Waiting for the Ship.
About an h Jhrt ride from the Plaza
there is a high bluff with the ocean break
ing uninterruptedly along its rocky beach.
There are several cottages on the sands,
which look as if they might have been
recently cast up by a heavy sea. The col
tivated patch behind each tenement is
fenced in by bamboos, broken spars and
driftwood. With its few preen cabbages
and turnip tops, each garden looks like
an aquarium with the water turned off.
In fact you would not be surprised to
meet a mer-man digging among the pota
toes, or a mermaid milking a sea-cow
hard by.
Near this place formerly arose a great
semaphoric telegraph with its gaunt arms
tossed up against the horizon. It has
been replaced by an observatory, connected
with an electric nerve to the heart of the
great commercial city. From this point
the in coming ships are signaled, and
again checked ofT at the City Exchange
And while we are here looking for the ex
pected steamer, let me tell you a story :
Not long aso, a simple, hard-working
mechanic had amassed sufficient, by dili
gent labor in the mines, to send home for
his wife and two children. He arrived in
San Francisco a month before the ship
was due, for he was a Western man, and
had made the over-land journey, and knew
little of ships, or seas, or gales. lie pro
cured work in the city, but as the time ap
proached he would go to the shipping of
fice regularly every day. The month
passed, but the ship came not, then a
month and a week, two weeks, three
weeks, two months, and then a year.
The roagh, patient face, with 6oft lines
overlying its hard features, which had be
conr e a daily apparition at the shipping
agents', then disappeared. It turned up
one afternoon at the observatory, as the
setting sun relieved the operator from his
duties. There was something so child
like and simple in the few questions asked
by this stranger, touching his business,
that the operator spent some time to ex
plain. When the mystery of signals and
telegraphs was unfolded, the stranger had
one more question to ask. " How long
might a vessel be absent before they would
give ud expecting her?" The operator
couldn't tell; it would depend on circum
stances. Would it be a year? Yes, it might
be a year; and vessels have been given up
for lost after two years, and have come
home. The stranger put his rough hand
on the operator's, thanked him for his
u trouble," and went away. Still the ship
came not Stately clippers swept into the
gate, and merchantmen went by with col
ors flying, and the welcoming gun of the
steamer often reverberated among the
hills. Then the patient tace, with the old
resumed expression, but a brighter, wist
ful look in the eye, was regularly met on
the decks of the steamer as she disem
barked her living freights. He may have
had a dimly denned hope that the missing
ones might yet come this way, as only an
other road over that strange, unknown ex
panse. But he talked with ship-captains
and sailors, and even this last hope seemed
to fail. When the care-worn face and
bright eyes were presented again at the
observatory, the operator, busily engaged,
could not spare time to answer foolish in
terrogatories, so he went away. But, as
night fell, he was seen sitting on the rocks
with his face turned seaward, and was
seated there all that night
When he became hopelessly insane, for
that was what the physicians said made
his eyes so bright and wistful, he was
cared for by a fellow craftsman who had
Been his troubles. He was allowed to in
dulge his fancy of going out to watch for
the ship, in which she "and the children"
were, at night when no one else was
watching. He had made up his mind that
the ship would come in at night This,
and the idea that he would relieve the op
erator, who would be tired with watching
all day, seemed to please him. So he
went out and relieved the operator every
night
For two years the ships came and went
He was there to see the outward-bound
clipper, and greet her on her return. He
was known only by a few who frequented
the place. When he was missed at last
from his accustomed spot, a day or two
elapsed before any alarm was felt One
Sunday, a party of pleasure-seekers clam
bering over the rocks were attracted by
the barking of a dog that had run before
them. When they came up they found
a plainly-dressed man lying thete dead.
There were a few papers in his pocket
chiefly slips cut from different journals
of old- marine memoranda and his face
was turned toward the distant sea. Bret

