FIRST TIME AT CHURCH.
A grave, sweet wonder in thy baby face,
And look of mingled dignity and grace,
Such aa a painter hand might love to trace.
A pair of trusting, innocent blue eyes,
That higher than the Btained-glaes windowrise,
Into the fair and cloudless summer skies.
The people round her sing, "Above the sky
There's rest for little children whenthey die"
To herthus gazing upthat rest seems nigh.
The organ peals she mnst not look around,
Although with wondermenther pulses bound
The place whereon she stands is holy ground.
The sermon over, and the blessing said,
She bowsas "mother" doesher golden head
And thinks of little sister who is dead.
She knows that now she dwells above the sky,
Where holy children enter when they die.
And prays God take her there too, by and by.
Pet, may He keep you in the faith always,
And bring you to that home for which you pray.
Where all shall have their child-hearts oack
one day. Chambers' Journal

Prof. Proctor's Romance.
The romance of the coming marriage of
the English astronomer, Professor R. A.
Proctor, is givon by the St. Joseph (Mo.)
News as follows.
"Some time duung the early part of last
year Mr. and Mrs. Robert Crawley of St.
Joseph left here, seeking the health of the
former in a trip to Australia. About the
same time the famous astronomer, Profess
or Proctor, set out from Liverpool, accom
panied by his wife, who had long been in
delicate health. Their objective point was
Australia, the motives prompting the step
doubtless being about the same as in the
case of Mr. and Mrs, Crawley. The health
seeking parties arrived on foreign soil
about the same time, and circumstances
conspired to place them in intimate ac
quaintance. For a time the change of cli
mate was beneficial to both invalids but
it was only temporary in both instances,
and in August they bothdied, their deaths
occurring within a few days of each other.
Both the living were grief stricken at their
loss, and the many peculiar coincidences
served to arouse the sympathy of each for
the other. Their mission was a fruitless
one, so far as saving the lives of their help
mates was concerned, and shortly after
they took passage in the same steamer, in
tending to return to their respective homes,
[t is sufficient to know, however, that the
Professor at the same time wooed and won
the St. Joseph lady, and their marriage is
to take place in this city seven week*
hence."

PARIS SPENDTHRIFTS.
A Brilliant Social Care er Abruptly Kuded
A American Couple Who lived Beyond
Their Mean*.
Paris Letter to the New York Times.
Another man overboard and more's the
pity, this time it is an American. I shall
give no names, no initials,even, not for the
sake of the culprits themselves, but for the
sake of those who have the misfortune to
be their relatives it is a doleful story, but,
I fear me, only too common. She was
such a little beauty some one nicknamed
her "La Rousette" at Mrs. M.'s splendid
ball a fortnight ago: with a complexion
such as Giotto used to paint,ivory with
the slightest tint of pink, like a blush on
the moss roseand hair of that golden
auburn so loved by Titian, and no one
thought to sneer at her conceit, even if she
did wear it streaming o^er her shou'ders, as
only she would have dared to do in public
slight and delicate as Titania, with great
blue eyes, and a sylph-like figure, and fairy
feet,a pocket venus, in short, worthy of
admiration which her presence awakened
everywhere. We saw her for the first
time at the opening of last year's salon,
leaning on her husband's armhe too, was
well enough in his way, but only as an ac
cessory in an exquisite toilet of pale-blue
satin, with a huge boquet of tea roses in
her hand and we wondered who she was,
and wondered still more that her laugh
should sound so strangely as if it were
meant to hide a sob. And they were rich
too Cincinnati hogs sent them $30,000 a
year, perhaps more but if their revenue
had been a million, it would have been
insufficient. What apace they went!
No fortune could have resisted such ex
travagance. Money goes fast nowadays.and
theirs did not last long,-*-a twelvemonth at
the outside,and then the crash came.
