About Ferns.

A beautiful and luxuriant group of ferns
may be had for the entire summer by any
one who has large tree or shady place where
they can be planted. II there is wet and
unsightly place that can never be made to
look well, all the better; choose that spot for
your ferns. An airy place, shaded by the
house, will do nearly as well. To prepare a
place for ferns proceed in this wise: Choose
bundle of stakes two and a-half feet long,
an inch and a half in diameter, and which
still retain the bark drive these into the
ground in a circular or oblong form, as you
may wish the bed to be. The stakes may
stand from twelve to eighteen inches above
the ground. Now weave in and about the
stakes, basket fashion, grapevine until the
top of the stakes is reached. You then have
what appears to be a rustic basket. Fill the
bottom with sod or earth rubbish of various
sorts, but leave room enough in the top for a
good layer of fresh mold, in which plant the
ferns, which may be taken from the woods
as soon as the fronds begin to peep above the
ground.
1t is better 10 choose the ferns from plot
where they grow thickly, and take them up
so that they may be as little divided as posi-
Bile, and with plenty of soil unbroken about
the roots. Fill your baskets full of them,
and ifyou water them well you will have a
thing of beauty to gladden. your eyes and
cool your senses during MI The summer days.
The baskets may be further ornamented by
slipping seeds OF the cypress vine or morning
glory between the inlerstices of the grape
vine into the SOIL

About Wounds,

1t is surprising what difference there is
in individuals in the bearing of wounds, says
Archibald Forbes. l have seen man need
to be held by eight persons while whitlow
was being lanced. lhave seen another smoke
course it is easier to bear the pain of an am
putation when you are already suffering in
tense agony than if the operation were in
flicted upon perfectly sound limb When
a man is struck by bullet he seldom feels
any pain. He feels the blow as if some one
had struck him with fist, but it is not for
an hour or two that the wound begins to
smart. One English officer in Ashantee
went about for some time with couple of
slugs in him without knowing that he had
been touched, and it was only when his COM
rades noticed the blood that he was aware he
had been wounded

Taking and Giving Advice.

Taking good advice is quite a different
thing from giving good advice. Almost ey-
erybody knows how TO do the second next
to nobody knows how to do the first. Yet
taking good advice is, normally, at least, quite
as important as giving good advice; and in
the present state ofthe world, it is much more
important. What a sudden change there
would be in this laundering old world, if the
taking of good advice were us easy and as
pleasant as its giving.
1t was favorite thought and conceit OF
the classical writers that men were divided
into three classes: "Men who, themselves
knew what they ought to do; men who did
not themselves know, but who were willing
to learn from Others what they should do
and men who neither knew nor would
learn from Others what was best for them
to do. If one cannot belong to the choice
few who form the first of these three classes
he ought, at least, to see that he does moi
belong to the iguoble many who form the
third.

Why should [ Insure my Life =!

1st Because, the moment my life is insured
my estate is really worth fully the amount of my
3D. Because having but one life, my family
cannot avail themselves OF the law of average in
any other way.
Sd. Because policy of insurance on my life
will give me the composure and freedom from
solictude which In sickness contributes to re-
ooyery, and thereby lengthens life
4th. Because, as death is certain, every dollar
invested in life insurance must return to my es-
tate, and at time when my family will need 1t
5th. Because, If owned house, the rent of
which was $1,000 per year, should deem II duty
to my family to keep 1t insured then how much
more duty having but one life, which is worth
$1,000 per year to my family to keep that insured
which they may lose at any time, and must lose
9th. Because, whatever, as matter of theory,
1t Is possible to do in the way of laying aside
small sums annually, experience proves that
shall not do IT unless an obligation is created by
which feel bound to do so, whereas by the stip-
ulation TO pay small sum annually, L at once
secure to my family an accumulation which could
only be the result of the savings of many years.
TIN. Because the experience of more than a
century proves that well managed Life Insur-
ance Companies are the safest institutions in the
world
sth. Because other investments with promise
OF as profitable returns are not so easily found,
and generally being of a speculative character,
not unfrequently end in entire loss
9th. Because an Investment in a policy of Life
Insurance is far preferable to deposits in a Saw
ings Bank. An Insurance Company combines the
advantages of the latter with an indemnity
against risks. Like the Savings Bank, it takes
care OF the deposltor's money, but it does more.
what Is OF higher Importance to the depositor,
the Company engages. in consideration of a GER
tain sum of money paid annually, during the life
OF the depostor, to pay much larger sum TO his
family upon his decease A Savings Bank makes
provision only for life. The average duration of
human life is only thirty-three years. OF 800 per-
sol sons only one lives eighty years, and Of 100 only
being admitted, 1t follows that accumulation
upon the Savings Bank principle does not meet
the requirements of the case.

a SUMMER SUNDAY.

a SUMMER SUNDAY.
Good-by, sweet summer day,
A long good-by;
sit and watch you go,
wrapped In your sunset glow;
love you, love you sol
Why can't you stay?
You seemed long, long day
At waking time
SO many still, sweet hours,
Such dew upon the flowers,
Such church bells in their towers.
Ginning away.
Now you are gone, sweet day,
How short you were!
Your hours seemed to run.
Morning was scarce begun
When afternoon was done,
And gold turned gray.
All, such dear, good day,
1t should have held
No idleness or fret,
No bad thought to regret;
wish it had not, yet
fear to say.
Good-by. dear, dying day,
A last good-by;
Never again can we
To all eternity
Just this sweet Sunday see,
Wish as we may.

The pressure is growing apace for

that more room must be obtained for

line near First street. where ample room
can be obtained at reasonable cost.
The next project is for the y. p. r. r.
Co. to remove IL track to the river bank
from Alameda street, 90 that al the
steam railways passing through the city
en- pass along the bank Of the river and
with their impregnAble embankment

Their busineas q growing 80 rapidly that
they must have room. and the river bank
Is the only locality where SUFFICIENT room
can be obtained.
On each aide of First street, large
tract can be secured for the purpose of a
great Union Depot, where each Of the
three railways can have double tracks
for the moving Of their trains. The L,
A. 4 =. @. v. b. R. has already secured
the necessary room for its business on

The property holders on Alameda
