These are getting to be general and
profitable crop to raise for market, and
our farmers, and those who only have n
few acres of land to grow them on, are
beginning to understand the raising of
them in the way that money can be
made quite thoroughly. There is moth
ing plcases us more in passing through
our markets than the display Of these
fruits, as well as other small fruits that
are now so abundantly finding their way
into our great city marts. 1t is true that
the choicest kinds are not always the
most profitable, because they are the
most difficult TO produce on the ground
that they require winter protection; but
then moneyed people with whom our city
abounds, never object to paying whatev-
er may be the ruling price for choice
fruit or products of any kind.
We doubt if the blackberry is grown
to as great an extent now as il was ten
years ago. the reason OF which may be
that it Is attended with more labor, and
labor, too, OF not a very pleasant kind,
from the many long, sharp thorns with
which the bush is armed. Raspberres,
on the other hand, have little objections
on this score, and are, in great many
respects, much easier to cultivate. A
| peek of the latter, too, can be gathered
to quart of the blackberry. With 9
blackberry, it is almost next to impossi
BILE to select the ripe ones; and unlcs,
they are ripe, the fruit is anything bu
palatable. Still, it can be raised anC
marketed with profit, as it is a great fla
vorite with many, who will pay almos
any price for it; moreover there is scarce
ly any fruit to be preferred to fully ripe
blackberry as large as pigeons egg.
Both the raspberry and the blackben,
require loose, rich, moist soil, and dc
not object to little shade. They shoul,
be planted shallow, but firmly set anC
staked, and after the years sprouting il
high enough not to be interfered with
mulching is of great service, and should
be literally applied every year; and al
most any trash will do for this. o.
course it can be applied when new bed,
are set out, but not too heavily rs to oh
struct the growth of the sprouts. Rasp
berry canes should be set apart abonr
three feet in the rows, and the rows fouI
feet apart. Blackberry canes should b,
planted about four feet apart both in anC
between the rows -Gern.d,,toloyt Tlle

The Bill TO Punish Wife Beaters.

The bill to punish wife beaters, by ad
ministering TO them dose of their sover
cign remedy for domestic troubles, has
been reported favorably by the House,
and includes the same punishment for
the striking or beating of any woman,
wife or otherwise, by man. Should it
become law every well regulated town
will have to erect a whipping post and
every constable and policemen will have
to go into practice to become on adept
at the cat The subsequent advance
ment in civilization will probably be the
introduction OF the stocks, the ducking
stool, thumb screw and rack. Burglars
and highwaymen will be gibbeted and
murderers drawn and quartered The
pardon board will then be useless except
to give bribe-taking and corrupt law
makers an opportunity to escape Just
punishment.

A singular funeral took place recently
in l'h~nixyille. A young lady had died
and the ntcrment was made somewhere
in the upper portion of Montgomery
county. The remains were taken from
the house in Phnnixvillc on the evening
previous to the funeral in the evening,
the coffin being left in the house at Pho
nlXvillc. On eappointed day the rea-
tiyes and friends assembled around the
coffin, all unconcious that the corpse was
IN IN adjoining county. Willing hands
lifted the coffin into the hearsc and low
ing hearts joined in the.sad cortcge, fol-
lowing the bier t. the depot, where, with
many tears,they saw the coffin borne away
on the train. The intcrment was made
on that day in due form at some burial

Four-bl ,ded the handle OF pearl
And great black words On the wrapper said
"For the darllngest little girl"
was gladl Oh. yes, yet the crims'n blood
TO my young checks came and went,
And my heart thumped wondrously plt-a-pat,
But didn't know what It meant
one night he said must jump on the Elod,
Forthc snow was falling f1st;
was half afraid but he coaXcd aud coaXed
And he got me on atlast
Laughing and chatting in merry glee,
To my home his course he bent;
My sisters looked at each other end smiled,
But didn't know what It meant.
Ten years passed on. and they touched his eye
With shadow OF deeper blue;
They gave to his form a manlcr grace
~ TO his cnoek a-swarthlcr hue.
We stood by the drcimlly ripping brook,
When the day was almost spent,
His whispers were soft as the lullaby;
And-now know what It meant.
