No Time for Hating.
Begono with feud ! swsy with strife ;
Our human hearts unmating !
Let ua IK* friends again ! This lifo
Is all too short for hating 1
80 dull the day, so dim the way,
80 rough the read we're faring
Far better weal with faithful friend
Than stalk alone uncaring 1
Tho barren flg, tho withored vino,
Are tyjsw of selfish living ;
But souls that give, like thine and mine,
Renew their life by giving.
Whilo Cypress waves o'er early gisvos
On all tho way we're going,
Far licttor plant where seed is scant
Than tread on fruit that's growing.
Away with scorn 1 Siuco dio wo must
And rest on one low pillow ;
There are no rivals in tho dust
No foes beneath the willow.
80 dry tho bowers, so few the flowers,
Our earthly way discloses,
Far better stoop where daisies droop
Than tramp o'or broken roses!
Of what are all the Joys wo hold
Compared to joys alovo us ?
And what are rank and jiower and gold
Com|>ared to hearts that love us?
So fleot our years, so full of tears,
So closely death is waiting ;
God gives us space for loviug grace,
But leaves no timo for hating.

HER FIRST APPEARANCE.
It really was "quite too awfully vox
ing," after all licr preparations were
made, that now, nearly at the last mo
ment, such a contretemps should occur,
and the more she thought of it the more
was Mrs. Stewart Allenby in despair.
And with good reason, for she had is.
sued cards for a morning concert—a
matinee musicalo, as she called it on the
invitations; the first she hail ever given
since she moved to the great honse in
one of tho most fashionable roads in
South Kensington, and she particularly
desired that it should bo a success—and
now Signora Belcore had gone and
fallen sick at the eleventh hear, and
the programme would be too short un
less some one could bo found to sing
the cavatina from '' Linda de Chamon
nix."
" I'ut in a comic song instead," sug
gested Mr. Allenby, whose taste was
not educated up to concert pitch.
"A comic song indeed !" echoed his
wife with n scornful laugh. "George,
you are a fool !"
But as Mr. Allenby bad heard this
blunt statement a good many times be
fore, he wos'not at all discomposed by it.
At that moment the door opened
softly. Mrs. Allenby started np.
"Williams," cried she to tho foot
man, "I'm not at heme! Didn't I tell
you I could see nobody this morning!"
"Yes, madam," the footman answered,
coughing lehind his hand; " but it
isn't company, madam—it's the visiting
governess."
"Oh! ',Mrs. Allenby was visibly re
lieved. "Come in, Miss Ashton. Wil
k liams, call Miss Constance ut once to
■ her lessons."
Margaret Ashton came qnietly in, a
little, gray-dressed creature, like a nun,
with soft hazel eyes, a complexion as
pale as ivory, and mended gloves upon
her small hands.
"Yon are not well, Mrs. Allenby,
I am afraid T she said, gently, as she
seated herself.
" I am well enough!" said Mrs.
Stewart Allenby, petulantly—" only
Fm in despair. Yon don't know of any
one who conld sing that cavatina for
me, do yon, Miss Ashton?"
"Perhaps— I conld," said Margaret.
" You f
Mrs. Allenby stared as if the visiting
governess had stated that she conld
construct a sentence in Sanscrit.
"I conld sing a little once,"raid Mar
garet ; " and that cavatina was one of
my favorite pieces."
" Yon darling !" she cried. "If only
yon conld help me ont of this dilemma.
Til be gratefnl to yon all my lifo long."
Margaret went back to tho hnmble
little snbnrban cottage where she rented
three rooms—a cottage where sho sup
ported a fretful valetudinarian mothvw,
and a pretty widowed sister, whose life
had been a failnre all tho way through.
"Charlotte " she said, to the latter.
" I'm going to sing at a concert next
Wednesday!"
" Yon !" echoed the widow. " You'll
fail, for a certainty."
"I can try," said Margaret, with a
flattering sigh.
"Your voice is well enough," said the
aister, disparagingly; "but it has no
volume. And you never will have the
confidence to sing before an audience."
The tears came into Margaret's eyes.
"I must do something, Charlotte,"
•aid she. "We cannot live on as we
are living now. Wo are in debt every
where; and since the doctor has pre
acribed dainties for mamma I haven't
known where to look for the money to
* 4 buy them with."
"Perhaps I shall get something to do
■oon," said Charlotte.
" But, in the meantime ?" said Mar
garet, wiib a sorrowful uplifting of her
•yebrows.
bhe was a magnanimous little thing,
this hard-worked, palo-faooil visiting
governess,[or alio would have romindod
her older sister that sitting all day with
