things the light of the Christmas
candles fell upon the dark leaves
of the holly; here and there the
white berries of the mistletoe re-
fected back the subdued glimmer.
1t is sad picture, a hospital on
Cristmas eve the shadows of the
place seem so signiticant--such
tender memories hover about the
narrow beds.
The new nurse came into the
ward while l sat there. 1t was a
sweet face, as | saw it with the
light upon it-a broad kind, sad,
plying face. Ncwbold looked at
her curlosly, s.as she entered. Then
he raised himself up suddenly. and
before I hardly knew what had
happened, he was locked in her
arms.

man whose face was lying upon his

new strength at that moment. 1t

sound close up to the windows on
its way down the river. sThank

leaped with a strange Joy. l felt

she was sitting by his side holding
his hand. His face was as if an
angel had been there.

Her story is soon told. She lost
her husband in the Crimea. After
that she Joined Florence Nighten-
gales band of nurses, and event
ually came back to England. Prov
idence sent her to the Sevcnshire
hospital on Christmas eve--sent her
that George Newbold's last hours
might be solaced with her tender
words and happy memories of the
Christmas days that were gone. Ii
it were not presumptions to think
that what befall afterward were not
accidental. | could fancy that
some special consideration for the
poor hospital surgeon also filed up
the Proyidential design. The

A pathetic scene occurred a few days
ago in the penitentiary at Little Rock,
Ark. A young man, twenty-three years
old, one Of the train robbers recently SEN
fenced to seventy years Imprisonment,
complained Of being i'll, aud was sent to
the hospital. He appeared to be suffering
from no disease, but his pulse was up to
l4O. His heart seemed to be brea King on
account Of the severity of his sentence.
Tears fell from his eyes as he thought of
the long years of Imprisonment before
him. His mind began to wander and in
his rawlings he quoted sentences from
the pernicious literature which had led
him into his life of laWlessness. "Seiz-
ING the bride rein," cried the sufferer,
"he sprang upon his antagonists horse
and dashed away. Halt" he exclaimed,
drawing a revolver and lcyeling it at the
head Of young Horace" Slowly and
sadly" he continued in a subdued voice,
"thev left the church, and walked along
the we'll worn path to the rude grave of
Lawrence. Standing near the stone,
placed there by the Indian, Casper and his
fair companion here his mutterings be-
a groan, Suddenly he raised himself,
looked intently toward the door, and sunk
back dead, of a broken heart. 1t would
be superfuous to call attention to the
moral which this sad incident carries with
it.

s'You are sanguine man, my dear sir,

HARVESTING PoTAToEs.-Early Pc
tatoes will be ripe this month, and
had better be dug than left in the
ground; but if to be stored for win
ter use, they should be handled some
what carefully and cooled off well be
fore they are piled in large heaps or
bins. Bruised potatoes, carried into
the cellar and dumped into large
heaps, or put into tight barrels in the
middle of the day, while they are hot,
will be very apt to spoil in the pile.
They are so long in cooling that the
heat takes hold of the bruised spots
and begins to decompose the tubers,
and soon the farmer will find a smok~
ing pile Of rotting potatoes; but han
die them carefully and bin them
when cool and they will keep till this
time next year. After digging let the
ground be ploughed or worked up
with the disc harrow, and after ma
nuring put to some good use. There
will be from sixty to ninety days
mere good growing weather, which
we cannot afford to lose.-N. II.

Corn AND Con MEAL The West
ern New York Farmers club gave at
n recent meeting their experience in
regard to feeding corn and cob meal.
Mr.. ID. d. Simmons, of Gates, said
that in his neighborhe6d shey are in
the practice of feeding corn, ground
cobs and all, and he had been asked
if there is any nutriment in cobs.
Does not know that there is any.
Many prefer feeding in that way be-
cause it is not so hearty Il feed as
clear meal. President Lay has had
some experience in feeding corn and
cob, and concluded that it costs
about five cents q bHshel for grind
ing the cobs and that is more than
they are worth. Thinks had better
shell the corn and throw the cobs
away. Mr.. James G. Allis, of Hol-
ley, had fed corn and eobs ground to-
gether, but could never get them
ground fine enough If any nutri-
ment in the cob better soak them in
hot water to obtain it, Mr.. Quimby
said corn cobs had been analysed by
chemists who failed to find such nu-
triment in them. They may reduce
the strength of the meal but you had
better dilute with spout feed, and the
mixture makes a good feed. Mr..
Fowler would difute the. meal with
straw. tl.

