Love In an Insane Asylum.
IKirp,town, New YORK. Freaman

lKingstown, New York, Freaman.T
On account of a nervous malady with
which he was afflicted, Mr.. Edward Have
meyer, who is q son OF New York million.
aire. now deceased, Rnd nephew OF aK-Mav-
or Hayemeyer, was an inmate for some tims
during the past winter Of the New York State
homeopathic asylum for the insane at this
place. While there he formed the aequain-
tance Of one Of the attendants, Miss Carrie
Weaver, young lady of q slight, delicate
form and pretty face, who first attracted his
fancy and then won his affections. The hd-
vances OF Mr.. Havemeyer were modestly
received by Miss Weaver, and we're evident
ly not distastinl TO her, as IN due time they
resulted in an offer of marriage on his part,
which was duly accepted. Upon the young
gentleman's notice to his mother OF bis pro-
posed marriage. she, with display OF sense
and regard for the happiness OF the young
couple seldom uitnessed in her station 10 life,
interposed no objections, after having satin-'
fed herself by diligent inquiries that the
proposed bride was Of respectable parentage'
and irrepreachAble char actor. The parental
consent WAS then given, and the young gent
leman having recovered from his maladys
the wedding ceremony was performed 10 thls
village, and the two wers made man and vile.
The gentleman took his bride to the city
where shs was cordially reoeiYad BY his re-
lstIons and treated with every consideration
due daughter. A furnished house Ia tho
city was offered the newly married couple.
where they resided for time, but as they
preferred the more quiet life and fresher air
OF the country, gave t up and returned to
Middleton, where thev are now living, 90
cuppying house on Mulberry street. The
happy meeting at the asylum has resulted in
gentleman obtaining for himself a GOOD
wife and poor girl being lifted from
position OF poverty and seryitude 10 house
OF her own, luxury and aiiiuence.

EyergreenS.

Evergrssns give home pleasant, cheer
fol, enlivenlng appearance, and &C the same
time afford protection against the fierce
northern blasts. Bisides, they attract many
of our festhered songsters. who are very par
tisl to them as being peculiarly fitted for
their homes.
They are as easily grown as shade trees,
II the following rules are observed: They
should be taken up with an abundance OF
roots, and these packed or taken care of in
such manner, until planted, that the roots
have no chance 10 dry (aniessentlal point),
as the drying OF OF the roots Q loses the poores
through which the nourishment is drawn
from the soil, and these, being partly COM
posed of a rAsinous substance, are not 90
easily reopened. The holes should be dug
very large-not less than four feet SQUARE
and, where there is sod, the grass side should
be turned down.
Evergreens, however, are generally plant.
cd In yard where the soil is hard or in cod,
which not only dries out easily, but draws
the moisture out of the soil Immediately sur
rounding the roots OF the trees. especially IL
the soil Is replaced in its natural position af-
ter planting the tree, which many do because,
Rs they say, ''it spoils the Appearance OF the
lawn to leave the vulgar earth exposed"
The effects OF q rain are not half as lasting
In q yard as 1t has more chance to run of,
and the grass holds whAt doea SOAK ~ sus-
pension and soon draws It out again, so that
the tree is but little benefited, unless the
hole has been made sufficiently large to hold
its own.
In planting the trees, the roots should be
fret dipped In water and spread out evenly
and the earth we'll worked In among them
and afterwards pressed, not stamped, dowr
with the root. After planting, the surfac'
OF the earth around the tree, cpd extending
out as far as the hole has been dug, should
be mulched TO the depth Of several inches
with old straw, hay, leaves or other lIttel
(bnt no mAnure) to keep down the weeds and
retain the moisture through the dry season,
The litter may be kept in place by weighing
with stones, wood or earth. No water need
be poured in the hole when planting, unless
the soil is dry, and then enough should be
given to thoroughly soak the aoil.
To keep up fast growth, the soil should
be cultivated under the treed as tar out as the
limbs extGni; II further, 80 much the better,
as grass retards the growth.

How 10 save the Boes.

To be successful in wintering them, o.
we'll as 70 provide for a rapid multiplication
In early SPRING we must see 10 IL that the
combs are provided with sn abundant supply
OF pollen as we'll as honey; and, II we wish
the bees kept pure Of any one kind or race,
we should take care that all the nurse bees
SHAH be As pure as the mother queen herself
or the drones that fertilize her, as we'll as
the stores from which the supplies are drawn.
In addition TO suoh supplies, We should so
protect our bees from tho low temperature
70 which they are exposed In our northern
latitudes that the moisture contained In their
breath shall not be liable 70 condense, nor
CONCEAL on the combs within the hive, but
may be absorbed by suitable means, or CAR
ried of without creating currents either OF
cold or heated air through the hive.
Thus projected aud cared for, we may
leave our bees in perfect quiet end repose,
and 80 long as an even Temperature Of say
30 70 40 degrees Is preserved, we may bid de-
fIance TO even six months or e0nfneEffnt an0
the rigor Of the most severe weather, and the
diatemper which has 30 depopulased the
great cities Of honey bees in our land the
past few years, Late breeding, so much
recommended by some new bee.masters from
purely hypot tbericRl and lna-spun theories,
is here depricated as tending to exhaust the
natural fall and winter supply Of the needed
pollen for the embryo nourishment OF the.
early opening following season. Bee-Keep

Paris Green and Potatoes.