Otui-pai>ered lookM and dog's-eared nov
els was no way to obtain a lucrative
situation of any sort.
" It's very hard on mo," said Mrs.
Ashton, who sat with a devotional book
in her laj> and a bunch of grapes on a
china plate beside her. "If Margaret
had been like any one else she would
have made a brilliant match long ago."
Margaret did not remind her mother
how she had discarded Jlasil Hepburn
long ago, because he was not sufficiently
aristocratic and wealthy to snit Mrs.
Ashton's lofty ideas—and how Mr.
Hepburn had sinco booomo a rich man,
and a man of mark.
"If ho know how very poor wo are,"
said Margaret to herself, with a sigh,
" I think he would bo sorry. But I
could not tell him; and now that he has
gono to travel in Egypt, and up the
Nile, it isn't likely I shall ever sen him
again."
"You haven't any more voice than a
Sparrow," said Mrs. Ashton.
" You have never cultivated what
littlo you have," said Mrs. Charlotte;
"and tho idea of your standing up to
sing among those professional vocalists
is simply preposterous!"
But Margaret stood valiantly to her
colors, anil when tho eventful night ar
rived she stood there on tho velvet
covered platform, in her well-worn
black silk, softened by bunches of pale
pink rosebuds, and a drapery of misty
black lace, a spray of rosebuds in her
hair, and an intent look in her soft
brown eves.
"Now don't fail," Mrs. Allenby had
whispered, as tho jtortiercrs of crimson
velvet were lifted for her to pass out
npon tho mimic stage.
" No," she answered, qnietlyf " I shall
not fail."
But, for an instant, as she faced tho
brilliant audience, tho llntter of funs,
tho flash of diamonds, tho glitter of the
foot-lights seemed to blind and daz/.10
her; a suffocating sensation arose in her
throat.
" I am going to fail," sho thought,
and the recollection of Charlotte's dis
mal prophesies occurred to her her
mother's prognostications of evil, her
own tormi-nting doubts.
" I will not fail!" sho said to herself,
and advancing boldly into the; littlo
ar.-na, she faced the circle of intent
eyes, and lxgan to sing.
Sweet and clear, like the 1: juid notes
of a lark, her voice soared up, until,
forgetting her own identity in that of
Donizetti's Swiss heroine, she became
almost inspired; and at the closo a per
fect shower of bonqnots rained down
npon the stage at her feet—an ovation
of voices rang np again and again in
deafening applause. But Margaret was
conscious only of one thing—she had
not failed.
Mrs. Allenby welcomed her ipptnr
ously to the pretty little " green -ri'
" My dear Miss Ashton," she wmt,
"you are a genius—a second Jennv
Lind ! Who was to suppose that you
hail such a divine voice ? You are the
star of my little concert—the prima
donna of the evening ! No, don't take
yonr bonnet," as Margarej mechanically
stretched out her hand for it. "Yon
must come in to the drawing-room.
They are all wild to know you."
" But I cannot," pleaded poor Mar
garet, with a downward glance at her
dress. "I am not prejiared."
" You arc perfect," said Mrs. Hb'Wart
Allenby, with winning despotism. " Bo
sides, one of my guests savs you are an
old acquaintance of his—Mr. Hepburn,
who has jnst returned from Palestine
and tho Holy Land."
80 Margaret was led into the midst
of the glittering throng, and introduced
here and there, until, like one moving
in a dream, she found herself leaning on
Basil Hepburn's arm.
" 80 you are a great singer," he said.
" I never sang in public before in all
my life."
" Yon will lo prouder and more
haughty than ever."
'• I never was humbler in all my life."
" Margaret," lie uttered, softly.
" Well, Mr. Hepburn ?'
"Mr. Hepburn!, That sonnda cold.
Hnpposo yon say, as yon used to say,
Basil,"
" Bnt things aro not as they used to
be," said poor Margaret, her heart be
ginning to beat unevenly in her hreast
"Can they not be so again, dear little
Margaret?" he whispered, bending his
tall head to the level of the cluster of
rosebuds in her hair. " Can we not go
lack to tho initial chapter of our lives,
and l>egin it all over again. lam a rich
man, now, bnt all my money cannot
buy mo any treasure half so sweet and
priceless as your love. Dearest Mar
garet, tell me that you, too, have not
entirely forgotten the past."
And Miss Ashton went home from
Mrs. Btewart Allenby's matinee musicals
an engaged young lady.
" I didn't fail, after all," she said,
radiantly. "And I had half • dosen
applications to sing again at private
ooncerta, ami Mrs. Allenby's money will
just buy my wedding dress."

