The age of horned cattle may generally be known by rings on the horns till their tenth year; after that time they give no indication of age further than that the animal has passed its tenth year. The first ring appears on the horn after the animal is 2 years oldâ€"soon after. as a gen- eral rule. though sometimesbefore that age. During the third year the ring grsdu ly increases, and at 3 years of age it is com- sletely formed. The second ring appears uring the fourth year, and at the fifth year it is completed. After that period an additional ring is formed each year. This rule is suflieiently plain and even a young farmer needs but ittle practice to enable him to read a cow‘s age on her horns. A. cow with three rings is 6 years old ; with four rings she is 7 years old. No new rings are formed after the tenth year ; the deeper rings, however, and the worn appear- ance of the horns are pretty sure indica- tions of old age. Bed VI. Butter.

Roots are of two kindsâ€" e young and tender rootlets. composed entirely of cells. the feeders of the tree. always found near the surface getting air and moisture; and roots of over one year old. which serve only assupporters of the tree and as conductors of its food. Hence the injury that ensues when the delicate rootlets are so deeply buried in earth. Placing fresh or green manure in contact with the young roots is. he tells us, another great error. The place to put manure is on the surface. where the ele- ments disinte ate, dissolve and carry it downward. umerous forms of fungi are generated and reproduced by the applica. tion of such manures directl to the roots. and they immediately attao the tree. It is very well In enrich the soil at transplant- ing. but the manure. if to be in contact with or war near the roots, should be thoroughly ecomposed. Flr- Butler Willie-Is lee.

Stanwood mysteriously disa peared while spending avaoation from his uties as the Prmoipal of the Water- bury High School. It was not until a month ago that he was heard from. He was at Brunswick. Ga. Mrs. Stande hastened south, and has been with her husband ever since. Mrs. Stanwood found her husband so changed in appearance that she hardly knew him. His memory is gone. and, having apparently for- gotten his learning. he is at work in a lumber yard. From all that can be gathered from his disjointed reool- lections, on the day when he disap- peared from Maine he was out sailing and, going further than he intended. attempted to catch attain. While hurry; ing with all his might ayaoht came round from among the island and seemed bent on running him down. He raised his car to ward them off. when one of the villains struck him on his head. completely para- l_yzing him and rendering him senseless. Proving a negative and performing a miracle are considered by most persons as being in much the same category ;but the English Lords Justices of Appeal have lately ruled that one class of persons at all events shall be compelled to go through the ordeal of roving a negative. Abaukrupt. ten days ter commiting an act of bank- ruptcy. executed abill of sale. The trustee in bankruptcy asserted. but did not prove, that the holder of the bill of sale had notice at the act of bankruptcy. The question before the Lords Justices was whether the trustee _ was bound to prove that the holder of the blllhad had notice, or whether the latter was to prove that he had not, and they ruled that the appelant (the holder of t e bill) was bound to prove that he had not had notice of the not act of bank- ruptcy. This novel ad ition to the terrors of the law may reasonably give rise to the question: within what limits may judges exercise a discretion in applying the prin- ciples of law and evidence in such cases as these and by what means may suitors learn the princi les upon which such cases are to the decide ? Once impose the necessity of proving a negative, either in civil or crimi- nal cases. and it is impossible to say where it will end. Brsin fever must have supervened.

