Don't Stay Late Tonight.
. The hearth of home is beaming
With rays of rosy light,
And lovely eyes are cleaning,
As fall the shades of night.
And, while thy steps are leaving
The circls pure and bright,
A tender voice, half grieving.
Says " Don't stay late 10 night"
The world in which thou movest
Is busy, brave ana wide:
The world of her thou lowest
Is at the ingle side;
She waits for the warm greeting;
Thy smile il her delight;
Her gentle voice, entreating,
Says " Don't stay late tonight"
The world, so cold, inhuman,
Win spurn thee If thou tall;
The love Of one poor woman
Outlasts and shames them all.
Thy children will cling around thee,
Let fate be dark or bright;
At home no shaft will wound thee
Then Don't stay late tonight"

Free Quinine.

The action Of Congress in abolishing the
the duty upon imported quinine has not
yet had the effect Of reducing the price Of
the drug; neither is there any prospect of a
reduction in the near future. The why and
wherefore is thus explained by local drug
gist: ''Quinine has for years had standing
retail price. he remarked, ''it is one Of
those commodities which are pretty station
AIRY as regards the figures obtained. When
the wholesale price has gone up we have
not increased the retail price, and if the
wholesale rates 60 down, we shall adopt the
the same course. The only way in which
the public viii be affected by the repeal Of
the tariff Will be getting an inferior foreign
drug for the same amount which was former
ly paid for good one"
That the retailing Of quinine is a profit
able part of a druggists business is shown
by the fact, although the drug can be OBJ
tanned at wholesale at So so per ounce, the
retail price ranges from one and a half cents
to two cents per grain. Reckoning 480 g=s.

EVERY man graduated from Williams
College within the last twenty-five
years has some recollection of Abe
Parsons, or Abe "Bunter," as he is
more commonly called, from his but
ting propensities. A correspondent of
the Boston journal writes: "Little is
known of his early life, but he was
owned as slave and ran away to OBJ
tain his freedom. The story is told of
his recognizing the picture of his old
mistress, who had aided him to escape,
In the room of one of the students, who
was her son, and that after that she
used to send him aid. The most power
full blows have no effect on his Uranium.
Two-inch plank are shivered at single
blow, and large sticks of wood broken
in two. At an agricultural fair he was
once giving an exhibition of his powers
by breaking cheeses, which had been
placed in bags, but grindstone had
been substituted for one of them. The
first blow failed to break it, but moth
ing daunted, he made the attempt the
second time, and sure enough broke IL
iuite to pieces. At a fire once some
men had been trying to break in a
strong door with axes, but they did not
succeed in making an entrance till his
power was put into use, when the door
quickly yielded. A thousand stories
might be told of his wonderful feats,
but nothing has brought him into
notoriety so much as his connection
with j. Frank Baxter, the Spiritualist
medium. At one of the Spfritualistic
camp meetings at Lake Pleasant, Bax-
ter brought up his spirit and gave
detailed account Of his exploits, but
Abe proved too lively a ghost for him,
as he was not dead, although reports Of
his death had been published. He is
now about seventy years of age, but
though he has given up some of his
feats he can still make quick work with

COmmOn-sense Flowing.

The depth of soil can alone deter
mine the depth of blowing. When the
soil is shallow the gradual deepening
of it should be sought by the use of ap-
propriate materials for improvement
until the object is fully attained. The
sub-soil ought not, as a rule, to be
brought out Of its bed except In small
quantities to be exposed to the atmos-
phere during the fall, winter and
spring, or in a summer fallow; nor
even then except when such fertilizers
are applied as are necessary to put it
at once into a productive condition.
Two Indifferent soils of opposite char
acter, as a stiff clay and sliding sand,
sometimes occupy the relation of sur
face and sub-soil to each other, and
when thoroughly mixed and subjected
to cultivation they will produce a soil
of greatly increased value.
Soils appropriated to gardens and
horticultural purposes are often deep
ened to fifteen and even eighteen inches
with benefit, and those for general-til-
age crop TO about twelve inches with
decided advantage. But whatever is
the depth of the soil the plow ought to
turn up the entire mass if within its
reach, and what is beyond it should be
thoroughly broken up by the sub-soil
ploW. When all circumstances are
favorable to the use of the sub-son ploW
an increase in the crop follows, as the
hard earth below the reach of the ordi-
nary plow has been loosened. This
permits the escape of the water which
falls on the surface, the circulation of
air and a more extended range for the
roots of the plants, by which they pro-
cure additional nourishment and secure
the crop against drought. The benefits
of sub-sO1 plOwing are most apparent
in an imperVious clay sub-soil and least
evident in loose and leachy soils.
On low or strong land the experienced
farmer prefers to see the fIrrOw left on
edge exposed to the action of air and
harrow. Sandy or dry soil requires fiat
ploWing, which tends to consolidate the
land.
As a rule those crops are the most
productive which are ploWed the often
est. Caution must be used, however,
especially after the second plowing Of
corn, when a surface-plow is less La
BILE t0 injure the roots than an ordinary
one. Cotton, while requiring that the
ground be stirred repeatedly, calls for
care in its cultivation after the bolls
begin to form.
As the turns made in plowing con-
sumes time it is economy to run the
burrows in the longest direction. Ac-
tuaI experiment has proven that the
time lost in turning short plots make s
large item in the expense aceount.-N.

