" The happy morn has smiling come;
Before Ood's altar man anil wife,
Hand clasp Jd in Land, all silent stand,
One flonh, ono life:
Ah me! ab me!
Is it for joy or miser j?
The parting words with friends are said,
The slippers and the rice are cant,
And to new life new man and wife
Have gayly passed:
Ah me! ah me!
It Is to Joy or miscrj?
Is it to live as God has willed,
In bonds of love and sympathy?
Is it to Bbare or joy or care
Co-equally?
Is life to be
One grand soul-stirring harmony?
Or is it rather day by day
To waken to their cruel fate?
With icy heart to drift apart,
And learn too la' e
That life must be
A dull, dead waste of misery?
Nay, God forbid! but let them go
To snoh sweet life of perfect !ovo.
That baud in hand at length they'll stand
In heaven above,
And so may be
Cue life through all eternity.
FOR THE FAKJIEM'S HOUSEHOLD.
The Tnr-l!oi't of IVm-li Trecx.
Ouo of tho greatest essentials to tlio
growing of healthy, long-lived ami fruit
ful trees is tho preservation of their tap
roots as free from mutilation as possible.
This cannot be done where tho trees are
allowed to grow in the nursery until
they are of such size ns to reuiler their
removal impossible without more or less
injury to the roots the ninin support
ing one of wbieb is tho tap root. Na
ture has provided the peach, tipple, pear,
cherry, &c, with tap-roots to hold the
tree firmly in its place while the feeder
roots spread themselves out near the
surface in search of food. Auy interfer
ence, therefore, with this provision of
naturo must necessarily ertdanrjer the
life of the tree. To avoid this tho best
way is to plant the seed ns early in tbo
spring as possible in tho exact places
where the trees are to stand, and in the
month of June to bud them, thus gain
ing in a few months what, under the
usual system of transplanting, it takes
from two to three years to accomplish.
It is evident that the younger a tree is
when transplanted tho less danger there
is of injuring the tap-root the facilities
for digging and transplanting being so
much the greater, but by the mode hero
recommended all such danger is obvi
ated. Col. Randolph Fdters, of Delaware,
one of the largest and oldest fruit grow
ers in all this country, and of unques
tioned authority on all such subjects,
speaking of this matter,eay3: 'For twenty-five
years, iu the great peach-belt of
Delaware and the Chesapeake peninsula,
I have had peach-growers ask mo why it
was when onr choice varieties of peaches
come up from the seed and are allowed
to grow this way, that they are so much
hardier, longer lived and prolific than
those that are transplanted? A long
and careful observation has led mo to
know this to be tho case, and I am fully
convinced that catting tho tap roots and
changing them to surfaee roots is the
cause of this wonderful difference.
Col. E. Wilkins, of Kent county, Md.,
one of the largest peach growers in tho
country, if not in the world, and who
has planted largely of Jnno-budJed
peach trees, having some 20,000 now,
says: 'They nro so much superior to
trees that have been propigatod iu the
usual way that I would phut June-bud
ded trees if I had to pay from 30 to $30
a thousand more for them than for tho
same kind propagated iu tho old way.'
All this going to prove, first that small
trees budded where they stand aro not
only much the best for permanent or
chards, but will bear as soon as older
ones trausplante.l; secand, that perfect
tap-rooti are indispensable to long life
and fruitful bearing. The different in
freightage, too, is a matter of no small
moment to any ono buying lurgel.

Clood whitewash well applied to fences,
rough siding and the wills and ceilings
of buildings has a highly sanitary influ
ence, as well (ii being in tho highest
degree preservative m its eff e's. To
be durable, whitewash should ba pre
pared in the following manner: Take
the very best stonj limo and slake it in
a eloso tub, covered with a cloth to pre
serve the steam; salt, as much as can be
dissolved in the water used for slaking
and redncing the lime, should bo ap
plied, nnd tho whole mns.s oirefully
straiued and thickened with a small
quantity of sand, tho puror and Oner the
better. A few ponnds of whent ilonr
mixed as paste may be added, and will
give greater dnrtbility to the mass, es
pecially when applied to the exterior
surface of buildings. With pure lime,
properly slaked and mixed with twice its
weight of fine and sifted wood ashes, in
equal proportions, almost any color may
be made by tho addition of pigments.
Granite, slate,frcestone and other shades
may be imitated, and without any detri
ment to the durability of the wash. This
covering is very often applied and with
good effect to nnderpinuing.stone fences,
roofs and the walls of barns and other
outbuildings. Trobably the pure white
wash is more healthy than the colored,
as its alkalescent properties are superi
or, and when used in cellars, kitchens
and sleeping apartments, produces salu
tary results.
No person who regards the health of
his family should neglect to apply a coat
of it every spring. Country places, es
pecially farm outhouses, fences, etc.,
are greatly improved in appearance by
an annual coat of good whitewash, and
will add to their permanency much more
than many would imagine. It is cheap
and easily applied, so that neither ex
pense nor lubor can be pleaded against
it. Oermantown Teleyraph.
linnlrn Culture of ranberrles.
