sUSAN's EASTER BONNET

5 Susan had an Easter bonnet w..
Broad and lofty-8 Bye
Plumes and ribbons grated on IT.
Gracious goodness, want it fine!
Susan wore that Easter bonnet
Into church on Easter day
When the women gazed upon it,
Pewfuls Of them swooned away.
For It was perfect daisy,
Tilted gaily fore and aft
Calculated to set crazy
Half the giddy female craft.
Susan thought the service splendid
As she felt her bonnet loom,
And was sorry when it ended
And the bonnet ceased to boom.

Growing English Ivy.

I have heard many people complain
that they could not keep English Ivies,
because they grow so slowly, and that
they could not afford to wait for small
vine to grow to any considerable size.
While visiting my old homo last summer
1 made my calls, and among them one
upon lady who is noted throughout the
village for the beauties Of her ivies I
never saw any more lovely. Though COM
parativcly young plants. they were stalky,
while the leaves were Of that glossy green
which is seldom seen on plants outside of
= green house.
asked her, after having admired her
plants sufficiently, "What is the secret OF
your success?' She assured me that it
was no secret, adding, ~ put a piece of
beefsteak at the roots every spring and
fall, and this is the result"
"But does not the odor of the decaying
beef annoy you?"
ut never has and why should it? Won't
people fill their pots full of stable rich
| ness, and never think Of offensive odors p
On my return to Worcester put some
steak-a piece perhaps two inches square
under the roots Of my ivy, and in a
week or two it began to run, and has
grown very rapidly ever since.
Now, perhaps other decaying matter
would do as we'll, but I can truly recon-.
mend the steak as having been tried
Many say too much richness will kill the
plant, but I know from experience that
vines, all kinds of ivies, air plants and
Madeiras cannot have too much. use a
mixed dressing, such as has been made
ready for the garden two-thirds Of this
and one of common earth, and your vines
will grow rank and beautiful, astonishing
you with large leaves and stout stems.

Colonization.

The sixth semi-annual meeting OF the
American Colonization Society was
held here this week. From the annual
report it appears that the colonization
of negroes has by no means been aban-
doned. The total number that have
colonized in Liberia is u 1000. To all
these this society has given homes in
Africa. Applications are daily received
from entcrprising colored people, and
the committee thinks that half a million
are considering removal to Africa.
Exodus associations have been formed
under the auspices of the society at
several prominent Southern points.
The greater portion of those who left
Charleston on the bark Avon last spring
have settled to the north Of Monrayia.
The society thinks that the efforts OF
the colored people to obtain from Con-
grcss 800 to enable them to remove to
Africa is worthy of the serious atten-
ton of the whole nation WashtnJto

Topographic Eccentricities.

A great many columns have been
written concerning topographic errors,
and many of the instances sound so
witty or SO stupid that it seems as if
they must be rather inventions than
actual happenings. But we never saw
one cited SO unlikely that we couldn't
remember its match. Orce we wrote
that it was "like evoking the shadow Of
a shade" to quote forgotten writer's. The
phrase appeared in print thus: Like
cooking the shadow of shad." The
printer had, in burlesquing the senti-
ment, actually preserved and intensified
it in a most striking image of unsub-
stantiality. At another time we had
quoted the proverbial opinion of Rosa
lind: Men have died and worms have
eaten them-but not for love- The
printer may have been a misogyDist; at
all events, he substituted women" for
worms" There are Shakspearean emen-
dations not much better than that, per-

Beheaded Mt PRAYERS.

Hamlet RETAINED from killing his
mothers husband while the latter was
on his knees, but Mrs. John S. Cald-
well, of South Byfeld, Mass, had no
such scruples when she decapitated her
husband with an ak. Mr.. Caldwell was
kneeling at chair offering his morning
devotions, the only other person in the
house being his sister7in-law, who was
in the same devout posture, when Mrs.
Caldwell stealthily entered the room,
and, snatching up an AK, which her hus-
band had brought into the room the
night before, dealt him blow ON the
back of his neck, which nearly severed
his head from his body. Death was in
Simultaneous, and the soul of the sup
plant followed the half-uttered prayer
to the other world. The terrible deed
done, the woman went to O neighbours
house and told him to go over, as she
had struck her husband and might have
killed him. He had threatened, she
said, to kill her. Mrs. Caldwell ex-
hibited not the least sign of emotion,
and talked unconcernedly about the
dreadful thing she had done. Mr..
Caldwell was an intelligent farmer of
about As years, in easy circumstances,
and both he and his wife were respecta-
BILE members of the Orthodox church.
For the past two years the wife had been
partially oeranged, SO much so that her
sister had been sent for to keep watch of
her movements. There was nothing but
happiness in the relations of husband
and wife, and the woman's devilish deed
is universally attributed to insanity,
pure and simple.

Wives Rights to the Family Purse.

