Stage Fright.
From the Boston Transcript.


Reading some article upon "stage
fright" and it's awful realities, two curl
Gus stories came into mind that had
formerly been related to me. During
the Harrison campaign, at a great po-
itical meeting at Faneuil Hall, a man
from Tennessee by the name Of Pear
pronounced Pare) had expressed de-
sire to speak. Accordingly in due time
he was called upon. Graciously rising,
and with apparent eagerness, he came
forward; holding up one finger to his
audience, he began thus:
"I-Pear-"
The assembled multitude patiently
waited through long pause for more,
but this was all! Pear had sat down. II
Pear had said nothing to the purpose, he
had said sufficient to make himself keen
ly remembered by every one who heard
him, and had in these brief remarks con-
vinced his hearers that he was something
of an egotist.
Another case is that of a gentleman
of one Of our large New-England towns.
Being much interested in phrenology
he proposed to give lecture upon the
subject. The time was announced, a
large audience assembled, and the
lecturer duly appeared. Upon a table
was placed cast of a head. Approach
ing this, and laying his hands affec-
tionately npon it, he began: "Ladies
and gentlemen-This head"- "a long,
long pause. Fixedly but infinitely hs
looked at his audience; SO many heads( J
overcame him. He retired and sat down,
while the people quietly and rather
solemnly dispersed. We need hardly
narrate that the gentleman left town
that evening, and was seen no more
there for an indefinite period.

Secret of Actor Irving's Success.

The success Of Irving grows as h
goes on in this country. The Boston
Transcript, of Monday, says: *'Thee x

Mr.. Irving's arrival in America makes
an epoch-a point of departure tn
history of our stage. The manager
must. be studying his enormous, hi
unprecedented success, aud preparing
to repeat the conditions which hav'
led to it. What are they? Let two o.
three representative facts about Mr.
Irving illustrate. He has brought his
entire company and paraphernalia
down to titled stove and doors tn al
latch with click like real doors, across
the ocean dragged them around thi
country in a freight train of thirty car
loads; he has kept young Londo1

Much Ado About Nothing;' he ha
spent the larger part of every day from II
o'clock in the morning to 4 in the after
noon, on the stage rehearsing Will
his company, and some of his oldcs
actors havo been known to be obliged
by him to go back and enter through ,
door upon the stage seven times ove1
before suiting Mr. Irving. All day wa
thus spent upon Louis XI., before its
last performance here. This work it il
that has made the Irving performance
remarkable; that has made not less of (

The Head Dress.

Happy the fortunate ones who have
preserved relics of antiquity in combs
of pale amber tortoise shell, the odd
Spanish comb of extreme size, either
plain, richly clouded shell, or exquisitel
y carved, generally accompanied with
side combs, are now worn with the high
couture. An immense comb of shell
carved in lilies, wheat sheaves and deli
cate foliage and stars is disinterred from
chest where it has lain for two or
three generations. Another of silver
gilt in coronet shape is set with ten large
sapphires. Side combs corresponding
with the large combs are set with Rhine
pebbles, cairngorm, false topaz, aqua
marine, or large gems. The Empress
Josephine couture is revived, consisting
of long graceful ostrich plume, laid
about the high knot.
For classical faces there are Greek
bandeaux of carved, filigree or plain
gold, set with pearls or precious stones.

Start the Celery.

The wisdom that crowned the mount
aims with pines and fringed the the
streams with willows is unerrimg All
plant life finds by natural selection it's
true home, and we may learn the whole
secret Of celery culture by studying its
surroundings in its native swamps and
marshes. It belongs to a family of
plants that grow along the water courses
and flourish in cool, moist situations,
and these conditions, if not natural to
the chosen site, must be artifcially
supplied for best success. I am con-
WINGED that fine celery can be raised in
almost any soil kept open by frequent
stirring. I have seen a marked i'm
provement in the celery offered in our
York markets since the publication of
my articles on the cultivation of celery
two years ago. Such specimens as were
exhibited by a few persons only at fairs,
are now connie and excite no comment.
Celery should he sown as early in the
season as the ground can be worked.
If snow and freezing weather follow, it
will do no harm Dig, break up, and
pulverize the soil thoroughly, add
light top dressing of SCOT, smooth the
surface evenly, and scatter the seed
thinly; giving plenty of room to make
good stock plants. Do not cover the
seed with earth, but press lightly into
the soil with board. Never allow the
soil to become dry after sowing, but
keep it moist by frequent waterings. If
there should be heavy winds, it is best
tie protect with light covering. If the
seed is slow to start do not be dis
couraged, but continue the waterings.
I have had it lie six weeks before ger
minating. OF course you will grow
none but the best varieties. The Dwarf
White Solid is preferred; I confess to
great partiality for the Sandringham
Dwarf. AS soon as the plants are an
inch high thin them. Keep the soil
open about them by frequent STRINGS,
and keep them constantly moist that
they may receive no check until the
time arrives for setting them out in the
trenches.-[Mrs. H. NJ. Order, York,
Penn.

Woman In the Garden.

We recommend to all women who are
fortunate enough to have piece of land
at their command to cultivate vege-
table garden. The culture of strawber-
ries, raspberries, blackberries, goose
berries, currants and golden vegetables
is as delightful and profitable as any
thing in which woman can engage.
She may sprinkle her garden we'll with
flowers. All the. better for that. A
SNOWFALL in this corner and a rose in
that, dahlia bed there and moss bor-
der here, will not be out of place. Only
let the substantial and useful constitute
the chief part. A touch Of the ornate,
like ribbon on good bonnet, is not in
the least Objectionable. In. all the
schools the girls study botany. It is
healthful, pleasing and useful. The
principles of horticulture are the prin-
ciples of botany put into practice. Farm
ers study agriculture; why should not
their wives and daughters study horti;
culture? The employment is both
healthful and pleasant. What woman
cannot raise beets, tomatoes, onions,
lettuce, and furnish her own table with
them? What woman cannot plant a
raspberry bush, or currant or goose
berry, and attend to it we'll. The ex:
pertinent is both pleasing and profitable

Farn Management.

