At eight o'clock that evening Caleb
Morton reached his farm, an altered
and happy man.
Never had the old place seemed so
dear to him as now, and he gazed
around the fertile fields, and at the
old square gray house, as we only gaze
at the things that we love when they
have been nearly lost to us, and then,
by nerciful interposition Of Provi-
dence restored.
His wife met him at the door, eager

Miscellaneous Items.

Sheep give two crops year, one in
the fleece and one in the lambs; some
times three, for in California and Texas
they shear twice a year.
"A reputable authority vouches for
cooked corn meal and potatoes served
a reguls time, for three or four weeks
before slaugh 'ering time, being the best
food for fattening fowls.
If, when hogs begin to cough and
show signs Of depression, they could
have clean quarters, with plenty ofgreen
God and clean water, much of the NOR
tally in this stock might be prevented.
1t pays to have dry and comfortable
walks from the house to the barn, to
the woodshed and about tie yard. At
leisure time look to these matters, and
your wife will not sigh for the comforts
of her old home.
1t is stated that single firm in
Philadelphia last year manufactured
and sold over 100 tons of Paris green
for the destruction of the potato. beetle
and cottOn-worm,
The value of agricultural nipple
ments yearly produced in the United
States has increased tenfold since 1858.
In that year the census showed it to
be Sc, 100000. Now it is more than
sos 100000.
Some idea can be formed of the
magnitude of operations among reaper
cage firm recently paid the owner of
patents on an improved binder the
sum of 100000 for the privilege of
manufacturing the machine.
EARLY varieties of potatoes do not
ordinarily produce as well as those that
mature considerably later, a they have
shorter time in which to grow. They
generally have thinner skin and are
consequently more likely to be injured
in handling.
One advantage in pasturing sheep,
and one which greatly promotes fertil-
ity, is that these animals naturally Sc
lect the highest points in the field for
reclining at night. AS these spots are
usually less fertile, the feed consumed
on the low lands helps to bring up
what needs fertilizing most, and thus
an equilibrium of fertility is preserved.
The signal service has recently
given notice that it will send out tele-
graphic warnings of frost to the tobacco
growing districts during September
and October, and suggests thai the
warnings received at telegraph stations
be scattered as promptly and as widely
as possible by the parties receiving
them. The coming of "cold waves"
can now be known, and much loss pre-
vented.
There is quiet about the life of
farmer, and the hope of a serene old
age, that now other business or profess
onal man is doomed sometimes to feel
that his powers are waning. He is
doomed to see younger and stronger
men pass him in the race Of life. He
will be last where once he was first,
But the farmer goes, as it were, into
partnership, with nature. There is no
constant or frightful strain upon his
mind. He watches the flock and herds
as they feed upon the green sunny
slopes. He hears the pleasant rain fall
ing upon the waving corn, and he
trees he planted in his youth rustic
above him as he plants others for hls
children yet to be.

HEALTHFULNEss OF HONEY An ex.
change makes the following remarks
on this subject:
Americans are lovers of sweets, and
consume an average of 40 pounds or
more of sugar for every man, woman
and child of our population. TO meet
this demand millions of dollars worth
of sugar are imported annually, and
millions Of dollars worth of honey are
allowed to go to waste for the want OF
bees to collect and put in proper shape
for the use of man. 1t is not rs gene
rally known as it should be that honey
may be employed for sweetening pur.
poses instead of sugar, for most of the
purposes for which the latter is used.
But could we supply it to the extent OF
diminishing our imports of sugar to
one-half their present proportions, and
millions of dollars would be saved for
the purposes of business in our own
country.
But far above all money considera-
tions would be the use of pure sweet
upon the health of the people, instead
of the vile compounds now sold as SUI
gar and syrups. TIE healthfulness of
honey as food has been admitted from
the earliest writers down through the
centuries to the present time. Hence
we have nothing to fear from the free
use of honey, while recent develop
ments show We have much 10 fear in
the use of adulterated sugars and
syrups. But the price of honey in the
pas. has had much to do in the keep
ing it from the tables of men Of limited
means, who did not possess the work
ers to collect and store it for them.
Honey is a vegetable production, APP
pearing in greater or less quantities in
every flower that mods to the breeze or
kisses the bright sunlight in all this
heaven-iavored land of ours. 1t is Sc
creted in the flower for the purpose of
attracting insects, thus securing the
complete fertilization of the female
blossoms. Hence it folio rs that all the
honey we can secure in the hour of its
presence in the hectares of the flowers,
is clear gain from the domain of nature.

