How to Blow Out a iamp.

How to blow out a kerosene lamp is
a question of no little Importance to
the thousands of our readers who
use the dangerous fluid for illuminat-
ing purposes. We therefore copy what
a correspondent of the Schenectady
Union has to say on the subject: You
recently inquired how a kerosene lamp
is to be extinguished without danger.
The following is a safe plan to follow
Turn down the wick until the flame is
low, then blow across, not into the top
of the chimney, with quick puff, and
the thing is done. One reason why no
more accidents are occasioned by blow
ing out such lamps is that the top of
the chimney is seldom blown directly
into, the breath usually striking it at
an angle, and its force being spent be-
fore it reaches the flame, which is ex-
tinguished by the conclusion of the
air. Some styles of chimney permit of
their being raised at the bottom, when
very slight puff is sufficient to put
out the flame, as it is away from and
not towards the gas which arises from
the oil. The more volatile the oil, the
greater the danger of course.

FARM AND FIRESIDE..
The Valley Mill.

The run ming stream, and the busy mill,
In fancy think hear them still;
And the old gray walls seem in view,
Beyond the bridge that so well knew;
But sweeter the charm that brings them near
Tor the friends who met by the green bank here.
The wheels and the burrs 60 humming round,
And ill the vale with pleasant sound,
While clear and strong on the brssz without
L catch the tones of Joyous shout,
As loving hand gives welcome there,
And nay boys bright face is balm Tor care.
The mill goes on, and the wagons wait,
But Strangers hand Is on the gate;
The waters TALL as they of yore,
And the grist still stands on the oaken floor;
Bat the traders new who come and go,
Are none OF the people We used TO know.
The quaint old mill is to me thrice fair,
And my spirit loves TO linger there;
Bat the vision oft is dimm'd by tears,
For heavy shade on the scene appears,
For the sweet young form / more

Garden Hints.

Says the Country Gentleman: In SOW
ing either vegetable or flower seeds,
there arp some leading requisites which
must not be overlooked. The soil
should be in right condition, or dry
enough to be we'll pulverized, and not
left wet, to form clods. 1t is better to
defer work some days than to be annoyed
the whole season with baked soil. or
hard Jumps. Much depends on the pre-
vious condition of the ground; if old
manure and vegetable mould have been
fully applied and well mixed in, they
viii tend to give fine friable soil.
In sowing the seed of vegetables, three
chief cautions must be attended to: l, to
have fine mellow soil; >, to cover shall
low, and not too deep; and 3, except for
the hardest sorts, to wait till the soil is
warm.
l. The Importance of finely pulver-
lied soils obvious.
2. The more shallow the covering, pro-
vided the moist condition of the seed is
preserved, the sooner and more certainly
the plants will come up. Seeds must
have the three requisites for growth-of
air, moisture and warmth. II buried
deep they cannot get air As general
rule, they should never be covered
deeper than four or five times their di-
ameter. We have known seeds of differ
ent kinds buried by ignorant gardeners
several inches deep when they should
not have been over an inch, or an inch
and half at the most. They were be-
yond the reach of air, and did not come
up; the scotsman was denounced for
fraud. In one instance neighbor had
buried his beet seed four or five inches
deep, as he thought, with great care,
and none made their appearance, to his
disappointment. The remaining seeds
from the same package were then GOV.
cred an inch, and the plants came up in
thick profusion
3. Hardy vegetables, like peas, may
be planted as early as the soil will ad
nit. Tender sorts, as beans and corn,
would rot if planted too early, and must
be left till the soil is warm. The same
precautions must be observed with
flower seeds. Those which are hardy,
and which the frost will not easily kill
in autumn, may be put in earlier than
such as are cut by frost.
Thorough drainage is one of the most
important requisites for successful gar
dening. Wet feet will spoil any plant
Asparagus beds are sometimes killed by
water below the surface. A cold, wet
subsoil cannot produce early or good
crops.

Turtles Eggs.

Turtles eggs are held in great esteem
wherever they are found, as well by Eu-
ropeans as Others. They have a very
soft shell, and are about the size of a
pigeons egg. The mother turtles Law
thrice a year, at intervals of two or three
weeks, depositing in one night as many
as hundred at laying. An expert
enced eye and hand are required to de-
tect the eggs, as they are always ingeni-
ously covered up with sand; but. when
they are hunted, very few escape. The
Oronoco Indians obtain from these eggs
kind of clear, sweet oil, which thew use
instead OF butter. In the month of Feb
ruary, when the high waters of the Orc
noco have receded, millions of turtles
come on shore to deposit their eggs. The
certainty and abundance of the harvest
is such that it is estimated by the acre.
The yearly gathering about the mouth
of the river alone is about five thousand
jars of oil, and it takes five thousand eggs
to make jar.

EASTER n ORNING.
BY FRANCES MACE.

Osteral spirit of spring time,
Awake from thy slumbers deep!
Arisei and with hands that are glowing
Put off the white garments OF sleep!
Make myself fair, o goddess!
In new and respondent array,
For the footsteps OF Him who has risen
Shall be he2i d in the dawn of day.
Flushes the trailing arbutus
Low under the forest leaves
A sigu that the drossy goddess
The breath Of her Lord perceives.
While He suffered, her pulse beat numbly;
While He slept she was still with pain;
But now He awakes-He has risen
Her beauty shall bloom again.
0 bark in the budding woodlands,
Now far, now near, is heard
The first prelusive MARBLE
OF rivulef and Of bird.

From every bough is poured.

Far down on the hill-tops she losses

Till earth is all rosy and radiant
For the feet Of the new-risen King.
Open the gates of the Temple;
Spread branches OF palm and of bay;
Let not the spirits Of nature
Alone deck the Conquerers way.
While spring from her death sleep arises
And joyous His presence awaits,
While mornings smile lights up the heavens,
Open the Beautiful Gates!
He is here! the long watches are over,
The stone from the grave rolled away.
=" We shall sleep" was the sigh OF the midnight
We shall rise!" is the song OF to-day.
