Rules in Pruning.

In prize essay on the philosophy of pruning J. F. Wilhite, Boone County, Mo-, gives the following rules in pruning:
 First-Always leave an inch of wood beyond their terminal bud, and let the cut be on the opposite side from the bud.
 Second-Always cut upward and in a sloping direction.
 Third-Prune so as to make but few wounds, and cut the surface as smooth as possible.
 Fourth-In cutting out an old branch prune even to the stem, that the wounds may heal over quickly. Fifth-Prune so as to obtain the quantity of fruit desired from the smallest number of shoots.
 Sixth-Never prune when the vines are frozen.
 Seventh-Never prune during the months of March, April or May, as pruning then will cause bleeding and an unnecessary flow of sap. Eighth-Let the general autumna pruning take place early in October, as soon as the gathering of the fruit vii | permit.

Novel Capture of MOOnshiner.
DRIVEN FROM HIS HIDING PLACE BY
 RATTLESNAKES.

A letter from Dallas, N. o., says {: An old moonshiner named Charles Folias, for whom the revenue officers have been searching for long time, was captured in the northern part of this county under somewhat peculiar circumstances. Folias operated with illicit stills in 8 small corner on the side of a creek. In order to prevent the officers from tracking him to his hiding place he always waded the stream and thus avoided making any tracks. A gang of officers were in the neighbor- hood of the illicit still, hunting other moonshiners supposed to be in that locality. Folias became aware of their presence, and made for his hole in the ground with all possible speed. Upon entering the mouth of the cavern the illicit distiller discovered nest of rat tlesnakes. He managed to reach the boiler and seize a dipper of boiling corn juice, which he hurled at his assailants. He soon dispatched the snakes, but be- fore he could make his way to 8 place of safety ID the cave several of the ven- omous reptiles continued the attack. Folias saw that if he remained he would be killed, and he took the only alterna- tive which seemed to be left-backed out of his underground still-house and gave himself up to the Government officers outside, with the remark "Gen tlemen, I want it understood that wa. forced to surrender on account of tho internal snakes inside, and you don't deserve no credit for it." The officers had been hunting Folias in vain fol years.

ALL BE RIGHT IN THE MORNING.
BY B. F. TAYLOR.

When the bounding beat of the heart of love. And the springing step, grow slow; When the form of a cloud in the blue above Lies dark on the path below, The soag that he sings is lost in sigh, And he turns where 8 star is dawnine Ana he thinks, as it gladdens his heart and his
 eye:
 It will all be right in the morning. p When "the strong man armed, in the middle
 watch,
 From Life's dim deck is gazing, And strives, through the wreck of the tempest,
 to catch
 gleam of the day-beams blazing; Amid the wild storm, there hard by the helm, He needs not the dark ocean yawning; For this song in bis soul not sorrow can
 wheim: -s'-'- -+~5t~~ -s< It will all be right in the morningr' When the battle is done, the harp unstrung, It's music trembling-dying; When his woes are unwept, and his deeds un-
 sung,
 Andhe longs in the grave to be lying, Then 8 voice shall charm, as it charmed before He had wept or waited the dawning: They do love there for aye-rn be thine as
 of yore-
 twill all be right in the morning r Thus all through the world, by ship and by
 shore;
 Where the mother bends over The cradle, whose tenant ''has gone on before;' Where the eyes of the lover Light the way to the soul; whatever the word, welcome, 8 wall, or warning, This is everywhere cherished-this everywhere
 heard:
 "It will all be right in the morning!''

Useless Education.

