How TO Treat the Apple Crop.

The first thing to be considered is a
suitable place for keeping the fruit.
To be brief, | will say: A properly
constructed cellar, used for no other
purpose, is the cheapest, most conven-
lent and best place in which a farmer
or the ordinary fruit grower can keep
his fruit. In such a place, with but
little trouble, apples may be kept
sound and fresh until the next years
crop is fully ripe. If possible, the fruit

WHAT Is NOBLE.

What is noble ?-to inherit
Wealth, estate and proud degree2
There must be some other merit
Higher yet than these for me!
Something greater far must enter
Into life's majestic span,
Fitted to create and center
True nobility in man.
What is noble PITS the finer
Portion of our mind and heart,
Linked to something still diviner
Than mere language can impart;
Ever prompting-ever seeing
Some Improvement yet to plan;
10 uplift our fellow-being,
And like man to feel for man!
What is noble?-is the saber
Nobler than the humble spade?
There's dignity in labor
Truer than e'er pomp arrayed!
He who seeks the mind is Improvement
Aids the world in aiding mind!
Ever great commanding movement
Serves not one, but all mankind.
Der the forge's heat and ashes,
Der the engines iron head,
Where the rapid shuttle flashes,
And the spindle whirls its thread;
There is labor lowly tending
Each requirement. of the hour,
There is genius still extending
Science and it's world of power.
Mid the dust and speed and clamor
Of the loom shed and the mill;
Midst the clank Of wheel and hammer
Great results are growing still!
Though too oft by fashions creatures
" DIRK and workers may be blamed,
Commerce need not hide it's features,
Industry is not ashamed!
What is noble?-that which places
Truth in its enfranchised will,
Leaving steps like angel traces,
That mankind may follow still!
Fen though scorn's malignant glances
Prove him poorest of his clan,
He's the noble who advances
Freedom and the Cause of Man.

Two Ways Of Looking at Things,

Two boys went to hunt grapes
One was happy because they found
grapes, the one was unhappy because
the grapes had seeds in them.
Two men being convalescent, were
asked how they we're. One said, 81
am better today" the other said, 81
was worse yesterday"
When it rains one man says, "Thi.
will make mnd;" another, "This vii
lay the dust"
Two children looked through col
ored glasses. One says, "Tlle world
is blue" and the other said ut is
bright"
Two boys eating their dinner, one
said, II would rather have some,
thing other than this" the other
said, "This is better than nothing
A servant thinks mans house il
principally kitchen; a guest that i,
is principally parlor.
u am sorry that l live" says one
man. II am sorry that must de-
says the other.
81 am glad" says one, .'that it is
no worse 81 am sorry" says an.
other, "thet it is no better"
One man counts everything that
be has a gain. Another counts ev-
erything else than he receives a loss.
One man spoils good repast by
thinking of a better repast of anoth
err. Another one enjoys a poor re
past by contrasting it with none at
all.
One man is thankful for his bles-
sings. Another Is morose for his
misfortunes.
One man thinks he is entitled to a
better world, and is dissatisfied be-
cause he hasn't got it. Another
thinks lie is not just entitled to any,
ard is satisfied with this.
One man makes up his accounts
from his wants. Another from his
assets.--[New Haven Register.

RoADs--We clip the following par
agraph from one of our most valued
exchanges. Ii is worthy of note.

agraph from one OF our most valued
exchanges. Il is worthy of note:
Now that the fine clear weather is
upon us, it should be taken advantage
of by the overseers of the public roads
to push forward work. II our roads
are not materially improved during
the spring and summer months they
will be in wretclIed condition again
next winter. We fear this is cues
ton which is not considered in all it's
damafiing lights by our people. We
venture the assertion that good deal
of money was lost by our farmers du-
ring the winter from the damaging eff
fects of bad roads. The breakage OF
wagons and damage to horses and
mules were alone sufficient in MANY
sections to pay for having the roads
worked. Let our people think of these
things and act promptly. There can
come no better opportunity than the
present. foa the purpose, and if the
roads are woaked well in early spring,
they have time during the summer and
fail to settle down and become firm.
Go to work then with a will, and next
winter will prove the wisdom Of the
effort.

A VILLAGE BEAUTY,S FORTUNE.

Many years ago. young man
made his appearance in Stratford,.
Connecticut, and passed few weeks
at the tavern which then existed to
afford shelter to stage coach travel
|ers. Whence he came and what was,
his business none could guess. Di
rectly opposite tue tavern stood the
small cottage and forge of a black
smith named Folsom. He had
daughter who was the beauty of the.
village, and it was her fortune to
captivate the heart of the young
stranger. He told his. love-, said
that he was travelling incog., but in
confidence gave her his real name,
saying that he was heir to a large
fortune. She returned his love, and
they were married a few weeks after.
The stranger told his wife that he
must visit New Orleans. He did so,
and the gossips of the town made
the young wife quite unhappy by
disagreeable hints and jeers. In a
few months the husband returned;
but before week had elapsed he re.
ceived large budget of letters, aud
told his wife that he must at once
return TO England, and must 60
alone. He took his departure, and
the gossips had another glorious OPP
portunity to make confiding woman
wretched. To all but herself it was.
clear case of desertion. The wife
became mother, and for two years
lived on in silence and hope. At
the end of that time letter was re.
ceived by tn, Stratford beauty from
her husband, sdirecting her to at
once to New York with her child.
taking with her nothing but the
clothes she wore, and embark in
ship for home in England. On her
arrival in New York she found
vessel vessel splendidly furnished
with every convenience and luxury
for her comfort, and two servants
ready to obey every wish that she.
might express. The ship duly ar.
rived in England, and the lstratford
|girl became mistress Of . mansion,
and, as the wife Of a baronet, was
saluted as Lady Samuel Sterling.
On the death of her husband, many
years ago, the Stratford boy sue
ceeded TO the title and wealth Of his,
father; and in the last edition Of
"Peerage and Baronetage," he is.
spoken of as the issue Of .Miss.

A LuNATIc PIGEoN.--A white FAM
tail pigeon lived with his family in a
pigeon-house in our stable.yard.. He
and his wife had been brought orig.
inally from Sussex, and had lived re-
spected and admired TO see their
children Of the third generation,
when he suddenly became the victim.
of the infatuation ! am about to de-
scribe. No eccentricity whatever
was remarked in his conduct until
one day l CHANGED to pick up in the
garden ginger.beer bottle Of the
ordinary brown stone description.
| flung it into the yard, whore il fell
Immediately below the pigeon house.
That instant down few paterfamilias,,
and to my no small establishment
commenced series Of genuflections,
evidently doing homage to the bottle.
He strutted round and round it,,
bowling and scraping aud cooling and
performing the most ludicrous antics
| ever beheld on the part Of an en-
amored pigeon. Nor did he cease
these performances until We removed
the bottle. What proved that this
singular alteration Of instinct had
become a fixed delusion was tLis,
whenever the bottle was thrown or
placed in the yard--no matter
whether it lay horizontally or was
placed upright--the same ridiculous
scene was enacted; at that moment
the pigeon came flying down with
quite as great alacrity as when his
peas were thrown out of his dinner,
to cyntinue his antics as long as the
bottle remained there. Sometimes
this would 60 on for hours, the other
members Of his family treating his
movements with the most contempt
uous indifference, and taking no no.
tice whatever of the bottle. AT last
it became the regular amusement
with which we entertained our visi-
tors, to see this cratic pigeon maxi
ing love to the interesting object of
its affections, and it was an enter
tainment that never failed, through
out that Summer at least. Before
next Summer came round he was no
more Letter to Nature.
