Cold and wet bottoms need now to he

up and follow plow at once with harrow
l-efore the clods can dry and get hard
If the harrow does not crush them, go
over with a drag; if done just after the

posing of the clods. If rakis come and
pack down the surface, harrow over

costs very little, much less than the bard
work which will come if weeds and grass

Acid Phosphate and Cotton Seed Meal
for Cotton.
I want to use phosphate and cotton
seed meal on cotton ; what portortion is
best ? I have also a large quantity of salt
from packing meat; would it add any
value to the mixture, and what amount
should I use ? What difference in effect
would there be in the use of the salt and
kainit, and which would the mixture
require most of, if either could be used
to advantage ?
Answer. —If the land is poor, mix 6^0
pounds of cotton seed meal with 1,400
pounds of phosphate; if rich, 500 pounds
of meal to 1,500 pounds of phosphate will
be better. Salt will do some good by
increasing the solubility of the phos¬
phate. Mix in such quantity that in
applying there shall be 100 pounds of
salt per acre. Kainit contains potash as
its most valuable ingredient; also con¬
tains salt. It has all the beneficial action
of salt with the additional benefit from
potash where the soil is lacking in that
substance. One hundred pounds of kai¬
nit per acre is sufficient if applied in
drill *,—Southern Cultivator.
Preserving Eggs.
The Prairie Farmer says: “The
keeping of eggs being almost wholly a
question of temperature and the exclu¬
sion of *ir from them, it follows that any
plan which will do both in the cheapest
and most eflectnal way will be the best.
Hence eggs are kept in very great num*
bers by cold storage—that is by provid¬
ing a steady low temperature not above
thirty-five degrees Fahr. But this is
expensive. When, however, the tem¬
perature can be kept down to seventy
five degrees and below, if eggs are packed
in some dry clean substance which will
exclude the atmospheric air, they may be
iept in a comparatively fresh state fur
months. This may be done in the fol¬
lowing way : Provide clean dry packages
not exceeding, in capacity, ilie quarter or
third of a barrel, and a sufficiency of
fiuely ground land plaster, such as is used
for agricultural purposes. Commence by
putting a layer of the plaster two inches
deep on the bottom of the package, and
into this set the eggs small ead down, so
the eggs will be separate from each other.
When the strata of eggs is complete, add
more plaster, then anoth r stratum of
eggs till the package is full. If the work
is done ca efully, all the eggs are sound
when packed, and each egg is separate
from every other, and the temperature
not allowed to get above seventy-five
degrees, the result in every case will be
satisfactory.”

Mme. Poslain, the young wife of t
well-to-do French merchant, was see*
by her husband to secrete a paper when
he entered the room, and, as she re<
fused to say what it was, he leveled a
revolver (which every one seems now¬
adays to carry in Paris) at her, and,
she being still obdurate, he at length
fired, wounding her iu the hip. Then,
horrified, he threw himself from the
third story, breaking one arm and two
legs, Madame is likely to recover. It
was only a rather long milliner’s bill.
Treating.—A bill has been passed by
the Nevada Assembly imjiosing a fine of
520 on any person who treats another in
a saloon. The bill does not prevent any
number of persons from going into a
saloon and drinking together, but re¬
quires that each man shall pay for his
own drink. A bill of the same nature
passed the Wisconsin Legislature, but
upon a test case being taken to the
Supreme Court the bill was declared un¬
constitutional.
I THE OLD MILL.
Hare from the brow of the hill I look
Throngh a lattice of bonghs and leaves
On the old gray mill with its gambrel roof.
And the moss on its rotting eaves,
I bear the clatter that jars its walls,
And the rushing water’s sound,
Aud I see the black floats rise and fall
As the wheel goes elowiy round.
I rode there often when I was young,
With my grist on the horse before,
And talked with Nel.io. the miller’s girl,
As I waited nty turn at the door.
And while she tossed her riuglets brown,
And flirted and chatted so free,
Tbe wheel might stop or the wheel might go,
It was all the same to mo.
’Tis twenty years since last I stood
On the spot where i stand to-day,
And Nellie is wtd and the miller 1 b dead,
And the mill and I are gray.
But both, till we fall into ruin and wreck,
To our fortunes of toil are bound,
And the man goes and the stream flows,
And the wheel moves slowly round.

