Apple Orchards.

A farmer thus speaks of the profits in
keeping good apple orchards: 1--WE
GROW fruit as of old, but apples are but
What cranberries used to be here, a
fruit of second importance, while cram
berries seem to be regarded as first.
We have two citizens among us who,
together, make about 5000 barrels of
cider per year, of which two-thirds is
made from apples brought here from
the West at q cost of forty cents per
bushel, and sometimes at a still higher
cost. One looks upon the beautiful
hills and sees the brown soil and gran
lite powders which indicate the true nat
ural soil for apple trees, and wonders
how it is that, instead of the orchards
teeming with fruit, the soil is 50 neg
lected that three acres will not sustain
a COW in summer. VIM. Cobbett said
of our climate and soil that one acre to
the COW could be made to be abundant.
and with small farmers in England and
Belgium il is. The day of gold at 260,
and farmers boys in shoe shops at
three dollars per day, is past. The
store in the center of the town is filled
with regrets since golden days are past,
and taxes are heavy in proportion to
income; work, too, is scarce. There
are many young persons who bemoan
their fate, and wish for the times of ten
years ago over again. Many of these
grow apples, or help their parents to
do SOTO very small extent. The
orchards of 1920 to 1850 are old, bar
rem, worthless, and there are no new
ones to take their places. Why not

Apples of Gold in pictures of silver.

GA word fifty spoken is like apples of gold
in pictures of silver When the body be-
comes diseased, the mind is thereby necessa
rily Influenced. National wars, State dissen-
sions, neighborhood broils, and family differ
ences, are more frequently than otherwise the
result of diseased and disordered constitu-
tions. When the body is suffering, the mind,
acting in sympathy, will become irritated and
perpleXed When the physical system is in
health, the mind perceives things in their true
light, and the disposition assumes very diff
ferent phase. Nothing more directly tends to
destroy the happy, cheerful disposition of a
woman, and render her peevish, nervous and
fretful, than a constant endurance of uterine
disorders. The diseases peculiar to woman
take away the elasticity and buoyancy Of
health and. reduce her body and mind to a
mere wreck. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton is real peacentaker in family. No
woman suffering from uterine disorders can
afford to be without this remedy. The Favor
tie Prescription saves unnecessary doctor bills,
prevents divorces, wards off suicides, brings
back buoyant, joyous feelings, restores the
woman to health and her family to happiness.

THE GUEST.
Speechless sorrow sat with me,

Lamp and fire were out; the rain
Wildly beat the window pane.
In the dark we heard knock,
And hand was on the lock:
One in waiting spoke to me,
Saying sweetly:
" am come to sup with thee"
All my room was dark and damp:
Sorrow" said |, trim the lamp;
Light the fire and cheer thy face;
Set the guest chair in its place.
And again heard the knock;
In the dark found the lock.

Enter, stranger!
Who art come to sup with me-"
Opening wide the door he came,
But could not speak his name;
In the guest chair took his place,
But could not see his facet
When my cheerful fire was beaming,
When my little lamp was cleaning,
And the feast was spread for three,
Lo! my Master
Was the guest that supped with me

A County Parson writes to the N. Y
Tribune, that if Congress coins a Silver
dollar worth ninety cents, lie hopes they
will have the grace not to putin God nc
Trust" on it. Since Deuteronomy. xxxv,
1912 declares, thou shalt not have in thy
bag divers weights, a great and small,
but thou shalt have perfect and a just
weight, &c. On the contrary Congress
ought to put that motto on the coins and
no other, since it would mean Here are
ninety cents, you must trust to God for
the balance"
