Miscellaneous Notes.

Now is good time to cut the
brush in the fence corners and find

you have a fine rail fence or none

cow-pokes and build one. We
have seen this theory tried in days
long ago, and it had good results.
cry'.one.,who has garden,
should devote a small share of it
to the culture Of strawberries.
One hundred good strong plants
with care and high cultivation will
furnish any..family full supply Of
this lucious fruit. But not one
farmer in ten ever thinks of raising
them, merely because il will take
a little extra labor to cultivate
them.
We have always thought it paid
a fair profit for farmers to save
their own seed. "Time is money"
says your correspondent, when
writing upon this subject, and il
he will only be TO the trouble to
raise his seed in the future, he will
save both time and money, and
the vexation caused by buying
seed that won't come up wher
planted.

Effect OF Dynamite In Boston Mans
Stomach.

Mr.. Meatmarket deserved sympathy.
The assassination of the O1ar caused
much discussion of the power of dyna-
mite, and In q beer saloon one day Mr..
M. expressed the belief thatif dog were
to swallow teaspoonful of the stuff and
then be thrown from fourth-story win
dow he would blow up with concussion
that would loosen all the plastering
within quarter of mile. The PROPOSE
ton seemed absurd to Mr.. Gallagher.
lie resolved to test the sincerity of
Meatmarket's belief. Going behind the
bar he mixed drink, and after the lat
ter had swallowed the drink Gallagher
informed him that there was something
like five spoonfuls of dynamite in it, The
horror that took possession of Meat
market was indescribable. He evidently
was sincere. He drew o pistol to shoot
Gallagher, but didn't dare to fire for fear
the conclusion would cause him to ex-
plode. And the crowd wanted him to be
careful. And he begged them to move
lightly, and took off his boots so as not
to jar, and the streets were crowded and
every body seemed to jostle him. He
had horrible time getting home, and
arrived there in cold sweat and nearly
exhausted. Just as he entered the house
his wife rushed to embrace him. He
warned her off, Then his son upset the
ftove and gave him terrible scare. He
retired to his chamber and lay on feather
bed, and gave orders that nobody should
walk, exception tiptoe, and without shoes,
In the house. He didn't dare to take an
emetlc to remove the stuff, for fear it
would be exploded in coming up. And
tho agonies Of terror he suffered we're
awful. There was danger of his going
mad. But the worst was to come. Some
how his house got afire. It had got
great headway when discovered, and his
only escape was to jump from second
story window. Whether to die by burn
ing or explosion was terrible question
to decide. His distress Of mind was
dreadful; but the hot flames drove him
to the leap. He expected on alighting
to blow himself and all the bystanders
into eternity, and he yelled to them to
stand away; but they didn't, and he had
to leap among them. To his amazement
he didn't fly into q thousand fragments.
He only skinned his hands and knees.
He rose up the happiest man in Boston.
But when he began to tell of his marvel
Gus escape they informed him he was the
victim Of joke. He hadn't swallowed
any dynamite. Then his wrath was
greater than his terror, and it took fou1
men to hold him till he calmed down {
! little. And he is only waiting to NEE

A WONDERFULLY gigantic scheme has
been brought to the attention of
the New York General Assembly, in
the shape of water route from New
York to Chicago. It is proposed to util-
ize the Erie Canal by lining it through
out its entire length (352 miles) with a
thick layer ofhydraulic cement, at cost
of $4,000 mile, or SO, 3,500,000 for the
entire length. The western part of the
plan contemplates a canal of equal ca
pacity with the Erie across Southern
Michigan, by which it is estimated 1000
miles of lake navigation can be saved.
The capital is to be furnished by the
Western capitalists, who will ask no re-
muneration from New York for the -
provement to the Erie Canal unt' 80
whole canal debt is paid off, "a are
willing to trust their reimbursement
then to the honor of the people, who
must amend the State Constitution be-
fore q dollar can be paid for any such
purpose. The canal will afford naviga-
ton for steam propellers OF moderate
size, which will average a speed Of iif-
teen miles an hour.

A POETS StudV.

