We hear some of our farmers say
that the wheat crop will not be as
large as they had expected it would a
few weeks ago, but that We will still
have a very fair crop.
Last Sunday, Mr. B F Transou
kindly presented the Methodist Suns
day-school with a fine library of fif.
ty volumes. The school now has a
fund of forty dollars to procure a Ii,
brary.
Supt. Rives, of the NJ. Il o. r. R.,
with his assistant superintendents,
was here the first of the week, looking
up location for a ticket office and
sitting room, something that has been
needed here ever since the road was
built.
1t will be seen by reference to the
proceedings of the City Council, that
j. F. Rawlins, Esq, has been elected
city attorney. The selection is good
one, as he is a gentlemen of handsome
abilities and will carefully attend to
the city's interests.

The beauty and chivalry of our Vi
cinity were gathered together On last
Friday evening to witness the per-
formance at our concert, and while
the affair was recherche we must make
special mention of few acts. "Tem-
pest in Teaspoon was rendered in
creditable manner, Mr. Pharr and
Miss Brennie Simmons displaying
much tact in rendering their parts.
4" Moonlight and Starlight" song and
chorus by the the troupe, was simply
q grand success. "Will you Love
Me When I'm Old" was extra good.
Picnic Polka" by Miss Mollie SIM
mons was rendered in fine style. In
fact the whole affair was q success
and reflects credit upon all.
A new barber shop has been started
next door to Carroll d Hollomon's
mammoth dry goods store.
Rain has again interfered with the
farming interests of our section.
Health remarkably good. Mar
rlages as scarce as disinterested love;
and new babies as uncommon as can
be imagined in a country like ours.

A Merry Heart.

We would rather be poor and merry, than
inherit the wealth of the Indies with a dis
contented spirit. merry heart, cheerful
spirit, from which laughter wells up as nat
urally as bubbles the springs OF Saratoga,
are worth all the money bags, stocks, and
mortgages of the city, The man who laughs
is docter, with diploma endorsed by the
school of Nature his face does more good
in a sick room than pound of powders or a
gallon of bitter draughts. If things 60
right he laughs, because he is pleased; il
they 90 wrong he laughs because it is
cheaper and better than crying People are
always glad to see him, their hands instinc-
lively go half way out to meet his grasp,
while they turn Involuntary from the
clammy touch of the dyspeptic, who speaks
on the groaning key He laughs you out OF
your faults, while you never dream of being
offended with him; it seems as if sunshine
came into the room with him. and you never
know what pleasant world you are living
in until he points out the sunny streaks on
its pathway. Who can help loving the
whole-souled, genial Laughter Not the buff
foon, nor the man who classes noise with
mirth-but the CHEEKY, contented man OF
sense and mind A good-humored laugh is
the key to all breasts. The truth is, that
people like to be laughed at in genial sort
of way. If you are making yourself ride
ulous, you want to be told of it in pleasant
manner, not sneered at. And it is astonish'
ing how frankly the laughing population
can talk without treading on the sensitive
toes of their neighbors. Why will the peo-
pie put on long faces, when it is so much
easier and more comfortable to laugh Z
Tears come to us unsought and unbidden,
The wisest art in life is to cultivate smiles /;
and to find the flowers where others shrink
away for fear of thorns.- Selected.

The Education of Daughters.

The little ones like to be useful if they see
others about them useful; they like to follow
the mother about the house under pretence
of helping, though often hindering her ;
they enjoy using their little hands about
something that older ones do they like, i'll
general, to work until false notions are in
stiled into their minds We know little
girl of six years-and there are many Others
in quiet homes all over the country who ex
hibit similar tastes--who already bids fair
to be the incest little housekeeper possible.
Ever since she has been old enough to under
stand her mission-three years at least-she
has been eager to do what she fancies is use
full to others. She takes her tiny buster and
flourishes it over the chairs and sofas with
positive results After breakfast she de
murely gathers up the teaspoons from the
table, and thinks it very nice to wipe them
on the soft cloth after they are washed ;
nothing suits her better than to make some
miniature pies, and have them actually put
upon the dinner-table with her little broom
she forestals the servant, and sweeps down
the front door-steps before breakfast i'll the
morning. She puts a particular room in
order every day, and quite of her own accord
has assumed so much of the care OF her
fathers wardrobe that her mother will grad
ually be supplanted in that duty. Papa,
you've put on the wr0ng cravat," she seri-
ously says some morning "hdt'S your best
one" She reminds him to put on clean
collar and wristbands--says, "Why, papa
you haven't brushed your coat" and herself
seizes his beaver and plies the brush She
seems to consider herself responsible for his
neat personal appearance. Almost all little
girls delight to have some small household
duty committed to their care and if this
disposition should be fostered, instead OF
being discouraged, DIS it often is, on the
ground that they cannot do the thing so well
as an older person, they would, with rare
exceptions, grow up with sufficient knowl
edge of, and interest in, those home matters
about which there is so much complaint that
young ladies know little, and care Less