TIIE OLD BACHELOR.
“How did I come to adopt her ?” My
dear friend, that is about one of the sil¬
liest questions I ever heard to come
from a man of your wisdom and com¬
mon sc-nse ! It was Fate, that’s what it
was ! Personally, I had no more to do
with it than yon have this moment
These things are all ordained and marked
out for ns, and we can neither avoid nor
alter them. Fatality, do you call the
doctrine? Well, call it what you will—
there it is, and you can’t make anything
else out of it!
But about little Magdalen. I was
coming down Broadway in a great
hurry to catch au up’own stage before
all those ferry people blocked into it,
when there she sat on a curb-stone, the
wind blowing hpr yellow hair about and
her poor little hands blue with cold,
crying as if her heart would break. I
didn’t think the veriest savage could
have helped stopping to ask her what
the matter was, and I don’t call myself
a savage, if I do happen to have my
little crusty fits now and then. So
says I:
“Child, what’s the matter?”
“I’m lost!” said she.
And come to inquire, why, the poor
little elf was fatherless, motherless,
friendless, in all the wide world ! Of
course, I took her home, aud you ought
to have seen old Hannah, my house
keeper, stare when I walked in with the
yeliow-baired baby clinging to the
little finger of my left hand. For she
wasn't more than eight years old, end
small at that !
“I give you a monih’s warning, sir I”
says Hannah. But, bless your soul, she
didn’t go. Maggie took her heart by
jtorm, as she always hag done that of
the rest of the world, and at the month’s
end you couldn’t have hired old Hanuab
to )< avi the child.
Well, sir, she grew up as tsll as a
reed, end ns pr> tty as a posy, I sent her
to Madam Auaard’s fashionable French
hoaiding-school, for I was not going to
have my Maggie n whit behind any
one s else girl I can tell yon. My sister
Si mpkins n! j cfed. You hop, with those
nine daughters of heie, she grudged
every penny of mv money that was
spent on any one else.
‘ Your puffing silly notions in the
child’s head,” said she. “A girl that
will have her own living to earn, ought
not to mingle with Madam Aimard’s
young ladies.”
“I should like to know why ?” says I.
“Because she is in no way their
equal 1” said Sister SimpkinB.
“Fiddlesticks 1” says I. “My Maggie
is good and pretty, and if that don’t
constitute equality with any girl alive,
I’ll own up that we don’t live in a repub¬
lican country ! As for earning her own
living, why it’s my business to look
after that, and no one else need trouble
their head aboat it 1 ”
Mrs. Simpkins pursed up her lips and
looked unutterable things, but she did
not dare to say anything more. She
knew of old that I wasn’t to be disputed
when my will was up. But I sent the
nine Miss Simpkinses nine coral neck¬
laces tbe next Christmas, and that kept
the peace for awhile.
When she came home from the board¬
ing-school, she was prettier than ever—
tall, as I said liefore, with yellow, silky
hair, great shady-looking blue eyes,
with lashes that curled up at the ends,
and cheeks as fresh and pink as I re¬
member the inside of two big shells that
used to stand on my grandfather’s best
room mantel fifty good years ago.
So I cast aboat in my mind to find
some new plan for making the old house
lively for my little girl. I knew she
couldn’t thrive without her innocent
gayetiee, any more than a bird conld
without free air and sunshine; so I in¬
vited company, and made up little im¬
promptu parties and frolics, and heat
my brains for something to keep her
amused. Aud I believe I succeeded,
too, for her step was as light as a
feather, and you could hear her sing all
over the h >nse, when she thought she
was alone.
And one day old Hannah came in.
dusting chairs, and prying about foi
finger-marks on the paiut in her odd,
near-sighted way.
“Mr. Pelham,” says she, rubbing
away at a door-knob that was as bright
before as hands conld make it, “what
would you say if we were to have a wed¬
ding in the old house ?”
“A wedding !” I dropped my pen so
that it made a big round blot on the pa¬
per, and stared. “Why, you’re not go¬
ing to be married, Hannah, after all
these years ?”
“Do I look like it?” sniffed Hannah,
contemptuously—and, to tell the truth,
she didn’t very much. “No, indeed,
sir; I hope I krow my place better than
that. It’s Miss Maggie I’m thinking
of, sir.”
I sat as if I had been stricken with a
paralytic shock. Maggie to be married !
Strange that I had never thought of
that, as a natural consequence of
parties, companies, eveniug oonoerts
and summer picnics ! And somehow a
desolate chill crept down my veins as
thought how lonesome and dreary the
old house would seem without Maggie.
“What makes you think so, Han¬
nah ?” I asked rather dolorously, and
the old woman lowered her voice mys¬
teriously as she answered :
“It's that Mr. Carlisle—he keeps com¬
ing all the time, and it’s my honest be¬
lief he just worships the ground my
young lady walks on. He is very hand¬
some, too, and folks tell me he’s worth
money.”
Mr. Carlisle I Well, old Hannah was
right He was a fine-looking fellow,
and well-to-do in this world’s goods; but
—who was there, after all, worthy of
my tall, golden-haired princess with
dewy blue eyes and lips like scarlet
coral newly plucked ont of the sea ?
Why couldn’t Carlisle go off and marry
one of the wise Miss Simpkinses, whose
mother was on the look-out for husbands
as an ogress watches for eatable young
travelers ? I began to hate Carlisle.
“Pooh !” said I, upsetting my waste¬
basket of papers over the floor with an
unwary fling of my feet. “I don’tthiuk
she cares for Carlisle.”
“Just you watch her, then, and see
for yourself,” said old Hannah, wisely
wagging her cap border. “I never did
set up for a prophet, Mr. Pelham, but
them as isn’t blind can’t help seeing,
aud our eyes Is given to us to use,”
So old Hannah went her way, leaving
me about as uncomfortable as a man
has any business to be. My Maggie to
be married ! My pretty blossom to be
plucked just as soon as it began to shed
fragrance round my door-stona I felt
as a monarch may whose domains are
invaded by an audacious foe. Should I
write Carlisle a note and tell him to go
about his business, or should I simply
convey to him by my manners the hint
that his presence was no longer specially
desirable, or—bnt old Hannah's words
recurred uncomfortably to my mind—
should I at first find out whether Mag¬
gie really did care for the young up¬
start ?
My head dropped on my hands—my
heart smik somewhere below zero at the
idea 1 I wondered if all fathers felt so
when gay youDg cavaliers came wooing
at their gates ! And, after all, Maggie
wasn’t my real child, dearly as I loved
and tenderly as I had cherished her.
I think I hardly slept all that night.
I tossed to and fro on my pillow, count
ing the chimes of the old clock, as one
by one it told the hours, thinking about
Maggie nnd Carlisle, and wondering if
the tardy daybreak would never redden
over ihe hill-tops.
By that time my mind was made up.
[ would repress all these selfish ideas
aud only think of my girl’s ultimate
- sappiness. If she liked Carlisle, why
Ctriisle should have her.
I rose, dressed and went down to my
• Duly. Tire first thing T saw was a uotc
lying on my library table. Probably ii
had arrived late last n ght. I broke ihc
real; it was from George Carlisle, asking
permission to address Miss Magdalen
Pelham.
Well—it was nothing more than I had
expected—in fact, it rather expedited
matters, which ought not to run too
slowly. I refolded the epistle, and
looked severely at myself in the opposite
glass.
“You middle-aged old fogy,” quoth I,
staring at myself with the severest ex¬
pression of countenance I could call up
at so short a notice, “I see throngh you.
Yon have dared to suppose bright-eyed
Magdalen could prefer you to these gay
young fellows nearer her own age—you
have even presumed to fall a little spice
in love with her yourself. It will do you
good to have some of the nonsense taken
out of you. At your time of life too !
Did you ever see a chestnut tree blos¬
soming in November or a grape-vine
loaded with blue fruit at mid-winter?”
So off I trudged into the garden where
Magdalen always walked in the early
morning to tell her of young Carlisle's
proposaL
She listened, looking very pretty and
preoccupied, until I had finished.
“Well?” said she.
“Well ?” I quoth, “what do you say?"
“What do I say? No, of course !”
“You mean yes, my dear,’’said I, “if
5 oil’ll only take time to think.”
“ I mean no!” she flashed ont. “Oh,
Mr. Pelham, how ean you think so
basely of me ?”
“Basely, my dear. I don’t compre¬
hend you.”
She was beginning to cry now—big,
sparkling drops like the first glittering
diamonds of a July shower.
“I don’t love him. I never can love
him.”
“But, why not, my dear?”
“Because I love somebody else,” she
sobbed, growing pinker and prettier
than ever.
“Who is it, Maggie? You’ll tell me,
won’t yon? Why, child”—as she shrank
blushingly back—“I am old enough to
be your father 1 ”
“You are not 1” she exclaimed, indig¬
nantly, “and yon are tho last person in
the world I would tell 1 ”
“My darling, why not ?”
The enigmas these women are I in¬
stead of answering me, she began to
cry again as if her dear little heart was
going to break.
And suddenly a great light flashed in
upon my mind !
“Magdalen 1 Darling! Is it me that
you love?"
And in another moment she was
laughing and crying on my breast!
The old chestnut tree was garlanded
with blossoms, even though its prime
was past—the vine of life was mantling
in blue clusters in the late, late harvest!
8 o I had to send as civil a note as pos¬
sible to young Carlisle—and it’s surpris¬
ing how my feelings moderated toward
him as I wrote it 1
And that is the way I won this peer¬
less rose among women to be my wife—
and I don’t think she has ever regretted
j shouldn’t marryiDg the old man yet. Though I
dare to call myself “old” in
her presence, to speak truth. People
say it’s a romantic story, but I say it is
only an illustration of the fact that there
j* more romance in real life than there is
in books, if we only knew it.

