Volume 32: gliortilautoto. What She Thomht. Maan showed me her wedding gown Ad her veil of gossamer lace to-night, And, he orange blooms that to-morrow morn Shall fade in her soft hairs golden light. 'But Philip came to the open door ; Like the heart of a wild rose glowed her cheek. And they wandered off, through the garden . paths So blessed that they did not care to speak. 1 wonder how it seems to be loved ; To know you are fair in some one's eyes ; That upon some one your beauty dawns Every day as a new surprise. To know that whether you weep or smile, Whether your mood he grave or gay, Somebody thinks you all the while Sweeter than any flower of May. I wonder what it would be to love ; • That, I think, would be sweeter far— To knew that one out of all.the world Was lord of your life, your king, your star! They talk of love's sweet tumult and pain ; I am not sure that I understand, Though—a thrill ran down to my finger tips, Once when—somebody—touched my hand I wonder what A would be to dream Of a child that might one day be your own, Of the hidden springs of your life a part, Flesh of your flesh, and bone of your bone, Marian stooped one day to kiss A beggar's babe with a tender grace, While some sweet thought,.like a prophecy, Looked from her pure Madonna face. I wonder what it must be to think To-morrow will be your wedding day, . And, in the radiant sunset glow, Down fragrant, flowery paths to stray, As Marian does* this blessed night With Philip, lost in a blissful dream, Can she feel his heart through the silence beat ? Does he see her eyes in the starlight gleam? Questioning thus, my days go on, • But never an answer comes to me ; . All love's mysteries, sweet as strange, Sealed awartrom my life mustje. Yet still I dream, 0 heart of mine ! Of a beautiful city that lies afar ; And there, sometime, I shall drop the mask, And be shapely and fair as others are ! Who Sayings Men are grateful in the same degree that they are resentful. Some people will never learn anything, for a reason, because they understand everything too soon. 'the vanity of human life is like a riv er, constantly passing away, and yet con stantly coming on. Whnever has flattered his friend sac ces_sfally must at once think himself a knave and his friend a fool. That character in conveisation which commonly passes tor agreeable is made up of civility and talsehood. Our passions are like convulsion fits. which, though they make us stronger tur the time, leave us the weaker ever after. Dopes, indeed, are many ; but, of all dupes, there is none so fatally situated as be who fires in undue terror of being duped, Those people only will constantly trouble you with doing little offices for them who :east deserve you should do them any. It is impossible that an ill-natured man can have a public spirit, for how should he love ten thousand men who never loved one ? - When two people compliment each other with the choice of anything,each of them generally gets that which he likes least. To neglect preparation for death is to sleep on our post at a siege, but to admit it in old age is to sleep at an attack. Giving advice is many times the priv ilege of saying a foolish thing one's self. under pretence of hindering another from doing one. 5., ➢Men are to prone to view their own errors and faihnp with indnlgence,whilst they visit thoii.of others with unsparing reprehension.... There should be as little msrit in lov ing a woman for her beauty as in loving a man for his prosperity, both being equally subject to change. Friendship is the cordial of lire, the lenitive of our sorrows, and the multipli er of our joys; the source equally of ani— mation and of repose. If men wonli but hate themselves as they do their neighbors, it would be a good step towards loving their neighbors as they do themselves. Temperance and exercise are easy enough yet, when added to the tranquillity of the mind, they constitute all that is wanting for our happiness. A man shogld never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying, in other words, 'that he is wiser to day than he was yeste!day. A. }heft and certain way to obtain the character of a leaionable and wise man is, whenever any one - tells you hui opin— ion to comply with him. A' brave man thinks no one his super— ior who does him an injury, for he has it then in his power to, make himself su perior to the other p, forgiving it. A person who letoo - nice an observer of the business crowds like one who is too carious in observing the labor of bees will often be,stung for his curiosity,. ' Stich people as aro always watching others are those who are always abroad at other men's bonsei, reforming eveytbing there, while their own runs to ruin. False critics rail at false wits. as quacks and impostors are still optioning us to beware of counterfeits, and decry other cheats only to make more way for their own. ' The world is a thing we must of neees sity either. laugh at or be angry at. If we laugh at it, they say we are proud ; it we are angry at it, they say we are ill natured. Knowledge connot be acquired without pains and application. It is troublesome and like digging far deep waters, but when once you come to the spring they rise up and meet you. Some old - men, by continually praising the time of their youth wouldahnost per- suade us that there were no Idols in those days; but; . nnluckily„ they are left them selves for examples. It is not isolated great deeds which do most to form a character, but small con• terminous acts, touching and blending into one another. The greenness of a field comes not from - trees, bin blades of grass. ..The best way to prove the clearneas of our mind, is by showing its faults; as when a Biream-discovers the dirt at the bottom; it convinces us of _the transpar ono, and purity of the water. tarts and giouothold. Destrnylna Canker Worms In Oreb- Mr. E. F. Curtis, Rockford, 111., writes to the Chicago Tribune as follows : On the twenty fifth of May, last, I published a letter in the Chicago Even ing Journal giving the habits of the can ker worm,-and showing bow it can be ex terminated. I now have the satisfaction of knowing that in very many cases the remedy I recommended Was used and thousands of apple trees that were