The Young Widow.

In nature or art, where can be found moro
interesting object than a young widow? She
is experienced, but wears her own hair and
teeth, and is minus wrinkles. Her recent be-
raavement gives her claims upon the sympathy
of man. Like oil good things, she can only
be treated at great sacrifice. Mrs. Brown
ing says that a man must be pretty thoroughly
spoiled before he can leave a widow. This
black swan-this mournful phenix-rises out
Of the funeral urn that holds her heart. All
men, however great or wise, have felt the in
definabIe influence of widowhood. Henry
VIII was so fond of them that he took two,
and King David was SO fond Of Abigail, the
widow of Naba, that he made her his wife,
and he turned Beihsheba into a widow on pur-
pose to marry her. When Judith ceases her
cogitatons over the virtues of the late lament
ed Manassas, of Beihalia, puts of her mourn
ing and adorns herself in brave attire to set
out for the camp Of Holofornes, we feel in
stinctively tha, she will come back with bis
heart. crown or head, whichever she goes for.
When the old widow Naomi, counsels the
young widow Ruth, how to lay her snares in
the harvest field of her kinsmau, and spring
her net on the ,hreshng floor, we know at once
that the bachelor Boaz, might as well order
the wedding garments. Allen Ramsay wrote
a song telling how TO WOO widow He might
as well have left directions how to get struck
with lightning. 1t comes on man like bis fate
--inexOrable and inevitable.

eomestic Peaoe AZ Home.

II is just as possible to keep o calm house as
to keep a clean one, cheerful and orderly
house, as furnished house, il the heads set
cut TO do so. Where Is the difficulty ofconsulting
each others weaknesses, as well as each others
wants each others tempers, as each others
characters? Oh it is by leaving the peace
at home 10 chance instead of pursuing il by
system, that so many homes are unhappy. 1t
deserves notice, also, that almos, any one can
be courteous and patient in q neighbors house.
If anything goes wrong, or be out Of time. it
is made the best Of, not the worst even efforts
are made 30 excuse it, and show il is not felt;
il is attributed to accident, not to design and
this is not only easy, bu; natural, in the house
Of friend. | will not. therefore, believe that
what is 50 natural in the house Of another, is i'm
possible at home, but maintain, without fear,
that all the courtesies Of social life may be up
held In dorbestic societies A husband is will
ling 10 be pleased at home, and as anxious to
please as in his neighbor's house, and a wifo
as intent on making things comfortable every
day TO her family, as on set days to her guests,
could not fail TO make their own home happy.
Let US not evade the point Of these remarks
by recurring to the maxim, allowances for
temper" Il is worse than folly to refer TO
our temper, unless we can prove that we ever
did any good by giving way to il. Fits Of i'll
humor punish US quite as much. il not more,
than ,hoso they are vented on and it ac,ually
requires more effort, and iniicts more pain to
give them up, than would be requisite to avoid

"whsts Fourth July'?" The question can

While oil the bells were ringing in

And crackers valiant fight for room

To see the wee maid, all unversed
In patriotic learning:
"0ur happy land, in times afar,
Was relied by q severe mamma,
Who, right and justice spurning,
Determined she would make US do
To her commands according;
But We rebelled, and so iI CHANGED,

Long years ago, the deed was done,
By which We independence won,
The laws OF Mamma England scorning.
"You understand" ?" She paused biz,
Mischieyous dimples playing
About her lipsi then, sudden,
Triumphant heard her saying

And, very ol'en, too, papas,

about one-fourth Of the bulk spoiled in tho

What is Priclly ComtieyT We only know
from our exchanges that it is a forage plant to
be grown in stools or checks and Gu; annually
as proyender for stock. 4 Yifginian writing
to the Southern Farmer says he cut a plant
from his crop and it weighed y pounds that
5000 plants can grow upon one acre, and if
each be made as heavy as the one cut the yield
would be $4,000 pounds Of green food to the
acre. Does any one know how many pounds
Of green clover, corn, or small grain can be
cut from an acre? Perhaps as many as Of the
comfrey. This plant is said to yield 20 tons
the first year, GO tons the second year and so
,o 100 tons the third and following years.
