The higher aim of every intelligent farmer should be the improvement of the productions of the land until it reaches the point when maximum crops are produced at the minimum ex­ pense. The wise farmer regards the soil simply as a machine from which or by the use of which, with the use of proper materials, he may turn out crops. This machine is a matter of the first and greatest importance. Il should always be kept in good run­ ning order, and its efficiency should I m * increased by all known economical methods. The farmer who conducts his work upon this system will never sacrifice or exhaust his soil for a great crop. His aim is to have the crop taken off, leaving the land in a better condition than he found it. He aims at every working of the soil to in­ crease its depths and thus add to it more ««f the element of fertility than he removes in the crops, and to make the crops not only pay for themselves hut also for the improvement of the -oil upon which they were grown. In carryingout this aim so as io re­ alize these re-ults we are able to judge of the skill of the farmer. It ha com­ paratively easy thing for any one who has money to improve a soil so that it shall produce large crop-, but when ii is necessary that these crops should yield a profit we greatly complicate the problem. A large crop from any soil is only a question of expenditure of labor and manure, but a profitable one requires skillful expenditure as well. Yet it is possible to do thi-, and there are farmers skillful enough to produce this result, and this we claim is the true and proper aim ol every farmer. The most judiciou- i improvements, those which finally pay the largest profits, require several years to tiring iu their full returns. It is a matter of great importance that the farmer should not only be settled but that be should feel settled, and that his plan of operations should be planned as if he expected to spend all his life on it. It is just here that our to«» common system of renting from year to year, or the still more ruinous plan of “farming on the shares,” ex­ hibits its evil effects. The owner re­ linquishes the care and management of ttie farm to men whose only inter­ est consists in obtaining all they can this year, for they may have no chance next; they, from the very na­ lure of their contract, have not tile least interest in the permanent or even transient improvement of the soil.

A fashionable hat is a half “stove­ pipe” in black or brown straw. The trimming consists of a band of silk and a cock’s feather stuck in at the side. Another novelty is black lace bon­ nets with long, wide lace strings that form a mantilla or fichu, which crosses ‘on the bosom, and is fastened on one side with a rosette. For black bonnets jet is sent out in more finely cut small bands than were ever before imported. Jt is sewed on fine black Brussels ntt to form fringes of slender, quivering leaves. The Clarita basque is a new and sty­ lish model, adapted to the plain or more expensive fabrics. The style of the back imparts an appearance of in­ creased length to the figure, and it is therefore, a highly desirable design.

This unlucky wight was head over heels in love with a beautiful girl, and was about to bo mar­ ried to her. On the eve of the wed­ ding-day, he was called on to defend an awful miscreant—a man of thirty, who had ¡»oisoned his mother and fa­ ther. The case seemed a lost one, and when the prosecution had closed, the young lawyer was just about giving 1 up the struggle without an effort. Sud­ denly he perceived in the far extremi­ ty of the court-room his beloved and her parents, who had come to see what kind of stuff he was made of. The presence of the one he worships chang­ es his train of thought. He feels that he must make a show of talent, «nd, commencing his argument, rises to the highest flights of eloquence. In a word, he succeeded in showing that the criminal is a much-abused man, and obtains his acquittal. In the even ing, the lawyer, with triumphant air, calls at the house of his future father- in-law, expecting that Ids success will ensure him a warm reception. To his surprise he finds the young girl cold, and her parents much embarrassed. He asks what this sort of reception means. “My friend,” saya he, whom the young man had already begun to call father-in-law, “I must tell you— my daughter loves another.” “An­ other! Who is the man?” “The good and virtuous man whom you to-day, by your eloquence, restored to society,” replies the father. T he O ne W iio S uffers .—And while Theodore makes his $20,000 a year in the lecture field, and Beecher gets $20,000 from his church, $5,000 from the Christian Union, and $30,000 from lectures, Mrs. Tilton weeps over her struggles with boarders in a small house in Brooklyn. She is the real sufferer, and always will be. She lost her husband, and the man for whom she lost him has abandoned her, and the society Who professed to believe in Mr. Beecher’s innocence treat her as though she was guilty.

