Some men move through.Iife as a band of music moves down the street, flinging out pleasure on every side through the air to every one far and near, who can listen. Some men fill the air with the per fume of ripe fruit. Some women cling to their own houses like the honey-suckle over thefdoor, yetj like it; 11 all the region -rrith tfc subtle fragrance of their goodness. How great a bounty and a bless ing is it to hold the royal gifts of the soul that fhey shall be music to some, and fragrance to others, and life to all ! ; It would be no un worthy thing to live for, to make the power which we have within us the breath of other meVs joy ; to fill the atmosphere in which they must stand with a brightness which they cannot create for them selves. Aril Accurate Boy. There was a young man once in the office of a Western railway superintendent who occupied a po sition that four hundred buys in .that citv would have wished to pet. - o It was honorable and it paid well, besides being in the line of promo tion. How did he get it? Not by having a rich father, for he was the son of a poor laborer. The secret was his beautiful accuracy. He began as an errand boy, and did his work accurately his writ ing and arithmetic- After a while 8tep his employer commended his accuracy and relied on what he did, because he was just right. It is thus with every accurate boy is the favored one. Those who employ men do not wish to be on the constant lookout as though they were rogues or fools. If a carpenter must stand at his journeyman's elbow to be sure that his work is right, or if a cashier must run over his book-keepers' column, he might as well do the WQrk himself as to emplov another -T to do 11 m that way ; and it is very certain that an employer will get rid of such an inaccurate workman as soon as he can. Singular Verification of a Dream. The Gloucester Advertiser gives a singular verification of a dream hy captairi Samuel Elwell, of the schooner Belvidere, which arrived from Georgia at that port. It says : , 0 , i ..n I On Sunrtav mnrnincr zlst Ulu L, , . SQOn fe asleep, i. . . . . , ... MW . dead body afloat on the water and I w a aw a.A tiv m w m.m m " ' attempted to secure it, but that it passed under the counter of his ves sel and escaped. His efforts and the disappointment caused him to wake and going on deck he could not throw off the sensation pro duced. Half an hour afterwards a floating box was discovered it passed under the counter of the schooner and could not be seized till the vessel put about when it was secured and found to contain the body of a little girl about four years old with golden brown hair and attired in a plaid dress, With apron, and nice gaiter boot There xrere severe injuries upon tks forehead, and holes frere bbred in tne dox lnaicaung io& ia waa muniered, and the perpetrator intosd, Uifi sea sbotild cxiwflhe crime.; As decbm position j of the body had commenced, andjthe ves sel was not to return for i several days, the box was nailed up and sunk. Making Friondei He that would have friends must show himself friendly., Scarce one of us but has a weak point that flyj? ridiculed, a fault that may T pstried an : mErraity 'that may betray us into vine or uAworthi ness. Not one; of us but Inpprfs a f,iend to supplement our defects, to reflect the luster of our virtues, to help us in being true to Jwhat is noblest in us and of absolute worth in itself. There are unhappy per sons who exist only upon tne frail tics and vices and mistakes of their fellow creatures. To them conversation is insipid unless spiced with scandal, jokes are meaning less if some ones feelings are not hurt, amoral is valueless! unless pointed by the delinquency of some hapless mortal. there are those also whose mis sion on earth is peace. Evermore they bear with them the mantle of charity, and with its ample folds cover the unfortunate, the weak, the erring. They know full well that "every human heart is uman,' that every soul needs syinpathy, forbearance, affection, that jail men are equally precious to God, since He has made of one blood all flesh. If words of commendation fail they keep silence; if censure must be justice; to the returning prodigal they give welcome, to the repen tant criminal words of cheer and hope. 1 Only shallow observers jj of hu man nature ridicule its weaknesses, and like ghouls feast on its vices He who looks deepest idto the throbbing floods of humanity that surge around us is most prbfbund Jy pitiful; he sees under all the dis guises of fortune in every woman a possible angel, and his approach- ! es are made on the angel side. 1 m, u .. , f Ihe great fault with most of us (is that we act on the defensive. Instead of making advances our selves we wait for others tp make advances to us. -Said one of the wisest of our American philosipher to a friend who was rather: fond of holding up to laughter the foibles Of his acquaintances. "William, if you make a friend every May, in three years yotf will have 4 thous and friends. If you make n enmy every day in three years you will have a thousand enemies. A man with a thousand enemies will bis likely to get tripped in s wav through life by some one ibf them and I would rather have a thous and friends than a thousand ene mies." Is not this instruction worth taking to heart? How hap py the reflection, when one draws the drapery of his couch about him each night, "to-day. I have won a friend, or I have bound in closer tis one al read v mine.' Full of divinesi philosophy as of heav ., enly charity! is that utterance of the Saviotir. Blessed are the peace makers, for they shall be called ihm children of QxxL1' The field of their operation is as bro ad as the world; there b work for them to do every: family, in every social circle, m every cnurcn, in every lieighborhood. Let trobc!med)x smg those who uAh whnf b friHpdhip but a name, A charm that luljs to sleep?' I let them apply themselves to the deUglitful task of winuing friends by encouraging the distrustful by cheering the sad, by raising the fowufallenf by sympathy with the aspiring. and pus, bind to 'their hearts the hear ps of those about them. They will find that ini lov ing the Supreme God they are in dissolubly joine with a!l the noble and the true, iaiid friendships thus based niu$t exist panillei with the ex stance of tlife soul and of its maker. N Y. Tribune. Young Men go to Work! There is no time to idle ; now. i You must carve out your own !