Or if they cannot be got rid of in Uiat way, is there any other way to do it save by grabbing Uietu ? I liave nearly thirty acres that are more or lees covered." Reply. —The present time is Uie best to rat any sort of brnsh. Being in full rigor of growth, the check given by close mowing wiUi s brush scythe or hook is generally fatal. A weak growth may iprout from the roots, and a second out ting close to Uie ground next month will kill ail but the most pemiateut of them. These should be Plowed up, and the roots gathered with Uie harrow. No, better course could be pursued than this in the cose above mentioned. KRMRPY FOR Ft.RAS.

Y., write*: "I have a number of oeh rv plants set ont, and wish for some information as to the proper time to keep tlie earth around them. Some tell me to keep the earth around them all the time, leaving only the leaves above Uie surface, and some tell me to let them get up a little and then put the earth around them. I have some trouble with the Wiinns eating tlx* leaves off and even the stalk* level with the ground. The worm it abont an inch long and one-eighth of on inch in diame ter, and striped, and seems rather dor mant. Flease tell me what will kill them." Reply.—The proper method of cul ture of celery is to set out the plants in narrow tranches about six niches deep and three feet apart. Tlie plants are set abont six inches apart in the rows. As the plants grow and reach above the surface of the ground, the stalks of each should be gathered together and the trench filled with loose earth, core being token not to permit any earth to get into the hearts of the As they are plant ed pretty thickly, they will grow np toll, and will need no more attention until full grown, when they should be again handled, the stalks gathered, and the earth banked up aguinst them, leaving bnt six inohes of tlie leaves above the top of the liank. The stalks then under go what is known as the process of blanching, and need no more attention until the time for gathering them arrives. If the plants have been set out different ly from the above method, it inav be necessary to earth them frequently to foroe an upward growth of stalk. The only remedy for the worms is to pick them off by hand, or to water the plants with a solution of quassia. Farm N*n. DRESSING FOR FRCTT TREES.—A barrel of ashes with eighty pounds of ground bone, made moist with water, will dissolve and constitute a good ilresaing for moat fruit trees. Coidc IN HORSES. —An officer who commanded artillery during the late war informs us of the following remedy for colic in horses which he has tried with Erfect success in hundreds of cases: lb the horse well between the forelegs and around the girth with spirits of tur pentine. Immediate relief follows. ASHES. —Do not allow ashes of any kind to be wasted. It will pay to haul leached ashes several miles, when cue has his own team and a laborer at fair wages. Cool ashes when spread around berry bushes of any sort, or around grape vines, will aid materially in pro liueing large and fair fruit. A correspondent of the Parifie Rural Pre** says: "Theonly effectual remedy for wire-worm I know of is a" thorough cultivation of the soil. Those that are troubled witli them will find by examin ing their soil that it is cold, and by stir ring it thoroughly it will get warmer. By so doing they will kill the wire-worm, as it cannot lire* in warm ground." PREVENTION OF SWARMING. —A corre spondent of the Be* Keeper* Magazine, in relation to the swarming of bees, says : " Alter I have had all the increase I desire, when a hive shows an inclina tion to swarm I move it to the place of some weaker hive. In that way I make all my colonies strong, and when I have accomplished that object bnt still have a hive that threatens to swarm I change places with another, that may also allow signs of swarming. The change of workers destroys the propensity of swarming for the time being, and by giving them plenty of box room they will store honey, and if they are again inclined to swarm, yon may move back again and it will have the effect." KEEprxo DOWN XHX WKUML— The London Garden remaks: "The only remedy for weeds ia prompt destruction in a young state. Weeds are easily eradicated if never allowed to advance beyond the seed-leaf. Once let their roots run deep and wide, and their topa rise high, and then tlie weeds are mas ters in the garden. It provokes one to see the complacency with which some cultivators allow weeds to establish themselves in flower bed* or borders, or on roads and walks,and their subsequent futile efforts to subjugate them. Prompt destruction will vanquish the very worst of them. Plantains, grass, thistles and docks, are perhaps the most difficult to eradicate. But if by any neglect these have gained a strong footing iu any garden, constant beheading alone will destroy them. No plant can live long if never allowed to form leaves or stems, and tlie shortest, surest, easiest way to eradicate the worst weeds is by incessant cutting off all their visible parts." .Wrdioal Ilfaln. REMEDY FOB WHOOPING COCGH.