Prepare the ground by deep plowing
or spading, and enrich it well in the
usual way, or with a compost of two
parts swamp muck, and ono part wood
ashes. Boue Just is an excellent appli
cation, say one pound to the square
yard. In April, May or June, or in Oc
tober or November, set the plants four
inches apart, in rows six iuche3 assun
der, in beds four feet wide. Two square
rods will yield four or five bushels, and
require 2,000 plants. Tho vinos will
soon cover tha ground and require no
renewal, ns tho plant is a perrennial
shrub. The crunberry is one of the
best plants for garden edgings, or for
bivad bolts or borders for the principal
walks. It is easily trimmed and kept in
order, and is always attractive iu bloom
or in f rnit, and being au evergreen in
winter. For edgings plant six inches
apart in double rows four inches assun
dtr. For belts and borders, which may
be one-half to two feet wide, plant as
above directed for beds. As soou as it
is known how easily every family may
grow its own cranberries the cultivation
of this wholesome fruit will bo intro
duced iu every garden. It is iu eating
from September to Juno.

A "Shitckinir" Lath,
Canadian papers contain account- of a
singular phenomenon corrected with the
rec vc-ry of a young lady named Caroline
Clare, in that cmntry, from attacks cf
physical prostr.ilii-n, accompanied by
trance states iu which she unconsciously
described glorious visions iu glowing
language. Ou regaining her health it
was fonud she was highly mngueti.ed,
and a person, unless possessed of the
very strongest nerves, cannot t-hnko
hands with her, nor can any ono place
his hand in a j nil of water with hers.
By joining hands f.he can send a shnrp
6hoek through tifteeu or twenty pcoplo
in a root", nnd sho posss- s nil tho at
tractions of a magnet. If she attempts
to pick np a knife the blade will jump
into her hand, nud a paper of ueedlos
will hang suspended from one of her
fingers. S strongly developed is this
electrical piwer that she canuot release
from her touch any article of steel which
sho may h.vo taken up. Tho only
method yet found is for a second party
to tako hold of tho article nnd pull
while tho girl strokes her own nrra vig
orously from the wrist upward.
On her entering a room a perceptible
influence seizes hold of nil othors, and
whilo some are affected to sleepiness,
others are ill and fidgety till they leave,
and even for a considerable time after
ward. A sleeping babe will wake up
with a start at her approach, but with a
stroke of her hand sho can at once coax
it to slumber again. Animals also are
subject to her influence, and a pet dog
of the household will bo for hours at hor
feet as motionless as in dor.th.
A curious part of the phenomena is
the fact that the electricity can be im
parted by her to any article with which
she habitually comes in contact. The
other day a younger sister, whilo doing
the house work, took up a pair of corsets
belonging to Caroline, and on her hand
touching the steel she was compelled to
drop them, with a loud cry and an ex
clamation to the effect that she had run
a needle into her finger. Wooden spoons
have had to be mode for her, as she can
not touoh metal.
Altogether the case is a most remark
able one and attracts scores of visitors
to the house of Mr. Clare. Medical men
are especially interesting themselves.

A New York J ft raid man made an as
cent with Prof, (irimley iu his air-ship
Canada at Montreal, aud describes the
sensations of rising nud floating over
the city, driven by a fierce wind. After
careering alone; uutil after nightfall,
they disaovered tho balloon was de
scending, and to prevent falling into
the forest Mr. Grimley seized ono of
the sund bags and hurlod it out of tho
ear. We shot upward for a few mo
ments, says tho account, nnd then tho
car sank again. Another bag of ballast
was thrown out, but the cold air fanned
our cheeks, telling of our approach to
tho earth. Only one bag was left.
'I daro not throw it over,' said (irim
ley. 'I will keep it for tho last moment.
Pall in tho drag-rope or it will eitch in
the trees.'
We could feel the rush of air as the
Canada plowed through the ourrouts on
he downward course, and both sprang
forward to draw iu ti e heavy rope dang
ling beneath. It required our united
strength to pull it up even slowly, nnd
ns wo made one tremendous effort the
door of tho car flow opeu and I came
within an neo of beiug thrown out. I
caught hold of an iron bar, however,
and hung on for dear life. As tho car
began t tremblo aud shako with tho
frightful velocity of its descent, by n
great effort I regained my position, aud
wo soou sneeeeiiea in placing tho drag
liuo safely in tho cage.
'How cau we save ourselves?' I asked.
Keep cool nnd get ready for work,'
was tho qniet rejoinder.
I turned aud looked at the man. lie
had tho throttle-valve rope between his
teeth nud in his hands was tho collapse
lino, by which tho balloon could be rip
ped from top to bottom instantly. Wo
wore almost over the edge of tho forest,
nnd thero was a small clearing and an
other forest beyond. There was no time
for notes, as we were within a few yards
of the earth.
