Mr.. Haskell replied. He called attention
to the great Importance of the consideration
of the Registration bill. He thought the
House would be recreant to its duties if it ad-
journed without transacting important public
business submitted to it.
Mr.. Earle favored Mr.. Aldrich's resolu-
ton. He knew of no new events that had
made business, which the House regarded as
unworthy of disposition at the last session, now
worthy. The question was merely wheth.
er the House should dispose Of the Supply
bill and go home, or whether it would open
the door to food of business.
The discussion of the resolution continued
at some length, Messrs. Callison, Buist and
Hutson favoring, and Messrs. Cooke, Davant
and Johnstone opposing it.
Mr.. Simonton thought that Wednesday
would be proper day for adjournment, as it
would give full time for the consideration Of
all business now before the House.
The suggestion was accepted as an amend
ment to the resolution, which was then agreed
to. Yeas 7S, nays 26.
A resolution, introduced by Mr.. Callison,

They take the ground that Grant has the ma

Mrs. Hancock.

Mrs. Hancock, the wife of the general, is II
few years his junior in age, and ms n woman
is ms imposing in appearance as he is as u
man. Tall and well proportioned, with a
most winning smile, n manner that puts you
at your ease at once and pair of eyes that
animate every line of n handsome face, she is
still a beauty, although her hair is becoming
streaked with gray. She was married when
the general was but a young lieutenant doing
duty in the far West. 1t was entirely love
match and neither of them have since regret
ted tin fact their home is one of the hap
piest imaginable. Mrs. Hancock has always
been opposed to her husbands becoming u
candidate for the Presidency, and she is even
above the weakness of wishing to be the mis-
tress of the White House. She breads the
worry of the canvass and if her husband is
elected she thinks that the honor which the
position brings will be dearly purchased by
the remuneration of all domestic life for four
years to come, and of his position as senior
majorgeneral and chances of soon becoming
chief of the army. While she prefers her
own home existence, however, there is no
one better qualified to play the hostess on a
grand scale than she. A society belle, even
after her marriage, she has all the selfconti-
dence and resources needed to entertain the
most varied company. There is nothing in
the range of conversation about which she
does not know something. Her greatest
charm however, Island it is the generals
also-the art ofmaking every individual atom
feel as if he were the one sole object other at
tentiOns.

Fruit trees and poultry have. an affinity for

chicks find every bug, worm and egg that
sooner or later works harm to the tree, and
their droppings enrich and promote ahealthy

Watering Gardens,

In the summer droughts which now and
then occur, it is common to see persons
everywhere at work watering the garden to
keep things alive until the regular rains come.
1t is, however, the experience of all, that the
more n garden is watered the more it wants
and thus on the whole it does little good
Yet water can be so given as to be free from
this objection. 1t is the hardening of the sur
face which causes the evil and hard, conf
pact surface always dries out faster than Il
loose one. The proper way is to take the
earth away for n few inches around the plant
to be watercd, so rs to make a sort of basin,
and into this pour the water, letting it grad
ually soak away. After it has all disappeared
and tue surface gets a little dry, then draw
the earth back again which has been
misplacedto make the basin. This will make
loose surface over the watered part, which will
preserve it from drying out rapidly. Toma-
toes, egg plants, cabbages and other things
of this character watered in this way, will
need no renewal of water for several weeks
1t is slow way of getting work done, but il
is the only sure way ofdoing t.-Ge'm'dnto'cm

interesting:
At political meeting, the speakers and
audience were very much disturbed by man
who constantly called for Mr.. Henry. When,
ever a new speaker came on the stand, this
man bawled out

After several Interruptions of this kind at
each speech, young man assembled the plat
form and was soon airing his eloquence in
magnificent style, when the same man as be-
fore was heard bawling out at the topof his
voice.

Henry to make speech"
The chairman arose and remarked that it
would oblge the audience if the gentleman
would refrain from further calling for Mr..
Henry, ms that gentleman was now speaking.

THE GREAT HARPIST.


When first, all radiant with the dyes
Just caught from glowing sun and skies,
Her misty mantle cast aside,
Young Earth shone forth, Times peerless
bride,
Upon that bright suspicious morn,
Ia glad oul-to life was born,
And first my harp with strange sweet sound,
Woke the great silence brooding round.
Harping flew DER mount and plain,
Till Echos voice had caught the STRAIN
/ taught the trembling leaves to sigh,
And ope'd the violets tender eye.
When high the angelic chorus rang,
And the bright stars together sang,
As the grand anthem rolled along,
Mounting, Joined the heaven-born song.
Child of the SUNNY life must be,
Parent commensurate with thee:
In harpings Wild or soft and low,
AT thy high hest ever go.
The soul of music we command,
Earth yibrates plant meath my hand,
Rocks find voice, whilst yon tall spire,
Thrills meath my touch-a living Tyre
The abundant grain, the leafy sward,
In trembling notes confess their Lord;
! sweep old Oceans restless wave;
1t answers from each echoing cave.
Brave toiler, meath the noon-tile heat,
bring to thee solace sweet
Strength renew, and all day long
The scythe keeps measure with my song.
soothe the weary brow of pain,
whispering of hope in low refrain,
The dropping earth sing to cheer,
And faint flowers lift their heads to hear.
When some white soul for heaven takes wing
In the thick pines sweet dirge sing;
Yet in the tempcst's, fearful hour,
My breath doth lend the gale its power.
These dark DISCUSSES mercles prove,
My life, my mission, still is love;
To harp and sing from morn to even,
Till earth dissolyes and all is heaven.

Iniuring Young Trees.

We have not the least doubt that allowing
trees to bear heavily when young is injurious
both to the health of the tree and its future
bearing. We have noticed on several occa-
sions that whenever young trees were allow
ed to bear unreasonably, it affected their fu-
ture bearing for two or three years. We
have seen the early product of a tree reduced
from one to three specimens, the number be-
ing increased with the increased age and Vi
gor of the tree, and have found the tree after
wards, to go on bearing regularly. 1t is the
same case when a tree, of whatever age it may
be, is permitted to mature three times rs much
fruit as il ought to do.

The tale of labor telling;
But oft he marked, with envious eye,

MY horse has lost shoe, John,
And that's the least of all my cares,
But cares don't come to you, John,
The lightning struck my barns last night:
My child near death Is laid John;
No! life is not what folks suppose,
TITS not of roses made, john"
And then the Squire rode sadly off.
John watched him in amaZement;
And, as he watched two faces bright
Peeped from the open easement.
He heard his wife's voice, sweet and low,
His baby's merry laughter;
John gave his anvil such blow
1t shook each smoky rafter.

For all his land and money;

But not such roses bonnyr

FROM SMALL BEGINNINGs.-It is not ne
cessary that a boy who learns trade should
follow it all his life. Governor Palmer, of H.
linois, was a country blacksmith once
Thomas Hayne, rich and eminent lawyer,
also of Illinois, was once a bookbinder.-
Erastus Corning, of New York, too little to
do hard work, commenced Us shop-boy in
Albany. When he applied for employment
he was asked: "Why my little boy, what
can you do?" "Can do what l am bid,''
was the answer, which secured him the place.
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, was a
shoemaker. Thurlow Weed was canal boat
driver. Ex-Governor Stone, of Iowa, was a
cabinet maker, which trade Stephen A. Doug
lass also worked at in his youth. Large num-
bers of men of prominence now living have
risen from humble life, by dint of industry,
without which talents is as gold coin on a
barren island. Work alone makes men
bright and it does not alone depend on the
kind of work you have to do, whether you
rise or not it depends on how you do il.
