Robert Hev, p;ebendary of Litch field, vicar of Relper, Rerbysbire, sends the following description of the conduct 01 a bull te.xier .e Clay Cross, to the Animal World: She was rejoicing over a litter of pups, attending to them with a moth erly care, caressing them and show ing for them much anxiety. The owner of this interesting family, accompanied by a few friends, t-aie to look at them. The fierceness of the mother was at once developed, and manifested by Impetuous growl ings, snarls and barking3. She would evidently die in defense of Lcr offspring. Rut tbe master said, "I can take every one of the pups away from the mother and she Eball not hurt me." He drew near and ap proached Jis hand toward one of the pnp3. The mether flew at it and seized it in her mouth.- He did not attempt to withdraw it until she re leased it. He proceeded to lay bold of one of the pups. She seized his band again and held it fast, but with out biting it. Ry degrees be with drew one of the little creatures. The same process was repeated until every pup was removed and the mother was bereft of all her offspring. She was the picture of misery. She looked up piteously iu her master's face and howled with an exceeding bitter cry. The appeal could not be resisted. He replaced the little ones in their nest, and rejoiced to witness tho ca resses and gratification of tho moth er. Rut his surprise and that of his friends was great when he sajy her take them up one by ono in her mouth, and bring and lay them down at his feet. He waited to see what she meant, and was soon convinced that she wished to express her entire confidence ia her master. She laid her dear ones at his feet, one by one, with the assurance that he would take care of them -with affection eejaal to, if not greater than her own, She then returned to her nest, now empty, lifted up her head into the air, and gave vent to several piteous cries, until her little ones were once moro restored to her. It is impossi ble to misunderstand her impulse. She had at Grst misdoubted her mas ter, but uow she trusted him. She brought them of Ler own accord aud placed them at his disposal, with full confidence in his love. Itemed j lor t ntobnge vru.

The bran is simply dusted over the infested cabbage as soon as the worms make tb.eir appearance. If tbe worms are very thick, about a handful of bran is reemired to each cabbage head and sometimes it is necessary to go over the plants the second time. A hun dred weight of bran is sufficient for an acre. It must be applied when the worms are yoang. When they arc lull grown or very strong, it does not appear lo affect them. The buck wheat flour is sifted upon them by means of a sieve, in the evening or in the morning when the dew is on the plants. If one application does not destroy the worms a second should be made. It ispropablo that wheat flour, fine Indian meal or any other pulverulent farinaceous substance would have the same ef fect.

Children- Tlltfr K1HL1.I BE t SKFtU The energy that some children manifest in mischievous pranks may be niado to subserve usefal and in structive purposes. Little odds and ends of employment may be given them work suited to their small cap abilities may be assignqd them and under judicious directions and consid erate encouragement their little heads and hands can accomplish much, and that gladly. The brigLt little ones who- wo lid "help" should not be re pelled with harsh word?, but some simple task should be devUed for their occupation, and some trifling thing so very great to them should be tbe reward of its performance. Aa a general rule, give your chil dren something to iU. A daily em ployment of some sort, wijl exercise their minds healthfully, aud develop elements of usefulness and self-reliance which it ay prove incalculably valuable to their manhood or woman hood. Miserable is the plea urged by some that they "have not the time" to look after their children. No such pretext can divest, them of the grave responsibilities which the having of children imposes. ' lie laws of God and of humanity de mand of parents the best care and training for their children they eau ing into exercise. How many poor wretches there are taxing society with their maintenance, who' owe their worthlessncss and sins to the negligence of their parents ia devel oping and directing good natural en dowments for lives of industry and independence. Large firmness in a child is a good thing ; it contributes to steadiness of thought and deed. Large Eelf-esteem is desirable, ia that it considers the sense of personal worth and dignity. Large approba- tivcness is most serviceable in its restraining aad stimulating minis trations. Large destructiveness is a good heritage; under proper control it contributes courage, boldness and ogression to the character. Large acquisitiveness, rightly trained, sup plements indastry with economy and thrift. Rut . such qualities ia chil dren need tbe guidance of a discreet parent Mismanagement, neglect, easily lead to their perversion and the ruin of a life, which, otherwise, might Lave been a splendid success.

