NEVER found pride in noble nat
ure, nor humility in an unworthy mind.
Of all the trees, | observe that God has
chosen the vine-a low plant that creeps
upon the WALL of all the beasts, the soft,
patient lamb; of all the fowls, the mild
and gentle dove. When God appeared to
Moses it was not in the lofty cedar, not
the spreading palm, but the bush-as if
he would by these selections check the
conceited arrogance Of man. Nothing
produces love like humility; nothing
hate like pride.

Prickly COmfrey.

In reply to J. N. Bethunes inquiry as
to the mode of culture of prickly COM
frey by which l was able to produce at
one cutting at the rate Of over 55 tons to
the acre, would say first that the soil is
naturally deep rich loan, aud that the
plants are over two years old from the
time of setting ont. The only trouble in
his case was that he cut from his sets too
soon, as they ought to he one year old at
least before any good yield could be ex.
pected of them. This should have been
told him by the party supplying the sets,
together With general rules for planting,
culture, &c. Prickly comfrey, being
perennial, should have at least year
from the time Of planting the sets to es-
tablish strong and vigorous growth of
roots, stems and leaves, and when this is
attained no fear need be entertained that
it will not be able to keep up strong
yield of fodder for many years. Mr.. Be-
tbune has evidently given some of his
plants a severe trial, as he says he cut
from them twice within about four
months from the time of planting.
From New-Durham, Canada, comes
the first note of disapprobation of prick
ly comfrey from B. j. P, page 665) He
likens it to the Canada thistle and quack
grass, and hints at its being a valueless
weed, and says that his stock will not eat
it in the pasture. l doubt if B. J.P. has
the true article. His is probably Sym
phytum cticinale, or common comfley,
and not S. asperrsmum, of which Prof.
Asa Gray makes no mention. 1t is ma.
tive of Caucasia and imported into this
country from England, and is relshed by
all stock, whether cut and fed green, or
fed off like turnips while growing, or cut
and cured and fed dry.-Cor. Country

AMERICANS are apt to be scandalized
in Europe by the field labor of women
but we learn from the statements of the
special agricultural correspondent of the
Edinburgh Scotsman, that in this coun-
try, also, women are similarly employed.
Writing from the great settlement in
Kansas, he says: "The majority of those
who have settled here within the past two
years are Russians, and being working
people without capital, they have reduced
the cost of labor greatly. They break
prairie and plow land at 5s. or 6s. per
acre, which used to cost 12s. or GAS. and
for days work Russian women charge
25 cents, or Is, and excellent workers
they are."

WISHING TO DIE.-When a man goes
round the house signing and wishing
himself dead, you needn't trouble to put
the bottle of opium away. He wouldn't
touch it for worlds. If he should be sud
denly attacked by collie you would hear
him screaming out for doctor at the
top of his voice. Oue day Pompey said
he wanted to die and go to glory. He
wrought himself into an ecstatic state,
and told the people at the prayer meeting
that he positively couldn't wait much
longer. That night, at twelve, some one
knocked at his cabin door. "What you
wantG" said the colored man, trembling,
81 want Pompey to take him to glory
replied gruff voice. The darkey thought
moment and then said, "Mr. Angel,
Pompey done moved up Norf thlee
months ago, and don't never expect tC
come back again. Now, go way" White
or black we are all the same.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION The Sci
entifc american contains the first an
nouncement of what may be the most
wonderful invention of the day, Edison's 5
photography. The New York Sun says
nothing could be more incredible than
the likelihood of once more hearing the
voice of the dead,yet the invention Of the
new instrument is said to render this pos
sible hereafter. 1t is true that the voices
are stilled, but whoever speaks into the
mouthpiece of the photograph, and whose
words are recorded by it, has the assur.
ance that his speech may be produced
audibly in his own tones after he himself
has turned to dust. A strip of indented
paper travels through little machine,
The sounds of the latter are magnitied
and positively continues. Hence, to
hear us as plainly as if we were present,
speech has become, as it were, immortal.

A GOOD old lady in this State once at

made neighborhood uncomfortable for
forty years. In the very ranks of the
villagers who we're present more than
twenty had been cut and hacked and

The WINDMILL IN DUTCH ART
Whole regiments of windmillS are con-
tinually at work, keeping the balauce
even between the inland and outward
water, pumping up that Of the low levels
sufficiently high to enable it to find an
exit into the sea. Besides this, they saw
wood, grind flour, crush linseed, etc, So
that it is no wonder that they hold 50
honorable place in Dutch art. 1t is
found that they only raise the water
proftably to height Of three or four
feet, so that when ten or twelve feet have
to be accomplished, three mills, in steps
one above another, are employed, each to
do its own share OF the work. There are
said to be nine thousand of these indus
trious slaves in Holland. And Amster-
dam would seem to be the very center of
the battalion. There is one in each an
gle of the now useless fortitications, and
they are sprinkled up and down all along
the outer canal. The town is the crown
of wonder of engineering skill, patient
labor, and untiring struggles with water
weather, and wind, for the whole place
is below the level of the sea. 1t has
struck its roots deep below, like a great
patient oak, and there is almost as much
material sunk beneath the feet as is to be
seen above the heads of the inhabitants
The ugly palace alone is built upon more
than seventy thousand piles.-EcIectic.

Is MARS INHABITED0-Is this neigh
boring world the abode of living Great
ures3 This question is beyond the present
power of science to answer. But would
it not be strange beyond expression if a
world, with land and water, and chang
ing seasons, and apparently all the con-
ditions required by life, so like our earth
that it is even possible that man could
exist upon its surface, should roll on
through the ages uninhabited and unen-
joyed! Our earth teens with life in its
remotest corner, yet some Martial astrono.
mer may at this moment be wondering
what is the use Of us, and whether our
planet is the abode of intelligent beings.
After the wonders that science has al
ready achieved, he would be bold who
should say that this problem can never
be solved. Unfortunately, we cannot hope
for much from the improvement of our
telescopes and the increase of their mag
nifying power. The disturbances pro-
duced by our atmosphere are aggravated
by every such increase. But when the
problem of life in other worlds is solved
if it ever shall bet seems safe to say
that it will be by the attentive study Of
our Iear neighbCr.-1he GALAXY.

Coop WHIsKY.-If men will drink
whisky and by way of parenthesis we
say remark that some men persist in
doing so-they should always buy good
article one which is free from adultera-
tion and impurities. OF this particular
kind, Mr.. NJ. Lang has just received a
very largo shipment direct from the
Bonded Warehouse, ard as it has not
passed through the hands OF jobbers it
may be depended upon as pure article.
Good judges who have given it fair tri-
al, say it is the best Whisky ever brought
to this county. Lang is prepared 20 fill
orders for any quantity desired, as will
be seen by reference to advertisement.

The Season OF Intermitten m IL.

All miasmatic complaints, in other
words, all disorders generated By un-
wholesome exhalations, from the earth
or water, are prevalent at this season. In
every section subject to the visitation of
fever and ague, or other forms of inter-
mittent disease, the causes which pro-
duce these maladies are now actively at
work. This, therefore, is period of the
year when the inhabitants OF such dis
tricts should prepare their systems to
meet the unwholesorae condition of the
atmosphere by u course of tonic and al
terative treatment. Foremost among the
invigorants, recommended by time and
experience rs means of fortifying the
system against all endemic and epidemic
maladies, stands Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. BY timely use of the Bitters,
the teeblest resident Of an unhealthy soil
may escape the sickness which, without
the aid of this potent ally of nature, will
be apt 10 overtake the strongest.
