ENGLISH IvY.-The use Of English iyies
for the purpose OF decorating living rooms
is more extensive every year, and cannot
be too highly commended. Being very
strong they willlive through any treatment;
study their pocuiIriIieS, and manifest will
ingntss. To g:alify them, aud they will grow
without stint. Most houses are too hot for
them, a., indeed, they are for their owners
Neither plants nor people should have the
temperature over sixty-ive degrees Fab
renheit. Take care not to cnieeble your
iyies by excessive watering or undue heat,
and you will see they will not seem TO
mind whether the sun shines on them or
not, or in what position or direction you
train them. Indeed, so much will they do
themselves to make a room charming, that
we would rather have an unlimited num-
Der of them to draw upon than anything
else in nature or art.
The English ivy growing over the walls
of building, instead of promoting damp
ness, as many persons would suppose, is
said TO be a remedy for il ; and it is men
toned as fact that in room where damp
had prevailed for length of time, tho af-
fecied parts inside had become dry when
ivy bad grown up 10 cover up the opposite
side. The close, overhanging pendant
leaves prevent the rain or moisture from
penetrating the wall. Beauty and utility,
in this case go hand in hand.--Sdnndfidn

THE YANKEE FARMER AND HIS WIFE.
But II they are silent they are not surly,
give them time and they arc amiable
enough, and they are first and last honest.
They do not ask too much for board, and
they show some slow willingness 90 act up
on boarder's suggestions for his greater
comfort. But otherwise they remain un-
affected by the contact. They learn no
greater slibness of tongue, or livelness OF
mind, or grace of manner; if their city
guests bring with them the vices of wine or
beer at dinner and tobacco after it, the
farmers keep themselves uncontaminate.
The only pipe you smell is that of the neigh
boring Irishman as lie passes with his OK
team the gypsying French Canadians, as
they wander southwark, tipsy by whole
families, in their rickety open buggies,
lend the sole bacchanal charm TO the pros
pect tkat 1t knows. These aieof a race whose
indomitable lighl-healtedness no rigor Of
climate has appalled,, whereas our Anglo
Saxon stock in many country neiShbor-
hoods of New England seems weather beat
en- in mind as in face; and this may ac-
count for the greater quick-wittedness OF
the women, whose in-ooor life is more pro-
tecled from The inclemcncy Of our skies.
1t Is certain that they are far reader than
The men, more intelligent, gracious, and
graceful, and with their able connivance
the farmer stays the adversely creeping up
on his class, if he does not retrieve its old
prosperity. In the winter his daughters
teach school and in the summer they help
their mother through her enterprise of tax
ing boardeIs. Tho farm feeds them all,
but from the wUman's labor comes thrice
the ready money that the land ever yields,
aud it is they who keep alive the sense OF
all higher and finer things, Heaven knows
with what heroic patience and devoted en-
deavor. The house shines, through them,
with fresh paper and paint; year by year
they add TO those comforts and meek aspi-
IA lions towards luxury which the summer
guest accepts so lightly when lie comes
smiling askance at the parlor organ in the
corner, and the black walnut-lramed chro-
mo-lithographs on the walls.-W. d.

for the body was costly casket, for that
pendant pigtail had swung from way

was packed an abundance OF little pieces
of paper, all spotted with gold, such as are
seen scattered along the way when the de-
funct Mongoians are carried to the grave.
These prelties are very glittering, and ca
silly blown about by the wind, and are TO
attract The attention Of the Chinese devils
and give the deceased an opportunity to es-

casket was filled with pork, lice. chickens,
candies, etc, upon which the dear depart

his mouth was placed a United States 10

land of civilization, aud as a passport TO
better seats and society over there. Lastly,
he had a fan placed in his hand with which
to cool his heated brow, aud as badge OF
high rank in the land of his early nativity.

a Want Supplied.