Old Ned's son returned from college the other day. The old man had looked forward to the event and had ar ranged dinner, to which he invited a large number of acquaintances. The young man was modest, and, to the humiliation of his father, made no at. tempt to display his learning. The old man waited several days, and when at last he saw no evidence of his sons education, he approached him and said:
 "Jim, it do seem ter me dat yer's putin yer edycation ter mighty po' use. I ain't heard big word from yer yit. can un'erstan' yer gist as well as I did fore yer went to dat school. Elf mans edycated I wants him ter talk so as I can't un'erstan' him. Me an yer mudder hab been talkin' bout dis matter, an we's grieved way down in de flesh. Jim, what's de big word fur grasshopper ?"
 Orthopterous insect of the genus capra, answered the young man.
 "But de luther day, when dem folks was heah, yer spoke ob grasshopper jes de same as de ignorestes nigger in de country, an brought shame down on de heads ob yer mudder an myself. Whats de big word fur goat ?"
 "Mammiferous quadruped of the genus capra," answered the young man.
 "But why didn't yer say 50, stead ob goat like 8 nigger, and bringin' de jingle of embarrassment to yer ladders face. What did I gin yer dat schoolin' fur Ter talk like de unedycated son ob pol white man? Think dat Ise gwine ter keep you heah in idleness lessen yer can refek credic on de family? Jim, what is de big word ful blamed fool ?"

The Pistol.

Says the Springfield Republican |: Edward Hovey, who has just been found guilty of murder in New York by a jury out only 15 minutes, appears to have been pistol fend of the worst kind. He has carried pistol since he knew what pistol was. His sister-in- law, the murdered woman, took pistol away from him the day before the mur- der. Then he left the house and pawned his coat for a 5O-cent pistol and some drinks of whisky. The next day his victim saw the new pistol and he shot her, he claims, as he was handing it to her. A more worthless and degraded kind of human vermin than that which exists on cheap pistols and whisky it is difficult to find.

"Indeed, indeedl Then it is very re- markable. This is my niece Gertrude, MT. Quedglington; am greatly obliged to you-greatly. Will you be kind enough to run away, Gertrude, and we will talk about it again 2"
 In a few minutes they were alone again.
 ESQ that was how you missed your train ?" asked the Head.
 Charley nodded.
 "Well, am greatly obliged to you. You are an honor to the col lege-in some respects. But of course I can make no alteration upon this account. You had no business going to Waiting bury, or returning from it. So must say good morning."
 Even Charley thought the Dean was treating him little cavalierly. butshe was not one to make much of his ser vices. He made for the door.
 "Ah, yes," said the Dean, when his hand was already upon it; "do you know my brother Sir Richard ? No, I think not. He has asked me to send him rod or two, to make up his party. My wife and niece are going to his place in the North tonight. Perhaps, MT. Quedglington, you would escort them, and stay until the end of tho term, when your home engagements fall in. Would it suit you ?'
 "I shall be delighted, sir,'' stam- mered Charley, the vision of Miss Ger trude pettishly stamping the floor with the smallest foot the male imagination can conceive before his eyes.
 Every well; you had better dine here early, as they go by the 8 o'clock train. Your letters could be forwarded from here," added the Dean, with a slight cough, "and then, perhaps, you need not trouble your people with your change of places. You go down to- night then. Good morning."
 That was how Charley Quedglington was sent down. Some people are in- clined to insinuate that it was all a plan of Mrs. Deans, and very suc- cessful plan, too. But that, we know, is all nonsense. One thing about it is certain that, to this day, the venerable Archdeacon is totally ignorant, and so are his intimate friends, that his son ever incurred the disgrace of being sent down from St. Aldate's. - London ISOcSety,

An Earthquake Experience.

Miss Fannie Snow of Rochester, N. r., who was in the city of Mexico dur ing an earthquake on the 18th of July, writes a graphic account of her sensa- tiens, which is published in the Demo- crot. The following is an extract:
 "We were walking briskly along San Francisco street in the hot sun, when felt myself suddenly whirling could not see. I called out, frightened, Why, Miss L., I'm dizzy!' So am I ? she responded, and l then l think for moment I lost my senses, for I had a wild idea that must get somewhere under shelter. As saw people all around dropping on their knees, I did not want to be the one conspicuous per- sonage on the street who would not kneel to the archbishop or the holy sacrament. Whatever thought, I stag gered into shoe store, and just as got inside it struck me that an earthquake was in session. They were repairing something or other in the store, and I vaguely felt through my dizziness that I must get out from under the scaffold- ing, and I somehow found myself in the street, standing on the corner and cling ing to building.
 ''By that time I had recovered my senses, and could phiiosophize on the subject. It was very interesting to watch the people. They poured out of the stores into the streets, and very generally knelt. took in the height of the buildings around, and concluded that should they fall into the narrow streets one might as we'll be in one spot as in another, so stayed in the shade. It was very quiet-not word spoken anywhere. I don't suppose it lasted three minutes, but it was the queerest sensation imaginable. For the moment that I did not know what it was was dreadfully frightened, but the moment it occurred to me that it was only an earthquake, was as composed as if ] had taken earthquakes for daily exer. else all my life. was quite seasick fol 8 little while, and never was seasi ok al sea. I am actually so dizzy now, al 10 o'clock, that can hardly write. As soon as the undulating ceased I set out to find Miss L., who had totally dis appeared. I went back to my corner and turned down the Profesa; only !, few steps down and I found Miss L. leaning against window. She hat seen me plunge wildly into the sho store, and, thinking that we had walked into some poisonous gas, turned ant fled. She staggered along little dis tance until she reached drug store went in and sank into a chair, all tn
 time thinking it was poisonous gas tha had affected her. Some gentleman brought her water, and told her wha was the trouble, but she had neve heard the word in Spanish and did no comprehend never knew it was a earthquake till she saw us, and we aske
 her how she enjoyed it.