But they concealed their embarrassments,
and stuck to their hotel, a bonbonniere,
with its windows looking out on the verdant
horizons on the Pare Monceau, full of
flowers, and choice pictures, and rare cu
riosities, and costly furniture. Their stables
were always irreproachably kept their ser
vants were numerous. Madame seldom wore
any gown more than three times, rarely so
often, and all were by M. Worth. They
had their box at the opera, and the Fran
cais, and never missed a "first night," and
gave balls and dinners, and were cited as a
bright particular constellation in the firma
ment of fashion.
Although there were debts everywhere,
although there was not a centime in their
purses, no one suspected their situation,
and invitations were received and accepted
as if they were rolling in affluence. Some
people in their despair might have resoited
to suicide they did not. For them poison
and pistols possessed no attractions,so they
bolted, without leaving any P. P. Cs. on
their numerous acquaintan es, never com
municating their intentions to any one ex
cept the black nurse who had accompanied
them from the States, after the manner of
defaulting cashiers or lovers on their hon
ey-moon. And their hotel await its truants,
their servants howl after unpaid wages, and
legions of exasperated creditors, from the
butcher and baker to the jeweler and horse
dealer, clamor for the discharge of their
bills, while Mr. 's dishonored name has
been posted at the clubs as a swindler.
The absconding pair should have landed
in New York by this time, andare safe from
prosecution but I wonder what will be
come of the "Welcher," what will be the
end of his wife, and the fate of their poor
children. These last, at least, are inno
cent.
What is a Cold.
To enjoy life, one must be in good
health and to remain free from disease is
the desire of all. Yet there are some ail
ments which donotintefere very much with
the pleasures of life, and therefore are
not dreaded in consequencenay, more,
they are frequently treated with neglect,
although in many instances they are the
piecursors of more serious disorders,which
may in not a few cases have a fatal termin
ation! How often to the usual greetings
which one fiiend exchanges with another,
is the reply given, "Very well, thank jou,
except a little cold." A little cold, and yet
how insignificant this may be! In how
many cases do we find a little cold" resem
ble a little seed, which may sooner or later
develop into a mighty tree! A little cold
neglected may, and frequently does, prove.
itself to be a thing not to be trifled with.
Let me, then, pray my readers to remember
that small beginnings in not a few instances
have big endings, and this especially where
disease exists. Let us then consider what
is a common cold.
In the first place, we must beparadoxical,
and affirm that it is not a cold at all. It is
rather a heat, if I may so express myself
that is, it is a form of fever, but, of course,
of a very mild type when it is uncomplicat
ed by other diseases. It is certainly in the
majority of instances due to the effects of
cold playing upon some portion of the body,
and reacting on the mucous membrane
through the intervention of the nervous ap
paratus. What is called a cold, then, is
reality a feyer and, though in the majority
of instances it is of such a trivial nature as
to necessitate few precautions being taken
during its attack, yet in some cases it runs a
most acute course, and may be followed by
great prostration. Even when the premon
itory symptoms of a cold are developing
themselves, when, for example, what a
medical man calls a rigor, or, as it is popu
larly disignated, a shivering is felt, when
i we would naturally suppose that the animal
temperature is below par, it is at that very
moment higher than the normal, thus show
ing the onset of fever.From Popular
Science Monthly for April.
For some fifteen years a house on the
Rue de la Paix, Paris, contained among
other tenants, a young girl of bewitching
beauty. Her hair was of the red-gold that
Giorgione loved her eyes were dark, and
large, and velvety her complexion was as
fresh, as delicate, and as pure as aroseleaf
her figure, her carriage, every charm was
perfect. In fact, her beauty was so re
markable that, when for a considerable
fee, she began to offer to bestow a similar
loveliness upon judicious patronesses, she
found her hands full and her accountat the
bank something remarkable. Rut, within
the last year, Leontine Bachel has aban
doned the business of making other women
beautiful forever, and has developed a so
prano voice of nazina compass andpower.
