The Seasons.
It is a very common misapprehension, that
the four seasons of the year arc of pre
cisely equal length, or that they begiti with
the first and close with the last days of *the
three months respectively assigned them.
The real truth of the matter is brought out by
the following statement.
The past Winter began Pec.. 22nd, 1867,
at 31 minutes after 1 o’clock in the morning,
and lasted 89 days, 56 minutes. It gave place
to the present Spring, March 20th, at 27 min
utes after 1 o’clock in the morning; and Spring,
will last 92 days, 20 hours, 27 minutes. Sum
mer will begin at 54 minutes after 10 o’clock
in the evening, June 20th, and last 93 days,
14 hours, 31 minutes. Autumn will begin at
25 minutes after 1 o’clock in the evening,
Sept. 22ud, and, lasting 89 days, 17 hours, 55
minutes, give place to Winter again, Dec.
21st, at 20 minutes after 7 o’clock in the
morning.
The Vegetable Garden.
No time should now be lost in carrying on
the various operations of planting, sowing, etc.
When any of the main crops fail, more seed
should be immediately sown, and where they
have partially failed, procure plants, if pos
sible, and make good all deficiencies. Now
is a good time to destroy bugs; late in the
evening and early in the morning they leave
their places of concealment, and may be de
stroyed by fresh lime, which should bestrewn
over where they abound several mornings and
evenings in succession; in the morning, as
early as it is light, and in the evening as late
as eight or nine o’clock. By perseverance for
a short time, a garden may be entirely cleared
of thispest. When hard, dry winds and clear
weather render it necessary to supply water
to recently planted vegetables and seedling
crops, they must be attended to without fail,
otherwise they had better be allowed to re
main in a dormant state until the rain comes,
as continued waterings bind the surface of the
soil into a hard, impenetrable crust, which ig
very prejudicial to the germination of the
seeds. This may, however, in some degree
be prevented by shading from the sun orfcov
ering the soil, so as Jo prevent evaporation as
much as possible; 4’requent waterings are not
then necessary, and then the soil is kept in an
open porous state.
Cabbage. —Where they were planted a foot
apart in the rows during the autumn, every
alternate plant may be pulled tip for greens
as soon as sufficiently large and as required
for use.. This will give those that remain
space and time to attain perfection. A sow
ing of two or three kinds now will furnish a
supply of useful plants to fill up vacant lots
as summer crops are taken off. Early Dutch,
Sugar Loaf and Winningstad are kinds that
may be relied upon.
Asparagus. —The beds will be greatly ben
efited by liberal waterings with liquid manure,
taken from the barn-yard, stable, house, sew
erage, etc., and especially, where the plants
are weak, be careful to keep the beds free
from the weeds.
Lettuce. —During dry weather give some
of the earliest plants a good supply of water,
to bring them forward. Make a sowing of
two or three kinds. By this means the sea
son of one sowing is prolonged. —American
Farmer.
Cucumbers, grown in hot-beds, will require
constant attention that the beds do not be-’
come too moist, or mildew may appear. Sow
ings may be made in open air as early as the
ground is sufficiently dry and warm.
Brussel’s Sprouts. —Seeds of this delici
ous vegetable should uow be sown, and trails-,
plant the early sown, to strengthen them,
previous to planting out.
’ Cauliflowers should he liberally supplied
with water, and where large heads are requir
ed, manure water may be given them once or
twice a week. Sow for a succession.
Celery. —Transplant young plants upon a
slight hot-bed or warm border. If the main
crop is not already sown, sow it at once in
the open ground upon a warm border.
Corn. Make plantings for succession.
The Early Darling and Dwarf Prolific Sugar
are valuable varieties for family use.
Beans. —Bush and pole up ; several kinds
should be planted forthwith; those coming up,
should be earthed up after a shower.
Fruit Garden.
Now in most places comes the trying pe
riod of the season. In these times (April and
May), the head (or whatever he may be
styled) of the farm or garden, must be turned
into a sort of almanac and monthly register,
and his hands require to be magically increased
some tenfold. Everything in field and gar
den demand his attention, and now happy
that man should be who can attend to every
thing at once as soon as it requires attention.
