Bear in mind that deep, rich soil, we'll
cultivated the first season, and well
mulched in the beginning of winter,
are the mails points Of success. One
important thing is, TO pet sound plants
with some life in them, and not little
spindling things that have been grown
as thick on the ground as they could
stand, and perhaps offered at two dollars
per thousand.
As to varieties. Everyone cOntem-
plating their cultivation should ascer-
tain from one who has experience how
certain varieties-do in certain soils, for
they differ so much in different localities
that it is almost impossible to give
proper advice. Our experience will be
given by which those having similar soil
can judge. 'Downer's prolific has never
failed to give us satisfactory results for
ten years, and is still about the most
valuable early me Duchess is claimed
to be still earlier, larger productive, and
of excellent quality. Wilson's Albany
is still, perhaps, more extensively planted
than all Others, because it will stand
more neglect and still bear fruit; but no
one will vary more than this, for when
well grown and fully ripe it is a good
berry, and if too much neglected il will
be small, hard and worthless.

Ma. Samuel Miller, of Button, No..
recently read an address on this subject
before the horticultural society of that
state, from which we make the following
extract
In the first place, let the ground be
cultivated deep and be made very rich.
Gct good strong plants and set them out
as early in the spring as the ground
VIII admit. For regular field culture
we would recommend planting one foot
apart in the row, and the rows three
lcot apart. Cultivate thoroughly the
-ilrst season, keeping off all the runners,
and in the fall, as soon as the ground
freezes, cover the whole with straw,
weeds, or any other. kind Of litter. Let
the covering be thickest between the
rows and be but thinly spread on the
plants. In the spring, part the covering
at the crown of the plants, and wait until
the fruit is ripe; and if these i~nstruc.
tons be properly carried out, the grower
will be a0tonished at the result, if he
has never seen 1t tried before. Do no
cultivating whatever until the first is
gathered the ground between each
alternate row can be dug under, spadinp
in the mulch, and runners allowed to
take up this space, while the next be
kept clear of weeds, and no runners
allowed to take root. Thus the third
year you have matted beds of three feet
width, with alleyS the same. When
VIII ter comes give these beds It slight
covering, and the following season the
crop will not be composed of as uniform
large berries, but the product will be
about as great as can possibly be gath
cred from the ground. This may be al
lowed to bear the following year and
then plowed down as SOC as the fruit is
gathered, well manfred, and q late crop
of sweet corn raised, to be in turn plant
cd again next spring. But there must be
a rotation, and one third of the ground
that is to be occupied with strawber-
ries must be planted each year. This
we deem about the most practical plan,
and it has been successfully carried out
by several we know Of besides ourselves.

THEA TRICIL DITORCE SCOURGE.

Divorces are getting to be epidemic
among the more distinguished members
OF the musical and dramatic profession.
First comes little Lucca, who makes
love so charmingly on the stage. She
appears to be IN a chronic state of di
vorce all the time. Then we have Miss
Nelson, with the pretty christian names.
She seems to give her Philip too much
Lee-way. or he her, we are unable to say
which and now is free to marry again
which from all accounts she is shortly
about TO do. Third on the list comes
the divine Patti, who has applied for A
separation from the Marquis de Caux.
Every one supposed that when Lucca
married a baron, Nelson a London
journalist, and Patti a marquis the cups
OF these three charming and sweet-voiced
pets of the public had touched the high
est measure of sparkling %fulness. What,

The cases Of ttcse three ladies, all
beautiful, popular, and at the head of
their profession, are by no means singu-
lar, Indeed, it would appear that mar
riages for title, position, wealth, or even
love, outside of the profession seldom
turn out satisfactorily. The true artist
is in reality the slave of her art. She
cannot serve two masters. If she serves
the public and waits upon its smiles
she can scarcely hope to please the exact.
ing taste of a man whose prejudices and
ideas Of domestic life are entirely antag-
onlstic to her own. Cases there have
oeen Vi actresses marrying nOblemen,
bidding adieu to the stage, and adjoining
the new sphere into which fate had called
themi but these are rare, Judging from
the general experiences of the theatrical
world, artists have the best chance of
happiness who wed either with some one
in their W particular line, or connect
ed directly or indirectly with the dra-
matte or musical profession. This may
not be the true solution of a problem
which has often caused the public con

