Not unknown in tietion, she is painfully familiar in hurt. The mother of Dolly vardert, as drawn by Dickens, is her ple- bcinn and faithful prototype. She does not actually raise a series of shrill screams for Mims, nor refuse to accompany her husband in excursions to Eppiug Forest. She eschews violent or demonstrstivc mums-es of any kind. Her influence is that of a blanket perenninly wet, and gift- ed for the misery of mtitering husbands with the power of speech. Not indeed that she is talkative. She is, for the most part, systematically and provokingly sil. ent. She suffers from chronic loss of apo- tlte and habitual depression of spilits. She will neither est nor drink: she com- plains quietly, sitar her manner, that she is neglected if she stays " home, and yet no mount of marital sussion will induce hertogoout. She exercises aimless ve- toes upon domestic mangements, end, so to speak, insists upon "dividing" whenew I" say new social proposal is made. She is; apathy. inactivity. obstruction incarnate; the embodiment of is kind of sentimental dttinvthe-tmutgetitrrn, which does nothing “all. nor will permit others to do "t thing.

I was most fortunate in the wreath. A sihrut, vary tslittht mist huag nhove the water, which, while it dimmed the lamps in the extreme background, yet ruagtsiiUd them and deepened their colour. In the foreground were the boots, namely moving on the river, which lay " mooth as e mill-pond-for there we: now larce- ly A breath of wind tstirring-all gaily lighted, and some, the Bower-boats (float. ing theatres and houses of entertainment or cafes) brilliantly illuminated with rows of coloured lamps and bright" devices of every caneeivnble pattern. Behind lay the great city, with its countless houses, elosusly packed, the lights on their roofs gently swaying too and fro on the vibrat- ing canes and showing like a fiery cloud bulging in mid air : all tho ugly forms and dull grey masses vanished-shrouded in the luminous veil. And so away to the furthest limits of the walls, where the glitter changed to a dull red glow, like that ot a dying tire. Then, from every tiower boat on the stream, rose incessant rockets, and each fiery meteor, as it rush. ed into the deep, deep blue of the Oriental Iky, seemed to drive down into the river a 'rorrespooding tlash ; each, u it burst into 1 rain of spin-ks above, reflected below, keeping the water always glittering with many-coloured specksof thutte. And from every boat, from every house, burst innu- merable crackers, sounding like an inces- sent fusillade, and making the air heavy with the perfume from the shavings of air with a not mttrlsatrirtgmmusie--the music of holiday joy. And best of all, to my mind, fur above and all in contrast to the glitter and the gl-tht) smoke and mist, and fury glow-the rattle, and the laughter, and the Bongt-iteres rode the full, round moon-Palo, pure, bright, as Ibo only is in the glorious lustrous purple of n tmpical sky. and beyond the city on the In: horizon, the eternal hills, lying quiet and calm and beautiful, deeping m her light.

It is a settled question that more and better flour can be made from this wheat. Of course, to cut in this green or soft state, more time is required to: cur- ing before hauling. Many object to this on account of rains, and anxious to burn th , grain immeliately after cutting. We know it is not pleasant to have rain day s.tcr Jay on wheat if md properly set up in shock. My custom is to out when in the doughy state, make good sized bundles, set them up well-six bands upright and two to cap with, making eight altogether; lat them stand till the wheat is hard enough to grind. The wheat will not be injured by moderate nuns. and the heads not being much exposed to the sun will not be injar. ed by drying too quickly. I am .in no hurry to haul the wheat if other wark is pressing. I have found all through M year's experience that it is best to cut early and give sutheicmt ficlil room. Most of the musty wheat is caused by being put together too soon after cutting. even if the wheat and straw seem quite dry. Too many of our farmers raise green weeds with their crops, and these, getting mixed up with the wheat, muse it to heat and mould in the mow or staek.-0hio Farmer. grinding, lulu-nah and oh tlm, um- ple for sale, this is a. mistake.
