WORDS OF WISDOM.


The root Of all benevolent actions is
flial piety and fraternal love.
He that eateth more than he ought
maketh more diseases than he can cure.
Modesty is q shining light it pre-
pares the mind to receive knowledge,
and the heart for truth.
Bashfulness may sometimes exclude
pleasure, but seldom opens any avenue
TO sorrow or remorse.
BE brief for it is with words as with
sunbeams; the more they are condensed
the deeper they burn.
Blessedness consists in the accom-
plishment of our desires, and in our
having only regular desires.
Self-laudation abounds among the
unpublished, but nothing can stamp a
man more sharply as ill-bred.
Since the generality of persons act
from impulse, much more than from
principle, men are neither so good nor
SO bad as we are apt to think them,
If virtue does not seem amiable to
thee in thy enemy, and vice hateful to
thee in thy friend, canst thou tell
whether thou lowest virtue or --latest
vice?
Love covers a multitude of sins.
When a scar cannot be taken away, the
next kind Office is TO hide it. Love is
never so blind as when it is to spy
faults.
A smooth sea never makes a skillful
mariner, neither do uninterrupted pros
perity and success qualify for usefulness
and happiness. The storm of adversely,
like the storms of the ocean, arouse the
faculties, excite the invention, prudence,
skill and fortitude of the voyager.

The Voice Of the Grass.

By the dusty roadside,
On the sunny hillside,
Gloss by the noisy brook,
In every shady nook,
/ come creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here I come creeping, smiling eyerywhe G;
All around the open door,
Where sit the aged poor
Here where the children play,
In the bright and merry May,

Here / come creeping, creeping everywhere
In the noisy city street
My pleasant face you'll meet,
Cheering tho sick at heart
Toiling his busy part
Silently creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here / come creel ing, creeping everywhere ;
You can not see me coming,
Nor hear my low, sweet humming;
For in the starry night,
And the glad morning light,
] come quietly creeping, everywhere.
Here / come creeping, creeping everywhere;
When you're numbered with the dead,
In your still and narrow bed,
In the happy spring I'll come
And deck your silent home,-
Creeping, silently creeping everywhere.
Here l come creeping, creeping everywhere
My humble song Of praise
Most joyfully l raise
To Him at whose command
/ bcautify the land,
Creeping, silently creeping eyerywh re;

FARM, GARDEN, AND HOUSEHOLD

Farm Notes.
White powdered hellebore will keep
rose bugs off g~rape-vines.
Sawdust is not good mulch for straw
berries, but answers for peaches if a
little salt is mixed with it.
The greatest enemy to young chickens
and turkeys is lice. A mixture of lard
and kerosene is the proper remedy.
Fertilizers will not do much good on
soils that are not properly drained. If
any n doubts it let him apply manure
upon a swamp or bog meadow.
Kerosene oil is sure death to insects
of all kinds and in every stage of their
development, according to Prof. Riley.
At present prices it certainly would not
be a very expensive thing to try.
Onions require about twenty pounds
of seed per acre. The usual remedy for
the onion maggot (which is a great pest
is to scatter a superphosphate made
from the refuse of petroleum refneries.
Those who wish to keep insects in
check, must eve have any 'to-mor-
rows" about their ways, but must act as
500 as the eggs, ~chryaslis, or vermin in
any state are seen, Destroy the first
lot and it is rare hat there is much
trouble after.

