Immigration.

The Missouri Immigrant, St. Louis, containB the following wholesome advice: "Talk up your country speak ft good jighbors and your )niy w*

word about your u-

neighbors and

neighborhood—not only when you are abroad, but when you are at home. Don't go around looking as if every man was your natural enomy, and you were hopelessly tied up in a community with which you have no common interests. Don't run down the country and borate your fellow citizens to every stranger you meet, but biag them up. Tell strangers you have a fine country. Don't deceive them by telling exaggerated stories or untruths but don't take a delight in making prominent every little mismanagement of public affairs and every little circumstance of your country's history that was not just according to your ideas. Tell the strange visitor that your people aro id good and hospitable, and prove it by in4 troducing him among your friends. Let every man speak well of his neighborhood and his country, and try and induce strangers to settle there. Wlterestranger locates near yon, make him think well of you and your neighbors. If there is a bargain in a piece of vacant land or a farm near von, help to get that bargain disponed of. When it is in stronger hands, nnd out of the market, it will stiff* en prices on all the lands surrunding it. Get all your farms into the hands of men out of debt and able "to hold them, and you will see a boom in tho real estate market but as long its there is a farm for sale under the pressure of debts, the prices of other land will be influenced thereby. A vacant store in a row of business houses injures the rentnl of all tho others a demand for one more store than can be had has the contrary effect. Prices of land are affected in the same way,"

Domestic Economy.

"My dear fellow, ''said Lavender, it's all very nice to talk about economizing and keening a rigid account of expenses and all ilist sort oi? thing, but I've tried it Two weeks ago I stopped on my way home on Sunday night, and I bought iust tho gayest little Russia leather cream-laid paper account Look, yon ev^r saw, and a silver pencil to match it* I Said to my wife after supper,

My dear, ifc seems to

tue It costs us a lot of money to live.' She sighed ami said, 'I know it does, Lavvy, but I'm sure I cant help it I'm just aa economical as I can be. I don't spend half as ranch money for candy as you do Tor cigars.' never take Stereo tiiy dear* account of every thing we spent we could tell just where to cut down. I've brought you a little account book, and every Monday morning lil give y*m some money «nd you can set it down on one side and thrn* on the other side everything you speud, and then on Saturday night we can go over it and see just where the money goes and how we can boil tilings down a little,

Welt, sir! site was just delighted— thought was a first-rate plan, and the pocket account book was lovely—regular David Copperfield and Dora business. Well,sir, Uie next Saturday night we got

side was 'Received from Lawy, $50.' That's all right! Then I looked on Cie other i* co, and what do you think was there? 6pent it all!' Then I laughed, mid of course she cried, and we gave up the account book racket on the spot by mutual consent- Yes, sir, I've been there, and I know what domestic economy meanSi teU yo«- have have a

DARKNESS AND DAYLIGHT. ... rt -r "T This wond^ftU earth goes rooai and rnum) Turning over and ovesr again, Atui tbe winters go and U» aummere com With ttelr harvest* of ftult and grain. For tlie glorious sun is shilling for all. O'er the boundless realms of space, Though Into each life eome storms moat lfcli And winter weep on apaoe. To some appears the light of dawn,

A h! would It were So In affairs of lift, In this turbulent changing world. As amid its care and toil and strife, Our wheel of fortune is whilled. Some fortunate winners draw a prise,' And others only a blank Home their ludky stars may praise, While others themselves may thank. A pauper stands at a rich man's hall. Begging for alms to-dayj To-morrow the rich man may be poor. As riches wiih wings fly away.

Wealth and fame are bubbles that burst— As the world goes round and round Truth and honor have nothing to fear, For they ever are uppermost found. Like tbe glorious sun forever fixed. They sited a brilliant light It is ouly man who changes ao, Turning day Into gloomy night. To-morrow a begger may be a lord. In all that pertains to earth. If he strives to keep on the topmost side, I it regard to honor and worth.

No matter how dark the hour of night, The morning Is sure to come As the sturdy old earth goes round and ronnd, One side Is toward the.aun. What matters, then, if it's night Just now We awal| the ipormlng cl^wn, Thun never complain, keep pushing ahead. For the earth is rolling on. Then keep your eye aloft to the stsws, When the darkest night appears And watch for the rising sun of light, As It sliinefe through the endless years.

