Manners and Morals.

What is the difference between
good manners and morals? Will
good manners make man, or must
he be possessed Of good morals also?
If good manners be genuine they are
good morals, for they are founded on
the laws Of justice and Kindness
But there is so much base coin in cir.
culation in the sphere of manners
and there are so many pretentions
to goodness therein which cannot be
admitted. There is not thing SC
offensive us false heart refusing, in
a polite manner, to do simple and
easy act of kindness.
The good manners of some people
are somewhat of this sort; heartless,
ness, clothing itself in the garb Of
kindness, and pretending to feel deep
ly for you, when it wishes you tc
Coventry or Jericho. Now, this we
call bad manners, and yet men who
can play this part well, and "bow
you out" as they say at court, arc
supposed TO be very accomplished
finished gentlemen. After all, it
comes to this, that good morals are
good manners. You will find no bet
ter standard. for manners than this.
But still their are degrees of good,
ness, there is u more or less graceful
manner Of showing it, and the more
graceful is better than the less grace,
full. The best manners, therefore, are
the more graceful morals. We can
not admit any falsehood or heartless'
ness into the idea of good Manners
These invariably defle them, how,
ever pure they may seem, invariably
deform them, how beautiful soevcr,
how graceful soever the air which
they employ, Or the dress they put
on.

Watering Horses.

The quality, as well as the temper,
allure, of the water drank by horses
is of the greatest importance. A
sudden change of water may often
induce n severe attack of collie,
and this is so well known to
horsemen that when the valuable
trotters and racers travel from place
to place a supply Of water to which
they have been used is always car.
ried with them. To avoid any i'll
effect it is better TO mix a handful OF
oatmeal or bran in the strange wa,
ter, and, if possible, TO warm it a
little. The temperature of springs
and wells varies very much, and a
difference of ten or fifteen degrees is
quite frequent; that is sufficient to
affect quite seriously the condition
of u horse, which is an animal that
easily suffers from disturbance of the
digestive organs.

Goethe's, he rose, took n lamp from
the table, and walked slowly around
the poet, looking at him from every
point Of view.
Goethe was conquered by this cool
ness. He burst into a hearty laugh
and began to converse in his pleas
ant style. The visitor proved to be
an agreeable companion, and Goethe
was amused at his impudencc.-

A Good word for american lren.

A London writer says This must
be said generally for the men of the

travel alone from one end Of the State

The fact that she is alone gives i'm
munity from insult. In London a
pretty girl or well-dressed woman
cannot walk along any leading thor
oughfare without being insulted by
word or look half dozen times. The
rudeness of men toward women in

impertinence to them in the streets,

Practical Ethics.

TO say that in virtue alone is hap,
plncSs is to utter truism so trite
that it conveys no impression; but to
illustrate it in detail, to point out
how and why it should be so, to IA,
millarize the thoughts with the idea,
and to show the ways and means to
reduce tho theory to practice, and
thus to put life into harmony with
the laws which govern it-this is a
task worthy of all energy and all en-
thusiasm. Practical ethics is pro.
gressive study, which may be well
begun in the infant school and con.
tinued through the entire course, and
no department of it is more impor-
tant or influential than the elucidu.
ton Of the great law which binds TO-
gether irrevocably the attainment Of
happiness and loyal adherence to
truth and to right.

FOR THE FARMER.
Drilling Wheat.

II is asserted that much Of the fail
ure in securing uniform crops of
wheat is US often the result OF too
deep drilling in the seed as from
other causes. The wheat plant has
two sets ofroo,s, one at the surface
or near it, and another a: the grain.
If these roots are at a distance apart,
as they must be if the grain is deep
sown, and light spring rains are fol-
lowed by sudden freezes-a not un.
common occuTence-the lifting of
the plant by the soil will sever the
connection between the two roots,
and the wheat plant dies. Long ex.
pertinent has seemed to settle two
things, that wheat ground must be
made very fine, and very solid, to
prevent as far as possible this heav
ing Of the soil. This solidity acts in
two ways, keeps the drill hoes from
running too deep and retains moist
ure longer than loose soil. So far as
the preparation of the soil infuen-
ces the growth of the wheat, it is
upon the side Of deep breaking of
the soil and thorough pulverization.
But two things must be avoided in
even this, the throwing Of the raw,
unworked earth from below on top;
and when fined and made thorough.
ly mellow, again COMPRISING it so
as to hold moisture. The old idea of
blowing deep for corn and shallow
for wheat is radically wrong, for the
roots of each do not mar the surface,
and at this point the fertilizers
should be applied, but at the same
time the stirring Of the soil should
be deep to hold and retain moisture.
Deep breaking of the soil-not deep
plowing-reduces the water level Of
plow lands and in part acts as under
drainage, without which, in some
farms, the cultivation of wheat must
often result in failure.

Broad Wheels for Farm Wagons.