Presence of Mind.
Very much has been written with re
gard to this important trait of character;
yet adults, as well as children, are con
tinually in every danqerout emergency,
found lamentably deficient - Accidents,
causing death and destruction of prop
erty, will ever occur; therefore, in calm
ana tranquil moments we should fortify
ourselves for the hour of danger. The
stcry of "John Raynor" impressed upon
the mind, possibly might have restored to
life many children apparently drowned.
It was in the infancy of this periodical
that the account was given, and a host of
our present readers were not then its
patrons, therefore 'I hope to be pardoned
for giving a transcript for publication: es
pecially as it cannot fail to interest our
juvenile friends.
It was during the summer holidays of
is , said jut. ijowers, 1 had a young
friend staving with me and my younger
brother Edward. His name was John
Raynor; and how he came by so much in
formation as he seemed to have, I do not
remember that we troubled ourselves to
inquire ; but my father, who liked John
exceedingly, said it was from his constant
habit of observation. He was then four
teen, only two years older than myself.
One evening, during the absence of my
parents, we occupied ourselves with as
sisting our old gardener. The garden
sloped down to a broad river, which joined
the sea at a few miles distance. I was
not so busy but I looked up every now
and then to watch the beautiful sunset
that sparkled on the water, or the passage
of boats, and country barges that glided
by at intervals. Suddenly I observed at a
short distance, something floating on the
water.
" It is the body of a boy! said John.
and in a moment flung off his jacket and
threw himself into the water. Fortunate-
1 P. " " d fiwimnfT and his cour
age never left him. lie swam wltnalt
his strength toward the floating bodv. and
seizing with one hand the hair, with the
other directed his course back to the shore.
We watched eagerly, and the moment he
came within reach assisted him in laving
the body on a grass-plot My brother
Edward recognized him as the son of a
washerwoman, exclaiming, as he burst in
to tears:
"Poor woman, she will never see her
- . .
dov agamr
John replied in a hurried tone
"She may, if we lose no time, and use
the right means to recover him. Edward
run quickly for a doctor; and as you pass
the kitchen, tell Susan to have a bed
warmed."
"We had better hold him up by the
nee is, said tne gardener, "to let the wa
ter run cut of his month."
"No, no, no !" exclaimed John ; "by so
doing we shall kill him, if he is not al
ready dead. We must handle him as
gently as possible."
When the body had been carried Into
the house, the gardener urged John to
place the body near the kitchen fire ; but
after a little persuasion they yielded to
John's entreaty, and the body was rubbed
dry, and 'placed on his right side between
hot blankets, - on a mattress. The head
was bound with flannel and placed high
on pillows, four bottles were filled with
hot water, wrapped in flannels, and placed
at the arm pits and feet while the body
was constantly rubbed with hot flannels.
John then took the bellows, and ha vine
blown out all the dust, directed me to close
the mouth and one nostril, while he, by
blowing in at the other, filled the chest
with air; he then laid aside the bellows,
and pressed the chest upwards to force
the air out -This was done from twenty
to inirty times in a minute, to imitate
natural breathing. All this time the win
aows ana doors were left wide onen.
Edward at length returned without the
aocior; he
was absent from home. The
use of friction with warm flannel, and ar -
tificial breathing continued for one hour
and a half, and no signs of life appeared.
John continued his efforts. Another half
hour passed, and to the inexpressible de-
liehtofus all, the Doy opened his eyes
and uttered a faint sigh.
What a good thing it was for the moth
er of this poor boy that John Raynor
once read, on a framed printed paper,
" Rules of the Humane Society for Recov
ering Persons Apparently Drowned."
.Better still, that be had taken pains to re
member them. Every item that we can
glean, calculated to benefit the distressed,
should be treasured in memory's garner
for the hour of need. Exchange.
A Dutch Lover.
A young gentleman in Amsterdam had
been, a year or two ago, paying his ad
dresses, without success, to a young lady.
The father of the maiden was altogether
obdurate, and could not be induced to
favor the suit : but the swain had observed
certain symptoms which led him to believe
that his attentions were not wholly unac
ceptable to the lady. When the festival
of the St Nicholas (December 5th) ap
proached, some waggish friends proposed
a plan of offering his hand and heart, the
drollery of which might possibly soften
the unwilling father, and assure the lady
of the entire devotion of his person.
On the eve ot bt .Nicholas a long and
rather narrow box, with some holes in the
lid, was conveyed to the house of Mynheer
, addressed to JufVrouw, with the
swain's compliments, in addition to which,
without the tetter's knowledge, the face
tious friends had painted, in large letters,
Een dikke vnler a tat lover, ine
box arrived at the usual five-o'clock din
ner-hour; and the daughter, seeing the
box in the hall, and, reading the address,
wished at once to open it But her father,
who perhaps smelt a rat &nd knew better
man ms uaugnier me possiDie iiuuiora vi
the diy, said :
"No: let us have dinner first and
meanwhile have the box brought into the
dining-room."
With some trouble the box was removea
there by the maids.
Dinner draceed its slow lengtn aiong,
was artfully protracted, and the opening
of the box kept in abeyance until it was
almost time to go to bed.
Then the hammer was missing, the
screw driver could not be found, and at
last the opening of the wonderful box put
off until next morning.
"Goede-nacht slaap good." All de
parted, save Mynheer , the father.
With bed-candle in hand, he went to the
box, listened carefully for a moment or
two, and then, giving the box a slight kick,
proceeded to moralize aloud :
"What a fool that little donkey of a fel
low is to suppose I will ever let him have
my daughter! I wonder what he has sent
her? What can these little holes be for?
LA.h! here is one of mevrouw's knitting-
neeaies; lei us pu&e uue iu aim tee u. c

