The Old Man.

An old man is beautiful object in his
own place, in the midst of a circle of
young people, going down in various graz
dations to infancy, and all looking up to
the patriarch with fiia1 reverence, keep
ing him warm by their own burning
youth; giving him the freshness of their
thought and feeling with such natural in
dux that it seems as if it grew within his
heart; while on them he reacts with an
influence that sobels. tempers, keeps
them down. His wisdom, very prob
ably, is of no great account-he cannot
fit to any new state ofthings; but, never
theless, it works its effect. In such q
situation, the old man is kind and genial,
mellow, more gentle and generous, and
wider minded than ever before. But, if
left to himself, or wholly to the society
of his contemporaries, the ice gathers
about his heart, hope grows torpid, his
love-having nothing of his own blood
to develop it-grows cold; he becomes
selfish, when he has nothing in the pres
ent or future worth caring about in HIM
self; so that, instead ola beautiful object,
he is an ugly one, little, mean, and tor
pid. ! suppose one chief reason to be
that, unless he has his own race about
him he doubts of anybody's love, he
feels himself stranger in the world,
and so becomes misunderstanding rne.

No person must expect eggs in severe
weather without good fowl house for
his stock. Another condition to be OBJ
served is not to overcrowd. No more
than fifty or one hundred should be
kept together in one house. With the
requisite food added almost any breed

"Naldo" claims that wheat sown dur
ing the fall "has not made half the
growth it did last year, and i account
for it from the fact of the extremely wet

The value of good unleached wood
ashes is chiefly for the potash they con-

which is as valuable as the potash some
times. Hardwood ashes contain 10 per
cent. of potash, worth cents a pound !;
9 l2 per cent. of phospheric acid; worth
10 cents a pound, and 80 per cent. of

are mofo valuable than mineral potas /

Effects of Cold.

While most solid substances are con-
tracted by cold, sol saturated with
water expands the same as water itself.
The greatest cold will not kill the roots
of hardy crops like wheat, rye and grass,
but the expansion of the wet soil one
eighth of its bulk rends and tears their
roots. Two or three alternate freezings
and thawings of the ground, if wet. Will
do far more harm to winter crops than
the longest, severest steady winter ever
known. The important lesson taught by
this is, be sure to Gear out the dead fur
rows and their outlets now, and again
early in spring, 50 as to drain off all
standing water to a point below the

You desire few details ofmy early life,
as much has been published of an erro-
neous nature concerning it. | was born
on the Isle-not the state-of Jersey,
twenty eight years ago. My father was
Dean of the island, and Senior Dean ofthe
United Kingdom. My grandfather and
great grandfather also belonged to the
clergy-all were dignitaries ofthe church.
My mother was Scotchwomah. | had
six brothers, and all but one were older
than l. 7 was the only girl. led a
most retired life, sharing my brothers,
pursuits an receiving the same ed
ucation. until reached my Goth
year. Then l married Mr.. Edward
Langtry, and passed six months honey
moon on a yacht. Two years subse-
quently went to London-chietiy to
seek the advice of a physician, as had
just recovered from a severe attack OF
typhoid fever, and dreaded its conse-
quences. Ny entrance into London So
cial life dates from party at Lady Sc
bright's. Thence forward | was invited
everywhere and treated with the great
est Kindness and consideration. During
three seasons l figured necessarily in
London society. Meanwhile the great
expense come ted with social pleasures,
and the Irish troubes-my husband be-
ing an Irish land owner and largely de-
pendent for his income upon his prop
erty in Ireland-exhausted our means.
1t became necessary for me to earn
a livelihood bad strong inclination
for the stage. and my husband sane
toned it. NY family in Jersey was
was shrunken; four of my brothers had
died-my favorite brother was killed by
a fall in the hunting field-so the pros
pect of absence from England was less
distressing than it might have been. Mr..
Langtry strove and is striving TO do his
share toward restoring our fortunes, and
regrets as much as / do that he is unable,
on that account, to accompany me to
America. That is my whole story,
Since arrived here my life has been a
public one; have had nothing to conceal
and have nothing to excuse, content in
the belief that falsehood and malignity
will in the end defeat themselves with
out effort ON my part. Yours truly,
LILY LANGTRY.

PLEA.


Say thou dost love me, let me hear again
The tender music of that sweet refrain
That ever soothes my weary heart to rest
And comes, my longing souls most well
come guest.
Life robbed of love is but wilderness
Where anxious hearts o'erburdened witt
distress
Forever seek content and peace to know
And only find unrest and pain and woe.
Iweary love, Of earth's unceasing jar,
Where hope is but dim, half hidden star.
And Joy ftful CLEAN too often lost
Among the threat'ning clouds its path has
crossed.
Then let me hear thy loving tones repeat
Soft, melting tones, with tenderness replete,
Say but II love thee" and all life shall be
a glowing dream of perfect joy to me.
