THE TINES.

The times-the timcs-I say the times,
Are getting worse than ever;
The good old way our fathers trod
Shall grace their children never
The homely hearth of homes: mirth-
The traces of their plough
The places of their worshipping,
Are all forgotten now.
Farewell, the farmers honest looks,
And independent mien-
The tassel of his waving corn
The blossom of the bean
The turnip top the pumpkin vine
The produce Of his toll,
lave given place to flower pots,
And plants of foreign soil
Farewell, the pleasant husking night
It's merry after-scenes,
When Indian pudding smoked beside
The giant pot of beans;
When lasses joined the social band,
Nor once affected fear,
But gave pretty cheek to kiss
For every crimson ear.*
Affected modesty was not
The test Of virtue then,
And few took pains to swoon away
at the sight of ugly men,
For well they knew the purity
Which woman's life should own,
Depends not on appearances,
But on the heart alone.
Farewell TO all the buoyancy
The openness of youth
The confidence of kindly hearts
The consciousness of truth
The natural tone of SYMPATHY
The language of the heart
Now curbed by fashions tyranny,
Or turned aside by art.
Farewell, the jovial quilting match
The song and merry play
The wh!rling of the pewter plate
The many pawns to pay
The mimic marriage brought about
By leaplng DER the broom
The good old play OF blind mans buff
The laugh that shook the room.
Farewell the days of industry
The time has glided by,
When pretty hands were pretticst
At making pumpkin pie
When waiting maids were needed not,
And morning brought along
The music of the spinning wheel,
And mllkmaid's careless song.
All! artless days of innocence
Your dwellings are no more
And we are turning from the path
Our fathers trod of yore-
The homely hearth of honest mirth-
The traces of the plough
The places of their worshipping,
Arc all forgotten now.

HoRN ALL IN CATTLE. In the month
OF April last, | had COW taken with the
horn all, to that degree that she had nearly
stopped eating, and from giving a large
quantity of milk, had become nearly drv.
punctured her horn with a gimblet and
injected vinegar, in which cult had been
dissolved. 1t was soon evident that it WAS
an injury. l then applied to an aged ac-
quaintance, who has had mech experience
in docto.ing animals and stated to him the
case and what had done. He said sit
was very wrong ever to make hole in an
animals horn for that disorder, that very
simple medicine would cure it."
"Take of salt, one-half pint, of stone
soot,* one-half pint, of black pepper, one
table spoonful, make all fine, and give one,
or two, spoonfuls at time, night and morn
ing. 1t is easily done by drawing the
tongue ont of the mouth with the hand, and
putting the spoon as far down as it will
! reach, then let go the tongue and keep up
the nose and it will all go down." follow
ed the directions, and in two days my cow
was better; and in a week was perfectly
well. The same may not cure in all cases
of horn all, as my informant said it would,
but it is worth the trial.

MAJOR LANG. One of the most remark
able instances of enthusiastic devotion to
the cause of science on record, is afforded
by the life Of the late distinguished British
traveller, Major Laing. Previous to his de-
parture for the journey into the interior of
\ Africa, in which he lost his life, but after
all his arrangements for it bad been COM
pleted, his affections were engaged TO a
young lady, the accomplished daughter of
tho British Consul at Trlpoli. The parties
were utter strangers TO each other but
few weeks before. There was no time TO
waste in protracting courtship, and on the
18th July 1895, Major LANG was married
to Emma Maria Warrington. But the eve
of their marriage was also tho eve of his
departure upon that mission from which he
was doomed never to return. The second
day after the nuptials ne set out for those
vallies of death wherein all preceding ada
venturers had found grave.
This is no fiction it is indeed romance
but is the romance Of reality. After his de-
parture frequent letters were received from
thim for five or six months. After that, a
long period elapsed, with nothing but vague
rumors, till not long since such intelligence
was received as to leave little doubt that he
had fallen q victim TO the political jealousy
of an African Chief about the 2lst of Sep.
