We may add s22 to pay for the labor in
applying this manure, making 800 as the
total cost of manuring one acre for say
twelve years, or 1888 year. We believe
that under this system, with good care and
tillage, more than average crops may be har-
vested through the whole time. (The solid
cow manure is for the top dressing every
other year of the last eight years)
On farms naturally rich and not run
down, when well farmed and all the manure
saved, the whole farm can be kept improv-
ing without the purchase of any artificial
fertilizer. Men with such farms need not
feel much interest in an article like this.
But the majority Of New England farms are
not of that sort. On our lighter and more
exhausted farms we may save all our ma
nure of both kinds, may sell nothing but
butter off the farm, may grow clover for
hay, and for green manuring by plowing
in; we may feed with as much rich feed as
we can afford to purchase, and yet with all
this and good tillage not bring up our land
as fast as we want to. The question with
such farmers is, " How can ] go faster wid
proftr We may timidly use few barrels
of ammoniated superphosphate, or special
fertilizer, to help along our corn and root
crops, but most of us do it with the feeling
that we may not be getting more than a
new dollar for an old one, and not always
that. Is there any other way to use chem
icals that will surely help us, and will surel,
pay us as a profit ? Well, we think there
is, and we give it 10 our readers as the re
suit of trial and experience during the las
dozen years,-done for our own profit and ad
vantage and now offered for what benefit i
may be to those who may have patience Il
read and confidence to test our way Of doing

YOU HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

When a man has drank up his farm, his house, his furniture when he has ruined his wife, beggared his children and lost his home; when he is too dissipated to find employment, too worthless to obtain situation; when no one can trust him when credit is gone, and the last cent is spent when no man IS will ling to treat him or give him penny with which he can obtain drink when every other resource has failed, and life has become curse. and he stands before the liquor-deaer's bar and begs for drink to quench his raging thirst and quietfor an hour the he'll of torment that rages within him, then the time has come to him !; and, as the liquor dealer shoves him out into the cold and darkness, he says to him, "You have had enough" He may plead, he may expostula!e, but in vain. "You have had enough" So long as he had in his pock- ct dollar ora dime, he had not 'had enough :" but when he had spent all, and comes for charity to the man who has robbed and ruined him, he makes this stereotyped answer, You have had enough" While his money lasts he may drink as he will; but when money is gone and all is gone, he has ''had enough."'
 Young man, entering upon a course of dis sippation, you may not know when you have had enough" When you are poor broken. down, penniless wretch the rum-seller will give you the information. He informs you, you have had enough" and you can then crawl into your grave In the Potters Field :; ''you have had enough" Perhaps you will prefer to determine for yourself when you have had enough" and if you will take the advice of friend, you will say. ''l have had enough now to last me as long as I live l drink no more."

HOME PROTECTION.

Why should woman be allowed to vote in case of local option as to temperance laws?
 l. It IS more difficult for woman to obtain a livelihood alone than for a man to do SO. and so she has deeper interest than man in the house.
 We are told by the physiologists that God has given woman attachments such as men rarely possess, and that on the average her heart is more earnest and intense than mans for the protection of children, and all the interests of the family fireside
 9 Woman's love of home is the natural ap- tagonist of the enemies of her home. and among these perhaps the most mischievous is intemperance.
 $. Woman is less incorporate than man. and so could be trusted te give purer vote on temperance laws. ft s4
 4. Woman is less complicated with party intrigue and political ambition, with desire for two offices and with business at large, and so would be more free than man to give a vote on the merits of the case.
 Q. A temperance vote by women would be test by which the theory of woman suffrage could be tried on restricted scale without danger.
 G. It would be an entering wedge, but only an appeal to experience. and the latter as it should reveal good or bad tendencies in the theory, would decide the result.
 Rum-sellers oppose the temperance vote of woman. suppose that nothing has ever stirred the rum-sellers of Chicago St. Louis. and Cincinnati quite so much as this move ment to give the temperance vote to women If you will show me what rum sellers do uol want, will show you what want
 $. The temperance vote is asked for by women Ill overwhelming numbers, most ot whom are not female suffragste.
 5. Such change as womans temperance ballot asks for IS not connected with hlgh theo. ries as to natural rights to suffrage, nor as to property qualifications.
 10. Under English law, women paving taxes can vote in the municipal and town elections, and this wider privilege, which has worked well, Includes the narrower one of woman s temperance vote.
 II In questions where the decision is su easy IS that between license and no license. Wonau's vote would not often be uninielliyeut and so would not add To the mass of the ieno rant suffrage.
 12. In questions so important to the home as those relating to temperance laws, woman's vote would not add essentially to the daugers of absenteesm at the polls, and of unexercised suffrage.
 Woman's temperance vote IS so likely |. save the home, and wreck the saloon, that it i> worth full trial. Woman's' love of home i. the natural enemy ot the saloon. and saN God give free course to woman's demand f0; the temperance ballot until, under home pro lection, the saloon is.throttled by woman i superb attachment for her children.

SOCIAL WINE DRINKING.

