Only a week ago the warmth and glow
Of sweetest summer time ;
Only a week ago the bad and blow
Of some fair tropic clime.
Only a week ago, and now the glow
Of fervid beet haa turned
To wintry snow, and sharp winds blow
Where tropic splendors burned.
Only a week ago ah, rery low
My cherished bads are tying ;
So low, so low. I do not know
If they are dead or dying.

Their beauty smirched with earth ;
So low. so kw only God's breath can blow
Them back to fresher birth.

Climbers aad Shade.
In bouses devoted to the cultivation
of decorative plants, pi-own either for
for their flowers or the beauty of their
leaves, the effect is much improved by
the use of climbing plants trained to
the rafters in the usual manner, but
elegant as these unquestionably are,
and much as they contribute to hide
the objectionable straight lines of the
wood or ironwork, the extent to which
they are allowed to cover the roof must
be very limited unless there is a dispo
sition to sacrilice the health and ap
pearance of every plant occupying the
body of the house that requires fnll
light in which to grow. No greater
mistake can be made than allowing
roof climbers an unlimited amount ot
room in plant houses. Indeed, in the
case of amateurs (says a correspondent
in the English Harden), who may pos
sess only a single bouse, and who keep
this entirely devoted to the growth of
dowering plants, with perhaps a few
tine leaved ones, the matter should be
well considered Ixitore any climbers are
introduced at all ; for even with the
most spare growers that can be so em
ployed, those that ocenpy the body of
the house will be injured to some ex
tent. During the middle of the day, in
bright weather, the climbers will pos
sibly do little barm, and to plants in
rlower they may eveu be an advantage
by breaking the force of the sun's
rays; but lor every hoar they are of
benefit to plants underneath them,
there occur a dozen in which they do
serious injury, and that in proportion
to the extent in which they obstruct
the light, if amateurs use them in
houses of the descriDtion under con
sideration, they should employ only
the most spare growers, such as will
furnish but a moderate number of pen
dant shoots, avoiding all strong, rampant-growing
kinds; for although it is
easv to keen the latter within bounds
by a free use of the knite, yet this
work- aoes not always receive attention,
or there is a reluctance to cut away the
shoots.
The more light the house affords,
fioui the principle upon which it is con
structed, and the favorable position in
which it stands, the more roof climbers
may be allowed. Uunug bright sunny
weather in the su-jimer mouths, most
flowering plants will last longer in
bloom if they are shaded in the middleof
the day ; but nothing is more common
than to see this so uiuch overdone that
the whole are seriously injured by the
obstruction of light through the mate'
rial employed being too thick, or the
use of hxeu shading. here either ot
these evils exists, it is impossible for
the plants to remain long in a satisfac
tory state. It should always lie Inirne
iu mind that almost every plant which
we cultivate under glass receives in its
native country considerably more light
than our climate attbids; therefore,
wherever bliuds are used they should
never be allowed to remain down when
the suu does not shine upon the house.
Even in the case of ferns (with the ex
ception of tiie filmy species and a few
that exist naturally in shady situa
tions), they thrive much better fully
exposed to light when the sun is not
upon them.
Idle Ladles.
It is a pity that so many young ladies
look upon domestic service with marked
contempt. Many of our social ditlicul
ties would tie almost entirely mastered
if yoang ladies would consent to become
lady-helps in their own homes. Notli
ing can be more intolerable than the
mismanagement and discomfort to be
found in countless households, where
there are plenty of grown-up daughters,
who have really but little to do but
grumble at the dreariness ot their lives,
and tret themselves into permanent ill
health. Perhaps they take sntlicient in
terest in the housekeeping to wonder
contemptonsly bow their mother can
le troubled with such ineflicient ser
vants, "creatures who cannot even
make palatable coffee, or keep the sil
ver bright- They have no patience with
the shortcomings of the overworked
housemaid, from whom they expect as
much attendance as if she had only a
lady s maid s duties to perform. How
ever unreasonable their demands, they
expect any servant in the house to le at
all times in readiness to answer them.
Half the young women one meets sink
into a state of seiui-irabecility, from
idleness and want of interest in their
surroundings. From -mere thoughtless
ness and iguorance they grow up exact
ing and unreasonable. From want of
active exercise they become the prey of
hysteria, dyspepsia and spine coiu
plaiut. They ill marry any one who
wdl have them, simply because they
are so bored that any change is wel
come. They make bad Tvives, because
they have never learned the rudiments
of domestic economy. When the un
fortunate mother of such daughters
allows herself to be persuaded, against
her will, 10 add a lady help to the es
tablishment, the height of absurdity is
reached. Four or live common place,
stcpid gills may lounge about the
house one with a piece of soiled
fancy-work, another playing snatches
of dance music, a thiid reading
French novels on the sofa, while per
haps a pretty, graceful lady lays the
tire, dusts the room, and endeavors
probably in vain to bring order iuto

