RED CLovER.-A correspondent says
he has ascertained by fifty-four years
farm experience that red clover is the
basis of all permanent improvement on
Sothern lands. If plaster acts well it
should be plentifully supplied to the
clovered lands, and he never knew
good clover lay that did not make
good crop of wheat. Clover is manure
both above and under the surface: the
roots are large, run deep, and bring up
plant food from the subsoil that has
been washed in below the reach of Or
dinary plants. Clover, according TO
Voelecker, fixes nitrogen in the soil
during every stage of its groweth, and
nitrogen is the specific manure for the
wheat crop. A good crop of clover
has been estimated as the equivalent
for twenty loads of ordinary yard
manure for an acre OF land. Plaster does
not always benefit the wheat, but it
helps the clover. 1t is true that clover
is lime plant that does best on the fos-
siliferous limestone lands. A New York
farmer has some fields that have been
cropped more than fifty years with no
other manure than clover and plaste.
He says a crop of corn raised on clo-
YER lay needs but little hoeing, if the
cultiyator is used to keep the surface
open to the light showers and dew.

HOW TO GET RICH.

He had saved few hundred dollars
before he was twenty-five years old, at
which time he bought a farm, paying
for what he had, and then finding that
he spent too mach time in cooking he
married strong, healthy woman, leav-
ing the bayfield, An hour and half to
have the ceremony performed, when he
returned to his work, and his wife went
into the kitchen to get dinner. OF
course they could not afford bridal
trip nor anything of the kind, nor could
they afford to have children and they
lived forty years blessed with health,
working all day long, wet or dry out
doors and in. Churning, wood-sawing
and shelling corn were done after dark.
They always had apple sauce and
never wanted butter; salt pork answered
instead of beef or fish; potatoes instead
of eggs; and if they thought they need
ed doctoring they drank thoroughwort
and catnip tea, and soaked there feet in
warm water. Of books they had no
mead, because they had no time te read,
thsngh they made out to read the tracts
given them, SO that nothing might be
lost They never attended church, be-
cause they had money which they could
worship, and they could not afford to
give to the poor some day. For quar-
ter of centure he hauled hay twenty
miles to maket, getting $S to slO ton,
all of which was saved, since he carried
his victuals in a round box, aud bed
clothes, 80 that he could sleep in the
wagon.
Ten years ago he was sixty years old
and he was so crippled in various ways
with hard work, having various veins
and ruptures and some other little things,
and their farm which had become the
best in the county, was sold, bringing
over $4,000, and this with there extra
stocks made up value of over $50, 900,
all of which was put into Government
bonds, and then they were making
money faster than ever. He bought q
small place of twenty acres Of choice
land, which they worked to the best
advantage, keeping cows, hogs and
poultry. He is now seventy. They rise
every day at 4 o'clock, when be goes
to work, allowing himself halt an hour
at noon, returns from work at dark,
milks, feeds the hogs, chuTns, shells corn,
and pursues the even tenor of his way.
In every particular she is bis mate, the
house is neat and comfortable, no little
children to put things ont of order, Wis
itors seldom appear, but if they do the
food is extra; almost as good as they
have at home.-Now, the shadows are
falling; the light oflife begins to glim
mer, but they are rich, and why should
they not be happy! But there is one
drawback. What IS to become of their
money?-M.w York Tribune.

The Beecher TriaI-MOre Witnessea
Examined.

BROOKLYN, April 22,-The court
room of the Beecher trial is not so
crowded to-day, the interest In the pro-
cecdings being diminished with the re-
tirement of Mr.. Beecher from the
stand. Contrary to expectations
Beecher and wife were present at the
opening of the court. II. o. Armour.
of the New York Produce Exchange,
was the first witness called. He testi-
ded to a conversation with Moulton
last November about this trial; Moul-
ton wanted to show witness paper to
convince him that his (Moulton's) con.
duct in the scandal was just and pro.
per, witness refused to hear him or sec
the documents; Moulton met witness
another time and wished visit
from witness to his house; witness
finally told Moulton he would
have nothing more to do with him and
would not believe him under oath
Moulton became angry and said "l'l
J make it hotter than hell for you Of
anybody else who testifics agains
me-"
A discussion between counsel fol
lowed, and the judge finally decided
the evidence admissible.

How ST. Paul Looked.

Some wears since the pastor of New
England village church adopted u plan
to Interest the members of his flock in
the study of the Bible. 1t was this:-At
She Wednesday evening meeting he
would give out some topic to be discuss
ed ON the ensuing week, thus giving a
week for them to study up. One week
tn. subject was st. Paul. After tue
preliminary devotional exercises, the
pastor called upon the deacons to speak
TO the question" One Immediately ar.

ppearance of the great Apostle to the
Gontiles. He said St Paul was tall;

NEUR1LGIA.

GUY Thorpe, of this city, is just re-
covering from an attack of acute neu-
ralgia. Fo merly he was quite pretty
but he is so no longer. When the neu-
ralgia strdck him, and he was clipping
his hands, now upon his right ear and
now upon his left, then dropping his
ears to nurse his jaws and rock to and
fro, his wife and a half dozen lady ac'
ouaintances, who know all about neu'
ralgia, became physicians to poor Guy
and began prescribing for him. They
bathed his head and face in chloroforin
which proved to be like fire TO his flesh
and when he still howled and hiade
frantic grabs at the pain wherever 1t
made itself manifest-whether In Jaw,
eve, ear, nose or temple-they tackled
that spot with iodine and and b small
brush and painted it. When they
could find no new places to paint they
vanished his face over with coilodiel
then they had done all they could think
of that was good for neuralgia. ffe'
sently the cheeks and in fact the whole
fl ce of the patient began to swell at
| frlghtful rate. AS the swelling in his
face increased his eyes gradually re-
cec ded, until each looked like the win
dow in the back end of ten-pin alley.
The skin new began to crack open in
the places where the iodine had been
applied, SO, in order to keep out the
cold, the ladies applied little tufts OF
cotton to each ear. Before this he bori
striking resemblance to the "spottct
boy" exhibited here last summer, hu
