The Greed of q Farmer.

The agriculturists of Canada met in convention not long ago and adopted for themselves the following creed:
 We believe in small farms and thor ough cultivation.
 We believe the earth loves to eat as we'll as the owner, and ought, therefore, to be we'll manured.
 We believe in going to the bottom of things, and, therefore, in deep blowing, and enough of it. All the better if it be subsoil blow.
 We believe in large crops which leave land better than they found it, making both the farm and farmer rich at once.
 We believe that every farmer should own good farm.
 We believe that tho fertilizer of any soil is spirit of industry, enterprise. and intelligence; without these, lime, gypsum, and guano will be of little use.
 We believe in good fences, good farm houses, good orchards, and good chil- dren, enough to gather the fruit.
 We believe in clean kitchen, @ neat wife in it, clean cupboard, dairy, and & clear conscience.
 We believe that to ask mans advice is not stopping, but of much benefit.
 We believe that to keep @ place for everything, and everything in it's place, saves many 0 step, and is pretty sure to lead to good tools and keeping them in order.
 We believe that kindness to stock, like good shelter, is saving of fodder.
 We believe that it is good thing to keep an eye on experiments, and note all good and bad.
 We believe that it is a good rule to sell grain when it is ready.

FASHION NOTES.

Plaid and iardiniere straw hats are seen among millinery goods.
 -Leghorn is the most fashionable straw for full dress toilets this summer.
 Straw bonnets are to be had in every color and shade, just like the felts of last winter.
 Silver, gold, and steel straws can be had, but they are fragile, and spoil easily when exposed to rain.
 Bouquets of variegated flowers are much worn on bodices of plain white, black, or oolored toilets.
 When the toilet is jardiniere or variegated in it's effects the corsage bouquets and ribbons should be of one color.
 For country toilets the materials most in vogue are lawns, linens, Pomp- adour prints, percales, mummy cloths, and satteens.
 The most fashionable colors are mastio, pale rose, light blue, gendarme blue, military blue, dahlia red, claret, and maroon or garnet.
 The most elegant foulard silk dresses are trimmed with satin of compliment ary or contrasting color to the ground of the foulard.
 -Bonnets composed entirely of tulle and flowers are worn at summer evening parlor receptions, concerts, and dramatic entertainments.
 Outdoor costumes, being all made short, it is very necessary to be well shod, and the stockings should match either the dress or it's trimmings in color.
 The fashionable colors for travelling costume are dark brown and invisible green, and the best materials are cash mere, thin cloth, tweeds, camel's hair, and vicuna.
 The highest and most serviceable balmoraIs are of bunting. They are shown in all shades of cream and beige, pale gray, light and dark blue, and are trimmed with one, two, and three rows of knife-blade pleating around the bot tom.
 Some very fashionable modistes are making demi-toilet dresses with heart shaped corsages opening over an inside fchu composed of a handkerchief of tulle folded Ia Martha Washington under the dress, velvet ribbon and pendant completing the neck garnitures.

SONG OF THE WRECK.

High OCT the beach the shattered hulk. With storm-wrenched timbers stern and gray Mars, with its grim, unsightly bulk,
 The brightness of the golden day, While tossed on high each gnarled beam, Clear cut against the amber sky, Like wrestling giant arms might seem, Flung out in helpless agony. And fancy counts the winters gone,
 Since, bowed beneath tue tempest's hate, The haplesS vessel, drifting on,
 Cam. grooming, shuddering to her fate. And gallant lives of stalwart men,
 Borne upward on the raging air, Went out mid terrer, night, and pain, In one fierce bang of wild despair. Now while on shore and sea the sun
 Its purple mantle gently lays. And far-seen islands, one by one,
 Melt in the rosy glimmering haze While yelling up through breach and seam, The sun-tipped wavelets pulsing flow, Telling the beach their summer dream
 In sea-blown murmurs faint and low Fair gentle girls, with eyes like stars,
 And rippling laughter crisp and sweet, Cluster around the gray old spars, The bright foam dancing to their feet. Till when the sunset glories fade,
 And twilight deepens into night, When, keenly flashing through the shade, Flames OCT the sea the beacon light. Their parting voices wane and faint
 To stiffness all unknown before, Save where the night wind moans its plaint Round wreck and tower, on wave and shore Courage, sad heart! Though dalk and chill Thy storm-wrecked life in ruins lie, Though wailing ghosts its chambers fill Aud strength and hope and impulse die. Still youth and love some tender gleams, Some joy-light, OCT thy gloom shall cast, Stirring to transient, happy dreams,
 The old sweet yearnings of the past. And when the darkness falls again,
 Stand, like the watch-tower, strong and sure In patience bide thy lonely pain,
 Steadfast, renlenber-and endure!

