling suspension in mid-air, produc-
ed by our climb to the highest
rock of the peak. The cabins
along the roads below looked like
black dots; the men at work in
the fields like ants. From the
rocky throne one seemed to have
the whole map of Virginia spread
out before him; and the backbone
of the Aileghanies appeared bu
as a toy, which one might stride
over, or display at Villa Ram
Bile in Virginia. Scribner's TO

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

very lew II any farms pay eX-
penses unless each owner gives it
personal attention.
Use every means to get crops in
early. Backward seasons must
now be made up by extra hours.
Charity may be important, but
it is not as necessary on the farm
as keeping the tools in their
places.
Horse radish should be about
every mans premises. It is a de-
licious relish, especially IN early
spring time.
The way for farmer to trust in
Providence is to do faithful, hard
work, and attend to his farm
strictly.
The farmer should be An educa-
ted man. Formerly all necessary
qualification was physical develop
ment.
A HoosIer farmer says that we
should select white seed corn with
white cobs, and yellow seed corn
with red cobs.
Lay down this rule, that when
the men stop for q lunch or sup
per, the horses should be fed also.
1t is stated in the papers that a
Carroll county, Iowa, farmer in
tends setting out 10000 white oak
trees this spring.
Milk COWS in the New York mar
ket are worth from $40 to $40;
hay from $1S to $25 per ton; straw
; $14 to SIS.
Casing about what the grange
is going to do for the farmer will
, never win without faithful, ener-
getic work on the farm.
Do all work as cheaply as posi-
: BILE, but do it thoroughly. The
! prospect is good for remunerative
; prices if economically produced
There is a great deficiency in
: farmers gardens of the medical
, and useful herbs. Norwood,
tansy, sage, thyme, summer savo'
~, etc, are frequently needed
: end are some times troublesome
!, to obtain.
D An Indiana farmer thinks Alsikt
9 clover makes better hay than rec
clover, and has five times as many
: blossoms IS red clover. The seet
! should be taken from the frs
: crop. He thinks it good fertil
izer.
q If the farmer wishes his bowl t.
= dow with rich milk and cream
J next winter, he should recollec
that Mangel Wurtzel is the bes
,. root to feed COWS on in the sum
mer and spring, and that plantini
r time is close at hand.
The Agriculturist manifests tn
a right spirit when it says that
nj good boy will often do as nuc
Il work as 9 man. But you mus
n know how to treat him in order t
I. make him useful. Give him tn
best tools, the best pillow, th
steadiest team, and the neWei
70 harness. If he breaks anythin
be do not scold, but help to repa
IS damages and encourage him to d
better.

During the days of "specie pay
ment," before the war, the country
was flooded with paper money.
Every State had banks of its own
liking, but all were ostensibly on
the "specIe" basis. But in those
days 3 man could not travel from
one State to another without suffer-
ing 9 shave of from five to twenty
five per cent. on his money. The
banks were hid away in the remot-
est corners OF the States, to pre-
vent note-holders from finding them.
And when panics came-and they
did come even when we were q
specie paying" people-all tho
banks were burst, and millions of
dollars were lost to the note holders.
Since the establishment OF the ma
tional bank system we have had q
panic, but not q dollar-note of all
the millions issued has been a loss
to the note-holder. But yet the
New York Sun idiotically compares
the wildcat system to the present
national system.-St. Louis Demo.