A new and amusing cure for love has
just been found effective in a fashion
able Parisian quarter. The eon of a
wealthy nobleman became enamored
of his father's chambermaid and de
termined to marry her. The aristo
cratic papa opposed, but moved at last
by the despair of his son, gave his con
sent with the provisio that the smitten
youth would go to sea twelve months
before the marriage, shortly after
his departure, the father, who had pre
viously observed a stoutness and fat
tening in the young intended, took her
under his especial charge, gave her the
most nourishing fool aud wines,
forbade her to take exercise as unbe
coming in his future daughter, and in
fact, stall fed her to such an extent,
that when the enamored swain re
turned from his year's voyage, he was
horrified to Mud, instead of the slen
der, elegant girl he had left, an
immense fat woman, large enough to
put in a museum. Of course, the ruse
was successful, and the unfortunate
victim of good cheer has been pen
sioned off.
Perseveraaee vs. Dittiealtles.
All the performances of human art at
which we' look with praise or wonder
are instances of the resistless force of

distant countries are united with canals.
If a man were to compare a single
stroke ot a pickax, or ot one Impression

cessantly continued, in time surmount
the greatest difficulties, and mountains
are leveled and oceans bounded by the
slender force of human beings.

ACUCCLTCIAL.
Fertility. The fertility of any soil
depends entirely on but two or three
conditions. These are natural or ac
quired richness, moisture, and a due
amount of warmth conseqaeut upon a
natural or artificially produced loose
ness of texture. In these vast prairie
regions, almost entirely devoid of
hard-pan subsoil, we bare the two first
and easily produce the third by the
simple process of cultivation. This
happy combination is the secret of our
fertile valleys and tablelands.
In the eastern and some of the mid
dle States, where the shallow soil rests
on an imperious hard-pan, -and where
long-continual cultivation has nearly
exhausted It of its food constituents,
the subject of maintaining or restoring
its lost fertility is every day increasing
in importance. To accomplish this
vital work calls for a perfect under
standing of the principles involved in
general, and the necessities of the case
in particular.
Anions the general principles we
may note the following: A soil may
be filled with all the requisites, but if
they are cither naturally insoluble, or
only so for want of moisture, that sou
is as barren as a gravel-bank. Again,
a soil may be well-constituted, but so
shallow that it only furnishes soluble
food during spring, and becomes dried
up by summer's heat, and is to' all in
tents barren in time of the greatest
need of the crop. If such a soil is un
derlaid by a hard-pan entirely imper
vious to water, it is too wes il. tne
spring, because the excess cannot sink ;
and too dry in summer, because the
moisture in the earth below cannot
rise by capillary attraction through the
hard-pan. Again a naturally compact,
heavy soil may also be a rich, but being
cold cannot impart its vaiuesuiucieuuy
earlv to lie nrotiublv tilled.
In all these instances 1 refer only to
soils containing naturally the requi
site amount and kinds of plant food.
Where land is poor, from whatever
other cause, manuring by some one or
more of the many modes now in vogue
will be indicated in addition to the
methods necessary to counteract the
shortcomings, of soils holding a full
supply of nourishment.
Xew Varieties of Potatoes. It re
nin res time, patience, ar.d perseverance
to raise potatoes from the seed ; but if
you succeed in producing a good vari
ety it will pay you well for your
trouble. Kaise your own seed. Choose
fully matured, medium sized potatoes,
of the earliest and best varieties; cut
them tiausversely in the middle; plant
only the seed end, with the eyes up
ward; plant in drills about tnirty
inches apart, placing the pieced about
ten inches apart in the drills; putting
the varieties (one or the varieties must
lie seed bearing) alternately. Planted
in this wav I have had lion seed bear
ing varieties, such as peach blow, early
rcse, etc., bear seed balls. Cultivate in
the usual way. When the seed balls
are formed, pinch off from each vine
all but two or three balls. In the fall,
when the vines are mostly dead, gather
the balls, press out the seeds and dry
them iu the sun; when they are thoroughly-
dry. put them where they will
keep dry. Iu the spring sow the seeds
either in glass covered boxes or in the
open air. When the plants are about
two inches high, plant them in drills
about two feet apart, and about two
feet apart in the drills. Cultivate them
well. Wheu the vines are mostly dead
dig the potatoes, each hill by itself.
Reject all very small, ill shaped or un
healthy tubers, lw likewise the second

