WHAT AN ODD FEBRUARY THIS is TO
BE.-The present February will be an odd
month in several respects. 1t will have in
the first place an odd number of days, ow>
ing to its leap year distinction. 1t will
have an odd number of Suudays-fve-
which is very odd for the shortest
month of the year--and one of the Sun
days will be Washington's birthday. 1t
will begin on Sunday and end on Sunday,
which is also odd The FIVE Sundays cor
respond in date with the five Sundays in the
following August, which is odd again. 1t
is said that no one now living will ever see
another February so odd nor will their
children, nor their children's children
sufficient in itself to make the month in.
terestiug. Many old superstitions are asso-
ciated with the month, which originally had
twenty niue days among the Romans in an
ordinary year. When TIE Roman Senate,
however, decreed that the eighth month
should be named after the Emperor Angus
tus, one day was taken from February and
bestowed on August, giving it thirty.one
days, in order that it might not be inferior
to July, called after Julius Caesar. Febru-
ary was then the month of publication,
from februum, during which the Ypercalia
or Februalia, were celebrated, the festival
beginning the 18th and celebrated annual
ly. Luperculuss, or Februus, was the god
of fertility, whose appropriate sacrifices
were dogs and goats. After the Offering,
two youths, patricians, were conducted to
the altar, when one of the priests touched
their foreheads with sword dipped
in the blood of the victims, and another
priest washed off the stain with wool soaked
in milk. Then the priests sat down to a
feast, at which wine was bountifully fur.

A SUCCESSFUL MAN ON MORALS
Boys, listen to me. am not sixty years
old and have made $4,000 by my own
exertions, l have fair English education
and am tolerably well informed but had
only known what was capable of doing at
fourteen years Of age, this day could have
twice the education, been better informed,
with higher standard of morals-a better
and wiser man in every respect, with double
the property. The trouble was lost half
of my valuable time between fourteen and
thirty, because l thought there was nothing
in me and it was not worth while to try.
am persuaded that the same feeling
keeps many a man at the bottom round of
the ladder all his life whereas, if he would
take hold with steady, firm hand, and go
MIN In thirty years. Try it, boys use rigid
economy of time and means; acquire all
the useful knowledge you can keep your
morals as pure as possible; be strictly tenn
perate; have faith in God; always tell the
truth. Your reward will be certain, both
in time and eternity. Remember that one
ounce of perseverance, seasoned with truth,
is worth pound of brains without truth.
The average man places too high an estimate
on brains and money.
Boys, what have said is our Arminian
doctrine, and is full Of truth. Now, let us
hear the Calvinist's side. The sins of the
parents are visited upon the children to the
third and fourth generation. Ifyour mother
was wise woman, full of virtue and truth;
your father a model offirmness, temperance
and truth; and your grand dparents on both
sides Of noble s.ock-thcre is no telling
what you may accomplish. But if your
mother was a weak woman, lacking in vir-
tue your father debauch and vagabond ;
your grandparents base people-the chances
are against you. Blood will tell. But the
redeeming point is this: Almost any OF
US have enough good blood in our veins, if
properly trained, to bring US to the front SO
we can make our mark and there are but
few of us who have not enough bad blood
in our make up to sink US into the depths
of infamy, if INDUCED in. So, at last, We
have our destiny greatly in our own hands

A STERLING OLD POEM.

Who shall judge man from his mannersf
Who shall know him by his dressf
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Pinces fit for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothe the glorious ore
or the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vest can do no more.
There are streams of crystal nectar
Ever flowing out of stone;
There are purple beds and golden
Hidden, crushed and overthrown.
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man upraised above his fellows
OF forgets his fellows then;
Masters, rulers, lords, remember
That your meanest kinds are men
Men Of labor, men of feeling,
Men of thought and men Of fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans cnnobling name.
There are foam embroidered oceans;
There are little wood-clad rills;
There are feeble, inch-high saplings;
There are cedars on the hills.
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me;
For to him all vain distinctions
Are rs pebbles in the seq.
Toiling hands alone are builders
OF a nations wealth and fame,
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and fatteued on the same;
by tho sweat or others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged feeling
Vainly lifts its feeble voice.
Truth and Justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is n sunny right.
God, whose world. wide voice is singing
Boundless love to you and me,
Links oppression with its titles
But as pebbles in the sea.

Guinea Hens on a Farm.-B.
F. Spald ofWatertown, N. J.,
writesrto the Philadelphia Rec
ord: On the 10th of April 1870
bought FIVE guinea hens and
a male, and fed them on crack
ed corn until the 27th of May,
when they commenced laying
eggs to the amount of three
hundred, and then Matched out
fifty young ones. They cost
nothing TO raise until snow
covers the ground, as they live
on insects and seeds from
weeds. l think with my expe-
Renee fifty guinea hens on a
hundred-acre farm would keep
the farmers insect enemies
away; besides, with proper care
he would secure over 5000
eggs. He could allow a few to
breed SO as to keep up the sup

The enthusiasm with which
the commissioner of agriculture
has encouraged and aided the
production Of sugar from sor-
ghum is well known. During
the past year he has succeeded
in securing forty-two different
varieties of seed, all of which he
caused to be planted in the

in the stalks of each kind at
various stages of growth. At
present the Early Amber has at
tanned the greatest develop
ment and analyses of the juices
have already been begun. The
investigation promises to be an
interesting and valuable one.
The department has also distri-
buted large quantities of sorgh-
UNI seed to different parts of the
country. and in quantity suffici-
ent for satisfactory experiment
in practical sugar making from
this kind of raw material. But
it's as yet impossible to pre-
dict what will be the yield in
sugar from this source, though
it is probable that it will this
year be written in thousands of
tons instead of thousands of
pounds as it was last year. 1t
is generally estimated that the
yield of stalks per acre will
reach fifteen to twenty tons,

buy it when at the cheapest, and

The gains of the spectators
are not made at the expense of
the general public. When a
speculation in a commodity
proves profitable to the specu-
lators asa body tits because, in
the interval between their buy
ing and reselling, the price rails
es from some cause indepenent
of them, their only connection
with it consisting in having fore
seen it. In this case their pur-
chases make the price BERN to
rise sooner than it otherwise
would do, thus spreading the
privation Of the consumers over
a longer period, but mitigating
it at the time of its greatest
height-evidently to the gen.
eral advantages.
OF all classes agriculturists
are most benefited by the OPP
erations of spectators. Take
last years extraordinary rise in
cotton; for example. Between
the Ist of October and the Ist
of February the price rose2 "a
per pound, owing to the oper-i
ations of spectators who be-
lieved that there would bean in
crease in the consumption of
goods sufficient to warrant the
rise in the price of cotton.
They over estimated the extent
of this increased consumption,
and between the Ist of Febru-
airy and the Ist of May the price
fell 3-4c. But in the mean
time the cotton crop had passed
out of the hands of producers,
and the larger part was sold at
the highest prices Had it not
been for the spectators the
south would be worse off by
millions of dollars than It's to-
day.
