his appearance on the Campus Martius,

four old men standing around with their
buck-saws and waiting for work. "Tll

these meetings have usually been held
In their room, when from one to eight
of their number have been present at
each meeting. We are praying for the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon
these men who are trying to reform,
which shall lead them TO seek help from
Him who is mighty to save, who alone
can deliver them from that terrible foe
the drunkard's appetite-and that He
in whose hands arc the hearts of all
men, will cause every rumseller 10

in their hands TO drive this foe from our

The Flower Garden, p


The seeds Of ANIMALS may be sown
in cold frame the last fApril or first
ofMay, which is quite early enough in
most ofthe Northern States, as the
cold frame depends entirely on the sun
for its heat. A cold frame is easily
managed by any one, and in no other
way can such uniform success be had.
I would recommend everybody who has
half dozen varieties to sow, TO try one.
1t is made by making box-like frame
of boards without bottom, which
should be abouta foot or fifteen inches
high at the back, sloping to five or six
inches in front, SO as to catch the direct
rays of the sun as much as possible. 1t
can be made of any. .size desired and
nailed at the corners, if small enough
to be easily moved about, or if larger,
fastened together with hooks and sta
pies. Prepare bed, in awarm, shell
tered spot in the garden rake out all
the Jumps and stones, and on this set
the frame, and cover with ordinary hot
bed sash, or old window sash, which
will do quite as well. Make the sol! in
the frame smooth and firm with a soard,
and SOW the seeds thinly and evenly on
the surface in squares, and label each
sort with short, pine stick. Have a
pile of light, sandy soil or leaf mold
from the woods, which has been sifted
through fine sieve, near at hand, and
if the seeds are very small, carefully
siftit over them. Leave from one-six-
teenth to one-fourth of an inch, accord
ing to the size of the seeds. Probably
more failures to make seeds, terminate
result from covering too deep than from
any other cause. have known people
to cover the smallest kinds of flower
seeds two or three inches deep, and, of
course, they could not have been more
efectually destroyed if they had been
burieda foot deep. A good and safe
rule is to cover to depth Of about twice
the diameter Of the seed. After the
seeds are all covered, make the soil
firm again with the hands, and water
with waterproof having fine rose, so
as not to wash the soil from the seeds.
Now put on the sash and keep it tightly
closed until the plants come up. Give
plenty OF air in the middle Of warm,
sunny days, and cover with mats or
boards at night, to keep out the cold.
Pull out The weeds as fast as they APP
pear, and, IN order to have nice, stocky
plants, they should be well thinned out.
If seeds of the half-hardy and tender
ANIMALS are to be sown in the open
ground, do not be in haste, but wait
until the weather has become warm
and settled, say about the time corn is
usually planted. 1t is always best to
sow in seed bed all except a few var
ieties, which do not transplant we'll.
Cover the bed with several thicknesses
of newspaper to retain the moisture,
bat they must be removed as soon as
the plants come up. Plant gladiolus:
dahlia, and other half-hardy bulbs and
roots, from the middle to the last of
May. II gladioli bulbs are planted at
different times, from the middle of May
to the middle of June, they may be had
in bloom from July to October. -Sciea-

laboring man gets a dollar day for a

The thing to do, it seems to us, is
either to quit the farm and try some
other business, or to stick to the farm
and make the SO cents a day and as
much more as we can, by hard work.