already covereu with•the small worms were saved. Their foliage was left uninjured, and the tree matured a good crop of fruit ; while orchards in the same vicinity similarly affected, were not so treated, soon looked as though fire had swept through them, the trees as innocent of green leaves as in mid-winter. The object of this letter is (it possible) to convince the public that this remedy is practical, effectual and safe ; and that, with very little effort, this "pest of the orchard" may be blotted out. I quote so mach of my former letters t':; is essential in this connection. The female canker worm rises out of the ground in the spring, as soon as the frost is out, and crawls up the trunk of the trees (as she is wingless,) and deposits her eggs under old bark or in rough places which hatch in May or to the tore part of June into small, looping caterpillars, or so-called measuring worms, which soon spend over the trees, destroying the foil age. Many plans nave been tried to prevent the worm from crawling up the tree, and with some success. But to "wipe them oat" completely, so that there shall not be one of them left to tell the tale, is by the use of Paris green in water, applied with a syringe or hand force pump, a tablespoonful of Paris green to a patent pailful of water. When the worms are - all hatched, as near as can be judged, give the trees a good wetting clown, and if afterward it is discovered that they were not all killed, put on more; but usually one wetting will answer. The liquid will not only destroy the canker worm, hut the myriads of insects too small to be seen by the naked eye, that are preying upon the foliage of trees. One party says that after using it. last year in his orchard, the foliage made such luxuriant growth, and was so dark and green, that it was almost black —which accounts for the fact that apples grown on trees on which these worms hare been killed are almost perfect, larger and fair er than on other trees. It can be used just as sti e felv in the flower-garden, destroying the insects that ii feat the shrubbery, as in the orchard. More Eggs and less Beet It would be wise for farmers to substi tute more eggs for meat in their daily diet. About one-third the weight of an egg is solid nutriment. This rs more than can bg said of meat. " There are no bones or tough pieces that have to be laid aside. A good egg is made up of ten parts shell, sixty parts white, and thirty parts yolk. The white of an egg contrins eighty-six 14\r cent. water, the yolk fifty two per cent. The average weight of an ege is two ounces. Practically an egg is animal food, and vet there is none of the disagreeable work of the butcher neces sary to obtain it. The vegetarians of England use eggs freely, and many of these men are eighty and ninety years 'old, and have been remarkably free from illness. Eggs are best when cooked tour minutes. This takes away the animal taste that is offensive to somg, but does not so harden the white or yolk as to make them hard to digest. An egg, it cooked very hard• is difficult of digestion, except by those with stout stomachs ; such eggs should he eaten with brew:Land masticated very finely. An egg spread on toast isigoil fit for a kiog,. if kings deserve any better food than anybody else, which is doubtful. Fried eggs are less wholesome than boiled ones. An egg dropped into hot water is not only a clean and wEolesome.but a delicious mor seL Most people spoil the taste of their eggs by adding pepper and salt. A little sweet butter is the best dressing. Testing Vegetables. In the blood beet, we allvays look for deep color, smooth, handsome form, small top, and sweet, tender flesh. In — the or ange carrot, small top, smooth root, and deep orange color. In the cabbage, abort stump, large, compact head, with but few loose leaves. In the encumber, straight handsome form, and dark green color.— In the lettuce, large close head, pleasant flavor, with the quality of standing the heat without soon running up to seed. In sweet corn, long ears, very shrivelled ker nels, filled over the end of the cob. In the cantelope melon, rough skin, thick, firm flesh, and high flavor. In the water melon, thick rind and bright red core.— In the onion, thick round shape, deep color, mild flavor, and good keeping qual ity. In the parsnip, small top, long smooth root, sweet flavor. In the pea. low growth, full pods, and large, tender peas, rich flavor. In the scarlet radish, deep color, small top, clear root, and quick, free growth. In the squash, me— dium size, dry, fine-grained, deep-colored flesh. In the turnip, handsome form, small top, and top root, crisp flesh. Man , varieties have the merit only of being the earliest, some are esteemed for their adaptation to a particular season, and others are highly prized for their pro. ductiveness or their excellent quality. A Westchester County (N. Y.) farmer is in the habit of sowing yellow Aberdeen turnips among his corn at the last pad— sage of the cuitiyator, when the plants are about five feet in height.' The tur— nips do not make such growth until the corn is cut, after which they swell rapid ly. The cost is nothing except for seed and harvesting, and coin, being already cut, is not injured when the turnips are gathered in. From one to four hundred bushels of turnips per acre have been thus obtained without lessening the corn crop. Weeds are not tolerated, and the whole strength of the laud is devoted as it should be, to useful crops. It is stated that at the late Smithfield cattle show, at London, Ene., the aver age weights of the ten largest 'steers shown of the breeds "named were as fol lows: Devine 1,712 Da, Herefords 2,205 Dye, Short-horns, 2,401 lbs. The largest steer shown was a five years old Short— horn, weighing 2,950 Ibs.. A Hereford steer weighed 2,346 lie, a - Devon, 2,008 lbs. The nie of mit with guano has fre. quently been recommended as beneficial but we observe that upon the meadowa of Picardy, and also upon the :irrigated grasslands of Lombardy, the mixture has been abandoned on account of ill effect& Mouldv hay, straw or grain, not only injuriously affects the, bowels of horses, but when the dust le /breathed, the lunge and bronchial passages also become great ly irritated.