It contains eighteen poeti cal inscriptions, in as many different languages, and a likeness of General Tajlor, iu which outlines of tbe face and whole person are formed of writ ten portions . fthe biography and sen timents of the deceased. His hair is composed of the words, so .disposed as at little distance to appear quite natural s "In the battle Geld amidst the sound of cannon, drums and trumpets, the hurrahs of the siege and tbe sighs of the wounded, my locks became whit ened." . . The eyes, viz: "My glance, was ever forward to the Father of Heaven, and for the Republic." The nose is composed of the fal lowing words: "1 breathed the air of liberty iu any other I could uit exist." The mouth is composed from his last words: "I have always endeav ored to d my duty. I am not afraid to die." The neek: "Not proud, only iu be ing a son of the Itf public." The shoulders: "With pleasure. 1 have borne the great duties with which the nation has so greatly hon ored me." . The rest of the portrait is filled up in a similar manner, and surrounded by likenesses of Washington, Tell, Frederick Rarbarossa, Alexander the Great, Draco and others. The whole is signed by the 1'rcsident and mem ber of both Houses of Congress, and ia to be presented to the , widow of General Taylor. When will there be only twenty five letters in the alphabet ? . When U and I are made one.- The Value of Life In Knisln. Tho correspondent of the London says : Last month the military tribu nal of Warsaw tried a case which in England would have produced an im mense sensation, and which is well worth noticing for the extraordinary state of feeling which it reveals in society. A staff captaia, one Karpoff, was indicted for the willful murder of a rural magistrate named Kozincnko. He bad gone to the village where the judge was stationed, placed mroseir on the road where tue juagc s car riage must pass, and deliberately shot bini without warning, at the risk of killing the secretary by his side in stead. Tho vrounded man got out, Karpoff fired again, rolled w ith his victim into a ditch, and when be saw that life was gone prefesr ed his heart I lighter, and went to give Limsclt up. He was sentenced to Siberia, but the court will intercede with the Empe ror, so tbat Lc v. ill only be confined in a fortress for two years, without depredation or Joss of any rights. Now this savage tragedy and ab surdly mild p'inishmentarc tho result of that antagonism between the mili tary men and the civilians which still characterizes Russian life and of Russian military views about duel ing. The original cause of quarrel, or rather the pretext, was a misera ble question of a chair for a lady at a ball. Tho two men bad long hated each other, and tbe civilian seems to have been in the habit of saying bit ter things about war and officers. Explanations followed the ball scene, and the. affair seemed ended, the judge disclaiming offense. Karpoff then id told that Kozmenko goes about with a dog saiel to have fright ened him (Karpoff) out of demanding satisfaction at the late interview. Thi3 report leads to a scene in a pub lic garden, during which the ollicer gives tho lie direct, and receives a blow on the cheek. Of course a duel must follow. It appears that Kozicn ko never really refused to light, but that Korpoff, ttrough the fault of one of the seconds, thought he did. These details arc unimportant. The offi cers sign a round-robin exhonorating Karpoff from all staia on his honor, and the evidence 6hows him to have been a studious, quiet living, promis ing officer, yet he believed that his honor required him to murder Kozin endo, and those in command over him evidently thought that he could not act otherwise. Such is the present state of public opinion about dueling iu Russia. Among the officers of the guard at the present moment there is aa associ ation the members of which have bound themselves not to refuse a chal lenge, and to my knowledge a very high personage indeed, expressed his approval of this undertakidg to fight, and his conviction that it tended to prevent disputes among those who bad signed it. Relative Vnlne of Mnnnre. The New England Homestead re ports the fol.owing n bavmg been said at a recent meeting of the Frank- I'm Harvest Club: John W. Hubbard, of Northamp ton, who had had a good deal of ex perience in market gardening, said he was no friend to commercial fertiliz ers, but preferred manure for every crop. It should be fine, and if they couldfford it, he would not use any until it had been stored or composted two years, mixing some ingredient to keep it from beating. If he was obliged to buy, he would prefer to pay ten dollars per cord for stable manure than to invest in commercial fertilizers. Spinach, lettuce and cel ery must have rapid growth to get the eood duality. His method of cultivating celery is to mako a trench twelve inches deep, and fill up six inches deep with fine manure before setting tbc plants, and to fill up with earth as fast as they grow. He al ways sold it in tho fall, and has had no success In keeping over the win ter. Edwin II. Judd.of South Iladley, is another extensive market garden er, but says the business did not pay last year as formerly. As to lertiliz ers he objected to mixing fish and ashes together. Ry an experiment with potatoes, he obtained double the crop, if they were used separate ly. It costs a good deal to find out which is the best fertilizer for a par ticular crop. . He had not much faith in anything but fish, and pure Peru vian guano; the latter was important as a "priming" or to stimulate the crop for an early start. Two Kind of Love. During the revival services the other evening, a gentleman observed that one of Mr. Hammond's hand somest and most energetic lady as sistants was being vigorously hugged by a young man during the singing. When the inquiry meeting was com menced, the, young lady approached the gentleman who had been watch ing her, and asked him in a meek, plaintive voice: '.Do you love Jesus :" "I fear I don't love Jesus much as you do the boys," the gentleman. The fair damsel was not certed a bit, and she curled pretty mouth and said. half as replied discon cp her "Dob'I yoa wish you were one of the boys?" Vallejo, (Cal.) Indepen dent. The Truthful Boy. A good little boy out west uade-r-took to couie the George Washington aa bis mother ia this way. He cut off the cat's head with the traditional hatchet, and then hid the defunct feline in tho meal barrel. When the lady went for meal to make the "hoe cake" for the frugal morning repast she discovered the cat and interviewed her little son. He said: "I did it, mother, with my little hatchet but I'll be swizzled if I can tell the whole truth about this little aflair." Now most mothers would have kissed that brave, truthful lad on his noble brow and kept right on using the meal out of that barrel just tbe same; but this one didn't. She said. "Come across my lap, my son, come acrsss my lap." He came, and fW a while there rose a cloud of dust that effectually hid the sua from view, and the old lady now sports goggles. The good little boy had peppered his pants. While on the Peninsula during the war, an officer came across a pri vate belonging to one of the most predatory companies of the Ninth Ilzgimeut with the lifeless bodies of a goose and her, tied together by the leg3, dangling from his mosket. "Where did you steal those, you ras cal?" "Faitb, I was marching along with Color Sergeant Maguire, and the goose bad luck to it, came out and hissed the American flag." "But the hen, . sir; tow about the tea?" "The bin bless ye, was ia ba'd com pany, and laying egg3 for the ribols." Hew Advertisements. JOHN V.