Fall CrrrixGs. The fall season is
much better one for taking off cuttings
than anv other, and there Is a large
number of plants that can be propa
gated in this wav. I he currant, goose
berry, quince aud the grape among
fruits; and the privet, honeysuckles,
wiegela, forsythia, mock-orange and
many other things among ornamental
shrubbery. Indeed there are so many
things among these hardy plants, tc,
that will grow well in this way, that
it is much easier to give a list of things
that will not grow from fall cuttings,
rather than the things that will. The
ditliculty is that they will draw out of
the ground by freezing and thawing.
1 o avoid this the cuttings neea not be
set out at once in the ground, but they
may be tied into bundles, each after its
kind, and buried under ground until
spring, and then put out into rows
where thev may grow. Of course they
must be looked atter early in the spring
or the buds will sprout and rot. In
sandy land, or earth that keeps good
hold of tilings, cuttings may be put in
at once.
A Good Feed for IIorses. A favor
ite and rather a new kind of mash for
horses is coming iuto use, composed of
two quarts of oats, one of bran, and
half pint of flaxseed. The oats are first
placed iu the stable-bucket, over which
is placed the linseed ; add boiling water,
then the bran, covering the mixture
with an old rug, and allowing it to
thus rest for five hours; then stir the
mass well up. The bran absorbs while
retaining the vapor, and the linseed
binds the oats aud bran together. A
greater quantity of flaxseed would
make the preparation too oily and less
relished. One feed per day is sutticieut;
it is easily digestible, and is specially
adapted to young animals, adding to
their volume rather than to their height
giving substance to the frame.

Smoke Consu mer. The most recent
device of this kind aims to acc
the result in a maimer more simple aud
ellicieut than by any previous arrange
ment. A one-half inch steam-pipe runs
along the forward wall of the furnace,
some tweuty inches above the grate-
bars, and from this transverse pipe-
project inwardly a number ot snort
pipes, terminating in a small oriBce
each of these being rurrounded by a
"sleeve" of larger pipe, t-inch in dia
meter.
The annular space between the in-
teiior of the larger and the exterior of
the smaller pipes commuuicates with a
tine oieniug with the outer air in the
side of the furnace. When a pressure
of twenty pounds per square inch has
been attained, steam is turned into the
smaller pipe. Its escape from the ori
fices acts upon the air-tilled annular
space, much as the steam in the (jitl
ard injector does upon the feed-water,
and, drawing it rapidly through the
pipe, projects air aud steam into the
furnace.
The heat of the tire decomposes the
steam, aud at the same time the carbon-laden
smoke is utterly consumed
and converted into a bright, clear
tiauie that lights up the iuteiior of the
furnace ; this operation is observable
through a mica door in the rear of the
furnace. Fixing the eye on the top of
the smoke-stack and noting the mo
ment when tha steam is turned into
theconsumer, the inky torrentof smoke
is first seeu rolling skyward ; with the
hiss of the escaping steam these clouds
are dissipated like fog before the sun,
and in a few secouds only a faintly de
picted vapor is wreathing upward
from the stack. The decrease iu the
consumption of fuel by this consumer
is twenty per cent.

The sulphate of lime has no effect on

no more than pure sand. The differ

of lime is that the latter is sulphurous
acid combiued with lime, and the for

s:inin base. The difference between
sulphurous and sulphuric acid is that
the latter contains twice as rnucu oxy

To IhvKite of Curculios.X corres

he kept a plum tree from curculios by
sprinkling the ground under the tree

chickens to scratch and search. The
meal was strewn every morning, from
the time the trees blossomed until the
fruit was large enough to be out of
danger. The consequence was that
the fowls picked up the curculios with
the meal, and the tree, being saved
from the presence of the insects, was
wonderfully fruitful.