"For Gods sake, don t!" said a stiEed
voice from the box, "or you will poke my
eye out
-Bless me, wnos tnisr wnai can n

" For Heaven's sake, let me out I can't
stand it much longer."
" Will you promise never to speak to
my daughter again, if I do?"
" jn o, 1 won t i u Qie nrst" -
" Very well, then ; good-night"
" Dont be so inhuman ; I shall be dead
in another hour."
' Will you promise !
'No," said the voice in the box, more
faintly, "never!"
' Well, you are a brave little soul ; 1 11
let you out" ,
Sir father took out screw-driver and
hammer from his own pocket, where they
had len lost and let out the poor lover s
very cramped but plump and comely per
son. " Now. I am a free man," said the latter.
in a somewhat weak voice (and no won
der), " I give my free promise, as you have
saved my life, not to speak to your daugh
ter again without your permission."
" WelL" rejoined the father, kicking the
box, " if you have not done for her more
than most sweethearts would, you have
certainly got into less."

The Nerves and "Tone."
What is the source of this irritability
which renders it impossible to keep the
muscles still ? We can answer, in general.
that irritability means weakness it is a
tendency to too easy an overthrow of the
balance in which the living textures exist ;
the excessive action Ansea irom too rapid
a decay. A philosophical physician com
pares it to the whirling movement of the
hands of a watch of which the main spring
is broken : and the eminent French exper
imentalist, M. Claude Bernard, has thrown
a light on this condition by pointing out
ui&i an nmiaiunti pruneness to ucuviiy ex
ists in every organ of a living animal at a
period immediately preceding the death of
the part In our physical, as in our moral
nature, strength is calm, patient, orderly;
weakness hurries, cannot be at rest at
tempts too much. The force which, in the
living frame, binds up the elements into
organic forms, being relaxed, too easily
permits them to sink down, and ineffectual
mimicries of energy ensue,
But how is living strength to be insured
in respect to the functions we have spoken
of? The laws we have been tracing give
ns a partial answer to this question.
Strength in the living body is maintained
by the full but natural exercise of each or
gan ; and as we have seen, the action of
these portions of the nervous system is
made dependent upon the influences con
veyed to them by the sensitive nerves dis
tributed over the various parts of the body.
And among these the nerves passing to the
skin are the chief The full access of all
healthy stimuli to the surface, and its free
dom from all that irritates or impedes its
functions, are the first external conditions
of the normal vigor of this nervous cir
cle. Among these stimuli, fresh air and
pure water hold the first place. Sufficient
warmth is second. The great and even
wonderful advantages of cleanliness are
partly referable to the direct influence of
a skin healthily active, open to all the
natural stimuli and free from morbid irri
tation, upon the nerve-centers of which
it is the appointed Tcitant This iuflu
ence is altogether distinct from those
cleansing functions which the healthy
skin performs for the blood, and in any
just estimate of its value is far too impor
tant to be overlooked.
That S'ate of general vigor which we
call "tone "also depends upon the healthy
action of these nervous centers. It con
sists in an habitual moderate contraction
ot the muscles, due to a constant stimulus
exerted on them by the spinal cord, and is
valuable less for itself than as a sign of a
sound nervous balance. Tone is maintained
partly by healthful impressions ra
diated upon the spinal cord, through the
nerves, from all parts of the body, and
partly by the stimulus poured down upon
it from the brain. So it is disturbed by
whatever conveys irritating or depressing
inflences in either direction. A single in
judicious meal, a sleepless night, a single
passion or piece of bad news will destroy
it On the other hand, a vivid hope, a
cheerful resolve, an absorbing interest,
will restore it as if by magic. For in
man these lower officers iu the nervous
hierarchy draw their very breath accord
ing to the biddings of the higher powers.
