The Greeks had proverb which ran
thus: ITO dispute on the shadow of an
ass" This took rise from an anecdote
which Demosthenes is said to have related
to the Athenians, to excite their attention
during his defense of criminal, which
was being but inattentively listened to.
A traveller" he said "once went from
Athens to Megara on hired ass. 1t hap
pened to be in the time of the dog DAYS,
and at noon He was much exposed to
the uDmitigated heat of the sun; and not
finding so much as q brush under which
to take shelter, he bethought himself to
descend from the ass, and seat himself un-
der its shadow. The owner of the donkey,
who accompanied him, objected to this.
declaring to him that when he sent the an
imal the use of its shadow was not includ-
ed in the bargain. The dispute at last
grew so warm that it got to blows, and
finally gave rise to an action at law"
After saying so much, Demosthenes con-
tinued the defence of his client; but the
auditors, whose curiosity he had piqued,
were extremely anxious to know how the
judges decided on so singular cause
Upon this the orator commented severely
on their childish injustice, in devouring
with attention paltry story about an ASST
shadow while they turned deaf ear to
the cause in which human being was in
volved. From that day, when a man
showed preference for discussing small
and contemplate subjects to great and
important ones, he was said "to dispute on
the shadow of an ass"

The art of transplanting trees, shrubs,
and vines is only learned by experience close
observation, and strict adherence to the
laws that govern vegetable growth. Any
unskilled laborer can dig up and reset a
tree or vine; but this does not insure
life, health and vigor. There is well-ad-
justed balance between the roots and
branches of every tree or vine. Trained,
practical gardeners recognize this fact, and
the Importance in transplanting of remov-
ing carefully all the roots possible, and
especially the fine, fibrous ones, such as
take up and furnish the nourishment. To
save enough of these roots in transplant
ing large-sized trees, it is necessary to know
the habits of growth of trees and vines.-
For instance, the Scotch or white pines
with their long, fieshy roots, and compar-
atively few fibrous ones near the body of
the trees, need more care in removing than
the Norway spruce with its mass of fibrous
roots clustered around and near the body.
The best way in all cases is to dig a narrow
trench around the body, some distance from
the tree, deep enough to get below the low
er tier OF roots. In making this circle,
the flat of the spade should not be faced
towards the body of the tree. The top
soil on the ball" near the body should
be removed by a digging fork or other i'm
plement that will not cut or injure the
small roots. In case the trees or shrubs are
to be moved only short distance from
where they are growing, as much soil as
will adhere to the roots may be left on with
advantage.
The second important point to be OBJ
served in transplanting is not to leave the
roots exposed for moment to the rays of
the sun, or to blowing dry air, which is
quite as injurious to tender rootlets. II
not set out at once, the roots ought to be
kept damp and covered over with cloth,
or "heeled in" Trees coming from a
distance, when the roots show signs of
being left exposed, and the fibres are dry
and somewhat shrveled, will he much im-
proved by plunging them into stream or
pool of water, and then heeling them in,
covering the roots carefully with moist
soil, and so leaving them until ready to
plant out.-From apaper By P. 7. Quinn,
in Scribner for May.

A CoNTRAsT.-They were very pretty,
and there was apparently five or six years
difference in their ages. AS the train pull.
ed up at Bussey, on the A. X. 6 D., the
younger girl blushed, fattened her nose
nervously against the window and drew
back in joyous smiles as young man came
dashing into the car, shook hands tenderly
and cordially, insisting on carrying hel
valise, magazine, little paper bundle, and
would probably have carried her had she
permitted. The passengers smiled as she
left the car, and the murmur went ripping
through the coach, "They're engaged."-
The other girl sat looking nervously out OF
the window, and once or twice gathered her
parcels together as though she would leave
the car, yet seemed to be expecting some
one. At last he came. He bulged into the
door like house on fire, looked along the
seats until his manly gaze fell on her upturn.

been waiting for you on the platform for fif

strobe out of the car, while she followed
with little black valise, u bandbox, u pa

of jelly preserves, and an extra shawl. And

end of the car croaked out, in unison with
the indignant looks of the passengers, -

THE GULF STREAM.-The river in the
ocean," known as the Gulf Stream, from
the Gulf of Mexico to the Azores, is 5000
miles in length, and its greatest breadth
1870. At the first its speed is four miles
an hour; but this gradually declines as it
becomes more diffused. Off the State of
Florida its temperature is eighty-thrce de-
grees, or nine degrees above the surround
ing waters; and off newfoundland, in
winter, it is twenty-five tc thirty degrees
warmer than the neighboring seas, thus
causing the dense fog of that region. 1t
is great dispenser of heat and moisture
in its course. To its influence are owing
the verdure of the Emerald Isle,' and
the mildness of the climate of Western
Europe compared with countries elsewhere
of correspondent latitude. 1t arrests the
chilling Arctic icebergs, which melt away
in its tepid waters 1t is Of deep indigo
blue as long as its current is deep and mar
row and the line of demarkation between
it and the adjacent waters is SO marked

common waters of the sea !; and two buck
cts let down, one ut the bow, the other at
the stern, will draw up water differing in
temperature by no less than thirty degrees.

