the leading citizens of Gunniscn
City met in convention on 4 street
corner, there were seven or eight
Michigan men among the crowd.
When Colonel Parker presented
the following resolution, it was a
Michigan man who supported it:
Resolved, That a committee of
five be appointed to wait upon
Calabash Sam, late Of Deadwood,
and inform him that after sunrise
tomorrow morning this crowd
will open fire on him with the in
lention Of furnishing a corpse for
our new graveyard.
The com mittce of five went out
TO find Samuel and deliver their
message. He sat on o bench at
the door Of bis shanty, a shotgun
across his knees ard pipe in his
mouth, and he preserved silence
while the chairman Of the com
mittcc read The resolution then
lie asked

the chairman, in a careless voice,
as he leaned on his gun-'l forgot

The sun gets up in the morning
And lifts his stately head;
Open your eyes, my sleepy skies,
The sun is out of bed!
The moon is very timid,
She dare not meet the sun,
With heigh no! the stars must go,
And hide themselves one by one.
The sun gets up in the morning
The world is al alligbt,
Every tree is full of glee,
Every blossom bright;
Every bird is singing
A welcome to his King,
With a "Well done, beautiful sun!
You glorify everything"
The sun gets up in the morning,
And so must children, too;
How dare you keep fast asleep,
The sun is calling you!
Mid all the birds and blossoms
Your merry voices raise
With hurrah! How glad we are
We have got sun to praisel

With proud step and averted eye?
Nay, nurse not such belief

To that high nature which aspires
Forever, till thus checked:
These are thine enemies-thy worst;
They chain thee to thy lowly lot
Thy labor and thy life accurst.
Oh, stand erect, and from them burst,
And longer suffer not!
Thou art thyseIf thine enemy!

As theirs. is not thy will as free?
Has God with equal favors thee
Neglected to endow?
True. wealth thou hast not; It's but dust!
Nor place, uncertain as the wind!
But that thou hast which, with thy crust
And water, may despise the lust
Of bOth-a noble mind.

True faith, and holy trust in God,
Thou art the peer of any man.

Gardeners who have read books on celery rails
ing say Kalamazoo men can teach the authors
their A 3 C's in that business. Peter Hender-
son, the great New York gardener, advises to
store it for winter by packing in shallow trenches,
covering with lumber, marsh hay, &c J. w.
Wilson estimates that it would cost him $500 for
lumber to secure his crop in that manner. The
winter crop is now being harvested. The Kaa-
mazoo way is to dig about two feet below the
surface; then board up about two feet above; ;
then frame six feet high, IL foot boards meet
and slant down the sides, with windows all of
usually built - feet wide and 40, IS or 100
feet long. If the building is so feet long it will
hold $4,000 celery; 100 feet long, 100000, etc
1t is built on upland, if possible, for marsh is too
damp and cold. When first put in the houses it
is green but bleaches in few weeks. They pack
as close it will stand, putting boards every
few feet to prevent heating and rOtting. People
can keep their own celery as well as apples or
potatoes, by putting some marsh soil in the bot
tom OF a barrel, packing the celery, root down,
not sideways, and keeping where it will not
freeze. 1t is desirable to keep it growing The
sprouts may run over the top of the barrel but
will be no disadvantage. Put in green, and
1t Will bleach, and you can wash, trim, as you
wish for the table. One of the most annoying
jobs in the business is the tying in halfdozen
punches. The long-felt want is for some Yankee
to invent a self-binder.

EDUCATIoN.- Every parent must have re-
marked the pleasure which children take in the
acquisition of brood of chickens The keeping
of these domestic birds calls forth Of the fac
ulties of the young which demands cultivation.
The same desire which prompts to observing the
new brood, if carried onwards, would make them
naturalists and accurate observers of insects and
birds. One of the most valuable mental acquire
ments is the power Of discriminating among
things which differ in many minute points, but
whose general similarity of appearance usually
deceives the common mind into belief Of their
identity. The study of insects, in this point of
view, is most peculiarly adapted to youth. In
this study the knowledge Of things should go
along with that OF words. If names perish, says
Linnaus, the knowledge of things perishes also
To name plant, or an insect, or a bird, or
quadruped rightly, is one step towards an aceur-
ate knowledge Of it, though it is not the knowl-
edge itself 1t is the means, and not the end, in
natural history as in every other science

SEASONING TIMBER The best method of
seasoning timber is to cut the tree at any time
between the end of October and the end of March.
and, If pine wood, to raise the log tree on cross
pieces about one foot above the ground. Laid in
this manner for two years, then sawed into boards
and piled in an airy shed for one year. it will be
fit for the carpenter. For hard-wooded trees.
they should be girdled by removing bark and
wood to the depth of two inches at the point
where they are to be cut and felled Let this be
done in the fall, twelve months before telling
by this time they will have lost two-fifths OF
their weight, and be fit for saving up at once
This is an economical mode of securing timber
for immediate use, and great saving in the cost
of transportation, losing as it will two-iths Of its
weight in drying before being cut.
THE BEST TINE To CUT TIMBER-It is main
tanned that the fall Of the year is the best time to
fell timber, because at that period there is the
least sap in the tree, and it is well known that
moisture is principal cause of decay therefore
it seems evident that when timber is cut at the
time when vegetation is least active. and the
trees naturally most free of moisture it will be
IN the best state for preservation. The foliage of
trees Is the medium through which they are
mainly relieved of their sap; the leaves are con-
tinually exhaling moisture, more or less, which
is drawn from the sap-vessels OF the plant In
the early part of the season, when growth is most
active, the roots suck moisture from the soil,
which is impelled or drawn through the trunk
and branches by the leaves and is exhaled by
them, or extracted by evaporation. As the sun
becomes more powerful, and the water in the soil
less copious, growth is less vigorous and the sup
ply of water througa the roots is not SO abundant
but the leaves are still at work extracting moist
ure, until there is no longer any supply, the wood
becomes hard and solid and the leaves perish
The tree is then naturally most destitute OF
water, and timber feled at that time viii obvi-
ousy he more durable if this reasoning is correct
than if cut az any other period Of tie year.

CLEAN ORCHARDS FOR WINTER-The soil for
some distance from the stems Of orchard trees
should be clean and pulyerized previous to the
SHOWS Of winter; otherwise, in many localities
much injury may be done by mice eating the
bark. These animals find comfortable shelter
and cover for their depredations in the rough
grass and decaying stems of weeds and they are
rarely troublesome where the ground is made
clean and smooth

CELERY GROWING IN MlCHIGAN-The GU
@ette, at Kalamazoo, thus describes the culture
practiced by the growers there:
Not alone from the increased area will there
be larger quantity of celery in after years, but
there Is being more raised from the same land
each year, as the gardeners become proficient in
raising it. for it is comparatively new industry
for Kalamazoo. Instead Of the rows being five
Or six te@t apart, as the books advise, they are
raising it successfully three feet apart, and in
stead Of five and six inches apart in the rows, it
Is raised half that distance and as close as ones
fingers for the last Or winter crop, so douhe the
crop il raised from the same land.