No fixed rules can be laid down for
the management of farms. The soil Of
one township may be best fitted for
growing some kinds of grain, while the
adjoining ones can be most proftably
devoted to live stock. 30 two farms
situated side by side arc. exactly alike.
The distance from market, the demand
for special products, and, not the least,
the individual taste of the farmer, have
all much weight in determining the sys-
tenn of farm management that it is best
to adopt. Those who have given the
most thought to this subject are the
slowest to advise any general system to
be applied to every farm. 1t is like a
garment that is intended to fit all per-
sons and suit none. Every year of
progress made in agricultural knowledge
teaches more forcibly than previous
ones the truth that farmer must rely
much upon his own intelligence and
Judgment in working out the best sys-
tenn for his own farm. Even in so seem
ingly trifing matter as the pruning of
a grape vine, the wisest vineyardist can
only give general rules, and each grape
grower must adapt them to tho peculiar
tiles of each vine.-F armer and Dairy
man.

AN UNHAPPY PARHHT,

Five daughters-four of them engaged
I: I think shall go mad!
For such q surfeiting Of love
CNo parent ever had.
The atmosphere is charged
".'With it; no matter where
1go about the house, I trip
Upon some whispering pair.
At evening when take my pipe
And seek quiet nook
To sit and read my paper, or
Some new and tempting book,
lepe, perhaps the parlor door,
When a familiar sound,
Quite unmistakable, suggests
1t is forbidden ground
So then more, cautiously turn
h To our reception room;
' But 10! again upon my ear
From its romantic gloom
Comes softly, yet with emphasis,
That warning; when start
And leave as Lady Macbeth wished
Her guests would all depart.
My next resort is then the porch,
r.. Where roses trail and bloom;
Hs is it echo that bctrays
The joys Of yonder room?
All, no! d startled change OF base
/. Reveals the presence there
Of cupid's votaries, and alas!
There's still another pair.
'But sure,"I think, "my library
Will be safe retreat"
So there at once with quickened step
take my weary feet
Vain hope-that warning sound again
Breaks on my listening ear;
Thank heaven! my youngest hath not yet
Attained her thirteenth year.
Hark! there she is and bless my heart
That popinjay, young Lunn,
Is at her side-I do believe
That She, too, has begun.
Oh, ye who have to sit and dream
OF future married joys,
Pray heaven with highest fcrvor that
Your girls may all be boys.

Strawberries For Farmers.

From New YORK Tribune.
Any soil that will raise a first-rate
crop Of corn or potatoes will raise
good crop of Wilson strawberries. I
say Wilson because I have always been
successful with them, and only compar-
atively so with the best of others that I
have tried, while part Of them have
been almost entire failures, and many
of them very annoying and expensive
ones. Other things being equal, alight,
loamy soil, rather too damp than too
dry, is preferable. Still, no water
must be allowed to stand upon or near
the top of the ground. Hence the
necessity of draining. Manure heavily,
say at the rate of thirty or forty loads
to the acre, and plough it under. Com
mon stable or barnyard manure will
answer every purpose. The soil sholld
be made fine and mellow. We will
suppose this is all done in the spring,
about as soon as the ground is in first
rate condition for working. Now mark
off the ground in rows, say three and
half feet apart, and set the plants twelve
or fifteen inches apart in the rows, press
the earth firmly about the plants, and
if the weather is dry and hot, as it
sometimes is in early spring, put about
one pint of water about each one of them.
How large shall the bed be made :?
The method I am proposing should
yield at least one bushel Of fruit to every
square rod of ground. Hence each
family can Judge for itself of the area
of ground they need for this purpose.
After the plants are set there is large
vacant space between the rows that may
be utilized for other quick growing
crops that Will pay for the cultivation
of the plants for the first season. Early
peas or beans of the dwarf varieties,
lettuce, radishes, early beets, carrots or
the Jersey Wakefield cabbage may be
raised between the rows of plants with
out damage to them, provided they are
taken off in due time, the ground cult
waited, and put in good condition for
the young plants as they begin forming
runners. Let the runners form thick
green bed until they are a matted row
of say two feet wide. After this run
through with either the horse or the
hand cultivator, and destroy those in
truding upon what is left for the path
or alley between the rows. The Wilson
will almost always attempt to bear some
fruit the first season, but it will be much
better for the growth of the plants, as
we'll as for the next seasons crop, if
the blossoms are all picked off, and no
fruit allowed to grow the first season.
Keep the plants free from weeds and
grass through the entire season, and at
its close when the ground has frozen
sufficiently hard to bear, cover the
plants with some marsh hay, or straw
is equally good, provided it is not filed
with foul seeds to annoy you the follow
ing seaion Put % cover sufficient To

Stonaachs Differ,

Two head of cattle of the same age
standing side by side may eat alike, but
it does not follow that they digest alike.
The difference in this respect should be
carefully noticed, and the animals be
fed accordingly-each getting more or
less than the other according to its
ability to digest its food. The differ
ence in digestion may be detected by
the condition of the excrement as well
as by the general appearance of the ami
NAL. A looseness Of. the bowels indi-
Gates too much food, although it may
exist from other causes. Cold horns
and light skin show that the animal
does not get food enough or has poor
digestion, which makes feeble circula-