WHITE OAK VESSELS FOR BUTTER
The best package for keeping but
ter through the summer is a white
oak pail, vanished on the outside and
made with a tight fitting cover; or,
for larger quantities, a white-oak fir,
kin should be used. To keep well
the butter should be perfectly well
made, sailed with an ounce and a
quarter of the best dairy salt to the
pound, and packed while fresh and
sweet in clean pals Or tubs The
pals should be thoroughly scalded
and then soaked in clean brine be-
fore being used, and then busted with
dry salt on the wet sides before the
butter is put in. The butter should
be packed solid, without any air
spaces, and if the tub is not filed at
once the butter should be covered
with little clear brine until the next
packing Is put in. When the tub is
filled to within quarter of an inch
OF the top, n piece of clean muslin
dipped in brine should be placed
ever it and pressed down; dry salt is
then laid on to a level with the edge
of the pail, and the cover is pressed
down and fastened. The package is
then kept in a cool, sweet cellar.

Facts.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con
suit the time tables of the Baltimore
and Ohio road Its celebrated fast
trains, its sure connections, and rates
always as low as the lowest, make it
beyond all controversy the best line
west. Colonists are carried in first
class cars on fast trains, and every
possible care is taken to insure comfort
and convenience. By the Baltimore
and Ohio only is the choice of routes
offered to the west, via st. Louis. or
Chicago, and in either case, trains run
through without change of cars. Di-
rect connection is made at both cities
with all leading lines to the west,
northwest and southwest, and there is
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such adj
vantages as the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t costs but very little time and trou-
BILE to learn this, and in the end may
lead TO the saving of much of both as
well as m ney. Above all things do
not purchase tickets before having a
talk or receiving letter from one of
the b. u 0. Agents. A letter address
ed to b. F. Bond, Cumberland, Md.
to G. Il. Dudrow, Harpers Ferry; to
Dan'l Bride, Baltimore, Nd; or J.
A. Fritz, Somerset, Pa. or call upon
either of these gentlemen will lead to
thorough information as to all necessa-
ry details of time, connections, fares,
baggage and other matters.

t ORCHARD PLANTING.-Wm. Saun-
ders, Superintendent of the grounds
of the United States Department of
Agriculture at Washington, advises
the following plan of setting fruit
trees. He says: 1T is common
observation that the outer rows of
trees in established orchards are fin
er and more productive than trees in
the interior of the plantation. This
superiority is all the more conspicul
Gus if the orchard is bordered by
cultivated fields, and it is fair to pre-
sumo that the extra INSURANCE is ow-
ing to the trees having a greater ex-
tent of soil for the ramifcation of
their roots. Something is also, I'M
doubtedly, due to the greater space of
the branches; but it is in accordance
with all experience in the cultivation
OF plants that rotation Of crops is
absolutely essential towards securing
the best results of the fertility of the
soil. Keeping these facts in view, it
is suggested that an improvement in
the method of planting orchards
would be gained by planting two
rows Of trees from Is to 25 or more
feet apart, depending upon the ma
ture of the trees, and alternating the
plants in the rows. Then allow
space varying in extent from 800 feet
to any greater distance before plant
ing another series of rows, and so in
crease the plantation as far as may
be desired. The intervening spaces
between these double rows of trees
would be available for the cultivation
of the ordinary crops of the farm.
The roots Of the trees would not only
participate in the benefits of cultiva-
ton, but would also have, practically,
unlimited room for extension before
meeting with other roots of their
kind. Immediately under the trees,
and for distance on each side of the
trees as far as the branches spread,
the surface will be kept in grass. If
not sown down Immediately after
planting, which might not be desira-
bfe in all cases, it should be done af-
ter the trees attain a fruit-b bearing
size. or from FIVE to seven years after
setting out. The shelter which will
be afforded to other crops by these
orchard belts will be found valuable.
as protection from winds as well as
forwarding early crops. This meth
cd il pafticularly applicable to apple
and pear trees.

add to them three hard-boiled eggs,
also sliced thin; chop one small on

USE AND BENEFIT OF PLAsTER.-It
appears from an experiment made by
the State Agricultural College of
Michigan, on their farm with sowing
land plaster on grass, that two bush
els of plaster produces over two
thirds as much increase as twenty
loads of horse manure, worth ten
times as much as the plaster cost
From this experiment it must not,
however, be inferred that the same
result will be forthcoming on all soils
from similar application, for all lands
are not equally benefited by the APP
plication of plaster, though as rule,
pasture fields can be made to produce
luxuriant grasses by its use. So far
as we know, where plaster has been
tried in Minnesota, on grass lands
and meadows, its effect was surpris-
ing. The only instance brought to
our attention, however, was the APP
plication on sandy land. So says the
Fla, mer's linton.