Last year, as a test of a frequent
practice among growers of melons
and squashes, I pinched tho ends of the
long main shoots of the melons,
squashes and encumbers, and left some
to run at their own will. One squash
plant sent out a single stem, reaching
more than forty feet, but it did not bear
ono fruit. Another plant wus pinched
until it formed a compact mass of inter
mingling side-shoots and main brunches
eight feet square, und it bore sixteen
squashes. The present yeur a plant of
muskmolon thus pinched in covers the
space allotted to it and it lias set
twenty-three fruit, tho most of which,
of course, has been pinched off. Tho
pinching causes many lateral branches,
and these prodtico.tbc female or fertile

only male blossoms. Tho difference in

sprouting Ifools.
This, says an exchange, is usually a
sign of an unhealthy tree. The common
method of getting rid of sprouts is to
chop them off with a hatchet or spade.
This only increases the trouble. A stub
of more or less length is left standing,
and this in tiino throws up three or
four sprouts to one cut off. A second
trimming has only the same effect if
carelessly done. The proper way is to
remove tho soil below where tho sprouts
start ; then with a sharp knifo or chisel
carefully remove the sprout, taking care
not to bruise any of the adjacent bark.
Then fill in the soil, and in most cases
there will bo no necessity for a second
trial. Hpronts are caused by latent
buds or abraded bark, and usually in
dicato a diseased condition of the stem.
After attaining any considerable size
very few trees throw up sprouts from
their base.
fooH for Fowl*.
Aw riter in the Country tlentleman dis
cusses the subject of llavor in fowl's
flesh. Among other remark* he says:
That brei*l has something to do with it
may not Is- denied, but that food ha*
more can safely IK? credited. Food not
only affects the flavor, but the quality
and quantity also. Fowls that are fat
tened on corn alone produce not only a
sweet flavored flesh ami plenty of it. but
the fat is apt to be oily, ami posse** a
strong, unpleasant odor. This is in a
great measure governed by the breed.
That small fowls are superior where
quality is desired is a decided fact; but
where quantity is tho desideratum, irr- -
hjootive of other qualities, the larger
fowls mar be cultivated, es|>eciallv
the Asiatics. Buckwheat make fine,
white flesh, but nothing flavors it like
ground corn an I oat* intermixed ejna!-
It, and scalded or moistened sufficiently
with either milk or water, but not
enough for the milk to run. This should
1K given fresh each day, and net allowed
to sour or ferment. Fowls require good,
sweet food. Musty meal or moldy grain
are always unsuitable. For table use,
where a flue flavor i* desired,fowls should
'*> confined in clean quarters, and l*?fed
on wholesome food for at least une week
before slaughter. Where fow Is are con
fined in small compass, some absorbent
should le used to neutralize the drop
pings, otherwise the flesh will become
tainted from the disagreeable odor
arising therefrom. For this purpose
there is nothing lietter than air-slacked
lime or unleaclicd w<>od ashes, where
there is sufficient ventilation.