It is very durable and beautiful as long as it is quite whole; but break it and all the cement in the world will never quite repair the damage. You may slick the pieces together so that, at a distance, it looks neurly as well as ever; but it won’t hold hot water. Il is always ready to deceive you if you trust it; and it is, on the whole, a very worthless thing, fit only to be put empty on a shelf and forgot­ ten then*. The finer and more delicate it is, the more utter the ruin. A mere ac­ quaintanceship, which only needs a little ill-humor to keep it up may be coarsely puttied like that old yellow basin in the store closet; but tender­ ness, and trust, and sweet exchange ol confidence, can no more be yours when angry words have broken them, than can those delicate porcelain tea­ cups, which were splintered to pieces, be restored to their original excellence. The slightest crack will spoil th«; ring, and you had belter search for a new iriend than to mend the old one. And all this has nothing to do with forgiveness. One may forgive and tie forgiven, but tile deed has been done, and the word said; ’lie flowers and the guilding are gone. The formal “making up,” especially between two women, is of no more avail than the wonderful cements that have made a cracked ugliness of the china vase that you expected to lie your “joy forever.” Handled delicately, washed to puri­ ty in the waters of truth, uoiifided tone careless, un«yiopat hizing hands,friend­ ship may last two lives out; but it does not pay to try to mend it.

T he B ank of E ngland .—Few who read of the Bank of England have any idea of the vastness of the operations of this greatest of the financial institutions of the world. London is a sort of clear­ ing house for all civilized nations, an«i around the Bank of England the com­ mercial world may be said to revolve. The greatest amount of deposits in the whole of the New Y«>rk banks has rare­ ly if ever exceeded $200,01)0,900; tho<»e in this one London bank have reached more than half that sum, or$l50.000,- 900. The New York hanks* loans have varied sometimes $5,000,000 or $10,- 009,000 a week; in one week last M iy, «luring a panic, the loans by th«* Bank of England rose over $50,000,000, and reached $155,000,090, or more than half the highest suit ) ever reached by the fifty-nine associated bants of N« w York. The greatness of the «1« p >-i!s is remarkable, especially as th«* bank pays i’.o interest on them and is sur­ rounded by institutions that do. An­ other not less remarkable fact is that nearly forty per cent, of the-e d«‘|M)-its —at on«* time nearly $50,000,000—was placed in the bank by private hankers, despite the lack of interest. All the-e things show what is the real function «»t this vast establishment—s<»«*urity. So desirable is safety, that th«* owners <>f $150,900,000 prefer to keep it in the bank’s vaults without interest rather than trust it elsewhere. The oilier function the bank lias undertaken—to control the money market — it has failed to achieve; but the safety it gives to funjls has doubtless contributed much to lower the rate of iuterst in London. Great care anil pains are taken Io secure this safety. Every night twenty-five solJiera of the regu­ lar army are detailed toguard the bank; and for directors and managers men of the highest character are selected. The movement of its deposits is watched with eagerness, and it has even been said that whenever they fail below $^20,000,000 money is pretty sure to be scarce. P ure A ir .—Whatever renders the blood impure tends to originate con­ sumption. Whatever makes the air impure makes the blood impure. It is the air we breathe which purifies the blood. What, then, are some of the more prominent things which rend­ er the air impure? Il is the nature of still air to become impure. Running water purifies itself. Air in motion, draughts of air, are self-purifiers. Thus it is that the air of a close room becomes foul inevitably. Thus it is that close rooms bring consumption to countless thousands. Hence all rooms should be so constructed as to have a current of air passing through them. A man of ordinary size renders a hogshead of air unfit for breathing, and consumes Itsblood-puiifying quali­ ties every hour. Hence, sleeping in close rooms, even though alone, or sit­ ting for a very short time in a crowd­ ed vehicle, or among a large assembly, is perfectly corrupting to the blood. Close bed-rooms make the grave of multitudes. O ur fathers died for us. They died willingly and gladly.
