Hints to Farmers.

| increased crops anu diminished
expenses are the remedies for har,
times. During the months between
now and planting, consider careful
" how this remedy may be applied
Begin this autumn by carefully Sc
iecting IRON your crops the seed
for next years use; for, as we have
rep aatedly shown, good seed is a
the foundation OF large crops. Con
slider carefully whether to plough
in the fall or spring, bringing al
your past experience to bear ON
your decision. Stop ali the wastes
that You find, and even seek care
fully for the wastes to be stopped
Review your past failures and sue
cesses, and search out the causes
which operated, and decide now to
obviate the one, and gain the other
the coming season. Carefully re
tiect on your methods of feeding in
the winter months, ard ask your
self whether a change of system
may not be profitable. A dollar
saved here is a dollar earned, and
frequently the sale of one kind of
produce, and the purchase of an
other, brings profit. When hay
brings a good price and straw is
cheap, cannot the straw be fed prof
itably through the use of roots and
cotton seed meal, and balance in
money be secured? Have you ia
cilities for rearing spring lambs for
the next June or July market?-
More important still, consider how
much land you have which is not
anything, and yet can
be made productive. If you have
such land, it is certainly folly to
leave this capital idle. Is it a cues
ton of manure? Then carefully
scheme how manure may be best
provided, and whether you can pur
chase artificial fertilizers, and use
them advantageously. Now, before
the hurry time, is your opportunity
for studying into these things, and
deciding what fertilizer is the most
profitable for you. Have you all
the tools necessary for your spring
work If not low is the time to
examine INTO the merits OF various
and To calculate which
YOU can best afford to buy, if at all.

there has not been waste here

For the Citizen
Kiss Ne Good Night, Mother Darling.
BY W. q. WATSON.

Kiss me good night. mother darling,
For my brow is growing cold;
And tonight leave you, mother,
Life's sad story has been told;
Angels are waiting for me, mother,
And soon with them | will dwell;
/ am growing cold, dear mot her,
Kiss your darling last farewell.
When my playmates gather
Round the spot where I'm to lay;
Tell them am with the angels,
And meier more will join them in their play
Tell them to meet me, mother,
In that bright home above;
Where the angels keep watch DER US,
Where dwells happiness and love.

Our Wives.

A woman ten years after MARI
age is often a tiresome sort of a
person whose whole mind is ab
sorbed in her housekeeping and
children, her conversation seldom
rising above the level of gossip and
servants.
There is a great evil somewhere,
but what is it? The husband ac-
knowledges to himself that he is
disappointed in the wife he has
chosen, and yet he finds difficulty
in pointing out his mistake, and
hardly finds canse to blame her, for
is she not a faithful wife, devoted
mother, and a most frugal managerf
This mistake is a national charac-
teristic. So passionate and intense
is the American mind in pursuit of
its temporary interests that men will
suffer the chains of business to
bind them down and throttle them,
while their wives bend beneath a
similar yoke Of duty at home.
What is lacking is the power to
rise above the petty annoyances OF
daily life; we need to learn to dis
tinguish trifles from affairs of mo
ment, to know that every mole-hill
is not a mountain. We need not
forsake the upper stratum of senti-
ment, thought end idealty-tbe at
mosphere of the soul-becaus we
know there is lower one of routine
and smaller vexations, in which our
feet are told to tread. To breathe
in one is to receive strength and re-
freshmen for eXertion in the other.
1t is good plan to pick up needles
and pins from the floor, but picking
pins ought not to be made the chief
object of existence; for if we move
along with our heads constantly
downward, we most assuredly will
see nothing better than pins and
needles TO the end of our DAYS.

Sagaeity OF Bears.

A female bear, with two or BIS, approached
the ship | commanded, and was shot. The
cubs not attempting to escape were taken
alive. These animals, though at first evi-
IDENTIFY very unhappy, became at length, in
some measure, reconciled to their situation ;
and, being tolerahly tame, were allowed oo-
cAsionally to go at large about the deck.
While the ship, was moored to foe. few
days after they were taken, one of them,
having rope fastened around his neck,
was thrown overheard. 1t Immediately
swan to the ice, got upon it, and attempted
to escape.
Finding itself, however, detained by the
rope, it endeavored to disengage itself in
the following ingenious way Near the edge
of the foe was crack in the ice of con-
siderable length, but only eighteen inches
or two feet wide, and three or four feet
deep. To this spot the bear returned; and
when, on crossing the chasm, the blight of
the rope fell upon it, he placed himself
across the opening; then suSpending him
self by his hind feet, With a leg on each
side, he dropped his head and the most part
Of his body into the chasm and, with
foot applied to each side, attempted, for
some minutes, to push the rope over his
head. p, ~
Finding this scheme Intellectual, he re-
moved to the main ice, and running, with
great impetuosity, from the ship, gave re-
markable pull on the rope; then, going
backward few steps, he repeated the jerk.
At length, after repeated attempts to es-
cape this way, every failure Of which he
announced with significant growl, he
yielded himself to his hard necessity, and
laid down on the ice in angry and sullen
silence.

