No one denies that the postal card is a great thing, and yet it makes most people mad to get one. This is because we naturally feel sensitive about having our correspondence open to the eyes of the postal clerks. Yet they po not read them. Postal employers hale a postal card as cor dially as any one else. If they were banished, and hid nothing to read but a package of postal cards or a foreign book of statistics, they would read the stalls ics. This wild hnnger for postal cards on the part of the postmasters is all a myth. When Ihe writer doesn't cave who sees his message, that knocks the curiosity out of those who handle these mes sages. A man who would read a posial card without being compelled to by some stringent must be a little deranged. .When you receive one you say, "Here is a niDssage of so lit tle importance that the writer didn't caie who saw it. I don't care much for it myself." Then you look it over and lay it away and forget of it. Do you think that the postmaster is going to wear out his young life IB devouring literature that the sender don't feel proud of when he receives it? Nay, nay. During our official experience we have been placed where we could have read postal cards time and again, and no one but the All-seeing eye would have detected it, but have controlled ourselfaud clos-ed Dureye to the written message, refusing to take advantage of t he confidence re !.o;cd in us by cur government and tynVe who thus trusted us with their secret. All over our great land every moment of the day or night these little cards are being silently scatter ed, breathing loving words inscribed with a hard lead pencil and shedding information upon sundered hearts, and they are as safe as though they had nrver been breathed. They are safer in most instances because they c.anuot be read by anybody in the whole world. That is why it irritates us to have some one open up a conversa tion by saying, "You remember what that fellow wrote me from Cheyenne on that postal card on the 20th, and how he rounded up for not sending him those goods?" Now we can't keep all those things in our heads. It requires to much of a strain to do it on the salary we receive. A man with a very large salary and a tena cious memorymight keep' run of the postal correspondence in a small office but we cajjnot do it. We are not ac customed to it, and it, irritates and excites us. Jioomcrang. Fanning. Richmond, Va.. Southern Planter. England has now been in cultiva tion for more than 1,000 years, yet by intellectual farming and a liberal nse of fertilizers, the soil is still made to produce more per acre than many farms in this country, which less than a hundred years ago were covered with a very good forest. A great many farmers will argue that they have no money with which to pur chase fertilizers, and that their barn yard does not begin to supply the quantity. To them we can say, "Do like your cousins across the water: have a flock of sheep am) U-t them manure the land. To accomplish this end more wicker hurdles must be provided, so that lots large enough to contain the sheep can be inclosed and the sheep kept at hand. Sow turnip or some other seed which wid grow on eompa itively poor land, that the sheep may have some past urage. When this is done and the crops beuin to grow, divide off a por tion with the hurdles, place the sheep inside, and while eating of the crop their droppings will be deposited on the land. Continue moving the 1st from one place to another until the entire field has been gone over. If the land is very poor this mode of treating it should be kept up at least two years; then in the spring plant wheat or oats, to be followed as soon as harvested by another turnip sow ing, which is to be fed to the sheep in the same manner as described above, and thus raise two crops, one for the master, and the other for the sheep. The animals will improve in wool-grovvinor qualities, increase in numbers, add to the supply of ma nure, and all the while enriching the owner, mere is no better manure than sheep droppings, and by follow ing the above mods of sowing and applying it, marked benefits will re sult in n short time. The inevitable law of nature to return something for what is taken away must be adhered to. Nearly opp. -13 V ncs 'JT se, 0, H lf):14yl E. R.

