"A few days since jolly son of the ocean
was about being put on board an outward
bound ship, for which he had previously en-
tered, when he asked leave to have another
run "up town" Being informed that he
could not be permitted to go, as the ship was
about to sail, he sang out to man on the
wharf, an entire stranger to him, Here, my
friend" throwing him five shilling piece

Monarch of Trees :-once more again, to-day
In green luxurance clothed. and ivy-twined,
Thy noble form waves proudly in the wind
Beneath tie smile Of summers genial ray:
For winters icy frown hath passed away,
And glorious spring, throughout thy leaves we
find.
Hath new born life thy verdure all assigned,
More beauteous. rising from their past decay:
Thus still lesson arr thou unto me-
That, though our lives, embittered oft by care,
May seem unending in advcrsity,
Yet will there come day when, leaving here
TRANSPORTED then. in immortality,
The soul. from sutferings past, more glorious
will appear!

How to Shake Hands,

There are only two or three people now
living who can successfully shake hands
There is a good deal of hand-shaking done
through the country, especially at this season
of the year, but only very small per cent. o
| the shakers and shakees know how to do it
so rs to get the entire amount of eXhilaration
out of it. Some grab the hand of an adver-
sary in quick, nervous manner that scares
| the victim nearly to death, while others slide
the cold and clammy paw at you So that you
| feel the same as when you drop cold raw
oyster, with vinegar on it, down your back
you are shaking hands with lady incline
| the head forward with q soft and graceful, yet
half timid movement, like boy climbing q
barbed-wire fence with fifty-pound water
melon Look gently in her eyes with a kind
of pleading smile, beam on her features
bright and wnsome smile, say something that
you have heard some one else say on similar
occasion, and in the meantime shake her hand
| in q subdued yet vigorous way, not as though
you were trying to make mash by pulveriZ
| ing her fingers, nor yet in too conservative a
| manner, allowing her hand to fall with q
sickening thud when you let 60 Care should
be taken also not to hang on to the hand more
than half an hour in public, as bystanders
| might make remarks. This is now consider
ed quite Outre and mandamus
HAVANA ToBACCos The tobacco known
| all over the world as Havana tobacco, is
| grown on the south coast, at the extreme
| west of the Island of Cuba, on strip of
country called the Vuelta Abao The tract
is about so miles long by 90 WIDE This
Vuelta Abajo is the choicest tobacco, and
| when cigars are manufactured of it straight"
that is, both filler and wrapper, they retail
from Is to % cents apiece according to
where you buy EN-" AT wholesale such ci-
CARS sell at from $40 to 5000 per 1000. Next
in value to the tobacco of Vuelta AbaiC is
that of Mayari, which is raised in Cuba, over
an extent of about so miles This makes q
fair cigar, though fetching proportionately
less price. Then there are other Havana to-
baccos, the Remedies Partido and Cuba
1t is not often that the best Havana cigars
are made OF the Havana leaf throughout
When they are, however, and other things
being equal, such as skill in the process of
making neatly prepared wrapper, a bunch
not tight and the material duly seasoned,
there is no earthly reason why an American
made cigar cannot be just rs good as an inn
ported one. 1t is hard to persuade connois-
seurs of this fact, but fact it nevertheless is
that home made cigars are as good as those
which bear the import stamp of the United
States revenue Office.

PoRT DEPOSIT, MD, January 4, 1881.
Mr.. JOHN +. MARSHALL:
Dear SE-This ia to certify that have used the
Popplein Silicated Phosphate bought of you for
two years past on my entire range of truck, and
the results have been highly satisfactory. 1t is
decidedly the best fertilizer | ever used, and
have used several standard brands. have tested
it beside good compost from my hen-house, and
find where used the Popplen my crops mature
much longer, and the fruit is of a superior quail
ty. Where used it on cabbage they were twice
as large as where there was none put. Another
good thing can say In favor of this fertilizer is
that can put my plants or seed in the same hill
with the phosphate without any injury to the
plant or seed. This have tried to perfection
very truly, JOSEPH STEBBING.

P0lplein Siitcdted Phosphate COmFauny:
Gentlemen-lh have used your Fertilizer for four
years past on the entire range of field and garden
crops, and always with the most satisfactory re-
suits.
have found it especially adapted to the growth
of potatoes and Sugar Beets and my crop last sea-
son of over twelve hundred bushels of these roots
was grown with this fertilizer, and their quality
may be Inferred from the fact that, in a strong
competition, received six first premiums at the
last fair of the Peninsula Agricultural and Po-
biological Association for the largest and best dis
play of root crops. The splendid mechanical con-
dition in which your Fertilizer is furnished, and
its uniform quality, as determined by annual
analysis i'll the State Laboratory of Delaware
College, render 1t most valuable 10 our farmers
and fruit-growers. Yours, respectfully,

that may be obtained for nothing,
and which will be Of great benefit to
his land. Most village people make
no use of the ashes produced i'll their

brewer has any use for the hops that
have been boiled in his watts. and the
blacksmith hardly ever saves the
clippings he takes from feet Of horses
All these materials make excellent
