a Morbid Imaginatioit.

To great extent 1t controls m ad's
destiny. BY its aid we can make good
or evil out of anything, but it too oiten
transforms the good into evil. Think
of it as you will, the fact exists, never
theless, that we are too apt to be shad-
ing with pain, what ought to be the
unalloyed pleasures of life. You may
call it nervousness" but it is no thing
more-nothing less than morbid i'm
agination, and it requires but little Hort
on your part to arise aud shake it off.
We are quite too apt to be drea,i ling
the duties of life; they seem to- be
mountains to overcome mountains in
the distance which grow more, and still
more formidable as we view them.
Then, too, men and women often make
a great ado about little crosses, an con-
strue every well-tlmed suggestion Of a
friend as reprimand; and thus with
the events of each passing hour, and the
horror of the future forever before
them, they contrive to make both
themselves and their immediate friends,
most devotedly miserable. Just reflect
moment,th then answer US truI y, are not
these things thus?
Nonsense. But nonsense is MT name
for such folly. But what is the RENE
dyY just rise above these things in
moment; spend little more time, lit
tie more energy, little more mental
FIRE, If need be, in performing the duties
of life, and you will surmount iii ficul-
ties with an alacrity that will astonish
you What you before took to be cold.
ness in friends will be the warmest love;
whatyou before looked upon as mountains
will not only sink into mole-hills, but
they will disappear altogether. Yes
grapple with every apparent obstacle
with the strength Of a giant and you
will overcome it with an ease and
freedom that will surprise you. Laugh
at the supposed reprimand of a friend,
and correct the fault, if it be one; keep
cheerful face before your body, and
rise above petty fault-fnding, and yoa
will enjoy freedom of both mind and
body Make the best of every event Of
life, aud brood not over unexpected
crosses; try to turn every thing to
good account, and never 60 moping
about like walking pestilence, unless
you desire to die of diseased magma
ton.
In other words, the power to make
life not only endurable, but pleasant,
lies wholly in yourselves, aud the very
act of attempting to perform life's duties
with pleasure, will give you strength to
do so; the very effort to smile instead
Of frown on those around you, will bring
with it its own reward.
This is not all. When the mind is
diseased the body is sure to be. This
is one of the rules, however, which will
not work both ways. A cheerful mind
may exist in diseased body, but no
mortal body can withstand the ravages
of morbid, disturbed, diseased imagin.

MULCH. If orchardists wou.i
mulch their new planted trees ~

complaint that nurserymen send out
poor stock. The mulch prevents the
soil over the roots from drying, and
insures vigorous growth.

IMPROVEMENT IN TELEGRAPnY.--
A Washington correspondent of the
Journal of Commerce gives an account
of a wonderful telegraph instrument
now undergoing experimental trial
in the Office of the Signal Bureau.
Mr.. Merritt Gally is the inventor.
and has taken out several patents in
Europe and in this country for bis
new system. The apparatus used has
not been described except as sci
entifcally arranged system Of instru-
ment circuits and switches" The
object Of the invention is to enable a
number Of instruments TO be opera
ted simultaneously on a single wire
in either or both directions, and at diff.
ferent stations along the line with
out conflict, each instrument to do as
much work a. the Morse or other in
struments in common use. The in
struments are adapted to any kind Of
receiver. either sounder or dial or
chemical recorder, and each trans
nitter is adapted to the receiver.

front of the one occupied by Louise
Michel, the celebrated heroine of the
barricades, exiled at the same time a:

beliefs, Theroigne de Mirecourt. Af

could have gone without being recog.
nized or disturbed, but the energy Of
her resistance had made her name re.

trembled before women after having
been palsied in presence Of the Prus-
slams. An order was given to hunt
her up, and as some friends forced
her to conceal herself, what do you
think was done by Marshall McMa-
hon, Duke OF Magenta, Commander
in-Chief of the Versailles troops p
He felt no scruple at sending to ar
rest Louise Michel's old mother, and
retaining her as hostage, warning her
that she would be mercilessly shot
within twenty-four hours if her daugh-
ter did not give herself up. Louise
Michel did what might be expected
of her brave heart She went and
gave herself up to the soldiers, with
this single reproach upon her lips,
Here l am; shoot me down! But |

the Commune with the killing Of the
hostages All France knows how
she bore herself before the Council of

which her faith in the Republic rose

i WATER REss.-Many a one has a
small stream in which water crosses
might be successfully grown. They
like running water. Its slight pep
perry taste is very agreeable to many
people. In the early Spring time it
is one of the first things to come in
to use without the aid of hot-beds or
artificial heat. 1t is at this early
season that it is not only most well
come, but actually best: for as the
season advances it Is rather too hot.
People who have no running water
may have water-cresses, but not quite
so easily. They do well on any rich
piece of ground, if tolerably we'll wa
tered. Just before they are used,
say for a week or so, they will require
shading in order to give them a deli
cate flavor; a hot-bed frame is an ex-
cellent thing for this purpose. The
plants can be kept moister under such
circumstances, and beside, the sashes
being on. keep the atmosphere mois-
ter in the dry day time. Then when
desirable to shade. the frame affords
the best opportunity for doingso. 1t
is very easily raised. Young roots
thrown into a stream of water will
soon learn to take care Of themselves,
and in garden culture the little pieces
grow as easily as sweet potato plants.
STICKING PEAs.-To those who
have to procure stakes for sticking
peas at great cost, the following
method will prcve advantageous, be-
ing very cheap, simple and easily per-
formed. A few rough stakes should
be obtained and driven into the
ground on either side of the row,
about twelee feet apart. These stakes
should be of a corresponding height
to that of the peas, and when the re.
quired number for line is inserted,
some tar Irvine or other strcug cord
may be tied to the end of the stake,
and pass along the line of stakes.
making a turn of each within few
inches of the ground, and as growth
progresses, raise the next turn a little
higher, advancing in succession until
the plants attain their full height.
These lines being run on at the right
time, the tendrils of the peas will
clasp firmly around them and sup
port the plants quite equal to the
well-known plan of sticking. Some
imagine an advantage to be obtained
in this way of training, as the lines
get better circulation Of air, and
pods may be gathered at all times
without injuring the haulm.
How TO DIG TREES. To dig trees
properly, especially those of consid
cradle size, the workman should stand
facing the tree, thrusting in his spade,
which should be ground sharp, to
ward the tree. taking out each
successive spadeful until he has com
pleted circle about the tree of d.
ameter sufficient so that the tree may
have plenty of roots.

From the Portsmouth TINES.

At Huntington | had but few
hours to spend, but in that time |
had the pleasure of forming the ac-
quaintance of several of its prominent
citizens, among whom I may men,
ton Coils. Harvey and Kirk of the
Huntington Iron and Coal Mining
and Manufacturing Company, and
Major Gilbert, editor of that sterling
Democratic journal, the Huntington
ADVERTISER. The city of Hunting
ton is out of debt, not owing dollar,
and it has not been foolish enough to
issue any bonds. Though the panic
was severely felt there on account OF
the G. d o. r. r. stockholders being
unable to raise money to pay their
laborers, still the citizens are cheerful
and hopeful. The road is now dis
charging its Indebtedness by paying
its employees as far as possible in scrip,
