A School of Deyil-Fish.

Old ocean pilots and sea-going peo-
pie who watched the school of devil
fish that played about the pilot-boats
and the tug Cynthia, before the boa is
got of in "a recent regatta at Charles
ton, S. c., says that such a sight is
very rare in the life of a marine r.
They played about the craft for full ly
half an hour, and were principally
young devil-fsh from four feet long to
six feet, and they looked like great
bats. Some OF them had shed their
tails, while others had caudal appen-
dages fully yard in length. As
many as twenty OF these hideous-look-
ing marine curiosities were seen at one
time, and one was shot by one OF the
crew OF Neca, and after lashing the
waters OF the sound into foam 1t sank
out of sight.

LOVE AND DUTY.
D lassie. ere the bugle cali

20 lassie, ere the bugle call
Shall summon us to part,
Accept soldiers love, and cheer
A Highland laddie's heart;
For have brought from many climcs,
Across the distant sea-,
This costly scarf of Indian silk
To pledge my love to thee"
cannot seal our plighted troth."
The maiden COPY said;
"Till have proved thy love TO night,
l may not with thee wed
Tomorrow is ST. Andrews day.
And where thy banners wave
My sire was slain, and must plant
A flower upon his grave"
The church bell chimed the midnight hour
As, through the falling snow,
A soldier kept his lonely watch
With measured steps and Slow;
But mid the gloom maiden sped,
In secret, hurried flight
She waved her lovers scarf, and passed
Unchallenged through the night.
At daybreak in the snow were traced
Strange footprints where she slept,
And through the camp a murmur ran,
"Some traitor guard has slept"
At night another soldiers grave
Was measured in the snow;
For love"s sweet sake his duty failed,
Yet love would have IL so.

if so unfortunate as to scorch the
bosom of a shirt while ironing it, hang
in the sun, and it will be drawn out in
a few hours.
Carpets will look much brighter
after sweeping if wiped off with damp

rubbed dry with a cloth wet in milk
The same treatment applies to stone

warm rain water, carefully applied
with a wet sponge, will remove the
spots from paintings and chromos.

than ono farmer in twenty has ever
dreamed OF. With n good garden to
go to good housewife need never be
at a loss to know what to get for din
ner from the first OF July until winter,
and from it she can set better table
than any amount Of money will pro.
vide away from city market. Such
a garden costs u good deal OF time
and care, and some money, but ii
comes to much more than it costs,
and is, we believe, the best investment
a farmer can make. Besides this
fine garden is one of the healthiest
and pleasantest places on farm. The
man who does not enjoy owning and
seeing one, who cannot get solid COM
fort and substantial satisfaction in
working one, has not only a
sluggish soul but a stomach that sadly
needs to be refined and educated, es-
pccially il he is one OF that class who
look upon gardening as very small
business for able-bodied men, and when
the ground is plowed and few pota-
toes and II little corn planted, leave
the rest TO the women and children.
Such farmer deserves TO be fed on
salt horse and Johnny-cake from De-
cember to January. Our advice then
is, to all our readers who own land, to
make a garden, make it in good spot,
make it big, plant it in not only sub
stantials Of garden sauce" but fruits
and relishes, a score Of things of which
you perhaps know nothing but which
you can learn about by a little
inquiry. Don't be stingy with your
fertilizers; don't be afraid of wasting

The Garden.

The farmer who has no garden is a
and he cheats his family, and that is
the worst kind Of cheating; he fails to
take half the good things he is entitled
70; he lives poorly when he might live
well; he Furnishes his stomach and
keeps his pocket-bOOk lean; he deprives
himself Of half the satisfaction he ought
TO take in seeing his crops grow and
feeling that come what will he and his
will have plenty to eat, and in the end
he probably drives his children away
from home and spends his declining
years with the dyspepsia. But you say
all farmers have gardens. No they
don't. Four hills OF cucumbers, two
rows of sweet corn and few lonesome
beanstalks are not garden any more
than broken water-wheel, five hun
dred bobbins and loom are a cotton
mill; and any quantity OF stunted vege-
tables on worn out soil, or any amount
of weeds on good soil is not garden
any more than a clump OF scrub
oaks on a barren plain is q
forest, or cat-tail swamp prairie
cornfeld. All farmers have so-called
gardens but most Of them are only so
called. They occupy ground that has
been titled for years, perhaps for half
century. 1t may be rich in fertilizers
but it is vastly more so in angle-worms
and weed-seed. They are small and
perhaps shaded by ancient trees whose
fruitfulness ended long ago. They are
probably sltirted on two or three sides
by dense growth Of brambles and
artichokes, but the side next the hen
house is open to all corners. They are
plowed and planted at odd jobs, when
the owner cannot work in the field, and
they contain but little more than the
usual variety OF field crops. potatoes,
corn, beans, peas, and perhaps few
cucumbcrs and beets. They are hoed
