Fences.

1t is said that the fences in this country
cost more than all the houses whether this
is strictly true or not, it is beyond question
that their first cost Is immense, and that Il
vast expense is yearly incurred to keep them
in epair; and what makes bad matter a
great deal worse is the fact that a large part
of this expense might be avoided, Farmers
have built too many fences some of these
are not merely useless, but are a positive
disadvantage. They take up considerable
land which ought to be under cultivation,
hut from which nothing Of value is obtained
and they are in the way about cultiyating
and harvesting the crops
In some places these evils arr 81 strongly
manifested as to lead to a marked reduction
| in the number of fences. In some parts of
! Massachusetts this is true to great extent
Il great number of roadside fences having
been removed and many inside fences have
been taken away. Where stone walls abound
il is somewhat difficult to follow this exam
ample, but wooden fences can easily be re-
moved For many purposes large fields are
better than small ones if they were not, ii
is QUESTION whether any advantages which
small fields could furnish would be sufficient
to justify the great expense Of ieucing
| them.

ONLY A DOLL.
~ SARAH o. JEwETT.

Polly, my dolly why don't you grow?
Are you dwarf my Polly?
I'm taller and taller every day;
How high the grass Is do you see that?
The flowers are growing like weeds, they say
The kitten is growing into cat
Why don't you grow, my dolly
Here is mark upon the wall
Look for yourself, my Polly
made II a year ago, thiuk.
I've measured you very often, dear,
But, though you've plenty to eat and drink,
You have MT grown bit for year.
why don't you grow, my dolly'
Are you never going TO try to talk?
You're such a silent Polly
Are you never going TO say word p?
II Is mt hard and oh don't you see
The parrot is only little bird
But he can chatter so easily.
You're quite Ounce, my dolly
Let's go and play by the baby-house.
You are my dearest Polly
There are other things that do not grow
Kittens cans talk, and why should you?
You are the prettiest doll know;
You are a darllng-that is true
Just as you are, my dolls

MIR. H. IL. STEVENS.
In 1872 your vegetne was recommended to me, aud
yielding to the persuasous Of "A friend, consented
TO Try IL. AT the time was suffering from general
debility and nervous prOstratlon, suparinduced by
oyerworK and irregular habits Its wonderful
strengthening and curative properties seemed to al
feet my debilitated system from the first dose and
under Its pers tent use rapidly recovered gaining
more than usual health aud good feeling. Since then
have not hesitated to give Negetine my most un-
qualined Endorsement, as being safe sure, and
powerful agent In promoting health and restoring
the wasted system to new life aud energy. Nege-
tine Is the only medicine use and as long as live
never expect to ind better.

LONDON, March Is. The Times SAYS the Rus
slams are making further advances towards the
Bosphorus. Our government must have satisfied
themselves that the virtual command Of CONSTANT
nople gave Russia no lnsupei able advantage. and
we may therefore view with comparative ndtier-
ence the movements which are in no way more
alarming than those in which we have scquesced.
The Paris correspondent telegi apis that Rou-
mania is pressing Russia for money due to the tel
egiaph and postal department, to private persons
for damage from bembardment, to the Bucharest
& Giurgevo Railway Co., ard to land owners.
A special to the Advertiser from Para reports
that Russian division has left Adranople for

hitting the passage of the Hotspur and Candor,

gees.
The Turks have strength ened the garrisons in

Gabella and Mosta.
The Times Vienna correspondent says that
Russia has notified the Powers that the treaty
will he sent TO them immediately after the ratif-
cation, Russia having no reason to conceal any

that there is no secret understanding.
