There are too many farms that
are run down simply because they
are not sufficiently fertilized; more
is taken off than is returned to the
soil. The remedy is, keep more
stock! Prevent waste of manurial
elements from stable and yard?
Some prefer to have all the manure
thrown from the stables put under
cover, it all being made in the sta
bles because the stock are turned
into the yard only long enough to
drink, or for short time at mid
day. Others find better results in
throwing out plenty OF straw, corn
stalks, leaves, etc, into the yard,
and composing with muck, if the
latter is attainable. The yard
should be as nearly level as posi-
BILE to prevent washing away of
the really most important constitu-

thou canst not escape the reward
whether thy work be fine or coarse,

manner of collecting and assessing
taxes have been made by the legis-

counties can levy only three-fourths
the amount of taxes levied by the

important one that will assess on

RObinsOn's Half Brother Puts HIS Neck
IN the NOOse.-At Middietown, on Sun
day Constable Craddock arrested John
Robinson, alias Cain, charged with
felOniously assaulting a fOurteen-year-
old daughter of George johnson, color
ed, who lives in tenement house on
John T. Hayes farm, near Middle
town. The crime was committed on
Thursday evening last, but on account
of the absence Of the father the affair
was kept quiet. Cain in the mean
time had left the premises, and did not
return until Saturday last. Johnson's
wife, Amanda, says if she had been two
minutes later going up stairs her
daughter would have died from suffO-
cation, as Robinson had jammed
great lot of rags in the victims mouth
to prevent her making an Outcry, be-
sides which he had severely chOked
her. The mother says as she assembled
the stairs Cain jumped up and started
to run down.
Cain was taken before Justice Veasey
Monday morning for a hearing and
when asked "Are you guilty of the
crime upon which you are charged ?"
he replied in a firm tone "Yes, sir"
He afterwards signed his name to a
written confession of the crime.
The girl is small for her age and said
to be very delicate.
The prisoner is a heavy built fellow,
black as coal, with an evil eye hidded
beneath his slouch hat. In the magis-
trates' Office he was questioned, after
the hearing, and he said that Charles
Robinson, now on trial in Wilmington
for like crime is halfbrother. Cain
says that his and Charles mother are
the same, but he does not know how it
is that his name is Cain and the others
Robinson. He was among a number of
negroes who ran away from Millington,
Md, last year hOtly pursued by officers.
The charge against them at that time
was alleged whisky selling. He also
remembers when Robinson attempted
to assault a girl near Church Hill, Md.
The negro evidently does not realize
his situation. The colored men are
delighted over his arrest.
Cain was taken to Jail on Monday

LippincOtt's Magazine.
A Popular Monthly of General
Literature.

With the issue of January, 1885, important
changes will be made in the literary character
and typographical appearance of LtpptncOnS
MdgdziHe, which, while more than maintaining
the former standards of excellence will il is eX-
pected, materially increase its popularity and
widen its sphere of usefulness The distinctive
features of LippiHcOtfS for the coming year will
be as follows:
1t will be a live periodical, interesting itself in
all the current topics of the day, literary artistic
political, and social and enlisting in their dis
cussiOn the ablest pens in England and America.
A fair hearing will be accorded to all sides of
controversy, though the magazine will strictly
preserve its own neutrality.
1t will be especially strong in fiction. A new
novel, entitled Hope" by W. E. Norris, author
of q" MatrimOny," No New Thing" etc, who is
perhaps the cleverest of the rising authors Of
England, will run through the year. accOmpan-
led by brilliant serial, dealing with the literary
and dramatic life of New York City, from the
pen of a writer who prefers to keep his name a
secret, but whose every touch reveals an intimate
acouaintance with the scenes which he describes.
II will be rich in short stories, poems, and
sketches.
BY special arrangement it will be the authori-
zed medium through which the latest utterances
of the most eminent transatlantic writers will
reach the American public simultaneously with
their appearing abroad.
Il will number among its American contribu-
tors such writers as Gail Hamilton, Julian Haw-
thOrne Harriet Prescott SpOfford, John Bach Nc
Master ~. S. of Dale" J. Brander Matthews, etc.
It will be the cheapest iirst-class magazine
issued in America. Recognizing the needs of the
time for good literature at moderate prices, the
publishers have decided to lower the subscrip-
ton price, commencing with the new volume, to
a sum that will place Lippfnc0ts Magazine with
in the reach of all.

We often hear people say when they are
commencing a new occupation that they
hardly know how to begin, and it is eSpeCl-
ally the case with writer's and speakers that
they are puzzled for a moment to decide
which is the best way to make a start. But
after all there is a difficulty the mastery
over which is perhaps more important, and
that is to know "When to leave off" An
old philosopher used to say, LET us leave
things before they leave U.S." and there Is
much wisdom in the maxim. At the
Church Congress a few years ago the Blsh-
OF of Peterborough mentioned that the APP
pointed speakers would be allowed only
fifteen minutes to address the meeting, and
the unapp0inted speakers only ten minutes,
and that in every case a bell would tinkle
two minutes before the time was up, III or
der to remind the speaker to find fitting
words for the close or per0ratiOn OfhiS adj
dress. To give point to this announcement
the Right Rev. President said, When Il
distinguished statesman was about to enter
Parliament, an old and wise friend said to
him, EJOhn'-I leave you to guess who the
statesman WaS-'JOhn, thou art gong INTO
Parliament, and thou wilt doubtless become
a great man. but take this bit OF advice
there with thee:-Always have the end OF
thy speech ready for, thou wilt never know
the moment thou maySt Wantlt.'" This is
Il capital StOry-and perhaps some OF our
readers can guess who the "JOhn" was
but it has a very wide application. Always
nave a definite end in view, and work up to
it as closely as possible, for you never know
when you may have to leave off, or when
it may be wise to say or to do no more. The
speaker who talks a subject thread bare
will find few people to listen to him, and
we have all heard of people who ride even
Il "hObby" to death.
