The Sexes In Etlucati,m.

In speech at a Dime. of the friends
of female school in Andover, Mass.
Rev. DR.. Peabody, of Harvard Univer-
sity, speaking of coeducation, said: THE
question that first presents itself is, Shall
the education of Young men and Young
women be in all respects the sameY |
would answer yes, If their destiny in
life, If their native proclivitv and ca
paeity, if the parts that they. in Divine
Providence, are TO fill in the world were
The same. But because they are not the
same, | cannot but think that there will
be iittingly a diversity in the modes of
training. The question is sometimes
raised Of the equality of men and wo-
men. | don't like the word. EQuival-
ency is the word, and that l maintain in
the fullest sense. admit no difference
IN the worth of native endowments and
capacities, and if admit any difference
rs TO the extent of influence, as 10 the
amount of good work done in the world.
1t must be ON the side of women GER
tainly, But | believe that woman can
not learn and do equally well with man
all the things that he does and learns,
and that man cannot learn and do
equally we'll with woman all things that
She learns and does. His is the wider.
hers theriCher field. His is the strength
of reasoning, hers the quicker intuition
and clearer insight; his the more easy
mastery of abstract sciences, hers the
far finer seeing nature, the keener sense
of beauty in art and in literature, and
the largest capacity ofculture in all that
pertains to the beauty, charm, ornament,
and joy of home society. ! would not
have the same culture pursued 10y both,
for should dread to find always in the
parlor Il duplicate of the counting room
or office. There must be q difference of
culture corresponding 10 the differences
of position in society. There are some
vocations of men which certainly ii is
not becoming that women should follow.
There are others in which, for obvious
reasons they cannot compete success
fnny with men. There are others IN
order TO pursue which they must forget
that which is more iitting-their first
province, the ornament of home life.
However, these two lines of culture, OF
the two fields Of culture, interseot each
other III many points, and have a great
deal in common. Certainly it would
benefit Young men were their scientific
culture of higher order than it is wont
to be, and believe that young women
are largely benefited by a more thorough
course than usual of scientific study

How the Farm was Bought.

a young man was very anxious To Sc
cure a piece Of land which was Just then
Tor sale on very advantageous terms.
He went to confer with friend of his,
who was banker, about the matter and
TO inquire whether it would be prudent
to borrow the requisite sum and pay IL
in regular instalments. lie thought he
should be able TO manage all but the
first installmeut, lie was advised TO
borrow from tho bank Il sum enough
larger than he wished TO raise 90 cover
the first payment, lay it strictly aside,
and then go ahead. But said his
friend, ''you must spend literally nothing.
You must make box and drop in ii all
the money YOU receive" The young
man and his wife went braycly to work
to follow his advice. If 1t was necessary
to dine OF Z head of boiled cabbage and
salt, they did 80 and never grumbled.
Every payment was promptly met Tho
egg money, and the butter money, and
the corn and wheat money, all went into
the paymcnt-boX, and at the specified
time the place was theirs, There was
an invisible wealth about such hard
earned possessions that common obsery-
ers knew nothing Of. On the day of the
last payment the young man presented
himself before his friend with the
money in his hand. There were no rags
to be seen, but his clothing was covered
with darns from head TO foot You sec
| have followed your advice" he said,
casting a glance over himself "and my
wife looks worse than | do, But have
earned the farm and now know how
TO earn another"

Busy Birds.

II is well-admitted fact by all my
laborers that my best and thickest crops

nine cases out of ten that they are IN

Gardeners who are sensitively particular
about the appearance of their gardens,
and hate fowls, see, however, what takes
place. An intelligent chemist worked

mdisturbed sway, and deyoured every

and understood their habits, therefore
he gave them free access to his garden

there are times when you should protect

customers, for they must be fed like
sheep, or pigs, or cattle; and they always

Lake Tahoe.

Lake Tahoe is great fresh water
body, twelve miles south of Truckee. t.
l1csin two states, California and Nevada;
three-quarters IN California and the re-
mainder IN Nevada. Tahoe is an Indian
name. meaning hlg water or deep water.
Here, at an elevation of mile and
quarter above the ocean, shelved in its
ruck-bound basin, rests this inland sea,
twenty-five miles long and ten wide Its
blue waters are encircled by hills mo-
Sucked with trees of evergreen and
patches of pure white snow. Pebbles
may be counted, and trout may be seen
sporting at a depth of eighty feet, SO
clear and smooth is the water. Ii changes
color according to the depth, from q
beautiful pea green at the shores to an
indigo blue.
1t has been sounded to depth o..
5000 feet, aud is SO cold, even in SUM-
mer, that The water, when taken from
below the surface, is near TO the freeza
ing point, although it never freezes in
the coolest weather. Fish abound in
the waters near the shore, among which
are four varieties of trout, The silver
trout is considered the finest and is
always taken in deep water sometimes
weighing thirty-two pounds.
On account of the rarity of the ntmos-
pierre the waters are not very buoyant,
objects sinking ike lead. Nothing ever
floats on the surface. Great logs which
have escaped from the hands of the log
gers, soon sink and are seen no more.
At times the lake Is calm and peaceful
us q smiling babe, again it il in a mo-
ment dashed 10 fury and beaten to foam
by the winds that spring up IN the cam
ons and sweep across its waters, But
look mt the lake when and whore you
will, it is scene of beautiful grandeur
which pen and pencil have striven in
1ain to portray. You must see il 10 be

Copperas. Water and Tomato Plants.

A writer says: ain Erie, | bought six
tomato plants foy early use. ! set them
out near the house. When they began
to grow nicely, ] watcrcd four plants
with a solution of sulphatc of iron, com
monty called copperas, three times. |

with water and in this dissolved five
pounds of copperas. Now for the re-
suit The plants watered with the solu-
ton were two weeks earlier than the
others My diary says; October 9th,
1877 Picked tomatoes of second growth,
and third crop growing, and vines still
blooming. The two vines unwatered
with the solution were at the time dead.
] tried il again this year, 1878, with
the same remarkable results--two crops,
early and late. The tomatoes Of both
crops were nice and large and delicious.
As my cask sat in the garden, the rose
bushes and other Towering plants got
occasional contributions of it, and
flowers produced were extraordinarily

Astronomical Phenomena.

The brightest particular star now seen
in the heavens is Venus, which shines
with great brilliancy in the western sky
Immediately after the setting of the sun,
every day lengthening her distance from
that luminsry and increasing her sppa-
rent size and brillisncy. She will reach
her greatest eastern elongation on the Goth
of February, and will set later and later
each evening till that date, when she will
begin again to Apr )sch the Sun.
The nearest rival to Venus in bright.
ness is Jupiter, the two now approaching
each other and continuing to do so till the
21st of February, when they will be in
conjunction, Jupiter then being only
three degrees south of Venus. What

DISPATCHES from Ireland, each day,
bring fresh evidence that the little green
island Is hurrying on by strides and
bounds towards wholesale revolution.
Yesterday, land league meetings of the
most incendary character were held
throughout the country, Orangemen and
Romanists being alike demon str.tive in
tLeir hostility to the British Government.
Many landlords are fleeing to England,
while others are barricading their halls
and soliciting military attachments to de-
tend them against their tenants. Process
serving has been almost wholly aban
doned, owing to the unsettled state OF
affairs, but unlucky stewards who chance
to be unpopular and are obliged to travel

the Russian Nihilists, very poor of aim,

oxen, etc. The Torpare are cottagers