But the dependence of the higher on the
lower is no less direct The mutual ac
tion takes place in each line. A chief
condition of keeping the brain healthy is
to keep these unconscious nervous func
tions iu full vigor, and in natural alter
nations of activity and repose. Thus
it is that (besides its effect in in
creasing the breathing and the gen
eral vigor of the vital processes) muscu
lar exercise has so manifestly a beneficial
influence on a depressed or irritable state
of mind. The bodily movement, by af
fording an outlet to the activity of the
spinal cord, withdraws a source of irrita
tion frcm the brain ; or it may relieve ex
citement of that organ by carrying off its
energy into a safe channel. We see evi-
1 dence of the same law in the delightful
effect of a cheerful walk, and the demand
for violent exertion, which is so frequent
in insanity. Every part of the nervous
system makes its influence felt by all the
rest A sort of constitutional monarchy
exists within us ; no power in this small
State is absolute, or can escape the checks
and limitations which the other powers
impose. Doubtless the brain is King; bet
Lords and Commons have their seats be
low, and guard their privileges with jeal
ous zeal. If the " constitution " of our
personal realm is to be preserved intact, it
must be by the efforts of each part, law
fully directed to a common end. ThouglUs

The Humbug of Early Rising.
All this talk about early rising is moon
shine. The habit of turning out of bed in
the middle of the night suits some people;
let them enjoy it But it is folly to lay
down a general rule upon the subject.
Some men are fit for nothing all day after
they have risen early in the morning.
Their energies are deadened, their imagi
nations are heavy, their spirits are de
pressed. It is said you can work so well
in the morning. Some people can, but
others can work best at night; others,
again, in the afternoon. Long trial and
experiment form the only conclusive tests
upon these points. As for getting up
early because Prof Gammon has written
letters to the papers proving the necessity
of it let no one be goose enough to do it
We all know the model man, aged eighty :
"I invariably rise at 5; I work three
hours, take a light breakfast namely, a
cracker and a pinch of salt work five
hours more; never smoke, never drink
anything but barley-water, eat no dinner,
and go to bed at 6 in the evening." If
anybody finds that donkeyfied sort of life
suit him, by all means let hi on continue it
But few people would care to live to
eighty on those terms. If a man cannot
get all withered and crumpled up on easier
conditions than those, it is almost as wt 11
that he should depart before he is a nuis
ance to himself and a bore to everybody
else. School boys, and young people
generally, ought to get up early, for it is
found that nine-tenths of them can stand
it ; and it does them good. But let no one
torture himself with the thought that he
could have been twice as good man as he
is if he had risen every morning at day
light The habit would kill half of us in
five years. Hew Tork Time.
How to Give Children an Appetite.
GrvK children an abundance oT out door
exercise, fun and frolic ; make them reg
ular in their habits, and feed them only
upon plain, nourishing food, and they will
seldom, if ever, complain of a lack of appetite.-
But keep them overtasked in
school, confined closely to the house the
rest of the time, frowning every attempt at
play ; feed them upon rich or high season
ed food, candies, nuts, etc, allow them to
eat between meals, and in the evening, and
you need not expect them to have good
appetites, cm the contrary, you may expect
they will be pale, weak and sickly.
JJon t cram them with food when they
don t want or have no appetite font such
a course is slow murder. If they have no
appetites, encourage, and if need be com
mand them to take exercise in the open
air. Don't allow them to study too much,
and especially keep them from reading the
exciting light literature which so much
abounds in our bookstores and circulating
libraries. In addition to securing exercise
for the children as above, change their
diet somewhat; especially when they have
been eating fine flour, change to coarse or