Household Hints,

Never iron a calico dress on the right
side if ironed smoothly on the wrong
side there will be no danger of white
spots and gloss, which give anew dress
"done up" for the first time the appear
nee of a time-worn garment.
When cooking spinach, substitute q
little piece of bacon for the salt pork
usually cooked with it to season it. The
incest way to serve it is to put it in in
dividual vegetable dishes, and put a bit
of the bacon in each dish. Hard boiled
eggs, sliced when cold, are also liked
with the greens.
An excellent housekeeper, and one
who is careful about many things, says
Do not iron a red tablecloth at all
wash it carefully in warm suds (nothot),
rinse well, and when ready to hang on
the line take great pains to pull it so
that it will keep the proper shape. II
will retain its color much longer than
if ironed.
Ribbons which are very much soiled
can be made clean and will look almost
like new ones if washed in ammonia and
water. Use half a teaspoonful of am.
monia to one pint of water. Some rib
bons, after washing or sponging, do not
need to be ironed, and in fact are IN
iured by it. These should be fastened
to a table or long ironing-board, and,
when perfectly smooth, let them alone
until they are dry. If they are at all
wrinkled when dry lay a cloth which is
slightly damp over them and press with
a hot iron. Black silk, if sponged with
cold coffee and ammonia, will be won
derfully freshened. Use a flannel cloth
to remove dust from silk.

0ppOsites in Malrimony.

Theodore Parker wrote: Young PEG.
pie marry their opposites in tempera.
ment and general character and such
marriages are generally good ones. They
do it instinctively. The young man
does not say, "My black eyes require to
be wed with blue and my oyer-vehe.
mence requires to be a little modified
with somewhat OF dullness and reserve"
When these opposites come together to
be wed they do not know it, but each
thinks the other just like himself. Old
people marry their opposites ;
they marry their similars and from cal
culation. Each of these two arrange
ments is very proper. In their long
journey these opposites will fall out by
the way a great many times, and charm
the other back again, and by and by
they will be agreed as to the place they
will go to, and the road they will go by,
and both become r%econciled. The man
will be nobler and larger for being asso-
ciated with so much humanity unlike
himself, and she will be anobler woman
for having manhood beside her, that
seeks to correct her deficiencies and
supply her with what she lacks, if the
diversity be nottoo great, and if there be
real generosity and love in their hearts
to begin with. The old bridegroom,
having a much shorter journey to make,
must associate himself with one like
himself. A perfect and complete
marriage is, perhaps, as rare as perfect
personal beauty. Men and women are
married f~ractionally, now a small frac-
ton, then a large fraction. Very few
are married totally, and they only, 1
think, after some forty or fifty years of
gradual approach and experiment, Such
a large and sweet fruit is a complete
marriage, that it needs a very long
summer to ripen in and then q long
winter to mellow and season. But, a
real, happy marriage of love and iudg-
ment between a noble man and woman
is one of the things so very handsome
that, if the sun were as the Greek poets
tabled, a god, he might stop the world
in order to feast his eyes with such a
spectacle.

Value of the Roller.

There are few implements upon a
farm which are more useful than the
roller, and yet it is too seldom found
upon our farms. In some towns there
is scarcely a roller to be found. Yet
this implement aids in ~pulverizing the
soil as much as the harrow, if it is passed
over the lan,l before the harrow is used.
If seed be rolled in, the roller not only
presses all the small stones below the
surface and leaves the surface of the
land SO that it can be easily mown with
the machine, but it presses the soil
close around the seed, thus fastening
vegetation. If passed over the moving
at this season of the year the roller
levels all inequalities leaving the ground
in good condition for the operations Of
both moving machine and rake, and is
likely to save a great many dollars in
the ordinary repairing of moving
machines and in the grinding Of knives.

The Mem England Homestead gives the
following item for the benefit of next
years potato crop EVERY n will
notice in grass lands, especially those
that have been seeded down for two or
more years, many spires that are dead
and brown. This is not caused by dry
weather, as most people suppose, but
indicates the presence of large numbers
of grubs. There is no crop that is more
liable to be injured by these worms
than the potato, and therefore it should
be noted where they are particularly
prevalent this year in grass, and these
pieces should under no circumstances
be planted next year with potatoes"

Remedy for Hard Times.

Stop spending so much on fine clothes, ricn

cheaper and better clothing get more real and
substantial things Of life every way, and es-
pecially stop the foolish habit of running

you only harm, and makes the proprietors rich,

times and good health. Try it once. Read of
