On Monday last Mr. Jas. Swenerton threshed, his crop of fall wheat, comprising Tread- well and Arnold's " Victor," the latter a new variety, only introduced last fall. Of the former the yield was about 40 bushels to the acre, of the latter about thirty-four. The extra yield of the former may be attributed to early sowing. Th.p spring crops turn out equally as well, barley from about forty-five bushels to the acre. About 800 bushels of grain were threshed on this day. -Complaints are general in many quarters about pathmasters in the rural districts who either neglect or refuse to enforce the la* respecting the destruc- tion of Canada thistles. The law itself is all right if it is only enforced, and to leave it a dead letter in any locality is very unfair to those farmers who volun- tarily exert themselves to banish this- tles from their own 'farms. Any per- son allowing thistles to go to seed on Ibis premises is liable to a fine of from two to ten dollars; or to have thethis- ties cut down at the instance of the pathrnaster, but at the owner's cost. A little judicious stringency in enforcing this useful law would do a great deal towards keeping fields and highways free from one of the greatest of agri- cultural pests. - Literary T-nfelicities. - As illustrating the faet that ilauch of the most productive literary labor is performed amid unfavorable condtions, we quote the following from" Salad for the Solitary :" Many ' an immortal work has been written with the blood of the author, at the expensetef his ha.ppiness and his life. Euripides studied in a -dark cave; Demosthenes at night.; Thomp- son was so excessively lazy that he was once seen to be eating fijuit fron a tree, as it grew, ' standing with both hands in his pockets. Morel possessed such a devotion to study that when the death of his wife was announced to him, he could not be prevailed upon to resign the pen, but simply said: " lam sorry: she was a good. woman." Cowper once wrote: I wonder that a sportive thought should ever knock at the door of my intellect, and still more that it should gain admittance. .It is as if a harlequin should intrude into a cham- ber where a corpse is deposited in state." Chatterton starved two days before he cut his throat. Va,ugelas was surnam- ed. the "Owl," from being obliged to keep withiu all day and venture out only at night, through fear of his credi- tors. Sheridan watched. long and anx- iously for a bright idea and afterwards • rewarded. ift an himself with a glass or two of port. Sir Walter Scott enter- tained the idea that his poetic vein never flowed happy except between the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. Bloomfield wrote his " Farmer's Boy" with chalk upon a pair of bellows. Tasso on one occasion, having addressed a sonnet to a favorite cat, he begs the light of her eyes to mite by, as he was too poor to buy a candle. It is supposed, and with great reason, that but for peculiar cir- cumstances, men of genius would not have achevied so much or so well. 1 An Earthquake at a Wedding Sad Efect of the Omen Upon the Bride. About two years ago a bridal party were assembled in a city church :under circumstances that seemed to presage a bright and happy future. The ser- vice was nearly done. The min'ster wit said: "I pronounce you man and _ife." At the moment that the words 1 ere spoken the air became suddenly dark- ened, and before the amazed assembly could move from their seals the church was violently shaken by the shock of an earthquake. In a moment nothing could be heard but the shrieks of wo- men!' and the confused sounds of the people rushing to the door. Fortunate- ly no one was seriously hurt in the panic, although several were badly bruised in the crush. , In the first moment of the excite- 1nel:it the bridesmaids and groomsmen had fled, and when the ohurch was 'cleared, three persons only remained at the altar -the minister and the newly married pair. The bridegroom stood with palhd face and shaking limbs, as he supported in his arms the apparently lifeless form of his bride, and frantically attempted to recall her to consciousness. At last She revived, but her eyes had no sooner opened. than she shrieked. and_ again fainted. By this time the minister had procured_ a carriage, and into this she was placed. They were driven rapidly to the beanti- ful home that had, been prepared for them. A physician was summoned at once, and. after a while suceeeded in re- viving the unfortunate girl.' In due time she recovered her usual bodily health, but in place of the jay-- ous spirits that were once ' her charm, there was a settled melancholy which not the tenderest attention of her hus- band or the strenuous endeavors of lov- ing friends could dispel. In vain was she taken to every amusement that the city afforded. The distracted' young husband at last thought of trying the effect of travel, and throwing aside the claims of business he took her on a tour to the gayest cities in the North and West. She went without a/murmur to every place suggested, and as grateful for his care and solicitude, but her spirits sank lower and lower, until filially her husband brought her home al/6st in despair., Whenasked the cause of her melanoholy, she always replied, "that terrible omen," and nothing could induce her to say more. Months passed on, and still -the shadow remained upon this household. The bride now merged into the matron and mother, but never recovered from the shock sustained on that unhappy wed- ding -da.). She was as tender and thoughtful in her treatment of her hus- band and child as could be imagined, but the melancholy that, had first characterized her manner had. become a settled sadness that never changed. About two weeks ago it was 'noticed that she was even in lower spirits than formerly, and about ten days ago she attempted to commit suicide by taking strychnine; but her condition was for- tunately dispovered in time and a phy- sician summoned at once, who, by prompt measures, saved her life. Since this time the unfortunate lady has re- mained in the same depressed condi- tion as before- the, attempt upon her life, and what the result of this super- stitious fear of the marriage day will be time only can show. -Memphis Avalanche. Coal Ashes and Currant Worms. Early in the spring, that is, before the leaves start, I cut out all old stalks; clean all dirt and grass from the roots, throw the refuse away as far as I can with a shovel,'cover the roots with fresh dirt, and the dirt with manure, and the manure with from two to fadr niches of. coal ashes. I have followed this plan for years, and when the work -men obey orders I am never troubled with currant -worms. When they "slight the job I get a few currant -worms, otherwise ray currants are very fine. I don't mean to advise a little pile of coal ashes close to the bush, but I . do advise that the ashes should be spread all over the ground as far as the bush will extend. Every family that uses coal can save enough ashes for their own bushes, but but those have, say, twenty acres of currants, more or less, I say put on coal ashes if you can get them. Plough un- der the old ashes and you kill the eggs. It may take you two or three .years to kill all the eggs but stick to it and you will conquer. FALL SHOWS.
