The Danger OF Idleness.

An exchange says The great scar
city of employment at present existing
while q serious matter for consideration
in it's connection with political ecOno-
my, has also a moral aspect of more in
terest, perhaps, than is generally re-
allied. The line in the Sunday-schoOl
hymn to the effect that Satan finds mis-
chief for idle hands to do is not a mere
nursery rhyme, but a fact which, just
now, is receiving it's verification. 1t is
frequently remarked by people who
have knowledge of what they say, that
enforced idleness is leading many young
men, laborers and mechanics, into
habits from which they were entirely
free when in work. Aimless, and in
many cases discouraged at the lack of
employment, they loaf about il public
places, form undesirable acquaiutances,
drift into saloons, aud frequently, with
a desperate hope that the wheel of
chance may turn in their favor, enter
the lair of the gambler and stake the
little they may possess upon the turn
of a card or the throw of the dice. To
be sure all this indicates a sad def
cheney in moral stamina, but the fact
remains that what in such cases has ex-
character of some of our laboring men
is the need of healthful and remunera-
tive employment. How this need is to
be met and the social danger obviated
is a question worthy of deep and ear.

That the times are full of demora!iza-

person. The question of how to supply

difficult one, but one that can be met.
1t may be met partially by the deter
mined refusal to besto 2 charity when
there is ability to work. The man or
woman who is able to perform labor
should be made to do it before receiv-
ing help, aims being steadily withheld
from such. Perhaps it is true that
there is too much giving in one way and
too little in another. A perfect system
of charity would embrace the idea of
making those able to labor work for the
benefit of those who are unable. Thus
a dollar might be made SO do double
duty. This, however, is but one phase
of the question. How to employ the
masses is a broader phase, with which

Edmond About and Bismarck.

Mr., Edmond About has written q
fiery article against Prince Bismarck.
which he begins with the prophecy that
we shall soon see the great powers of
the world at war with each other; on
the one side will be Bismarck and his
KrUpp guns" and on the other the
conscience and liberty of the human
race" His reasons for thus predicting,
he gives as follows prince Bismarck,
following his go ahead policy, has come
into contact with the liberty of con-
science-that is to say, with principle
that is admitted in nearly the whole of
cOntempOraneous Europe. This irwin
chile man has declared a vendetta
against Roman Catholicism, which
still reckOns one hundred millions of
adherents in the various countries of
the Old World. All opinions, good or
bad, right or wrong, are allowed to be
expressed almost everywhere in liberty
by means of the press. The press is
free in England, Austria, Italy, Switzer-
land and BelgIum-in states armed for
defense and in small neutral countries.
which are like buffers placed by
diplomats between the great powers.
Now, NJ. de Bismarck, who can do
every thing and doubts of nothing, is
about to decree a new right of nations,
in virtue of which he would be
the censor of the European press, and
all governments would be called on
either to make war against t, cir own
subjects or suffer the rigors OF
Prussia"

L0CH MESS.
BY DAVID G. ADEE.


The waves rolls out and the waves rolls in
List to its din !!
But the broken keel on the rugged shore
Tells story of ruin and wreck once more,
As it ever has been.
The surf breaks white on the rough, black rock
Hark to the shock
But the boatman who held the PROV to the spray
When the morning beckoEed the night away
Lies deep in the loch.
The tide sweeps close to the guide #ifes feet
"a, Fear h6r gieet
BIT the waters Will never wash back again
The smile and the kiss and the love they have slaiI
Though forever they beat.
The whitecaps sparkled blithesome and gay,
In foam and spray;
But one heart never from sleep awoke,
And the other in silence and sorrow broke,
Aas the day
And the wave, and the surf, and the tide Still
throng
And moan their song,
As the mOurnful story their music tells
In every sigh Of the wild wind svells,
And walls along.

A Wonderful Retention Of Heat In a
Mine,

The Virginia City Enterprise says 4:
On the Sd of October last, about two
o'clock in the afternoon, the large new
air-shaft in the Belcher mine, then COM
pleted to the !, 000-foot level. took fire
and was destroyed. The timbers OF the
shaft all burnt out, and the rock fell to
and blocked it up. After mature deIib-
Grafton it was thought that it would be
better and cheaper to sink new shaft
than to try to clear out the old one, so
badly were its sides caved and SO great
was the quantity of rock that had tum-
bled into 1t. The new shaft was sunk a
short distance to the west of the old
one. 1t has now reached a point near
the l ,OOO-fUOt level where it will be con-
tinued down on al incline. The incline
was started at the 1,00O-foot levI. and
carried up to meet the vertical portion
of the shaft. The course of this incline
carried it through the remains of the
old vertical shaft, but as soon as it was
Tapped the men found thew couId do

