"My son, my son." mildly ex-
claimed a reproving Lewis street

cat from the gate latch; take in

The boy said he wasn't prepared
to answer just then, but he would,
insist on throwing out the report
OF the school teacher on the ground,

intimidsted from attending school
by the terror of long, hard lessons.
and further by the practice of bull

establish By reliable Witnesses
Pending the decision of the board.
he filed a number of protests; but
his mother pronounced his attitude
revolutionary, and sent to his faith

about tea time, and the local gov
ernment was at once enforced and,
as the boy went up to bed without
any supper, and in custody of the
troops, throes of free people,
struggling in the iron grasp of
domestic 'despotism. could be heard

Lime has no fertility in ITSELF,
and is only valuable where the land
contains no lime, as natural con-
stituent Of the SOIL. 1t acts chem
ically on neutralizing acid sub
stances and decomposing and
changing into vegetable matter so
as to be beneficial to vegetation.
It should be applied to to lands
when plowed and narrowed in, at
the rate of 10 to so bushels to the
acre according to whether the land
contains lime in greater or less de-
gree. A clay sod turned over in
the fall, and well lined, would pro-
duce a good crop Of corn or pota-
toes in the. next season. Lime is
useful in compost heapes where
there is quantity of undecompos-
ed vegetable matter: but it is in
furious to mix with rotten manures,
as its tendency is to cause the am
monia to be set free and scape into
the atmosphere. 9o rn

Peter Stanwood was q book

keep square with the world, and
who consider themselves particu-
larly fortunate if they keep out of
debt. be was now thirty years of
age, and had three children to pro-
vide for, besides himself and wife.
and this together with his house
rent, was plenty; but now there
was nothing.
"Maria," STOPPING and gazing
his wife in the face, "we must
starve. I lave not a single penny
in the world"

again tomorrow for work. You
may find something to do. Any

let the matter pass.
On the following morning, the
last bit of food in the house wa:
put on the table. Stanwood could
hardly realize that he was penni'
less and without food.
For years he had been gay
thoughtless and fortunate, making
the most Of the present, forgetting
tho past, apd letting the future
take care Of itself. But the truth
was naked and clear, and when h
left the house he said, Something