'Ontwiih nil tho ballast I' tho littlo
Euglishnuui cried, nud I seized the re
maining bag of ballast and throw it over
the car rail. It was too lato. With a
frightful crash wo ftruek tho high pop
lar trees nud cut the tops off ns clear as
though with a knife. Then we tore nta
race-horso speed through tho forest,
tearing nway tho branches of oak aud I
maple trees, aud throwing us both from
one side of the car to the other. Every
time the cage stuuk it would steady for
a moment aud then bound along until
another bough impeded its progress,
when wo would receive a shock that
stunned us for the instant. I
Suddenly wo lifted clear of tho trees
and began to tear over the fields. Tho
professor gave a mighty pull on the col
lapse valve to let us down at onco before
we got in the other forest, but under the
great strain the lino broke, nud to my
horror wo headed due cast for tho binis-ter-looking
forest.
'tret hold of the vnlve rope and help
me,' said Grimley, as ho clambered up
in the netting nnd caught the lines.
With might and main we drew tho valvo
open, inch by inch, and the Canada be
gan to sink. While wo dangled on tho
rope's end among tho rigging I saw we
must strike the grouud.
'Drop the lino aud cut tho netting of
the ear,' commanded Grimley, ns ho al
lowed the valve rope to cut his wrist
with the great pre.-sure from above. I
did ns directed, and as we were dragged
over fences, ditches aud furrows, I
grasped stones nud earth to servo as
ballast. Over the clearing wo went,
smashing against stumps nud rocks, un
til it seemed as though even tho iron
enr must give way.
Finally tho gas began to pour from
the valvo iu a heavy volume aud tho im
mense emvas runaway Etnpped. And it
wns lucky for ns that it did, as ten feet
from us was a seven-foot feucr, f'i have
struck wlii"h mer.nt death fi r both of us;
aud had wo t ridged thai danger we could
not have escaped tho forest, onlytwmry
yards distant. Grimley told me to re
main iu tho car while he elnmben d up
in tho network with a largo knife iu his
teeth; a huge slit was made in tho can
vas, which easel the balloon of its great
power. A high wiud began to blow aud
the ear was upset, tho profes or aud
myself beiug spilled uiit iu an uncore -mouiouR
manner.

A Long Career of Defalcation.
The report of the committee investi
gating the defalcation of Luther II,
Conklin, treasurer of Oswego county,
New York, presents a sad and startling
aspect. He was elected to the oflhe iu
1858, and after nearly twer,ty-one years
of service he, in December last, had
mndo his annual report And final settle
ment with the supervisor, and the stand
ing coinmitteo was about to report his
nceouuts correct, when the clerk acci
dentally difcovered a discrepancy of
about W0, 000. lie profossod to bo ablo
to explain it by reference to his books at
Mexico, where he residod. Ho returned
homo, but nothing was heard from him,
except that he was ill, nnd this wns fol
lowed by his death from nnoplexv.
cmsod by heart disease. In his nntivo
town he was highly estecmel und trust
ed, IIo wns prominent iu politics; tho
founder, patron and promoter of
church, and a high cllijerin the Masonic
order. Ho was also tlio trusted adviser
of meu all over tho couutry, and his
f unernl was n Masonic pageant. Tho iu
vestigation shows a series of defalca
tions, increasing iu nmonut with every
term of c-lli '0, amounting iu the nggro
gato to $111,807.(17. To ndd to tho
heiuousness of this turpitude, it wns
discovered thnt tho treasurer's bond of
1 DO.OOO for his term from 1871) to
1S70, had been i-tolen from the etmuty
clerk s oftl.ie, and no record could nuy
whero bo fonud to show who were his
sureties for that term, Tho sureties on
his bonds for other years proposed tho
payment of nbout $J",C00 ns a com
promise, but tho supervisors would not
ngreo to anything less thnu $40,000,
Tho sureties aro to bo prosecuted ou the
bonds, and tho reasons they assign for
resisting payment nro that judgment for
this amount is not collec'ablo, nnd that
they nro iuuoeent parties, nud onght
not to bo bnnkrnptcd on necouut of tho
nets of their principal. Considerable
sympathy is felt for these men, aud for
tlio reason that iu each and every ono of
tho tweuty-ouo years of Mr.t'ouklin's aor
vic3 a committee of the board of super
visors sported his accounts correct aud
gnvo him 'a cleau bill of character,'
whereas it nppears, in fact, that for
every ouo of these years ho was a de
fnulter.
Another Yellow Fever Theory.
Dr. Sehmidt.of tho New Orlenus char
ity hospital, has had numerous oppor
tunities for investigating the nnture of
the yellow fever poison. IIo takes a do-
cided stand against tho genu theory,
claiming it to bo a disease depending,
like smallpox, scarlet fever and mensles,
upon a specific poison of auimal origin,
a product of tho diseased humau organ
ism itself. Tho fact that in tho enso of
putrefaction the poison increases in in
tensity with each iudividuil through
whom it parses explains tho fatality of
the disease, which increases ns tho epi
domic ndvanees. The prevention of the
diseaso involves tho interesting question
of quarantine, aud tho perfect isolation
of tho first cases would appear to bo tho
mof-t important sanitary measure.
Judge Brown, of the common pleas
court of Baltimore, decides that drunk
enness is not nn offense against tho laws
of that city and State, and that it must
bo coupled with disorderly conduct or
infringement of some of tho statutes
before tho police ciu take cognizance.