The surface over which loads are
drawn upon the farm is soft as a rule,
and Il wheel with broad tire will
not sink so far as narrow one. A
load Of manure or hay can be drawn
across a plowed or other mellow
ground upon wagon which has tires
four inches wide when it would be
impossible TO do so with the old mar
row wheels; often less than two inch.
es wide. The usually heavy, muddy.
country roads of early spring are
much more passable with the wide
wheels than the narrow ones; and
even upon smooth, hard roads the
difference in the draft is SO slight as
to be no argument against the use of
wide tires. Most Of the teaming up.
on the farm is upon soft ground, and
the light draft of broad tired wagons
should make them preferable, because
they are a saving animal strength
One Of the first things that strikes an
intelligent European in coming to
this country is the very frail look of
our vehicles, especially the narrow
wheels. While these may be desira.
BILE in road wagons, those for farm use
may well be with broad tires. Con-
tractors for road work always use
broad tired carts, as they find them

Sheep.

The Natinal Live stock Journal
thus sums up the reasons why every
farmer should have a flock of sheep:
a farm can be stocked with sheep
for less money than with cattle, hor-
ses or hogs. Sheep will come nearer
to utilizing everything that grows
on the farm than other animals
Less labor will be required for get
ting feed and stock together. The
returns will come in sooner and. Oft
ener than with any other farm stock
except hogs. Less money is requir-
ed for shelter and fencing, and less
labor is involved in hcrding, where
outside pasturage is accessible and
preferred. And finally, d handsome
income on the investment can be
had without tn: sale of the animals
themselves.

How the Murderer Feels.

Guiteau has been informed that the Grand
jury will convene on Monday next and that
an indictment will follow. This information
was conveyed by the District Attorney. Mr..
Corkhill, who asked the prisoner if he had
any choice of counsel. Guiteau replied that
he would prefer to have his brother-in-law,
George Scoville. Of Chicago, summoned, as
he had confidence in his fealty. 1t is evident
that Guiteau has sense enough to see that
he will have little chance in trial be-
fore any ordinary tribunals; and, to do
him justice. he displays considerable
GOODNESS under the trying circum-
stances. He is now aware of his danger, as
he must have been all along, and probably
he fully realizes how hopeless is his chance
for an escape from the severest punishment
the law can inflict for the crime of murder.
His fear is that he may be assassinated be-
fore, or during his trial. He has asked that
certain one of his guards. in whom he has
confidence, be detailed to protect him, as he
fears that Masons example may be initiated
hv others of the soldiers on duty to the Jail.
Mr.. Corkhill is satisfied that the Federal
law will be ample TO cover Guiteau's case,
and from this opinion there seems of late to
have been no dissent.
During the presence in the city of the re-
mains of the dead President, and the large
concourse ofpeople who came to witness the
ceremonies, Guiteau is said to have exhibited
some alarm. He feared an attack on the Jail
by a mob, and little or no resistance by the
guards. who, he suspects, do not relish the
duty they are asked to perform. The firing
of the minute guns gave him some uneasiness,
and on the occasion of n visit to his cell by
Warden Crocker, he was asked by Guiteau
how the guards felt about him. He was
assured that the soldiers would perform their
duty, and after this he seemed to recover his
wonted spirits. His appetite is reported as
very good and his weight is increasing. lie
likewise sleeps well and spends much time
during his waking hours in correspondence.

Good Advice for Girls.

Come here, sis, and sit down beside me,
and let me give you little talking to. l wish
to speak to you of your mother. 1t may be
you have noticed a careworn look upon her
face lately. Of course it has not been brought
there by any act of yours, still it is your duty
to chase it away. | don't mean for YOU to
run at it and shake your skirts and tell it to
"shoo" as you would a hen, nor do expect
you to get on the other side Of the fence and
throw old oyster cans and pieces of barrel
slaves at it. But | want you to get up to-
morrow morning and get breakfast, and when
your mother comes down and begins to ex-
press her surprise, 90 right up to her and
kiss her on the mouth. You cant imagine
how il will brighten up her dear old face.
Her face has more wrinkles than yours, far
more; and yet if you were sick that face
would appear to be more beautiful to you
than an angels as it hovered ver you watch
ing every opportunity to minister to your
comfort. and every one of those wrinkles
of sunshine chasing each other over the dear
old face.
She will leave you one Of these days.
Those burdens, if not lifted from her shoul-
ders will break her down. There, there
don't cry, she has not left yet. She is down
in the kitchen. stringing beans for dinner,
and if you feel SO badly you might go down
and finish them and let her change her dress
and rest an hour before dinner. And after
dinner take down her hair and do it up for
her You need not wind it over your finger
and fuss TO make spit curls as she used to
with yorrs, but give it good brushing and
wind it up gently and tenderly, though
you enjoyed doing it for her. The young
man down in the parlor can wait until you
have performed these duties If he expresses
any impatience, you may explain to him that
you feel under more obligations to your
mother than you do to him. Miipdukee Sun.