Some Artistic Blunders.
Tintoretto, an Italian painter, in a
picture of the children of Israel gathering
manna, has taken the precaution to arm
iaem wim me mouern invention oi guns
Cigoli painted the aged Simeon at the cir
cumcision of the infant Savior; and, as
aged men in these days wear spectacles,
the artist has shown his sagacity by plac
ing them on Simeon's nose. In a picture
by errio of (Jurist healing the sick, the
lookers on are represented standing with
periwigs on their heads. To match, or
rather to exceed this ludicrous representa
tion, Durer has painted the expulsion of
Adam and Jwe irom the Garden or Jvden
by an angel in a dress fashionably trimmed
with flounces. The same painter, in his
scene of Peter denying Christ represents
a Roman soldier very comfortably smoking
a pipe of tobacco. A Dutch painter, in a
picture of the wise men worshipping the
Holy Child, has drawn one of them in a
large white surplus and in boots and spurs,
ana he is in the act of presenting to the
Child a model of a Dutch man-of-war. In
a Dutch picture of Abraham offering of
fering up his son, instead of the patriarch's
"stretching forth his hand and taking the
knife," as the Scriptures inform us, he is
represented as using a more effectual and
modern instrument; he is holding to
Isaac's head a blunderbuss. Berlin repre
sents in a picture the Virgin and Child
listening to a violin ; and in another pic
ture he has drawn King David playing the
harp at the marriage of Christ with St
Catherine. A French artist has drawn
with true French taste the Lord's Supper,
with the table ornamented with tumblers
filled with cigai lighters; and, as if to
crown the lint f these absurd and ludi
crous anachronisms, the Garden of Eden
has been drawn with Adam and Eve in all
their primeval simplicity and virtue, while
near them, in full costume, is seen a hunter
Kith a gun, shooting ducks.
Brandy as Medicine.
Brandy kills multitudes every year who
enjoyed perfect health before they began
te use it ; hence it seems fair to infer that
it will kill the sick more speedily.
Dr. Lee said he was living near Buck
ingham Palace, in London, where Prince
Albert was taken sick. His case was doing
well for a few days, when they began
giving him brandy to strengthen him, to
enable him to recover more rapidly ; and
the more he was stimulated the worse he
grew until he died. It is true that they
believed that it was the best thing for
him, but their thinking so did not make
it so.
Some years ago, when it was the cus
tom to attempt curing delirium tremens by
giving brandy, one out of every four died
at Edinburgh Hospital Since then, the
professor of the medical department has
treated 300 cases of dtlirium tremens with
out alcohol, without losing a single pa

amsity, liundrcrl men thirty ounces
of alcohol; seventeen died out of the
hundred. Another hundred were allowed
only three ounces, and eleven died out of

or whiskey, not one died.

Special Farming.
Many of the complaints made that farm
ing does not pay are founded on the fact
that some particular crop has been raised
to the exclusion of others, and a failure
has resulted disastrously. In mixed farm
ing this can not occur. A successful farmer
will tell you the secret of his success. He
has always something to selL In the
winter-time, he has grain of all sorts, wool
and mutton ; in the spring, he has some
fat cattle or a fresh cow ; some fat calves
during summer, and at any time, if one
should want a horse, he will have one to
snare, having always a colt to put in its
p ace. Thus money is all the time dropping
ltto his purse, and though the items may
be small, the aggregate is considerable;
while he has abundance for his domestic
supply without having to purchase. Con
trast this with the hop raiser, the cotton
grower, the fruit culturist, and all others
who limit themselves to a special product
They may handle more money in a year,
but how little of it sticks to their fingers !
They handle it but as trustees for others,
and sometimes a failure will prevent them
handling sufficient for their pressing
needs. Hearth and Home.

