A New Agricultural Plant.

A new agricultural plant for cat
tie feeding has been introduced to
public notice by Mr.. William Gorrie,
Raft Lodge, Edinburgh. 1t is va
rety of the tree,mallow, Ldrdter-
arborea, the natural habitsts Of which
in Scotland, are the Bass Rock, with
other lslets in the Firth of Forth,
and Ailsa Craig. It's ordinary height
varies from 6 to10 feet, but it can be
grown to more than II feet 1t is
biennial, but the frat year it may be
planted after the removal of any ear
IL crops and matured the following
wear. Chemical analysis of its seeds
show them to be fully equal in feed
ing properties to oil-cake, which is
now worth in Scotland about $50
per ton, and psper-makers offered
the same price for the bark that they
now pay for esparto grass, which IS
also about $50 per ton. This shows
return OF about $500 per acre, for
the seed and bark. and it is expected
that the excess of fiber in the latter
will allow the heart wood being
mixed up with it, which will add
very considerably to the value of the
crop.

Boys and their Mothers.

Some one has written beautifully to
the boys in the following manner.
Here is whole sermon in a few sem
fences:
OF all the love affairs in the world,
none can surpass the true love of the
the big boy for his mother. 1t is a
pure love and noble, honorable in the
highest degree to both. | do not
mean a dutiful affection. | mean a
love which makes boy gallant and
courteous to his mother, saying to
everybody that he is fairly in love
with her. Next to the love of hus
band, nothing SO CROWDS woman S
lite with honor as this second love,
this devotion of son to her. And /
never yet knew boy to "turn out"
bad who began by falling in love with
his mother. Any man may fall in love
with a fresh-faced girl, and the man
who is gallant to the girl may cruelty
neglect the worn and weary life. But
the boy who is a lover to his mother
in her middle-age, is a true knight
who will love his wife as much in the
sere-leaved autumn as in the daisy
spring time.

Pleasant Paragraphs.

The reputation of man is not
safe until the man is dead and has
no further use for it.
Ii you will add little to little, and
do so repeatedly, it will very quickly
become much.
Some deeds seem little more than
iuterjections WHICH give vent to the
long passions of life.
As riches and favor forsake man,
we find him TO be fool, but nobody
could find it out in his prosperity.
A tart temper never mellows with
age and sharp tongue is the only
edged tool that grows keeaer with
constant use.
The changes of a fevered room
are slow and fiuctuating but the
changes of the fevered world are
rapid and irrevocable.
When you feel that your own
gaiety is counterfeit 1t may justly
lead you to suspect that OF your COM
panions not TO be sincere.
Sorrow for sin is not repentance.
Repentance is a great volume of
duty and godly sorrow is but the
frontispiece or titepage it is the
barbinger or first introduction to it.
1t is with true opinions which one
has the courage to utter as with
pawns first advanced on the chess
board; they may be beaten, but they
have inaugurated game which
must be won.
Despair is like petulsnt child
who, when you take away ono of his
rlaythings, throws the other into
the fire in sheer madness. He grows
angry with himself, becomes bis own
executioner, and revenges bis own
misfortunes on his own head.
Aud there is nothing particularly
new under the sun. II will shine to"
morrow upon pretty much the same
flowers. sports, pastimes, ETC., which
it illustrated yesterday. Aud when
your love-making days are over, and
you are married, ard advantageously
establlshed, shall not your little Sis
tiers, now in the nursery, trot down
and play their little games?
A man entirely bald except little
tuft OF hair at the base of the brain
behind the ears, frequently took of
his hat and scratched his head back
of his ears. A wsggish backwoods-
man thereupon shouted out: 'Siran-
ger, drive EN- up in the clearing, and
you can ketch EN- all in five minutes
The Whitehall Times says: We
saw mosquito work about ten min
utes yesterday, trying to get his
bill through the skin of man who
owes US two years subscription
How we laughed at that demoralized
little insect as, with look of DIS
gust, be folded up his little bill, put
it in his pocket, and went for aneth-
er victim.

Home Life a Hundred Years Ago.

Franklin invented the iron framed
fire place which still bears his name.
All the cooking and warming in
town aud country were done by the
aid Of fire kindled on the brick
hearth or oven. Pine knots or tai
low candles furnished the light fer
the long winter nights, and sanded
floors supplied the pl-ce of rugs and
carpets. The water used for house
hold purposes was drawn from deep
wells by the cranking "sweep." No
form of pump was used in tins

two acres of ground to the average

Honor the Lord with thy sub.

So shall thy barns be filled with

or ruler, provideth her meet in the
summer, and gathereth her food 10

He that gathereth ia the Sum mer

harvest is a son that causeth shame.
The liberal soul shall be made tat,
and he that watereth shall be wa
tered also himself.
He that withholdeth corn the peo-
pie shall curse him ; but blessings
shall be upon the head of him that
selleth it.
He that tiIleth his land shall be
satisfied with bread {; but he that
followeth vain persons is void OF un-
derstanding.
Much food is ia the tillage OF the
poor but there is that is destroyed
for want of judgement.
The sluggard will not plow by
reason of the cold therefore shall
be beg in harvest and have nothing.
Remove not the old landmark,
and enter not into the field of he