Mr. and Mrs. Cof f in, who live on Brach street,°sat in their cozy back parlor, he reading his paper and she knitting, the family cat stretched out under the stove and sighed and felt sorry for cats not so well fixed.— It was a happy, contented household, and there was love in his heart, as Mr. Collin put down his newspaper and remarked "I see the whole country is becoming lug excited about spelling-schools." "Well, it's good to know how to spell," replied the wife. "I didn't have thr chance some girls had, but _I pride my self -that I can spell almost any word that comes along." . "I'll see about that," he laughed ; "come now spell buggy." "Humph I that's nothing- :—b-u=g.g.y, buggy," she replied. "Missed the first time—ha ! ha !" he roared, slapping his leg. "Not much—that was right." "It was, eh ? Well, I'd like to see any body get the two g's in buggy, I would." "But it 18 epelled with two g's, and any echool•boy will tell you so," she per- know a darn sight better than that 1" he exclaimed, striking the table with his fist.

"Git down on your knees and beg my pardon, you old wild ca !" he replied. They surged and swayed and struggled and the peaceful cat was struck by the overturning table and had her back bro ken, while the clock fell down and the pictures danced around. The woman finally shut her husband's supply of air off and flopped him, and as she bumped his head up and down on the floor and scattered his gray hair she shouted : "Yon want to get up anotio r spelling— school with me, don't you!" He was seen limping around the yard yesterday, a stocking pinned around his throat, and she had court-plaster on her nose and one finger tied up. He wore the look of a martyr, while she had the bearing of a victor, and from this time out "buggy" will be spelled with two g's in that house.—Detroit Free Press. Believing but but Not tindertutndlng "I will not believe anything but what I understand,"said a self-confident young man in a hotel the other day. • "Nor will I," said another. "Neither will I," chimed in a third. "Gentlemen," said one well known to me, who Ira on a journey and who sat close by,::•do I understand you correctly, that yon•wtll not believe anything you don't understand ?" "I will not," said one ; and so said each of the trio. "Well." said the stranger, "in my ride this morning I saw some geese in a field eating grass. Do you believe that ?" "Certainly," said the three unbeliev ers. "I also saw pigs eating grass. Do you believe that ?" "Of course," said the three. "And I also saw sheep and cows eat grass. Do you believe that ?" "Of course," they again replied. "Well, but the grass which they bad formerly eaten had, by disgestion, turn ed to feathers on the backs of the geese, to bristles on the backs of the pigs, to wool on the sheep,and on the cows it had turned to hair. Do you believe that, gentlemen "Certainly," they replied. "Yes, you believe it, he rejoined ; "but do not understand it ?" They were confounded and eilent as evidently ashamed, ae they well migh be. The Question of Identity. The Oakney Herald gives an amusing account of an incident which happened in the parish church of Birsay some time ago. „During the singing of the first psalm a goose entered the church, and quietly "waddled" up the passage towards the pulpit, just as the precentor bad got out of the tune and almost come to a stand-still--a not very unusual occur rence. The minister, observing the puce, leaned over the side of the pulpit and addressing the church officer, said : "R—, put out the goose." That functionary, not observing the presence of the feathered parishioner,and supposing that the minister's direetiot, had reference to the percentor, marched up to that individual, and, to the no small amusement of the Meagre congre— gation, collared him, saying at the same time: "Come out o' that,, fellow I" ' A colporteur opened the door of an Irishman's shanty in New Orleans, and, putting in ins bead, in a pious tone ask ed the owner,of the domicile, who hap pened to be,in at the time, "if he would accept a tract of the Holy Land," wean • ing, of course, an essay on that interesting portion of the world. "Yes, be jabers," was the reply of the Hiber niam,"a houl_section, if you give a title deed. But I should like to -know if there le, much of it prarie, or if new settlers 'ere subject to the 'agur tbar." "It seems to me I have seen your phys iognomy somewhere before," said a New York swell ton stranu. ' er• whom he met the other day, "but I can't imagine *here "Very likely," replied the other. "I have been the k'eper, 44 a prison fur the last twenty years." Mcellaneous. Three Points for Consideration.