At religious convention, discussion on temperance brought up the "wine question" 7" A part of the clergy advocated it's entire disuse, and part the other side. At length an inf1u- ential clergyman rose and made a vehement argument in favor of wine, denouncng the radical reformers for attempting to banish this token of hospitality from use When he had resumed his seat, layman, trembling with emotion, rose, and asked if it was allowable for him to speak. The chair having signified that he would be heard. he said, "Mr. Chair man, it is not purpose, in rising, to answer the learned argument you have just listened to- My object is more humble, and 1 hope more practical. 1 once knew father in moderate circumstances, who was at much inconven- fence to educate a beloved son at college. Here his son became dissipated but after he had graduated and returned to his father, the influence of home, acting upon a generous na- ture actually reformed him. The father was overioyed at the prospect that his cherished hopes of other days were still to be realized
 Several years passed, when, the young man having completed his professional fstudy, and being about to leave his father for the purpose of establishing himself in business, was invited to dine with neighboring clergy- , man distinguished for his hospitality and so- cial qualities. At this dinner wine was intro duced, and offered to this young man, and re- fused pressed upon him, and again firmly refused. This was repeated, and the young man was ridiculed for his singular abstinence He was strong enough to overcome appetite, but could not resist ridicule; he drGnk, and feH, and from thGt moment 6ecGDae c c0nfrnsed drunkard, aud Io'a9 si,sce has tostssd d,usslt ards gTaUe.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING {?

Reader, what are you doing to stay the tide of lntemperance that is sweeping over OUT land, and wrecking in it's onward rushing course the fOndest hopes of many heart, burying beneath it's relentless waves the poor and the rich, the ignorant and the learned, men of genius and of influence, and leaving it's wake strewn with degradation and misery, heart broken widows and wailing orphans? Are you sitting with folded hands looking idly on, and in effect saying, What isit tome An, it is much to you. It may seem as noth- ing to day, but on the morrow that tide, rising higher and higher, may cross the threshold of your home, and the dearest idol of your heart, swept beyond your controlling influence, be wrecked body and soul. Why then sit ye there idle2 Up and be doing. There is great work for you to do. Will you commence at once? Oh that some voice coming from a heart warmed and filled with true charity, with pity for the tempted and fallen, could waken you from this lethargy, could rouse you to a true sense of your responsibility, and make you realize that an all-wise Judge will call you to an account. and ask what you did to save your tempted, fallen fellow beings from the terrible curse of Intemperance.

 5 MAkirhMel wmoFM-E Ekia Peun., Sept. 15. A genuine comedy in reallife was played here yesterday Mrs. Frances Kennedy is 6 young widow % years old. Her husband dIed about year ago from fall. Six months ago William Cumming came courting her, and, his attepsiens pot being gdistastefui to the wid- ow, she >dnaily Consented to marry him in 12 months and day from the date of her first husbands death. The happy day fell on' Wednesday, and the ceremony was to take place at the brides house. A magnificent wedding feast was prepared, and about 90 guests were invfed topafake oft. The hour appolnted for the marriage was set z for 6 P. M. In the forenoon the bridegroom elect ar- rayed himself in his best and went out to in. vite few friends In the country, who had been forgotten. The afternoon mail brought apostal card from him stating that he had conscientious scfuples about marrying wo- man so recently widowed. He would make it matter of prayer. and would abide the re- suit of his feelings when through. She was not to take this as positive decliaation to SI1@rhagS but1 did not arrive at 6 .o'clck P. M. she might consider the marriage off, Mrs. Kennedy did not faint or go into hyster- ics, but she decked herself in her bridal robes and smilingly received the guests bidden to the feast When the minister and all those with wedding garments had arrived, the lady called the meeting to order and read the recre- ant Cummings card. Loud and prolonged were the dennnciat ions of the absent groom's conduct.
 'This need not prevent the feast," said Mrs. sKennedy and the guests fell to ,banqueting immediately. After supper the room was cleared for dancing, and Mir. Washington Will Hams, an elderly bachelor, led the german with the bride. He became 80 enamored of her that within an hour he proposed, and was accepted. The minister was recalled, and at II P. M. Mrs Kennedy was made Mrs. Wash- ington Williams: The marriage had scarcely been performed when the door-bell was rung violently, and in stalked the conscientious Cumming. He had wrestled in prayer with the question, and had concluded to come back and marry. After being introduced to Mrs. Williams It was gently 'intimated to the, broken-up Cumming that the lateness of the hour suggested the propriety of his going.- From tue Czeoeland (Ohio) Leader.

g, Music in China is for the most part solemn affair, and the legend of it's invention is rather amusing Flo Hi, whom some experts consid-
 CT to have been none other than Noah, of wat cry memory, was emperor of the Celestials some 2, $50 years before Christ, and enjoys the
 reputationsof having discovered harmony of
 sound and the Chinese believe that bird
 which they call Foang Hoang introduced him to this knowledge. When the emperor was
 in the first throes of inspiration, so runs the leget d, the bird to him with it's mate ana sang to him in six different tones, making 8 scale containg twelve notes like our modern chro- matic. The Chinese selected five out of the twelve which they still retain, discarding the remainder as useless and calling them, with their usual depreciation of woman, kind, "fe- male notes." Such was the beauty of the first harmonies thus revealed to mortal China men by the heavenly bird that everyone who listened to the melodious notes became ahso- lntely good on the spot, which makes it seem 2 pity that it was not prolonged through the ages although the effect might5have worn off.