— Take half an ounce each of spirits of hartshorn and oil of amber; mix them well together; every night and morning anoint, well the palms of the hands, pit of the stomach, soles of the feet, arm pits and backbone. As long as the oint ment is being, do not allow the parts anointed to be washed; the back of the hand mar. be washed, but not the palm; care most be taken afterward not to take cold. This oannot injure the smallest infant Keep the bottle well corked. A CURE FOB RHEUMATISM. —Lemon juice is recommended a* a certain cure for acute rheumatism. It is given in quantities of a tablespoonful to twice the quantity of cold water, with sugar every hoar. MOTH PATCHES OM THE FACE.— Bathe the face two or three times a day in borax water; a teaspoonfui of powdered borax in a basin of warm water. POULTICES. —As to inflammation,sores, cute, wounds by tasty rails, etc., the great remedy is warmth and moisture, because these promote evaporation and cooling; whatever kind of poultice is ap plied, that is best which keeps moist the longest, and is in its nature mild; hence cold light (wheaten) bread, soaked in swdet milk, is one of the very best known. There is no specific virtue in the repulsive remedy of the " enta-ails of a live chicken," of Bcraped potatoes, turnips, beets, carrots, or any other scrapings; the virtue consists in the mild moisture of the application, Hence the memory need not he burdened with the recollection of particular kinds of poultices, but only with the "principle that, the poultice is beet whion keeps moist longest without disturbance. Gifts are as gold that adorns the temple; grace is like the temple that sanctifies the gold. SANSON AND YllHM'q. A t nrt.ii> lllnier Part, at Which Ikr Krrark Hrnitaann aad Iter Crlrkralnl llplivtlir were Prfwil. In a work called "The Recollections of Sir Johu Rowritig " we find the fol lowing: Api*ert once invite*! me to a dinner stieh as could only be given iu Pari*, Uie guests being Sanson, Uie hereditary executioner, Vidooq.tlie thief catcher, and aorne authors, artists, and j myaelf. Sanson and Vidooq made on Uiat *ocaaion their Mrst personal ac quaintance, though tliey seem to have iiad much connection with each other iu j Uieir separate aud singular spheres of , action. Sansoti talked very willingly of the management of Uie guillotine and of his mm and successor, whom lie after - ward introduced to me. He said that the families of the different executioners in France almost always intermarried, and that Uiere was a strung clanship among Uie member* of Uu* life-deatroy ing eotnninuity. He naked me to lus house in order Uiat he might exhibit the operation of the instrument of execu tion, aad 1 want thither, neeompauied by Lord Durham, Mr, Edward hllioe aud Mr. Dawnon Damer, whom, by the war, 1 had known iu Gmt, where his wife was introduced to ol*( Melieuiet All, whom alia much amused. Sanson's houst* had mute au air of respectability aud comfort. He showed us volumes which contained detailed records of what occurred at every public execution Uiat hal taken place m Paris. The books were very ueaUy kept, and bore the sig nature* of the parties who had as*isi<\l at the dread exhibitions. Some ouc asked Sanson wheUier, after decapita tiou, he liad ever seen any movement in the head after its separation from the UHIV, iu a theory hail been put forward Uiat sensation waa not immediately ex tuiguisbed by tlie operotiou, but lie auul that he had uei er observed the slightest movement. He eondocted us to a large outhouse ui which the fatal machine was kept. It was painted si"arlet, was pn )*aied, and Uie usual assistants wen* sammoutsl, in order that we might wit ness the whole mode of proceeding. We were struck by the heaviness and sharp ness of the knife, which, falling from a great height, eoiild not but do its bloody work most effectually. While seated at ilinner with M. Awert, Vidooq ones tioned Saustai as to the manner in whieh many acquaintance* had met Uietr death. He meutioneil, aunsug other things, that, when connected w itli the police, he had ass.viate.l himself with a hand of rob bers aud murderers, whom lie promised to deliver over to the authorities while they were engaged in a large scheme of pluuder at the Ratignollea. Au arrange ment wan made by which, on his firing a Eistol from a window, the house was to e surrounded and tlie felons captured, a* they were. Vidocq said thev never discovereil his treachery uuUl they saw him iu the street on their way to execu tion. Probably no man knew more of the organisation of the thieves and burglars iu Paris than did Vidocq, whose own offenses were condoned when he was admitted into the service of the criminal police, of whom he became a most efficient instrument. He luul also a little private profession uf iusown.and waa freijueuUy employed by indiindnals to assist in tbc detectiou and conviction of robbers. In