as is practiced near Lyons, where it is
st. John on the common walnut. the
fruit is rendered finer and the crop more
certain. Black wanuts thus grated be-
gin to bear the fifth year. On estates
where no black walnuts exist the detici-
ency may be supplied by planting the
nuts and grating the young stocks when
they come to the height of eight or ten
feet.
1t should be observed, that in the wal
nut, more than in any other tree, it is
necessary, ON account of the loose text
ure of the wood and the large volume of
the pith, to protect the amputated limbs
from the weather. \ covering of clay
should be so nicely adapted to the eX-
posed surface as to entirely exclude the
rain: otherwise, decay will commence
and spread itself into the body of the
tree.
In those parts of France. Belgium and
Germany, where the walnut is not cult
waited for commerce. the trees have gen
orally sprung from the seed. which is the
cause of the inferiority of the fruit. For
it is observed that. with few accidental
exceptions. the finest fruits and flowers
degenerate in reproduction. This incon-
venience would be experienced in the
United States and. as there do not per-
haps exist in that country. south of the
Hudson river, ten European walnut trees,
| should recommend the importation
from Bordeaux of young grated trees,
which will soon furnish the means to
such proprietors as wish to enrich their
estates with this useful and magnificent
tree.

NOBODY'S CHILD.

Only ncwsboY, under the light
OF the lamp.post plying his trade in vain;
Men are too busy to stop tonight,
Hurying home through the sleet and rain,
Never since dark paper sold;
Where shall he sleep, or how he fed?
He thinks as he shivers there in the cold,
While happy children are safe abed.
Is il strange if he turns about
With angry words, then comes to blows,
When his little neighbor, just sold out,
Tossing his pennies, past him goes?
"Stop!"-some one looks at him, sweet and
mild,
And voice that speaks is tender one;
'You should not strike such little child,
And you should notuse such words, my ~
Is ii his anger or his fears
That have hushed his voice and stopped his
arm?
Don't tremble, these are the words he hears
"Do you think would do you harm;"
at isn't that" and the hand drops down;

But nobody ever called me son,
Because I'm nobody's child s'pose."

Remember the love that has cared TOR you;
And blush TOR the awful shame and wrong

Think what the child at your knee had been
If thus on LIES lonely pillows tossed;
And who shall bear the weight of the sin,
If one of these "littlc ones" be lost!

first. And his Uncle Ben took him down
to the creek and taught him how to wash
and shear sheep. And when the even

school, and got home the first hour after
midnight, and Uncle Ben marveled that
it was so early. And he lighted his pipe
and sat up for an hour and told Mustapha
all about the forty acres he bought last
spring of old Mosey Stringer to finish
out that north half, and about the new
colt that was foaled last spring. And
when MuStapha went to bed that morn
ing he hethought him of dose of strych-
nine he had with him, and he said his
prayers YEARLY, and he took it. But the
youngest boy was restless that night,
and kicked all the poison out of him in

out and taught him how to dig ditch.
And when evening was come there was Il
revival meeting at Ebenezer Methodist
church. and they all went. And there
were three regular preachers and two eX-
horters and a Baptist evangelist. And
when midnight was come they went
home and sat up and talked over the
meeting until it was bed time.
Now, when Mustapha was at home he
left his desk at the fifth hour in the af-
ternoon, and he went to bed at the third
hour after sunset, and he rose not until
the sun was high in the heavens. So the
next day when his Uncle Ben would take
him out into the field, and show him how
to make post and rail fence, Mustapha
would swear at him and smote him with
an aX-helve, and fled, and got himself
home. And Mustapha sent for his phys
ician and cursed him. And he said he
was tired to death; he turned his face to
the wall. and died. So Mustapha was
gathered to his fathers. And his phys
ician and his friends mourned and said,
"Alas he did not rest soon enough. He
tarried at his desk too long" But his
Uncle Ben, who came in to attend the fu-
neral and had to do all his weeping out
of one eye, because the other was BACKED
half way down to his chin, said it was a
pity, but Mustapha had no get up about
him. But Mustapha wist not what they
said, because he was dead. SO they di-
vided his property among them and said
if he wanted a tombstone he might have
attended to it himself while he was yet
alive, because they had no time.

THE ARMIES OF EUROPE -.

SINCE the year 1874. the six great ma
tons of Europe have immensely in
creased their armies ana the expenses for
maintaining them. England's outlay
now amounts to four millions of pounds.
or twenty millions of dollars, more per
year than it was at that time. Italy :
army and navy expenditure has in
creased from nine millions of pounds to
almost 10 in the same period. and that of
Russia has risen from about 20 millions
in 1850 to 33 millions last wear. Since
the Franco-German war France has i'll
creased her expenditure on this account
to 30 ID millions, which is nearly double
what it was before the war: while Ger
many now spends 20 millions. or about
three millions more than previous to
1850. These are the figures given by
Alfred Russell Wallace. the distinguished
English scientist, who. in a recent essay
on the bad Times that have now pre-
vailed in Europe for 10 years past, argues
that they are occasioned by this enor-
nous increase in war expenditure. From
f345, 200, 900 in 1870, the expenditure of
these six nations has risen to fGl2 .0OO.-
600, an increase of f276.000. 900, or lust
about five dollars per head. or % dollars
per family for the entire population of
those countries. This must all be raised
by taxing the people for it.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS,

side was doubtless engaged in his first
effort. and this fact, together with a
slight impeachment of speech and Il most

to produce one of the funniest and most
unanswerable speeches that had ever
heard. Here it is, almost in full:

hadn't c-c-created Eve, there never would
have been all the s-s-sin there is now in
this w-world. If He hadn't made Eve.
she never would have p-p-picked the
apple and eaten it. N-n-no, she never
would have picked it and g-given it to