sELF-RELIASCE NECESSARY 10 SIC
CFSg

Selfreliance, %conjoined with prompti-
tude in the execution of our undertak-
ing+ is indispensable to success. And
yet multitudes live a Lie of yaeillation
and consequent failure, because they re-
main undetermined what to do, or, hay-
ing decided that, have no confidence in
themselves. Such persons need to be
assured; but this assurance can be OBJ
tanned in no other way than by their own
successes in whatever they may attempt
for themselves. If they lean upon Others
they not orly become dissatisfied with
what they achieve, but the success of one
achievement, in which they are entitled to
but partial credit, is no guaranty to them
that, unaided, they will not fall in their
very next experiment.
For want Of self reliance and decision
of character thousands are submerged in
their first essays to make the voyage Of
life. Disappointed and chagrined at
this, they underestimate their own ca
p%acities, and thenceforward, relying on
Others, they take and keep a subordinate
position, from which they rise, when they
rise at all, with the utmost difficulty.
When a young man attains his majority,
it is better for him as a general rule TO
take some independent position of his
own, even though the present remunera.
ton be less than he would obtain in the
service of others. When at work for
himself, in a business which requires
and demands foresight, economy and in.
dustry, he will naturally develop the
strong points Of his character, and become
selt.reliant.
A glance at the business men of anv
community will show who have and who
have not improved the opportunities of
their earlier years. The former transact
their business with ease, promptitude
and profit. They rely upon themselves,
and execute what they have to do
with energy and dispatch. Those who
shirked everything in their youth are
compelled to rely on their clerks and
statesmen for advice, and are never
ready toact when occasions of profit arise.
Many parents commit a lamentable error
in this respect. They lead their children
to believe that they can do nothing with.
out the constant assistance of their su-
periors, and after awhile the child be.
comes impressed with that idea. For
tunateit will be for him when he emerpes
from the parental root, if he call at once
acquire the self-reliance which has been
kept down at ome--Otherwise he must
necessarily fail in whatever independent
enterprise he undertakes and in such a
case, while the misfortune is his own, the
fault lies at the door of mioiudging
parents rather than at his wn.-ScieHhifc

DENSITY OF CHINESE SUPERS IL
TON.

An instance of this is the extraordi-
nary "Paperman'' mania which spread
over Central China some time ago, and
was attributed to the Vaccinations of
certain conspirators, with a view to en-
barrass the officials and create excite
ment and alarm which would facilitate
their own operations if the occasion
came. They succeeded in creating a
panic, which, perhaps, from its very in
tensity, worked its own cure. People
were first Of all alarmed for the safety Of
their queues; the word went round that
by some process of necromancy paper
men were employed to cut off the tails
of the lieges, and hat those who suffer
ed this loss were sure to be taken i'll and
die within a given period. The politi-
cal import seems to have been the re-
moval of the badge Of subsection to the
Tartar, but the common people saw only
the necromancy and the portent, and
were alarmed in proportion to the alb
surdity of the superstition. But this
gave place to a still more intense terror.
The p sprites were next credited with
descending on people during their sleep
andproducing s%uiocation. Black cats got
somehow mixed upwith paper.men in the
transaction and while the latter were cred
tied with necromantic effect, black cats
were the active agents in producing the
suffocation The panic was most intense
at Soocho and Waosin, where people were
actually afraid to 60 10 bed at night, and
work was for some days practically sus.
pended. They slept by day and beat
gongs at night to drive away the threat

Golden Rule for Farmers.

A correspondent Of the Country Gen.
tleman concludes a letter of more than
common iDterst with the following sensi.
BILE suggestions:
|. BE sure you know the branch OF
farming you want to follow. Select that
which suits you best, and in which you
will be most contented and the most
deeply interested. Do not be persuaded
that this, that, or the other will not nee.
essarily ruin your soil-especially dairy.
ing, which if properly conducted is sim
ply a species of mixed husbandry.
.. Having once decided what you will
do, concentrate your forces and 60 at it.
3. You are supposed to be a man Of
brain AMI muscle. If you do not DOS.
sess a fair degree of both it would do
better to let farming alone. You are
also supposed to be married. Ifnot,
would not advise you to wait till you are
thirty-ive (unless you live in Connect.
cut), but marry when you get ready, il
you can, an amiable woman, not deficient
in brain or music, who has sense enough
to know that bread and butter are not
products of the Imagination, but of the
soil, and who understands making these
articles in all their perfection. A wo
man who can make excellent bread and
butter, although she may be familiar
with Shakespeare, Milton, Tennyson,
Moore or a hundred other authors. will
also take an interest in your ~agricultu.
raj papers, and in the cultivation OF
plants, fruits, flowers, etc, which rem.
ders a farmers home pleasant and at
tractive.
4. 1t is well to keep out of debt, but
you need not wait till you have earned
enough by days work" to pay wholly
for Il farm. Neither need you wait till
you are gray for some respected relative
to drop off and leave you a legacy. II
you have money enough to stock the
farm you intend buying and can make
a fair payment down, and have a reason
able period for paying the balance, 60
ahead. 1t is store debts, backsmiths'
and shoemakers' bills, and debts of this
class, you must beware of. Raise your
wn provisions; that is what a farm is
for. There are men in this neighbor,
hood who profess to be farmers, who
yearly buy their beef, pork, wheat, fruit,
etc of their neighbors, simply because
they are too careless to look after these
important details of farm economy.

two acres. The yield could be doubled

On the above, Moore's Rural New
Yorker says; The positive iteration OF
generalities, and especially the emphasis
placed on deep blowing for corn, invites
the suspicion that the writer was airing
some very plausible theories, instead OF
writing from practical experience. 1t
may be under certain circumstances tina,
corn will do better on deeply plowed
ground; but we never saw such a case.
As for cross-plowing' deep for corn,
we know that this is only theory for if
corn is planted on d newly-turned sod, as
il should be, cross,plowing would only
turn the sod uppermost again. Most
probably the writer of the paragraph
quoted does not know anything of the
subject which he was discussing, but has
borrowed some plausible ideas from the
agricultural wisdom always floating in
the newspapers.
