Tobacco Plant Beds.

1t is not well to SOW the seed too early, as
frosts often destroy the young plants. The
ground should be free from frost, and work
without being pasty crumbling when
turned. The surface should be rich, and the
soil made very fine before sowing; and then
we find it better to SOW so thick that the
plants will fully occupy the whole
surface, rather than sow so thin that
weeds grow instead although the thin seeding
gives the more stocky plants, provided the
weeds are kept out entirely. Still, with heavy
seeding, there is usually no trouble in obtain
ing good plants, where proper after treat
ment is given. Instead of spreading
one tablespoonful of seed over 100 square
yards of surface, have found it preferable to
apply ten times that quantity. Great care is
to be used in scattering the seed evenly over
the whole surface.
Unless there is plenty to feed on, the plants
will not grow, but take ON yellow, sckly
appearance; therefore guano and other fer
tilizers are applied much more literally than
otherwise would be the case. If the bed
never has been used for the purpose before, a
cart load of good stable manure is none too
much to pillow under, and four quarts of pull
verified guano must also be worked into the
surface of a bed 10 by 20 feet Then SOW the
seed, and either roll with a heavy roller or
tread the surface. A close fitting board
frame to surround the bed is good thing
to keep off intruders, and answers well to
support and hold a cloth covering in case it
is desirable for starting the plants early, or
to protect from frosts or insects Cheap
unbleachcd cotton sheetng is as good as any
thing, and is better than glass, as it requires
less attention and costs only fractional part
as much Where tie tobacco fly troubles the
plant bed, it would be well to try fencing
them out in this way. Radish seed might be
sown outside around the bed for the fly to
feed on, in addition.

Get a Home.

We would have every true man build for
himself home, be it ever so humble in its
beginning. Industry and frugality and good
judgment will make of it the most lovely
spot on earth. The man without home is
like a sojourner without country The
richest, happiest, and the best man in the
wide world is he who has pretty, comforta-
Bile home of his own, a family, good health,
and owes no man cent, even though his en-
tire worldly possessions would not sell for a
thousand dollars, and though he has never
held so high an office as town constable or
road-master. We sometimes feel constrained
TO doubt whether man without home can
at best be but an Indifferent patriot. He
cannot feel that interest in other peoples real
prosperity that he feels in his own, and with
out such prosperity we could have no country
worthy name. He would scarcely care to
risk his life in defense of the hearthstone of
his landlord, but let that hearthstone be his
own, and woe to the invader who should
threaten it with dissertation. The homes of
people are the strength of the State. Build
them, beautify them, own them, and be hap
py. This is the fair deduction from hosts of
instances, and is the true philosophy of home
making and home owning

Cultiyating Pansies.

For summer blooming plants SOW seed in
the house in March or April. Cigar boxes
are very suitable for seed sowing. Put in a
layer of coarse sand for drainage, then one of
horse manure for bottom heat. Fill with
| rich, mellow earth sifted and mixed with one
third silver sand or finely pulverized leaf
mould. Have it moist but not drenched.-
With narrow strip of board makes tiny fur
rows about one and half inches apart, and
in these carefully drop the seed one by one
an inch distant. Cover slightly and press the
soil firmly, then lay piece ofold soft flannel
folded once or twice and wrung lightly out
of warm water, carefully over the soil, which
will keep it damp. Cover with glass, and keep
it in a warm place. In few days see if the
covering is dry, ifso, damp it again, and watch
for the seedlings. When they appear, remove
the flannel, but still keep on the glass, not,
however so close as to exclude all air.
Gradually inure them to the sunlight, and as
soon as they have made four or five leaves,
it is best to transplant every other one, so
that they may have room to grow. Great
care is needful with tender seedlings to keep
them from damping of. If too wet they
will do this, or if kept too shady. Good judg-
ment is essntial for success. AS the weather
becomes warm, expose them at first an hour
or two to the outdoor air, and thus prepare
them for early bedding out. Being hardy
plants, living out Of doors during the winter,
with slight protection at the North, they will
bear transplanting sooner than many other
seedlings. A rich moist soil, and somewhat
cool and shaded situation, are best adapted
for their growth. For winter flowers, SOW
seed the last of August or first of September,
in frame or boxes kept in a shady place.

Habits of the Arab.

