Pruning Apple frees.

With the exception of pruning diseased,
weak, rotten Or surplus leading limbs from
apple trees, and the forests of suckers which
spring from roots and branches, nothing
more is required in pruning apple trees.
This work is too often underdone, and not
unfrequently overdone. The only "heroic"
treatment justifa5le in the way of pruning
is when a tree looks prone to become I'M

Raising Turkeys.

Although hen-turkeys make the best of
mothers, their rambling natures do not fit
them well, in our climate, for maternal du
ties during the earlier stages of life in their
young Hence it is best to set turkeys eggs
under common hens that are less given to
travel, and have regular roostlng places
secure from all depredators. For two
months after Incubation, young turkeys
should not be allowed to be exposed to rain,
or allowed to travel in damp grass IN dewy
mornings

words, the hen will yield seven times as

Something Worth Knowing.

Every little while, writes correspon-
dent, we read in the papers of some one
who has stuck a rusty nail in his foot or
knee, or hand, or some other portion of
his person, aud that ]ockjaw has resulted
therefrom, of which the patient died. If
every person in the world was aware of a
perfect remedy for all such wounds, and
would apply it, then all such reports
must cease. But although we can give
the remedy, we cannot enforce its appli-
cation. Some will not employ it be-
cause they think it too simple; others
will have no faith in it when they read
it; others often think such wound of
small account, and not worth fussing
over, until it is too late to do any good.
Yet all such wounds can be healed with
out the fatal consequences which follow
them. The remedy is simple, almost al
ways on hand, and can be applied by
any one; and what is better, it is infalli-
BILE. 1t is simply to smoke the wound,
or any bruise or wound that is inf1amed,
with burning wool or wooden cloth
Twenty minutes IN the smoke Of wool
will take the pain out Of the worst
wound, and repeated once Or twice will
allay the worst case of Inflammation aris-
ing from wound we ever saw. People
may sheer at the ''old mans rem edy" as
much as they please, but when they are
afflicted just let them try it. 1t has
saved many lives and much pain, and is

A Question Of Damages.

Some lawyers take very practical views
Of cases in which they were retained. In
certain town in Missouri Squire G.. was
defending charge Of malpractice. A
colored man was suing for damages. his
wife having died shertly after an opera
ton for the removal Of cancer. When it
was Squire G's turn to cross-examine the
plaintiff, he asked, "Mr. Wilson, how old
was your wife when she died?"
"About forty-fve, sir"
oBeen in feeble health long tune, had
she not. Mr.. Wilson, and cost you great
deal for medicine and help?"

not?'
"Yes, sir"

s'About thirty five, sir"
SIS she stout and healthy, Mr.. Wilson?'
| eyes, sir"
"Then, Mr.. Wilson, will you please
state to this jury how you are damaged il
this case2"
Mr. Wilson had evidently never taken
this view of the matter, and could make
no answer. The good and true mer
thought he had made rather good thing
by his bereavement, and brought in {
verdict for the defendant.

as we'll as great virtues. Nobody liked
her. Nobody can love such an in
triguing, cold, and calculating woman.
But she was power, and it is the prov
ince of history to take cognizance OF
reigning forces. The great flaw in her
character was her willingness to be as
persed in order to crafty her ambition
to be willing to seem to all the world
to be only mistress, and conceal the fact
of her marriage. A great position was
dearer to her than reputation.
And she paid penalty for her am
bihon. She was insulted and neglected
by the royal family. The courtiers
Knocked her behind her back; her rivals
| thrust upon her envenonled hbels;
she was doomed to exhaustlng
formalities, she could not
| escape bitter humiliations. She was in a
false position, and when the King died
she was elected from the palace and
compelled to seek quarters in the school
she had founded-one Of the best schools
that France ever had. BY the pupils OF
ST. C7r she was adored. She lived to be
1S4, She kept her faculties to the last
because she had used them. She ap-
peared in the most interesting light when
she reigned in society by her courtesies,
her urbanities, her accomplishments,and
her good nature. And when the woman
reigns in society she fills no ordinary
sphere. She rises IN dignity when she
declines in beauty. 1t is the soul of a
woman which constitutes our most per-
feet Joys. A woman who rules the social
circle has an envied power. She may
break up the distinctions of rank and re-
Duke the arrogance of wealth, and destroy
the false and artificial, and exalt the
beautiful and the good. Such was Nine
de Maintenon in her best days. She was
the life of a social circle from her attain
ments, her wit, her accomplishments, and
her graceful manners. AS such she be-
came, not the equal Of man, but his
superior, his guardian angel and his star
of worship in that favored and glorious
realm which Is alike the paradise and the
empire of the world.