Verdi has not only encouraged her to seek
a front place among prime donne, but has
also permitted her to call herself Verdini.
Emile de Girardin presented her the other
evening to an audience of conoissenrs,
among whom, no doubt, she found it easy
to recognize some of her former customers
of the Rue de la Paix.
HOUSE AND FARM.
Scraps of Information.
A western New York farmer says he has
always found that a horse of from 1,050, to
1,100 poundn can endure more than one of
1,300 weight.
"Aaron's wife" writes to the Michigan
Farmer that she tried Mary Wagner-Fish
er's muslin sheets for hotbeds for flowers,
ind the plan worked so well that she has
"not used glass since"
Mrs. Amelia Lewis aserts in Food and
Health that nearly $12,000,000 is invested
in oleomargarine factories, and that thev
have added nearly $4 to the value of every ox
killed.
Sow the timothy seed now, and if the
weather should prove favorable, the grass
will be well up and growing by the time
the wheat is ripe. But do not delay the
scattering of clover seed until the ground
has become so dry and hard that it cannot
Krow.
If your horse is troubled with lice, wash
him all over with keosene and sour milk,
equal parts, and then see that the stable is
thoroughly cleansed by washing with the
same and after all this is done scatter
flowers of sulpher freely about into all the
cracks of stalls and floor.
Professor Shelton is credited with a show
ing by experiment, that wheat sorted in a
bin does not shrink, though kept through
the winter. The assumption is that the de
crease not caused by rats and mice is due
to human plunderers. It is suggested that
a large number of farmers unite in making
careful tests by burying in wheat-bins sacks
of grain, and noting systematically any
changes in weight.
Laying hens, says the Germantown Tel
graph, just now require special attention in
their food. It i atthe end of along winter,
and it will be many weeks yet before they
can help themselves to worms, insects, etc.
Therefore give them scraps of meat, boiled
potatoes, corn meal, mush, etc., with plenty
of pure water. Let them also have access
to gravel and sed. They are fond of the
tender grass shoots, which add to theii
health and increase the quality of their eggs.
If the mare will not give milk with good
feed, you had better cease using her for
breeding purposes. Give her warm bran
mashes and plenty of roots, carrots, and
turnips with bran sprinkled over them after
being cut up fine. If these fail, then she is
of no value as a breeder. However, you
ought not to have let the colt starve to death,
because you might have given it fresh warm
cows' milk, and brought it up on the bottle,
if it was worth the trouble.
The subject of sorghum Sugar continues
to agitate the country. We hear of many
experiments and see little sugar. Sugar
has been male from sorghum every year of
the last twenty, in quantities almost infin
itesimal. The extravigant trumpeting ef
assumed possibilities may detract from and
perhaps prevent ultimate success. The
failures of the present season outnumber
the successes, and their is need of cool, de
liberate perseverance in overcoming diffi
culties, with the aid of the best wisdom and
the highest science. Itis unwise, it is cruel,
to lure on the unskilful and the ignorant
enthusiast with the ignis fatuus of sure and
easy sugarmakmg at three cents per pound.
Fatal reaction naturally follows unreason

A Farmer's Way With Asparagus.
From the New York Tribune.
I have about one-third of an acre of as
paragus, and I find it the most profitable
piece of ground in my garden. I have tried
different systems df management, and have
settled upon this one: My plan is to keep
out all thefros I can in the winter, and
then get r|d of what does get as early as
possible in the spang. To this end I leave
the rank summer's growth standing,to catch
and hold the snow this forms the best cov
eiing possible to keep out frost. I leave it
in this condition so long as freezing influ
ences predominate. When the weather
turns in the spring so that frost is leaving,
I cut the old stalks and rake and burn as
clean as possible. I am sometimes able
in a dry time, to clean it by setting fire
along an edge if necessary, I assist the fire
by mowing and raking such tufts as do not
catch. A mulch keeps out frost, but then
it retards the warming up of the soil in
spring. So I clear up the bed in good shape
in early spring rake chips and rubbish into
little piles, and burn everything that I can.