I never believed Paris green could be sb
sorbed by the roots OF any plant, for plants
do not take up through their roots anything
but soluble matter, and Pars green does not
dissolve In water, but foats in IL for n shor,
time. 1t doubtless decays in time and be-
comes mingled with the earth, but BY tina,
lime its nature vi: be changed, and the
poisonous effects neutrslizsd. II is probable
that this change takes place before the par
ticles decay, or at all events they are 90 thin
ly distributed Ia the soil as 10 be harmless.
This is proved by the fact that W. used the
baby's nut grova, where Paris green had
been literally applied to the potatoes (grown
under straw, for a feeding yard for score
or more,of little pigs, and they rooted II over
many times seeking stray potatoes and feed
ing on the angle-worms which were made
plenty by the covering of straw. None of
the pigs were ever sick, and, In fact, we never
thought about the poison until to-day In
the field the old hogs have rooted over the
potato ground thoroughly with no harm 70
themselves, and here the poison was applied
three times. We can raise good crops OF
potatoes by using plenty OF Paris green, and
without 1t we cannot, so long ss the beetles
stay with us. The vines should be gathered
In heaps and burned as soon as the potatoes
are dug. and then all danger Is over. This is
my judgement and experience, and shall ACT

A New Breed Of Cease.

A prominent writer in one OF the foreign
journals deYoted TO agricultural interests,
strongly recommends the Introduction OF the
Japanese goose into poultry yards. From
the description given of this breed, II is only
reasonable TO think that they are as well
suited to our wants As TO those OF our British
friends who favor the change. This goose
is as nearly beautiful in appearance as II is
possible for a goose TO be; it 10 equally at
home on land or water, and its movements
are graceful and swSn-like. They Withstand
changes of clim4te even better than our own
domesucsted geese. aud can be kept With
out sh,ler even In the most severe winter
season. The Japanese goose is much more
prolific than the ordinary breeds, and conn
nencss laying In mid-winteT, rarely showing
any inclination TO SIT before jane or July,
which OF course renders II necessary 10 hatch

A Look Into VSEuvlus.

A lady describing visit to the creator OF
Veuuvius, says; 'T pushed 10 the very
mouth Of the orater--yes, and looked right
down In the yawning abyss. Never shall 4
forget those awful moments. From deep
down In the very heart OF the mountsin--
how far beneath me j can not say-cAme
rumbling as of distant thunder, followed by
more rapid and sharp decorating SOUNDS,
like tho discharge OF firearms; then q Hash,
peal OF thunder, aud presently II beleheo
forth dense clouds OF smoke, ascending 10 an
incredible height, followed by discharge of
B0ry rcd bewldors, BEaRn slones steams of
ruoiten lava, and scarlet flame. The interior
OF the crater seemed lined with layers OF
pure sulphur OF beautiful yellow tint, made
more intense by contrast with the immense
body OF black lava by which was surround-
ed. Deep down IN the crater seemed a sea OF
smoldering FIRE. It is extraordinary how
little we realized the danger OF sn adventure
like this until IL is over. Had learned be-
fore starting the sad fate which years ago
beiell similar party of explorers, might
have hesitated. 1t was In 1872 that party
OF 20 students from Naples assembled the
mountain during an eruption. They stood
upon the brink of the crater, when suddenly
they were INVOLVED in cloud OF sulphutous
smoke and falling projectiles. Eight oi them
(some say ail perished, and believe only
Two of their bodies were ever recovered.
The decent was pleasant enough;in tact the
sensation was more agreeable than other,
wise, for at every step our safety was assured
by the siuking OF our feet into the deep ashes
and scoria. We arrived at Naples a. about
Z O'Clock in the evening, dellghted with our
most profitable work, and regRetting only

False DOctrine.

Gen. Geiger, in his speech at this
place, said that a man who could not
successfully manage his own business,
was not as safe man to manage pub
lie business as the man who is success
full in his own private business. He
then made the comparison between
Gen. Ewing, the hopeless bankrupt,
and Charles Foster, the successful,
wealthy man.
At the Teachers Institute, when
criticizing John T. Moore's lecture on
Political Economy. Mr.. Paine took
occasion to differ with Mr.. Geiger, and
said that several men who were utter
failures in their own business, were
eminent as statesmen, and gave as one
instance, Daniel Webster. He said
Webster never paid any attention to
the payment of his debts. This is true;
but now we would ask what Daniel
Webster ever did for his country?
What great measure did he ever origi-
nate, or carry out? He had a great
brain and of course had a giant mind.
So had Satan. Webster wanted to be
President His Infamous 18th of March
pro-slavery speech, intended to put
him into the Presidents seat, revealed
the mans character He was all head,
and no heart. He was petty scoun-
drel, who was too dishonest to pay the
poor baker who furnished him with
his daily bread.
John Sherman got rich on five
thousand dollars per year. Salmon P.
Chase became wealthy ON a moderate
law practice and small salaries. These
men have been the most successful
fnanciers, while Secretary of the
Treasury, that this country has ever
known. Does Mr.. Paine believe that
Daniel Webster, Levi DUNCAN, Porter
DuHadway, Irvine DUNCAN, Morg.
Watts, and such men, could have
managed the finances more success
fully than they have been managed by
Chase and Sherman?
