SELECTION OF SEED CoRN-The follow

Agricultural Club of Carroll county, is from
the Westminster Apeocate:

important things which farmer has to do
Coarse cobs accompany late maturity, as a
rule fine cobs well tipped out indicate per-
feet maturity, adaptation to the season and
soil, and fixedness Of character which ii is
important to maintain. The curing of corn
takes place to a great extent after husking,
and the presence of q great, soft moist cob in
each ear gives a tendency to mould, which
should be sedulously avoided. One may easi-
ly judge by the eye which ears have the
smallest cobs, those which are best tipped
out, which have the kernels in closest rows,
and all the rows running unbroken from end
to end. These ears will not be found among
the biggest round, or among the longest,
usually, but among those of medium size
The ears should be firm, close bard and solid.

In Russia taxes are collected in this way
A peasant, representative of district, com.

duty of collecting certain amount ofmoney
and it is the business of the people to distri,

the best. For the prompt collection, in the

ed with food at the cost of three cents day.
A district is obliged to pay for all its mem
bers, whether they are actual residents, or
have gone elsewhere, or are in the army. In
case a tax collector is unable to do his duty,
he reports to the authorities; then the police
appears armed with rods, and if the rods do
not secure the desired result, the property of

A SCRAP OF HIsToRY.-Here is an incident
in the history of the old soldier who was I'M
Til lately the Marshal President of France:
At the close of the battle of Terchia Gener-
al Archard, desiring to send an important
message to subordinate commander four
miles away, intrusted it to Mcmahon. He
ordered him a squadron ofmounted chasseurs
as an escort, but it was declined, and the
brave soldier rode off alone. He had pro-
ceeded some distance on his journey when
suddenly he beheld host of Arabs in pursuit
of him and deep ravine in faont of him.-
There was no other alternative than to jump
the ravine or be slain by his pursuers, and
putting spurs to his horse, he cleared the gulf
at bound, the horse breaking one of his legs
as he struck on the opposite side The Arabs
recoiled from the dangerous leap, and con-
tented themselves with dischargiug shower
of bullets after him. Mcmahon escaped UNI
harmed and reached his destination in safety.

Feathered Friends.

A pleasing sight may be witnessed at Mag
nolia-a lady standing in the doorway of her
dwelling with some dozen little forest birds
fitting about her and feeding from the palm
of her extended hand. From one to four
birds at time will feed from her hands
seemingly with a sense of perfect safety,
while others will snap up crumb, dart off to
tree or roof, devour it and come back for
another. When the supply offood runs short
they will alight and peck at the bottom of her
dress. An observer of this interesting scene
must keep at n proper distance and remain
silent or the birds will be frightened away
While feeding them the lady keeps up a con-
slant chatting, which they seem to under
stand, and respond by chirping. They know
her voice and will come at her bidding, how
ever much she may disguise herself If she
neglects them in the morning they will flutter
their wings against the window pane to
attract her attention, and she never fails to
answer their summons Their confidence
was of gradual growth, commencing some six
years ago, when shelves were attached to the
outside window-sills and crumbs of bread
meat, cheese, DC, were placed there for their
rejection, the lady standing inside and talking
kindly to them while they fed themselves
now and then indulging in reprimand when
they were selfish and quarrelsome. From the
window they were led in time to the door
way for their daily rations Her little flock
make their appearance in the winter when
the ground is first covered with snow, their
hours for meals being at sunrise and late in
the afternoon. AS soon as their wants are
supplied they are off to the woods again.
The visitors evidently belong to the same
stock, some of them returning from year to
year and recognizing the lady's voice, for at
their first appearance annually part of them
will come to her hand at her first call, while
no other person can approach within two
rods of them Cape Ann (MaSs.) ADVERTISER

Nature and My Heart.

nature anu MY 1heHrt.
BYA. JuDsoN CRANE.
The tenderest flower, bedrenched with rain,
Still lifts its head and smiles again,
When morning light dispels the cloud
Which lately Numbered fast and loud;
And thou, my heart, be as the flower.
The little stream with crystal flow.
By some rude storm doth murky grow,
And angry rushes dark and fast,
Yet soon will clear and calm at last;
And thou, my heart, learn from the stream
The mighty oak at winters blast,
Strips off its leaves and limbs and mast,
And stands type OF mute despair,
But blooms again with vernal air;
And thou, my heart, be as the oak.
Old oceans tide in tempest driven,
Lashes the shores and cries to Heaven
In fearful woe, in fury wild,
But soon is still as nesting child;
And thou, my heart, learn from the sea.
The flower, the stream, the oak, the sea,
All have their times of gloom and glee,
TO them there comes at last relief,
But souls ne'er find surcease of grief:
Then thou, my heart, learn to submit.
All nature has some fitting balm
To heal, renew, refresh, or calm,
But there are hearts whose ceaseless voc
Solace or calm can never know;
Then thou, my heart, learn to endure.
Cast up thy gaze from earthly things,
Deem sorrow good: to thee 1t brings
Promise of Life when Nature dies,
For Natures voice forever cries;
oh ! bruised heart trust God alone.

The Norwegian nation is the smallest of all
European nations, but its commercial fleet is
the third largest in the world. The Norwegian
flag is, of all foreign flags, that which is most
frequently seen in the harbor of New York :;
and through the sound which connects the
Baltic with the North Sea, and forms the
highway from London to ST. Petersburg,
often from three to four hundred Norwegian
crafts of every description pass during one
single day In Norway, although not every
man is sailor, every person is nevertheless,
more or less directly connected with the
shipping interest. To build ships Or to sail in
them, to own ships or to have part in them,
is point in everybody's life all along those
thousand yards which fringe the coasts of
Norway, and to the inland farmer the most
common manner of placing his savings is to
go down to the sea and buy part in ship.

TRUTHFUL JAMEs-Once upon a time, not
very long ago, certain man went down to
Washington i'm search of an office. He was
an honest man, but he didn't make this fact
known until he had obtained position. The
salary was $4,000 year and the labor three
hours day. The honest man said it was
robbing the government to take so much
money for so little work, and he asked his po-
litical friends if they could get him an office
with more work in it, SO that he might earn
his salary And they answered and said =
mot any. We can get you an Office with
less work and more salary, but none with
more work and less salary" And the honest
man thought he had fallen among thieves,
and he lifted up his carpet-bag and made
tracks for home, saying unto himself, "verily,
the ways of the government are past finding

WHERE IT NEVER RAINs-In Peru, South
America, rain is unknown. The coast of
Peru is within the region of perpetual south
east trade winds, and, though the Peruvian
shores are on the verge of the great southeast
boiler, yet it never rains there. The reason
is plain The southeast trade winds in the
Atlantic ocean first strike the water on the
coast of Africa Travelling to the northwest
they blow obliquey across the ocean until
they reach the coast of Brazil. BY this time
they are laden with vapor which they con :
tinue to bear along across the continent de-
posting it as they go, and supplying the
source of the Rio de Ia Plata and the south
ern tributaries of the Amazon Finally they
reach the snow-capped Andes here is wrung
the last particle of moisture that very low
temperature can attract. Reaching the sum-
nit ofthat range they now tumble down as
cool and dry winds on the Pacific slope be-
You'd. Meeting with no evaporating surface
and no temperature colder than that to which
they were subjected on the mountain tops
they reach the ocean. Thus we see how the
tops of the Andes become the reservoir from
which are supplied the rivers of Chill and
Peru
