Hard and steady work must be done to get a bountiful harvest, but we raise a word of caution about overwork. It le not necessary for farmers to work themselves to death in order that they may reap abundantly. Is it still necessary for farmers to continue ae their forefathers did and work from anti to run 1 We do not hold that a eyatem of eight hours of labor a day can be enoceeefully inaugurated on the farm, but we are sure that the days can be much shortened in many instances without detriment and even with good results. A market gardener has a very fine cow that was milked week after week by hired men. He observed that the amount of butter he carried to market weighed about a pound more each alternate week. He watohed the men and tried the cow after they had finished milking, but always found that there was no milk left in the teats. He finally asked the Sootoh girl who took care et the milk if she could account for the difference, "Why, yes," she Bald, " When Jim milks he rays to the eld cow, ' So 1 my rretty muley, so 1' But when Sam milks he hits her on the edge of the pail and nye, ' Hid you old brutal" The Kansas Farmer meats that dairy farming adds one dollar per acre to the value oft the land, while it saves ene dollar per acre (+the value of the land as against grain farthing, this is two dollars per acre —good rent, Twenty of the poorest miloh cows In the country, that two mon oan milk in one hour and a half in the morning, and the same at evening will pay the wages of the two hired hands and furnieh greceelea for a good-sized family, by Boll- ing cream at ten Dents a gauge.

A Cape Breton Parson. He was a tall, angular pareon othe old severe Presbyterian type. As the local idiom has it, "Yon would know by his Eng. fish that he had the Gaelic." He was preaching in a brother parson's pulpit to a congregation who were etrangere to him, Descanting on the lamb as a type of gentle. nese, meekness, eto., he said : "The lamb is quaite and kind. The Iamb le not like the other besets, the lion and the tiger and the wolf. Ye will not be rennin' away from the lamb. No. The lamb is kaind; the lamb will not eat ye, whatever. "And there is food in the lamb; too. Oh yes, you will be killin' the lamb and tne sheep when the cold weather will come In in the winter. You will be wantin' some goed strong food in the winter, 'and is it then you will ba killin' the lamb. "And there is clothing in the lamb—he is good for the clothing. You will tek the wool off him, and yon will mek clothing for yourselves, And how would yon and I look without clothing ?" eto. At the close of the exercfses be gave ant the following very peculiar notice, to explain whioh I must state that ravages had been made among the Presbyterian flock by the influence of a divine of a different persuasion: "And there will moat likely be a family from X. that will be baptized here after meeting on Friday night, but"—here he leaned forward, and added, in a loud stage. whisper— " ye'll no be saying a word about it, dear brethren, as I do not think they want it known." The Salt of the Earth. If the salt formations of Nevada were in railroad oemmunioation there would be ne market in We country for the foreign arti- cle. In Lincoln county, on the Rio Virgin, there is a deposit of pure rook salt whioh is exposed for a length of two miles, a width f elf a mile, and le of unknown depth. In p1 nee cannons are out through it to a depth of a y feet. it le of ancient formation, being covered in some places by basaltic rook and volcano tufa, The• deposit has traced on the endue for a diotanoe of nine miles, It le so solid that it must be blasted like rook, so pure and transparent that print can be read through blocks of it a loot thick. At Sand Springs, in Churchill county, there is a deposit of rook salt four teen feet In depth, free from any particle of foreign substance, whioh oan be quarried at the rate of five tone a day to the man. The great Humboldt salt field ie about fifteen miles long by six wide. When the summer heats have evaporated the surface water, salt to the depth of several inches may be noraped up and underneath is a stratum of pure rook salt,' of unknown depth. Soda, borate and other valuable minerale aleo exist In large quantities near these looalitios, and branoh railroads will sooner or later bring them into market. A considerable business in gathering borax is already established on the line of the Carson and Colorado railroad, If Nevada will out down her working ex - pensee and dovolope her natural reeeuroeo, rho will be above the neeeosity et seeking land grants, from her neighbors or from the General Government, A ZQLDIER OP LUUKNOW, Some Kurds Iletieta ensee et Temente/en .Ustiny, On the 6th of June, 1857, twenty.nino years ago, just ee England had emerged sue. careful from the Crimean war th. great linMan mutiny broke out. The' Britih arm In lndfa had been greatly weakened in order to tueihtein the struggle with Runlet and coneequontly at the commencement of the breakout the rebel; had thb gra all their own way. As soon, however, as the news of the revolt of the native array reaohed England, peace having been declared with Runde, regiment after regiment wee hurried from Sa auto b oto the P 1 scone of the uprising, The *tory of how the mutiny was quelled. le a matter of history, but es the rare roll by the veteran. who stormed