KEEPING APPLEs.-A correspondent
asks us how he can keep his winter
apples unlil late in the spring, say to
the end of May. There is but one an
swer to make: First the apples must be
good keepers, free from bruise or blem-
ish. Second they must be spread out
on shelves or packed in barrels: and
kept in an atmosphere of from 40 to 80
better from 40 to 45-that is, at tcm-
perature as equable as possible. Some
cellars are just the thing and preserve
them beautifully. Others are too moist.
Where this is the case, few bushels Of
stone lime should be used. Sliding
shelves, six inches apart. latticed bottom
with single layer of fruit, are ex-
tremely convenient, as they allow of
constant examination without disturb
ing the fruit. A friend informed us
some years ago that with large stand
of these shelves in his cellar, with few
inches of lime on the bottom of the
cellar, he kept his apples into May in
perfect condition and good flavor

THE EVILS OF POVERTY.

The lessons taught through want are
not always ennobling. and there is
limit to poverty beyond which is dismay
and well-nigh utter despair. Dickens,
even after years and years of prosperity,
could never bear to recall the frighttul
privations he endured in boyhood, and
shrank as if mortally hurt when any al
lusion was made to certain "reminiscences
of the past, of which extreme poverty
was the central figure. There were an
niversaries and scenes which he could
never recall without shudder, and
some passages in his life which, to his
dying day, brought a sad, panied look to
his face. Constant deprivation makes
of any life curse, and forces many hu-
man beings to live mere automaton ex-
istences. They would, if they could,
all of them, perhaps, escape the evil,
but the weight is upon them, the mill
stone is about their necks. and there is
nothing left them but stole Indifference.
The blessings of savory food, sunny
homes, books, pictures, the opportunities
of doing good and Of making others hap
py are not to be too lightly estimated,
and cruel is the cause that shuts all of
them out. Life was not designed to
disappoint every aspiration, but to ena-
BILE it to expand, and any condition
which smothers aspiration or blights the
possibilities of ones nature is terrible
misfortune, should be accepted as moth
ing less, and should be manfully COM
batted. In accepting poverty as a mis-
fortune-yea, even as a curse-we ac-
quire power to compass it, and better,
far better is life of ceaseless combat
than the sickening sense of continued
deprivation. The honest accumulation
or acquiring of money is an inspiring
and elevated employment, and it is de-
signed that all should participate in the
general work which secures its blessings.
The can't of those who assert that the
possession of money is curse is to be
passed by in contempt. 1t is only such
when devoted to unworthy ends. and
none prove so much as then the need of
money in early life, that advantages
which broaden the soul may not be lost.
Rush lights are good enough for those
who want no better, but the world would
be far more beautiful place if astral
lamps were everywhere-if for every
man on earth there was home and
plenty. 1t must be that in ages to come
when the world has learned to appreci-
ate the hopelessness of progress through
want, that the poverty Of the people will
be lightened through combined effort,
and that all men thinking best of them
selves will lend wise aid to those who
must be set above its control. 1t is a
step far beyond us, so far that its reali-
zation is almost useless to predict, but it
will come; for until the curse is lifted
the children of men cannot pursue the
course marked out in the beginning.
There can be no fulfilling of the law OF
progress otherwise, for poverty. as Shell
ley tell US, shows that

HARVEST HYMN.
BY ]. @. WHITTIER.

Once more the liberal year laughs out
Der richer stores than gems or gold:
Once more with harvest song and shout
Is Natures bloodless triumph told.
Our common mother rests and sings
Like Ruth among her garnered sheaves;
Her lap is full of goodly things.
Her brow is bright with autumn leaves.
o favours old, yet ever new
o blessings with the sunshine sentl
The bounty overruns our due,
The fullness shames our discomfort.
We shut our eyes. the flowers bloom on.
We murmur, but the corn ears fill;
We choose the shadow, but the sun
That casts it shines behind us still.
God gave us with our rugged soil
The power to make it Eden fair,
And richer fruit 10 crown our toll
Than summer-wedded islands bear.
Who murmurs at his lot to-day?
Who scorns his native fruit and bloom.
Or sighs for dainties far away,
Beside the bounteo board of home?
Thank Heaven. instead, that freedoms arm
Can change a rocky soil to gold:
That brave and generous lives can warm
A cline with northern ices cold.
And by these affairs wreathed with flowers.
And fields of fruits, awake again
Thanksgiving for the golden hours,
The early and the latter rain.