talmage os roller skatisg.
The Rev. Dr. Talmage said Sunday
that roller skating eclipsed coasting,
croquet, football, lawn tennis, and slid¬
ing by moonlight on a pond. It had an
advantage over the gymnasium in that
it was more exhilarating. It was good
for all men to take one hour a day for
roller skating, It would bring back
light to the eye and strength to the
body. It drove away neuralgia and
nervousness.
“But let ns have,” he continued, “no
more of the vulgarity aud immodesty
of young girls alone on the streets.
They should be chaperoned by mother,
father, brother, or one who has a right
to do it. If a young man tips his hat
to a young lady in a rink and is not
acquainted with her the proprietor must
lead him to the front door. If those
well-dressed devils we see on the streets
and sometimes at church doors should
get justice done them there would be
more honest amusements and purer
merriment. Let not brilliant lights and
exciting music tempt to prolonged exer¬
cise. At the door of every place of
amusement stands a group of pneumo¬
nias, waiting to escort you to the sepul¬
chre. Flirtation is damnation. When
in Broadway, New York, or in Fulton
street, Brooklyn, I see at the evening
hour daughters c>f respectable families,
whose conspicuous behavior is intended
to attract masculine observation, a hor¬
ror goes through my soul, If I had a
voice loud enough to reach from the
Penobscot to the Rio Grande I would
say flirtation is damnation.
“Meanwhile let the old people remem¬
ber that they were once young. Rheu¬
matism is incompetent to give law to
6 olid ankles. People who have the taste
of the old before they reach thirty
years bore the life out of prayer meet¬
ings, and disgust the world with the
cant of religion. God made boys and
girls, and gave them tastes to be grati¬
fied. Their bodies need strengthen¬
ing.”

