WISE WORDS.

To rule ones anger is well; to prevent
it is better.
When prayers are strongest, mercies
are nearest
Censure is the tax a man pays for be-
ing eminent.
Discomfort is the want of self-reliance;
it is the infrmity of will.
Confront improper conduct, not by re-
taliation, but by example.
Repentance without amendment is like
continually pumping without mending
the leak.
The history of all the world tells us
that immoral means will ever intercept
good ends.
The claims of habit are generally too
small to be felt until they are too strong
to be broken.
The greatest pleasures often originate
in pain, and the worst pains often spring
out of pleasures.
We blame fortune for not visiting us,
whereas in many cases the fault lies at
our own door in doing nothing to invite
her in.
A mans desires always disappoint him;
for though he meets with something that
gives him satisfaction, yet it never thor
oughly answers his expectations,
True good-breeding is nothing more
than the practice of the common pripei-
piles of humanity and good nature, ex-
tended to all the concerns Of common
life.
Without women man would be rude,
unpublished, solitary; he would be d
stranger to grace, which is no ether than
the smile of love, Woman suspends
around him the smiles of life, like the
honeysuckles of the forest which adorn
the trunks of the oak with their per-
fumed garlards.

The Organ Grinders Profits.

You sympathetic ladies who send
nickels and silver pieces by servant to
the poor organ grinder who stands at
your door, or who throw down to him
from an upper window pennies wrapped in
thick writing paper, may like to know
how much the man gets in the course of
the day, and what he does with his
money. For the latter he does not spend
more than seventh part of it. He puts
it in bag and then in a long, low chest
in his room. to save till he has enough to
go back to Southern Italy and live at his
ease. More often he joins every night a
select club of fellow countrymen, who
stack up their organs at the end of the
room, and gamble, gamble the pennies
away in long and delicious excitement.
How much, think you, does he earn I?
More than carpenter, or abricklayer, or
policeman, or postman, or a
salesman in store, who wears gloves
and silk hat. He averages 81 a day.
He labors Systematically, and has his
regular beat, and his varied art to ex-
tract the penny from persons of each
class he plays before. As he expressed
it himself in moment of rare expansive
ness, he "plays on 200 blocks every day,
and it's poor block that does not give
two cents "--B0St0n Courier.

Farm and Garden Notes.

When large limbs are cut from trees dress
the wounds with tar.
Give each mich COW tablespoonful of
fine ground bone every week.
Frozen roots are injurious to stock if
fed in any quantity, often resulting in Sc
we're securing and consequent loss of CON
dition.
A very beautiful effect is produced on
lawns in winter by grouping white birches
as well as dark evergreens. If the winter
is open the birches brighten the place.
Mr.. Whitney, of Michigan, burns coal
tar under his plum trees every two days
from the time the plums are as large as
peas until they are too hard to sting. He
raises the wild goose plum.
Two fields, lying side by side, were
aown in wheat. One was plowed and
narrowed the usual way, while the other
was narrowed five times. The result
was that the latter gave seven bushels
more to the acre than the former.
Reports of an experiment made by the
State agricultural college, of Michigan,
on their farm with sowing land plaster
on grass, claim that two bushels of
plaster produced over two-thirds as much
increase as twenty loads Of horse manure.
When cows are obliged to live on hay
they have stronger desire for water
than if fed on other kinds of fodder.
See that they have access to it at all
times. 1t will pay to give the mich cows
pailful of water at noon in which u
quart of bran has been stirred. A lack
of water will quickly cause shrinkage
in milk as well as an actual loss of flesh
Discretion must be used in feeding car
rots to horses. They may be safely fed
in large quantities to old horses, and will
prove an excellent tonic, strengthening
and purifying the blood. If fed too
freely to young horses they will become
nervous, irritable and vicious.

Careful attention TO feed and exercise

Grading Grim for Seed.