Mr. O. B. I'otter, of New York, writes
as follows to tho American Cultivator •
I have practiced this system for three
years, have applied it to common fod
der corn, red clover, pearl millet. West
India millet or Guinea corn, green rye,
green oat* and mixed grasses in which
clover predominated with entire success
in every case. The last year I preserved
about 100 tons, and during the summer
I have put down aliout 200 tons, and
have added sorghum and sugar cane to
the varieties of fodder I have liefore
preserved. I have never lost any fod
der thus preserved, bnt during the
whole experiment it has lieen perfectly
preserved and better than when fed
fresh and green from the field. As the
first fermentation is passed in the pro
cess the food thus preserved has no
tendency either to scour or bloat the
animals fed. It is cstcn up eagerly
and clean, leaf and stalk, and stock
thus fed exhibits the highest condition
of health and thrift. For milch cows,
to which I have mainly fed it, it sur
passes any other food I have ever tried.
It increases the quantity of milk much
beyond dry food, and the quality is liet
ter than that produced from the same
fodder when fed fresh and green from
the field. The process in its results
upon green fodder is not nnlike that by
which sauerkraut is made. Ho much
is this fodder improved and so com
pletely is all waste of fodder prevented
by this process that I think all who try
it with proper facilities will find it mor e
profitable than the present method of
soiling, with tho crops already men
tioned fresh ont from tho field. In adT
• - '
dition to tho fact that the fooder thus
pratorred bun no U'lulnncjr to scour or
bloat cattle, another important advan
tage is gained by thin process.
Tbeae fodder crops may be allowed
to attain a much larger and more snb
atantial growth before cutting than is
practicable when the aamecropa are fed
froth from tho field. During my ab
aence from home during the Hummer of
18711 my foreman had inadvertently
allowed a field of about four acres of
pearl millet to attain HO large ami hard
a growth that my cows wholly rejected
the HtalkH, and would eat only the leaven
when the millet wan offered them green.
Byway of experiment, and without
much confidence in the result, I cut
about one-fourth of the field and filled
one of my pita with it. Tho remainder
of the field wan cured by drying in
shocks in the ordinary way. Thin last
wan found HO nearly worthless for feed
ing dry that it was used for litter in the
barnyards and for covering ice. That
preserved in the pit was opened and
fed in April last. My COWH ate it all,
leaf and stalk, eagerly, without any
loss or waste, and it was fully equal in
value to the same quantity of the best
corn fodder preserved in the pits. 1
have this summer filled one pit with
fodder com, after the stalks had at
tained full growth and the ears were
well formed. Of this corn, when fed
green, my cows rejected fully on?-half
the stalks. 1 have no doubt this corn
fodder, when fed from the pit next
winter or spring, will IK? f< itiml as valu
able as any corn fodder in my pits and
bo eaten up eagerly and entirely cb-an.
Oreat economy may be found in allow -
I ing fodder corn and other fodder crops
| to attain a heavy growth and then cut
: ting them all at once, instead of
j cutting and fceding them piece
| meal in tho mode usually practiced.
' The process of preserving fodder in
pits is exceedingly simple and easily
practiced. The conditions of success
! are these First, the preserving pits
j must be wholly air-tight, so that when
j waled the air cannot come in contact
with the food preserved. Second, the
1 pits should IK? of such form and dimen
sions as will bt-.* facilitate the settling
and compacting of the food in a solid
; mass, and when opened for feeding will
' expose a small a part of the surface t •
the atmosphere as practicable. Third,
the fodder mnst be cut green when in
the best condition, or in bloom, passed
immcdiat'lj through the cutting ma
chine to redm e it to uniform short
lengths of not more than one inch, and
at once be deposited and trod firmly
, into the j it, sufficient salt being us- 1
to render it palatable, but no more. As
fermentation—which will commence at
j once prooe ds and the mass settles,
I the cutting and treading in of fresh fod
' der mast l- continued at intervals of
j from thirty-six to forty-eight hours (de
pending upon tho rapidity with which
fermentation and settling proceed),
until settling has ceased and no more
j can be trod into the pit. Fourth, the
i pit as soon a* completely filled and set
tling has ceased, must lie securely sealed
. to exclude the air wholly and arrest far*
. mentation, and mnst IK? kept so scaled
| until opened for use.

There are farmers who make a prac
tice of planting certain crops each year
at the same day of the month, whether
it is s forward or a backward season.
The better wny, however, is to be gov
erned by tho season. Many farmers

The cheapest meat for the farmer,
says an exchange, is mutton. It may
safely te- said to cost nothing, as the
fleece from a sheep of good breed will
pay for its keeping. Then, for addi
tional profit there is a lamb or two, the
pelt of the animal, if killed at home,
the excellent manure from its drop
pings and the riddance of the pasture
from weeds, to which weeds are de
structive foes. With the exception of
poultry, mutton is also the most con
venient meat for the farmer. A sheep
is easily killed and dressed by a single
hand in an hour, and in the warmest
weather it can be readily disposed of
before it spoils. Science and experi
ence tetli declare it the healthiest kind
of meat.