THE GRUMBLE ft.
Iu his fast day sermon the R v. Mr.
Collyer tallied one—ami a good one—
against the chronic grumblers. Speak¬
ing on the question of taxes, he
said that last year there were a num¬
ber of taxpayers who, when the listers
c riled on them, were ready to swear
that they hadn’t anything at all, aud
these same individuals will this year
claim that their property has depre
ciated fearfully, and they are worse off
than they were last year.— St. Albans
(17.) Messenger.
The Christian Observer says: “The
Rev Phillip Brooks, in a recent sermon,
severely reprimanded the press for the
lack of discrimination in commenting
upon the moral character of men who
have figured largely in the community
for their wealth or in public stations.
If a Boston millionaire should die, he in¬
timated that the papers would extol
him for his wealth, aud make him out
to be a public benefactor wheth r tie
gained his wealth by fair means or foul,
Undoubtedly the press is in fault in this
matter. But is the pulpit so free from
fault as to be justified in casting stones
at the press. We trow not.”
WHY THET don’t GO TO CHURCH.
Rev. Charles H. Eaton took for the
subject of his Sunday’s sermon “Why
Do Not Young Men Go to Church?”
He said that, in answer to this question,
many explanations had been given by
yenng men who did not attend services.
Some of the explanations were frivolous
or given in chaff, as, for instance, one
young man said that he did not go be¬
cause his sweetheart did not, and an¬
other that the church was too cold in
winter. The speaker then reviewed
some of the more serious objections.
Among them were that there was too
much caste ia the churches, that Chris¬
tians were insincere and hypocritical and
that services were too lengthy and ser
mons too dull. Other young men
replied that they remained away from
church because they were skeptics or
out-and-out disbelievers in Christianity,
while others still claimed Sunday as a
day for recreation after a week’s hard
work, and believed churches to be places
for women only.
The preacher said there was not more
caste in the church than elsewhere; that
Christians, while not claiming perfec¬
tion, were, as a rule, sincere; that the
services were not too lengthy; that the
majority of sermons were not dull; that
church attendance did not prevent
young men having rest and recreation
on Sundays, and that if women did go
to church in greater nnmbers than men
it did not prove that this performance of
one’s duty to God was unmanly.
In speaking about those who assail re¬
ligion, he referred to Robert Ingersoll
as a wonderful word painter and elo¬
quent orator and as a Bhrewd politician
and good lawyer, but denied that he
had received sufficient training in re¬
ligious matters to set himself up ns an
expert on the merits or demerits ol
Christianity.