For the dEgis 6 Intelligsncer.
The Dark Side of City Lifey<


We now would speak of whom we meet.
In week day rambles on the street;
We cannot tell them by their dress
These latter days, we only guess.
Some with pomp and city pride,
Yet some we would not dare deride
For many poor our side walks tread,
And ask with plying look for bread.
These streets reveal the varied sights,
OF poor mems wrongs and woman's rights;
IT'S hers to smile on city swells,
And his to fiatter blushing bellies.
IT'S his in fashions charms to flirt
And hers to wear the pull back skirt.
Perchance her wardrobe has no lack
While all he has is on his back
In either case it brings no i'll
To us VINO do not foot the bill.
He may be man of trade,
Or she an uptown chamber-maid.
In either way it's no disgrace,
If they but wear an honest face.
Some poet said, (and poets know,)
"This world is all fleeing show"
The proof, in part, of what he says,
Our streets reveal in vain displays,
And yet, anon, some man of sense,
Or parson famed for eloquence,
Some thoughtful sage, or grey hair'd sire
With other men of lofty aims,
Tread our streets and narrow lanes.
But in the main this moving mass,
Are thinking cymbals, sounding brass :"
While pride and vanity excels,
With "Folly" dingling at her bells.
Here many youths who promised fair
Are captives to some city SNARE
Their nights employ in games of chance,
Or 'ming'lin IN the giddy dance.
Unblushingly they fan the flame,
Which soon must tinge the cheek with
shame,
II thus they sow, what must they reap,
When angels wake the dead from sleep?
What harvest will be shouting home,
"When the reaping time shall come"
could we quit this city throng,
And change our notes to rural song;
Or mingle in those sweeter strains,
That MARBLE through the woods and plains,
More pleasing then would every chime
Fall quiy'ring into rustic rhyme,
And warbling in the tangled wood,
Enhance the charms of solitude
But midst the city's noise and smoke,
Where prowls the wolf in tleecy cloak,
Where men take pride in tricks of trade,
And boast of wealth dishonest made,
Where every morning paper shows,
Some Widows wrongs and orphans woes.
Where scenes of crime and bitter strife
Oppose the higher aims of life.
Where these discordant notes resound,
The harp must give plaintive sound,
Swelling ever into signs,
From grieying earth to bending skies.
Hence with all its boosted pride,
The city has a darker side

How A WOMAN ORDERS CHEsT.-Dur-
ing our married life my wife has insisted
that we couldn't keep house properly with
out large chest for bed clothes and old
traps. Last week took the dimensions
from her questioning as follows:
"How long,"
swell, say ten feet" and she held her
hands about yard apart.
"How wide 2"
"Well, pretty wide; say six feet" meas
uripg it upon her apron.
"How deep ~
son, have it deep. l guess eight feet
will be about right
Bridget arrived while we were at tea.-
"Sure, sir" said she, "that Ryan, the store
keeper, is here wild small barn on shtone
boat. He's torn down both the gate posts
drivin' in. l think it's chist he calls it,
and says where will yez have it?"
I've succeeded in proving by the origi-
nal mem. of measurement that there
was an error somewhere. The "cbistn has
a window in it and contains the cow, cali
and one bale of hay. Wife says she is GO
ing to Patterson this spring to find man
that knows how to build a chest, and not
make it large enough for a cattle barn..

Cash VS.. Credit.

This credit system is the bane of society
and the curse of the laboring man. Moth
ing is better calculated to keep man I'M
der its harrow than to allow himself to run
an account at the store or grocery. When
man runs into debt for farm, house
and lot, or for any kind of property that
can be sold again for its full value, he can
not be properly called in debt, because he
has the property to show for it. But when
lie has to pay for goods worn out, or pro-
visions eaten up, then it is that there is a
feeling of "goneness' perfectly indescrib-
able. AS arule, the person who gets things
charged gets poorer article than does the
cash customer and pays higher price No
dealer can afford to sell as low on credit as
he can for cash. Suppose groceryman to
have a capital of thousand dollars, and
suppose it were possible for him to sell that
amount for cash each day, buying again
the next day, and so on. 1t is easily seen
that he could do the same amount of bust
ness as could the man with capital of
thirty thousand, who has thirty days time.
OF course the first would well afford to sell
cheaper than the latter. Then again there
are the losses to be made good by some
one, and those who do pay must pay the
bill of the dead beat" or else he "gets
swamped. - Country Gentlemen.

A House BUILDING FIsH.-In Lake
Nyassa, in the far interior of Africa, is a
kind of black fish which every year builds
what the natives call "a house." In the
mud at the bottom of the lake it makes a
ing the earth removed from the hole to
form little wall around it. The depth
of the hole and the height of the wall
measured together make small basin from
fifteen to eighteen inches deep. In this
little lake within lake the fish feels secure
fron all enemies, and very quietly keeps
house until the eggs are laid, when it be-
comes restless, and leaves the house as a
nursery for successors, while it roams about
against. Nicholas for May.
