Children and Wine.
ELSIE HAVEN.

A panpered child of fortune comes roll
ing home in the small hours of the morning
Enthusiastically drunk. The mother, almost
heart-broken, inveighs bitterly against some
one who has led her idolized son astray.
The promises he makes at her solicitations
are soon forgotten, and ere the world is
many suns older he is taken home gain in
the same condition, this time more caMous
TO mothers tears and fdtner's stern COM
mands. This gradually becomes common
occurrence, and Dame Rumor begins to
talk: $50 and so has become confirmed
drunkard. l cannot imagine whom he gets
it from. His father does not drink to ex-
CESS"
The mother wonders from whom he in
herits this terrible appetite. Mother, this
sorrow that is silvering your once beautiful
hair, and ploughing furrows of care on YOU
face, was bred at your own table, and aC
the tables of the most honorable members
of the charmed circle" From childhood
your boy has been accustomed to see wines
from the finest vintages in the world on
your own table, and you drinking the spark
ling beverage with evident enjoyment.
Child-like he asks for some. You give him
just little sip. The habit grows stronger,
until now many glasses are required to
quench the feverish thirst that possesses
him.
This fashion of having wine on the table
has been the ruin of many a noble boy who
to day might stand high in the estimation
of a fastidious world. "But - you say,
''society demands it and we cannot be odd.
| We must conform to the rules society lays
down. A dinner without wine would be
failure" Aye, society demands it, and at
the same time your sons honor pays the
price of yOur COmDliance.
my son is above such degrading habits
as excessive drink you say with conscious
pride in voice and face. 'Only the children
of the vulgar get drunk. My child belongs
to one of the finest families of the country,
and is above that"
You sweep away and the next moment
you are drinking glass of sparkling wine
and thinking, ''How foolish these ill-omen-
ed croakers are. How can there be harm
in such nice drink"
Satan's most evil deeds are clothed in the
most guileless manner, and so it is with
this. A glass of rare old wine will make
more drunkards than hundred glasses of
whisky, from the simple fact that wine is
in constant use in the best of families,
while the very idea of whisky is secuted
and consigned to the lower ranks of society.
Fathers and mothers, if you love your
children, and wish for their welfare and
peace, both in this world and the next,
Danish wine from your table. Teach the
little ones the evil effects of the wine cup,
and the dangers of appetite.
Throw the demands of society to the
winds and in after years you will have your
reward in the virtues of your sons and
daughters.S

Care of Fruit Trees.
By Our Agricultural Editor.

By Our Agricultural Editor.
The farmer or orchardist, who is grow
ing fruit trees for profit, m:st be on the
lookout at all seasons to render them a ser
vice. As to pruning at this or any other
season, the best rule is, cut as little as pos
sible consistent with freedom of growth,
OF course limbs should not be allowed to
cross and aBrade each other, aud the tree
top should be open enough to admit air and
sunlight to pass readily enough for the
branches to sway to and fro in a wind with
out woupding. After this much is gained
it is best to stop cutting. Symmetry is of
less Importance than fruit. -
| The owner should inspect his orchard
monthly, not only as to pruning, but as to
the general health and condition of the
trees. No branch that should be cut away
| should be allowed to attain much size. A
| small wound is easier and sooner to heal
than large one, and a small branch cut off
in summer, soon heals without leaving q
dry scar to rot. aud weaken the tree. The
color the foliage should be noticed. If of
a bright, healthy Looking green, all right,
but if turning yellow and leaves falling,
something is wrong, and the cause should
be found out at once. First remove some
of the soil and examine the crown of the
roots. If you see signs of insects, borers,
aphides &C., that is the cause. Destroy all
you can, and then douse with boiling water,
alter which put about peck of ashes
around each tree-less for small trees. If
you find insects on the foliage, dust the
tree with lime or plaster. If the tree is
larger, puse a short ladder, and get up
among the branches and scatter the lime by
hand all through the top. 1t will not be
lost, for what escapes the tree will lodge
upon the ground and help fertilize it and
the tree. s-,
Fruit trees should be. induced to make
moderate growth every season, but not too
much. Some fertilizer, as ashes or chip
dirt, should be spread around under the
trees and once every year, enough to keep
the tree growing a little. Scrapings from a
blacksmith's shop, and scraps of old iron,
are said to be excellent to put around pear
trees to prevent blight. But if an orchard
Is cultivated in some we'll manured crop, as
sweet or Irish potatoes, and special fertiliz-
ing OF the trees will hardly be necessary.
Young trees, and all in any danger from
being affected by drought, are much bene-
dirt or scrapings from an old field or oak
woods spread upon the branches extended.
1t is best to apply this after a rain occurs.
The soil may be made wet by throwing
water around, after which apply the mulch.
The use of it is to keep the soil moist and
cool. If it is found that the insects collect
under the litter, stir it up occasionally, and
scatter little salt about. 1t is a good time
to wash the bodies of the trees with a solu-
tion of soft soap or whale oil soap, ashes,
and water. Do not use strong lye. A little
sulphur mixed in will render it more obnox-
ious to the insects. Appeal.

Sc, 900 each of common stock and preferred

thereon from Fisher $6, 600 in cash.

ceive all the bonds he was entitled to under
the arrangement except $36, 900, which had
not at that time been delivered, and that he

| The man question is, Did Mr.. Blaine tel
the truth when he said that the compan,
derived its value wholly from the State o
Arkansas, and that he came into possession

people did, and that he had no reason to be

Mr. Blaine's Veracity.
New York Evening Post (Rep.)

New York Evening Post (Rep.)
| That it is important to the people of the
United States that their President should
be man whose word must be believed,
whether under oath or not, will be general
ly conceded. 1t has been shown that Mr..
Blaine made two misstatements respecting
the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad
| affair as to the bottom facts" concerning
which he could not possibly have been mis-
taken. He declared in the first place that
the railroad derived its value exclusively
from the State of Arkansas and not at all
from Congress. He declared also that he
bought his bonds for the same price that
other people paid, and that the company had
not, SO far as he knew, ever disposed of
single bond except on terms open to every
investor alike.
| 1t was proved that the company derived
its value from the extension of land grant
by Congress which Mr.. Blaine himself had
saved by an opportune ruling in the Speak
er's chair. 1t was proved also that he did
not buy the bonds in the same way that
other people bought; that he did not buy
them at all, but received them as gratuity
or commission to the amount of more than
| 100000, besides $15 150 in money. This
was shown by memorandum book in his
own handwriting, in the words and figures
