A Cause for Suicide.
paper

"I believe there can be no doubt that Bettini is insane" said MT. De Casali, the editor of the Italian paper in New York city, speaking of the young Italian officer who shot himself. "He gave mo ten dollars for the new Italian hospital, and insisted on paying his subscription to my paper, although told him it had yet two months to run."
 "You regard the fact, then, that he wanted to pay his subscription in advance as striking evidence of insanity ?" sug- gested the reporter.
 "Well, it isn't often done," responded MT. De Casal, soberly.
 In other quarters it is asserted that Bettini was almost penniless, the funds which he brought with him from Italy being exhausted, and the prospect of his being able to get more not being bright. It is said that Miss Aver, who he tried so hard to marry, is worth in her own right $12, ,OO0, ,000.

The Orchard and Nursery.

First, last, and all the time, the or chardist must keep up his fight with in- sects. Success in fruit-growing so largeN ly depends upon the destruction of in- sects, that we feel it 8 duty. to keep this subject prominently before our readers.
 THE COOLING MOTH OR APPLE WORM. Heretofore it has been supposed that destroying the fallen fruit, and trapping, by means of cloths around the trunks, the worms which left the apples remain ing upon the tree, were the only helps The moth, soon after the fruit sets, lays her egg upon the calyx end of the young apple. The young grub, as soon as matched, eats its way into the center of the little apple, and there, "growing with its growth, works its mischief
 POISONING THE WORM by some Western orchardists show that Paris green may be successfully used to destroy the apple worm. Soon after the young fruit is set, the whole orchard is showered with water, ill which small quantity of Paris green is stirred, in the proportion of 8 tablespoonful to a barrel of water. The liquid should be thrown in fine spray, in order to wet every young apple. In it's early state, the young fruit is erect, its calyx upward, and the least particle of poisoned water falling upon it is sufficient to dispose of the young apple-worm when it attempts to eat into the fruit.
 Is IT NOT DANGEROUS it will be asked We do not regard the process as at all risky. Assuming that all the poison that fell upon the young fruit could re- main until that was ripe, there would be but little danger; but as the rains of months will fall upon the fruit, there is no danger to be feared. ruit-growers look upon this method of treating the apple-worm as discovery of great value. 1 THINNING is the most important work of the present month. While it is abroad regarded as part of the regular orchard work, it has been but little practiced here. Those who have doubts as to its value, should thin the fruit upon single row of trees, and keep an account of the market returns. If two-thirds of the fruit upon apple, pear, or peach trees be removed soon after it is set, there vii then, in ordinary seasons, be too mucl left to mature.
 PRUNINa.--Many prefer to prune a this season, as wounds heal readily. II pruning do not cut away branch with
 out definite object in view.
 YOUNG TREES planted this spring
 should be watched, and their form reg
 ulated by pinching the shoots that pusl
 too vigorously, and by breaking off tn
 shoots which start where branches ar not needed. A little care given to tree while young will make later prrlnin unnecessary.
 SLues, as the green, slimy caterpille1 i are called which appear upon the leave :, of pear and cherry trees, are best treate by dusting of dry slaked lime. Tn may be applied by shaking it from 8 ba

Of their parting. In the play their fare
we'll takes place in the street. Isabella,
anxious to see her husband once more be-
fore they part forever, waits at point
which she kno ws he must pass on his way
to prison. There they meet and talk
together for the last time on earth. The
words that Shakespeare puts in their
mouths are terribly sad, but very beau
tiful. You will find the scene at the
beginning of Act V. of the play. The
picture shows the two at the moment
when Richard moves away to his prison,
leaving Isabella to mourn for him in
nunnery for the rest of her life.
It is not certainly known what became
of Richard after he was taken to prison.
It is believed that he was murdered there
perhaps starved to death-but there is
a story that he got away and lived in
Scotland, dying there in 1419. 1t is not
at all likely that the story is true, how
ever, and the common belief has always
been that he died or was killed in Ponte-
tract castle, where he was imprisoned.
However that may be, Richards life
was a terribly unhappy one, and all his
sorrows grew out of the fact that he was
a king. If he could have looked forward
on that July day, when the people were
making merry in his honor, and could
have known all that was to happen to
him, instead of being the happiest boy in
England on his coronation day, he would
have been the most wretched.-Harper's
Young People.

Not Trustworthy.

One afternoon a gentleman was shown
into Mr.. Lamar's library.
"Mr. Lamar" asked the visitor, I" do
you know lad by the name of Gregory
Bassett ?"
"I guess So" replied Mr.. Lamar, with
a smile. "That is the young man." he
added, nodding toward Gregory.

of his glasses. "He applied for clerk

His letter of application shows that he is

"Rapid and correct was the reply.
"That's good Honest, is he :"
ooh yes," answered Mr.. Lamar.
"The work is not hard, and he will be
rapidly promoted, should he deserve it.
Oh one question more, MIR. Lamar; is

grave reply.
"Eh 2" cried the visitor. "Then 1

He had set his heart upon obtaining
the situation, and was very much disap-

"Gregory, 1 could not deceive the gen.

more regretful than stern. "You are not

About Boys.

Some one has said that every boy is, by
nature, a little barbarian. Surprising it
to be true, the difference between the ill
bred and the well-bred boy is so notice
able that we must conclude that he
is quite capable, at least, of becoming
civilized.
Not long ago accepted an invitation
to visit an old schoolmate who had five
boys, whose ages ranged from four to
fourteen. They were bright, wide-awake
and thoroughly boyish, but l was i'm
pressed at once with well bred air about
them which made them very agreeable.
Of course they piled me questions from
morning till night, and wearied me some
times with their noise; for how could five
boys exist and be quiet? But they were
never rude or disrespectful, and the very
youngest, if he CHANGED to jostle my chair
in his play, or stepped upon my dress,
would say, Excuse me, aunty,' as
naturally as the older ones. If they
rushed into the house to make some re-
quest of their mother, their hats came off
as if by instinct, and they were never
caught saying "yes or emo or "what !"
to those older than themselves. watched
them at their meals, where good manners
are pretty severely tested, even in grown
people, and 1 found that there, as else
where, few things were pleasantly but
firmly insisted upon. Each one was
taught to carry his food TO his mouth with
a fork or spoon, and not one left the table
without asking to be excused, or thought
of asking till his knife and fork were
placed upon his plate and napkin folded.
Two boys were walking home from
school one day, when they met lady who
bowed pleasantly to one of them.
"Who was that lady ?" inquired the
other boy.
"Oh that was my mother" was the
reply.
"Well think you're funny boy not
to take off your hat to your MOTHER" ex
claimed the first speaker.
Funny or not, it indicated the differ
ence in the training of the two lads.
Especially do we want to guard against
making the boys feel uncomfortable a
home. The family sitting-room, with it
} warm fire, CHEEKY light and ample table
around which they can gather with thei
books and games during the long white
evenings should be to them the mos
attractive place in the world. Here will
t be found many an opportunity to teacl
: them to be polite and kind to each Other

II you could help me to see)

But they drove me out with the broomstck,

Between meals, I'd like to Know?
And that rats and mice cannot always be found :?
I've sat for an hour or 40

And not even mouse came to views
And found after waiting and waiting,

About kit, and a bag, and the pond.
