THE VALUE OF GOLD.
BY JOHN BOYLE o'REILLY.

BY JOHN BOYLE O'REnLY.
There may be standard weight for precious
metal,
But deeper meaning it must ever hold;
Thank God, thele are some things no Ia" can
settle. -,
And one of these-the real worth Of gold!
The stamp of king or crown has common
power
To hold the trafiic-value in control,
Our coarser senses note this worth-the
lower;
The higher comes from senses of the SOUL
This truth we find not in mere warehouse
learning
The value Varies with the hands that hold ;
The worth depends upon the mode of earning:
And this mans copper equals that mans
gold.
With empty heart, and forehead lined with
scheming,
Mems sin and sorrow have been that mans
gain;
But this mans heart, with fine emotions teem-
ing,
Makes rich the gold for which he coins his
brain.
But richer still than gold from upright labor
The only gold that should have standard
Is the poor earning of our humble neighbor,
Whose every coin is red with sacrifice.
Mere store of money is not wealth, but rather
The proof Of poverty and need Of bread.
Like men themselves is the bright gold they
gather:
1t may be living, or it may be dead.
1t may be filed with love and life and vigor,
TogttiGc the wearer, and to cheer the way;
1t may be corpse Ike i'll its weight and rigor,
Bending the bearer to his native clay.
There is no comfort but in outward showing
In all the servile homage paid to dross;
Better ~ heart and soul the silent knowing
Our little store has not been gained by loss.

AMERICAN WoMEN.-It is melancholy
fact that American women have degen-
Grated in point of health and physique
until they have become literally a race
of invalids. How sad it is to look
around us and compare the frail and ef-
Terminate looking lady of to-day with the
hale, hearty and buxom ladies of days
gone by. To all such the late discovery
of DIR. WALKER, of California, which is
known as VINEGAR BITTERs, is a price
less boon indeed. For this class of dis
ease it is certain and safe, and any lady,
old or young can take it with entire
confidence il the result, and thus avoid
what to thousands is stumbling block
never overcome, viz: aconsultat' on with
family physician. IT'S true there may
he cases of years standing that will
necessitate more powerful treatment, bu,
in nine cases out Of ten this remedy will
reach the disease, and after little time
effect cure. The number of ladies
cured by it are numbered by thousands,
aud are scattered through every State in
the Union. 26

Do Bees sleep?

A. Pettygrew says on this subject: 1t
has not, we think, been proven that bees
ever sleep. We have never seen one,
either in winter or summer. asleep. Anal
ogy and their very active, industrious
habits would lead to the belief that they
do sleep. When, where and how they
sleep we have hitherto been unable to
discover. In summer they work both
night and day and never seem to tire.
In early life we thought they worked
harder after day of rest-that is to say,
if weather kept all ct home for twenty.
four hours they were recruited in strength
and vigor and worked better the day fol-
lowing. In later years we have consid-
cred that in the absence of outdoor labor
more work was done in the hive. When
weather is favorable and honey album
dant we know that frequently honey is
gathered into hives faster than the in.
door laborers can manage-it accumu-
lates too fast on their hands. The eessa-
ton of outdoor work for q time enables
the bees to remove the accumulations
of honey from the center combs
and store it up in their outer
and upper edges. Thus the domestic
arrangements are advanced and room
made for more honey, and more laborers
are set at liberty to gather it. When
bees have no domestic work to attend
to, as is the case when q swarm is put
into hive of empty combs, they work
prodigiously fast By.and-by the brood
and honey Of such hive require much
attention. Hence, outdoor work activity
seems to abate. But when no bees leave
their hives we have never been fortunate
enough to 6nd one asleep or anything
like it.
In winter bees have few domestic du.
ties to perform and there is NO honey to
gather. But the question of bees sleep
ing or alternating in winter is just as
difficult to answer as that of sleeping in
summer. I know what others say on
this question, but like to read nature
through my own eyes. have examined
hives at all seasons, even when there
were twenty degrees Of frost, and I never
found bee asleep. Still do not say
that they never sleep.

