Weeping Willow.

1t should not be forgotten that beauty
can often be acquired without great
cost By studying the character of a
piece OF ground and adding to that
which already exists, we can often make
place attractive as if we attempt
wholly to initiate at great cost some
pleasant garden scene that exists else
where.
In nothing is the adaptation of simple.
instead OF expensive means, of adorn-
ment better shown than in the emplov-
ment of trees for shady summer bowers.
instead OF the hideous lumber-work ed
buildings so often seen. These are yery
well in the cooler European climates.
but useless in American gardens. Thew
are always hot and unpleasant, but this
IS not SO often the case when a mere
bower of living trees is EMPLOYED to
make the necessary shade. The green
mass is in Keeping with other trees and
the crowdlng necessary to accom-
pllsh the desired shade can often
be be turned to the very best account.
This is especially the case when
weeping trees are employed. The
peculiar dropping habits comes into
play IN numerous ways in the hands of
a good landscape gardener. Of the fast
growing things of this kind, and where
the position is not particularly choice.
tnere are few things more useful than
the weeping willow. For more select
places we suppose there is nothing bet
Ter than the weeping ash. Indeed,
taken all in all, it is one of the best
trees of this kind we have. The
branches can be trained over wires, and
thus we can make the room beneath the
trees as extensive as one could wish.
For very large spots, half dozen or 50
can be used. Set in one circle, and the
trees about twenty feet apart. Such
an arrangement would make a delight
full croquet ground-or place for bar
ties or pienics- entirely in the shade,
yet with an abundance of room and a;r
all round. - '1'
Of good weeping trees adapted TO
capacious shade, there is now the ween-
ing yellow elm, weeping beech, Weep
ing poplar, as well as the ash and will
low already noted.
Many other kinds of weeping trees
are rather ornaments than extensive
glvers OF grateful shade. Of vines and
such like plants for shady arbors we
have already spoken, and although thew
necessltate an expense which the mere
weeping tree does not entail, they have
many ample compromising charms. The

Taking Liberties With a Friend.

There was ward meeting at Calves
ton few nights ago and the coming
man made a little speech to the bows.
Among those present was Gilhooly, who
was supposed to be friend of the COM
ing man. Much to the surprise of the
speaker, as soon as he got under way
Gilhooly began to be disagreeable.
When the coming man went on to say
how much he loved to serve the people,
Glhooly said, in loud voices .sThat's
lie, and you know it." The coming
man did not care to have row and en-.
deavored to proceed quietly, but Gil
hooly kept on making such remarks as
What was your name before you came
to Texasp' You amt fit to be elected
dog pelter, and you know it." Finally
patience ceased to be virtue and Gil
hooly was elected. Next day the COM
ing man met Gilhooly, who told him he
was sorry that he interrupted the meet
ing and abused him so, but it was a
sacred duty he owed himself. "What
do you mean by abusing me that wayp''
said the coming man. "Well, YOU see.
the other fellow that is running against
you has promised me q deputyship if I
place him under obligations, SO hope
you won't object to my taking little lib
critics with an old friend like you by
calling you thief and a rascal occa-
sionally." ssYou needn't abuse me to
help him. You can go about praising
him, if you want to.s 'I can't con-
scientiously do SO. l can't praise him,
because l have no respect for him; SO,
you see, / have to abuse you because
you are a gentleman. 1t would hurt
my feelings to have you think would
praise a man who did not deserve it,,

The Best Farming.

The best farming is that which pro.
duces from mans land the largest net
profit without impairing the soils ca.
pacity to produce. The average farme,
tllls his acres for profit, and not for the
purpose OF coming into the possession
OF abstract truths. Ninety-nine farmers
in hundred will accept the above def
milton OF the best farming; the hun
dredth farmer, in an experimental way.
expects to be of great benefit to bis
class; makes an assignment for his
creditors benefit, and is useful to his
neighbors simply as warning.
According to the definition given
above, the best farmers in the New
World are found in New York State.
In some regions the farms are hilly.
and so stony that the cobbles taken from
the soil are plenty enough to fence the
land with solid walls; but eyery knoll
and hillside is cultivated for all it is
worth, and all the stones are found in
the walls that enclose the productive
helds. In those regions, fertilizers, ex-
cept such as are produced on the farm,
are too expensive to be largely used.
Inc farmer must manage to get crops
without buying fertilizers, or decreas-
ing the producing capacity of his land.
These farmers avoid exhaustion of the
soil by skillful rotation in the uses to
which their fields are put, and that is
why they deserve to be called the best
farmers in the New World.
The practical farmer usually has pro-
found contempt for what he terms
= book farming" He considers the
farmer who talks more than he plows
as little else than an imposter. Thor
oughly understanding his own soil. as
an instructor understands pupil who
has been for long time under his tut
ton. he is apt to carry this feeling too
far, and to refuse to hear some truths
which person a scientific education
might impart to him, and which would
be OF considerable eneit.-Sprinafeld

While upon a concert tour in New

While upon concert tour in New
England he went into q barber's shop
in a small town, where he was to play,
in order to be shaved. As he entered
the shop he found the barber fiddling
away with more strength than skill.
As the barber began to lather the mu-
sician's face, the latter remarked, $50,
you play the violin?" go, yes," was
the rejoinder I" l am going to hear the
famous Ole Bull tonight, and l expect
great treat. Have you ever heard
him?" "Often.'' said the yiolinist.
How do you like his playing?" con-
tinued the barber. 90, he plays pretty
well, but | am never fully satisfied with
his work" "1s it possiblep" asked
the barber. :" WE'LL" said he, IL am
going to hear him tonight and I shall
Judge for myself" When night came
Ole Bull discovered the barber in the
audience, most attentive listener.
When the violinist entered the shop
again the next morning to be shaved
the barber said, 81 have broken nv
fiddle all to pieces" Ole Bull made
him present of a good violin and gave
him, from time to time, some most
Valuable INSTRUCTION.
Meeting beggar in the streets of a
European city, he threw some money
into the hat of the mendicant ssHe is a
Dane," Ole Bull remarked TO his COM
panion, but he must not starve for all
that"
One instance is recalled when, hear
ing that a distinguished clergyman had
been engaged to give a lecture for the
benefit of struggling parish and had
taken more than the receipts for his
pay, Mr.. Bull volunteered his services
and freed the society from debt. He
was far from being well on the night of
the concert, but he braved the inclem-
ent weather. saying: " If this had been
an engagement, whereby 1 was to re-
ceive payment, I should have felt like
breaking it, owing to illness, but can
not be excused when such noble cause
is to be assisted"
He disliked rules and creeds with a
feeling approaching detestation. He
created his own canons of art and he
changed them at pleasure. A we'll
known Boston conductor once pleasant
iy accused Mr.. Bull of never PLAYING
the same piece in the same teaupt. "Of
course not" was the reply; :. any one
can follow the time in the same old
way; 1 never feel in the same mood
twice. Why should I always play in
the same time and with the same colorp
1t is your plodding nobody who is sat-
lsfied. l am ambitiousr' The conduc-
tor appreciated the wit, if rot the logic,
of the reply.
1t had been his intention to write a
work upon the violin, and he had. in
fact, laid out the work, but it is feared
that many of the suggestions he might
have at least submitted to students of
music will not be given to the world,
unless his widow. who is thoroughly con-
versant with his ideas, should think
proper to publish them.