The Wife of the JudlciOus Hooker.

That learned and judicious divine,
Richard Hooker, obtained his wife
somewhat casually. When he was or
dained priest he went to London, ac-
cording to the statutes of his college,
to preach at st. Paul's Cross. He ar
rived there wet, weary, weather-beat-
en- and very angry at friend who had
persuaded him not to walk, but to take
the journey on horseback, which had
prostrated him with influenza. His
hostess, one Mrs. Churchman attended
to him with all care and diligence.
Hooker was afraid he would not be able
to preach on the following Sunday; but
the good wishes and the good nursing
of his hostess nerved him for his duties,
ard he got through his work admira-
bly,. The preacher was very thankful
to Mrs. Churchman, who had cured
him of his distemper and cold, and he
thought himself bound in conscience to
believe all the poor woman said. Mrs.
Churchman told him he was man of
tender constitution, and thatit was best
for him to have awife that might prove
a nurse to him, such one as might
both prolong his life and make it more
comfortable; and such one she could
and would provide for him, if he
thought fit to marry. So Mr.. Hooker,
in his guilelessness, empowered her
to choose wife for him, and promised
to return to London at her call to re-
ceive his bride. Mrs. Churchman at
once attended to this little business for
Master Hooker. In looking around to
find him a wife, she thought it wise to
begin at home, and in her own daugh-
ter Joan, according to her Judgment,
she found one who would nurse the
preacher, prolong his life and make it
more comfortable. In due time Mr..
Hooker went to London to be joined to
the wife of his hostess choice; but she
brought to him neither beauty nor por-
ton. She was, sad to relate, woman
of an unruly tongue, and, instead of
adding to his comfort, she was an in
cessant trial to his patience. The moral
of this is: Choose for yourself Cham

Saved from Tobacco Smoke.

If a person given to any habit of dissipa-
tlon could have calculated beforehand all
its cost, from the time that it was begun,
he would Doubtless never have suffered
himself to become its servant. Many a
man by merely laying up what vice costs
him in money would find it a better iuYest-
ment than life insurance. An exchange
mentions the successful result of an expe-
riment in this line by Mr.. Hubbard, Of

when he determined TO lay aside, day by
day, the money he would have spent for
cigars had he been a smoker. At the end
Of each month he deposited the sum thus
accumulated in the saving bank. As the
price Of good cigars advanced he corre-
spondingly increased the meney laid by
each day. At times when his savings in
the bank had reached few hundred dol
lars he drew them out to make a more
profitable investment. By careful man
agement the fund at length amounted to
over SIS, 900. A few years since Mr.. Hub
bard took this money and with it purchased

A Queer Story.

SOME thirty years ago there appeared
in Philadelphia newspaper what pur-
ported to be an extract from an English
newspaper, to the effect that Mr.. =,
an English gentleman, had died in that
place, leaving by viii large estate to
a certain merchant in New Haven, in
the United States.
This act was out of gratitude to the
New Haven merchant, who had be-
friended him while sick and destitute
some years before, when he was So
journing at the Totine Hotel In that
city, a stranger in strange land. The
testatOr, unfortunately, had forgotten
the American Good Samaritan, but in
his will gave the locality of the store of
the MISUNDERSTANDING Block, 'front.'
ing the Greenland so described his
business and personal appearance that
it was evident to the public whom he
meant.
Every one congratulated the mer-
chant on his good fortune, as he was a
gentleman of some excellent, kindly
qualities, and had Just failed and gone
out of business. 1t was subsequently,
ascertained that the entire story was a
fraud, the alleged extract having been
written by the merchant himself and
inserted in the Philadelphia paper for
the purpose of getting credit in his des-
perate circumstances.
But here the funny part Of the story
comes. While the matter was being
agitated in this community, former
partner of the merchant, also in des-
perate circumstances, came out in a
card in a New Haven paper, stating
that he, and not the merchant, was the
real heir to the estate; that it was he,
and not the merchant, who had kindly
nursed the sick Englishman and loaned
him money in his distress, all the cir
cumstanees Of which were as fresh as
yesterday In his memory!
Both have long since died, the priv
ilege Of doing which even people
T." hard up" are not denied when their
time comes. AndnoW none of their blood
walk these streets to have their cheeks
tlnngle at this revelation.-NeO HdVen