Hors WrrnouT Poles A correspond
ent of the Country Gentleman writes as
follows : 'Eight years' experience proves
that we can pick our hops as cneaply, and
much neater, by using baskets and pick
ing from the vine trained horizontally and
low, without cutting any part of the vine,
thus leaving it to mature and ripen the
root for next year's use ; w hen the hop yard
is trailed in this way, no hills die, but the
plant is more vigorous each year, as long
as it is weii ias.en careoi, with one-fourth
the manure that is required if the plants
are cut Many of our hoD-growera are
not aware of the great outrage they are
committing upon the first principles of
vegeiaoie pnysioiogy Dy severing such a
mass of vines and foliage as is done
in all cases where the hop is trained high
and the vines cut to pick. I have seen
yards of luxuriant growth and great vield
picked early, bleed so as not to produce
next vear : thfi irmnni nrnnnrt tho hill
would be kepi wet for days by the flow of

Butter.
A corresponi:r?t of the Lcwietown
(Me.) Journal raja t "The local requisites
for the manufdcuira of good butter are
air, wholesome waiir, and a sufficiency of
Bweet, nutritious ueroagc. f resh, rich,
juicy feed will eohance both the quality
and quantity of milk and butter. The
requisites named belon g, generally, to some
what elevated or hilly districts, rather
than to those or an opposite character.
A rolling, elevated country, hillv often.
times, abounding in springs of soft water,
and drained by clear rippling streams flow
ing over gravelly beds, constitute the pre
dominating character of the best daiiying
districts of Vermont New York and the
Middle Mates, so famous for their dairy
products. On such lands the best and
sweetest natural grasses obtain, and per
haps half a dozen more different varieties
abound, in themselves full of the best
milk-producing qualities. In nearly all of
our billy pastures the white or Dutch
clover abounds, the presence of which in
dicates a good range for cows.
Another essential is a change of pas
ture. This, I believe, U contrary to the
teachin gs of some, but I think where prac
ticable it ia, the better way to give the
cows a chaste of range every ten days or
so. Fresh pastures are clean, the grass is
even, full and nutritious, and the animals
will fill themselves and then lie down and
digest their food in quietness. A pasture
long run over becomes soiled with the
droppings and treadings of the cows upon
it A better flow of milk follows a change
into a new pasture than a continuance on
an old one, and it is more economical.
Turning off from a close-fed pasture, the
rains bring it up anew, and in a few days
or weeks it is ready for the cows again,
while the one last fed again grows up to
supply its place, when that is exhausted.
During the latter part of July, and gen
erally through August, the feed in the pas
tures gets short The deficiency may be
made up wholly or in part at least bv ex
tra feed from drilled corn or second crop
grass from the mowing field.
Cows, to yield the best returns, should
always have ready access to a plenty of
good water. This is almost indispensable,
lor it is impossible to make good butter
without a good supply of pure water.
Those having pastures where the water
fails in a dry time have probably observed
how rapidly their cows shrink in their
milk when water is scarce and the animals
do not get their usual supply. When we
consider that about eighty-seven parts of the
constituents of milk are water, a cow that
gives a large quantity of mlik would re
quire a good supply to keep up a uniform
flow of milk. It would be far better to
induce them to take all the water they
will, than to have them nut upon short al
lowance. Tta'itdicingcowstodrinklarge
quanmies oi water will increase the now
of milk is certain; but to what extent the
quantity of milk may be increased with
eut detriment to the quality, by inducing
the animal to take an abundant supply ot
liquid, I am not prepared to say. But I
am satisfied that milk of good quality may
be increased by this method.
Selecting Seed.
All the improvements in sed have been
the result of selection. The best seed
selected for use has yielded an improved
product and the process again and again
repeated has finally resulted in secur
ing the plant, root, or grain desired.
Corn has been much improved bv a course
of selection, but farmers who have most
at stake in this matter are too careless to
c-irry out experiments to a final result
Now, if a seed could be secured that
would produce with certainty two ears of
corn to eacn siaik, our corn crop would
be vastly increased, and it is pretty cer
tain that if for a succession of years no
corn were planted but that which pro
duced two ears to the stalk, the peculiarity
would become fixed, and a corn having
this as a distinguishing characteristic
would become an established variety.
What we need is that farmers should be
careful to select their seed ears while the
corn is standing, that they may be sure
that tne ears selected are pertect in shape
and filling out, early in ripening, and grow
double. An improvement of ten per cent
only in the corn crop from judicious
selection of seed, would aJd a value of
hlty millions of dollars to the agricultural
income of. the country, and this is no
mean item. Hearth and Home.
Blanching Celery.
Trrs last of August is the time to begin
earthing up celery that will be wanted for
use in October or November. The crop
aesignea lor winter use neea not be earth
ed up until later iu the season, for if
blanched too early It ill be neither as
good nor keep as well as that which is
blanched in cool weather. In earthing ud
some care is required to keep the soil on
the out ide of the head, and to do this the
operator should clasp the leaves and stems
in one nana, homing them together, while
with the other the earth should be drawn
around the plant and pressed firmly against
it a very little soil will sumce for this
purpose, and more can be added if requir
ed, when both hands are free to use the
hoe or spade. If the plants are not grow
ing as vigorously as required, then give
them a liberal supply of liquid manure
few days before the frst earthing up. Of
course the liquid should not be thick and
rank, for this would cause rust ; but let it
be strong, and then dilute with considera
ble water, so that the earth about the
plants may be well-soaked, and not merely
sprinkled. Celery intended for a late crop
should be frequently hoed during this and
next month ; and if the weather is dry,
water freely, adding some kind of stimu
lating manure, if necessary. Rural A'eie

