Oh, blessed trust, whatever else betide.
Gods gates of gold are ever opened VIDE,
When infant feet press up the other sAse.
Only two tiny. smooth-worn shoes,
rwo stirless, voioeess shoes
And yet, can't refuse
The lessons they teach TO my spirit car
can bus hear
The messages OF love they bring,
Tne words oil hope they utter near,
The echoed songs they sing.
They whisper to me of their sundered bond,
OF the vale OF dark, and the light beyond;
OF the kind strong hand
That our darling led
Thro' the silent pathways Of the dead,
To the better land.
They tell me of earthly paths untrod
They lead me up 10 the streets 4 Goa:
And they show me the gate where she passed in.
Her garments unseained by the soil OF sin;
Aud, as | sit in this shrouded room,
They scatter the gloom,
And the night is aglow with light and bloom.
On, wee. worn shoes ye are richer to me
Than gold and gems OF NINE and SEA
For the bliss ye speak Is not bought and sold
More priceless than gems, more enduring tban

And her sandals of Joy can never grow old,
Tbs sandals iove-wrol ght, which her feet iniod.
Oh, the dam y, dimPled feett
Cherub feet, with glory shod,

best policy" holds in the fruit business SIS
well as in any other, and We would not have
the fruit-grower depart from this rule in or
der to make his fruit look extraordinarily and
deceitfully nice on top. We know that
pretty nearly all do it, but even this fact
does not prove the practice good or even
honest one. We wo.siidi like like to believe that
all farmers, and particularly all fFuit-growers,
were houest-strictly honest; not that one
was as honest as the average; nor that one
could justify practice such as we have
named, by quoting the same practice on all
the others. When wheat farmer sells a
crop of wheat by sample it is expected he
will show fair sample of the body of the
crop, and should he not do so the law will
hold him for damages, or void the contract of
sale. Now, the only difference between this
transaction and the selling of a pound box OF
fruit-strawberries, if you please-by placing
the largest and best berries on the top, as q
fair sample of the whole box, is in the size
of the transaction. The principle is the same
and the practice is just as indefensible, either
by neral or statute law. With this qualif,
cation we hold to our suggestion make the
fruit look attractive and inviting

This promises to be good year for plant
ing and raising late potatoes on the river
bottoms. On these lands this year potatoes
may be planted and make good crops as late
as the middle of July. Seed is cheap and
plentiful, and when this is the case the crop
is very likely to be scarce and the price high.
Everybody presumes that everybody else
will plant potatoes the consequences is that
but few are planted and few raised. This is
the almost universal experience. AS rule,
when seed potatoes are three cents pound the
crop Is so full that it cannot be cold for one
cent, and when the seed can be had at one
cent pound the crop brings three. Hence
we say this promises to be good season to
plant late potatoes. Certain it is that the
early crop will be short unl=s ID acre
age of late land is planted the late crop will
be light also. and prices run high next fan
and winter. On good land late potatoes can
be made paying crop at One-half cent a
pound Here then is something that is
promising this year for the lands yet under
water No other kind but the early rose
should be planted SO late az the time npmed
above, rs none other will be likely to mature
after that date.

SUGGESTIONS TO FAT PEOPLE.

No doubt it is unpleasant to be ex-
cessively obese; but the morbid dread Of
fat which has in recent years become fash
ionable, has, according to the London
Lancet, no foundation in physiological fact.
Fat answers two purposes it acts rs a
non conducting envelope for the body, and
protects it from too rapid loss of heat, and
it serves as store of fuel. In the course
Of exhausting diseases it not unfrequently
happens that the life of a patient may be
prolonged until the reserve of fat is ex-
hausted, and then he dies of inanition.
Fats supply the material of the heating
process, on which vitality mainly depends.
In great excess it is inconvenient; but the
external layings on of fat is no certain
measure of the internal development of
adipose tissue; much less does ten
dency to grow fat implyor even suggest a
tendency to what is known as 'ifatty de-
generation 1t is time to speak out on
this point, as the most absurd notions
seem to prevail. Again, it is not true that
special forms of food determine fat. That
is an old and exploded notion. Some or
ganisms will make fat, let them be fed on
the leanest and scantiest and least saccha-
rine descriptions OF food, while others will
not be fattsned, let them feed with the
most "fattening" of diets. The matter is
one in regard to which it is aupremely de-
sirable and polite to be natural, adapting
the food taken to the requirements Of
health rather than substance. Simple
food, sufficient exercise and regular habits,
with moderation in the use of stimulants,
compose the maximum of a safe and
healthy way of life.