And her cheek flushed at the sight,
As she held it in her white

An Unnatural Father.

We take the following interesting in
cident from an article in Scrs6ner's on
Eugene Scribe, the French playwright:
One day Dupin brought Scribe new
piece. The latter read it and thought ii
detestable; still there was the germ Of a
good play in it. 1t interested him, and
he worked rapidly. It was IN two acts.
He made it one-act piece, added a
character, changed the other characters
entirely, without saying anything to
Dupin, and put it in rehearsal. In three
weeks it was ready for performance. The
evening it was to be brought out he in
vited Dupin to dinner. As they took
seats at the table, he said:
Let us lose no time, my dear fellow,
for want you to go with me to the gym
nase. have a ground-hoor box, the
front seats of which have been taken, SO
that, screened by those spectators, we
shall be unseen"
"Oh!is Michel at Christine by you2'
eyes"
':All alone?'
"No; there are two of u.s."
"Who is the other?"
sMy dear fellow, let us lose no time
It is already late: the play begins early
Dinner was merrily dispatched. They
reached the gymnase in time. The cur
tain soon rose. At the close Of the thir6
scene, Dupin said to Scribe.
"My dear fellow, what charming
play you have written. pom my word
you have put on the stage no better char
| acters than thatsoldier and that bar
How fascinating they are!"
AS the play went on, Dupin's delight
continued to increase, and he warmly
expressed it to Scribe. who archly smiled
| and said:
s'Surely you now know who wrote
the piece with me?''
II have not the remotest idea. But
beg of you, silence. l don't want to lose
| one word of the piece. It is charming =
Scribe smiled. Presently Dupin turned
to him and asked:
"Do you remember the piece carried
you three weeks since? Now it seems tt
me this scene is somewhst like the second
act of the piece left with you. Have
you read it? Do you agree with me?'
Scribe answered:
"Oh! if you think there is the least
| plagiarism, we will rewrite that scene.'
"Heaven forbid! Men continually hit
| upon the same ideas. The collisions OF
lite are constantly striking similar sparks
from different fints. But you have not
yet told me the name OF your partner.
'Sh---! the curtain is about to fall
We shall hear his NAME"
Presently the curtain came down annie
| applause which shook the theater to its
foundations. The curtain rose. The
stage-manager came forward to announce
the authors. Dupin bent forward il
| eager attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the piece We
have had the honor to play before you il
by Messrs. Scribe and---Dupin."
| The next instant Dupin held Scribe il
his arms and embraced him. Scribe ex
claimed:
Unnatural father! does not recog
nize even his own flesh and blood!''
Dupin rejoined:
II should like to know who would rec
ognize his children when they are changed
in the nurses arms!''
This was Scribe's partnership; he mad
the piece his own.

The trembling, neglected lamb,
And taught to the little lost one
The sound of the shepherds name?
Have ye searched for the poor and needy
With no clothing, no home, no bread?
The Son OF man was among them,
He had no where to lay his head?
Have ye carried the living water
To the parched and thirsty soul?
Have ye said to the SICK and wounded,

Have ye guided the tottering footsteps
To the shores of the tsgolden landw
Have ye stood by the sad and weary,
To smooth the pillow of death
To comfort the sorrow-stricken,
And strengthen the feeble faith?
And have ye felt when, when the glory
Has streamed through the open door,
And fitted across the shadows,
That had seen there before?
Have ye wept with the broken-hearted,
In their agony of woe?