his j>ersou there was noUiing remarkable, bnt he was aingu larly sell-possessed and disposeil to lie loquacious. Sanson, on the contrary, was a tall, heavy man, of taciturn habit, from whom information was onlv obtain able by its being specially sought. The sun had rather a cadaverous ap]*eorance, but took little share, when his father was present, in th colloquies tliat passed. A Mexican Border Outrage. Colonel Paschal of Corpus Cliriati, Texas, givee the following account of au outrage by banditti from across the Rio Grande: Hugh Scott, president of tlie Corpus Christ! and Itio Grande railroad com pany, visited San Diego, about fifty-five miles from Corpus Christi, in company with a young man from Philadelphia, who was* there for the purpose of dis ' {Hieing of some railroad iron. On their 1 way back in an ambulance, and when abont six milee from San Diego, they were halted by five Mexicans, who tied them to the ambulance and robbed them of their watches and money. Before re leasing them the Mexicans saw another ambulance approaching, aud leaviug with Scott and his friend, a shepherd, whom they hail captured and were hold ing as a prisoner, they interrupted the vehicle containing an old sheep-farmer, living at San Diego, and his son, who had been to Corpus Christi, aud the day before h:ul sold their wool crop for SBOU. The Mexican robbers shot the sou through the head, killing him instantly. The old man allowing a disposition to fight, was also killed, and his money was taken. In the meantime Koutt ami his friend and the shepherd succeeded in releasing themselves. Tlie former two escaped and went to Corpus Christi, while the shepherd went to San Diego and reported the outrage. A Company of men were raised in Sou Diego and pursued the thieves. Near Conception they discovered that tlie Mexicans had stopped long enough to kill the owner of a ranch. Thev were then pursued for about one. hundred miles, hut esca{>ed, their trail leading across the Rio Grande river. Flying Power of Bees. ; The following experiments were made with bees by Herr Douhoff: He took some bees from the hive, just as they ; came oat of the entrance hole, and I placed them under a glass bell, at a tem perature of sixty-six degrees Fahrenheit. First thev ran hastily up and down the •idea o< the glass and flew abont the jar. Some time niter, their movements be came leas hasty, and tinullv they all sat qnietlv together, or moved slowly and ' clumsily, being unable to fly abont A few were allowed to crawl upon a pencil, which, on being jerked, threw them into the air ; they fell down perpendicularly without moving their wings in the least' Two or three were then killed aud their honey-bags found to lie empty. To the others Herr Donhoff then gave a solution of sugar, and after feeding for a few raomeuts, he again threw them into the air: They no longer fell down perpen dicularly but a little further off, also mov ing the wiugs. A minute afterward they did not fall at all, bnt flew to the window. On repeating the experiment at a lower temperature, they lost their power of flying even sooner, and longer period elapsed before it returned after they were fed on sugar-water. In higher tem- Kraiurea the power returned sooner. irr Donhoff thinks it probable that the bee looses tlie power of flying liecanse it does not possess the necessary strength to be oiinverted into muscular action, aad that this strength returns to its sys tem -oeeaose in sugar it finds the neces -1 aary vital support. A .Slight Mistake. A reputable merchant of Paris found himself lately walking iu the street with out his pocket handkerchief, when its service* were particularly necessary, and, as he was cursing his ill luck, saw, just ah rail of him, the familiar figure of a friend who displayed the corner of a most tempting looking handkerchief lap ping over his - coat-tail pocket. The merchant made a gentle dive for it, but, as he drew it out, a heavy hand was laid on his shoulder, and, turning round, he confronted a policeman. No sooner had he turned nis head back than the horrid fact revealed itself that the owner of the handkerchief was an utter stranger. So the unhappy wretch was led off to the police station, but what was his relief to find that the chief officer on duty was an old friend, who, after a hearty laugh, begged him to ac cept the loan of what lie needed, and sent him on his way rejoicing. A NEST OF RATTLESNAKES. —Mr. Kirt land, of Sandersville, Ga., cnt open a hoi ow log vo catch ara bbit the other day, and on drawing the rabbit out he also drew oat an immense rattlesnake that had partly swallowed the animal. He struck the snake upon the bead, when sixteen yonng, furious rattlesnakes ran out of the pouch under the body of the mother snake. The little snakes were very bellicose, but were all killed. There were seventeen rattles on the old snake, and itl measured about five feet in length. A FATAL FIRE. ptrveral •••! Hfr Rninf4 i Oewib i n Fire In t'lnrlnnnlt.

