The Whipping Post in Canada.

WILLIAM BURT was sentenced to
twenty lashes of the cat-o'-nine-tails
and term of one months imprison-
ment. All having been made ready,
the Sheriff read the sentence of the
Court. Then he desired one of the
turnkeys to keep count of the strokes.
One" said the turnkey, and the
"cat'' came whizzing down across
Burt's back, leaving the trail of nine
blood-red streaks from shoulder to
shoulder. The strokes followed in
quick succession, and were admins
tered with a biting sweep. At the
twelfth stroke the las h descended about
two inches lower than the preceding
ones. "Strike up" demonstrated
Butt ""d not anO Othcr word did ho ut
ter until all was over. "Domino"
said he then. His back by this time
was raw and livid, but no blood had
been drawn, although the great weals
stood out from his shoulders like blood
vessels ready to burst. He was released,
and then he turned to the man with the
cat-o'-nine tails and asked, "Why
didn't you keep striking above?" "a
pretty good Christmas present this"
he continued, land 1 have not de-
served it either. I wish, Sheriff, you
would give Judge Hughes my compli-
ments for this Christmas present, and
[ am perfectly innocent of the charge"
81 can say nothing about that, re-
piled the Sheriff both the Judge
and the jury believed you were guilty.
81 am innocent for all that" said
Burt, "and l didn't get fair oppor-
tunity for calling witnesses. ."-St.

American Products in England.

ONE is very much struck by the
variety of American articles offered for
sale here can remember, when
abroad a few years ago, the longing 1
had for only one genuine American
apple. After the season for English
pears was past, asked my fruit-man,
with many misgivings, if he had any
good apples. Yes; he had fine apples.
Would prefer Baldwins, peach
favored Newtown pippins, russets, or
greenings?-al Just arrived from
America. And 1 found what he said
was true. and that 1 could have, in as
good condition, with very small in
crease in expense, as good apples on
my table as if at home. About the
same time my fsh-monger astonished
me by asking me if 1 would like some
Blue Points. And these 1 have found
of as small size and fine, fresh flavor
as if served at Delmonico's, and not as
high in price. Even at the smaller
grOcer-shops one sees canned fruits,
vegetables and meats, all from Ameri-
ca. Many such articles are recon-
mended because American. l had
white cotton cloth shown me the other
day, in a small shop, on which was the
stamp of a mill in Rhode Island. This
increase in the sale of American arti-
cles is regarded with great jealousy by
many of the English, and they have en-
tirely gotten over regarding US as
half-ciVilized Nation.

mails of the farm.
With regard to the aforementioned
item, viz, the use of artificial fertil-
izers, we are behind all other pro-
gressive Nations. Chemical manures,
the waste products of manufactures,
and natural fertilizers, as guano, potash
salts and nitrates, are as yet only very
little understood, and still less used.
The majority of farmers are so little
acquainted with them as to confuse
them together under the general term
phosphate" The differences between
ammonia and phosphoric acid and be-
tween the different kinds of fertilizers
used for different purposes, are gener-
ally unknown, and, therefore, there is
dread of having anything to do with
them. Consequently, when any of
them are used, there is great danger of
missing any useful result, because of
the improper or ineffective way in
which they are used. We mention
these points, and simply present this
subject at this time, that our readers
may make it a matter of serious con-
sideration before another season re-
turns, when opportunities will occur
for decided action. For the successful
prosecution of agriculture, its various
operations must be thoroughly under
stood. 1t is not enough that man
should plow and SOW that he may reap;
to this end he must be versed in all the
intricate problems which arise out of
the practices of all his labors, so that
everything may be done in the best
manner, and made to produce the best
results, by choosing those methods of
practice WHICH will combine all that he
has learned by his own experience, and
all that he can learn of the experience
of Others N. 2. Times.

ONE of the most cowardly acts a
man can do is to commit suicide. In
about two-thirds of the cases, loss of
money or employment, or unrequited
affection suggests the rash act. Forth
with the poor deluded victim proceeds
to fill himself with whisky to give him
nerve, and makes the fatal leap into
eternity. If men who are to-day Ia
boring under discouragements for
losses-have seen the hard earnings of
years swept away-wilI interview any
twenty of their prosperous neighbors,
they will find that such has been the
history of men through all the genera
tions. The darkest days will brighten,
the heaviest gloom will be lifted from
the most depressed soul, if, like man,
he will make the contest. Nay, even
more; often the trials and disappoint-
ments of life, so grievous to bear at the
time, are the best perfecters of char
acter, and do more to develop the true
man than any amount of prosperity.
1t is pitiful that, in a land of plenty,
there should be found so many who
are unwilling to live their allotted DAYS,
and pay the debt as best they can

farming would find it necessary
to increase their knowledge or
leave the farm. This would not
only be found true of many
owners of farms, but itwould be alarm
ingly true of farm help. If our farm
ers were compelled by the smallness of
their farms, the constant necessity of
feeding the soil, and by competition
in which natural advantages were
against them, to reduce agriculture to
a strict science upon every farm, that
every foot of land should produce the
very greatest yield in that which was
most profitable, where would they look
for competent help in sufficient num-
bers? How many farms are there in
this country whose owners would be
willing to leave them in charge of the
help-the best, perhaps, that it has
been possible for them to secure. There
are thousands of them. A man who
can thus be trusted with the care of
every department of the farm-who
knows what to do and how to do it, in
the field, in the barn, in the dairy and
among the stock-and happily, al
though too few, there are many such
need never be without place or to
work for low wages. His knowledge
of his business is real capital to him,
and usually it is not many years be-
fore he is his own master and the own
er of farm. But when there is one
of this kind, there are ten who take no
interest in the discharge of their duties,
and lack of interest is a prolific source
of general ignorance of any business.
The days duties are performed in a
mechanical way and the work imrrop-
eriy performed. The eye of the farm
er must always be upon such help even
to insure the work being imperfectly
done, and at the end of the season
losses are found in the neglect to prop
erlY cultivate the crops, to properly
garner the harvest, in the rough han
ding of the cows and other stock, and
from the general Incompetence of men
who are as unfit for the farm as they
would be for the pulpit, and perhaps
