How to Detect a liipe Water-
uielon*
Few peoplo know, from an outside
inspection, hew to determine the ripe
ness and the perfection of a watermel
on. Inquiries ai* frequently made in
the horticultural journals as to the
means to be used to arrive at a relia-
ble rule for settling this question.
“Within a few days, says a correspon
dent of the Country Gentleman, I have
scef directions given to reach a direct
conclusion on the subject, by pressing
ths melon and noting the manner in
which it emits a crackling sound under
the operation. These results are to he
obtained after some experience in judg
ing of its peculiarity nuder pressure,
Considering the vast quantities of this
delicious fruit consumed at the North,
after shipment from the sections w
the vine flourishes, but where tlm fruit
is always picked iu an immature state
in order to bear transportation well, it
is really r. serious matter to bo able to
know certainly when buying a melon
perchance on the Rtreet or a dealer’)
stand, whether one is securing n rip<
melon or not. In nine caws out of t»*i
i*iy whiiu. il l* o uiKUiu r* ply was,I
wheu any of them demurred, "My dear
yon are not hungry if yon cannot eat'
bread.” Now, it in very certain that
her chihlt'm did not inherit n nia’ka-
bly robust constitutions; and under the
ordinary pampering *val*m of mothers
it ia fi*ir to suppose that inanv of them
would have died on become nuny men
ami women. When a eh*Id knows by
expeifence that he can have nothing
but broad hot ween mmls, ho will not
ask for it, uuIcks lie really needs it,and
then he will not take enough to dor troy
his keener npprtiie for the good things
at- thn table; while if he ia allowed
fruits and pastry, as so many children
arc, he will seldom come to his n.cals
with u fine relish for his food,and tak
ing it without that relifh it, fails to he

Osn* there was a young man
riod a young woman and she was rich
and he was pour, and it made him sad
to think of it. One day slie told him
dauibging stories about some of their
neighbors that she hud heard at a tea
figln, and he listened and thought, and
very so- n he saw a way out of his
poverty,foi bis wife believed the tide
ku- had heard ac the lea fight. After
.-iiH had fluiulwd the stories he said, I
will go you live to twenty that there

have just told me. For ho didn’t know
