BONE DUST ON GRASS LAND.-Dr Nichols

results. AS to the best mode of applica-
tion, We think it about rs useful us a top

is better kept near the surface. A mixture
OF half ashes and half ground bone is very
useful, and if the mixture is allowed to lie
together in bulk few weeks and is kept
moist twill hasten the decomposition of
the bone dust, and when it is applied let
it be on n moist field rather than ON a dry
or upland knoll, though if the season is
tolerably moist and the grass comes up
thckly to shade it, it will do excellent
service in such places.
Ground bone, or bone dust, as it is COM
monty called, is most excellent fertilizer,
also, for plowed land, but here alsu it is
desirable to keep it near the surface. 1t

WHAT THE COUNTY PAPERS Do.-An ex-
change combats with considerable yigor
the argument that the city papers are
cheaper and better than the county papers
because they give more columns of reading
for the money
Do the city papers, il asks, ever give
you any home ncws2 Never. Do they
say anything in regard to your own coun-
ty? Nothing. Do they contain notices
of your schools, churches, improvements
and hundreds of other local matters of in
terest, which your paper publishes with
out pay0 Not an item. Do they ever
say a word calculated to draw attention to
your county and its numerous thriving
towns, and aid in their progress and en-
terprsc? Not word. And yet there
are men who take such contracted views
of this matter that unless they are getting
as many square inches OF reading matter
in their own paper as they do in city
paper, they think they are not getting the
worth Of their money. 1t reminds us OF
the person who took the largest pair OF
boots in the box, simply because they cost
the same as the pair much smaller that
fitted him.

Poe tics al.
BUILDING ON THE SAND.

IT'S well TO woo, It's well to wed,
For so the world hath done
Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun;
But have care, we young and fair,
Be sure we pledge with truth;
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days of youth
For if you give not heart for heart,
AS well as hand for hand,
You'll find you've play'd the unwse part
And "built upon the sand"
IT'S well to save, tits well TO have
A goodly store of gold
And hold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cold
But place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
UnmiXed with purer things;
And he who piles up wealth alone
VIII often have to stand
Beside his Golfer chest, and own
IT'S "built upon the sand"
IT'S good to speak in kindly guisc
And soothe wherc'er We can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind
And love link man to man.
But stop not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with language dwell;
The one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs rs we'll;
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand,
For those that talk, yet fail to do,
But "build upon the sand"

As there is a great deal of rivalry everywhere,
in the political field, in the social circle, and
even in the church, therefore you might expect
it in the business profession. This rivalry in
business has reached the climax in the stove
trade.
Ever since the TIMES COOK took the Gold
Medal for quick baking it has been attacked by
jealous rivals, but since it has taken the lead
of all irst.class Cook Stoves in Baltimore and
bids fair to finally superccdc them. u has in
Cured the spite and envy of those WI could
not secure the sale Oft, SO much so that they
take our double fire shield cross piece and UNI
crew them and show buyers one half and say
The TIMES COOK has very light castings. They
also say it will not bake well, draw well, is not
No. iron &c, &c.
SO the only security for buyers is TO come di-
rect to No 06 W Gag Street, near Front Street,
and see for themselves if the TIMES COOK
isn't the largest, heaviest, most economical, and
best BAKING STOVE ever made. Every one
of the TIMES COOK is guaranteed TO bake per-
fectly.
The reason can sell them so cheap is that
am connected with the "Quakcrtown Stove
Works." and we make them ourselves, SO you
buy from first hands. No two profits at young

other adhering matter, sprinkle it freely,
enough to make it white, with the mix

then wash, first with clear water and then
with soap and water. Itshould be pulled