‘‘Do it at once” is a grand axiom, and should
ever be kept in mind by those who resolve
on being orderly and methodical; and with
out order there will be muddle, there will be
doing and undoing, and a considerable waste
of boots; but the difficulty is “to do it at
once.” The order to do so, not unfrequently
emanates from “heads” not overburdened with
brains; the consequence is, the “do it at once”
is not done at all. At this season of the year
there will be dozens of things that want doing,
and perhaps but few hands and feet to do it.
In such circumstances thoughtful arrangements
must, or, rather, should be made, so that whilst
doing some things thoroughly, others should
not be allowed to suffer.
Not only to the “fruit department” are the
above remarks applicable, but to all the de
partments of the field and garden our desire
is that they should aflffrd food for reflection.
Where method and system is the order of
the day, activity must be exercised in the fruit
garden and orchard, as the rapid growth of
the trees w ill require constant attention in re
moving superfluous shoots, etc.
Strawberry beds will now require attention
a§ to watering, should the weather become
drv. After thoroughly cleaning the beds, an
effectual soaking should be given, and if a
moderate watering from the manure tank can

be supplied, after the ground has been well
saturated with clean water, it will materially
assist in securing large fruit. The beds should
be mulched as soon after watering as conven
ient, in order to prevent evaporation and the
fruit from being soiled. For mulching we
prefer clean straw to any other material we
have ever used for the purpose. Strawber
ries in pots —do not suffer those on which
fruit is swelling to get dry; use plenty of
liquid manure constantly, clean and weak.
Remove the suckers from Currant and
Gooseberry bushes. Thin Raspberry suck
ers.
Attend to regulating the growth id trees
designed to be trained in any particular form,
stopping useless shoots to throw more strength
into those that are wanted. Newly planted
trees should be kept mulched and watered at
the roots during a continuance of dry
weather.
Manure on vine borders should be removed,
at once. The only good it can do, is to pre
vent evaporation from the surface and keep
the soil more uniformly moist. On the other
hand, it prevents the sun from hgating the
soil. Remove it entirely, and fork the soil
over a few inches deep, but pot so deeply as
to injure the roots. Liquid manure may be
given with great advantage, during the growth
of the vines, and after the fruit is set, once or
twice a week, according to the state ot the
weather.
Profits of the Pear Crop.
P. T. Quinn, of Newark, N. J., in a paper
read before the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society, furnishes a statement of some suc
cessful results in raising pears for market.
The orchard under his charge contains many
trees planted seventeen years ago, and at dif
ferent periods since that time. The original
fifty selected varieties have been successively
reduced to only six. Os these the-Duchesse
d’Angouleme proves to bS the most profitable.
Nine years ago a single row, consisting of
thirty trees of this sort, was selected and an
accurate account kept of the sales, lbe fol
lowing is his statement for seven successive
years, to which we have appended a column
showing the average product from each tree.
The account commences when the trees were
only eight years old—and one crop failed.
They were originally dwarfs, but are supposed
to have now thrown out roots from the pear:
Ist crop, trees 8 years old $120.00, or $4.00 per tree.
2d do. 9* do. ... 139.41, or 4.64 do.
3d do. 10 do 156.17, or 5.20 do.
4th do. 11 do 201.28, or 6.70 do.
sth do. 12 do 267.49, or 8.90 do.
6th do. 13 do 310 20, or 10.34 do
7th (94 bu) 14 do 705.00, or 23.50 do.
Total $1889.55 $63.28 do.
The distance of the trees asunder is stated
to be ten feet—at the same rate there would
be 435 on an acre—which if yielding like the
rest would give a total for the seven years of
$27,398, or $3914 annual average. The ques
lion occurs —if this result can be obtained
from a whole row, why not from an acre?
