Gentle Mothers.
" My mother dear, my mother dear,
Nv gentle pputlp mother ~


thought | was singing my boy to sleep
with the little ballad OF which the above is
the chorus but the blue eyes opened, and
quiet voice said, Mamma, you amt always
gentle In self-justifcation replied, But,
you know, darling, mamma has TO scold you
when you're naughty" Yes, m" The
argument dropped; SO did the little head
upon my bosom. | did not finish the song,
nor have | sung it since. Tenderly tucking
in the little truth-teller, | reproached myself
for deserving his remark, and greatly ques-
toned the truth Of my answer. Do mothers
ever have TO scold Has scoldng any legit
innate place i'll the family government
How is the word defined Railing with
clamor; uttering rebuke in rude and boist
erous language" Is this a helpful adjunct
TO parental authority? Why do Christian
parents sometimes scold For two reasons,
as it seems to us. First, for lack of self
control second, from habit. Children are
often terribly trying, and loud and angry
tones seem safety-valve for our stirred
tempers. Besides, we feel that gentleness
alone can never safely steer the family bark
over life's troublous sea. Force, firmness,
decision, sternness, even severity, are often
necessary. A suitable degree OF these is not
incompatible with geDteness. 1t is not a
synonym for weakness. The gentleness
that makes one great comes from subdued
strength. This lovely fruit of the Spirit
proves an element OF power. The :" soft
answer often costs the answerer dearly.
Sweetness OF spirit is the outgrowth OF self
control. Serenity of soul, whatever be the
constitutional characteristics, comes most
frequently from long self-discipline and
prayeriul struggle.-Good Words

"Gluttedv Markets.

An exchange says The worlds markets
are glutted with the products of the loom,
the mine and the forge. Manufactures are
running on half time. Merchants ware
houses groan with the weight of accumulat-
| ing merchandise. Able and stalwart men
walk our cities seeking in vain for work,
! finding no vacant situations for anxious and
willing workers. Strikes and labor difficult
ties abound in every direction. What is
the remedy for this unhappy state OF affairs
| We answer--increased attention to the cul-
tivation of the soil. Thousands of worthy
men, graduates from the farm, now eking
out miserable existence in the vain strug-
gle for wealth and improved condition in
over-crowded cities, should return to labor
in the soil. Grange clubs, farmers clubs
can do mighty and philanthropic work in
encouraging these prodigal SONS to return
once more to the happy home of their
fathers
Does it not seem strange that such
"glut " of wealth for these great accumula.
tons of valuable products are wealth-should
concur with and be represented as the cause
of such restitution and poverty? Can it be
truly said that markets are gutted when the
people are simply without means to buy
these very goods, being greatly in need of
them2 When all the property of country
is in the hands of small portion of its
citizens the destitute cannot buy. These
| ,l,tt aI rlyata har
mainly the result of the impoverishment of
the working classes consequent upon ignor-
ant and unjust legislation by which, in few
years, wealth has become 10 great degree
aggregated in the hands of few, while
many have been utterly impoverished. 1t is
not, in the long run, for the benefit of the
rich that such a state of things should exist
For time they can live upon their accu-
mulated stores, while the unemployed la
borer starves or emigrates. But when their
capital is spent there is no more labor to re-
produce the wasted wealth, and the country
suddenly finds itself ruined as Venice and
Spain, once the wealthest of states, were
ruined. That state prospers best where
property is most equally divided, and where
the laws favor such equal division. Labor
flies from country where it is discouraged,
or if it cannot fly, drops into brigandage and
beggary. No quack remedy OF returning
to farming" will heal this evil. There is
just the same "glut of agricultural as of
manufactured products, and for the same
reason. The poor are hungry but they can
not buy, because they are poor, while specu-
lators count their millions. Be wise in time.

Pringle's Sweet Siberian.

We have several times alluded to this fruit,
the only perfectly hardy sweet apple with
which we are acquainted. Our trees, six years
old from the root graft, have this season borne
quite full, and the fruit sells readily at two
dollars a bushel These apples are below
medium size, but very fair and uniform,
half dozen specimens just measured at
random from basketfu before us not
varying quarter of an inch from seven
inches in circumference. In color they are
rich yellow, nearly covered with fine car
mine stripes. The flesh is yellow, very rich,
luscious and juicy, with no suspicion of crab
origin. The tree originated from crab Sc ID

men of this fruit by mail, may send us six
cents in stamps for postage, with their ad
dress, and it shall be sent. The season OF
this apple is all of September.

The Wheat Crop In Vermont.

Vermont has come nearer breading +"
herself this year than before for many years.
All through the state the wheat crop has
been good, aud the breadth of this and other
grain sown was, owing to the early spring,
considerably larger than usual. Land well
fitted for potatoes will give good wheat, and
those who preferred the grain to the tuber
this year hit it. One of our neighbors
(Coroden Cummings, Esq, of Newport) got
thirty-five bushels per acre from seven acres
another, one hundred and thirty bushels
from four acres still another, twenty-five
bushels from three-quarters of an acre, and
our own little patch of half an acre yielded
sixteen bushels. This new Maine variety,
Lost Nation" gains greatly in favor, Oh
account of its strong growth large yield and
excellent Touring quality. A. NJ Foster
ESD of Cabot, sends us heads from his
field measuring six inches, and our own was
about equal many heads containing from
seventy to eighty kernels, and the weight
being plump up to sixty-four pounds per
bushe. DIR, F. B. Hathaway, of Milton,
also reports fine results.

