DRAWING THE LINE.-As the man was
harangung the crowd on the oppression
to the working people, an aged in
dividual with shovel on his shoulder
stepped up and demanded: "Let me
take look at your hands,"
Then, seizing the other paw and
gazing intently into its palm, the old
man looked up as he shook his head,
remarking:
"NOt blister-not callous."
The would be leader of "labor reform"
was not slow in departing from the
scene, while the venerable shovel
carrier chuckled as he said to his COM
paniOns:
"Fellows, there's where we've got
to draw the line-at blisters and
callouses."

THOMAS MEEHAS say : In managing a
vegetable garden the highest excellence
should be aimed at. This is the chief
source of pleasure in garden. If one
can take no pleasure in his garden-if
the watching of the beautiful processes
of nature in furnishing him food-and
the many lessons they teach him which
he in a thousand ways can so pleasur-
ably and profitably apply, have no
charms and attractions for him, he had
better give up gardening; for assuredly
in ninety-nine cases in one hundred the
market gardener will bring the vege-
tables TO his own door cheaper than he
can raise them. Amateur gardening
should primarily be pursued for the les
sons it teaches, and the pleasure il af-
fords; when it ceases to do this it should
be abandoned.

True Gentlemdn.-'I beg your pardon,
and with smile and touch of the hat
Harry Edmond handed to an old man
against whom he had accidently
stumbled, the cane which he had
knocked from his hand. Il hope l did
not hurt you. We were playing too
roughly
Not a bit, not bitl' said the old
man, cheerily. Boys will be boys, aud
it's best they should be. You didn't
harm me-
'Tm glad to hear it, and, lifting
his hat again, Harry turned TO join the
playmates with whom he had been
frOlicking at the time of the accident.
'What do you raise your hat to that
old fellow fOrr' asked his companion,
Charley Gray. Hes only old Giles,
the huckster.'
That makes no difference said
Harry. The question is not whether
he is gentleman, but whether am
one; and no true gentleman, will
be less polite to man because he wears
a shabby coat, or hawks vegetables
through the streets, instead of sitting in
a counting house.
Which was right?

PARTRIDGEs AND CoRN.-To show how
useful the beautiful and harmless par
fridge is, il is stated that flock of them
was seen running along the rows of
corn just sprouting, and seeing them
engaged at something which was be-
lieved to be pulling up the young
plants, one of them was killed and its
"crop" examined, which was found TO
contain one cut-worm, twenty-One
striped bugs and over one hundred
chinch-bugs. Another man says that
he has adopted measures 10 protect the
bird, and that they have become so nu-
merous and so tame that hundreds OF
them, after the snow falls, can be seen
in the barnyard with his fowls when
they are fed. As result of their pres
ence upon his premises, his wheat crops
were unusually abundant, while in
many other places not far off the chinch-
bug and other insects had destroyed
halfthe crop.

YOUTHS COLUMN.

A Little Prince.-I want to tell you
about prince | once saw, realprince.
Do YOU think he was guarded by a
company of soldiers, and dressed In
scarlet and gold, with waving plumes
on his head and sword in his hand
like the princes in fairy stories?
Then you will be disappointed; for
my little prince was three years old,
and wore white muslin dresses, and the
wind had blown his yellow hair about
till it fell in pretty tangle of fluffy
curls over his eyes and around his
shoulders.
His papa and mamma were having a
breakfast-party in the Retreat" q
beautiful reception-hall belonging TO
the grand duke (my princes father in
the park surrounding his castle.
This park is always open to visitors |;
and while L was sitting there under the
trees, the child came out of the hall
with his nurse, and as soon as he saw
me ne ran toward me, lifted his baby
face to mine, and lisped his greeting,
"Guten Tag" good d-morning), as polite
ly as his father could have done, and
then invited me to go with him to the
party! This l was obliged to decline,
but thanked the young prince heartily
for he honor paid me.
While we were talking, several lords
and ladies left the breakfast-roOm; and
after bidding me farewell, with a wave
of his hand, he ran off to join them.
Ii was so early in the morning that
there were few strangers in the park !;
but presently tiny girl appeared, toll
ing up the bank from the bridge below.
Her brown hair more tangled than
our princes curl, blew around her fore
head, her gown was of faded cotton,
and her little bare feet pattered along
over the sanded walks, while all her
thoughts were intent upon finding her
father, who was at work on the road far
beyond the park.
She was carrying him pail of soup
for his dinner; but hearing the joyous
laugh of the baby-prince, she stopped,
peered over the hedge to watch him
closer as he sat enthroned upon the lap
of the duchess, his mamma, when
suddenly turning his head, he caught
sight of her.
He slipped from the mothers arms,
maid. He took her hand in his, and be-
gan W ldlh III HIS bduS S-ldsuiOu.
The nurse hastened after him, but the
duchess, calling her back, went herself
towards the children, spoke kindly to
the little stranger, and passing through
the archway in the hedge, took her
boys other hand, and the three walked
away together.
1t was q pretty sight indeed-the
gracious lady, tall and fair, in robes of
silk and lace, the handsome boy, in his
dainty dress of white, and the poor lit
tie barefoot, with her brown earthen
pail on her arm, and her face quite
radiant with happiness.
They walked with her TO the end Of
the path, and when they had turned
back, she sped away as fast as her small
feet would carry her, not only to give
her father his dinner, but 10 relate her
adventure of walk with her prince.
Watching the gentle smile that lighted
the face of the duchess, l did not
wonder that she should be beloved as
she Is by high and low.
As for her son, he is not only a
princes, but little bob, kind and polite
to strangers, which perhaps is better
still. What do you think?

