FAILURES In 1S74.---The Mercantile
Agency, Dun, Barlow & Co., announces that
duiing the past year there We're $3.50 failures
in the United States, the liabilities amount
ing to $i53, 239, 900. In tho three previous
years the failures were as follows 1878,
failures 5, 1873, liabilities, $685. 400, 600; 1872,
1908, $l2i, 056, 900; 1871, s,9l5, $50, 1872 000
The noticeable feature in the statement is
that, while the number of failures exceeds
that Of last year, there is a marked diminution
in the amount of liabilities Two causes are
assignable for this viz First, that the
panic of 1878 caused the failure Of an unusual
number of large houses thus raising very
much the average amount of liabilities over
all previous years. Second, that the volume
of business has been greatly diminished dur
i . 1874, so that, when failure did occur, the
liabilities were comparatively light; and
further, that the houses which succumbed
during the year were ia great degree a
smaller class Of traders than those Of 1878.

STANDARD r,RboR PLANTS.

Among all the woody plants that are
desirable for psrlOr adornment, there are
none 50 easy of culture, aud so patient
under neglect as the Daphne odcrata.
Its sweet clusters of pink and white flow
ers, mingled with It's glossy, bright green
leaves, greatly resembling the laurel, are
always beautiful, always admired. To
be sure it Is an old fashioned flower. Our
grandmOthers delighted in its culture, and
no collection Of plants was in their time
deemed complete without it, but its beauty
and attractiveness give it claims upon all
lovers Of house plants. 1t strikes root
very readily in yials Of water, hung IN
the window, and when the white 6brous
roots have nearly filled the vial tnrn out
\ portion Of the water and then carefully
put in a little rich dry compost, filling
the bottle completely. Break the bottle
and keep the soil tightly arc und the roots,
then plant il in a six inch rot, filled with
thoroughly decayed stable ,sfuse, garden
loan and few spoonfuls &C sand. Put
= lumber over the cutting for few weeks
to keep the air moist, and it will grow
finely. Old plants, after flo vering, should
be pruned back into good shape, as their
natural growth is struggling, then re-pot
them in rich compost, AMI keep in the
shade until September. Take into the
house, place in a bright sunny window,
and keep the leaves we'll spORged with
warm water, also give the roots a good
supply Of it, and by Januar or February
it will be in full bloom.-lIelr England

Effects Of Fodder Corn upon
Land.

+ Ii was held in the discussion ~ the re-
cen, State Fair 81 Rochester that corn in
orchards was An advantage, owing TO the
cultivation which the and received and
il was further mentioned in the remarks
ELECTED, that corn sown for fodder, in
which case there were no ears 10 draw
substance from the soil, improved rather
than depleted the land, by the vegetable
matter which the roots furnished the soil.
This Is on the principle that land i'm
proves By grazing. The grass is fed of
, without going to seed. The cases are
parallel, as corn IS grass. 1t is encOur-
aging 10 those who grow corn for fodder
that this is so. Good crops can thus be
realized for feeding green during the sum.
mer; or, if not all needed, saved for win
ter feed. the land remaining the same, or
better fitted for other equally good or SUI
perior crops. Clover is still more bene-
fetal to land. The two should be more
grown. especially for the purpose of feed
ing in drought, or when the grass be-
comes rank and hard, and also as feed
during the hot days, particularly the hot
moons, when cows should be put up or
have access TO shade, and then fed. Cows
giving milk should be thus treated. as ex-
posure to the hot sun begets fever, and
the effect is communicated to the milk
Country Gentleman.
II seems to US that it would be much
more encouraging to those who grow corn
fodder and clover, if this were true,
which we very much doubt. Do plants
take nothing from the soil, until the seeds
begin to develop? Corn, clover or grass
allowed to rot on the ground where they
grow, will undoubtedly enrich the land,
and if fed to animals, and the manure re-
turned TO the soil, the result would be the
same but that land can be cropped year
after year, with grass, clover or corn tod-
der cut before going to seed, either in an
orchard, pasture or moving field, We do
not believe.-Nst0 England Farmer.

You can all number one of such i'll
among your acquaintances. He seems
to have some magical attachment fol
that small space of this rolling ball upon
which he chances to plant his form. He
fingers down town, he fingers up town
he takes possession Of church vestibules
of street corners. Be il rain or shine
dew or hail, he leans against a wall with
both hands thrust into his pockets, hal
tilted over his nose Oust like the present
style for young ladies', and out-lingers
the most lingering. He sometimes ap.
pears in the form Of youth in good
society, and woe to the poor girl who I:
so unfortunate as TO secure an occasional
visit. 1t ends in visitation scarcely to
be endured.
Ten o'clock comes, still he fingers,
Notwithstanding sundry coughs OH the
part of amiable paterfamilias, and a
| warming drop of her shoe by mater
familias i'm the room above. Eleven
o'clock chimes-no signs of departure.
Young lady fidgets i'm her chair, glances
ostentatiously at her watch; remarks on
the beauty of the night without, and on
the facility of pedestrianizing. No stir
OH the part of the lingerer. Young lady
grows desperate, gets up and pokes the
fire; wonders if il will need covering
shuts the piano, arranges the furniture,
and then stands waiting, mot among
the golden sheaves," but by the parlor
door. AT length, after few more such
gentle undemOnstrative hints, the youth
arises slowly. Young lady's spirits rise
with the yolubility of ether. She talks
cheerfully, and the youth, thus eneour-
aged, reseats himself In an easy position
while the young lady pulls the curl out
of the poodle fringe on her forehead,
yawns audibly and feels very much in
clined TO say ''darn."
Happily for the good example of the
fair sex, she represses the wicked word ,
and contents herself by looking as stupid
as possible. Then he starts up once
more, and again the young lady's spirits
ri ;e, this time not so rapidly as before,
but actually-yes he does reach for his
coat. He fingers five minutes over the
operation of putting two arms into
sleeves; then three minutes over his
hat. Then he talks ten minutes with
the front door open and a cold stream
of air rushing in. After the door is
closed, he stands with his hand on the
knob until he hears the bolt glide into
the socket; then mirdtiie dictui he goes
just as the bell chimes twelve; while
the young lady hastily puts out the
lights for fear he may return and linger.
We verify believe if he were invited into
heaven, he would stand at the half open
portal, parleying with the angel until
the time was past and the door was
closed.
