Clean, Pure Water.

In 1854 dug my we'll nearly twenty
two feet deep, and struck a strong stream
of water. l walled up three feet, and put
two lead pipes in, arched it over and stood
the pipes up by the dug wall. then put
the dirt which had taken out back into
the we'll. | then attached cast iron
pump to the larger pipe, and left the small
one to give air in case the water did not
come into the well as fast as it was pump
ed out. 1t is over 80 years since, and |
have pump in one corner of my kitchen,
which brings up clear, pure water as at
first. l saved the stone and walling of IS
feet, and have none of the soaking and
filth off the surface of the earth | have
no cats, rats, mice, snakes, frogs, or thous-
and other things which are liable to get
into wells. My son has pump fixed sim.
liar to mine, but his is common wooden
pump, and out of doors. The air pipe
should go up by the stock, and make
hole in it, so as to let the water down in
cold weather. The lower stock will last
almost without limit, and it would be an
easy matter to put the upper one in Cor.

DON'T BE Too Observation-Disclosures
you do, never set up for a critic. We don't
mean newspaper one, but in private life,
in the domestic circle, in society. 1t will
not do any one good, and it may do you
harm--if you mind being called disagreea-
BILE. If you don't like any ones nose or
object to any ones chin, don't put your
feelings into words. If any ones manners
don't please you, remember your own.-
People are not all made to suit one taste;
recollect that. Take things as you find
them, unless you can alter them. Even a
dinner, after it is swallowed, cannot be
made any better. Continual fault-finding.
continual criticism of the conduct of this
one and the speech of that one, the dress
of the other, and the opinion of t'other,
will make home the unhappiest place under
the sun. If you are never pleased with
any one, no one will be pleased with you.
And if it is known you are hard to suit,
few will take pains to suit you.

Handle the Colts.

The horse submits to mans authority for
the reason that he is made to believe man
is the stronger. He is kind and tractable
from being treated kindly and handled
lovingly. What Il horse is once taught,
no matter how young, it meyer forgets.-
When the colt is running by its mothers
side it can best be taught valuable lessons.
Mans strength can easier overcome it.
The more you talk to and handle a colt,
the more it will know and the kinder it
will be. No one should ever permit colt
to have the mastery in strength, consequent
ly small boys should not handle them un-
til the colt is entirely subdued in this re-
spect. Nor should a colt be ever hitched
or led by halter which he can break If
he once learns he can break his halter
it will take years to cure him of the fault,
if it is ever cured. But by kind handling
and playing with them-which any one
can enjoy who has heart within him
they will ever after be easily caught, kind
in service and more trusting in danger or
difficulty, Now is the season of the year
to attend to this matter.

LEGEND OF THE JAsMINE.-We are told
that duke of Tuscany was the first posses.
sor OF this pretty shrub in Europe; and he
was so jealousy fearful lest others should en-.
JOY what he alone wished to possess. that
strict injunctions were given to his gardener
not to give slip, not so much as a SINGLE
flower, to any person. To this command
the gardener would have been faithful, had
not love wounded him by the sparkling
eye of fair but portionless peasant. whose
want of little dowry, and his poverty,
alone kept them from the hymeneal altar
On the birthday of his mistress he present
ed her with nosegay, and to render the
bouquet more acceptable, ornamented it
with branch of jasmine. The pouera
.fgIta, wishing to preserve the bloom of
this new flower, put it into fresh earth, and
the branch remained green all the year.
In the following spring it grew, and was
covered with flowers. 1t flourished and
multiplied 50 much under the fair nymph's
cultivation, that she was able to amass n
little fortune from the sale of the precious
gilt which love had made her, when, with
a sprig of jasmine in her breast, she be-
slowed her hand and wealth on the bappy
gardener of her heart. And the Tuscan
girls, to this day, preserve the remembrance
of this adventure, by invariably wearing a
nosegay of jasmine on their wedding day;
and they have proverb which saws Young
girl worthy of wearing this nosegay is rich
enough to make the fortune of good hus.

DON'T LOSE MINUTE,-Keep busy.
The man who has nothing to do is the
most miserable of beings. Ifyou have no
regular work, do chores as farmers do when
it rains too hard to work in the field. In
occupation we forget our troubles, and get
q respite from sorrow. The man whose
mind and hands are busy finds no time to
weep and wall. If work is slack, spend
your time in reading. The hardest stud
ents in the world are the old men who
know the most. you lack books, there
are free or very cheap libraries, at least in
cities, at your command. The man who
does not acquire some item Of useful infor-
nation between day break and bedtime
must mournfully say, with the Roman EN-
peror, 81 have lost day."