AGRICULTURE.

SUCCESSFUL DRAINING.-Hon.G George
Gedders, of Fairmount. New York.
recently showed us on his farm q field
of twelve acres or more which formerly
was cedar swamp, and before draining
could not be traversed without laying a
broad plank or board to walk on. The
drains were cut in the first place by
means of a plank to support the ditchers
until the water was sufficiently dis
charged to give them more solid foot
ing. The descent is considerably less
than one foot in hundred. The main
channels are made of six inch pipe tile ;
the smaller drains are two rods apart.
We drove over this field in a carriage,
and found il covered with luxuriant
growth of grass of several species,
among which June grass seemed TO take
the lead, the rich soil impartlng TO ii
something of the character which the
same plant assumes where il is known
as Kentucky blue grass. A flock of some
hundreds of sheep feeding upon it, had
not apparently made much impression.
The american Ddirymdn states that
there are four modes of making butter
in Brazil. The first is by putting the
MIX III cOullnOl DOWl, anu utsiliLS IL
with a spoon as you would an egg; the
second, by pouring the milk into bot
tie and shaking il till the butter ap-
pears, when it is removed by breaking
of the top of the bottle, as bottles are
valueless in that part OF South America
on account of the vast number imported
with foreign fruits and liquids; the
third, where the dairy is more exten-
sive, is performed by filling hide with
milk, which is Justify shaken by an ath-
letic native at each end until butter is
produced; the fourth, indicating vast
progress over and beyond any of the
preceding methods, consists in dragging
the hide or leathern vessel filled with
milk, on the ground after galloping
horse until it is supposed the butter is
formed. The milk is never strained and
the butter never washed.

MADE OIFPERENCE.-Recent a
young man of about 20, nearly envelOped
in a linen duster, was wandering
through the City Hall with his Mary
Ann, and he was several times over
heard to saw:
"Mary, I'd die for you,-would, for
fact"
After seeing the various rooms, he
left her on the steps while he hunted
around for place to buy soda water.
In crossing tie street he was run into
by veloeipede, and he got up yelling
like an Indian. The officer on duty at
the Hall ran down and asked HIM if he
was hurt.
"Hurt! Pm all mashed to kindlingsn'
was the reply.
"But 1 heard you say you were will
ing to die for the girl in the gray dress
up there"
81 don't keer penny for what ye
heard!" exclaimed the young man, as
he danced around on one leg. 81 want
you to understand that there's just as
much difference tween dying for the
gal you love and colludin' with two
wheeled sulky as there is tween a

HUMOROUS.

WAVING THE QUEsrION.-lt was amid
the breakers at Rye Beach, and he held
her hand as the rolling surf came in,
and they let it dash its pillows around
them waist-deep, when pretty thought
occurred to him, and, turning his back
to the surf, he said something about
''the envious billews encircling her
waist" and then, as he squeezed her
dripping palm, felt embOldened TO ask,
''Should you not always like to have
this hand to lead you-?" just then
a big roller, which he had not calculated
for, came in, and he was rudely carried
shoreward, over and over,-a suspicious
sound, as of feminine laughter, rising
above the rattle of the shingle and the
retreating billows, as he rose TO his feet
with his eyes full of beach-sand and
salt water, and one of those great
clammy bits of sea-weed that the boys
call DEVILS apron clinging around his
neck.
1t required nearly quarter of an
hour TO get rid of the embarrassment of
the affair and the sand in his ears; and
when that was accomplished, and he
was again at her side, and ventured TO
remark THAT he had propounded an
interogatory,"-
81 know it," she replied, "but l
thought the question was waved"
just then he had TO jump for another
roller, and then guessed he had stayed
in long enough.