burnt earth and rocks that poured down
into their incline. A tunnel was then
run until it had reached a point a short
distance west of the old shafts when q
vertical upraise was made on the line OF
the incline, to be run up to meet the
new shaft. The men then began work
ing down on the incline in order to
reach the point from which they were
driven in trying to come up. They
have succeeded in getting into the bot
tom Of the old shaft, where, much to
their surprise, they find the rock still
red hot. In trying to put in timbers
they were set on fire, and in order to
work at all it is found necessary to
bring line of hose into the place and
play q stream of water on the rocks
wedged in the bottom of the old shift
There is no timber on fire among the
rocks. They seem to have been heated
to degree so intense at the time of the
fire that they have remained red hot
ever since. When we find so small a
mass of rocks as can be contained in
the bottom of a shaft remaining red hot
for over five months after having been
heated to whiteness, should we be in
credulous on being assured by scientists
that the center of the earth, once
molten mass of rocks, still remains IN a
molten state after untold ages.

PRUNING, NPPNG AND TOP DRESSING
The orchard and fruit garden require
watchful attention during the present
month. 3uckers, which will appear
| near the collar or crown of the roots,
must be pulled off, and all too Iuxurient
| shoots nipped back, to make the growth
uniform and keep the head in good
| shape. A little attention to this will
save the trouble of severe CUTTING back
next winter. If the trees have set too
much fruit, it will pay we'll to thin it
| it out. Grape vines require similar
attentions. Keep the strawberry run
Ders cut off, and if it be desired to
lengthen the fruit1ng season; mulch and
water the plants, They can be kept in
| bearing a long time by these means
| Young orange trees and banana plants
should have tOp-dressing of manure
and be well mulched, applying both
| just after a heavy rain.
A GOOD COMPOST FOR FOTTEB PLANTS.
A good compost for geraniums, ca
| mellias, roses, and most of the more
common house plants may be made of
| the following ingredients, in the pro.
| portion here given
One part clean sharp sand, free from
salt.
One part mold from perfectly decayed
leaves.
One part COW manure, well rotted and
pulverized.
Two part rich garden soil, or, better,
| well decayed turf mold.
About one fifth of the pot may be
filled with the drainage materials, viz ::
| broken bits of pots, charcoal or oyster
shells. If g little moss is placed over
| these, it will prevent the earth washing
through.
THE .NoRTHwARD PROGRESS OF SUMMER.
Some interesting contributions to
climatology, the Canada Farmer says,
| have been made by NJ. Hoffman,, dur
ing journey through Italy. He found
from numerous data, that difference
of latitude Of one degree corresponds,
| In general, to an acceleratIon or retarda-
ton of the development of vegetation
about three days and three quarters.
NJ. Hoffman considered twelve different
plants, which, growing at railway sta
tions, were specially suitable for the
| investigation. The generally received
notion on the American continent is that
summer advances northward in steps of
about twelve miles day; and we have
seen numerous and fowery editorial
statements of the fact. M. Hoffmann's
observations tend to show that, in in
Europe, summer gets northward more
quickly than it does here by four miles
a day.-RltrGL C0rOIjaiGn.

The Trade in Hair.

4 writer says The immense expan-
sion for the trade in HAIR during recent
years is scarcely conceivable. At the
beginning OF the present century it was
considered a disgrace to wear false hair
To-day the detestable fashion has ex-
tended even to the most paltry village.
As late rs the year 1850 one pound of
hair cost francs. Scarcely had the
empress Eugenie attained the imperial
dignity than The price rose to 8 francs
aud 10 francs per pound. In the year
1865 the fashion grew into an epidemic,
aud spread beyond the boundaries of
France. The German young ladies for
sock the national custom Of long and
beautiful plaits IN order, like their
French sisters, to burden their heads
With steeples of hair. In 1856 the
price rose to % francs, and in 1867 to
- francs, in 1868 to IS francs, and in
1870 to 55 francs per pound. This last
Is the price of "unprepaUed hair
50 prepared " costs double and treble as
mrcr. TIE finest hair comes from the
leads OF the dead women of Brittany
and Auvergne. When, n either of
these Flaces, a girl or woman of middle
sge dies, the hair is cut off and turned
into money The hair of the living,
however, fetches better price, and some
ti:aes blonde maidens receive as much
as 800 or >, 600 francs for their tresses.
Since the war the ladies have moder-
ated their demands and regarded with
less favor this hateful fashion, to which
the phE, icians, attribute so many ner-
vous disorders and brain fevers.
