From the Fulton Times.
When Fulton father came home the
other evening and stepped into the par
lor to fill up the coal Stove, he was star
tied to see, when the flame Of his hand
lamp dissipated the darkness, that his
daughter and her ducky doodle Adolphus
were scjournlng in the shadow Of the
lowered gas JET. But they were in sepa-
rate chairs! And were engrossed in
box of figs! He felt compelled to ask:
Something the matter with the gas2"
And the timc-tried youth, graspiug
one Of the golden thoughts that over
wheim US in the time of emergency,
answered, as he mechanically picked up
another fig: "No, sir; we turned 1t
down so as not to notice when we bit into
worm"
From the Dsnbury News
When the parent went into the parlor
to look for his newsE aper he came sud
denly upon his daughter and her young
man with their faces so tightly glued to
each other that they didn't note his en-
try.
"Ahem!" he observed.
The twain started. and came to the
light with faces that bore every appear

"Anything the natter" grimly asked
the old gentleman.
II think we must have tainted" said

"Humph! What made you faint?'

Tho Art Of PrOlOnsinx Life.

People generally desire long life and good
health. Sickness and premature death are
almost always due to violation of the laws
that govern our physical being, and Of which
the masses are ignorant. fmen knew better
they would DO better; but how can tney avoid
an evil that they know not of: While efforts
are being made through the. public schools to
give each child a so-called common English
education. yet the children are permitted to
grow up and enter upon the responsible dr-
ties OF active life, profoundly ignorant of the
structure or their own bodies, and the laws Of
physical being upon which their health
and lives depend. They are sent to school,
cranlncd with arithmetic, grammar, and
geography, by teachers who, IN many in
stances, have never studied physiology and
hygiene. They are taught to locate the noun
talns and trace the rivers offoreign countries
and are never taught to locate the vital organs
glands OF their own bodies or trace the veins
arteries. aud nerves, in their various ranlitica-
tlons. They are instructed in the flow of tides
ana the course OF the ocean currents, and the
philosophy of winds and storms: but thew
have no correct conception of the relative
effects upon their health of breathing pure Or
impure air, nor has their attention ever been
called to the Importance of keeping their
bodies clean and healthy by regular bathing
The criminality OF such neglect III teaching
becomes apparent when we consider that the
masses ignorantly violating the laws of health.
D:nS upon themselves sickness, suffering, and
death that mi ght otherwise be avoided. Into
this condition Of things We welcome into being
any work that is calculated to impart to the
masses knowledge Of the structurs of their
own bodies, the laws Of health, and the import
ancc OF observing those laws. We find Dr.
Plcrce's Common Sense Medical Adviser to be
just such work: 1t is physiological and
pathological, and the major part Of it should
DC converted into a textbook for the use OF
common schools. Its careful study will en-
able the healthy to preserve their health, and
the sickly to regain health. Every parent
should read it, ana as their children become
ofproper age instruct them in the all-import-
ant truths it contains. Where this is done,
much suffering and premature death would
BE- prevented, and many youth saved from a
life OF shame and RIGHTEOUSNESS. The book
contains nearly one thousand pages, is profusc-

Early Plants.

The best melons we saw last year were
growing in q poor mans garden hun
drcd miles north of New York. The
seeds were started carly in the spring in
squares of rich roadside sod, AKA inches
and two inches thick, inverted, place on a
tray near Il sunny window and on an out
side bench during warm days; watched
from time TO time, and finally set, "so,;s
and ALL, in the open ground when the
season was advanced beyond any proba-
billty Of chilly nights. Others planted
alongside Of them, and earlier, directly
in the garden, hardly saw the light be-
fore they were dcvoured by the striped
bug-thc sadest Of the year. The same

thus be planted in so6s or in small paper
boxes filled with fire rich soil, and pro
duce crop month earlier than usual.
The boxes, if Of not too firm material,
may be transferred at the proper time to
the place prepared for them IN the gar
den. without disturbing them, es the roots
will force themselves through the soften
ed paper; or the box may be carefully
scissorcd away so as not to loosen the soil
from the roots, which is a great point
gained in transplanting. If small pots
are available, these answer an excellent
purpose, and if the growing plant is re-
ported once Or twice into larger pot, as
its groth demands more room, all the bet

!; According to the Golden Rule, few
people know the value Of sweet apples
as food. It says: Baked and served
with cream, they make light and most
delicious dessert. Sliced, and used in
buildings of various sorts, they save other
sweetening, and give grateful elemcl
OF freshness to the dish: And this sug-
gcsts that one reason why baked apples
OF any kind fall into di>favor in many
families is because they are not fresh.

time,' and they come upon the table

But it is in putting the Flashing to :1ch On

than this combination, the fact hasn't

perience. One meal day CT bread and

people of sedentary habits, would be

Cruelty to Canaries.

tion-applicable to all localities-to the

able Complaint Book for the purpose TIC
call attention to a species of cruelty that
is being constantly practiced by ladies
who keep canaries, of course in utter ig-
norance OF the fact. During the present
intense heat l have been frequently
panied by seeing hapless canary birds
hung up their brass cages in the blazing
sunshine. To keep bird for two or
three hours exposed to the rays of the
sun when the thermometer stands eighty
degrees or ninety degrees is simply to
shorten its life. All birds love tosportin
the sunlight, but 1t is contrary to common
sense to expect Gagged bird to be healthy
after continuous sun bath of six or
eight hours. If ladies desire that their
pets may enjoy the sun in natural way
let them cut round cover OF green pap
er, width hole in the middle, and place
it on top Of the cage, SO that the little
creature may have shade whenever it
wishes to rest. l am urged to write this
note because to-day neighber of mine
found her bird dead in the cage, and,
judging from the symptoms, IT was a
clear case Of sunstroke. The best plan
is to put the bird out in the early morn
ing sunshine, but by eleven o'clock the
cage should be withdrawn to the shade
behind the window blinds; then health
will be secured and the number of sud
den deaths among these feathered pets
greatly reduced. You might as we'll

to play in the hot street as to keep

The Ex-King was a Westphalian ad-

leader in their struggle for liberty against
the Genoese, the Corsicans, in their Gen

but his growing unpopularity compelled
him to fly. He became acquai nted with

where, after brief and successful social
career, the bailiffs once more laid hands
on linn and introduced him to the hospi-

Among the friends he had made was

he was holding mimic court in the Jail.
raised $50 for him by public subscrip-

his liberty. He was ungrateful. however,
and his benefactor abandoned him. He
died in the shop of poor tailor in Soho.
In spite of his shameful treatment of him
Walpole retained sufficient forgiveness

tombstone over his remains in st. Anne's

Rosewood.

It has puzzled many to decide why the
dark wood so higly valued for pianos,
and in these times so cleveriy initiated,
should be called rosewood. It's color.
certainly, does not look ike that of a rose,
but when the tree is first cut, the fresh
wood possesses a strong, rose-like fra
GRANGE; hence the name. There are half
a dozen or more kinds of rosewood trees
found in South America and in the East
Indies and neighboring islands. Some
times the trees grow SO large that planks
four feet broad and tsn feet in length can
be cut from them. These broad planks,
are principally used to make tops for pi-
ano fortes. When growing, the rosewood
tree is remarkable for its beauty; but
such is its value in manufactures as an
ornamental wood, that some of the forests
where it once grew abundantly, now have
scarcely single specimen. In Madras
the government has prudently had great
plantations of this tree set out in order to
keep up the supply.