Delhi, end A H I MARCHED ED W TH COLIN CAMPBELL to the relief of telo!tnow are booming fower and fewer, One of those who poeeeeeee the medal for the rebellion, with deep, for Delhi and Luoknow, ie Mr, William Kennedy, a care• taker at the Parliament Building in Toronto. In conversation with Mr, Kennedy recently a Globe reporter eves given some interesting information about the great mutiny. W KENNEDF, OF Q KIN OR A• "I em W. Kennedy, of Kinoora," said the veteran, " and I was born in the town of Innes, county, of Clare, Ireland. I will be 54 years of age next Deoember. Oa the 26.h of November 1848, I enlisted in the 75th Regiment, new known as the First Bat- talion Gordon Highlanders. I eervod with this corps all through the mutiny, and final- ly left the service on the 26th of October, 1860, having been allowed a year for Luck now. I event ten years altogether in India," "You must ,have seen some hot work there, Mr. Kennedy." " Indeed I did, but Deihl wan worse than Luoknow. I landed in India on the 5th of November, 1850, and ao raw the mutiny from the very commencement, The flint battle was at BUDGEiELIE SURRIE, June, 8th, 1857. When I woe in India there was not a railway or a telegraph pole in the country. "At Delhi the fighting lasted from the 4th to the 20th ef September. I wap colour sergeant under General Niaholeon there at the storming of the Moore battery. Gen- eral Nicholson was killed and when he -elves shot he put his arm around my neck. fie was a fin soldier, and the whitest man that ever stood on two feet. Jnet before the General was ebot he wee told that hie brother, Captain Nicholson, had lost an arm. ' Let him go on and fight with the other,' he cried, At THE STORMING OF DELHI we lest 1,462 man inside an hoar—killed mind you. I was field sergeant major un- li der Sir Colin Campbell at the relief of 1,nok• now. I served under Sir James Outram at the occupation of Allumbngh while Sir Colin went to relieve Cewnpore. The first li time that we went',to Cawnpore I was there, and was among the first that reached the wells where the bodies had been thrown, It was a terrible night. Do you know WHAT OUR RATIONS CONSISTED OF when we were marching to the relief of Lnoknew ? One pound of wheat a day, and, grind it yourself 7 OE course we had nothing to grind it with, and we need to bruise it between two atones as !well as we could. One time I managed to secure a nook of split peas, but I had to keep it hid in a bole in the ground, Weide my tent " "'Did you suffer much with march- ing ?" "I never had corns on my feet in my life, and the climate always agreed with mo ; but of coarse we had terribly severe work. My last campaign was in Central India, where I served under Major Brooks, and was present at the SECOND BATTLE OF AGRA, on the 81h of October, 1858. I remember marching these 36 miles with nothing to eat, then fighting, and then doing another 36 miles. We were really not fighting natives, they were trained soldiers and many of them had their, breasts covered with medals wen In the Eaglieh service. I remember one time in Central India, the 3rd Gwalier Cavalry charged the 9th Lancers three times, and three times they formed right un der our guns, but we dared not fire on them because we would hit our own men." " Did the 94h break the natives np badly ?' " The natives never were broken np badly, "Oh, they were brave fellows, and they told us that they were FIGHTING FOR THEIR COUNTRY too. Why, that time they pitched their pistols in our facies after they had fired them, and as I told you, we dared not pull a trigger," " Did you ever have cholera, Mr. Ken- nedy?' "I did, Thirteen of no went to the hos- pital with it, and I was the only one that came out." "Were there many British troops at the relief of Lnoknew ?" "There were 123,000 mon, and not more than 10,000 of these were natives. Sir Colin reviewed nee He commenced with Captain Peck's battery, and it was seven o'olook at night before he reached the Light Division, where my regiment was, At first he could not make out whether we were WHITE MEN OR. NOT, for we were as dirty as Murphy's pig.'' " You did net not get married until after you left the army, Mr. Kennedy ?" "No. I married in Qaebeo 24 years ago, and I have been in the Parliament Buildioge hero since 1862, I have a family of five uaughtors and one,son." " Dlsolpime was severe in the army in your time, was it net 7" to Indeed it was, I have seen any,num- ber of men flogged and three shot. Ono man was shot for striking the • deator, an- other for THROWING HIS HAT AT THE 00L0NEL, and another for something else, Ever einem then it had been the rule in the army that when a man is brought before the Colonel his hat le removed first." "What do you think of flogging t" "A man will never do any good after wards, although his comrades will not an. noy him about it, Lord Gough was a very nevero commander. It was under him that the men I mentioned worn shot." Mr. Kennedy is a man of medium height and very etrongly built. He has regular feature., and shaves almost allhis face no. cording to the mil' itary regulations. He has always enj )yed the beat of health, and deolares that he,has "never known a day's sickness while residing in the old Perlia• meat Bulldinge, 1n' spite of all that he hag gone through, Mr, Kennedy is ad aotive as: many much younger men, and bide fair to nee a green old age.