The numerous disappointments which the
planters of pear orchards have met with, are
owing to the fact that they have begun all at
once on a large scale, without understanding
their trade. The three requisites for carrying
on this trade successfully, are to ascertain by
experiment on the ground, or in each locality,
what sorts succeed the best; secondly, how to
cultivate and prune them to the best advan
tage, and thirdly, how to pack well, and to find
a propei-market. In the instance we have
quoted, fifty varieties were taken to begin with
—it is, perhaps, not necessary to try so many
now. Several years were occupied in deter
mining the best. All these points, arid many
others, must be thoroughly learned before the
owner can conduct his business to the best
advantage. If a western wood chopper should
go into New York ©ity, and engage in the
wholesale silk trade, he would succeed no bet
ter than the farmer, who, with no experience,
sets out a thousand pear trees for ntarket.
The former would, doubtless come to the con
clusion that the silk trade is very risky busi
ness, ar.d the latter, that marketing pears is a
humbug. — Country Gent. & -
Glanders.
The Academy of Sciences has received a
paper from Dr. Guyon on the transmission of
glanders from the horse to man and converse
ly. Some years ago a captain of artillery at
Algiers was entrusted with the care of the
diseased horses and mules of his regiment,
and took advantage of the circumstances to
devote particular care to a few of his own
horses attacked with farcy. During this time
he fell sick, and after several months’ treat
ment at home was taken to the military hos
pital in a dangerous state. The medical prac
titioners who attended him were unable to
discover the nature of his malady until with
in a few days of his death, when it turned out
to be a well-characterized case of glanders.
The blood and morbid humors of the dead
body were innoculated on two mares, a horse,
and* a mule, four animals unfit for service,
and placed at the disposal of the physicians
by the military authorities. The disorder
was reproduced on the horse, the mule, and
on one of the two mares; perhaps it would
have made its appearance on the other lisewise
had the latter not been killed too- soon. A
long while after all these occurrences, a
military physician who had helped to dissect
the captain’s body, and had had his share in
the above mentioned experiments, gradually
declined in health. He had returned to
France by that time, and was living in easy
circumstances. His illness was long, and ac
companied by symptoms suigenris , unknown
in human pathology, such as glandular swell
ings with, suppurating eruptions on various
parts of the body, a peculiar furgidity of the
nose, and an abundant and daily increasing
suppuration of its mucous membrane. It was
not until the nature of the disorder had be- ,
come quite patent that the unfortunate phy
slektu recollected his having pricked himself
very slightly while dissecting the captain's
body. The disease ended in death, eleven
years after the infliction off the wound. It
follows that the affection called glanders pe
culiar to horses, is transmissable to mutV-and
from him to both man and beast.— VPeslehi
Rualist.
Profits of Poultry.
Nothing which the farmer produces is of
quicker sale than eggs and poultry. The
prices which he receives therefor are in the
main remunerative; the labor incurred is light
and agreeable, and can be performed by the
junior members of his family. The poultry
yard produces food which is highly palatable
and nutritious at all seasons, and in this respect
is hardly equalled by any other department
of the farm. Is it not worth while, then, to
bestow more care and skill in managing the
poultry ? Left to themselves, half their pro
ducts are often wasted, and half the year are
non-layersr In the winter they need simply
warmth, light and sunshine, clean, roomy
quarters, and pleanty of food. Every day
they will pay fort- this. In the summer they
want range, fresh earth ; shade water seclusion,
and protection from vermin. An abundance
of eggs and broods of plump chickens, either
for market or the farmer’s own table., vyill re
sult from this care. It is not feasible to carry
on the poultry business on an enormous scale.
Many have tried it and failed ; but every far
mer should make a couple of hundred dollars
worth of their products yearly. That, at
least, can be done with profit and pleasure.
It is a business adapted for the boys and girls,
and they will speedily take a lively interest
in it if only proper encouragement is given.

“Tabby and Her Kits.”
Old Mrs. Tajaby, a motherly dame,
(Very tidj and neat you would think,)
Has tried all she could, to train up to be good
Her little ones, “Spotty ” and “ Pink.” '
Now Spotty and Pink are as chttbby young kits
As you ever could wish to behold ;
Full ol mischief and fun they will frolic and run,
As if they could never grow old.
Mrs. Tab often gives them a “ pat ” of rebuke,
Yet-they laugh at each motherly hit,
As much as to say, “ Did you never love play ?
