Home amt Farm. j A groat error and misapprehen- I ®iou Las heretofore, and does yet, exist regarding tho capacity of the South for producing apples. Thou* sands ot intelligent men tally be-* lievo that it is impossible to raise good winter-keeping apples here, anduhai.it is necessary to look to tho North for their good keeping varieties. That this impression has not originated because of climate nnstiited to the healthy growth ot applee, is abundantly shown bv the successful production of summer and fall varieties; but it is an evi dent fact that tho scarcity of good winter fruit is referable to a groat mistake of selecting winter varie ties of Northern States which, al though well adapted to tho districts where they originated, aro of no val ue whatever in our climate, as the heat of summer months forces them into permalure ripening and causes them to full from the treo nnd with the hopes and anticipations of the grower. Every district must therefore look to its own nativo seedlings for long-keeping varieties, and a prop er selection ol these will not fail to be successful, na experience has proved and will prove. I consider tho apple te bo the surest nnd most successful of all fruits, except tbo grace, and one which seems to udapt itscll to all soils and locali ties. The apple so far as my obser vation extends, is, liable to little or or no diseases, and may bo consid. ered safe and reliable if winter va rieties nro selected with care from your own native seedlings. A cus tom prevails with tho pooplo of tho South of considering their best win ter varieties worthless, as they are not palatable when first taken from the trees. If they would lay them away until they trad time to ripen they would find that they posseosod an untold treasure. Condensed Novelties. Mrs Hunter was carrying two bun dles aboard the day boat for Albany, in New York, when Mr Snyder kindly relieved her of helf the burden. On deck they sailed up the Hudson they rapidly grew well acquainted, though previously total strangers. He was a widower, aged 61, and an Ulster coun ty farmer; she was a widow aged 35, and a seamstress in New York. He asked her to marry him. She was surprised, but not offended. She ask e 1 for time to think the offer over. Certainly—he would give her until the boat reached Newburg, Then she must go ashore with him and get mar ried, 01 stay on board and remain sin gle. Just as the plank was about to be hauled in at Newburg, she said “Yes,” and the couple went off with the two bundles. A justice perform ed the ceremony and Mr. and Mrs. Snyder travelled on by rail. The roost candid young man in Austin says the Siftings is Nicodemus Murphy. He called at the office of a wealthy citizen and came right out and said: “I want to marry your daughter; I can’t live without her.” "Are pou acquainted with my daugh ter?” ,r Not in the least.” ‘ How, then, do you know you can’t live with out her?” “Well, I hear you were going to give her lots of money when she married, and my personal expen. ses are so heavy I can’t live without her—or some other woman who has got money to support a husband. When “You Town Niggers ’Vides” From the Walton, On., News. Saturday night as we were passing down the street we heard a country make the following remarks to a town colored politician, who had been beg ging him to vote as he said: You town niggers needn’ say nothing to me 'bout votin’. You has your generals, your captains and your corprals, and every one of you git money for votin’, and we country niggers never gits none. You may call me dimicrat or publican, jes’ as you please, but I’se gwine to vote jost as I please, less’n you town niggers vides your money wid me and then I’ll sorter begin to listen at you.

A few years ago a steamer was coming from California, Tho cry of Fire, tiro 1’ suddenly thrilled ev ery heart. Every effort was made to stay tho llames, but in vain. It soon became evident that tbo ship must be lost. The burning mass was headed for sh re whiclt was not far off. A pnsseuger was seen buck, liug his belt ol gold around his waist, ready to plunge into tho waxes. Just then a pleading voice arrested hint: Please, sir, can you swim ? A child's blue eves xvere piercing into his deepest soul as he looked down upon her. ‘Yes, child, I can swim,' ‘Well, sir, won't you pleaso save me ? I cannot do both, lie thought. ‘I must save the child and lose the gold, lint a moment ugo I was anxious for this whole ship's com. panyjnowl ant doubting who'.her I shall oxehange human lilo for paltry gold.* 1 Unbuckling the belt be cast it from him and said, ‘Yes, little girl, I will try to save you/ Stooping down ho liudo her clasp her hands around his neck. ‘Thus, child; not so tight ns to cboKo m< . Thore, hang on noxv, aud I will try to make land." The child bowed herself on his broad shoulders, and clung to her de liverer. With a heart thrice strength ened and an arm thrice nerved, he struck out for shore. Wave after wave washed over them. Still the brave man held out, and the dear child on, until a mighty mountain bil low swept the sweet treasure from his embrace, and cast him senseless on the bleak rocks. Kind hands minis tered to him. Recovering his con sciousness, the form of the dear child met his earnest gaze, bending over him with more than angel ministra tions, and blessing him xvith mute hut eloquent benedictions. Saving our Own Seed. Those who take pride in the quality of their garden products may gain a Urge point by saving t'loirown seeds. It is time the ax iom wore accepted by every farmer ' n 1 gardner that without selection in seed, quality will degenerate. No good farmer would bo willing to plant, on his farm corn of the av erage commercial quality. Yet I hat is just what we do when we buy garden seeds of the common seeds man, It is no imputation against tbo integrity of tbo seedman to say that while h 1 requires seeds by the hundred bushels, he cannot use the sumo caro iu selection tbo gardner nmy who requires but a few quarts or ouncos. A who is un usually successful in growing cab bugos, once told mo that bis chief secret was iu his seed, and that if he were to purclmso seed of the quality offered by ordinary seed men, be should expect only failure. Another gardner, who is very suc cessful with cauliflowers, roooatiy tokl me that ho could never get a good head from sood sold in this country, Hu sent to England and purchased seed of a firm who make cauliflowers a speciality, and then ho had no trouble in getting heads of first quality. ‘Bnt,‘ h 9 added, ‘I was surprised to find that English seed is very much mixed, —South- ern Farmer, The reason why the thermometer does not always accord with the comparative discomfort of hot weather is owing to variation ol moisture in the air. While the hu man body is all the time giving off perspiration, either sensible or in sensible, this evaporation will go on more rapidly when the air contains but little moisture than when it con tains a great deal. Evaporation is cooling when it has n > obstruction; but when it is obstructed by moist air, the reverse effect is produced, and a temperature of 80 degrees Is quito as oppressive as that of 90 when the air is dry. Only about one out of ten negro cabins in the South have windows. When the occupants want any day light for any particular purpose they walk out-doors. The Baptist WeeKly says: It should make Christiana blush to know that the bees in this country do much mere in making honey than the churches of all denomina tions in raising money for missions. The value of the honey crop ex ceeds $8,000,000 annually, while CJiitribulions for foreign missions amount to less than $2,500,'300/ Comment by us is unnecessary.