The professor, perfectly astonished, observed: " Thanks—but for what ?" " Listen, sir. I was married to the ■lid Prince . Mv husband died some years ago. He died insolvent, so ' that 1 was left even without the daily bread. I resolved to seek the necessary mesne of subsistence in science."

The lady continued : " Oliserve, then ; it is now more thou three years that here in Leipsio I have been a student Hie student who lately passed the examination, and whom you considered worthy of distinction, is none other than myself." Four Infants Elope. An extraordinary instance of juvenile pre\eity has just oome to light iu St Louis. A lawyer of that city, who re turned the other morning from a visit to Louisville, reports that at Terre Hante, Ind., his train took on a detective with two little boys and two little girls in charge. The boys appeared to be about twelve yean* old, and the girls aliont a year older. They are the children of respectable parents residing in St Louis, and were on their way to New York for the purpose of getting married. These two childish couples had been " sparking " for some time, and knowing the utter impossibility of obtaiuiug paternal consent to marry, concluded to run away to New York and try their chances there. Hy hoarding their nick els for several weeks Uiey saved euougli to rrny the fare of the party, aud when everything waa in readiness they laiard d a train at the St. Louis bridge, and took a section of a sleeping car. It was almut midnight when the train arrived at Terre Haute, and their slum bers were rudely disturtied by the officer, who took the quartette in charge, and putting them on the westeru-bouml train, escorted them to St. Louis. The boys were a gixid deal disconcerted by the contretemim, aud willingly returned to their homes. It seems that the father of one of the lads obtained an inkling of what was going on, and on missing his young hopeful, made inquiries and learned the route he had takeu. A dispatch was seut to the police at Terre Haute, and the children were captured and sent back to tit. Louis. The Russian Artillery. The Cologne flazrttr says : The Rus sian army has gone into the field with guns which are in all respects equal, if ■ not superior, in precision and force to those used by the German armies in the last French war. Their gunners have had ten years' experience of these guns. The material uses! is partly bronze, part ly steel. At first n great number of steel barrels wore obtained from Messrs. Krupp, but various experiments with bronze barrels having produced satisfac tory results, the latter material only was used ; so that the normal urtillery equip ment consists of bronze guns, the steel ones lying kept as a reserve. The Rus sian field guns are all four-ponndern and 1 nine-pounders. The lighter guns are for the horse batteries and one-half of , the foot batteries, and the heavier ones for the remaining half. Roth kinds are rather heavier, both as regards the shot and barrel, than the German guns of corresponding size. This makes them loss movable, but better suited for the present war, which will chiefly consist of attacks on fortified positions. The Russiannnine-ponder, which represent* forty-five per cent, of the whole field artillery, may be regarded as a siege | gun. The artillery brigades which are to be employed exclusively in Asia are provided with three-pounders. The ■ batteries attached to the infantry divi j sions consist of four-pounders and nine pounders in equal proportions. The batteries attached to the cavalry divi sions are mounted ones, with six poqnders. A IVlnrNqup Turkish Town, The Turkish headquarter* at Bhurala art' picturesquely situated.

A almrt time since a young suitor, second officer of a ship trading to the Mauritius from Melbourne, left hut wife liriug at Williamstown, Australia. At Port Louis illness seised him, and lie was left in tlie hospital seriously ill. Uu the arrival of the ship, the wife saw the captain, who gave her the farts con cerning the healtii of her hushaud. Sub seqnentlv, another arrival from Mau ritius told her that her husband "died in the hoapital," and upon this very un reliable authority she concluded herself a widow, and in this cajacity took a situation in the provinces, ami after a time—sav about a twelvemonth from her husband's lcaviug—she married her em filoyer's brother. Meanwhile, the Ims- Muid was not dead at all, but recovered. No ship offering for the colony, he shipped home, • writing hi* wife, who, having left her former residence, never got his letters. Arriving in England, he learned that a rich relative in China had died and left him a large amount of money, and accordingly he sailed to China and took pomeaaion of the proper ty, ujion which he realised aome <>oo. the result of vears of snccesaful speculation, and saibxl for Victoria to join his wile and enjoy hia wealth with her, only to find that, "unlike I¥nelope, she had not waited for her Ulvaaea, and was another's The next homeward mail boat took him away to England without disturbing the felicity of the existing arrangement The wife now repents her precipitancy. A Choleric Father's Kcveßge. A sentimental young gentleman in Ualveatou, Texas, waa paying hia ad dreases to a pretty daughter of a choleric Frenchman, and was drifting gently into the smooth haven of wedlock. Bttif denly he ran aero** a snog. A jealous rival told die young lady that her affianced lover had called her father " a snappish, snarling, gouty old frog-enter," and had described her on " a flirt of tlie first water, with a temjier equal to that of Beelzebub's spinster aunt." The ytaing lady wa* angrv. Hhe told her father and he was also wroth. The door* were closed upon the lover; tin old gentleman even threatened to brain him. A few weeks afterward the voung ladv discovered tbat her lover had lieen maligned, and forthwith he WHS sum moned with prayers, promises and tears. He called one evening and everything was satisfactorily explained. The chol eric old Frenchman did not know that the charges were false. He happened to posH through the hall and saw the happy lovers sitting close to each other nnd holding hands. His ire was inflamed. He went on tip-toe to the water-cooler at the end of the hall, carried it to the parlor door, and suddenly reversed it above the heads of the devoted pair. Explanations and dry clothes were soon in order. A Tornado in Mid Air.