And pray' were you never a kit?”
But theu, after all, it is plain to bo seen,
By the pleased quiet look of her eyes,
That it gladdens her heart to witness their sport,
While she chides so demurely and wise.
They see how it is, the saucy young kits,
And if other amusements should fail,
They will spring,without fear, at her whisker or ear,
Or play, jump aud catch with her tail.
One day mother Tabby came in from the field
With a proud stately step to (he house,
And what do you think she brought Spotty and Pink?
But a funny wee little live .House.
The kits now commenced their most frolicsome
pranks;
They fairly were wild with delight.
As they fumbled and shook, then toss’d and forsook,
The mousy near dying with fright.
Now “Towser,” the house-dog, was taking a nap,
And happ’ning to open an eye,
He saw at a glance, here was a rare chance
To train these young pussies so sly.
“ My ladies,” said he, “you’re so fond of the play
Which you with such zest have begun,
I will try iny paw too, making mousies of you,
Then see how you relish the fun,” , - .
So, giving Miss Spotty a vigorous shake,
In less time than you could sty “Jack,”
He caught little Pink, and as quick as a wink,
He toss’d her quite over his back.
The pert little kits, taken quite by surprise,
Showed no wish to continue the strife, *.
But scamper’d with fright, aud were soon out of
sight,
And mousey escaped with its life.
Old Towser growled after a word of advice
At parting, as if he would say,„
“Look to it again, that you cause not more pain
Than the pleasure you take in your play.”
— Standard.
The Best Joke of the Season.
“ The best joke of the season ! the very best
joke I ever played !” gasped Ned Towers,
quite out of breath from toiling Up the long
hill from the soa. ‘‘l don’t think young Stokes
will set me down again in a hurry.”
“Why, what have you done now? Tell us
your joke? What fresh torment have you in
vented for that miserable boy ?” cried isolated
voices here and there from the nooks of the
long schoolroom, almost deserted to-day, from
two substantial causes—namely the absence
of the head master, Dr. Black, and the boon
of a whole holiday, to the school.
“ I set him down, that’s all—tit-for-tat, you
know—set him down on the top of a high rock
out at sen—there, that rock out bey'ond the
island ; if you look, you can catch a glimpse
of his hat with the blue ribbon, just a little
way round that corner. Do you see, Mark
ham ?”
Two or three boys who enjoyed jokes of
this kind rushed to the open window at the
further end -of the room, and craned their
necks in the direction seaward pointed out to
them by Towers.
“How did you manage to get either him or
the boat out there ? I should have thought
Stokes knew you too well by this time to trust
himself in your hands.”
“ Not he—the tamest little bird that ever
was snared, if you go the right way about it.
Why, I just got six or seven small eggs from
the cook, and made him believe they were
gull’s eggs. I told him I had been so moved
by the sermon he gave me on cruelty this
morning, that I was going to put back some
sea-birds’ eggs in a nest which I had robbed
last night. He belived every word I said, and
was all in a shake of delight as we went down
the hill, and asked me if I would allow him
to put the eggs back in the nest. to the
boat, I found it already half afloat,*! had no
trouble that way.”
“ How you did gull the poor little fellow !”
laughed Broughton ; “ but I say, how long do
you intend to leave him there? we are late as
it is, waiting for you to come back; all the
boys are off' already on the paper hunt, and
we shall have to put on a plenty of extrai
steam to overtake them.”
“All right, let’s start at once, we shall be
back in lots of time to take him down from
his perch before dinner.”
“ Did he holloa much after you ?” ques
tioned Markham.”
“Did not he just! and begged me to take
him off, or he would be drowned. I knew
there was no fear o/ that; but his face got so
■awfully white, I rowed the boat round to the
foot of the rock, and offered to take him down
if he’d retract what he said of me this morn
ing; but fancy the impudence of the boy—he
shouted down to me that he would not, and
that I was even crueller than he thought I
was. So now he may cool his temper in. the
sea-breezes till dinner time. Come, let’s be
off, boys, for we have no time to lose.”