An Arab on entering q house removes his
shoes but not his hat. He mounts his horse
on the right side, while his wife milks the
COW on the left side In writing letter he
puts nearly all his compliments on the out
side With him the point ola pin is its head,
while its head is made its heel. His head
must be wrapped up warm even in summer,
while his feet may well enough go naked in
winter. Every article of merchandise which
is liquor he weighs, and he measures wheat,
barley and few other articles. He reads
and writes from right to left. He eats scarce
ly anything for breakfast, about as much for
dinner, but after the work of the day is done
he sits down to a full meal swimming in oil,
or, better yet boiled butter His sons eat
with him, but the females of his house wait
till his lordship is done. He rides donkey
when travelling, his wife walks behind. He
laughs at the idea of walking in the street
with his wife and of ever vacating his seat
for woman. He knows no use for chairs,
tables, knives, forks or even spoons unless
they are wooden or bone Bedsteads, bureaus
and fireplaces may be placed in the same cate
CORY. lfhe be an artisan he does his work
sitting, perhaps using his feet to hold what

unless his home be on the seashore. He is
rarely seen drunk is deficient in affection for
his kindred, has little curiosity and no ANNA
ton, no wish to improve his mind, no desire

The young lady, Miss Julia Kentridge b,
name, was to start for New York in
few days, and ON hearing this, Dick engage,
passage on the steamer. The voyage was
pleasant one, and before they arrived a
Sandy Hook, Miss Julia had promised tina
with her mothers consent, she would becom,
Dicks Wife When they reached the city
the young lady found a carriage in waiting
for her, and Dick having determined not t6
enter his fathers house, for the present Al
least, went direct to an obscure hotel
The next day he mounted the steps of the
| Madison avenue mansion and rang the bell
A servant ushered him into the parlor, and
shortly afterwards entered Miss Kentridge.
When they had greeted each other after
the usual manner of lovers, Julia said:
"lf you will excuse me for moment, Rich.
ard, will go and inform my mother that you
have come"
Dick was seated under window, looking
out, and did not notice her return till she
sid:
"Mr. Halliday. allow me TO-"
Dick had turned at the sound of her voice,
ready to appear ut his best, but he staggered
back fairly thunderstruck, for there behind
him stood the late widow-his fathers wife
"Ireallly-"he gasped, "I-that is, 1 did
"Of course you did not" said the lady,
helping him out. How could you but here
is your father"
"Yes here am, Dick, my boy" cried the
the old gentleman, rushing in. How are
you, lad, how are your"
They shook hands cordially, and the old
man said:
"Dick, my lad, you're trapped-you're en-
shared. My wife and | were in Paris to
bring Julia home, and when she told us of
her meeting with you, we just put our heads
together to make n match oft. We came
over with you on the same steamer"

before, you know, ha la p and he went off
in a fit of laughter that nearly choked him.
After dinner the old gentleman said:
"Well, Dick, our foreign business is going
to the bad, sure enough and think the best
thing you can DO is to marry at once and
take your bride abroad and look after it.

one, and upon your return l will have it

And thus it was arranged.

is rather mixed, are numerous.

His ears were dull he heard no word was said;

And held his head erect, and sat upright
"Who called me" then he softly sighed and

GET THE BEST.
The Philadelphia Times,

The people generally get that which they make
a market for. They demanded better newspa-
pers and within the last few years journalism has
made rapid strides. The Times, which, from the
day of its first ISSUE took place in the front rank
of progressive journalism, has kept along at the
newspaper than ever. 1t is n journal that never
sleeps and never takes holiday. AS there are
9oo so mere are Are 90 issues OF lie rtneS In
four pages being in form suitable for the busy
man or the busy woman. The Sunday edition. Of
celany as well as all the news. The editorial
strength of The Times need not be dwelt upon
the fact that it is quoted more than any other
paper in America is sufficient evidence of its ex-
celence in that direction. Nor need the typo
graphical superiority be more than mentioned
for 1t is widely known as "the handsomest paper
in the country"

And taking picture of the widow from
his pocket, he embraced it most affection
ately.
So Dick remained another week, and did
London thoroughly On the day before he
was to have sailed for home he received an
other letter from his father saying:
"MY DEAR Boy: never was more pleas

To say that Dick was enraged would but
family describe his feelings; he fairly boiled.
He wrote Immediately to his father, telling
him:
"In the future your foreign business may
go to the d, and your home interests,
too"
Then, after drawing good sum of money,
he started for the continent.
For two years he wandered from place to
place, and at the end of that time found him.

an acquaintance he had made while in Lon
don, and who had since married, and was
then doing business in Paris.

introduced to an American young lady of
whom he become enamored at first sight.