TO HIS L1DY-LOVE.

Lady of worth and beauty fair, In whom dwell all sweet gifts of grace, My heart, my love, my thought, my care, Are slaves before thy gentle face;
 Therefore, o lady of laud and praise, I pray for guerdon great to me, The gift of kindly thought from thee. From day to day make no prayer,
 At night no other hope finds place, But evermore and every where,
 To serve thee in thy works and ways; And though I plead in lowly case, Yet dare I ask, oh grant to me, The gift of kindly thought from thee. By words, by songs, by works, by prayer, A lovcr's faith and truth you trace; Go ask and search out every where,
 All that say, my deeds, my ways.
 Should these unworthy seem, and base, Forgive mo, nor withhold from me The gift of kindly thought from thee.

INVALUABLE METAL. Platinum, which Edison uses to so great an extent, and beds of which he is anxious to find, does not exist in this country in large quanti- ties, though every mine producing gold always has small percentage of plati- mum with it. The value of platinum is about one-third of that of gold, and not "equal to gold" The weight, however, is much above gold or any other metal. Platinum is one of the best of the Rus sian resources, and all the world to-day depends upon the production of Russia.

ANXIOUS. s.-S upervisor I. H. Cogswel of Greenwood, Mich, was administrator of an estate, and, being called upon to render an account of his trust, set fire to his house, which he had drenched with kerosene, and burned himself to death, together with the papers con- nected with his business affairs. He tried to persuade his wife to remain in the building, and when she escaped h @ followed her out to urge her to go back and die with him. She refused, and Cogswell, finging her some money, stepped back into the house.

Asphalt and Timber Floors.

A curious method of laying down floors has been adopted in France, and is said to have obtained wide applica- tion. It consists of putting down floor ing, not, as hitherto, on ioists, but in 'embedding the boarding in asphalt. The new floors are used mostly for ground stories of barracks and hospitals, as well as churches and courts of law. Pieces of oak, usually 24 to inches broad, 12 to 30 inches long, and inch thick, are pressed down into layer of hot asphalt, not quite half an inch thick, in the well-known herring-bone pattern. To insure complete adhesion of the wood to the asphalt and obtain the smallest possible joints, the edges of the pieces of wood are planed down, beveling towards the bottom, so that their cross sections becomes wedgelike. Nails, of course, are not necessary, and perfect level surface may be given to the flooring by blaming after laying down. The advantages of this flooring, which only requires an even bed on which to rest, are said to be the follow ing:
 1. Damp from below and it's conse- quence, rot, are prevented.
 2. Floors may be cleaned quickly and with the least amount of water, insurjng rapid drying.
 3. Vermin cannot accumulate in the joints.
 4. Unhealthy exhalations from the soil cannot penetrate into living rooms. As phalt being impermeable to damp, rooms become perfectly healthy even if they are not vaulted underneath. In build ings with several stor1es, as in hospitals, the vitiated air of the lower rooms can- not ascend, an object which it has hith- erto not been possible to attain by any other means.
 5. The layer of asphalt will also pre- vent the spreading of fire from one floor to another in case of conhagration. The flooring here described has been laid in the numerous easements of the newly-constructed forts round Metz, to the satisfaction of the authorities, The cost is about shilling per square foot. This estimate, somewhat high, would be much lower in districts where oak and labor are cheaper, and the distance from the places of construction less, and espe- cially where there is more competition among contractors than at Metz and the cost for larger undertakings may be reduced to eight shillings per square meter.

The mar riage took place, and then the old miser learned that the large fortune which the young man was coming into was his father -in-law's.

AT rHE bottom OF A WEI,

Truth comes to us rs gold is washed down
the mountains of the Sierra Ncvadas, in
minute but precious particles. aud is still
truth, though it be found at the bottom of
an oil we'll, like Carboline-the great nat
ural hair restorer, which effectually pre-
vents the falling ont of the hair, the accurn-
ulations of dandruff, and the premature
change in color due to diseased condition
of the scalp and the glands which nourish
the hair. 1t is well known that the most
beautiful colors are made from petroleum,
and 10y some mysterious operation of ma
ture the use of this article gradually i'm
parts n beautiful light brown color to the
hair. which. by continued use, deepens to
q black. The color remains permanent
for an indefinite length of time, and the
change is so gradual that the most intimate
friends can scarcely detect its progress. In
a word, it is the most wonderful discovery
of the nge, and well calculated to make
the prematurely bald and gray rejoice.
Cnrbolinc is put up in q neat and attrac-
tive manner, and sold by all dealers in
lrugs and medicines.