- ; - i fortune. You have no inheritance upon which t6 depend. You: must reconstruct your own fortunes by industry, perseverence and toil. Labor is honorable, and the ig noble are those whoj will notjwork, Get you a home. Fence a field. and plow and plant It, and gather around you the comforts of a home. And when you have made a ( char acter for industry arid thrift ask some young lady . to sharef your home with you. We would jsay to every young, lady, mark I those young men who are lounging around, attempting to live by their wits, or on. the interest of their debts; and when they ask you to share the fortunes of life with them, just; let them pass oti. No young lady can consent to f marry its, unless sne inas maae up her . I'! mind to sell her self: to the lowest bidder. Young men watch for chances, one man makes chances; while ten men wait for something to turn upj one turns tip something so while ten fail, one succeeds, and is called a mart of luck, the favor ite of fortune. There is nq luck; luck and fortune most favor those who are most indifferent to for tune. Young (men go to Neiv Jersy Mechanic. A Good Daughter. There are other ministers; of love more conspicuous than she, but none in which! la gentler, lovelier spirit dwells, and none to: which the heart's; warm requitals, more joyfully respond. Sho is the steady light of her father's house. Her ideal is indissoluhly connected with that of -the fireside. She is his morning sunlight and his eve ning star. The grace, vivacity and tenderness of her sex have their place in tne mghty sway which she holds over his; spirit! Shef is the pride and ornament of his hospital ity, and the gentle nurse of his sickness. I I Kevp Flo win f Under. A Georgia! farmef, in 1865. fenced in a field of ten acres land worn outj and plowed it in June and j sowed it j tp wheat in September aud at iharvest time irnt four bushels to the acre. The - n !

He is I assured that had the grotmd been aubsoileti twenty inches deep, the last yield would have been doubled. Cooking Pood for AnlcaaU, All doubt of the economy of cooking by steaming the food fed in winter to all the doioestic ani mal, is removed by the'many care ful experiments that hav been made under a great variety of cir eumstances, by t ho r most - reliable men in the country. The improve ment and reduction of the cost of steam generators has, of late been r very great. The danger from their use has grately retarded the more general introduction of ar rangements for steaming food for stock. They are very economical and safe, operate well, and are so simple that anv farm hand can run them. A great advantage arrising from steaming all the food for stock, in which there are liable to be seeds of any discription, is that the vitality of such is destroyed, and the manure is freed from all noxious weed seeds a mat ter of much greater importance than it is considered by culturista generally. The chaff of our grain crops, which contains most of the foul seed gathered with the crops, should be steamed to destroy the vitality of the seed, ere :t goes in to the manure heap.. If not steam ed bofore it is returned to the land, it would be better to burn it, rather than take such an amount of foul seds back on the land. S toring. Winter A pplca. ed experience, is 'decidedly1 ot opinion' that apples keep far bet ter when put in close boxes or bar . rels, and secluded as much as pos sible from the air. When thus stored, he saya they will come out n the spriug full and plump as when taken from the tree. Many varieties, as the Talman Sweet, ?pitzenbunr, and those kind that are not considered as hmg keepers arid shrivel badly, will do well treated in this wav. He adds: I have found universally, that they keep better to let them lie without picking over. It is much better to pile them into a largo bin acroRs the cellar, six or seven feet wide, and cover them up tightly, than to lay them on tho shlves.- I once saw such a bm that tho man had kept through the winter. -' bout the first of Apnl, he thought he would open the windows on the side of the cellar next the window to let the in air, that they might keep better. I was at this place, and called my attention to the fact. Two windows just over the. -, bin were opened about ten days or two weeks, and the apples exactly opposite the windows, about one third rotted for as much a a foot in depth, and the remaining part on cither side were not rotted at all Another instance: A neighbor of mine had about five hundred bushels in a pile in the cellar. As they became a little specked, he ? commenced picking over, when 5 about half done, got tired and con eluded to let .-them go. When marketed about six weeks after, found that about one-third of those picked over were not fit for mar ket, while all but about one-twentieth of the others were good. ThU I have seen in numerous ins tances. If you wbh to try the ex periment, make a box as tight & a carpenter can make it, and when picking from, the orchard fill it and nail it fast. Let it he in tho orcard till it if in danger of freez ing; then fut in the cellar. Put the same quantity on the shelves for trial. I un pretty sure one ex periment will convince you,: f. I 1