There was a general tramping across the
school-room as the boys followed their leader,
and went out to join the paper-hunt, over the
heathery hill into the valley beyond. Only
one boy, Richard Campbell, remained behind,
who, disabled by a lately sprained ankle, was
unfit for so long and tiresome a chase. His
attention during the foregoing couvcFsatib#:
had appeared absorbed in the contemplation"
of his aquarium, Xo which been just added
some choice specimens ; but he rose presently
also, and taking his stick from the windowsill
beside him, limped out of the room.
Mount Eagle College stood half way up a
breezy hill, whose foot was in the blue sea,
ar.d whose head, on this lovely summer day,
seemed touching the blue sky. Never was
there such a spot for happy school boy games;
ifcs heather and gorse could hide the flying hare,
and its woods the chosen band selected to act
the part of brave Robin Hood and his com
panions. A holiday at Mount Eagle was a
thing to be enjoyed beyond other and tamer
holidays. And such a day, too, as the boys
had for their chase ; not a breath of wind was
stirring to destroy the white tracks of the fly
ing luufe or to drown the sound of hurrying
footsteps* The hawk poised in-mid air,
watched the excited pursuing crowd come
swarming up the hill, while the sea-bii'd,
hovering over tne creeping waters, flew scared
to land, frightened by the cry of a human
voipe far out at sea among the rocks.
Poor little Willie Stokes, with blanched face
and long white hair, draggled with damp and
tears. Was there no one at hand to save?
was there no ear open that could hear ? for
the sea, though so still and calm, seemed
full of deadly purpose, and the sea-weed which
had hung dry and shrivelled on the rocks for
many a week, to-day was spreading its yellow
palms upon the waters.
Well, the longest hour and the pleasantest
hour must both come to an end, and down un
der a huge boulder of rock, in the midst of a
yellow furze-bush, the hare has been pinned.
The gong from the college has throbbed up the
hill, through the heather, summoning the boys
to dinner, and down on the sea-shore the waves
are still silently creeping up over their aecus
tomed land marks.
“ Well, boys, had you good sport to day ?”
asked the second master, by name Wingfield,
taking the-bead of the table, as the boys troop
ed in, red "and flushed, to dinner; “ I heard
great shouting on the hill.”
“ Yes, sir, the finest run we ever had.; we
tracked our hare right over the steep shoulder
of the hill, past the monument, right away
down into the sheep-walk on the other side.”
“You were not able to go, I suppose, Camp
bell?” S
“No, sir; but I took a good long walk, for
all that—all the way down to the sea
shore.”
“ Did you find any new specimens for your
aquarium ?”
“No, sir; it’s a spring tide to day; the rocks
are all covered with water, and there is scarce
ly a rim of dry land to walk on.”
There was a sudden start somewhere low
down the hall, and a chair was pushed back a
foot or so from the table.
Keep your place, Towers, and don’t begin
"any of your noisy pranks. 1 say, boys, where
is young Stokes ? I don’t see him here."
“I don’t know, sir; I suppose we must have
left him behind us on the hill,” replied several
voices, from boys xshowere evidently unaware
that poor Stokes had not formed one of their
parly. “He is such a small, weak fellow, he
loses breath, and cannot keep up with the big
ones.”
“ Some of you big ones ought to have
looked after him, then. You must al) go up
the hill, after dinner, and search for him until
you find him.” *
I—[—PH g 0 an( j ] oo jj f or him now, sir,”
stammered Towers, again pushing back his
chair, and.trying to catch a glimpse of the
sea through the far window. u I—l’m not
hungry. The little chap may got spill
coming over the rocks. Let me go, sir, if
you please, and look for him—l’d like to go
awfully/’
All heads turned in amazement at this re
quest, proffered it was by the bully of the
school and acknowledged enemy of all small
boys; and still greater was the general surprise
to see the sudden pallor which had ’spread
over Towers’ rubicund, freckled face. Only
the two or three boys who had shared his joke
in the morning understood the secret of this
sudden fear and strange pity.
“Keep your place till dinner is over; you'
may go choose; though you are
scarcely the kind *f messenger I should se
lect,”'replied the piaster dryly.