She may be giddy, but she's about i-ized you up in shape, and no doubt if you keep rn trying to love her without her knowledge or consent she will hit you with something and out a Swiss sunset over your eye. Do not yearn to win her affections all at once. Give her twenty or thirty years in which to see your merits. You will have more to en title you to her respisct by that time, no doubt. During that time you may rise to be president and win a deathless name. The main thing you have to look out for now is to restrain yourself from marrying people who do not want to marry you. 1 fiat style oi- freshness will, in thirty or forty years, wear away. If it does not probably the vigorous big brother of some "'young lady of 17" will con sign you to the silent tomb. Do not try to promenade with a young lady unless -she gives her consent. Do not marry one against her wishes. Give the girl a chance. She will appreciate it; and, even though she may not marry you, she will permit you to sit on the fence and watch her when she goes to marry some one else. Do not be despondent He courageous, and some day per haps you will get mere. At pres ent the horizon is a little bit foggy. As you say, she may be so giddy that she doesn't want steady com pany. There is a glimmer of hope in that. She may be waiting till she gets over the agony and annoyance of teething before she looks seriously into the matter ot matiimony. Il that should turn out to be the case we are not surprised. Give her a chance to grow up, and in the mean time go and learn the organ-grinders profession, and fix yourself so that you can provide for a family. Some times a girl only 17 years old is able to discern that a young intellectual giant like you is not going to m.aae a dazzling success of life as a hus band! Brace up and try to forget vour sorrow, and you may be happy yet. Spoopendyke as a Farmer. "This," said Mr. Spoopendyke ,as he gazed around on his new acquisition of six acers ' 'This, my dear, is what I have always wan ted. A farm and a farmer's life are the highways to happiness, Mrs. Spoopendyke, don't you think so " "It's perfectly lovely," rejoined Mrs. Spoopendyke. "I wa3 born on a farm, and was always healthy, though I had to go a good ways for water." "I'll fix that, my dear," returned Mr. Spoopendyke. "I'll brins the water. Now, where are my agricultural reports? I must plant rio'ut olf if we are going to have crops, and when they're ripe, we'll take them to market." "I see the report says yoa must give your hen chopped turnip once in a while," said Mrs. Spoopendyke, putting her thumb on the paragraph. "Either that or cabbages, " returned her husband. "I don't know whether we'll have cabbage3 euough, " ha continued, musingly- ' 'You might have less buckwheat," sug gested Mrs. Spoopendyke. "I should think, though, that two acres would be enough for one hen, and if it isn't, you can buy a load now and then from the neighbors. "I'll think that over," replied Mr. Spoo pendyke. "Here's cue. thing certain I don't understand. It says we should test a few see Is before planting to make'sure they will germinate, but it don't say how to do it. " "Maybe it means to boil them," sugges ted Mrs. Spoopendyke; "or perhaps you " "Oh, perhaps you think it means to crack 'em with an axe to see if they ave hard ! 1 s'pose you've got an idea you stick straws into 'em to see if they're done ! Well, you don't; you put acid on 'em. I'll get some acid and drop 'em in, and if it discolors 'em they're no good, and if it don't they're all right, I think we ought to have some weevil for the pig." "I don't know where you're going to plant it," said Mrs. Spoopendyke, "unless it will grow with buckwheat or onions. You can't put it in with the cabbages, be cause the pig and hen would fight" "Don't you know what weevil is?" de manded Mr. Spoopendyke, glaring at his wife. "Got a notion its some kind of a weed for a pig to smoke, haven't you ? Imagine it's gilt-edged note paper with a monogram for him to write on, don't yov. ? Well, it isn't a swallow-tailed coat or a plug hat for him to go to church in neither ! You don't plant weevil, Mrs. Spoopendyke, any more than you do soap, or clothes-pins, or stair-rods. You buy it in barrels, and I'll order some." "I think we ought to have some lace cur tains for the front windows," suggested Mrs. Spoopendyke, anxious to change the conversation. "Yes, and we want a folding bedsteid for the cow, and we've got to have a new arm chair for the pig, and I'm afraid those cab bages won't do without a wet-nurse '." squealed Mr. Spoopendyke. 