tice for more reasons than one. 1t shows
the Importance of saving and properly apply
ing the manure of the hen-house The state
ment that the dung of fifty hens for one
year is sufficient dressing for an acre will be
received with as much doubt by many farm
ers as he allegation that the manure OF
four wellfed Cotswold sheep will do as much.
Yet when we consider that fifty hens will
consume fifty bushels of grain, in addition
TO considerable meat, table-scraps, ETC., there
can be little doubt that their manure, when
applied to the ground, will at least repro
duce the fifty bushels of grain.
But the most instructive point in this
statement is one not Immediately obvious.
Fowls, unlike quadrupeds and other nam
malta (milk.yielding animals), do not urin-
ate, but pass off the secretion of their kid
dung. In their manure, what would be the
liquid and solid excrement in the mammal is
combined in one dropping. This accounts for
its extreme richness, and ought to be con
vincing lesson to those who are in doubt
about going to the necessary expense to pre-
serve the liquid manure of their stables.
The manure of fowls is much richer than
the manure of cattle, even when the latter
are getting as much grain, in proportion to
their weight, as the fowls. Part of this extra
richness is due to the fresh meat fed to the
fowls, or to the insects and worms they pick
up But mainly it must be attributed to
the fact that the dung of fowl represents
the liquid and solid excretion, while the
dung of CATTLE as saved by the great major
ty of our farmers, represents but little ex-
cept the solid and poorest portion of the
droppngs of our stabbed animals. There is
not particle of doubt that were our stock
fed in all respects as richly as fowls, and
both portions of the excrement saved in good
order, we should find the manure Just as
good We see proof of this in the acknowl.
edged strength of hay-manure and dung Of
fatting sheep, both these animals having a
rich diet, and voiding comparatively scanty
and therefore rich urine easily absorbed by
their bedding. If we would only furnish
absorbents for the more fluid and watery ex.
cretions of our cattle, we should be aston.
ished at the results. Especially would this
be the case if the absorbent itself were rich
in plant-food, as muck usually is. But any
absorbent, sawdust, or dry earth, or even
sand, is better than this universal waste
of indispensable plantfood, going on all
about us.

EcOnOmizing Steps.

A large part of the WEAKNESS of house.
work comes from the number of steps re-
quired OF the housekeeper while performing
it. The going up and down stairs, the Vi
bration between the kitchen, and dining
room, cellar and other parts of the house,
wear out the strength quite as much as all
other tasks combined. Hence such concern
tration Of resources as will give the house
keeper the advantage of position, and the
easy command OF every point to be covered,
is OF the utmost Importance. If she can
find In her laundry everything necessary for
washing and ironing, the work is compare
lively easy. If she can find in her pantry
every requisite for compromising bread, pas
try, cake, and have no occasion to run here
and there TO get things together and put
them away again, her task will seem light
II in her sewing-room she can put her hand
on everything required by the seamstress,
without perplexity and trouble of hunting
up Innings thread, buttons, braid, that task
will be robbed of half its WEAKNESS. But com
paratively few houses have been planned
with reference to this saving of steps. The
majority of families have no special room fit
ted up as a laundry, no pantry capacious
enough to contain everything pantry should
contain, no sewiug-room set apart Tor that sole
purpose, and articles needed in these various
industries are necessarily scattered and kept
where it is most convenient to keep them.
The washing utensils are usually kept in the
cellar, and must be brought to the kitchen
and carried back again. The sewing ma
chine stands not far from the cook stove, so
the woman who does her own work can have
an oversight OF the cooking while busy at
the machine, but her materials for sewing
cannot all be within reach. Yet by using
her brains as much as she does her feet,
she may save the latter many an unneces-
sary trip. If she must go down cellar for
| anything let her pause a moment before
starting and see if there is not something to
be carried down, or if there is any errand
| there that may be attended to other than the
special one she goes on. If she has occasion
to go upstairs let her consider how much
that is to be done she can accomplish with
once going there, and so of everything else
A great deal can be done by planning work
to make it easy. She who has arranged in
her mind little programme of her work
and goes at it Systematically, will accomplish
with half the fatigue what taken at random
might be entirely beyond her strength
Children can be trained so as to save theil
mothers steps, and by setting and clearing
away tables, putting their own toys and be
longings in place, do very much to lighter
the tolls of their mothers.-N y. Tribune

Death.

In itself and merely for itself death
need not be terrible, and often is not
But it is the light of the higher life in
Christ which alone glorifes it. And unless
this light has sunk into our hearts, | know
not whence help can reach us. We may be
resigned or peaceful. We may accept the
inevitable with calm front. We may be
even glad to be done with the struggle of
existence and leave our name to be forgot
ten and our work to be done by others. We
may be able to say to ourselves, if not in the
sense of st. Paul, al have fought good
fight, have finished my course" am ready
to lie down and die and cease to be, if this
is my fate. But in such mood of mind
there is no cheerfuness, no spring Of hope.
With such thought st. Paul could neither
comfort himself nor content the Thessa-
lonians. Nay, for himself he felt that he
would be intensely miserable if he had only
such thought. "If in this life only we
have hope in Christ. we are of all men most
miserable. "-TWLOch
