Stopping a Newspaper.

An exchange has the following alle- gory, which we commend to careful con- sideration GA certain man hit his toe against pebble, and fell headlong to the ground. He was vexed, and under the influence of anger and self-suficiency he kicked mother earth right saucily. With imperturbable gravity he looked to see the earth itself dissolved and come to naught. But the earth re- mained, and only his poor foot was in- jured in the encounter. This is the way of man. An article in a newspaper touches him in weak spot, and forth with he sends to stop his paper. With great complacency he looks to see the crash, when he finds that he only hit his own toe against 8 world that does not perpetually feel the shock, and inlures no one but himself.

What One Lemon Will Do.

A piece of lemon upon corn will re- ieve it in 8 day or so. It should be re- newed night and morning. The free use of lemon juice and sugar will always relieve cough. A lemon eaten before breakfast every day for a week or two will entirely prevent the feeling of lassi- tude peculiar to the approach of spring. Perhaps it's most valuable property is it's absolute power of detecting any of the injurious and even dangerous in- gredients entering into the composition of so very many of the cosmetics and face powder in the market. Every lady should subject her toilet powder to this test Place teaspoonful of the sus- pected powder in glass and add the juice of lemon if effervescence lakes place it is an infallible proof that the powder is dangerous, and it's use should be avoided, as it will ultimately injure the skin and destroy the beauty of the complexion.

the border should be eight or ten feet long and about four feet wide. An ap- proved mode of preparation is to dig out the natural soil to the required depth and the length and width ncces- sary. If the soil bo stiff or damp small stones, brush and rubbish may be laid at the bottom as 8 sort of drainage. On top of this deposit the compost for the border. This may consist of two parts of good, fresh, friable loam, one of old, well-rotted manure, and one of ashes, shells and broken bones, all mixed to- gether. The top of the border when finished ought to be at least foot higher than the surface of the ground so that it may still remain higher after settling. When southern exposure which gives the vines the benefit of the suns rays all day can not be gained, an eastern exposure will often be found successful, especially with the early ripening varieties. Anorthern exposure ought to be avoided if possible, and if used the hardy, early-ripening varieties only should be planted.
 A RELISH FOR FARM STOCK.
 The importance of an occasional relish of salt and wood ashes for all kinds of stock cannot be too highly appreciated. The most convenient form in which these materials are offered, according to feeders of wide experience, is in solid mass, which admits of diligent licking on the part of the animal without gaining more of the mixture than is desirable. In order to mix these ingredients so that a solid mass may be formed, take salt and pure wood ashes in the proportion of pound for pound, with water sufficient to hold the mixture together. To pre- serve the mixture in solid state place it in troughs or boxes sheltered sufficient ly to keep rain and snow from reaching it and converting it into an alkaline pickle. These troughs with their tempt ing contents prove efficient as baits fol alluring animals, turned out on long runs during the day, home at night.

Law and Evidence.

They tell this story of a noted Hart ford attorney: He was very successful in his cases, so much so as to attract the attention and become the envy of the younger members of the bar. A young student, being about to set up his shingle in the world, went to the attorney. "Judge," he said, "you have been so kind to me that have taken the liberty of asking you question, as it may be of benefit to me in my career. What IS the secret of your success at the bar ?' "Well, George" answered the veteran, "we old barrlsters have our secrets, and generally keep them, as they are our stock in trade. I have taken considera- ble interest in you, and in confidence shall tell you my secret. When you take a case, always have the law on youl side-if you can. Ifyou have no law on your side, always have the eEidence on your side-if you can. But if you have neither law nor evidence on your side, then below and paw ground"

 ROT IN GRAPES.
 A correspondent writing on the treat ment of grapes to avoid rot, in the F1zr- n1ers' AdvocGte, urges the use of the spade instead of the blow in the prepa- ration of the land for planting. aHe says When one knows how to use a spade it is very simple method, much more rapid and less costly than would be thought. An acre dug to the depth of twenty to twenty-four inches costs little relatively. The vines find ample support in soil thus worked, and the grapes will not rot" It is further sug- gested that the soil about the vines be thoroughly worked in the spring with a spade, followed by four or five hoeings in the summer, whether there are weeds or not, in order to keep the ground con- stantly stirred. All cultivation should be done in fine weather and when the soil is dry. Keep the ground worked as deep as may be with the hoe. It will then remain cool, the vines will thrive and the quality of the fruit or wine be improved thereby. ] In garden culture, for a single row,

Very few of our staid class Of peo-

is popularity known as the "clubs' of
our large cities. New York is said
to lead all other cities in the Union
in the number and magniicence of

the resort Of men. The modern