Memory Knocked 0-: by a Blow. Proving uNcguuvc. Iii-too we saw the quarters of the single men.‘ desori tions of slave ships flashed across me. slow this place our guide showed us a deep hole, saying, " I could not take you down there, it is much worse than what yousee;” but my business was with the women’s quarters, and we went there. Between two decks, betteri lighted than the women’s quarters, was a arge space open from one side of the ship to the other. From either side of a long central walk to the outer walks of the ship Were slung three enormous hammocks. one suspended about three feet from the floor. What was ‘ going on in the two other hammocks above ‘ I could not see, but I presume they were the same as those below. I suppose each of these hammocks would carry about‘ 100 persons. They were made of ear! cloth, and being suspended all around from hooks were perfectly flat. Narrow strips of sail cloth divnded this great bed‘ into berths. These stripe of cloth, when the mattresses were out, formed divisions about eight inches high, when the mat-, trasses are in it must be almost in a level. , New on these beds lie hundreds of men and women. Any man who comes with a‘ woman who is, or calls herself his wife, sleegas a matter of right in the midst of hun eds of young women who live in his presence day and night. If they remove their clothes, they must do so under his eyes. If they lie down to rest, it must be beside him. Itis a shame even to speak of these things, but to destroy such an evil it is necessary to look at these abodes of misery. In daylight, and when open for inspection, they are empty, swept and garnished; but think of the scene in the arkness of the night, the ship pitching in mid ocean, where a glimmering lamp or two makes visible to you this mass of moaning humanity. Look at that young mother with two or three helpless babes in the agonies of sea sickness, unable to 1 move but over the prostrate bodies of her mellow sufl'erers. Look at this innocent girl-child lying among dissolnte men and abandoned women half stifled with suffoca- tion and sickness, amid curses and groans of hundreds. If she arises and flees to save her 'soul whither shall she go '2 Again she must tread on the writhing bodies of men and women. But the oture is too horrible to he looked at, t e sound too dreadful to listen to. This is no brutal or impure dream, it is the truth. It is a livmg horror, menacing the lites, honor and souls of hundreds and thousands of our fellow country-women, the ship in which I saw these things being supposed to carry in this manner one thousand passen- gers. She carried last year, on an average. one thousand seven hundred and seventy- five emigrants. I was grieved to see the American flag floating over a whited sepulchre like that beautiful boat, haunted by the memories of sin. full of wickedness and all manner of uncleanliness.

Dr. Radclier was called in as consulting ph sician. and he was getting what he himse fstyled “ heroic treatment." All this time his mind was in full actiwty, and in the intervals of rest from his oppressive breathing and extreme fnervous depression he was bright and ‘chesrful. There was the glow of symgathy, the flickering fire of humor, and he s owed the kindliest interest in all around. He manifested the most delicate con- sideration for the comfort and feelings of others. Yet, withal, there was a deep undercurrent of spiritual feeling that turned continually heavenward and Christâ€" ward. The shadow of eternity was upon his spirit, and he longed to rise above all doubts, and questionings, and mistiness. into the unclouded light of God's counte- nance. I said to him one evening, “ Why do on talk so despondingly about the uture, you are not afraid todie?" “ No.” he answered, “ but I have a love of life." “ But you have had the highest human satisfactionâ€" you have had the deepest sorrows, why should you wish to live?" After a moment’s pause, the char- acteristic reply was, “ It is the rapture of livingâ€"I do not like to think that my work is ended.” Noble man! He had conso- crated all the energies of his great mind and heart to the service of the Church, and to the glory of that Lord and Master who hsdjoxned togetherso man gifts in one life and lent that life tot e world. On Sunday special prayer was ofl'ered for him in the Brixton Chapel, where he was wont to worshi , and in the Metropolitan Tabernacle, w ere Mr. Spurgeon grayed for him ashis beloved brother, an said, “ Lord, he whom thou levest is sick. Make hastetohelp him." And when I bro ht him the message of love and sympa y from Mr. Spurgeon, who bade him be of good cheer, and sent him word that hiscwn seasons of sickness were times of deepest despondency, he seemed to be cheered and strengthened. He could not be brought to say that he was better. But while alert as to his physical condi- tion his spirit was ever tender, and he was always ready for prayer and the Word. He would sa , “ It is suchaeom- fort.” Hedisolaim all goodness in him- self. He would say. “ I feel utterly un- worthy, but my trust is in Christ." The blood of Jesus was aoonstantly recurring theme. A favorite niece said to him, “ Uncle, perhaps after this illness your health Will be better than ever." He answered, “ Yes, I have heard of room being better than ever after see one illo ness."
