The DeacOn's PROPOSAL.

In the small town of Hopkinsville,
Mass, lived certain Deacon Small.
In his advanced age he had the misfor-
tune to lose the rib of his youth. AT
ter doing penance by wearing a weed
on his hat full year, he was recon-
mended to certain Widow Hooper,
living in an adjoining town. The dea-
con was soon astride of his old brown
mare, and on arriving at the widows
door he discovered her in the act of
turning the suds from her wash-tubs.
Said the deacon:
"Is this widow Hooper,"
Yes, sir" was the reply.
"Well," continued the deacon, ct am
that little bit of an old, dried up Deacon
Small, and have only one question to
propose to you."
Please propose sir"
swell, madam" said the deacon,
have you any objection of going to
heaven by way of Hopkinton"
None at all, deacon" was the reply,
/" Come in, deacon"
Suffice it to say they were married
the next day.

A Strange Meeting.
From the Macon Telegraph.


There arrived in Macon, by the At
lanta train the other evening, woman
with eight children. The Oldest of
these childr en- was not over seven years
of age. Two of them were too young
to be able to walk, and one is lust able
to toddle. The woman stated that she
came from Cleveland, Ohio, and was on
her way to Florida to join her husband,
who had gone before She reached
Macon on a pass from the Mayor of
Atlanta, and was utterly without means
Mr.. Cherry, at the depot, interested
himself in behalf of the unfortunate
family and succeeded in raising some
five or six dollars for her. Not being
able to procure accommodation at any
hotel or boarding house, Officer Grace
took them to the City Hall, where they
could at least find shelter for the night.
When they entered the City Hall there
was man there, who at first attracted
no attention, but after awhile one of
the children made the discovery that
the man was its father. The surprise
that followed may be imagined. The
man had left Cleveland on the 25th of
January to go to Florida. He has tray
eled most of the way on foot. His wife
supposed him to be in the land of flow
ers, whereas he reached the City Hall
not more than fifteen minutes ahead of
her. What the unfortunate family
will now do, no one knows. Ten peo-
pie, long way from friends, and with
out means--it is pitable state Of af-
fairs.

RURAL NOTES.
Useful Information for Husband
man and Housewife.
Injury to Wheat,

The present season is exceptionally
mild, and although those who dwell in
towns and cities may congratulate them
selves upon what they may term a
favorable winter, yet the farmer views
it with apprehension. The usual pro-
tecting covering which shields the
wheat from constant changes of tenn
perature, so detrimental to the tender
plant, is entirely wanting. A succession
of frosts and thaws in place of a steady
moderate cold may result in the de-
struction of our most important crop,
and one which cannot be replaced or
replanted as spring crop can. While
the farmer is powerless to avert the
evil, he may at least moderate its
effects to some extent. The greatest
injury may be feared upon undrained
and wet lands. Standing water is ut
terly fatal to the wheat crop, while
upon dry soil it will resist much I'M
favorable weather with IMMUNITY. The
farmer should therefore see to it that
surface drains are kept open, and the
fields relieved of any aecumulations of
water. A top dressing of coarse ma
nure, or even coarse litter, marsh hay
or straw, will afford much protection to
the plants.

and they lay down warm and happy;
some took moderate quantity, and
they lay down somewhat but not very
cold; others took none at all, and they
lay down very cold and miserable.
Next morning, however, those who had
taken no spirits got up feeling quite
well, those VINO had taken a little got
up feeling cold and wretched, and those
who had taken good deal did not get
up at all; they had persisted from cold
during the night. Those who took no
alcohol kept their heart warm at the
expense of their skin, and they remain
ed well; those who took much warmed
their skin at the expense of their heart,
and they died.
But while alcohol is thus injurious
during prolonged exposure to cold, the
case is very different after the exposure
is over, and its administration may
then be very beneficial.

The Garden.