USEFUL INFoRMATIoN.-One thousand
laths will cover seventy yards of surface,
and eleven pounds of nails will put them
on.
A cord of stone, three bushels of lime.
and cubic yard of sand, will lay one hun
bred cubic feet of wall.
Eight bushels of good lime, sixteen
bushels of sand, and one bushel of hair,
will make enough good mortar to plaster
one hundred square yards.
One thousand shingles, laid four inches
to the weather, will cover one hundred
SQUARE feet of surface, and five pounds of
single nails will fasten them on.
One-ffth more siding and flooring is
needed than the number of square feet of
surface to be covered, because of the lap
in the siding and matching of the floor.
Five courses of brick will lay one foot
in height on a chimney; six bricks in a
course will make flue four inches wide
and twelve inches long, and eight bricks
in course will make flue eight inches
wide and sixteen inches long.

The Better and.
W hear thee speak of the better land;
Thou calPst its children q happy band;
Mother, OH where is that radiant shore?
Shall we not seek it, and weep no more?
Is 1t where the flower of the orange blows,
And the-fire flies dance through the myrtle
boughs ?"
'Not there, not there, my child /"
us 1t rhere the feathery palm-trees rise,
and the date grows ripe under sunny Skies
Or midst the green islands ofglittering seas
Where fragrant forests perfume the breeze,
And strange bright birds on their starry wings
Bear the rich hues of all glorious things?"
mot there, not there, my child"
I'll is far away, in some region old,
Where the rivers wander DER sands ofgod-
Where the burning rays of the ruby shine,
And the diamond lights up the secret mine,
And the pearl peeps forth from the coral
strand
Is it there, sweet mother, that better land ?"
mot there, not there, my child ~
"Eye hath not seen it, my gentle boy;
Ear hath not heard its deep songs of joy;
Dreams can not picture a world so fair;
Sorrow and death may not enter there;
Time doth not breathe on its fadeless bloom,
For beyond the clouds and beyond the tomb,
1t is there, it is there, my child!"

The Song of the Mill.

When summer airs are fresh and sweet
And clover blossoms new,
And birds rejoice, and young lambs bleat,
And skies are clear and blue
How merrily the mill goes round,
How merrily goes the mill,
AS the hopper clacks with a heavy sound,
And echoes DER the hill
When age sits shivering by the fire,
And wintry wolds are white,
And youth doth chill his warm desire,
And frosty north winds bite
Still merrily the mill goes round,
And merriy goes the mill,
As the hopper clacks with a CHEEKY sound
When all the world is still.
We know no strife that plaques the great,
No care that kills the small;
We live above the reach of fate,
And therefore fear no fall:
SO merrily the mill goes round
SO merrily goes the mill,
As the hopper clacks with CHEEKY sound,
And rings across the hill

Music AND PLANTs.-A scientist insists
that musical sounds stimulate the growth
of plants. He gives an instance in point.
In a barren section of Portugal he built a
small conservatory, and endeavored to cul-
tivate roses and other flowers under shell
ter, but in spite of his precaution and in
dustry, they did not flourish. One day he
took harmonium into the greenhouse
and played for several hours. This prac-
tice he maintained for several months, and
was surprised to see gradual but rapid
recovery of health on the part ofhis plants.
He attributes their improvement TO the in
tluence of music, and unfolds the theory
that the singing of birds is conducive of
vegetable life. 1t is pretty theory. Let
the honest gardener hereafter whistle as he
waters his plants and trims his roses
Let the pianos he moved from drawing
room to greenhouse, and let the young
ladies of the family practice there. Let
the small farmers hire all the organ grind
ers to make music in their cornfields all
the glad summer long. Let the brass
bands be sent into the wilderness until it
blossoms like the rose.

a gentleman of the neighborhood who
wishes to bring water to his house in this
way from spring at some little distance
Theoretically there is no difficulty in the
way, if the elevation be not too great, but
the experience of trial is reported as gen.
orally discouraging. This results probably
from imperfect Jennings, which should if
possible be perfectly air tight.

"THE DIPPER."-A Constellation about
to Dissolce Partnership.-The breaking up
of the constellation of the Clipper" is
prophesied in an article by Prof Richard
A. Proctor. The professor finds logical
reason for his belief in the motion of the
stars composing the constellation, and illus.
trates these with careful diagrams of his
own. In one map the Dipper is shown
as it was 100000 years ago, and in another
as it will be 100000 years hence. Five OF
the seven stars, the professor claims, form
one family and travel together; but the
other two have distinct motions of theil
own, and are slowly drifting out of theil
relative positions in the Dipper.- Taunton