If WE KNEW.

1--we knew the cares and crosses
Crowding round our neighbor way
II we knew the little losses
Ssrely grievous day by day.
Would we then 50 often chide him
For his lack OF thrift and gain
Leaving Oh his heart a shadow,
Leaving on our lives stain
If we knew the clouds above US,
Held by gentle blessings there,
Would we turn away all trembling
In our blind and weak despair
Would we shrink from shadows
Lying on the dewy grass,
While It's only birds o. Eden
Just in mercy flying past
If we knew the silent story
Quivering through the heart of pain,
Woul! our manhood care to doom them
Back TO haunts of guilt again
Life hath many tangled crossing,
Joy hath many break OF woe
And the check tear stained is whitest--
This the blessed angels know.
Let us reach into our bosom
For the key to others lives,
And with love to erring nature,
Cherish good that still survives
So that whom our disrobed spirits
Soar TO realms of right again,
We may say: Dear Father judge us
AS we judge our fellow men,"

Saving Cabbages Til Spring.

We know of 40 better way to pre-
serve cabbages through the winter,
says the Germantown Telegraph. than
that which we have recommended for
a number of years. 1t is to plant or
set them up in rows as they grow
that is, with the roots down-till in
with soil pretty freely, then make a
covering by planting two posts where
there is a fence to rest on, or four
where there is not, allowing for pitch
to carry off the water, lay bean poles

A PoOrhouse in Flames-Many of the

A PoOrhouse i'm Flames-Many of the In-
 mates Burned to Death.
 HALIFAX, Nov Fire broke out here at
 midnight in the eastern end of the Provin' cial poor asylum, an immense six-story brick structure containing about 4sO persons. The flames spread with lightning rapidity, and
 soon they reached the part of the building
 used as a hospital. The inmates rushed
 aboatsthe building in great confusion, seem- ing almost out of their senses, and the work
 of getting them out was very difficult. Most of them were helpless and could not leave their beds, and were perhaps stifed by the smoke before the flames reached them {; but others were to dash them- selves against the windows and cling to the sashes till their strength was exhausted or their hands wer. burned of, and they fell back into ths flames. A woman was seen to drag herself to @ corner windo W and force her body half out until she could breathe the cool air outside. She remained in that position till her head was burned off. It is known that there were about seventy patients in the hospital, and, so far as could be ascertained, only half dozen were carried out before the flames cut of all further approach to the place. A medical man who is in a position to know estimates the loss of life to be not less than fifty, and these were all patients in the hospital. The poor old people and little children got out of the other parts of the building, and were huddled together in the barn some little dis tance away, and were there packed around with straw and blankets to keep them con- fortable till morning.

Columbia Defented by Princeton.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-About two thousand persons witnessed the match game of foot ball on the Polo grounds to-day between the teams from the colleges of Princeton and Co., lumbia. The day was all that could be de- sired and there was no mud to interfere with the contestants This was a boon to those who watched the game. It gave them a chance of seeing who had the best of the bat tie. Had it been knee deep in mud, however, there could be no doubt to the result, for the Prlnoetonians were overwhelmingly superior to their antagonists. The Jersey men assumed the offensive as soon ss the kickoff was given and in the first half of the game Princeton gained four goals and two touchdowns and in the second half they made four more goals to three touchdowns. In the meantime Columbia had been forced to touch for safety five times.

The ResuIt In Yfrstnfa.


 RICHMOND, Nov. 7.-The election to-day has been most exciting. Tax receipts are re- quired voting perquisites, and receipts signed by two collectors wore deemed illegal by Judge Christian of the Hustings court. The judges of election acted upon this advice and several were arrested by United States supervisors. compromise was effected by allowing the precincts closed by the arrest of the judges to be reopsned and the voting te go on under protest from Judge Christian that the same will be illegal. The judges were admitted to bail for examination to day before the United States commissioner. The arrest caused several hundred voters of each party to lose their votes, the polls closing be- fore all could vote. These voters are regis tering and it is probable that if a close con test occurs contest will follow.
