indeed, her Lee did resemble the pip:

had taken.
She was married at the appQinted time
and settled within Ppeaking distance of
her father's door.
From the day she left what was now
my home the chill which had perhaps ,
become habitual to my husband seem- .
ed to increase; and I begun to • see at
once that I was powerless - to bring
either warmth or light into. the life
which I must endnre, though it was al
ready growing lutolerableto me. I did
not mean that it should lie*),; but his
manner froze and frightened me;. and'

Was already .my tender friend, I could
not have endured it for a month.
The tact was our natures were antag
onistic. The north with its bitter cold
bad been his heart's mother; the south
with its warm luxuriance, had been
mine. ,We • were totally unlike; and
-though this fact had been the chief at
traction which had drawn me toward
him at first, it was growing to be the
wall of separation between os fast
enough now.
His uudemoustrativeness made me
suspicions. I could not believe in an.
affection which gave no palpable sign of
its existence.. I hungered forthe touch
of his lips, for the_pressureill Ids' hand,
for anything which would mike me be
lieve that his heart, if he possessed one
was mine. Such tokens did not come
and at last after waiting until hope had
died,a natural death, the : longing in my
heart turned to dislike if not hatred.
At this time my husband's youngest
brother returned from a foreign tour of
several 'years duration, and made his
home with us. With his entrance came
also-the demon, clothed like an angel of
light, to whisper enticing words into
my too-willing ear.
I looked into 'the mau'a face, and
without either of is intending to be
more than a friend to each other, that
invisible something whibh binds souls
past separstiou flashed from his inner
heart to mine and our fate was revealed.
We were friends truly, in that we kept
intact the outward honor of each; but
we had better have been the Most cruel

INVESTIGATIONS AS PO THE AGES of :TUE
PATRIARCHS.
On a fall examination of thoquestion
of patriarchal longevity the disparity of
their ages to those-of biter times disap r s
pears. A very aligLt error. in the trans-,
lation of the Selma* numbers had lea
to all this apparent disparity. The age
of the.antediluvigns was not to eiceSd
120 years. -Genesis. vi., 3 'And the
Lord said, My spirit shall not AlWayS
strive with man, for that be is also flesh,
yet his days shall be 120 years." This
was the regular good old age of men,
with speck! variations, both befoka and
for pome time after. the drys of Abra
ham. -
In reading the concrete numbers the
Hebrews give the Urge numbers first,
Ifiziety and seven for 97, testy

error in all similar eases. 'Adam liFed
.130 years, and begat.'a son,' etc. This
is Correct, accordieg to tile role. 4eth
was born:when Adam was 130' ; years
old, and was.his Net child. But if ;the
rule wore hero reversed, as it- is in the
authorized version, in the fifth verse, it
Would read thus: [Adam lived 3,000
yetrs and begat a son! ' Thi* shocked
.the conscionsness of the ehristian
translator, and he was. . driven , to the
true rule of the HebreObses itkcasei of
concrete numbers:"
'ln the fifth verse we have the force of
the violated rule, thns: 'Aqd all the
days that Adani lived were 930 years,
`.nd he died!' A. V., r The..true reading
of the rule would be 'and all the days
of Adam, which he lived, where a hub
dred years, and. thirty and nine yeativ,
and he died,' making the entire age of
Adam 130 years, instead of 930 years.
It will be seen, on examination,, Oat
concrete numeral adjectives in,Hebrew,
as in other languages, agree in number
with their norms! In the case cited in
the A. V. - the 'nine is made to agree with
hundred in the singular and not kith
years in_ the plural. \. Tha error is seen
at a . glance; ; fOr the 'difference
between 'nine years' 'and 'thie hundred
years' is too great to .be overlooked in
any careful translation of the sacred
book. The. translator _ assumed that

contrary to all rule. • The Hebrews
could, by pluralizing a -numeral lees
than 10, add tenfold to the unit,' thus:
hemosh, 5, hetuoshim, 50 ; This, rule,
applied in ease of Terub, would make
him ten times 10 years old, or 1,050
years old. •In t. e case of Terah ' the
historic record Onclusively contradicts
the translation, and hence demonstrates
the rulethat pluralizing 100 does not,
in the Hebrew tongue, make 260, while
as l to the numerals between 2 and 10
the rule might apply thus: Shelesh, 3;
shcleshim, 30;!anizi in like manner to 10.
With these corrections, referring to the
ages of the patriarchs. before - the
Noachian deluge, the article of M. cle