Motmie M . wife of Jan<* M Walpole. M Tlie above. from a Sew Orlcftw paper, ! iw the simple amiouueemeat of one of : the sorrowfulcst stone* it ever falls to mortal pen to recouut, Mounie M. I'ritohard, of New Orleans, wo* a l*au tiful, gentle, very intelligent girl. Hhe was a cousin of Mr. William McAlptn, of Ofnctnnati, and some time ago visited Cincinnati at-d tlie North for the first . time. Her visit of a few weeka in Cin cinnati stretched itself out to mauy months, tiefore she left finally for her 1 Southern home. She uiitundlj had nuuiv friemla and admirers. Mr. James M. \Valpole, city i editor of the New Orleans I'icaj/un*, i hod been devoted to her for four years, and at length, on the nineteenth of June, they were to have been married. Ilefore the hnppv day came Miss Pritrh ard was stricken with snddcu, fatal sick ness. Thursday, June 7, it became plain that the lovely girl could not tarry longer among the liviug. They told her so, and she sent for her liethrothed, and asked to lie married to him In-fore she died. "Yes," saiil Mr. Walpolo, " if she is to die, 1 want her to die a* my wife." The solemn marriage ceremonv wne |>erfornied hnrriedly and sadly, while the gentle soul was even then (lassing into eternity. Three hours after she was dead, and Mr. Walpole, four years a lover, three hours n husband and now a widower, has only her sweet remem brance left him. Another Black Hills Kuffian. "Well, Patrick Callivghau," aaid Jus tice Smith to a man who was brought before him at the Tombs police court in New York, "the officer swears that you went to the Fourth precinct station house last night and told the sergeant that yon hod killed four men." "Ho help me, judge," replied Oal lnghan, solemnly raising his jiand, "AS I stand here before you, 1 never laid a hand on any living man with intent to do him an injury." " I don't know about that." said his honor; "yon said last night that you had killed four men, And that yon had just coino from the Block Hills, nnd that you had been a ' buster ' out there. You gave the names of the men, too." " I never hit a man in a passion," re plied Callnghan, very meekly, "and I never was out of New York." "I shall have to charge you 92.50 apiece for the men," was the sentence of the ooiirt, " and yon ought to consider yourself very lucky to escape hanging. A blood-stained man like you ought not to be allowed to roam around frightening jHsir policemen with such tales." And Patrick, who did not look as if he would kill a cat, was sent down stnira to live ten (lays at the expense of tin-city, lie cause he had not the ten dollars necessary to pay for the four men he had killed. lieprosy. Bcportson leprosy have beon published by surgeons in British India. Dr. I'lanck, sanitary commissioner of the northwest provinces of Bengal, considers that probably no fewer than 10,0519 persons in that vast area arc leprous, and it results in reducing to beggary at least one-third of that number. Its attacks arise seldom from contagion. It is a hereditary dis ease. As a rnle leprosy assumes out ward and hurtful appearance between the ages of twenty and fifty. In China the great seats "of leprosy are in tlie provinces of Canton and Fokien. In Canton there are believed to be 10,000 lepers. Leprosy is unknown among the Australian aborigines. Of late years it has been more frequently observed in Europeans who have visited the East and West Indies. Nt'MMAKY OF ifKWMt I Isms •• Islsrsst frsai lists* aa* AbrssS.