The Country Gentleman thinks that
"if every man would pay his wife a
weekly sum for housekeeping, clothing,
ETC., he would find that in nine cases out
of ten her management of the fund would
increase not only his comfort, but that
of the whole house." and it SAYS: "If
she is equal to the task of being a wife
and a mother, she is also equal to the
task of supplying and paying for the
daily necessities Of the home. If she is
head manager she will take pride and
pleasure in making one hundred cents
60 great way-much further than a
man could make one hundred and fifty
60. She will also make calculations
about the expenditure of the weekly
sum; will lay by a certain amount
toward buying such and such supplies
ia quantities; will learn that there is no
economy in buying soap by the bar,
starch or sugar by the pound. She will
systematize her affairs, keep her books
IA day-book and ledger--and exhibit
her well.kept accounts with pride and
delight. The very fact that the expendi-
ture of the money belongs to her will
sweeten her life, give new zest to her
occupations and make her happy and
more contented wife. To most women
the idea of asking for money is abhor-
rent They put it off from day to day,
the dread of it is so great. They will
wear expensive clothes in the kitchen
rather than ask for the money needful
for the purchase of plain calico dress.
The subject of money supplies in the
home opens wide field Of thought to
the husband. Will he cultivate it?
Many wives of the middle class have
been accustomed to earn their own sup
port, to purchase their own wardrobes
before they were married. But after
marriage all is changed; they must ask
for what they require rather than have
it paid to them quarterly. Atfirst their
wants are few or all supplied; but one
or two years alter their outlook and 1t
becomes very dreary. Can the husband
understand thisY trow not. He will
tell you: My wife has all she asks for,
never dreaming how many days it
requires to summon courage to ask for
necessities. An utterly false statement,
exclaims some one: there's no woman
afraid to ask for what she needsl' May
] ask you to inquire of your own wife
how she feels on such occasions. Unless
she is afraid to speak the tauth, your
eyes may be opened somewhat"

HOW PEOPLE WILL BE SWINDLED.

Not long ago three French journal
lists were discoursing of human creduiity
in cafe, and the question, " Where is
its limit ?" was raised. One of the three
maintained that human credulity had
no limit. 1t was finally agreed that
each of the trio should insert in the
newspapers an advertisement, the most
eccentric, improbable and absurd that
it was possible to devise--each adver-
tisement to be accompanied with de-
mand for stamps-and to watch the re-
suit. The first of the trio published the
following extraordinary announcement:
"THE HAND IN THE HAIR-Send one
franc fifty confines in postage-stamps
for the theory of an entirely new sensa-
ton. 1t gives love and freshness. Ad-
dress "a. b. Post-office." The second
conspirator, taking advantage of the old
and familiar superstition, advertised as
follows: RETURN FROM THE OTHER
WoRLD.-Send one franc fifty centimes
in postage-stamps. Accurate news from
the better land. Mysteries revealed.
Everything made clear Address 'B
c. Post-office." The third, abandoning
all subterfuges, advertised boldly, as
follows: al PROMISE NOTHING; On
GAGE TO PERFORM NoTHING.-But send
one franc fifty confines in postage
stamps. Perhaps there is little sur
prise in store for you. Who knows?
Address c. Pcst-office." These ad
vertisements produced a result far
greater than the conspirators had hoped
Postage-stamps rained for several days
And when the people found that they
were not receiving their quid pro quo,
they sent on more postage-stamps. And
the most successful of the three adver-
tisements was the last. Finally, the
three journalists turned over their ill.,
gotten gains to charitable society, and
told their story in the newspaper, in
order that the dupes might know what
became of their postage-stamps. They
had satisfied themselves that human
credulity had indeed no limit.

CALIFORNIA grape cultivators are
moving in the matter of extracting oil
from the seeds of grapes contained in
the pomace after expressing the juice
for wine. Italy and France have been
throwing away about seventeen million
pounds of grape seed annually, until
lately. Since then means for utilizing
the seeds by expressing the oil have
been invented there. The seed is care
fully dried, ground very fine, and placed
in hoppers. A hole is made in the
center OF the mass and filled with water,
slow fire is kept under the hoppers,
and the whole constantly stirred until
the hand can no longer be borne in the
meal. The paste is then pressed as for
olive oil, we suppose, as is linseed. Ev-
cry one hundred pounds of seed is said
to yield five or five and one-half pounds
of oil of a light color, mild to the
taste and without odor. 1t is thought
THAT the refuse seed in California may be
utilized thus at profit.

Dogs as a Subject for Taxation.

North Carolina will never repudiate
while it has so many dogs. The great
reliance of the State is upon its dogs.
If these can be taxed, or killed, the
State, it is thought, will be saved. 1t is
estimated that the 100000 dogs in
North Carolina consume $1,800,000
worth of corn meal year, and cause the
loss of fabulous amounts by interfering
with sheep-raising, and, owing to pro-
pensity for egg-sucking. with the raising
of poultry. A tax of 81 apiece on the
dogs would furnish large revenue. 1t
would have this advantage, too, that, the
smaller the revenues from its operation
became, through the slaughter of the
dogs, the greater the taxable resources
of the State in other directions would be-