As soon as the ground is dry enough, I go
on with a spring-tooth harrow and cut aud
cross it until the whole patch is like a seed
bed three inches deep. If it gets packed
down before the shoots start, I go over it
again. In this way I get asparagus out of
the groun as early as it is safe to have it
come.
I do not touch the ground again while wo
are cutting, for if I keep the ground stirred
it will be muddy after rains. We cut until
we have green peas. The last time over
we cut everything that shows, go right on
with the spring-tooth harrow, use a horse
and light plough between the rows, and
give it a most thorough dressing, haul on
to it any coarse manure which we may have
we never use amy good, nice manure on
itcobs, chips, old brine, in fact the clean
ings up generally of the farm. The as
paragus bed is the catch-all of the farm
during the summer, but tne rank growth
hides every blemish and it makes it a beau
tiful spot. We throw all the summer's
weeds into it. When we cut burdocks we
drag them out into the bed. The rank un
dergrowth of the asparagus keeps down
weeds, but we go through it several times
during the summer with double-shovel
ploughs, and if necessary with hand hoes.
There may be better methods, but we make
a success of asparagus, which we could not
do if compelled to make it so laboiious as
is often directed in newspaper articles. In
all of our Western methods we have to
economize laboroftentimes to an extent
which passes the bounds of economy and
proves disastrous. I do not think that as
paragus-growing can easily be overdone.
It comes so early, when people are hungry
for something green, that the demand is
great, and then again requiring as it does,
two or three years to establish a bed, it
calls for a degree of forethought and care
which but few people possess.[J. W.
Wood, Sauk Co., Wis.
How to Cultivate Cranberries.
The cranberry, as generally cultivated, is
semi-aquatic, and should be grown where
water can be freely used. Water is let in
upon them in the winter, to protect them
from the cold and insects and promote their
growth. They are, however, produced suc
cessfully on uplands. They are planted
by setting small pieces of vines in the tmrf,
or sowing berries or slips of vines on tha
land. To be grown tot profit, a piece of
land which can be easily flooded and drained
of water is desirable. When you plant a
cranberry patch, procure large productive
vines from Northern Indiana, New Jersey,
or some well proven district, and set them
in rows two feet apart each way or smaller
ones may be set nearer together. After
planting, a thick layer of sand (1 to 2 inches)
over the ground will facilitate keeping down
the weeds and grass, which is very neces
sary until the plants well cover the ground.
Swamp muck is beneficial to cranberries,
and the plants should be thoroughly
mulched. As the berry is a very healthful
and popular one. of course it is profitable
compared with the needful expense and
care. For moderately dry soils the Mans
field Creeper variety is preferred and for
low lands the Eaton Black Bell, though the
common Bell and Cherry are good enough
For setting out spring is preferable, though
early summef, and even fall will do.
THE PAINT MANIA.
A Kan's Snare in House Cleaning and the
Damage he Can Do.
There seems to be something wonder
fully fascinating in the private paint-brush
and the can of prepared paint that are pub
licly sold by unprincipled and greedy men.
The man who has once allowed himself to
paint the kitchen chairs or the dog kennel
takes a step which he can rarely retrace.
His thirst for pain* grows with indulgence,
and he soon comes to feel wretched unless
he has a brash in hi6 hands. Among pri
vate punters there exists a strange and mor
bid unwillingness to allow a particle of
paint to be waisted. The man who buys a
pound can of blue paint with which to
paint a table, and finds that after the work
is done he has a quarter of a pound of paint
left, instantly tries to find some other ar
ticle of furniture on which to use it. Thus
he is constantly led on from one article of
furniture to another, and reduces himself
to poverty, madness and despair. The sto
ry of a man who was once a respectable and
worthy citizen of Philadelphia presents a
fearful illustiation of the misery caused by
private painting.
