The Postal Card.
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.

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.

A Discouraged Lover.
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.