Warm Baths. Many erroneous no
tions prevail respecting the use and
properties of the warm bath. To many
persons the Idea of submersion in warm
water on a Summer's day would be pre
posterous. But if it be rationally con
sidered, it will be found that the warm
bath may be taken with equal or per
haps greater benefit in the Summer
than in the Winter. During the hot
weather the secretions in the skin are
much increased in quantity, and con
sequently a greater necessity exists
that it should be kept perfectly free
from obstructions. Another prevailing
error respecting the warm bath is tbat
it tends to relax and enervate the body,
for experience has sufficiently proved
the fallacy of this opinion, and many
physicians have prescribed the use to
patients laboring under debility from
disease, none of whom experience such
effects, but have all felt invigorated and
mostly restored to health and strength.
Many persons are deterred from using
the warm bath, especially in winter,
from fear of catching a cold ; but that
fear is groundless, for it has been found
that the warm bath, by increasing the
circulation on the surface of the body,
renders it more capable of withstanding
the effects of cold than it otherwise
would have been.
Hasty Eatlno. Let it be remembered
that the best cookery of the best viands
in the world is comparatively thrown
away, in its health-giving and nourish
ing qualities, if the food be swallowed
hastily and in lumps.
There are some supremely virtuous
beings who adopt a scornful disregard
of what and how they eat and drink,
and, pretending to be above such mun
dane considerations, bring themselves
to a chronic state of ill health, which it
takes years of strict regime to recover
from. No; you must linger over the
taste of your food as vou liuger over the
smell of a flower. Nature demands of
you this concession to health, and there
cau be nothing more sinful in indulg
ing the sense of taste than the sense of
smell.
Having swallowed your dinner in
lumps, the usual custom is to endeavor
to counteract the discomfort produced
by washing it down, and rendering it
soluble by huge draughts of fluid. This
is merely adding insult to the injury
you have done your stomach, and is
resented accordingly. Copious draughts
are just as injurious as large quickly de
voured mouthtuls, and drink should be
taken as cautiously aud slowly as food.

How to Clean Marble Top Fcrxi

housekeepers who have marble top fur

of gum arabicis an excellent absorbent,
and will remove dirt,&c, from marble.
lhe receipt is from the Scientific Ameri

stated by that paper: First. Brush
the dust off the piece to be cleaned, then
apply with a brush a good coat of gum
arable, about the consistency of thick
office mucilage, expose it to the sun or
dry wind, or both. In a short time it
will crack and peel off. If all the gum
should not peel off, wash it with clean
water aud a clean cloth. Of course, if
the first application does not have the
desired euect it should be applied again
Second. Make a paste with soft soap
and whiting, wash the marble with it.
aud then leave a coat of paste upon it
lor two or three days. Afterward wash

defeat. I do believe that the "once-in-a-while"
things have ruined more bod
ies, and more souls too, than all the
other things put together. Moreover,
the "never" way is easy, and the "once-in-a-while"
way is hard. After yon
have once made up your mind "never"
to do a certain thing, that is the end of
it. if you are a sensible person. But if
you only say, "This is a bad habit," or
"This is a dangerous indulgence; I
will be a little on my guard and not do
it too often," you have put yourself in
the most uncomfortable of all posi
tions: the temptation will knock at
yonr door twenty times a day, and yon
will have to be righting the same old
battle over and over again as long as
you live. This is especially true in re
gard to the matter of which I have
lieen speaking to you, the care of the
body. When yon have once bud down
to yourself the laws you mean to keep,
the things yon will always do, and the
things you will "never" do. then your
life arranges itself in a system at once,
and you are not interrupted and hin
dered as the uudecided people are, by
wondering what is best, or stfe, or
wholesome, or too unwholesome, at
different times. St. Xiehola.
A Jlappu Heart. X little boy came

him. it was a very handsome arrow,
and it was the pride of his heart just
then, so 1 did not wonder to see his lip
quivering, aud the tears come to his
eyes.
"I'll try to fix it, darling," I said,
"lint I am afraid I cannot do it."
He watched me anxiously for a few
moments, and then said, cheerfully :
- "Never mind, if you can't fix it 111

very pretty toy ; but careless little
Fred tipped the lid too far back, and
broke it off. He burst out with a cry
of iright; but little Minnie, with her
own eyes full of tears, said :
"Never mind, Freddie ; just see what
a running little cradle the top will
make."
Dear little Minnie went to live with