MARKETING FRUIT.

The fruit season has fairly commenced.
Prom strawberries we have red raspberries,
b,ackberries, cherries and apricots, and pears,
peaches, plums aud apples will soon be in the
markets. Those who produce and sell fruit
for living viii therefore pardon us il we at
this time make a single suggestion. That
suggestion shall be in their interest, for We
would not take dime from the years re-
csipts Of r. psinstaking, Woodworking OF.
chardist. We want to suggest the idea that
fruit sells much more readily when well
sorted and invitingly packed, so that when
the box is opened the whole appearance is
inviting. This is the experience of every
body-buyers as well as sellers We would
make no exception to this general rule, but
we would add quali6cation-that the fruit
should be even and uniform from the top to
the bottom Of the box. Whoever buys box
of fruit of any kind, strawberries, rAspberries,
blackbersies, cherries and so through the list
TO apples, and upon using them finds that the
largest and best have been carefully sorted
out and placed upon the top, while the infe-
rior irregular and small specimens have been
as carefully placed at the bottom, feels dis
appointment bordering on disgust. Now this
is not what we mean at all when we would
suggest, well sorted and invitingly packed"
This kind OF sorting and packing may sell one
box of particular brand of fruit, but it will not
sell the second to the same purchaser. We
believe that the old rule that honesty is the

AGRICULTURAL SELECTIONS.

A CoLD MINE IN n Cow-One of the most
remarkable cows on record is the 10Th
Duchess Of Airarie, owned by the Hon, Mat.

ninth calf - red heifer, to be named the SGh
Duchess Of IIiilhurst, by 81 Duke Of Oneida.
OF the 105h Duchess and her daughters
calves, MIR. Cochrsne has sold the following
animals at the prices named: In the winter
of 1875 the bull calf, 4th Duke Of Hillhur5t,
at 81, coo at public auction in Toronto. June

vately, the heifer 9th Duchess Of Hillhurst,

or $50, 800 and 81 800 respectively; making
s total of S131 600 for eight animals sold.
He has still in his possession, besides the 10th
Duchess. Airdrie Duchess 4th. TIN Duke aud

The above result has perhaps never been
equaled by any one animal at the Same age.
Ia December, 1875, ar offer of S25, 600 for the
10Th Duchess was refused. and the same for
her daughter, Airdrie Duchess 4th. Since
then the old COW has brought three heifers
and one bull two of the heifers have been
sold for S33, 500. and there still remain the
bull and the heller just dropped besides the

PALACES REGARDING CRRAM-A micro
scopic examination of cream raised in vessels
exposed to the air reveals the presence OF
minute air or gas bubbles thus held. This
being the case, tie absurdity of all yenti.at-
ing appliances is apparent, as the means EN-
ployed produces precisely a contrary result.
| No matter how small the opening for ventila-
ton, il doors escape, air supplies its place
I flor nature abhors vacuum). and the imper-
vous coating of cream is quickly formed. By
the submerged system the butter globules
neither adhere nor oxidize, and the gases, if
any arise, meet with no obstruction, as the
same microscopic examination proves, and are
condensed and carried off in the surrounding
water. SO long as the milk is warmer than its
surroundings, its tendency ia to throw off va
pors; when colder, TO absorb hence the me-
cessity Of exclusion for perfect results The
theory of raising cream by currents in the
milk is a fallacy. Recent critical observations
have established the fact that the butter
globules rise because their specific gravity
il less than that of the other component parts
of milk; that they ascend in direct perpen-
dicular lines, the milk descending in the same
way, and that whatever current there is in
milk, is the consequence but not the cause of
their rising.-tWm. Cooley, before the New
York DairYman's Association,

A GRASS FOR THE LOW LANDS.

