of the moon," and it appears above
the surface so that the moon gives it
light during its earlier stages ofgrowth,
perhaps growth may be more rapid
than if it terminated just at the be-
ginning of ''the dark of the noon" yet
we doubt greatly whether the differ
ence could be perceived by the naked
eye. An exchange says:
There vas never a popular opinion
or prevalent error without some sort OF
basis for it; and that which attributes
influence upon vegetable growth to the
moon, while it is a delusion for the
greater part, yet has some speck OF
truth at the bottom of it. Light is
necessary for vegetable growth. and
the increase in growth is in proportion
to the amount of light. In Northern
regions, where the sun does not set
for several weeks or months, the
growth of vegetation is excessively
rapid, corresponding to the excess of
sunlight, which is without intermission
during the nights. When the moon is
full and the nights are quite light, veg
etable growth will be increased accord
ingly. So far the moon has an effect
upon vegetation. but no further. To
suppose that it causes beans to Irvine
about pole, or to sprout downward
instead of upward, is an example of the
usual exaggeration in which ignorant
persons often indulge"
The superstition regarding the time
of planting to conform to the different
phases of the moon has probably no
better foundation than that Friday is
an unlucky day to begin a journey; or
that breaking a mirror portends
death in the family; or that spilling
salt will bring on a quarrel. Our adj
vice is: Get your soil in good order,
and then plant-moon or no moon

Old Slaves Just Getting Married.

CONSIDERABLE excitement was Gre
ated among the colored people last
week, occasioned by the report that the
Grand Jury would indict all negroes
who were living together as man and
wife and who had never been married
under license from the ordinary. The
excitement ran high, and negroes who
had been living together thirty years,
and had grown families, obtained
license, and were duly joined according
to law. During the days of slavery it
was not customary for slaves to be mar
ried by license, and consequently a
number of colored people are now liv-
ing together who were never legally
married. There was danger for some
parties, but not the old couples who
were married before the war.-Latmp-
kin (GG.) Independent.

Wisdom for Boys.

Do YOU wish to make your mark in
the worldp Do you wish to be men?
Then observe the following rules:
Hold integrity sacred.
Observe good manners.
Endure trials patiently.
Be prompt in all things.
Make few acquaintance.
Yield not to discouragements.
Dare to do right; fear to do wrong

ment.

THE SCARECROW.

TRUE STORY.
TIE farmer looked at his cherry tree,
With thick buds clustered on every bOugh;
q I wish could cheat the robins" said he;
/" If somebody only would show me how.
" I'll make terrible scarecrow, grim,
With threatening arms and with bristling
And up in the tree I'll fasteu him
TO brighten them half to DEATH" he said
He fashioned scarecrow tattered, and torn
O.. twas a horrible thing to see!
And very early, one summer morn.
He set it up in his cherry-tree.
The blossoms were white as the light sea-
foam.
The beautiful tree was lovely sight,.
But the scarecrow stood there SO much at
That the birds flew screaming away in
fright.
But the robins, watching him day after day,
With heads on one side and eyes so bright,
Surveying the monster. began to say,
"Why should this fellow our prospects
blight?
" He never moves round for the toughest
He's harmless, comical. tough old fellow;
Let's all go into the tree together,
For he wont bulge till the fruit Is mel
lOw!''
So up they flew; and the sauciest pair
Mid the shady branches peered and perked,
Selected spot with the utmost care,
And all day merrily sang and worked.
And where do you think they built their
nest!
In the scarecrow's pocket, if you please,
That, half-conceaed on his ragged breast.
Made charming covert of safety and ease!
BY the time the cherries were ruby-red
A thriving family, hungry and brisk,
The whole long day on the ripe fruit fed;
Twas so convenient! they saw no risk!
Until the children were ready to fly
All undisturbed they liv ed in the tree;
For nobody thought to look at the Guy
For robins ffOurishing family!

A RECENT essayist observes: ''The
ideal woman as the possible wife and
mother, the actual daughter. is hallow-
ed and glorifed by the genius of all
time. All that is right in it is SO in
timately allied with images of beauty
and tragic interest that the moral judg-
ment in this direction does not work
alone, but is stimulated and supported
by the constant guidance of an aesthetic
feeling, which every poet that ever
lived has contributed to FORM