'T suppose I've got to hire a man to see that the meadow don't go fishing on Sundays and up set your religious notions. O ! you're a farmer's wife you are ! If I had time to write an index to you and get some dod gasted binder to tit you up and with a fly leaf, you'd make a whole agricultural re port !' Anil Mr. Spoopendyke shot into the house and to bed, while his wife, having put up all the oil lamps into buckets of water so they couldn't explode during the night, fell asleep dreaming that the cabbage patch had eloped with the onions, while the cow and the pig had died of weevil, and the windmill had abandoned agricultural pur suits and started off through Ohio preaching the Gospel. Brooklyn E'igh. W. C. T. U. COLUMN. Tempt Not tas Weak. For the Morning and Day of Reform." BY C. L. BJLLV "James Dunton, arrested for drun kenuess and disorderly conduct. Fined five dollars. In default of payment sent to jail for tli'rty days." This item in the morning paper met my eye, and I read it again, for the name seemed familiar. Could it be possible that this was my old schoolmate? And my mind turned back to the time when James stood among the brightest of his class. True, he was a little wild, and soon after leaving school he commenced drinking, and would occasionally become intoxicated. Then he joined a temperance organization, and seemed so deeply in- earnest that I had really thought him safe from all farther temptation. Such was the condition of things whim I moved to a distant city in tile far West. 1 had been absent for ten years, and was now on n visit to the old home. I had heard nothing of James Dunton during my absence, and supposed him still working in the temperance ranks. Could it b.e possible that this was the same man ? On inqniiy, I found it to be true. James Dunton had become a victim of intemperance, abstaining lor three years, lie- had not simply gone back to bis old way, but had fallen far - lower, until the chances of his ever reforming seemed almost hopeless. I called on him and learned the story of his fall : "I had tasted no kind of liquor for more than three years, and had con quered the old habit so far that it had little or no temptation for me. One evening I attended a party cel ebrating the birthday of a lady friend. Wine and other liquors were used quite freely. I had twice refused to drink, when the hostess npproacbed and offered me a glass of wine. I besged her to excuse me from accep ting it, but she answered somewhat petulantly : "I should think you might drink once with me, in honor of this Occa sion." "As I said something about the principle involved, and the possibility of a single glass leading to further indulgence, she retorted rather eneer- mgly: "O ! I beg your pardon. I had supposed that Mr. Dunton was man enough to drink a harmless glass or' wine without fear of becoming a drunkard." "This stab at my - pride, in the presence of others who had no scruples aboat taking an occasional glass, had its effect, and with some light remark in reference to the excuse I had been making, I took the wine and quiikiy drank it. This led to another, and then another, for I wished to show the lady that I had sufficient man hood to drink several glasses of wine. it I The result was, rli I was carried home beastly drink. After that night all the old cravings came back ten-fold. I tried to fight against it, but it seemed ot no use. Mv courage all forsook me, and I became reckless. In mv false attempt to sustain my manhood I had lost all. I feel now that my fate is fixed, and there is no help for it. The sooner that the end comes the better for all concerned." I tried to encourage him to hope for better things, but he would not listen. As I went away I thought of the wonderful influence of woman, and how sad that it should ever be put to such badjisc that it should be used to lead men downward, when it might do so much toward lifting them vtp The loss of manhood through life, and of a soul through eternity, ave too weighty matters to be trifled awav. New York Hash-Eaters. "Have we had any demand for hash?" said Lewis Leland, of the Sturtevent house. "Why, my friend, I am a hash-eater my- self. When a landlord eats his own hash you can rest assured that there is nothing unclean about it. Oh yes: I know there are many people who think it is too common a dish to be good. But this is a mistake." At the Windsor hotel the cashier said one of the stewards could give fuller detailes, but in hU expeience neither the glamor of a foreign language nor the art of a wilder ness of French cooks could hi le - the fact that hash is hash and a favorate American dish. The most petite daughter of fashion relishes a plate of well-prepared hash as well as a newspaper reporter. In the absence of the Hon. Charle3 Delmonico, his represen tative stated that a large number of their customers were liberal diners, but the hash eater was numerous. And why not? Good meat was good meat in any disguise, . and the mannerin which they dished up square American corned-beef hash would have tempted Horace Greeley. Mr. Adams, 'of the Metropolitan hotel, thought the demand for hash would increase as the weather grew cooler. But in all time hash was the stan dard dish. In his experience many young people, traveling for the first time, were inclined to wade through the whole me ui, and often some eccentric Jersey doctor would begin with ice cream and end up with sonp. But after all meat and potatoes, well cooked and seasoned, 'make the foundation stone of this great republic, and this is what we call hash. The other day an old farmer was passing a store in Carson when the proprietor hailed him with: "Why don't you trade with me any more ?" "Thought you'd quit." "What made you think so ?" "Didn't see your advertisement anywhere in the papers, and I s'pose you'd pulled up stakes and gone off somewhere. The folks all think so up my way." The dealer scratched his head and then looked over his books and found that his trade with the section of country where the fanner resided had fallen off about 1,000 during the year, and his rivals had got it.