Mulching Fruit and Other Trees. Mulching is an auxiliary in the hands of an intelligent and experienced fruitgrower by which he fe enabled to protect the roots of his fruit and other trees and shrubs against heat and cold, drought and sudden changes of the weather also to check an early flow of sap in the spring, and thus save the fruit buds from late frost. To use mulching to an advantage requires careful thought and good judgment. Some object must be in view, and work must be done on philosophical'principles. There are times during the growing season in which the ground becomes dry and hot. A little of the right kind of mulching at such times, and spread on the ground Over the roots of the trees and wet onco or twice a week, will not only be the means of saving the trees, but keep them in a good, healthy, growing condition. Great care should betaken not to leach the ground about the roots by constantly dashing on water. Thousand of promising trees are killed annually by so doing, especially these that have recently been transplanted. In all cases mulch first, and then wet the mulching. Let the ground absorb moisture from the mulching. In regard to mulching fruit and other trees and shrubs for winter protection, it depends altogether upon what condition the ground is in late in the fall. If it is dry, the mulch should be applied and kept wet until tho ground becomes properly saturated with moisture. Fruit trees should mulched late in tho winter or early in the spring when the ground is well frozen about the roots, and kept, in that condition till freezing is over in the spring. Probably more trees are killed or injured at that season of tho year than any other. A few worm days early in tho spring, if trees are not mulched, will excite their roots to action, and then a sudden change of the weather and a hard freeze is almost sure to rupture the roots and tho bark of the troes near the surface of the ground. Grape roots and the roots of rose Inishes should be managed the same as the roots of fruit trees. The vines and rose bushes should be taken down late in the fall, trimmed, and covered with nothing but moist earth. If properly done at the right time there can be no question but what thev will come out jjerfeet in the spring.—farmers' Union,

Cigars.

To the world in general a cigar is a tightly rolled packet having brittle fragments of dried leaves within, and a smooth silky leaf for its outer wrapper. When it is burnt, and the pleasantly flavored smoke is Inhaled, the habitual smoker claims for it a soothing luxury that quiets the irritable nervous organism, roh'evos weariness and entices repose. Science scouting so snpfiercial a description, examines first the smoke, second the leaf, third the ash. In the smoke is discovered water in a vaporous state, soot (free carbon) carbonic add, ami carbonic oxide, and a vaporous substance condensable into oily nicotine. These are the general divisions, which chemists have still further split up and in.so doing have found acetic, formic, buteric, valeric, and propionic acids, prussic acid, creosote, and carbolic acid, ammo veriparvo-

Applying chemical tests to the leaves, other chemists have found nicotia, tobacco, camphor, or nicotianino (about which not much is known,)a bitter extractive master, gum chlorophyl, malate of lime, sundry albuminoids, qmtie add, woody fibre, and various salts. Tiie feathery white ash, which in its cohesion and whiteness is indicative of the good cigar, yields potash,soda, magnesia, lime, hospltorie acid, silica, and chlorine no ingredients ex tractable from a poor and cheap' cigar would be fearful and wonderful to contemplate.

Proof Beading.

There are few of those not practically sngaged in printing who comprehend the enormous difficulties in the way of producing a single page typographically correct. Leaving out of consideration the variations fro in- rules of capitalization and punctuation, to which there are as many exceptions as there are to any of the so-called "rules" of English orthography, the lahor of weeding out literal errors is one which taxes the patience and assiduity of the reader to the ntmpst Errors which may strike the casuul reader as so plain aud easily disceraable as to raise a conclusive presumption of carelessness, may nave passed half a dozen careful readings unnoticed.

Many suppose that these eirors might have been avoided, in the first instance, by due care on the part of the printer. This to a certain extent is true, but not to the extent supposed. It might be proper to charge him with all these errors if he had nothing else to consider in performing his work but correct composition. But there is a certain demand made upon him for quantity as Well as quality. In order to render his labor remunerative. it is necessary that he should set during the working hours a sufficient amount to entitle him to a living compensation, according to the standard by which the reading public are willing to pay. This^he cannot do if he devotes his entire time to accuracy.

When even a careless reader, who is sufficiently well informed to enable him to detect errors, devotes an hour to the conning of a single page, with a mind fresh and unclouded by other cares, he may discover errors which the. proofreader has overlooked. But the'profesgional reader brings to the daily discharge of his exacting duties a constitution similar to that of those engaged in other vocations. He, like every one else, is subject to the ills that unfit him for close application and careful discrimination, The most competent have days when tlieir. minds are distracted by anxieties tliat draw their attention from the work in hand, which they necessarily perform, iu a perfunctory manner. The very continuity of this peculiar lahor by which .their faculties become liubitlUited, and their eyes expert .to.dete^t' erroil}, has the'effect, by the intellectual dodgery, to blunMheir interest ajicji tire,then tninds,, So that the verdict''.should often be, instead of carets proof-readers ovefr. worked, proof-readers.

There Is probably not a periodical publication in this, or any other country, which is entirely tree from errors, lo illustrate tlie difficulty,'the following exam is

The superintendent of one of our leading railroads employed an expert to prepare a table of rates for freight be*^ tween the- different stations on a single! line, of road running through one state'.' Bent upon having this absolutely correct, he had it examined and re-exam-ined until no error could be discovered. Tlie calculations were all simple. After the table was prepared in manuscript, it was printed and then submitted to expert proof-readers. All the operations were gone over and proved. The cost of preparing this table was $10,000. When it was completed and pronounced perfect by several readers, it was subjected to the test of a calculating machine which could not err, and in less than half an hour an error was detected. Two or three hours' work with the machine discovered Upwards of thirty mistakes in calculation, either of which was clearly apparent to any one acquainted with tiie simple rules of arithmetic, the moment his attention was directed to the single calculation, unbiased by any preconceived notions of its correctness or incorrectness, x-