taken in 1882 give the population of
Russia in Europe as numbering 77,879,-

According to the Medical Record five

In social conversation with his staff
one of them asked Gen Joe Johnston
how many times he had been wounded.
He replied, “eight times.” The staff
remarked that he was the most unfortu

most fortunate; for it was only by the
mercy of God I was not killed on either
occasion.”
A few years ago, says the London
Standard, tho young people of Eag
land became imbued with the roller
skating craze, and rinks were built all j

was as brief as auy other vagarie of
fashion; the enthusiasm died away, the
rinks were deserted, the investors lost
their money, and roller skates disap.
peared in the land.

clude the wars of the republic, or the
loss of men tot horn in the kingdom of

A Bad Break.
Sam Peterby, a merchant from the
interior, while attending the Mardi
Gras festivities at Galveston, united
business with pleasure by purchasing a
bill of goods from a prominent firm.
He was very politely received, and one
of the proprietors showed him over the
immense store. On reaching the fourth
floor the customer perceived a speaking
tube on the wall, the first thing of the
kind he had ever seen.
“What is that ?” he asked.
“Oh, that is a speaking tube; it is a
great convenience. We can converse
with clerks on the first floor without the
trouble of gomg down stairs.”
“Can they hear what you say thtVmgb
that ?” asked the visitor.
“Certainly; and they can reply at the
same time.”
“You don’t say so!” exclaimed the
visitor. “May 1 talk through it ?”
“Certainly,” was the reply.
The visitor put hiB mouth to the
speaking tube aud asked:
“Are Sam Peterby’s goods packed up
yet ?”
The people in the office must have
supposed it was somebody else speaking,
for a moment later the distinot reply
came back:
“No. We have not packed them yet.
We are waiting for a telegram from his
town. We believe he is a slippery
cuss.”

With all the money spent on this great