The Bath,

Like eating, drinking and sleeping, bath
ing, is very old custom. Homer sings of
the bath as venerable institution of his
early day. Anciently it was the first re-
freshment offered to guest. Nowadays we
profer warm meal, glass of cold water,
or some shot stuff" The public baths of
Greece and Rome were many and magnif-
cent. They were as common in the days of
Antonus, Diocletian, and some other en-
perors, as liquor7shops are in American
cities. The baths in those days, unlike our
shops, were used for cleansing the outside of
a person, and they were as pleasant as they
were common, because they were popular.
Pliny states that the Roman baths were in
definite in number, and like our LIQUOR
shops, "mightily frequented." Bathing
then, in many instances, like drinking now, j.,
was practiced to excess. Rich Roman women
bathed in the milk of she.asses, in order to
enhance their beauty; but people in health
have usually preferred water for bathing
purposes, and the purer the better. In
Christian nations, resort to it once day.
even in. the warmest weather, generally suf-
fees. Some, however, content themselves
wltha weekly, or semi-monthly ablution a
very few seem to think that water will
poison anything but the face and extremi-
ties, and here and there one will shun it al
together like mad dog. But most people
consider cleanliness next to godlness. In,
deed, in warm countries, some, religions
make cleanliness part of their creed. The
laws of the Jews and the Mahommedans re-
quire the establishment of baths and other
purifying agents. Pagans bathe in the
Ganges and other Asiatic streams, as re-
llglous rite, and it would not hurt some peo-
pie to do it in American streams.

Social Life i'm France.

With all their gayety, French people have
large circle of acquaintances. Their rela-
lives, of whom they are usually fond, absorb
them-monopolize their society There are
American families of cultivation who have
been living in Paris for ten years, and are
not on terms of intimacy with a single French
family, although they may have Frenehmen
constantly at their tables. In most of the
marriages occurring between American and
French families the bride has been American;
few Americans have succeeded in marrying
French women; and when such rare case
does occur, the doors of the interior are
thrown open to them, and they are made
acquainted with every feature of that private
life hitherto closed to them. These customs
show the barriers which surround the in,

An Old Norwegian Yessel-Curious
Discovery.

The Museum of the University of Christi.
ana now Possesses a remarkable relic of the
age Of iron; one of the vessels used by the
Vikings for their piratical cruises and de-
scents on the coast of France and England
We learn from the Sagas that while Pa
ganism lasted the mode of burial service in
use, at least for persons of note, consisted in
hauling ship out of the water, putting the
dead body in, and then covering the whole
with earth, so as to form tumuIus. Thus
according to Snorre's testimony, Haason the
Good, after yanquishing the sons of Oem-
mild at Rattarkair, had all the conquered
vessels beached and filled with the bodies of
the slain enemy, after which stones and
earth were heaped upon them. Such tu-
mulus was discovered in 1872, in the parish
of Tune, on Rolls island, near the Visterao,
tributary of the Glommen. The proprie-
tor, NJ. Ole Arsolen, had been exploring the
ground, when, through the exertions of
Lieutenant II. Bassoe, the Society for the
Preservation Of Norwegian monuments was
induced to undertake the work at its own
expense, and was rewarded by the discovery
sf the ship in question, which, in point of
preservation, has but one rival, which exists
in Denmark.
The Tune vessel has keel of a single
piece forty three feet long, but attached to
the hull by pegs only, the ribs being quite
Independent of it. The ship has breadth
Of thirteen feet and depth Of four feet, SO
that she must have been very fat. Poor
and PROV have both the same shape and are
very much damaged. The side-planks, from
ten to eleven in number on each, are an inch
thick; the nails have round head outside
and square one inside The gunnels are
gone; the ribs, thirty in number, at inter-.
vals of two feet seven inches, are composed
of three pieces, spliced together end to end,
partly with iron fastenings ard partly with
oak. The vessel was propelled by oars as
well as sails. The bones of II an and of o
