widow -

Winter-kept apples, seasoned wine
a clouded meershaum, vase around
which the scent of the rose still
hangs, all these have rare, ripe, en-
vanescent flavor that suggests, but can
not express, the charm of widowhood.
\ young widow is, perhaps the most
interesting object in nature-or in art.
She represents experience without its
wrinkles or its gray hair. She has
matronly beauty and maidenly freedom
combined. She is grief with laughing
sorrow in house of festival-a silver
moon in sable cloud. She is too sweet
for anything! Like all good things,
she can only be created at great sacri-
flee. Mrs Browning says that you must
spoil a man, and he must be pretty tho
roughly spoiled before he can leave
widow. This black swan-this mourn
full Phenix-rises only out of the fun
eral urn that holds the ashes of hus-
bands hearti Let us wipe away the
briny tears and proceed. Poets, states
men, heroes, and philosophers have all
felt the indefinite influence of widow
hood. Its quality is not strained. 1t
falls alike upon the just and the unjust.
None can escape it. Edward Plantage-
net welded the widow, Elizabeth Grey,
though he knew she brought civil war
for dOwry. Ned Waller, Joe Addison,
sam johnson. George Washington, Ma
poleon Bonaparte, John Wesley, Tony
Weller, Ben Disraeli, and all the boys,
married widows. Henry VII. was so
fond of them that he married two: and
King David was so pleased with Abigail
the widow of Nabal, whom he took to
wife, that he turned Bathsheba into a
widow on purpose TO marry her. When

whichever she goes for. When the old
widow Naomi counsels the young Wild

harvest fields Of her kinsman, and

Consumption can be CuredI

ScHENCK's PULMoNIc SYRUP.
SCHENCK's SEA WEED Tonic,
ScHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that Will cure
Pulmonary Consumption.
Frequently medicines that Will stop
cough will occasion the death OF the
patient; they lock up the liver, stop
the circulation of the blood, hemorr-
mage follows, and i'm fact. they clog the
action Of the very organs that caused
the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are
the causes of two-thirds OF the cases OF
Consumption. Many persons complain
of dull pain in the side, constipation,
coated tongue, pain in the shoulder
blade, feelings of drowsiness ana rest
lessness, the food lying heavily on the
stomach, accompanied with acidity aud
belching up of wind.
tI.n symptoms usually originate
from a disordered condition of the sto-
mach or a torpid liver.
Persons so-affected, If they take one
or two heavy colds. and if the cough IN
these cases be suddenly checked, Will
find the stomach and liver clogged, re-
naming torpid and inactive, and almost
before they are aware the lungs are a
mass of sores, and liberated, the result
of which is death.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an ex-
pectorant which does not contain opium
or anything calculated to check cough
suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissOlves
the food, mixes with the gastric juices
of the stomach, aids digestion, and ere
ates a ravenous appetite.

bilious tendency, Schenck's Mandrake

SIumberIng Plants.

1t is well known that plants sleep at
night; but their hours of sleeping are a
matter of habit, and may be disturbed
artiticially, just as cock may be walked
up to crow at untimely hours by the
light of a lantern. A French chemist
subjected sensitive plant to an ex-
ceedingly trying course of discipline by
completely changing its hours-expO-
sing it TO a bright light at night, SO as
TO prevent sleep, and putting it in a
dark room during the day. The plant
appeared to be much pDzzled and dis
turbed at first. Ii opened and closed
its leaves irregularly. sometimes nod
ding. in spite of the artificial sun that
shed its beams at midnight, and some
times waking up, from the force of
habit, to find the chamber dark in spite
of the time of day. Such are the tram
mels of use and wont. But, after an
obvious struggle, the plant submitted
to the change, and turned day into
night, without any apparent i'll effects.

american Nickel .NiRes.-The nickel
deposit near the Gap, Lancastercounty,
Pa, is considered the largest yet dis
covered in the world, and the only de-
posit of the ore worked in America.
The mine is on the high dividing line
between Chester and Pequea Valleys
Besides nickel, copper, iron. and lime
stone are found in the same locality.
Nickel was discovered here about the
year 1856, though copper, which is ia
ken from the same mine, was known In
the same locality seventy years ago.
The ore has gray color, is very heavy,
and SO hard that it is mined entirely by
blasting. After the ore has been
broken into small fragments, it is put
into kilns holding eighty or ninety
tons each. and subjected to heat pro-
duced at first by the burning of a small
quantity of wood, and continued by
the conversion of the expelled gas. 1t
is then put into a smelling furnace, and
undergOes treatment similar to that
of iron ore.

Carbon Bisulphide as an Antiseptic.-
Herr z. Zoeiler publishes the statement
that, in an atmosphere containing a
small quantity of the vapOr Of blsul-
phids. animal and vegetable matters
are effectuaily preserved against de-
composition or putrefactiOn.
The author atfirms that a few drops
of this substance Is sufficient for the
purpose; and since it volatilizes at or
dinary temperatures, the employment
of heat is rendered unnecessary. In
this manner, he adds, bread, vegeta-
bles, fruit of every kind (and fruit
juices), and meat may be preserved for
a considerable time in closed vessels.
Upon opening the vessels, the uDpleas-
ant odor of the bi,ulphide Is very ap-
parent; but upon airing the substances
treated for few minutes, 1t disappears
entirely by vOlatiliZatiOn. In the case
of meats. the flesh, after having been

