One may for experiment take oa most me leaves or a plant, and he will find the flavor in sipid, and every way poor. Of course It is tne peculiar acidity or we tomato UWb Ki . tS X I IMS AXAUUU IUI uo ,j but the acid from the tomato, that has ripened on an insufficient amount of foliage, Is disagreeable fo most tastes. The same principle has been found to' work In managing grapevines. The, man who Judiciously pinches back the branches does well : but he who strips offthe foliage to "let in the sun and air," generally finds that he has made a bad mess of it. Mary's Lamb. The Christian at 1York in reply fo a correspondent, gives the following, which will prove interesting.especially to the children : You have heartif of course,' rf that most famous of all lambs, known by the name of "Mary's little lamb," but perhaps you lonrt know that there reallv was such a lamb, or that there ever was such a girl as Mary who owned the pet. Such, however, is the case, and afary is still living, and has some of the very yarn made from the "fleece as white as snow." The school house mentioned in the poem was at Stirling, Mass., and the teacher's name was Pollv Kimball. The lamb was born in 1815, and the "following to school" was in the nanio year. The lamb grew up ami had three lambs of her own, and was killed by a cow soon after. The wool was made into yarn by Marv's mother, - and knit into stockings for Mary. She kept them until the year 1878, then raveled them out, selling the yarn In' small lots to aid in the preservation of the "Old South Church" in IJoston. Mary's maiden name was "Sawyer." At tho time of the selling of the yarn she was Mrs. Columbus Tyler, of Somerville, Mass. The poem about this wonderful lamb, written bv John Rollstone, of Boston, is familiar to all grandma's children, aud ehe thinks they will be glad to have learned the true history of it. sweet Potatoes. An old potato raiser, who has never yet falleti to make a good crop, as sures us that the ridge should never be disturbed after the plants are in posi tion. The common plan of barring off the potatoes and then throwing the dirt back into a ridge he considers ru inous. If the ridges wash dowrr, the dirt may be thrown back upon them through the agency of a plough, other wise, but there must be no tearing up of the original ridge. Clinrles Lamb to Yotfns Men.

Some men move through life, as a band of music moves down street, flinging out pleasure on every side through the air to every one, far and near, that can listen. Some men fill the air with their presence and sweet ness, as orchards in October days fill the air with perfume of ripe fruit. Some women cling to their own houses like the honeysuckle over the door, yet, like it, sweeten all the region with the subtle fragrance of their goodness. There are trees of righteousness, which are ever dropping precious fruit around them. There are lives that shine like star-beams, or charm the heart like songs sung upon a holy day. How great a bounty and a blessing it is to hold the royal gifts of the soul so that they shall be music to some and fragrance to others, and life to all ! It would be no unworthy thing to Jye for, to make the power which we hiave within us the breath of other men's joy; to scatter sunshine where only clouds and shadows reign; to fill tbe atmosphere where earth's weary toiler must stand with a. brightness which they cannot create for themselves, and which they long enjoy, and appreci ate. Christian at Work. Will Corn Deteriorate? Many farmers think because their crops of corn decrease from year to year that it is due to the seed "running out." The deterioration is the result of exhaustion of the land, or it may be to some extent due to a want of care in the selection of the best type for seed. There is perhaps no field of corn but will contain more or less mixed ears. Some will be of a type which yields more abundantly than the other. If this is carefully selected, year by year, the corn will become more valuable for eed the longer it is cultivated. The Ticiienor corn, which has been selected in this way and grown on the same i.rm for half a cen tury, took the prem,:,::i two years in succession at the F. ite fair. . It has been selected with :i view to a fixed type, and that the best. Four thousand emigrants, mostly Scandinavians, and Danes, arrived at New York on the 1'Jth uk., hound for Minnesota.