The Importance of sowing only the
large, plump gtains of sowed crops is
not fully understood. They are gen.
orally sown much too thickly, and the
inferior seeds produce plants that only
crowd the others and do not amount to
anything, If the farmer has prepared
to sow two and one-half bushels of oats
or barley per acre, he will find it to his
advantage TO take out one-half bushel,
or possibly bushel of the smaller grains,
and SOW the remainder with light
dressing of some commercial fertilizer
The grain will spread by tilling, and
will produce not only larger heads, but
a plumper berry than where the plants
when young crowd each other.

Oats for Poultry.

Probably few, If any OF our readers
have ever tried the experiment of feed
ing oats to breeding poultry in large
quantities-say three-fourths of all the
grain they are given. A fancier who has
done this-and, he says, with economy
and success Assures us that oats MY be
used IN this, way to very Great advantage
as daily Food for breeding birds the
year round, and especially to the large
Asiatic varieties that are predisposed to
put on an excess of internal fat when
fed in the ordinary way But we would
recommend that the oats be good and
sound, and first class in quality, other
wise they will not do as a constant food.
Give the birds light meal in the morn
ing of cooked food or scalded mash,
meal and vegetables; at noon a full feed
of oats; at night another feed of oats
and corn, about one-fourth the latter. As
the winter progresses increase the feed of
grain, but at no time give the birds more
than they will eat up clean. In this way
the food will digest well. the birds
never become cloyed, and their appetites
are always good. Aside from tho good
condition of the birds they will pay in
eggs during the winter more than the
cost and extra attention. The cooked
food should not be given too hot, and
should be limited in quantity. COlman's

" Liberty Enlightening the World"

According to the design of M. Barthol-
di, the French eminent sculptor, tina
colossal statue, representing the figure of
Liberty Enlightening the World"
crowned with stars, and holding in her
uplifted hand a torch which diffuses
broad rays of light, will be $50 feet high.
The foundation of the pedestal, upon
which seventy men are at work in New
York harbor, will rise IS feet above low
water mark. The pedestal itself, which
is to be constructed of granite, will be
40 feet square at the base, and ia high.
The entire elevation will thus make an
imposing object, higher than any of the
colossal statues of antiquity. The Colos-
sus of Rhodes would appear as pigmy
beside it, 1t will be higher, in fact, than
the enormous towers of Brooklyn bridge,
and as lofty as the steeple of Trinity
church. AS for the statue, it has been
completed and is composed of beaten
copper Two sets could dance quadrille
inside of the head. This new wonder of
the world, which is to be the gift of the
French to the Americans, now only awaits
a fitting pedestal upon which to rest.
This the American people are expected to
supply and to take national pride in SO
doing. The cost of the statue to the
French was 1850, 900 francs; the est
mated cost of the pedestal and its base is
$3.50, 000:-O hScdq0 Ne9oS.

The Bloodhound.

When Cortez and his army were resting
from their labors after the seige and de-
struction of Mexico, having heard many
accounts of certain king of a neighbor-
ing country called Michoacan, to the west
of Mexico, which king was a hereditary
enemy of Montezuma, the great captain
resolved to send an exploring expedition
there, to ascertain if the accounts he had
heard of the greatness Of the monarch and
the richness of his country were true. To
this end he made choice of soldier OF
fortune named Montana, man of some
education, for he wrote an account of his
journey; and to him he gave as colleagues
one Penalosa and two others, all ''men of
discretion and valor." Penalosa owed
this distinction to his being the owner OF
a very celebrated dog who had not his
equal in New Spain. $50 big and coura-
geous was he," says the annalist, "and
so dexterous in war; and so much dreaded
by the Indians that when let loose,
although there might be thousand
Indians in front Of him, they dared not
stand up before him." His tactics-werc
simple, but effectuaI. He rushed at the
nearest Indian, knocking him down by
his weight and the impetus of his attack,
turning with amazing swiftness to an
other, till he had left dozen or twenty
men on the ground, whom the Spaniards
would then dispatch with their spears.
BY this time the front rank of the enemy
had generally retired to a distance; so
the dog would turn round to see if those
whom he had thrown down were motion.
less Those. who lay quiet, either para
lyzed with dread or already dispatched
by his two-legged comrades, he took no
notice of, but the faintest sign of life was
a signal for him to rush upon them and
tear their Threats to pieces with his pow
erful jaws. These men being disposed of,
he would go in search Of fresh victims
until tired out or until there were no
more to tear Tile CorahiU Aagazine.