FLESH WoUNDs.-Every person should
know how to treat fesh-wound, be-
cause one is liable to be placed in cir
cumstances away from surgical and
veterinary aid, where he may save his
own life, the life of friend or of
beast, simply by the aid of little COM
nonsense. In the irst place, close the
lips of the wound with the hands and
then hold them firmly together to check
the flow of blood until several stitches
can be taken and bandage applied.
Then bathe the wound for a long time
in cold water. "Should it be painful" !"
correspondent says. stake a painful of
burning Goals and sprinkle them upon
common brown sugar, and hold the
wounded part in the smoke. In min
ute or two the pain will be allayed, and
recovery proceeds rapidly. In my case
rusty nail had made bad wound in
my foot. The pain and nervous irrita-
tion were severe. This was all remov-
ed by holding it in smoke fifteen min
utes, and l was able to resume my read
ing in comfort. We have often recon-
mended it to others with like result.
Last week one of my men had fin
ger-nail torn out by pair of ice-tongs.
1t became very painful, as was to be ex-
peeted. Held in sugar-smoke twenty
minutes. the pain ceased. and promised
speedy recovery"

.wE NEED MORE MONEY"

"We need more money" is the constant
cry of the infationists. Most of those
who start this cry, and many who join
in it, would never have any money were
it never SO plenty. Though labor be
ever SO plenty and its price ever SO high.
some people will never have cent, or if
they do once IN while it is very soon
gone. The race of the idle and thrift
less-those who do not diligently earn
and do not saye what they do earn-never
dies out. Money, on the other hand, is
never idle if it can help it. When mon
ey is idle its idleness Is enforced. Mon
ey hates idleness. Yet there is more
than 100000, 900 in the country to- day
lying idle. There is more idle money
than idle men in the country. There is
more money than men seeking employ
ment to-day. Why is this money idle? !?
There is not $10O, or $1,000, or
@1UO,OOU, VI p U1,OOO,OOOs VI duJ OluOA
sum lying idle in the country to-day that
would not 60 to work if it could. There
is no demand for it; that is the reason
why it is idle. Why don't these men who
clamor for imitation, who demand two
fold issue of currency, take this idle
money and put it to work? Why don't
they borrow it and give it employment ?
Clearly the business needs of the country
do not yet require it. There is no de-
mand for it. Legitimate business has
no use for it. Any of those men who
are clamoring for more money could bor-
row this $2OO,OOO,OO of idle money, or
any part of it, if they would put up the
collaterals, and it would be only too glad
to get into their hands and get to work.
If there were $2,0O0,oO0,O0o in the
country they could not get a dollar of it
without earning it or giving security for
its return in as good and healthy con-
dition as that in which it was received.

DIVES AND LAZARUS.

A rich man, Dives, clothed in linen fine,
FaIed every day on sumptuous meats and wine.
A loathsome begger, at the rich mans gate,
(Named Lazarus,) crouched, for aims importunate.
In futterng rags he lay. and full of sores.
Foul and forlorn, and spurned from all mems doors.
No earthly hope had he, nor was he able
To win a crumb from off the rich mans table.
Stones for his bed, the dogs his only nurse
Famished and sick, could any fate be worse?
The beggar died, to Heaven by angels carried.
Died also Dives, and with pomp was buried.
And lifting up his eyes from Helrs unrest,
Saw Lazarus, afar. on Abraham's breast,
And cried aloud, 30 Father Abraham,
seest thou the dire distress in which am?
Send, in thy pity, Lazarus, pray,
With cooling drops my burning thirst to allay.
My bed of torment scorches like an ember."
But Abraham replied, "My son, remember,
Thou, in thy lifetime, hadst thy days of ease,
While he had naught but hunger and disease.
But now, In Hell, thou art tormented thus,
While Heavens high joys are given 10 Lazarus
Besides 'twixt us and thee there lies, alas,
A yawning gulf, nor thou nor he may pass"
Then Dives said. "still on earth allye
Within my fathers house, are brethren five;
Father Abraham. of thy ptying grace,
Let Lazarus warn them from this dreadful place."
Then Abraham said, they have the prophets old,
And Moses law the sacred books unfeld."
"Yea Father" Dives said, "but if one went
Unto them from the dead they will repent
"Nay," Abraham said "If these they will not hear
In vain for them the dead shall reappear."