Wherever alfalfa can be raised in this State
successfully it is without doubt as good and
profitable forage plant as has been found.
1t will produce as much to the acre and of as
valuable quality as any other plant The
introduction of alfalfa has been of great BEN
eft to the State, but it has its enemies and
It's drawbacks The gopher and the ground
squirrel are very fond Of its large roots, and
wherever they abound it is very difficult to
keep alfalfa thick enough on the ground to
produce full crops more than three or four
wears from seeding. The best practice on
such lands is to SOW oats or barley each year,
and thus seed the places on which the alfalfa
has been destroyed and help out the crop OF
hay. On most of our large river bottoms the
annual ovelfows are an etfectual remedy
against the gophers and squirrels, so that
on these lands alfalfa does not suffer from
this cause. But the water is about as de-
structive to alfalfa as it Is to gophers, and,
except on the highest river bottoms, it Is be-
coming a serious question whether alfalfa can
be made safe and profitable crop. The
very high water that has been experienced on
the river bottoms for the past few years has
pretty effectually discouraged the farmers
with respect to this clover and they are cast.
ing about for some other grass as a substi-
tute. For the low, tule bottoms we would
suggest experiments with Bermuda grass.
This grass will certainly live under wafer,
~ : :, =,
be recognized as valuable forage and hay
making plant. The rey grasses-both the
italian and the Australian-will stand over
flows much better than alfalfa, and on
good damp soil viii produce as many
and as heavy crops as the clover.
Both produce good pasture grasses and good
hay, and we think may become coed substi-
tutes for alfalfa on all lands that are a little
too low for the latter We have sown the
seed of these grasses with the clover seed,
and have found tie mixture a good one, both
for forage and nay production. The hay was
of better quality than clover alone, and the
product was greater The tendency of the
rey grass is to make the clover finer, and
mixed in with the latter, added materially to
the grass product. We also found that an
overflow that eifectually destroyed the clover
left pretty good stand of the rey grass still
alive. The rey grass, however, is not like
Bermuda grass-water-pruof. 1t viii not,
Ike the latter, grow and send its leaves up to
the surface for breath. Experiments with it
are suggested.

THE MISFORTUNE OF DUMAS THE
YOUNGER. Had NJ. Dumas been content
to tread in the footsteps of his father, and
honestly to do his best as mere artist, he
would have been very considerable per-
sonage; his audacity, his ingenuity, his
intelligence, the cleverness, the patience
and the skill with which he writes, would
have found legitimate employment, and
the dramatic world would have been the
richer and the better by some admirable
work. Unfortunately, however, for all OF
us, the artist in M. Dumas had a kind of
maniac brother, who was determined to be
moralist and professor, and, being ever
so much the stronger, succeeded in bend
ing the other to his uses and forming him
after his own likeness. The consequence
is that his pieces are most of them sermons
in action. The Athenaum.

xonENs TENDENCY 20 OBESITY.

year or two ago the New York 7'S,3les
started the question, Are not American
women losing their thinness and ex-
pressed the belief that they were losing 1t
steadily and percepubly. Observation
shows that it Is SO, especially in large
cities, where there Is more ease and ma
teral comfort, more freedom from anxiety
aud petty cares, than there can DO in the
country. Our women do not look as they
used TO % or even Is years since. Their
proportions have vislbly increased, as most
anyone may see who will use his eyes.
New York will serve as an example, For
merly real stout woman there was pretty

women are very common, well-nigh too
common to be agreeable. And round
plump women of Anglo Saxon blood and
origin are conspicuously plenty. They are
numerous on the promenade, at places oil
amusement, at private entertainments.
Fullness of contour is no longer
the dividing line between other
nstionalities and our own. We
are getting more and more like the
rest OF the civilized world The pallid
compilations, narrow chests, fat bosoms
and angular figures of which we were wost
to hear SO much, are now hardly percepti-
BILE. They diminish every year. proving
that the general health of the country is
far better than it has been, and that we
more clearly understand Nature and Ma
lures laws. The present danger is that
women may acquire more adipose matter
than may be attractive. The tendency Is
obviously in that direction. 1t may not be
a great while before they shall compete in
corpulency with their English, French and
German sisters, not to name those of other
lands. 1t appears to be the rule that
women, in and after middle life, grow stout
when they are comfortably circumstsnced
