A POTENT CURSE. The Boston
Transcript says that strange story
comes from Hamilton, Mass, about
the "Bleeders," as they are called,
of that town, family whose mem.
bers almost invariably die Of bleed.
ing. The legend connected with it
is that in Salem witchcraft times q
sea captain brought his wife and
little girl to town, leaving them with
a Spanish nurse, who was a quick
tempered woman, and being annoy
ed by the peevishuess of the child,
deliberately bled her to death by
opening vein in her arm at inter-
walls, threatening her meanwhile
with insLat death if she told. The
mother, after the death of the child,
found out the cause, and fell into
decline, cursing, with her latest
breath, her child's murderer, and
predicting the same death to all her
male descendants. An elderly wo.
man who lives in the town is Guot.
ed as saying that, to her knowledge,
five sons have met their deaths by
bleeding, one by bleeding at the
nose, and the others by wounds
which appeared slight, but which
no efforts of the physicians could
close.

The Piano Tuners Story.

"You are pair of precious young
fools, and that's the best 1 can find
to say about you!' said Aunt
George.
Her name was Miss Georgianna
Anderson; but the sweet abbrevia
tion "Georgie" was never used to
her; as soon might one think OF
venturing on familiarities with a
bishop! Everybody called hel
'Aunt George; )" and, as she walk
ed with measured, heavy tread, like
a grenadier, the name didn't seem
at all inappropriate.
She was Lizzie's Aunt George
not mine. And she had brought
Lizzie up in her queer, downright
fashion, never giving her kiss or a
caress or an endearing word, yet
withal being kind to her after her
own way.

Anderson to you as she really was.
A little, dimpled, blue. eyed crea

shy way of looking at you, like IL
child; a girl whose voice was low
and tute-sweet, and who moved
about quietly and noiselessly, like a
sweet spring wind rustling the flow-
ers. And only eighteen, too; that
was what aggravated Aunt George
the most of all.

CUTTING GRAIN EARLY.-So
long as the plant is alive, even
after it apparently stops growing
it draws upon the soil for more ash
constituents, particularly the
phOsphates. When grain is cut
early but not to soon, the kernels
fill out and ripen, taking the phos,
pilates, &C., they require from those
already absorbed by the plant.
Hence, it is less exhausting to the
land to cut early than after grain
is fully matured. Practically, this
fact is most valuable in indicating
our treatment to corn and of oats
both of which, cut up green, will
ripen their grain, while the haulm
is better fodder and much more
relished by stock than when it
stands until the grain is fully ma
tured.-N. Y. Tribune. .

FREEMASONRY IN ENGLAND.
There are two influences combined
in England just now to make Free
masonary very prosperous in that
country. One is the bitter OppOsi-
tiOn developed against it in the
Catholic Church, and shown in an
especial manner by the apostate
from the Order, the Pope of Rome.
The Order is attacked in the most
il,judged manner by Catholic wri.
;ers who either know little about it.
or are guilty of willtully misrepre-
senting it. AS a result Protestants,
who hate and fear Rome, get good
impressions OF that body which

deplorable washing day may be to
the household (and the careful
house mistress or tidy maid has it
in her power to greatly modify it's
,iiscomforts), to the garden it is u
very bountiful day. Our hungry
and thirsty grape vines and flow
rrs are glad of every drop of wash
water, and will repay every bit Of
fatigue it may cost us to give them
this fertilizer. If the sun is shining
hot when we go out to dispense our
favor, it is best for us to dig slight
trench not far from the root of the
plant, and pour the water into it,
aud cover again with the top soil.
This makes the water go farther,
and at the same time does not
tempt the rOOtlets to the surface of