As Uio trials of lift- thicken and lite dreams of other dnys fade, one by one iu the deep vista of disappointed hope, the heart grows weary of the struggles, and we begin to realise onr iuaignificance. Those who have climbed to the pinunele of fame, or revel in luxury and wealth, go to the grave at last with the poor mendi cant who begs pennies by the wayside, and like him, are soon forgotten. Gene rations after generations, says an eloquent modern writer, have felt as we feel, aud tlieir fellows were as active in life as our* are HOW. They passed away as vapor, while nature wore the same aspect of beauty as her creator commanded her to be. And so, likewise, shall it be when we are gone. The heavens will bo as bright over onr graves as they are now arouud our path; the world will have the name attraction for offsprings yet unborn that she had once for ourselves, and that she has now for our children. Yet a little while, aud all this will have hap pened. Days will continue to move on, and laughter and song will le heard in every chamber in which we died; and the eye that mourned for us will be dried, and will glisten with joy, aud even onr children will cease to think of us, on* will not remember to lisp our names.— Goodrich. American Beef In England. W. W. Woolmwgh, editor of the Bat tle Creek 7Wfcunr, now visiting hia boy hood's home iu England write* aa fol low! of tlie excitement produced among the hutchcra by the sale of American beef in that eouutry : It ia amusing to witness the indica tions of *usphuon and incredulity of tlie (MHiple in regard to American meat*. The other day we attended the niarkot, and there saw * slmrp, talkative Englishman sidling Chicago hams, shoulders and tmeou. He cut the meat into small pieces weighing two or four |M>uuda each, aud disposed of it at five pence per pouud (aUmt ten, twelve aud fourteen cents our money,) aeoordaig to tlie value of tlie cut His stand waa sur rounded, during the entire afternoon, by men aud women both of the town and rural district*. Those who were in elined to risk the purchase of a niece of American meat, " rec jouoilerea " the entire situation Imfore doing so. The meat was picked up, the uawl organ waa invoked, aud it was critically examined witli the eye. Our felt hat and general Wearing apjiarel denoted that we were a stranger , the people suspected that we were Ainericau. In conversation with sev eral tlie inquiry was made if "that meat waa put up iu America f" "1* it fit to eat? "It ia not well blackeued" (smoked). Thrj were mfurmed that it was as goud meal as England was capable of pro ducing. It is auld here at from five to six cents per pound lees than the borne article. Advertising Medium*. Advertising ha* run wild. Mountain* echo back to each other tlie merits of pilla and vermifuges, waterfall* are elo quent with the virtues of a new blacking or hair dye, human aandwiehes peram bulate the atreeta with huge sine Ida tell ing of patent mtwltcine*. women walk home from stores with their simple pur chase*, unable to hnle the broad name of the firm blazoned upon their parcel*, and even schooner* hold up white sail* soiled with i>ffen*ive advertising. The president of the recent atove convention at Detroit denounced these ostentation* aud sensational method*, and **id: "The newspaper is immeasurably the tieet medium open to our trade; the moat liberal aud expert advertiaers testify to its value, and iu the employ ment of it* column* we would find a mean* of escape from wasteful, undigni fied and ineffective methods, to which ao many resort in their c-agerneea to secure attention and patronage." Hi* remark* were favorably received, and there are indication* of a reform. A good news paper forma the most profitable medium of reaching the public eye. —„\Vtc York (/rap ftic.

Value of Boofi Reading. Hie value of good reading cannot he too highly estimated, say* a country teacher. A full supply of resiling mat ter is equally reaenhal in the town and country. Pajiem could often Ibe obtained, where they are not, if the determination was stronger. The general pica is: "no money," out there is always money for amusements, when no papers can be had. I have, when teaching, been fortunate enough tu have a regular boarding place, where good papers ami hooka were furnished. I nave visited the homes of my pupils and noticed particularly the influence of literature; especially when Uie reading is adapted to the young. I have beeu in families where, if I men tioned some important event which had taken place, they would look with sur prise that one could know of events so distant; and ]>erhapa I would be as ig norant of the facts concerning the neigh bom, as those who have no desire to gain wisdom arc unaware of the foreign war.

It is a custom with the Chinese build ers, on fixing the upper beam of the roof of a building, to let off fireworks, am! worship it, or the spirits which iH-rva lea over the ground on which the house sands ; when they congratulate the owner on their proceedings thus fsr with the building. The journeymen > generally get a little liquor on the oc casion. It is a very general opinion that the nißsous, by concealing in the wall an image of the representation of some evil spirit, can materially affect the hsppiness or prosperity of those who ! live in the house; hence it liecomes a usage to worship the patron of the man sion, that success and happiness may attend the inhabitants.