After a cup of coffee and a bun tall), we went to the station to °atoll the 8 30 train for Miranda, We took tick- ets for 3rd olase but bad very rospeotable people as follow•travellern, After leaving ililbao, the, railroad ran alongside of the Norden, the river which runs , threagh BR; bp.", and aoroes which merry pioturerque and aubatantlal bridges are built The iioonory wail very pretty with the vfne•fields and peature lend and the Nervlon winding be tween them and in the •dietanee the moan• tains a bright bine.

Just above ue was a rook which ferule an almost perfect representation of a monk's head and shoulders, with the hood of hie cloak pushed off hie head and resting on his bank. It is palled the Fraile, or in English the Friar. Miranda reached, we refreshed ourselves with the ever -ready and delicious coffee and then started afresh for our terminus. The country now appears to bs almost entirely cultivated for vines, and every possible and often almost inacces- sible plaoes were planted. Semetimee, part way np a stony bare kiliside one would nee a field or two of vines. Those grown here are not the climbing vines, but email creep- ers, whioh, however, bear profusely. They are planted lu rows like so many turnips, not at all my idea of vineyarde. Gradually the vineyards gave way to olive•yarde, and as we went onthe scene became very monot- onous. The soil appeared to consist mainly ef mud, and seems to indicate a comparative- ly:recent emergence from a 'subaqueous state. The oountry wan very flat, with vil- lages here and there of mud -houses, mad walls and fences, and a mud church. OLIVE -YARDS, ROWS OF POPLARS, threshing -flame, mud villages, and dry river beds became tedious with fro quent repeti• tion. At Caetejon we had to wait a while, and as soon as we started again, we settled ourselves to sleep, but were aeon roused by our fellow travellers, who had passed their pigskin of wine round eo often that they be- gan to feel merry. They had entertained us some time before, by flinging acme of their church hymns and litanies, but now they Bang national songs, accompanying them with dancing and all eorte of gesticula- tions. From that time till we reached Zar- agozs we were kept wide awake watching them. At 10.15 p. m, we arrived at Zara- ge z e and were very glad to get into an om- nibus and drive to the Europa Hotel. Next morning we first got a general view of the. city from across the wide bridge over the Ebro, the prominent objects being the two cathedrals, the leaning tower, archbishops' palace, and the tall, quaintly built houses with their red tiled roofs. Re-entering the city by the Puerta del Angel we went into the cathedral of Lo See. Inside there was indeed, a " dim religions light," partly owing to the windows being' so high, and my firstimpreseion on gazing around wag of Intense awe. Several kneeling figures oeuld be discerned at the various altars and a fu• neral service was proceeding at one of the chapels. This was well lit by candles, and a highly impressive scene it was, the voice of a priest chanting In monotone, then the re- sponses of the ether priests in a plaintive minor, then all walking round the ocffin, bearing lights and still chanting in a law minor key. After passing round the cathe- dral jest looking at the numerous small chapels or shrines as we went, we passed in front ef the high altar. The retablo of this altar is alabaster moat beautifully and ela- borately carved. The trasooro or outside of choir is richly ornamented in etucco re- lief illustrating 00enen from the lives of the saints. One story is that a young ohild martyr, an acolyte, was crucified for hie faith in Christ, during one of the early per- enoutions and that his BODY WAS THROWN INTO THE RIVER, where it floated, until some pions Christian brought it to shore and in triumphal proces- sion to thie Church when he was burled and an altar raised over him. In thin cathedral are shown the swords whioh are said to have been used in the martyrdom of San Pe iro Abnes in 1490.