The State Fair.

The exhibit OF live stock and farm pro-
duets at st. Albans was very good, and in.
Dictated that our State Agricultural Society,
though quite horsey enough, has not yet re-
duced its exhibitions to the condition of
some fairs" where three pumpkins and
peck of beans are considered sufficient to con-
vert horse race into an agricultural show.
The most noticeable thing among the cattle
was the great increase of Jerseys, and the
same is observable at nearly all our county
fairs. Our farmers seem to be settling down
in their minds upon the conclusion that a
Jersey cross is what our Vermont COWS
want at least in the butter producing
sections.
There was, however, very good display
of Shorthorns, with more reds and fewer
roans than we have ever seen at the state
fair The level lands of the Champlain valley
are as well adapted to the Shorthorn breed
rs their native home, and if care is taken b
select aud breed for milking quality We
incline TO think that for market milk and
for cheese this breed will prove satisfactory
There are also many good butter COW,
among them. The Ayrshires make ever
less progress among us than the Devons. II
is conceded that they are deep mixers, bu
very hard mixers, and not good butter COWS
We incline to the belief that milking Short
horns with Jersey cross for butter), in on
rich valleys, and the Jersey cross on our bes
common cows for the hill farms, will ulti
,nately prevail. But let every farmer un
derstand that good blood alone, withou
good feeding aud good care, will never Civ
as good race of dairy stock As the swil

pail makes the pig, SO rich and clean past
ures, early cut hay with roots, meal and mill
feed, make the COW and the butter and cheese
The fruit show was not nearly as good as
it ought to have been, with Grand Isle so
near But there was a decent show of ap-
pies, with evidence of a growing intelligence
in regard to the harder varieties, suitable
to the northern and eastern parts OF the
state. The Russian apples, and especially
the Duchess of Oldenburgh, attracted much
notice.
There was large and varied display of
implements, and these, as usual, were care
fully inspected by great numbers. We were
glad to see an excellent and powerful wind
wheel in operation. Many, If not all our
farmers, would find one of these profitable
investment. They are cheap, durable, pow
erful, easily kept in ORDER and applicable to
hundred uses on the farm.

Montreal Horticultural Society.

The exhibition of this society was real
success as regards at least the display of
plants, flowers and fruit The pecuniary re-
suit we have not learned, but there was large
attendance. The gardeners of Montreal and
the vicinity are second to none in America for
taste and skill, as their exhibits demonstrated
In variegated leaved plants, palms and other
tropicals, as well as in ferns, the show was
especially good Some extensive and valuable
contributions were also made from Quebec
The apple show was very large, embracing a
great number of varieties little or not at al
known outside of the Province of Quebec
These kinds are many of them worthy tn,
attention of Vermont orchardists, and, or
the other hand, the existence of this spirited
society, with its annual show, offers an op
portunity for our fruit growers, that should
not be neglected, to introduce some of oui
choice but little known varieties of hardy
fruit to our Canadian brethren.

A New Early Grape.

l.. w. Decker, Esq, landlord Of the Mon
treal House, on our recent visit to that city
showed us grape which heis growing quite
extensively, and which be thinks very highly
of. He also had specimens on exhibition a,
the Horticultural Society's show. II is a
large black grape, ripening from the middle
OF August onward, being over-ripe and drop
ping September 18th. The quality is quite
equal to that of any of our early outdoor
grapes-better than Hartford Prolific, and
not inferior to Concord-while being a
month earlier. Mr.. Decker claims wonder
full productiveness, vigor and hardness fol
the grape, which he received from Elwangei
4 Barry, of Rochester, N. Y, as the Cham
pion but which was quite unlike grapes ex
hibited at the same time under that name
So early grape is especially adapted tc
Vermont, and we shall hope that it will be
propagated extensively.

A husbandman, who many years
Had plowedhis field and sown In tears,
Grew weary with his doubts and fears.
" / tofed in vain These rocks and sands
WIN Yield no harvest to my hands;
The best seeds rot In barren lands.
"My dropping vine Is whitening;
No promised grapes its blossoms bringi
No birds upon Its branches sing.

The heavens are brass, they yield no rain
The earth is iron-I toll In vain"
while yet he spake, breath had stirred
His dropping vine like wing OF bird,
And from ia leaves voice he heard
The germs and fruits Of life must be
Forever hid In mystery,
Yet none can toll in vain for me.
" A mightier hand, more skilled than mine.
Must hang the clusters on the vine,
And make the fields with harvest shine.
Man can but work, God can oreatei
But they who work and watch and wait.
