FENCE OR NO FENCE.

On this subject, correspondent of the
Lancaster Ledger, writing from the Fort Mill
neighborhood in York county, says:
"In February of last year the ball was put
in motion, and number of landowners
signed a written agreement to test the merits
of no fence by actual experience. The line
which we now have was constructed by a
committee appointed for the purpose. This
line extends from Doby's Bridge on Sugar
creek westward to the North Carolina line.
To pay the expenses of constructing the fence
on the line an assessment was made upon all
the real estate owners in the boundary, ac-
cording to amount owned and benefit received.
Before this plan was adopted, persons who
had poor fences were annoyed continually
with stock roaming at large over the country,
and not unfrequently were stock mutilated
for their depredations upon the growing
crops. Whether man has a lawful fence or
not, he will not stand by and see cattle de-
stroy his hard labor-and whether shooting
or dogging stock was lawful or not, no person
could reasonably blame him. There was some
objection to testing the no fence plan when
first inaugurated, but after giving it a short
trial every person within the hounds was
highly pleased with it. We now have no
trouble with our neighbors; no shooting of
COWS and no hard feelings as before. The
present system saves US great amount OF
labor on fences, and which we can pro6tably
devote to the making of manure, &c. Those
who once try the no fence plan will never g.
back to old fogy ideas"

USEFUL AND CHEAP-The unpleasant
odor produced by perspiration is frequently
the source of vexation to persons who are
subject to it. Nothing is simpler than to re-
move this odor much more efectually than
by the application of such unguents and per-
fumes as are in use. 1t is only necessary to
procure some of the compound spirits of am
monia, and place about two tablespoonful in
a basin of water Washing the face, hands
and arms with this leaves the skin as clean,
sweet and fresh as one could wish. The wash
is perfectly harmless and very cheap. 1t is
recommended on the authority of an expe-
rienced physician. A bottle of ammonia is
also one of the most necessary things to have
always on hand. 1t will remove grease or
soiled spots from almost any goods without
injury, is invaluable in cleaning all woolen
goods, and one of the very best washing fluids
is made of equal parts of ammonia and tur-
pentine. 1t makes rubbing the clothes almost
unnecessary, and also makes them very white
without making them tender. House plants
are stimulated in their growth and blooming
by watering them with warm water, to which
is added little ammonia. Two spoonfuls to
quart of water is sufficient.

GOODWILL

Here is a golden saying from the lips of A.
T. Stewart, man who in fifty years amassed
more than fifty millions of dollars:
II consider honesty and truth as great aids
in the gaining of fortune"
If such man, with such wealth, should 60
still further, and make goodwill to his fellow
men the leading motive of his life, what a
power he might become, and what halo of
glory would crown his name!
All my boys, what world it would be, if
this spirit prevailed in it-if on every side we
met those ready to help and cheer, instead of
being compelled always to be on our guard
against sel6shness and fraud Now, every
one can do his share toward making his own
little world such world. I have known q
single brave, manly, generous boy to influence
whole school, So that it became noted for its
good manners and good. morals. have also
seen vicious boy taint whole community
of boys with his bad habits, and set them to
robbing orchards and birds nests, torturing
Younger children and dumb animals, using
bad language and tobacco, and doing hun
dred other things which they foolishly mistake
for fun.
Goodwill should begin at home. How
quickly you can tell what sort of spirit relgns
among the boys or in the families you visit q!
In some houses there is constant warfare; at
any time of day, you hear loud voices and
angry disputes. q,
"You snatched my apple and eat it upP
"Touch that trap ag'in, Tom Orcutt, and
I'll give ye somethiu' ye cant buy to the
'pothecarys"
"Ma shant Sam stop pullin' my hair
He's pulled out six great handfuls already y
"He lies I ha mt touched his halrP
"Who's been stealin' my but'nuts ?"
"Pete shot my arrow into the well-and
now shan't he make me another"
Then 90 into house where you find peace
instead Of war, innocent and happy sports in
stead of rude, practical jokes-and, on what
difference!
You may always tell boys disposition by
noticing his treatment of his sisters A mean
and cruel boy delights in tyranizng over
smaller children but in the presence fstrong-
er boys, he can be civil, and even cringlng.
A cowardly fellow like that is pretty sure to
exercise his ill-nature upon the girls at home.
Now, l know that many of the boys am
talking to have far more goodwill than they
ever show. Their ,disagreeable ways are the
result of long habit and want Of thought
The spoiled child is pretty sure to form sush
