English Ivy.

The use of English ivies for the purpose
of decorating rooms is becoming more
expensive every year, and cannot be too
highly commended. Being very strong
they will live through any treatment; but
study their peculiarities, and manifest
willingness to crafty them, and they
will grow without stint. Most houses are
too hot for them, as indeed they are for
their owners. Neither plants nor people
should have the temperature over sixty
enfeeble your ivies by excessive watering
or undue heat, and you will see they will
uvt ssSna to nAind whether the sun shines
or not, or in what position or direction
you train them. Indeed, so much will
they do themselves to render a room
charming, that we would rather have an
unlimited number of them to draw upon
them anything else in nature and art. Do
you wish the ugly plain doors that shut
off your tiny entry from your parlor to
be arched or curved like those in the
drawing-rooms of your richer neighbour
Buy couple of brackets, such as lamps
for the burning of kerosene are some
times placed in, and screw them in the
sides Of the door. Put in each plant of
English ivy, the longer, the better; then
train the plants over the top, against the
sides, indeed, any way your fancy die
tates. You need not buy the beautiful
but costly pots the flower dealers will ad-
wise; common glazed ones will answer
every purpose, for, by placing in each
two or three sprays of Coliseum ivy, in
months time no vestige. of the pot itself
can be discerned through their thick
screen. The English ivy growing over
the walls of the building, instead Of pro.
noting dampness, as most persons would
suppose, is said to be remedy for it,
and lie mentioned as fact in the Paper
Hangers Companion, that IN certain
room where damp had prevailed for a
long time, the affected parts inside had
become dry when ivy had grown up to
cover the opposite exterior side. The
close overhanging pendant leaves prevent
the rain or moisture from penetrating to
the wall. Beauty and utility in this case

The Perjured Witness.

The late David Paul Brown, of Phila-
delphia, was famous among his brother
lawyers for his skill IN manipulating .
witness whose veracity he suspected.
Nothing, apparently, could be farther re-
moved from bull-dozing" than his
courtly politeness. Yet the wretched
perjurer who fell into his hands had bet
ter have borne the whips of the Fnries
than the gentle inquiries of the courteous
old lawyer.
A notable instance of this occurred I'm
a will case, where the property involved
was large. Mr.. Brown was engaged on
behalf of the rightful heirs. The will,
which he hoped to prove as forgery,
was executed the day before the testator's
death, and by it the whole estate was left
to tricky attorney.
For some time the case for the rightful
heirs seemed hopeless. A shrewd Irish
man and his wife, servants of the testator,
were the witnesses. Grown confident,
the man ventured at last upon volun-
tary evidence.
II saw him." said the man, "sign, seal
and deliver the dockyment."
"Ah2 He was scarcely strong enough
10 seal Lu6 WILL. LOU booAou ~ IOI I'LL, yOu
meant" blsndly suggested Mr.. Brown.
mo, zurl He dropped the wax and
put on the shtamp wild his own hands.
He was shtrong in body-and moind,"
with meaning chuckle.
"But surely you forget. There was no
light to melt the wax. 1t was daytime"
"He said to me, 'Pathrick, get taper
out of the closet An 1 got it an lighted
it. Give me the wax an my seal, says
he. And I Civ thin. An he dropped
it on. There says he, its doner"
Mr.. Brown paused a moment. Then
he suddenly held up the will.
ado you swear before Almighty God,
he said, solemnly, "that you saw the ses-
tator sign this very paperi-that you saw
him seal it with wax and his own sesif"
The witness grew pale. II swear itw
be said, stoutly.
Mr.. Brown opened the will and handed
II TO the jury. Gentlemen" he said,
'the man is q Psrjurer! I, is fastened
with . wafer"
The case wss gained.

For the Eagle.
The Timber QUESTION.


Ed. EAGLE Having read DR.. Mer-
ril's article on Tree Culture" care
fully, | will offer few suggestions
which you can use as you see fit.
The cottonwood seems to be his fa-
vorite tree for setting by the roadside,
as we'll as everywhere else. Expert
ence is good teacher. although some
times the tuition is rather dear. Soon
after ! came here set out cottonwood
trees in the road, outside of the hedge
my land being on the north side of the
road. One of my neighbors on the
southside also set out cottonwoods on
his side of the road, outside the hedge.
kept mine trimmed up high so that
they would not shade the hedge, but |
noticed n great difference in the
growth Of the hedge where there hap
pened to be tree missing in the row
occasionally, although the trees were
several feet from the hedge.
Another great objection to them
there is that the roots run great dis
lance, near the surface, and i'll plough
ing the fields near them, the roots get
groken, and they are sure to sprout,
even if they are not larger than a
pencil.
Last spring | dug up my cotton

in a timber patch where they may

them | found that many of them were
injured by borers, not only in the
trunk, but many of the roots were
nearly cut off. only set the best of
the trees, preferring to propagate from
last years growth of slips mostly. 1
prefer box-elder or soft maple, in
fact almost any thing rather than the
cottonwood for roadside. And for
any kind of tree, | think the road
should be eighty feet in width.
Now, Mr.. Editor, practice what
preach. and that is TO set different
kinds of trees for forest culture, espe-
cially those which are durable for TIM
Der, and produce fruit, as the black |
mulberry. walnut, butternut, etc.
And last but not least, the peach tree, |
which | think may be cultivated to
advantage for fuel, and the fruit, there |
is no doubt about that, especially if
this community will raise good fruit
in quantity sufficient to induce can

One word about plums: My own ex-
,erience is that yellow plums are not
INJURED by insects as much as others.

Baby Marion went to meeting
To hear her grandpa preach;
otis Tismas time, l mus. be dood,
mustn't laugh nor skeech.
''l've got my new Doe dess on,
And my pity feddered hat,
And my han'chief in my little muf
That's like Aunt James white cat"
So Marion went to meeting,
As rosebud sweet and fair,
She piped up in the singing
And bowed her head in prayer.
She waved her wee lrce handkerchief
To her little playmate, Grace,
And tried to wipe sunbeam
From of her mammals face.
She threw kisses 10 lady
Who sat across the aisle;
Gave DR.. Meade some candy,
Which made the deacon smile.
She climbed upon foot-stool,
Whispering, Danma, amt ! tail?
wish dan pad look down here,
But then, perhaps, he'd fall"
Then Marion went home again,
And jumped on papa's knee;
"We all have been to meetn',
Cause we are dood, you see.
"And danpa preached : a little baby
Slept IN the barn with cows;
And men came and div him presents,
And then they made him bows"