A Gloomy Report.

Miss Collins, Superintendent of the Boston charity known as Boffin's Bower, publishes a gloomy report. An unus- ually large number of girls have, she tells us, strayed from the right path this year, in consequence of the combi- nation of high prices without increased wages. s'I think" she adds, "the greatest benefactor to young women of the present day would be some one who would sink few thousand dollars upon which they could draw while learning trades, or in any other trying emergen- cies, either as donation or loan that they could eventually repay without in- terest. I hope crusade will be inau- gurated against the low wages of wom- en-" Miss Collins assumes that young women are driven by low wages to re- sort to wrong ways of getting money, but in many instances they only do this through false pride. There is perpet- ual demand, very insuficiently met, for domestic servants, who, when efficient, can obtain the most liberal remunera- tion, with very considerate treatment. How active this demand is can be proved by the fact that the wages paid to an ignorant, inefficient girl here are what would be given to an accomplished housekeeper, after, perhaps. fifteen years service, in Europe. The high wages to domestics and the low wages to girls in stores, etc., arise, of course, from the small supply of the one and the continual glut in the market of the other. It would be edifying to learn from Miss Collins how many of the girls who have deviated from the right path by reason of low remuneration in stores, etc., have before such deviation striven to get employment in private service.

A Giant ON Els Muscle.
LOVE AND JEALOUSY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE A..

The most conspicuous man at Atlantic City this
season is Col Rush Goshen, well known I'm this
city. He is IS years or age, feet inches m
height, and weighs $50 pounds, and is at present
exhibiting with circus which is doing the shore
resorts during the summer. Col Goshen, while at
Atlantic City few days ago. met John Sweet a
snowman, on the board-w walk, and In settlement OF
q feud OF long standing between Them proceeded 20
scatter his diminutive foe about he beach. When
the bewfldered Snowman could gather himself up
he caused a warrant TO be issued for the giant.
who was taken before a magistrate and held In
SSOO Oail 10 answer at the September term OF Mays
Landing court According 10 Sweet the colonel
drew revolver and threatened TO shoot him, and
followed up his threats by striking the little show
man several times over the head ana right arm
with q cane, infcting several scalp wounds and
yorced wife OF Goshen. He says that the difficulty
grew out OF the fact that he now owns a farm near
New Brunswick, Somerset county, N. j., which
formerly belonged To the giant, but which he ee.
cured by paying on a s.. 500 mortgage on it.
The greatest giant in the world" told a differ
ent story. He alleged that Sweet acted with du-
pilclty and deceit toward him in return for kind
ness and assistance rendered him some two or
three years ago. Sweet married the widow OF
Sebastian, a famous circus rider. He was poor at
the time, and Goshen offered him and his wife q
home upon his New Brunswick farm, which they
accepted. While he was upon Pacific tour Co
shenS wife and Sweet appropriated over $500 in
silver which he had I'm the house, burned ND
$4,000 worth OF bonds, took his goat, valued at
$lOO. and his horse and wagon, and eloped Go.
Shen got a divorce from his faithleSs wife, who
subsequently married Sweet and now appears an
a Snake-charmer at his show.