Towers’ dinner remained untasted on his
► plate, and to the guilty two or three at the ta
ble the meal seemed the longest they had ever
sat through. But, after grace had been said
and they arose from the table, there was a
movement towards the window at the far end
of the room, and a supposed groan from
Towers’ as he leaned out and looked across at
the sea, where not a vestige of rock or island
was to be seen—nothing but the smooth green
waters, with just a dark shadow showing where
the rocks lay deeply beneath.
The secret of Stokes’ absence could now
no longer be kept concealed. Towers’ terri
fied, bewildered manner, called for explanation,
and those who had laughed with him in the
morning, now hurried to explain its meaning.
Soon the whole school was in commotion,
and parties of pitying, terrified boys trooped
down to the sea-shore, to see if they could
learn anything of the fate of their companion.
But evening darkenedvon the search; the
moon rose over the hill and sea; the doctor
was hourly expected home, and no tidings of
the lost boy came to shore, only his straw hat
with its blue ribbon, which the tide had car
ried up to the foot of the cliffs.
Exhausted and worn out by fear and sor
row, Towers sat now in his own room ; or
rather lay upon the floor groaning with fear
and sorrow. Thtf-ooys, his companions, had
all deserted him, and left him to think over,
in solitude and darkness, the result of his
morning’s joke,
Some one opened the door and came in
slowly, candle in jtand. It was Campbell, his
acknowledged enemy—eonie in, no doubt to
gloat over his despair.
“ Well, Towers, what do you think now of
your morning’s work? are you satisfied with
the success of your joke ?”
“ 1 did only tnfan it for a joke. I did in
deed, Campbell.”
“There are two kinds of jokes,” replied
Campbell, dryly.
“ Yes, yes, I know there are ; but this is the
worst joke l ever played.”
“Think of hispoor mother,and he is her only
child,” continued Campbell, with apparent
cruelty.
“Don’t, don’t! I cannot bear it!” cried the
sobbing bully. “When I think of his white
face, and his little arms stretched out after me,
why, I’d stop a year on the top of that rock
to have him safe again.”
I '“Think of his empty bed in the next room,
and how you laughed at him the other night
for kneeling beside it, and saying the prayers
his mother taught him.”
“O God! - forgive me for it now!” cried
Towers with anguish.
“Come in, then, and kneel down in the
same spot beside the bed, and ask for that
forgiveness.”
“ l could not—l could not go into that
room ! don.’t ask me !” pleaded Towers.
“ But you shall,” replied Campbell, raising
him from the floor unceremoniously.
Towers followed tremblingly ; there was a
force in'Campbell’s manner to-night against
which he felt too weak to rebel.
The moon was shining faintly in the quiet
room ; the curtain I ess beds were ranged order
ly round the walls. ,*■:>> 74 „
“l played a joke, too, to day—if :l thing can
be called a joke which only gives parnob
served Campbell, as he blew out the .candle,
and -his voice sunk to a whisper ; “but some
day you will forgive me for it;” and he pushed
Towers forward
Towers covered his eyes with his hand and
stumbled aertfU the room, then fell on his
knees beside, the bed, and almost forgetful of
poured out his earnest
confession arid call for forgiveness; but even
w„hile the worck still came sobbing from his
heart, he became aware of a litle soft hand
creeping towards him in the darkness, and a
child’s voice* 01 of infinite pity, which asked
him. the his grief.
The shock wlls almost too great for Towers.
He withdrew hbs hand suddenly from his eyes.
The moon was’shining full on the bed before
which he knelt,; but unlike its silent compan
ions, the quilt was tossed, the pillow was
drawn to one Side, and in the centre of it, like
a piece of moonlight itself, lay the white face
of little Willie.
He was safe, then, poor little Willie Stokes !
Out on the far rock in the silent sea, there had
been an ear open which could hear, and an
arm which could save. God was not willing
that this little one, who loved him, should
perish.”
Towers’ joy became almost as overpower
ing as his grief, and he hugged the restored
child with such energy, that Campbell thought
well to withdraw him from the room, and
walking a little way out with him on the
moon, lit hill, explained to him how it all came
about.
