In lecture on the "Chinese at Home
+. b. Drew, Commissioner of Chinese Inn
periaI Maritime Customs, says ''The
chief characteristic of the Chinese, as ma
ton. is industry. Their working day be
Gins at dawn and lasts till sunset Schools
open at sunrise and do not close till five
p. NJ. there being but one short recess
during the day. The Emperor and his
Court rise soon after midnight, and Court
audiences are given between five and eight
o'clock in the morning. After sunset very
few people are in the streets, the Chinese,
like domestic fowls, retiring early to rest.
There is no day corresponding to Sunday,
and only few holidays in the year. Bus
ily as they toll, these people are never IN a
hurry, are never nervous and are not given
To Worrying. but are steady, cheerful and
sober. They rarely quarrel, and if they do,
seldom come to blows There viii be a
little queue pulling, some calling of hard
names and then the bystanders will quietly
separate the eombatants. 1t is not physi-
cal timidity, but a sensitive consciousness
of the disgrace of fighting that keeps them
from engaging in brawls. That they are
not towards is well proven by the fact that
they submit without finching to the most
severe surgical operations without ever
using anestheties. They maintain that 1t
is very injurious to health to be nervous, to
worry or to give way to anger.

How true il Is that it is easier to see
another make a great sacrifice than to make
il ourselves. Life Is one Of the things
which We are ala unwilling to give up. II
may not b. worth the living, as some Of
our philosophers ere trying to prove; still,
whether it is worth it OF not, We all want
to live. We sigh in the deadly pangs OF
unrequited love and mediate self-murder,
but the meditation seldom takes serious
shape, and after while the wound heals
and life is sweet once more until another
disappointment makes it's appearance. A
Russian nobleman recently lay on his death
bed. One Of the curious fancies was TO
have his wife robe herself in her wedding
dress and stand BY his bedside. 1t was
very natural bit Of sentiment, and in the
course of an hour the beautiful woman
stood by his side arrayed in the garments
of twenty years ago. When asked why he
had asked her to do it, however, his answer
betrayed his willingness to let every one
else 90, provided only that he could him
self stay behind, and showed that however
broken his body was his mind was perfect
" clear. All he sighed, you look so
beautiful in that dress that | hoped that

THE OLD MAN.


Written for the Democratic 4drocate,
The old mans step was feeble,
And his form was bent and worn,
Like a tree bowed down by the wayside,
That the storm has stripped and torn.
For fourscore years had the sums7ers heat
And storms of life on his poor head beat;
But through them all. like thing apart
Had lived and glowed the old mans heart.
His hand was shrunk and wasted,
As he brushed his thin white hair,
And his cane, like faithful servant,
stood close by his easy chair,
While the cheerful glances lovingly sent
From dim eyes filed with a sweet content,
Made me feel that helpless age must be
crown of glory to such as he.
His voice, though weak and broken,
Had a music all its own,
And thought, from heights eternal,
Where the stronger notes had aown-
There must come from the youth Immortal,
Through the mystic heavenly portal,
Voices that answered his quiyering tone
With echoes that fall from the great whit
throne

A radiance filed the room,
From distant hills Of glory;
knew that stood on holy ground,

We're drawing the old mans life to heaven.

House and Farm.

APPLICATIONS OF LINE. -Thousands
Of bushels of line are annually thrown
a way by improper methods Of arpl,-
cation. Every farmer is believer in
the benefits derived from lime, and
even on limestone lands it is used with
advantage. AS all plants contain
more or less lime it not only serves as
an important element Of food but in
some sections it's use is an absolute
necessity. 1t may be safely said that
all soils contain some limo Lime in
the soil. being principally in the shape
of carbonate, is little influenced by the
action OF rains. When limestone is
burnt it merely loses its carbouic acid,
and when we slack it with water the
lime unites with water, which crys-
tallizes and forms hydrate Q: lime.
After awhile, by attracting carbonic
acid from the air, the lime becomes
again a carbonate, and is then in the
same condition as before burning, that
ia, it has become once more limestone
in q fine condition. Lime is often
bought and Stacked, and then placed
aside until some convenient time ar
rives for putting it on the land; and
as the process Of Stacking is consider.
ed an ordinary occurrence it is some
times done carelesslv. When it is
ready to be broadcasted it generally
goes to the field in Jumps oriu the
haps if,6ne gravel. The farmer who
knows how to use lime is very careful
10 apply the lime, if possible, as Cine
powder, for then the benefit from it,
application is more direct; it reache'
every part, and less quantity isre
ruired, which amply rspays for the
..bor Of preparation. Glover, peas
Scans, potatoes, &C., are lime plants
and we can account for the beneficial
fleets Of plaster (sulphate of liIe
by knowing that it is slightly soluble
IN water, and every rain dissolveS
portions Of it, thus furnishing ready
},me food. The freshly Stacked hme
when in the shape Of hydrate is also
dissolved by water, and as its effects
are not only shown in the growth Of
the crop but also as a chemical agent
In the soil, the advantage Of using
judgement and cafe in its preparation
and application can be seen at once
In the first place, in stacking the
burnt lime too much water should bt
guarded against. Use it sparing'y
as tho lime will become finer, anC
contain fewer !umps. After the lime
IS dry every bushe Of it should be s It
ed, Jumps broken and the Whole mas
brought to 6ne, powdered condition
Applied in such a fine condition. TIM
will convince the farmer that TIT
labor expended will be as nothing
compared to the difference between
the lime in that condition and wheI
in a lumpy or gravelly state. Th'
tendency Of lime is downwards in TIT
earth, Tor the always takes with !
more or less lime whenever 1t falls
and the kinds Of lime most sub ect t
the action of moisture are those tina
are in the finest possible state of dl
vision. Hard Jumps that have re
verified to limestone are almost useless
and their application is extravaganza
1t is admitted than there are unseeI
and often unknown agencies tina
work even upon the Jumps, but tn
processes ale slower and less certain
than when by little care the lin
is broadcastcG over the soil in fresh
rulvsrized condition.