A Xew I'm far Railway Feaeea.
A writer in the Harden describes a
mode of turning railway fences to ac
count, which is in use in Belgium, aud
the liue between Brussels and Aix-la-Chapelle.
The fences consist of wood
en posts four and a half feet high,
connected by four lines of wire, across
which four long, thin sticks are tied
obliquely. In front of aud between
each post are planted cordon apples
and pears, which are trained aloug the
oblique sticks. "The trees," says the
writer, "appeared healthy, and likely
to be very productive.
It is a little surprising that no at
tempt should have been made to grow
either fruit or vegetables on the tracts
of land, in the aggregate so large,
which are occupied by railways, cut
tings and embankments. It is true
that there would be a certain percent
age of loss from stealing; bat consider
ing bow little accessible a railway
often is, except from the line, and how
likely the thief would be to be detected
by some of the many persons in the
employ of the company, there is no
reason to suppose that tne percentage
would be greater than in many orchards
and market gardens.
Fruit and vegetables are not always
grown under the eye of the owner, yet
no one is deterred from planting trees
or sowing seed by the knowledge tbat
some of them may be stolen; and we
do not see why land at the side of a
railway should present greater tempta
tions to thieving than any ordinary
field. At all events, as the land now
produces nothing, the experiment
wonld be worth trying. Pall Mall

ftnA t9 itiA secretaries of the Japan
ese mission which visited Corea early
in this year to negotiate mo ireaiy w
tween tho two countries gavo on his
return an account of the condition of
Corea, so far as he could observe it on
its southwestern coast, and in the
neighborhood of Kok'wa. The house
of the common people are little better
than dog-kennels. Though Kok wa is
a hue place, the honses are only six or
seven teet high. Honses in Corea are
warmed by means of a horizontal pas
sage extending under the whole length
of the door, a lire is lit at one end. and
the smoke goes oat at the other. Dried
fish and persimmons, tobacco, aud straw
sandals, are apparently the chief ob
jects of trade. The government bouses
are built of brick and recognizable at a
glance. In respect of conveniences they
are very deficient; and for like reasons
! tiii hi if nuula are HltllV. The City
walla are about live miles long, only
from two to three feet high, partly oi
mud and stone, and partly of brick; the
gates have fallen out of repair. The
Coreans dress in garments nudyed and
unornamented, and which once were
white, a long sleeve is the badge of
higher rauk. Tho head-dress is a
large round hat fastened by strings
passing under the cuin. and said to be
made of horse hair. Custom exacts
that the hat be placed on the head when
greeting a friend. The hair is worn
long, and fastened with pins into a
bunch at the top of the head.
The women are said to be dressed
something like Europeans, but the Jap
anese did not see oue; the women are
excluded from the public gaze, and it
is said that even among the Coreans
themselves visitors are not permitted to
see the wife. The writer of this ac
count thinks it probable that there may
be much mineral wealth in Corea, but
he says that only the iron mines are
worked. Copper, gold and silver, if
such metals exist, are yet untouched.
This, he thinks, may have arisen from
a notion that their discovery wonld be
prejudicial to the nation. He believes
the soil to be poor. There appear to be
no old trees, the demand for fuel being
such tbat they are not allowed to grow
to maturity. The cattle aud pigs are
very fat, and the hides of the former
are among the exports of the country.
The horses are very small, and only
about the third of the size of an Arab
horse.
The chief drink of the people is an
infusion of dried ginseng or giuger and
dried orange peel. Goma of excellent
quality grows in the country, and its
oil is largely use. I in' cooking, aud also
for lamp fuel. The Coreans eat more
meat and fat stuff than we do. but not
fish; the beef and pork are excellent.
When the treaty was signed we were
entertained with a repast, at which
music was performed. There was a
sort of confectionery made of sugar,
dour, aud oil. cat into small, square
pieces; a great heap of boiled eggs; a
pudding of dour, goma, and honey;
dried peisimmons; pine seeds; houey
like food covered with roasted rice,
painted red aud m hrTe; macaroni soup
with fowl; boiled legsof pork; aud with
everything wine of about the potency
of Japauese sake of inferior quality;
but the wine usually drank by the
Coreans is a strong spirit. The dishes
were of .earthenware; the table was
square, rudely made and painted with
persimmon juice. Oiled paper was used
for a tablecloth, and the wiue was
served from copper vessels. London