The Oldest Republic.

According to the London correspond
ent of the Manchester Guardian the lit
tie State of San Marine, just thirty miles
in circumference, the oldest government in
Europe and the oldest republic in the
world, proposes to enter into diplomatic
relations with England. San Marine,
situated in the midst of the Papal States,
has been entirely Independent since, in
the fourteenth century, it refused to pay
certain taxes to the pope. 1t was already
self-governing community, the sover
eighty being exercised by the whole
population. But in the fourteenth cen
fury this absolute form of democracy was
replaced by sort of oligarchy, power
being vested in a council of sixty life
members elected from all classes of the
population. Five centuries later, in 1S47,
it was decided that the council of sixty
should appoint annually committee of
twelve, who still form the supreme
ju iicial court. Secretaries of home and
foreign affairs and receiver general of
finance were also appointed San Marino

government has often given proof Of
courage; and, on one occasion, when
Garibaldi had sought refuge within the
boundaries of the brave little republic, it

threats of invasion. 1t may be further
mentioned in honor of San Marine that,
unlike another notorious little Italian
State (Monaco)it does not tolerate public
gambling.

that they would be hollow; and they
would practically last until they rusted

trains could run faster without increasing

Paper For Cleaning Spectacles.

glasses with silk handkerchiefs, are per-

how fine the silk may be, it will not leave
the surfaces of the glass so well polished
as the paper will If pains are taken to
lightly brush off any particles of gritty
dust that may be on the glasses before
rubbing them, the paper will never injure
their surfaces with the slightest scratch.
Dampen the glasses with vapor or water,
or, when possible, with the breath, and
the paper will absorb all the moisture and

Ekeepiis- SoUaSjaes,

Many farmers are at a loss to know how
some are successful in keeping their
squashes in good condition until May or
June, while they lose the most of theirs
before the end of February. They
usually attribute their want of success to
causes beyond their control, when a care
full investigation would show that mis-
management was the principal cause
Squashes to keen we'll must-first, be
well ripened; second, they should be
gathered before heavy frosts come; third,
should be well dried; fourth, the shell
should be well glazed over, and, while it
need not be thick, it should be hard :;
fifth, they should be kept where the
temperature is very even, never very cold
or very hot; sixth, in handling great
care should be taken not to bruise them {;
this is of the highest importance Many
farmers leave the squashes out until the
frost kills the vines; the squashes are
thus left exposed to the cold winds, and
they are frequently left until it is cold
enough to freeze water and change the
color of the tops of the squashes. This is
fatal to their good keeping. Others, when
they find that cold weather has come,
hurry them in just as night sets in, and
in their haste to get them under cover
they load them into the wagon as though
they were stones, thus bruising nine out
of every ten to a degree that causes them
to rot by Thanksgiving time. Squashes
are often stored in the barn in one heap
until they get chilled, when they are car
ried into warm damp cellar, where they
soon rot, and the owner is at a loss to
know the reason. When storel in heaps,
if the storehouse be dry the under
squashes will send out moisture in such
quantities as to keep the whole heap sur
rounded by moisture, Squashes, to keep
WELL should not only be kept in a dry
atmosphere with very even tempera-
ture, but they should be spread on the
floor or on shelves, so that the air can
readily pass between them. All of the
soft shell and unripe squashes should be
disposed of as soon as possible after they
are harvested, and only'the hard shell
and perfectly ripe squashes should bekept
for winter. Crookneck squashes keep
best with most people; the reason proba-
bly, is they are ripe and handled with
care and are usually hung up in dry
place. The same treatment of marrow
squashes would no doubt secure very
satisfactory results. South and West.