From the Agriculturist.
Cassaba, Wards Nectar, Prolific Nut
meg, and White Japan melons are all
good; SOW in rich hills six feet apart,
when the soil is warm.
South of New York onions succeed
oest from sets: plant early in very rich
soili in drills fifteen inches apart. When
they can be grown from seeds sow the
same distance apart; the soil cannot be
too fine and rich; SOW early. Wethers-
field Red, Early Red, and Yellow DAN
vers are standard sorts. For gardens
potato and top onions are often used, set
in drills fifteen inches apart, and four
inches apart In drills.
Sow the Double or Moss Curled
parsley early in open ground, or gentle
hot-bed.
Sow Hollow Crowned parsnips as
soon as the soil can be worked, in drills
eighteen inches apart.
Carter's First Crop, or some other
round pea, may be soWn when the
ground thaws. Alpha is the earliest of
the wrinkled peas, out needs warmer
weather. When Champion of England
comes, no other pea is wanted. Little
Gem, Premium Gem, and Blue Peter
are good dwarf sorts, requiring no
sticks, and useful to fill odd spaces.
Squash peppers for picking, and
Sweet Mountain for stuffing, may be
sown like egg plants.
Put some early sorts of potatoes in a
warm place to sprout, and plant for
early as soon as frost is out. Alpha and
Snowflake are new and very early. Early
Vermont and Early Rose little later,
and good.
Radishes may be sown very early in
open ground or may be forced in a
frame. French Breakfast, Early Tur-
nip, and Olive-shaped are good short
varieties; the Long Scarlet for long.
Satisfy and scorzonera, there is but
one variety of each, SOW the same as
parsnips.
Uncover spinach that wintered over
when heavy frosts are passing, and hoe
between the rows. Sow seed Of Round
leaved early; New Zealand, for midsum-
mer, may be sown in May.
Summer Crookneck squashes are the
best bush. Boston Marrow, Yokohama,
Hubbard, and Butman, are favorite late
sorts. A few for early may be started
under glass in pots Or on sods.
Sow tomatoes in hot-bed and trans
plant to boxes or another hot-bed,' or
where there are but few, to small pots;
the object is to get a strong stocky
plant, to set out as soon as it is safe.
Conoueror and Canada Victor for early,
and Trophy for the rest of the season,
have not been eXcelled.
White Dutch, or Red Top Strap-leaf
turnips for early, and Long White
French, is the best late. Get in the
early sorts as soon as the ground is
ready.

Sanitary Chemistry.

The effect of the practice of street
railway companies of sailing their
tracks in winter has been much dis
cussed in New York and Philadelphia.
Here is the way several chemical and
other experts illuminate the question in
the former place. We extract from the
World:
If Prof. Rogers asserts that sailing
the streets is positively promotive Of
health, DR.. Wister expresses with equal
confidence directly opposite opinion
The former gentleman states that the
temperature of the sailed slush is not
more than five or six degrees below the
ordinary melting point; tt at the effect
of this reduction of temperature is to
dry the atmosphere by condensing its
moisture; that the stimulating influence
of salt renders it quite as safe, if not
safer, to have ones feet wet with salt
and water than with pure snow and
water" that shoes are not so easily wet
by brine as by pure water, nor is the
leather thereby injured, and sundry
other averments of scientific opinion.
Thereafter comes Dr. LIE Conte to tes-
tify that the reduction of temperature
increases the dampness OF the atmOs-
phere by diminishing it's hygrometric
capacity; that salt water, when it does
penetrate leather, tears it apart by the
deposition of crystals in the interstices,
and that while walking on the top Of
ice or snow is probably not at all injuri-
GUS to the feet; walking in liquid be-
low the freezing point is a totally diff
ferent thing. To the same effect wit
nesses DR.. Wister, who adds that the
admixture of six per cent. Of salt in a
small quantity of slush causes rapid
reduction of twenty-seven degrees. DR..
Esenwine, one veterinary surgeon, de-
claring that horses hoofs are rather
strengthened than weakened by the
chlorine in the salt, and that fewer rail
road steeds are on the sick list in sailing
seasons than at other times, is CONTRA
dicted by Mr.. Mcclure, another veteri-
nary surgeon who attributes the sick
ness and death to this cause.