Fish have great tenacity of life. It is
believed that carp has attained an age of
la J years, ana tne piKe a still greater age.
A pike was caught in a lake in South Ger
many, in 1827, on which was found a ring
bearing this inscription: "I am the fish
which was first of ail put into this lake by
the hands of the Governor of the Universe,
Frederic II., the 5th of October, 1230." It
weighed 350 pounds, and was 19 feet long.
In the artesian well being sunk in the
city park, San Diego, C&L, at a depth
seventy-five feet the workmen struck a bed

whalebones ; at a depth of fifty feet petri
fied clam shells were found in abundance.

A Safe Dry Goods House. The Invalid--A Pen Picture.
See her pallid countenance, but a short
time ago the picture of ruddy health, the
envy of the school and the pride of the house
hold. She was always welcomed by her
schoolmates, for her lithe form and pleasing
disposition carried cheerfulness into their
ranks. Diligent, punctual and exemplary,
obedient and graceful at home, she won the
hearts of all. But, alas, we are sorrowed.
Those rosy cheeks and ruddy lips are
blanched by Consumption. The voice once
enchanting in laugh and song is feeble, husky,
and supplanted by a hollow cough. Let
approach her conch pontly and toko her hand.
Do not shudder because of the feeble and pas
sionless grasp. The hand once so hearty and
plump is emaciated, and shows long outlines,
while the cords and tortuous veins are plainly
mapped upon the surface. The pulse that
bounded with repletion, carrying vigor
the whole system and imparting life, beauty,
vivacity, health and strength, is delicate
the touch. The feeble heart cannot propel
the thin scanty blood with force. Must we
lose her while yet in her teens? Compan
ions and friends gather around with words
cheer and consolation, and depart with
moistened eyes and silent steps. Must we
lose her? 'o! there is relief! tYe can stay
this destroyer of our happiness and not suf
fer the loss of so bright a gem. Something
more is required now than dietary and hy gienic
observance, for nature calls fur aid and she
shall have it. Take this pleasant medicine.
It is invigorating. How it allays the Irrita
ble congh, improves the appetite and diges
tion, and sends a healthy tingle through the
frame. The blood is enriched, nervous force
increased, and the heart bounds with a new
impulse. See her face brighten by degrees
the color is returning ; her voice is getting
clearer, and pleasant words are spoken. The
strength falters yet, but' is gaining. Let us
take her out in the warm sunshine. . In
short time she will be able to go without our
aid, aTheerful girl. This delightful medicine
must be God-blessed. It is restoring health
to our loved one. She is emerging from her
sickness sweeter and nobler than before, and
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery most
have the credit. It has raised her. Sold by