“ You had scarcely left the room, Towers,
before I remembered there was a spring tide
to-day. I had no time to go looking about for
help, so was forced to tell Wingfield of
Stokes’ danger. We went down to the shore
together, and reached the rock just as the wa
ter had touched "his boots. The little fellow
had grown quite silly and confused, and could
not say a connected word when we lifted him
into the boat; so we thought it best to put
him to bed. Besides—besides,” hesitated
Campbell.
“Besides what ? Go op ; I guess what you
mean.”
“Besides, Wingfield said, and I agreed with
him, it was better you should learn for once
the kind of pain you so constantly inflict on
others.”
Towers was silent, but he streehed out his
hand to his new friend, and wrung it.
Thus ended, in tears and mortification, but
repentance, “ythe best joke of the season.”—
The Quiver. I
Helping one Another.
“Why, Isaac, you seemed to be much pleas
ed ! what has happened ?”
“I will tell jou. As I was (summing along
to school, almost ready to cry because I could
not say my lesson, one of the boys asked me
why l was so sad, I told him the reason.”
“ ‘Do n*»t be discouraged,’ said lie, ‘I kiuw
how you feel; let me help you.’ Then he
went over the lesson, and I said it after him,
until 1 knew- it all.
~ “ I asked him how he came to be so kind to
me.”
“ ‘Because,’ said he, ‘ I know your trouble ;
for I was once just so, and a man stopped me
and helped me over the difficulty, as 1 have
you.’
“ He said, too, that when he thanked the
man, he was told to do the same kindness to
the first boy he found in the same trouble.” —

AN IMPORTANT BOOK.
MELL'S PARLIAMENTARY PRACTICE.
Being a Manual of Rules for Conducting Business in
Deliberative Assemblies, and in Churches, Associations
and Conventions, by Rev. P. H. M ell, D.D., President
of Southern Baptist Convention and Ytce-GftaticeHorof
the University of Georgia.
Author’s Preface.— This Manual has been prepared
at the request of the Southern Baptist Convention. If
it has been properly prepared, it will be of service not
only to that body, but, in principle, to members of de
liberative assemblies of every kind. While free use has
been made of other Manuals, —from Jefferson’s on—
and, in unimportant particulars, their very words have
been used, sometimes tyith and sometimes without ac
knowledgement, it claims to be a modest attempt in its
own way to analyze and digest the subject of parlia
mentary science. The effort is made, in a plain and
simple way, not only to give the usual rules, and to
suggest the principles upon which they are based, but
also to settle definitely all the ordinary questions, and
to solve all the ordinary doubts that arise. And it is
hoped that intelligent presiding officers, who have not
had the advantage of legislative training, will find in
this work hints and instructions which will enable them,
with dignity and efficiency, to perform the duties of
their office.
The author submits it with modesty to the judgment
of his brethren and the public. B. H. M.

EDUCATION, a topic of the highest importance in a
country like the United States, where the safety of the
nation depends upon the intelligence of the people, will
receive special attention.
It is not proposed to engage in partisan or sectarian
warfare, but vital questions of the day will not be neg

condition of the country will be handled by an author
who, to a practical knowledge of business and blinking,
has added a lifelong study of the science of Public
Wealth.
Contributions to the pages of the Magazine are solici
ted from all parts of our comnn n country. American
writers and American affairs will claim the greater part
of the space at command, but not to the exclusion of
European topics. The Publishers’ first choice ot a wri
ter upon the politics of the Old World was a Statesman
and Historian, now residing in London, an acknowledged
leader of the Progressive Purty in Europe, aod one who
“is recognized in France as the purest master of stvle
among living writers; graceful and delicate in descrip
tion, keen in satire, simple lin'd imposing in his gtaver
eloquence; ” and they have great pleasure in announc
ing that be has accepted the propositions made to him,
and will he a regular contributor to the pages of the
Magazine.
11l addition to tire above features, each number will
contain, a paper entitled OUR MONTHLY' GOSSIP,
written in a genial style, in which Notes and Queries,
Answers to Correspondents, Anecdotes and Miscellanies
will find a place. •
