TWO SORTS OF CHRISTIANS.

There are many -wlIo are very Jealous,
Ny regular, very orthodox, amazingly
diligent In unfolding the Church, shock
ed at false doctrine or irregular practice
but they are bitter, intolerant, unloving,
and even malignant. In vain you listen
for the soft answer that turneth awav
wrath; in vain you look for the sympa-
thetic spirit that considers the case of
others, or the charity that suffers long
and Is kind. Hard to their servants,
exaeting to their DEFENDANTS, nursing
hatred. and cherishing the memory of
wrongs, they are as bad as the deciples
who would have called down fire from
heaven to consume the Samaritan village.
Well for them if they hear the Masters
rebuke in this life they run such a risk
Of hearing in awful tones on a future
day IL never knew you. Depart from
Me, ye that work iniquity." On the
other hand. we sometimes find both men
and women deficient in many ways, but
rich in the spirit of ministering. We
find them. perhaps, in churches of which
we do not think well, or in connection
with creed we abhor. Let us not for
such reasons think little of their spirit,
but rather magnify the grace of Hin
who makes the flower to bloom in the
desert, and the birch and pine tree to
spring from cleft of the naked rock.
And for ourselves, surely the right lesson
must be: if the desert or the rock car
show such fruitful plants, how much
richer fruit should be found on those il

MATURING ORCHARDS.

There would seem to be no good rea-
son why, if we wish to raise good orchard
fruits, we should not manure our trees.
People often look at trees growing on
rocky hill-sides, and argue therefrom that
trees can grow without manure. They
know that potatoes and other vegetables
must have manure or they will not thrive,
but they regard trees as different order
of vegetation, something that can thrive
and flourish where nothing else would.
But, in the case of trees on rocky hill
sides, the land is often anything but poor.
The rocks themselves frequently contain
valuable mineral matter, which, as the
rock decays, is presented in form that
plants can feed upon. Then whatever
vegetation grows among the rocks remains
there to decay, and even leaves and other
foreign substances that blow into the
crevices formed by the rocks make val
liable plant-food, on which the tree
thrives.
In more level land, trees must be ma
nured. In many cases, it is as necessary
to the best success that trees have an
occasional manuring as it is that any
other crop should have manure. There
have been many discussions as to whether
manure for fruit-trees should be applied
broadcast or ploughed IN. For orchard
trees there is no rule; it depends on cir.
cumstances. If the trees are on ground
where vegetables are grown, the manure
is, of course, turned in for the benefit Of
these crops, and the roots of the fruit
trees fight with those of the vegetables
for some Of it, and get it, too. Blu
there are many orchards where no crops
are grown but the trees, and then it il
an excellent practice to apply manure a.
a top-dressing at least every other year
if you would have them bear an abund
ance of good fruit.-BostOn Journal 0

HOTBEDS.

One of the most interesting parts of
vegetable garden is hotbed for start
ing seeds early. The END or the month
will be time enough for those who have
not command of large supply of stable
manure as the end of the month soon
absorbs all the heat the hotbed possesses.
1t is, in any event, best to put up the
beds in the warmest and most sheltered
spots we can find and to keep the cold
winds from the manure by covering it
with branches of trees or mats; and the
glass should always be covered with mats
at night. Tomatoes, egg plants, peppers
and cucumbers are the first seeds to be
sown in this way. Cooler frames can be
got ready for caulihower, lettuce, beets,
celery, and Early York cabbage, a little
of which may be sown about the end of
the mouth for the earliest crops. The
caulihower is particularly valued veg
etable. and no expense to get them in
perfection will be regretted when ones
efforts are successful.
Those who have hotbeds will now sow
tomatoes, egg plants, peppers, and other
vegetables that can be forwarded by this
means; and those who have not will sow
them in boxes or pans and forward them
in windows. Every garden out to have
at least few hotbed sashes, to forward
early vegetables for, if they have nc
means of applying artificial heat to them,
the sash will of itself forward some
things considerably.
About the end of the month, or still
later at the North-say the middle Of
April-celery and late cabbage may be
sown.
In the anxiety to have early crops
people often work the ground while it is
wet. But nothing is gained. Not until
it will powder when it is dug is it fit fol
turning up.-Gordener's MOnthLV.

