temptation.

We have had a great deal to say to our
young friends about temptation, because in
youth persons susceptibilities are greater
than at any other time of life There is
much TO be said besides telling a person
what he should avoid, or admonishing him
to shun this or that The best way to
avoid a thing is to cultivate something
antagonistic to it; in fact, if one does not
do this, his chances of successfully carry
ing out his resolves are only half what they
might be. ia person can acquire rolish

will be in less danger than if he simply
Stunned bad company, and the same may
be said of good many other things
Among the greatest protective agencies isa

of such tastes in the ranks of the fast

than snch a taste; indeed, it is wonderful

loading her, when he noticed Major Van

A Man Lives Eighteen Hour With a
Broken Neck.
From the Syracuse Courier.f

A gentleman named Miller, residing
the corner OF Park and John streets, and
aged about sixty years, was engaged in
picking cherries at Mr.. PfohPs, near b.,
and while so doing limb broke, and he
fell to the ground, distance of only ten
or twelve feet, striking on his shoulder
and the back Of his head. This occurred
about ten o'clock in the morning. Miller
was taken TO his residence and DR.. Whedon
was called. When the doctor reached the
house and made an examination, he found
that Miller had suffered dislocation ofthe
neck at the base of the brain, and at the
upper part of the spine He could hear
and understand, but could not speak. DR..
Whedon, on further examination, found
that when the mans head and neck were
pulled into the natural position he could
not only understand and hear, but could
talk as we'll. For about two hours the
neck remained in its dislocated condition
and most of the time persons were employ.

Cost of Grain.

After carefully charging our crops with
all the later experiences in them, a fair
proportion of all the manure applied in
terest upon investment in land and imple-
ments and for taxes and incidentals, we
find that our costs us (tor these items
alone) twenty eight cents per bushel, our
oats sixteen, and our wheat eighty-four
cents. In valuing commercial fertilizers
we have more than one advertcd to the
fact that their constituent parts are worth
just what they will cost in open market,
and that each crop exhausts or uses up a
certain proportion of ammonia, potash and
phosphoric acid. Professor Atwater esti-
mates that the amount of these ingredients
absolutely needed 10 form one bushel of
wheat is thirty three cents; of oats, sixteen
cents; of oorn, twenty three cents. If to
our former estimate for labor, ETC., we add
in increase the cost of one bushel of corn
to tifty-one cents, oats thirty-two and
wheat one dollar and eighteen cents, the
closeness with which these figures approxi-
mate to present prices may well lead our
farmers to doubt whether it pays US to
raise grain.

laneous paper, leave very important duty

has many advantages over books; first, be-
cause no books of equal capacity in quanti-

teresting, because newspaper consists of a
variety measured out in proper quantities
as to time and quality. Being new every
week, it invites to habit of reading, and
affords an easy and agreeable mode of ac-
quirng knowledge, causing many hours to
pass away proftably and pleasantly, which
would otherwise be spent in idleness and
mischief 1t is easy to decide whether a
family is in the habit of reading good
paper or not, by a few moments conversa-

simple facts are worth remembering.

Fate bought him To the same card table

On the last hand Mccall bet so and lost,
and when he came to settle found that he
had only $50. Bill, remarking, You

For ten or tif,en years past many Of our
leading scientific promologists have been
unable TO find terms strong enough to
the impropriety of coating the
trunks and larger limbs Of our fruit trees
with any kind of wash for the purpose of
excluding or destroying insects. Now the
tide seems to be turning, and one after an
other we seem to have scientific authority
for the use of such washes. The latest is
the following from Professor Thomas,
State Entomologist OF Illinois, who thus
indorses this mode of prevention; "lnsects
and mildews, injurious to the lenves of
seeding and root gratis, can be kept in sub
lection or destroyed by a free use of a
combination of lime and sulphur. Take
common flowers of sulphur one part -four
pounds of sulphur to one peck of lime);
break up the lime in small bits then, mix
ing the sulphur with il in tight vessel

water to slake the lime to powder, cover

poured on. This makes also most excel