From Adam to the flood the ales
would read as iq the table below, 80.

bers below' 100, as the numerals are
sometimes "pluralized for 4te purpose
of agreement when they.were not in

substantially true. the tableis added,

Salt the Garden
Gardens should be salted very liber
ally, for by so doing you will have' no
worm eaten radishes, magotty onions,
club-footed cabbages, or any other
vegetable grown in it injured by worms,
grubs, or any vermin that infest the
soil. Every cue that raises asparagus
knows the necessity of using salt abun
dantly. One can scarcely use too much.
Many who .grow cabbages know its
value when applied to the roots' or
growing head; but every one-'does not
known that growing onions shay be
buried under salt, leaving only the tops
out, and that the onion will grow thrifty,
while all maggots or worms will die or
disappeai—yet such is the fact. Salt
mixed will' wood ashes in the propor
tion of one of salt to_four of wood ashes
applied ai the rate of a handful to the
centre each hill of corn immediately
after pla,Vting, will supersede the use of
scare-crows and -coal-tar, as no worm
or crow will touch it, besides giving
the fectilizing properties of the com
pound. A friend residing in Edmes
town, Ostego empty, who had , broken
up four acres of sward upon which to
plant corn, found it Eci very wormy
that he dared not plant it, until I gave
him the above receipt, which he used
after planting. In the fall he told me
that, although his lot had woods upon
three aides of it, he did not-lose a sin
gle hill by worm or crow. The fact -is
worth remembering.
CalUvation oteorn.
Oar knowledge of corn is couflued
cbiefirto its value as a food. We know
that our dependence is placed chiefly
upon .this grain,for the support of our
live stock, small and great, and that if
by any mischanect the crop should be a
failuke, we should suffer far_more than
if every field of wheat in the country
were to be destroyed beyond remedy.,
But of itnrequiremputs, aka crop, from
thp soil, of its . runner of growth, of its
nutritive elements, and the proper and
healthful use of it as food for animals,
we know but little and ignore a great
deal. And knowing so little of the most I
important of our products, it is not !sur
prising that we fail of securing anything
like a fair yield of it. For the average
yield:ot corn varies from eighteen lish

innate condition of things ?• The most
obvious thing to do would be to learn
all we can about this crop, and; finding
what it requires to supply the demand
liberally. The present time is the pre

it is and what it requires for its fullest
development would be of the most

farmer, and should by. all means be
carefully and patiently pursued.. It is
now a timely thing to suggest) that it
might be useful for every farmer who
can make it convenieut, or even pos

such experiments as he can . view
to test this queation and to asc'ertsiu if
he cannot i)row corn more cheaPly than

to swing *prepaartory to taking the
leap.
Ilthrew myself at the rope, and when
I was in mid-air,.l saw it was no go
and\ that I was done. I struck out ,
desperately with my feet. in the hope
of helping myself forward, bat I only
reached the rope,with the tips, of the
fingers with my left hand. Both hand
and both feet were extended in. spread
eagle form, if like. ' I ought to
,have struck . the rope with -both hands
fairly in-the centre of my body,
.with
the legs across the line, so. as to distri
bute the , strain of sustaining my
weight over my -whole body. As it was
it all fell oh my left arm and my body
swept in toward the„rope like . a " whip
lash..
Of course I let go, and then I began
to tnrn spirally like a eoskscrew and
then go down. I instantly :realized
that I• must land all spread out. I
gathered my left arm close into try
body, pushed my head forward and
drew my legs togethAr. struggling to
get into shape to fall on my side. I
did fall just that way forty feet on a
wooden stage. My arm was driven in
to, my side and_a rib was broken. The
aim was shattered and I was' laid up
for many'nionths.
When I was going down in an instant
I saw over' again, as vivid as life, every
fall that I ems*; witnessed. They came
up in my mini;-one right after another,
like successive 'flashes of lightening, and
'I seemed to be experiencing all of them
in my own pers4. But' worse than
everything else, a great:deal worse than
the shock of arriving. was the terrible
shriek of agony that a eat up from the
audknce. It was like a heartbreaking
wail Of agony. I can hear,it yet, and I
hear it every time I think of the acci
dent. —From an Interview with William