Unfortunately the choir, whioh ie noly,oarved in bae•re. lief,, wM shut or, by eoaftoiding end the ratable of the high altar, wee ourtaiuod during repairs, No that the only things worth g� seeing were not visible. Into.the. daylight again, we walked on to the Torre Nueva,. ae the leaning tower Is called, entered and olimed its 270 eters to the top. A magnifi• tient view lay below and about us, the winding river fertillsiog vine and olive yards, the pasturelande and in the far, tar distance the shadowy Pyrenees, The town !tee tfs i a very pi otnxe g q a ue eight, h , t with ire narrow and tonneau' street THICKLY CLUSTERED BED-Ro. Fr D H°USES, With their open garrets and balconies in every poeeirlo ; place, and its numerous oharebes, Leaving the town we went out - aide the pity walls again to see a Moorish castle -the Aljaferia. It le a large square: building in geed condition, and now used as a barracks, As we ,were not allowed to enter it without a special permit, we saw no further and returned to tbo city where our next visit was to an old family mansion. It was built in a quadrangle shape with a email courtyard within, upon whioh the windows and doors opened, and a etairease leading to an upper gallery whioh we muoh admired, it being highly decorated with artletl° work and carved balustera, From thence we went to the convent of Santa Engraofa, whioh suffered severely from the French in 1808, a richly carved white marble front and gateway only being left. Also the crypt whioh le now used es the ohuroh, and where the saint is burleu with other hely martyrs whose relies are fondly exhibited. During the evening A. went to the Protestant Minion room where a prayer. meeting was being held and was attended by about 40 persons. These meet with con- siderable opposition but persevere in hope, and during the annual fair actually sell bi- bles and testaments at a stall In the open street. Next day, Wedneeday, the ohuroh of San Pablo wan brat vlafted, in whioh we remarked, as we had done in the cathedrals the ugly and sometimes ladtoroue faces of even the altar images. In many casae these images are ordinary wax Jolie, such as children play with, dressed in gorgeous fashion and not forgetting a lace -edged handkerchief. We were BENT ON SEEING ALL WE COULD In our short atay to the city, and the same morning saw tie at Le Longa, or the Ex. Mange, built in 1551. The eaves are very prettily ornamented with stucco work. The Weide is one large saloon, with two rows of fine pillars and a raised dais at one end, The ceiling is rather like that of La Seo, stucco with gilt rosettes and wheels. We then revisited La Seo to inspect et lei- sure its many objects of interest. This time the baptism of a child, 24 hours old, was about to prooeed, and L. and I went near to see the ceremony. Presently the priest mime up, and imagine our dismay et being addressed by him in the moat peranaeive tones. Then and there he urged our en- trance into the Roman fold, and pleaded how he "would enjoy baptising ue into the true church," as he was about to do for the infant, This of course in Spanish, whioh both L. and A. speak. At last A., who had been standing apart, but listening to L 's arguments against the old priest, came up and soon silenced the old man, who not being able to state when and where it was Jenne said " All who remain outside the Holy Catholic' Church shall go to hell" turned the subject, and then began to think of the poor little baby who was waiting all this time. There was quite a email 000gre. gation by thie time, who laughed and seemed to enjoy the discussion immensely. The baptismal ceremony is very curious, The priest, at the gate of the baptistry put SALT ON THE INFANTS TONGUE, then led it up to the fent, its face being covered by the end of his stole. At the font he owned its ears, throat, mouth, forehead and back of neck with oil and then poured about a saucerful of water over the Drown of its head, after which he declared it to be a member of The Churoh. We then left La Seo and wont to the ohuroh of Santiago, which, ie said to be built on the very spot where Si, James` ledged when on his way through Spain, A. 1). 40. At 4 the next morning we were up and soon after to the atatloa to start for Pamplona, In our car- riage were some country folks who were highly interested in A's map of the district whioh he explained the nee of.

