TIE DBCENCIEs OF IIPE.--There
are persons in the world who, in
order TO screen themselves from the
charge of extravagance and folly,
try to do 1t under the plea OF de-
cency. These persons will commi,
many acts which, if they had true
IDEAS of decency, they hesitate to
perpetrase' We think the follow

that come under the cognomen OF
not decent !:

it is desirable that those should be
preserved, and hence the point for
successful grass-cutting is that be-
tween the full development of the
plant, and before the formation of
their seeds, in other words, when
they are in flower.
In the chemical nature of grass
and hay us food for cattle il is dem
onstrated that starch, sugar and gum
are important elements of the food,
and we repeat that it should be the
object OF farmers to cut grass for the
purpose of hay-making at that period
when the larger amount of matter is
contained in it. This is assuredly at
an earlier period of it's growth than
when it has shot into seed, for it is
then that the woody matter predomi.

in water. and therefore less calcu-
lated to serve as food to animals than
substances capable of assuming a
soluble condition. 1t ought to be the
object of the farmer to preserve his
hay for winter use in the condition
most resembling the grass in its high
est state of perfection.

deal of grain, and the stock would

One of the mysteries of the age is
what Henry Ward Beecher has done
with his money. At one time he was
in receipt of $4,000 from his church,
$4,000 from his newspaper. 100000
from his lccturing, and $4,000 from
marriage fees, literary works and his
books. making Il total of 100000 q
year. Yet Beecher never had any
money TO spare. His household was
modest. not expensive !; his wife was
apparently not extravaganza. he gave
nothing. that was known. tn charity,
and Yet he was always impecuniors.
When he wanted to help Tilton he
gave Il mortgage upon his house, and
now he has sold his house, furniture
and buildings and gone to live with u
married son. He told me he did this
because the Young birds had all

and yet it was It marvel that i'm his
old age he should leave his comfort

and very evident regret at the break

strange. but the unfinished story i'm
regard to his farmer, Thomas Turner,
at Pcekskill, is still more strange.
When Turner died Mr.. Beecher took
charge of his papers, and burned Il
large number of them, among which;
it is alleged. were IL number of
promissory notes. The whole thing
has Il queer look, and the question
which agitateS the newspaper men

THE BEST TIME FOR CUTTING GRASS.
The haying season will soon be
with us. and we wish to say to the
farmers that from long experience
we have found to a certainty that the
loss they sustain by letting their hay
get too ripe before they cut it is SIM
[ply immense. From actual experl-
Fments made we find that the proper
|time,t to cut hay is when it is in BIOS
SOM! Both science and experience

Stages to contain so much water as to

turity have their starch, gum and
sugar in large quantities converted