Evils of Gossip

have known country society which
has withered away all to nothing under
the ro1t of dry gossip. Friendship once
as firm as granite dissolved to jelly, and
then ran away to water, only because
of this: love, that promised future as
enduring as heaven, and as stable as
Truth, evaporated into morning mist
that turned into days long tears. only
because of this; father and son were
set foot to foot with the fiery breath of
an anger that would never get cool
again between them; and a husband
and his young wife, each staining at
the heated leash which in the begin
ming had been the golden bandage of
a GOd-blessed love, sat mournfully
by the grave where all their love
and all their joy lay buried, and
all because of this. have seen faith
give place to mean doubt, joy give
place 10 grim despair, and charity give
lpace to the features of black malevo-
lence, all because of the small words

gossip. Great crimes work great
wrongs, and deeper tragedies of human
life spring from the larger passions;
but woeful and most mOurnful are the
uncatalogued tragedies that issue from
gossip and detraction; most mOurnful
is the shipwreck often made of noble
natures and lovely lives often made by
the bitter winds and dead salt waters of
SANDER. So easy to say-yet so hard
to omisprove-throwing on the innocent
all the burden and all the strain of de-
monstrating their innocence, and pun
ishing them as guilty if unable TO pluck
out the stings they cannot see, and to
silence words they cannot hear-gossip
and SANDER are the cruelest and deadli-'
est weapons man has ever forged for
his brothers heart.

The FEEDING VALUE OF RooTs.-A
bushel of carrots to feed to a horse is
worth from half to two-rhirds as much
as bushel of oats; and when we con-
slider that a thousand bushels of car
rots can in some cases be grown on an
acre of land, and five hundred bushels
ordinarily, farmers should always grow
a few hundred bushels for their horses
and cows, being the best root that can
be given to them. Sugar beets come
next in value, and they are worth to
feed to cows about one-siXth their
weight In corn meal. Turnips are
worth about one-eighth their weight of
corn meal, and all help to winter stock
cheaply, and In good condition The
farmer who enters upon winter feed
ing with no roots has made a serious
mistake in his judgment. 1t is rather
troublesome in some cases to weed out
root crops; but when the land has been
manured heavily the previous year,
aud cultivated in some hoed crops, with
a view of growing roots on it the fol-
lowing season, keeping the weeds thor
oughly subdued, there is no trouble in
growing a good crop without much
labor in wedding.

FFvER AND AGUE CURE.-1he COM
munists of the wallingford, Conn. COM
munity have discovered a very simple
remedy for fever and ague. For some
years past this disease has been so pre-
valent in the region that, two years ago
the communists seriously thought of
abandoning their property and flourish
ing business in that place. But the
idea was suggested of trying a heated
stove in small room, including a pro-
fuse perspiration, followed by sham
pooling and thorough cleansing of the
body, with both warm and cold water;
and these simple means were found to
be thorough effective remedy. Not
only the communists themselves, but
the people of the entire region round
about have resorted to the remedy, and
have been thoroughly cured.

Liquid for high IemperGtures.-It is
often necessary to surround the pipes
of heating or evaporating apparatus,
and hot air apparatus. ovens, stoves.
ETC., with a boiling liquid at tempe
nature above 212 deg. Fab; it is also
necessary to make use of water baths
producing high temperatures. The Ii
quid employed for this purpose is
simply water in which sea salt has been
dissolved. Oil baths, etc, are also
used. Messrs. Grimm and Corvin pro-
pose, instead of these various agents.
to make solution of chloride of lime
in glycerin, solution which does not
boil below 512 or 626 deg. Fab, and has
the further advantages of never at
tacking metals nor congealing.

TURNING IN CLovER.-I once had a
very poor, exhausted lot come into my
possession the field was naturally good
but run down. 1t was under the plough
the wear before. l sowed it to oats and
stocked thoroughly with the large kind
of clover with the oats. The oats grew
only about six inches high, but there
was an excellent catch aBd growth of
clover. The next season the clover
stood thick and high. sent the har-
row ahead of the plough, exactly as
wanted to plough and not much faster.
When the harrow came round, l took
my bag of Nova Scotia plaster, and
sowed one cast at the rate of three
bushels TO the acre, then followed with
the plough, about seven inches deep,
until the field was finished. The clover
was in blossom. In August l narrowed
it thoroughly and sowed 10 rye. had
an excellent crop Of rye, and have
never failed to get good crop on the
field since, except in a small corner,
which was too stony to turn the clover
under at the time. All the crops since
have showed the effect of that clover
and plaster. The stones on the whole
field have since been removed, and,
with others, form a handsome fence on
the four sides of the field, and can
now hoe, NOW, or pasture at pleasure.

tFrom the German by Geibel |
THE STILL WATER ROSE.
By CALDWELL

The quiet water lily
Floats on the lakelet blue
Its soft leaves glow and glisten,
Its cup of snowy hue
The fair moon smileth on her
Through all the summer night,
And on her fragrant bosom
Pours all her golden light.
Over the ripping water
Gideth snow-white swan;
He singeth sweet and softly.
The lily gazing on.
He singeth sweet and softly
Thus will his death song flow;
o flower, snow-white flower,
Dost thou its meaning know?

HEELING IN TREEs.-The term ''heel-
ing-in" means the digging of a trench
large enough to hold the roots Of what
ever is to be heeled-in, so that when
covered they will be fully protected.
Then take your tress, or shrubs, and
pack them in the trench at a slight
angle, as close as you can; and when
the work is done the tops of the trees,
&C., will be upon the ground, and may
as before stated, be covered slightly
with hay or straw, If the rays of the
sun are quite powerful. Ali kinds of
trees and shrubs may be kept heeled-in
from October to April or May, and not
be injured in the least; but the trench
must be kept deep enough TO allow all
the roots to 60 down below the surface
of the soil and they should be covered
about foot deep over all, and the earth
well packed among them. l think it
is the best way to manage trees, &C., to
heel them in lceu in October or NOvem-
Der, according to the climate, and set
them in the Spring, as they are often
injured by the frosts of winter, before
the roots have obtained a firm hold on
the soil.