TIMELY HINTS.
BY C. F. CLARKsoN.

Prepare your seed wheat 1t pays to
clean it, and to do it thoroughly. No
small or defective grains should be left
in it They seldom grow, and if they
do they produce only dwarfed stalks and
probably no grain. And be sure to
screen out all foul seed. There is enough
of that already on our land. There is
time now. and let it be improved.
AS one of the results of the Centen-
tennial Exhibition, Russia has sent an
order to an American pillow factory for
10000 plows and other improved imple-
ments in proportion. A new stimulus is
given to American industry by the in
creased orders from all parts of the
world.
After this date no cattle, horses or
hogs should be allowed to tramp over
meadows. 1t peaches them into holes,
and tramps the ground hard.
Do not waste soap suds. 1t is healthy
for hogs. and highly fertilizing to grape
vines.
Prepare this spring for an asparagus
bed. If you do not like it, or if you
know nothing about it, cultivate and
educate yourself and family to eat it.
1t is important that every family should
use it, whether they like it or not. Do
not let your stupidity deprive your fam
lily any longer of this early spring health
invigorating vegetable.
Do our friends know that there is a
new farm lying just below the old one :?
Plow deeper and find it.
There is much surface water in the
spring of the year running in the roads,
and along ravines. Where it can be
turned to run over meadows. pasture or
even land intended for corn or wheat, it
will be valuable as a fertilizer There
is nitrogen and ammonia in surface water
from rains or melting snow.
AS the spring opens and before putting
in the crops, let every farmer see that
All a. manure on the farm is hauled
and spread where corn ana -Os,- .-ans
are to be grown. 1t will not do to neg
lect this important matter in farming.
1t is not too late for rabbits to be
hardest on young apple trees. Rub the
trees with piece of fat pork, and they
will not disturb them. This would pay
for nurserymen to try.

This notorious character, one Of the accomplices in the murder of McAlister, of our county in 1873, is again at large not. however, without having cost our county an additional sum of something like a thousand dollars. It will be re. membered that when the decd was perpetratcd he made his es- cape into Texas. There lie re- mained until some few weeks ago he was brought back on rcqni
 sition from Gov. Garland, and was arraigned before the December term of our Circuit Court for trial. A change of venue to Yell county was taken and trial of the case was had at Dardanelle week be. fore last, resulting in his being sentenced to the State penetentia- ry for term of ten years. The sentence was almost universally considered most lucky one for him, the general belief having been that he would be convicted of murder in the first degree. After passage of the sentence upon him, he was placed under guard in the upper story of the brick building, erected by tue Masons, and thro, the carelessness of the guard he was afforded an opportunity to ef- feet his escape by jumping out of window. He is yet at large, and thus through the carelessness of a guard, all such carelessness must be looked upon as criminal and our law makers should provide a severe punishment therefor, the enas ofjustice have been thwarted and desperate criminal is loose upon the community.

The present winter in it's pas sage up to this time lfas been marked by an unusually large number of confiigrations. In our own state, especially, has there been a frequency of fires which is indeen very damaging. At Little Rock the fires of the l4th and 18th of December, the former de- s:oying the handsome Metropol- itan Hotel, and the latter consum- ing the equally valuable and handsome building of Messrs Miller x Penzel, involved a heavy loss and robbed that city of some of her best property. About the same time fires occurred in other towns throughout the state. At Van Buren the loss of Calla. hans thread factory and mill is reported. The establish : ment run a goodly number of spindles and also cotton gin and grist mill, and the loss amounted to a considerable sum. The little town of Jonesboro has also had a severe fire involving the loss of a portion of the best business buildings of the place, and in hicting a damage to property own CTS which is very crippling. The frequency of these fires should admo. .lish the authorities in cities and towns to look we'll to the pro- tection of property, not only by requiring frequent inspection of hues and stove pipes, but also by watching closely, and forbidsling the loose laying around oftramps. Thus far our town has escaped any loss from fire this winter. We trust we may escape without such a visitation, for we are poor ly prepared to subdue a fire.