A correspondent of the Louisville
COuricr-JoetrnGI, who has been visiting
Mr.. Longfellow's home, writes eff the
influence of surroundings can be felt in
conversation it surely might in that
delightful apartment; the room where
most of Mr.. Longfellow's poems have
been written, and where many of his
souvenirs are gathered from abroad and
distant parts of this country. It is
large and square and has several win
dows in it. There are carved bookcases
Gone of which is filled with his own
works., portraits of his literary friends
in their youth, and two of himself-one
taken at the age of twenty, the other re-
cently-some venerable cabinets, plenty
of easy-chairs, etc. In one corner, bo-
tween two windows, each having q wide
and varied prospect, is his writing-desk,
heaped with papers. I paused there a
moment and looked out on the hills and
the trees, as if to catch some memento
OF the inspiration that has como to the
poet In that particular place. In the
center OF the room is large square table,
laden with many objects. The inkstand
used by Wordsworth Q think), some
rare books, notably n copy of the first
EDITION OF Bryants poems, some Vene-
tian vases, filled with newly cut flowers.
etc, etc. AS Mr.. Longfellow talked
with me of Hawthorn and Emerson. he
pointed to their portraits-and of many
other authors and authoresses, English.
German, Italian, and American-it was
delightful to find that he expressed
himself 80 kindly of all. OF course, I
was eager to hear him talk, and sug-
gestcd topics, if he paused with infinite
courtesy for me to express an opinion.
In speaking of Dante, he went to q
carved oak box and unlocked it, from
which he brought forth little glass case,
in which are some bits of the great
Italians coffin. After a while he showed
me the lower part of his house, the
drawing-room, with it's objects of art,
and the stair case, where tall Dutch
clock rests on the landing-not 'The
Clock on the Staircase, but q more
fanclful one that has taken the old
clocks place. 1t is q quaint house, not
elegant, but more than that, it is charm
ing, homelike, and telling, as everything
in it gives one an idea of its unusual oc-
cupation. One would hardly believe il
could be one hundred and fifty years old.
Washington lived in it nine months.
His Office was the room used by Mr..
Longfellow rs his study Most of the
rooms are as Washington left them in
shape, although some trifing alterations
have been made. On the east side OF
the house is @ broad piazza, where the
| poet loves to walk. He still writes and
works as though he was young man.
! He is vigorous, and bids fair for MANY
years to come to enjoy the honors which
his talents and industry have created fol
| him.

A Very Funny Criticism.

The pass to which foreigners may be
led by mistaking so-called Americanisms
for the normal and habitual speech of
the country is we'll shown in the follow

"Amerikanisch" is given in all earnest
ness as a specimen of the English spoken
In America, while under it is placed
what the author considers the correct
English equivalent The italics are ours:

GEMS OF THOUGHT.


IMAGINATION is the greatest despot.
THERE is no real life but cheerful life.
WANT of good sense is the worst kind
Of poverty.
lMPATIENoE dries the blood sooner
than age or sorrow.
Love without return is like question
without an answer.
LOVE, faith, patience-the three essen
tials to happy life.
PRIDE hath two seasons-a forward
spring and a early fall
IT is best not to dispute where there
is no possibility of convincing.
AS fire is discovered by its own light,
80 Is virtue by its own excellence
Ideas are like boards; men do not have
them till they grow up Voltdire.
PRETTY women are like sovereigns; one
tiatters them only through interest.
THERE are three classes of men; the ret
rograde, the stationary, the progressive.
GREAT souls by instinct TO each other turn
Demand alliance, and in friendship burn.
Suspicious among thoughts are like
light.
ALWAYS there is black spot in our
sunshine; it is the shadow of ourselves.
|-CarlyIc.
THE wise man as we'll as the fool makes
blunders. The wise man, however,
never makes the same blunder twice.
APPEARANCES are nothing, if you are in
the right, but if you are in the wrong
you must pay especial attention to them.
No man knows what ministering
70 80, l,n
! her through the fiery trials of this world.
THERE'S not heart, however rude,
But hath some little flower,
10 brighten up its solitude
And scent the evening hour
PLEASURE is seldom found where it is
sought. Our highest blazes of gladness
are commonly kindled by unexpected
| sparks.
THE best way to apologize is to do
such kindness to the offended one that
he will forget that you ever attempted to
injure him.
AS man is the wiser for his learning,
1t may administer matter to work in, c"
objects to work upon; but wit and wisdom
are born with man.
WELL well the world must turn upon It's axis,
And live ana die, make love and pay our taxes,
And as the vcer1ng mind shifts, shift our sai;>.
The way to produce q smile or Ito
face of nature is to plant it with seeds nf
flowers. Tickle nature in that way and
she will laugh with blossoms.
THE foundation of every good govern
ment is the family. The best and most
prosperous country is that which has the
greatest number of happy fresides.
MANY splendid genius was the despair
of q good father when young. But all
of a sudden he awoke and went into ac-
ton like soldier into battle, and made
name that will live forever.
The two most precious things on this
side of the grave are our reputation and
our life. But it is to be lamented that
the most contemplate whisper may de-
prive us of one, and the weakest weapon
of the other.
LOVE! what is it, and whence comes
it? How much has been written about
it, and how idly! Neither statement,
comparison, nor analysis avails. Love is
love, thing like nothing else in the
world-as real as q second sight. 1t
alone bestows the power Of seeing q
hundred new truths otherwise invisible.

Duty and inclination.

You never see the struggle between
duty and inclination more strongly
marked than in the respectful attitude
of dog sitting on the sidewalk, head
bent back, and one foot aimed at the
back of his ear, undecided whether to
spring up and answer the imperative
whistle of his master, or sit still and
shoot the flea he has just got the exact
range and elevation on.
