because there is SO much wickedness in the

sion which generally affords Its first intro
duction into vice. One vice brings another
to its aid, and by a natural affinity they con-
meet and entwine themselves together till
they are firmly and deeply rooted in our very
souls.
How many young persons have started n
life with bright aspirations for the future,
with good desires to be the very best, but
with corrupt influences thrown around them

Cranberry Rot and sCald.

1t has been suggested by several CORES.
pondents of this department that an applica-
ton Of lime to the decaying vegetable mat
ter composing cranberry highlands would in
crease fermentation rather than prevent the
evil, and that the application Of 'some other
substance would probably prove more suIta-
BILE for the purposes required. The action
of lime on cranberry land differs materially
from its action on farming land III general
Cranberry lands vary exceedingly in their
conditions. have found, for example, in
New Jersey undecomposed peat-bogs six
feet thick, charged with sulphuretted hydro.
gen and acetic acids. On such soil cranber-
ry vines grow vigorously, and become heavi-
ly matted. The bloom is plentiful and the
fruit grows in profusion, but under continual
high temperature and drought fermentation
is induced in the berries, and the cranberry
"rot" succeeds. On the other hand, have
found a cranberry plantation having soil
Of we'll decomposed peaty matter six feet
thick, aud free from all disagreeable odor.
Other conditions were also favorable to
high culture, such as a plentiful supply Of
cool water, and cool breeSes during hot
weather.
Other plantations presented conditions en-
tirely different from these. At Pemberton
the cranberry vines are planted mostly in
black sand, soil composed Of pure white
sand and small portion Of peaty matter
amounting to only n per cent Of the latter.
This soil, when sufficiently moist and sub
iected to proper temperature, is quite IA
yorabIe to cranberry growth, aud proves very
profitable; but during long drought and high

What a Woman did.

She was not romantic. Her mother was,

slowed upon her only child, which was,
Desdemona Beatrice. Desdemona Beatrice,
however, was too lofty a name for y-day
use, so she had come to be called Mona ="
by all but her mother.
As have said Mona Atherton was not ro-

practical. With her life up to the date OF
her fathers death, which occurred when she
was seventeen--we have nothing to do. Suf-

both parents, and surrounded with all the
comforts of life and many of its luxuries
Albert Atherton had owned the village dry.
goods store, for ten years previous to his
death, and was supposed by his family and
friends to be in comfortable circumstances.
They discovered their mistake on settling up
his affairs, for all that was left to Mrs. Athor-
ton was the house they occupied and tho
furniture it contained.
They could not cat the house and furni-
ture, and so the question was, where should
theyprocure food. Mona proposed taking
boarders, but this idea Mrs. Anterior could
not entertain for a moment.

"Then," SAID Mona. " shall go to B. rs

SO in three weeks time she had written to
B. and obtained the situation, sold the
house, purchased another in B., and estab-
lished herself and mother there. You per,
eeive she was "smart as we'll rs practical
She was handy aud obliging in the store
and won the good will of all the clerks. Mr.
Bland promoted her to be cashier with an
increase of salary.
One Tuesday evening, when she had been
in the store about year, rs she was going
out OF the door, she missed her muif. She
went up stairs to the cloak room to see II she
could find 1t. Mr. Bland, going out few
minutes later, supposing all to be gone, lock
ed the door. 1t was dark in the cloak-room
and Il was some time before Mona found hel

thought she had gone home with Mr.. Blanc
to spend the night with Mile rs she some
times did; so she felt no anxiety concerning
her. Mile did not happen to come in that
evening. so the mistake was not discovered,
Mona found after waiting while that She