The man in uestion let us call him Mr.
Smithwas induced by anindiscreet friend
to buy a pound of red paint with which to
paint a small dog-kennel. Without reflect
ing upon the danger to which every one ex
poses himself who takes the unhallowed
brush in his hand, Mr. Smith painted the
dog kennel, and with the quarter of a pound
of paint that was left he undertook to paint
the bath-tub, in order, as he told himself,
that the paint should not be wasted. He
found that the bath-tub was not more than
half painted when his supply of paint was
exhausted, and he therefore bought another
can. With this he finished the bath-tub,
and had this time three-quarters of a pound
left. It was, of course, impossible for him
to allow so much paint to be wasted, and
accordingly he began to paint the six kitch
en chairs. There was paint enough for five
chairs only, and the wretched man saw that
he could not help buying a third pound,
nearly all of which was left after the sixth
chair was finished,
With hungry eyes and excited air, he
now roamed through the house, seeking
what he might paint, and finally decided to
paint he wood-work of his study. Two
additional pounds were used before the
wood-work was finished, but he found that
in his anxiety to finish without buying a
sixth pound of paint he had laid on the
color so lightly in some places that the re
sult dissatisfied him. As a remedy he de
cided to run a narrow bar of black paint
around each panel, and therefore bought a
pound of best-prepared ivory paint-black.
Not more than half of it had been used
when the work was finished, and then it be
came necessary to find'something to use
the remainder on. The unhappy Mr.
Smith now realized when it was too late to
save himself, that he was a confirmed paint
er, and than he had not sufficient strength
of will to cast the accursed paint-pot from
him, no matter if he did thereby waste near
ly half a pound of ivory-black". He pur
sued his downward course with great rapidi
ty. Heedless of the tears of his wife and
the entreaties of his daughters, he painted
everything in the house on which a paint
brush could be laid. No matter how large
or how small any surface which he under
took to paint might be he always had a lit
tle paint left over when it was finished, and
had to buy anew can when the next article
was partially painted. The hideous maiks
of thevice which had mastered him became
apparent on his loth.es dud fingers. Men
knew that he was a hopeless painter and
shrunk from him with horror.
His wife and daughters could not go into
the street without snowing by their invol
untary patches of black paint that the had
of the house was a private punter. His
money gradually found its way into the
pocket of the heartless wretch who kept the
paint-shop, and his health gave way under
the influence of painter's colic. Within
one short vear from the time when Mr.
Smith bought his first can of red paint he
was a ruined outcast, and when, after his
suicide with paris green, a noted philan
thropist called on his widow to obtain ma
terial for writing a biegraphy of the dead
man as a warning to the young, he learned
that during the latter part of his career the
miserable Mr. Smith had used no less than
seven pounds of paint daily.
The pathetic story carries its lesson with
it. It shows the terrible danger of med
dling. No man can take a loaded brush
into his hands without defiling his fingers.
The only safety lies in total abstinence from
brushes and paint, no matter how great may
be the temptation to use them.
Bee Notes in Brief.
Mr. James Hedden, of Michigan, whose
bees have brought to him a snug little for
tune, concludes that chaff' hives are too
costly and cumbersome. He also explains
why he has given up his house apairy
Many of these structuies were bu,lt a few
years since, but they are mostly deserted
now Only put enough combs in the
hive in spring to supply space for the bees
keep them covered with, bees if it takes no
more than three or even two combs
It is very rare to find colonies queenless in
the spring if they had a good queen in the
fall. The queen is usually the last to die.
It is not well to put a colony in a hive just
as it was left by bees dead from the dysen
tery, The nnwholsome odor and soiled
combs would be very likely to drive the
bees off. It is safe to give such combs to
bees one at a time, but to give no other
would be hazardous For information
as to the method of transferring bees from
box hives into those of movable frames, in
quirers shonld procure a good manual of
beekeeping. No one can afford to keep
bees in the old style hives.