4 Good Way to Raise Beets.

Ny mode Of culture 10 to have the
rows thirty inches and plants eighteen
inches apart in the rows, giving each
plant little less than four square feet.
A good crop will give beets weighing
six pounds each, or thirty.fo tons per
acre, producing one. third more sugar
per acre than the eleven tons Of small
beets usually grown for sugar, and worth
twice as much for feeding, and raised at
half the cost. One ton Of beets contains
24O pounds OF dry matter, nearly a. nu-
tritioas as wheat -four. Land that will
yield fifty bushels of corn (2,000 pounds)
will produce twenty-five tons of beets,
containing 5000 pounds of dry nutri,ive
food. The soil best adapted to the beet
is rich loan, of . clayey rather than a
sandy character. A gravelly or light
sandy soil is unsuitable for either
beet or mangel culture, as is also q
heavy clay soil in Its natural state.
Heavy clay, improved by thorough
drainage, deep fall blowing, and the
surface made light with manure and deep
tillsge, is . soil in which the sugar beet
will give q remunerative crop. Some
of the finest crops have ever seen have
been grown on such y soil. All lands
which are made wet by springs, or
which retain stagnant water ON the sur
face or within reach of the roots of the
beet, should be thoroughly drained.
Although the beet requires large amount
of moisture to carry on healthy and Wig
orous growth, yet but few plants will show
the presence of stagnant water quicker
than the beet. 1t then assumes yellow
ish hue and sickly aspect. It will not
extend downward its usual length, but
on reaching the water will divide into
numerous small fibers, which spread in
all directions, to the grea. injury of the
crop. Hence in the preparation Of most
clay soils thorough drainage is absolutely
necessary. Owing to the early period
at which the beet should be sown it is
important that the work Of preparation
should as much as possible be done in
the fall. All land for beets, except light,
sandy soils, should be piowed in tn:
fall. If ON sitter soil blowing is de-
ferred until spring 1t will turn up q
c!oddy surface, which is difficult to re-
duce and make mellow, and which 10 =
great hindrance to the proper cultivation
Of this crop. Stiff clay soils plowed
in the fall and left with rough surface
are mellowed by the freezing and thaw-
ing and crumbie readily in the spring.
Roots need more thorough preparation
of the land than most of the hoed crops.
The more completely the soil has been
mixed and pulverized, the more readily
will the roots reach their supply of ,od.
1t is good practice, when once the land
is prepared by drainage, removal of
stones and deep tillage, to continue to
raise beets on the same field for success
sive years.-Henry Lane. in N. Y. World.

TIGERS IN INDIA.-Dr. Fayrer thinks il
probable that, on ac,ount of the general dis
arming of the natives after the mutiny, the
number Of tigers has increased rather than di.
minished of late years. Their ravages are GER
tainly appalling. Captain Rogers says that in
Lower Bengal alone, during the six years end
Ing ln 1866, l3,4O0 human beings were killed
by wild animals, while Government reports
state that during the same period and in the
same locality, 4,2lS of the above fell victims to
tigers while 4,2S7 were slaio by wolves. In
the Rangpore district alone, the yearly loss of
life is between IS and 60.
The exploits of individual tigers are even
more remarkable. We read of one tiger which,
10 1867, 1868, 1869, killed respectively 81, "a
and Al people, Onee it killed father, moth
er and three children, within few moments
This dangerous brute killed 81 persons 10 the
week before it was shot. Another tiger de.
stroyed, during 1856, 1857, 1858, an average
Of 80 persons annually. A third tiger 10 1869
slew l27 people, and stopped up public road
for several weeks till killed by British sports
man. So great is the awe which this tyrant of
the jungle inspires that whole villages are some
times deserted and all cultivation stopped. A
Government report Informs US that in the Gen.
trail provinces "a single tigress caused the de-
sertion of thirteen villages, and two hundred
and fifty square miles OF country was thrown
out OF cultivation.
The inhabitants of India, especially the Hin
docs, believe the tiger to be the abode of an
evil spirit, and many would not kill him if they
could, for fear of subsequent mischief. So
great dread 10 some parts of the country is
felt by the peasants of mis- supernatural powers
and malevolent disposition, that thoy either
avoid naming him at all, or speak of him as
the jackall' or the beast" There is almost
universal belief that his flesh, especially bis
heart, if eaten, produces courage and strength.
His whiskers, claws and tangs are also reli.
giously preserved as potent charms.
