ochard trees heavy laden overhead, at
our feet the ground red with berries

claim the great, even almost endless
abundance of the crops for the pres
ent year. However large or liberal
may be the estimates, the reality will
exceed them all, no estimate yet
made, can tell their full amounts +;
never before in this "Golden Land
have the crops been so universally
grand in every variety.
We are surprised as we travel over
the various sections to note how much
greater the crops will be than the
most sanguine anticipated. We now
have reports of wheat fields that will
harvest 40, so, 60, aud even 70 bush
els to the acre, and barley 60 to 100
bushels, while oats, corn, rye and
buckwheat promise an equally abund
ant harvest. California Farmer.

A Drummer's Experience.

1t seems that a drummer, T. w. H.
Cones by name, reined in his foaming
valise at the Faulkner House, and,
after sampling several varieties of
whiskey, made the rounds of his Gus
toners and then, in somewhat exhili-
rated condition, sought his downy
couch. From a room just across the
hall there came cachinnatory bursts of
female merriment, mingled with ejacu-
latory suggestions to "don't, F'behave
yourself now" etc. The curiosity of
the drummer was aroused. He sus-
pected that some fun was ahoat, and
he wanted to have some of it in his'n.
Slyly opening a door, he brought a
chair, climbed up on it and stuck his
head in at the transom of the room
from whence there was a sound of rev.
elry by night. 1t don't matter what
he saw. But at any rate he enjoyed
it, and would, bad it not been for an
unfortunate accident, have been amply
rewarded for the danger and trouble
of the investment, The accident was
the unfortunate tumbling over of the
chair leaving him hanging in a half
choked condition, with his head in
side. The noise attracted the atten
ton of the occupants of the room, and
succession of feminine screams we're
emitted The room happened to be-
long to a man-the Secretary and
Treasurer of the hub and spoke fac
tory-and the woman was his wife.
This man of blood happened to have
cowhide in his room, used as a riding
whip, and, coming out with good
deal of alacrity, he striped that unfor
tunate drug man until he wonld have

The Difficulties Of Watermelon
Culture.

"Can the watermelon be successful
ly cultivated on sandy soil, in a rural
town of 1000 inhabitants, and a large
theological institute located near by
containing 12o students studying for
the ministry?" The question excited
considerable comment and loud dis.
cussion among the agriculturists pres
ent Cat the meeting of "The Hay
seeds" in Cleveland), and nearly an
hour and a half was spent in discuss
ing the same. An old greengrocer,
who had raised early and late vegeta-
bles for the market for twenty years
of his earlier life, said he could raise
melons on top of barn, or on bill.
lard table even, let him pick the local
ity and his neighbors. 1t was not so
much the soil nor season, that the
melon depended upon for its perfec-
ton, as it was the peculiarities of the
inhabitants of the country round about.
Where there was an excess of colored
citizens it was almost as impossible to
raise paying crop of melons as it was
to keep spring chickens unless they
roasted at night in a Herring's safe.
Then again, colleges have bad effect
upon the melon crop, and even min
isters family of seven boys has been I
known to blight large patch in a
night. In sections of country where
these drawbacks exist, the speaker had
learned that the only method to insure
a full crop of melons was to station a
man by each melon from the time it
was the size of hens egg until it
ripened. This was expensive, but the
result was always gratifying. As the
fruit grew in size and approached
ripeness, the speaker had sometimes
found it necessary to station two
guards over each melon, and even
then, in communities where a too
great tondness for these luscious pro
ducts existed, he had known of the
insides of large watermelon being
stolen and devoured when two men
with clubs were seated on a shell or
rind, engaged in familiar conversation.

TRUlrHEUL SmLE.-Have you ever
watched an icicle as it formed ? You
noticed how it froze one drop at
time until it was a foot or more long.
If the water was clear the icicle re-
mained clear, and sparkled brightly in
the sun, but il the water was but
slightly muddy the icicle looked foul
and its beauty was spoiled. Just so
our characters are forming-one little
thought or feeling at times adds its
influence. If each thought be pure
and right the soul will be lovely and
sparkle with happiness, but if impure
and wrong there will be final deformi-
ty and wretchedness.

adverse criticisms on himself.
5. Tell him when he calls what a

used to drop in for an hours chat, and
how much you liked them.
6, Never attend the prayer-meet-

should you be righteous overmuch ?

Finding that the child persisted in
her interrogatories, despite the mild

to make clean breast of the matter,
and have it over at once.
So he said, with a calmness which
was the result of q volley of inward
expletives, "well we don't live to-
gether. We think as we can't agree
we had better not"
He stihed a groan as the child be-
gan again, and darted an exasperated
look at her parents.
But the little torment would not be
quieted till she exclaimed; "Cant

retorted the visitor, after spa and

Queen Victoria was at Balmoral,
