It Is certain that Prof L. Grandeur, OF
the Agricultural Experiment Station at
Nancy, France, is not disciple OF Mr..
George Vielle. He very properly be-
lieves that 'meadows and cattle are not
heresies,' and if SO, he thanks God that
"French farming is still in the heresi-
archs," and holds that sit is more than
ever necessary to increase the production
of barryard manure, and to improve the
preservation and use of this important
substance" Further he says; I'm aeri-
culture, as in everything else, absolute
doctrins are unfortunate. However spe-
cious t e arguments to defend them NAV
be, however plausible and positive their
advocates may appear, they must be dis
trusted, especially if they lead to the con
tradictlon OF facts which have been set
tied by the experience Of ages. To work.
t. observe, to compare and experiment
without fixed opinions, and with the
single object of discovering q portion Of
truth, is the only sure way"

False Wealth.

The revelation made of the affairs of
Mr.. Harry Palmer, the colleague Of Mr..
jarrett in the management Of Booths
Theater, and the enterprislng and sue
cessful manipulation Of SO many great
dramatic and musical enterprises, has
been o great surprise to that portion of
the public which imagines because q man
has to do with business in which great
deal of money passes through his hands,
therefore he must be rich. Probably there
never was a time when so many people
who have the appearance of wealth we're,
IN reality, as poor as now. It is not
only the misfortune, it is the ruinous
fault of this country that every one tries
to manufacture an appearance of being
much better of than he really is Ex-

for couples notoriously fond. They have
no lovers quarrels, they do not display
anger one hour and tenderness the next,
either of which is equally diagreeable.
They preserve a well-bread consideration
and esteem one for the other, and glide
smoothly through apparent difficulties to
graceful conclusions. They demonstrate
the practical value of decorative art cop
led from the home into humanity, or
transferred, mayhap, from humanity to
tho home.
In this country, decorative wives may
be said to have come in with the latter
half of the present century. They are
foreign rather than native, but, having
became ingrafted on domestic stock,
they flourish as bravely here as beyond
the sea. They may be styled American
on the European plan.

Did our young readers ever think how
little it takes to stain their character! A
single drop OF ink is very small thing,
yet dropped into tumbler OF clear water
it blackens the whole; and so the first lie,
the first oath, the first glass, they seem
very trivial, yet they leave dark stain
upon your character. Look out tor the

old let him fear you, and until death let
him respect you. Until he is ten years
old be his master, until twenty his father,
and until death his friend; aim to give

| ners, that he may owe thee an enli ghten-
ed rectitude and not frivolous elegance;
| make him an honest man rather than
man of dress.

honor Of repeating conversations, opin-

Things boy learns at school is to eschew
tale bearing and keep faith with his COM

HAIR OF THE PRESIDENTS.
An Interesting Collection in the Patent Of
flee at Washington.

In the Patent Office at Washington
there are many objects of interest con-
nected with tho Government and those
who administered its affairs in time gone
by. While examining some of those OBJ
jects of curiosity nothing struck us so
forcibly as the samples of small locks OF
hair, taken from the heads of Chief Mag
istrates, from Washington down to Pierce,
secured in frame covered with glass.
Here IS, in fact, part and parcel of what
constituted the living bodies of those
illustrious individuals whose names are as
familiar as household words, but who
now live only in history and the remem-
brance of the past. .'.r.
The hair of Washington IS nearly pure
white, fine and smooth in its appearance
That OF John Adams is nearly the same
in color, though perhaps little coarser.
The hair of Jefferson is of different
character, being mixture Of white and
auburn, or sandy brown, and rat er
course. In his youth Mr.. Jefferson's hair
was remarkable for its brig ht color.
The hair OF Madison is coarse and a
mixed white and dark.
The hair of Monroe Is a handsome dark
auburn, smooth and free from any mix
ture. He is the only President, excepting
Pierce, whose hair has undergone no
change in color. -..... 0.+.,. E
The hair of John Quincy Adams is
somewhat peculiar, being coarse and a

in hand, with the smoke Of battle filing
the background, and its blaze flaming
from his eyes and Illuminating his face
with martial glory. Healy's is stripped
of oil this glamour, and affords painful
evidence of age and infirmity, of disease
and suffering; but the, wonderful head
still bears its leonine aspect while the
teel-blue eyes, undlmmed by time or ap-
plication, retain their former marvellous
power, and seem to look through the be-
holder. A duplicate Of this picture may
be seen at the Hermitage; the pose is
slightly altered, and the effect rendered
more agreeable and impressive. Yet it
is sad to look upon, and one at last turns
from it with sigh of relief. I