The American mind is active. II has
given Us books Of fiction for The sentiment

r. V. PIERCE, of unalo, n. Y.,-and the
advantages derived by him from an extern

perceiTes their want-d knOWted1e OF them
SelUeS-and believing that all truth should

"fron, rayless atom, too diminutive Tor

maturity of those Conscious i'0Wers, the

upon the theory that every fact of mind

an admirable treatise on Cerebral Physi-
ology, and shown the bearings The facts
thus established upon individual and social
welfare. The Author believes with Spen-
Ger, that "as vigorous health and its accom-
panying high spirits are larger elements of
happiness than any other Things whatever,
the teaching how to maintain them is
teaching that yields TO no other whatever"

THE CHINESE AT HoME.-The domestic
aud social life of the Chinese has perhaps,
more features in common with Western
nations than that Of other Oriental peoples.
Although polysamy exists among the
wealthier classes, and thoir women gener-
ally live in seclusion, family life is much
esteemed and cultivated among them. The
first wife has the full control of the house,
hold, while the concubines are little more
than servants and housemaids. The Chinese
illustrate the relation by comparing the wife
to the moon and the concubines 10 the stars,
both Of which, iii their appropriate spheres,
revolve around the sun. The utmost re-
spect ard obedience TO the behests of their
parents are eDjoined to children. The be-
trothmenl of the children is ehtirely in tho
hands OF the parents, and the obligation of
the former TO fulfill the contract made by
the latter is enforced 10y law, even to the
annulling of the agreement made by son
himself in ignorance Of the arrangement of
Of his parents.
Cleanliness Is not among the virtues of
the Chinese, either in regard TO their habl-
latluns or their persons. The poorest peo-
pie do not change their garments until
they are worn out. Their dress is neither
so uniform nor so unchanGing as Is gem
orally supposed. Fashions alter there as
well as elsewhere, but not so rapidly as
among European nations. Ii it were not
for the shaven crown and braided tail of the
men, and the crippled feet Of the women,
little lult could be found with their cos
lume, combining, Us ii does, warmth and
ease. The garments of the sexes differ
more by their colors than by their shape
and cut. Tic diet of tho Chinese is
sufficient in variety, wholesome and
well cooked, though many of theiI
dishes would appear insipld to the
taste Of Europeans and Americans. The
proportion of animal food is smaller among
them than among any other race in the
same ATTITUDES. Cooking is almost esteem
ed as a science in China. The Chinamar
considers tue Englishman's mode of feed
ing tho nearest approach TO that of the saw
ages Of Formosa; "lor," says he, "tht
Englishman does the chief work of thu
slaughter house upon his dinner-iable, ant
he RENTS tho principal work Of the kitchen
TO his stomach"

AT late Dairy Convention at Elgin, ILL.,,
President Faville made the following re-
marks on taking care of cows:
81 am not going into the detail of The
care of dairy cows, but will lay down one
general principle This, think, If carried
out in the nlinuti@, will secure the desired
end. The principle is this: In everything
consult, so far as possible, the comfort OF
the COW. Let all the arrangements that APP
pertain TO her keeping, such as food, drink,
shetert treatment, and general manage
ment, he such as shall tend to her comfort
and quiet then, and not till then, can We
reasonably look for the Lest results. The
question Of feed for the dairy. COW is so i'm
portant that trust you will pardon me FOR
taking time TO urge II upon your attention.
Breed is import 1nt but feed much more 50.
Persons about engaging in dairying look
over the reports from this Association, or
read the reports from some dairy in the ag-
ricutural papers. They see so many cows.
kept, and rom them so much money made,
and they seem to forget all the rest. They
go on and get the required number Of cows,
and when The end Of The year comes they
are obliged TO divide the profits by two, for
the reason that they have not well consider
ed the business in all its detail. Many
men Il will not say darymen) seem TO
think anything is coed enough for a COW.
| Tue warm side of a rail fence good enough

COW.
They seem TO feel that grain fed TO cows
is almost thrown away. The horses and
hogs must have all the grain, and leave the
cows to take care of themselves. These
are, in my opinion, very mistaken notions,
for ii costs only little more 20 keep COW
well than in the manner have described.
Indeed, IL costs only little more TO keep a
/ COW upon grain than upon hay. Example
1t will take Que acre Of good grass TO lur-
nish winter food for COW. The same acre
If planted TO corn and properly cultivated
will not only furnish winter fodder, bu
will furnish grain enough, If fed with Tho
stalks in winter and the paslurage in sum
mer, 10 give us good flow of milk during
the entire milking season, while the hay
would have done little more than SUSAN
the animal life.
The difference of cost, then, in the TIVE
methods Of feeding, is the difference of ex
pense in raising an acre of grass and al
acre of corn. We have the same inveSImen
for land, and ii is only the difference in la
Dor, and when we strike the balance be
tween the cost and profit, we shall find
large balance in favor of the grain.