The walls are nearly covered with immense paintings representing the chief Incidents in Loyola's life. Next morning the 4 o'clook train carried us to Alaaeua, whioh we reaoh- ed,at 6, after experiencing the only disagree- able company in the whole journey. A train CROWDED wag RECRUITSAND SOLDIERS off their term of years and just going.home, Ie not a quiet plaoe. Oh the noire—shouting, screaming, singing, dancing, jumping, thump. Ing the seats, shaking the doors, playing on all sorts of instruments; 40 of these men were In our compartment. At Alaasna our train forward was 2 hours late, yet the offi- cials seemed to take it as a matter ef course, despatching at the end of that time an en- gine to seek for it. Presently the engine re- turned with the missing train which had stopped midway between Aleaans and the next station, its engine failing, and had waited patiently till some one should look them up. Two prieete were our company the rest of the way to Bilbao, whioh we reached se late at night as to miss the last tram home, se we hired a coach and pair and drove home in grand style, astonishing Franolaca and our neighbors, who misaiog ne by the last tram, had gene to bed. Thus ended a most enjoyable trip. Questions of Economy. Two old misers, one seventy and the ether eighty years of age, fell into a a diepate as to whioh was the more 000n- omfoal. " The proof," said the former, "that yen have no idea of saving is that during the half hour we have been arguing, a fly In your sugar bowl has been having a feast, and you have not taken the trouble to drive it away," " And the proof that I am far mere sa- ving then you, and that nothing escapes me," retorted his aged opponent, "is that I leave that insect in my sugar -bowl en purpose. He ants as my spy. Whenever, I come home and find that fly gone, I am perfectly sure that the cook has been steal- ing sugar." Fair Evidence for Everybody.

And if, as the sun was hot and him book achedwith;, stooping, it worked as hard as he was work- ing to get these strawberries. But Johnny was not afraid ef work, and' laughed merrily to his small self as one after another the berries seemed to smile out at him as he spied them in their ,hiding -placer under the green leaves. Into the pail they went, and it filled up no fast that he forgot all about the hard work and the raspberry j am in thinking how glad mamma would be. And Harry really most have had some kind of an idea ef how important those strawberries were, for the darling turned hie curly little head over and went to sleep just as Johnny was ready to take the hulls off them. He got the glace dish and carried them In just ae mamma was setting a dish of honey on the table and thinking how trying it was to have no other ranee, when all the neigh- borhood had honey, and Mrs. Brand was probably tired of the sight of It. Mamma was jest as mnoh surprised and delighted as he expected her to be. "0 you little darling 1" she said, "yon are the comfort of my Wee' And when the berries were helped, John- ny, with a very large smile on bis face, whioh only mamma understood, said,— " Yes, if you please, ma'am."

These men who destroy a healthful con- stitution ef body by intemperance, do as, manifestly kill themselves, as those who hang, or poison, or drown themeelves. Good manners, is the art ef making those people easy with whom we oenverae ; whoever makes the fewest persons uneasy, le the beat bred man in company. • Two persons who have chosen mob other out of all the species, with design to be each other's mutual comfort and entertain- ment, have in that action bound themee'ves to be good•humered, affable,dieoreet, forgiv- ing, patient and joyful with respect to each other's frailties and imperfections to the end of their lives.. The ives.- The real difference between men is energy. A strong will, a settled purpose and invincible determination can aeoom- peish almost anything ; and en this lies the distinction between great men and little men. " How," said ene to Sir Waiter Raleigh, of whom it was said he " could tell terribly "—" hew do you acoompliah so much and in so short a time?"

The Roman aeldiere, who built such won- derful en derfnl roads and carried a weight of armor and luggage that would crush the average farm hand, lived on course brown bread and tour wine. Tney were temperate in diet, regular and constant in exercise. The Spanish peasant works every day and dances half the night, yet eats only his black bread, onion and watermelon, The Smyrna port- er eats only a little fruit and some olives. He eats no beef, pork er . mutton, yet he walks off with his load of 800 pounds. The coolie, fed on rioe, le more active and can endure more than the negro fed en fat meat. The heavy work of the world is not done by men who eat the greateet quantity. The fastest or longest -winded horse is not the biggest eater. Moderation in diet seems to be the prerequisite for endurance. -.4414441111.-, A Valuable Man. Merchant—"'Well, if Sparks is a good salesman I would like to got hold of him."
