A Boy WITH A HEART.-The other day
bit of boy called at the side door of a
good-looking Detroit residence and told
such a sorrowful story that the lady of the
house was not stingy in throwing provis-
ions into his basket, Happening to look
into the front yard after few minutes,
she saw the strange boy mixed up with
her three or four children, and she called
out
"Boy what are you doing there 2"
"Feedin' these half-starved children" he
promptly replied.
"But those are my children" she indig-
nantly exclaimed.
"Makes no difference to me-" he said as
he broke off another piece of cake. "When
| find Il young 'un cryin' for bread, and
ready to swear that he hasn't tasted pie for
over year, Pm goin' to stop business and
brace him up. Haven't you got clean
white waist which | could put on this dir
ty little boy 2"
She look up and down to see if any can
vassers for the poor heather were in sight,
and then she grabbed the broom and ran
that sympathetic boy out of the yard

"A law is proposed in England to pre-
vent the importation of live cattle, only
permitting dead beef to be brought into
the country, as precaution against inn
porting cattle disease. Since most of tie
cattle diseases on the tight little island
are imported, this is a wise measure.
Cool settlers among hens seldom or
never leave their nests more than once II
day, provided they are well ted when they
come of; while they seldom remain away
longer than from quarter to half an hour,
rarely exceeding the latter period. unless
food has not been supplied and they have
to forage for themselves.

The Miller.

Ex-Governor Hendricks, who made the
opening address at the recent mllers' conven-
ton at Indianapolis, dwelt afiectionately upon
the miller OF olden times, as he recalled him.
Said he: GAS a boy was acquainted with the
miller, and thought him great man. When
he raised the gate with such composure and
confidence,and the tumblmg waters drove the
machinery ahead, Iadmired hispower. And
then he talked strongly upon all questions. He
was very positive upon politics, religion, law
and mechanics. And any one bold enough to
dispute q point was very likely to have a per-
sonal argument thrown into his face, for he
knew all the gossip among his customers
Laughter. He was cheerful. | thought it
was because he was always in the music of the
running water and the whirling wheels. He
was kind and clever-indeed, so much so that
he would promise the grists before they could
be ready, laughter and so the boys had to go
two or three times. He was q chancellor, and
prescribed the law. Every one in his turn
The miller standing in the door of his mill,
all white with the dust, is picture ever upon
the memory of even this generation. 1t is q
picture of a manly figure. | wonder if you,
gentlemen, the lords of many runs and bolts,
are ashamed to own him as your predecessor
1t was small mill, sometimes upon "a will
owy brook and sometimes upon the larger
river, but it stood on the advanced line of the
settlement, with its one wheel to grind the In
dian corn and one for wheat and in the fall
and winter season one day in the week set
apart for grinding buckwheat 1t did the
work of the neighborhood. Plain and unpre-
tentious as compared with your stately struc-
lures, would not say it contributed less to-
ward the development of the country and
the permanent establishment of society,"
So great favor it was, and so important to
the public welfare, that the authorities that
day invoked in its favor the highest power of
the State-eminent domain. That mill and
miller had to go before you and yours, and |
am happy to revive the memory of the miller
at the custom mills, who with equal care adj
justed the sack upon the horse for the boy to
ride upon, and his logic in support of his
theory in politics or his dogma in religion"

Can anything be said to induce farm
ers to keep their grounds freer from weeds!
If the weeds annually raised within our
boundaries were clover and wheat instead
they would amount to 100000 OOO.-
Weeds may be eradicated by patient and
persevering industry.

To KEEP WALKS CLEAR OF WEEDS AND
GRASS. "A correspondent asks us how this
can be done, without the constant use Of
the hoe. We have seen several modes re-
commended of preparation of drugs dis
solved, &C., but they are somewhat expen-
sve and troublesome to adopt The best
way we know Of, except the hoe, is to give
the walks good sprinlSling of salt or salt
water. Care must be taken to keep it from
box.edging plants, and very young trees.
A couple of applications season, ifwell
done and sufficient dose is applied, will do
the business pretty effectually. The best
way, however, undoubtedly, is to go over
the walk once week and remove the
weeds with hoe or scraper. Attended to
thus, there will be little grass and weeds
to get rid of; hence the job will not be la
borious and the walks always clean espe-
ically if they are covered with coal ashes
and rolled.-- Germantoaon Telegraph.
