made from that which is partly worn and
the work done by the industrious wife and
mother. Go into her house when you
please and you find her busy. Unlike
many we know, she never wastes her time
attending balls and parties of pleasure,
which are Of no use or profit. This is the
secret of ncighbor BIS success-a good
wife. Young men who are looking for
companions should be particular in their
choice, if they wish to succeed in life
Some persons are carried away with fine

many young men succeed no better and
become bankrupt. Their household ex-

her husband! She will not bake his bread.

A girl must be employed in the kitchen at

THE REWARD.
by J. G. WHITTIER


Who looking backward from his manhoods prir
Sees not the spectre of his mispent time;
And, through the shade
OF funeral cypress, planted thick behind,
Hears no reproachful whisper on the wind
From his loved dead
Who bears no trace of PASSIONS evil force
Who shuns thy sting, o terrible Remorse
Who would not cast
Half OF his Future from him, but to win
Wakeless oblivion for the wrong and sin
OF the sealed past
Alas. the evil, which we fan would shun,
We do, and leave the wished.for good undone
Our strength to-day
Is but to-morrows weakness, prone TO fall;
Poor, blind, Improbable servants nll
Are we always.
Yet who thus looking backward DER his years,
Feels not his eyeids wet with grateful tears,
lfhe hath been
Permitted, weak and sinful as he was,
To cheer and aid, in some ennobling cause,
His iellow-men!
lfhe hath hidden the outcast or let in
ray of shunshne to the cell OF sin;
fhe hath lent
Strength to the weak, and, in an hour ofneed,
Over the suffering, mindless OF his creed
Or hue, hath bent:
lie has not lived in vain and while he gives
The praise to Him in whom he moves and lives,
With thankful heart
He gazes backward. and with hope before,
Knowing that from his work he never more
Can henceforth part.

The dispute was beginning to get warm /:
Gabrielle whispered to her father,

sisters; | will give you the other half for
drink.
'Thank you, my child said the father,
who accordingly, took the money from his
daughter and went out
But this man, who could drink without
any scruple the fruit of his own labor, felt
a kind of rcmorse in expanding at the tavern
the money which had been earned BY his
daughter; and when he drew from his peck
ct the hard-earned pieces which the slight,
delicate hand of his daughter had placed in
his, the sound of them, as they iingled on
the counter, went to his very heart, and that
evening, for wonder, he returned homo

had hardly taken few steps, when he came
back. 'Gabrielle,' said he, come and we
will take walk to the country
Gabrielle started up with alacritv. You
are not going to the tavern, father ? said
she to him.
Is it with a young girl like you! Do
you think me brute ? said the man.
The heart, after all, is the best teacher of
what is becoming.
Gabrielle knew how to read, and during
their walk she related to her father mum.

but he told them what his daughter had

modesty, are better in the poor mans house
than riches And Immediately, without
even inquiring whether Gabrielle were ugly

his son.

LANDS on THE CANADA ILyE.-EX-Governor
Hill, of New Hampshire, speaking of a trip he
made along the Canada line, between Lower
Canada and Vermont and New Hampshire, thus
expresses himself: 81 was surprised at the
extent and value of this whole country for farm
ing purposes. | believe the belt Of country for
100 miles south of l5th degree, and eastward
of Lake Champlain, over Vermont and New
Hampshire, through the whole extent of Maine
to the Bay of Fundy and the sea, TO be the most
valuable tract of land in New England. The
Canada townships, of ten miles square, farther
north, are splendid. Stanstead may be taken as
sample. The best township of Vermont is
said to be Derby lying by the side of it. The
cattle, and all the productions of these two
towns are on larger scale than we find down
south"
Mr.. George Olmstead, of East Hartford, has
greatly improved piece Of sandy land, which
/ formerly produced very scanty crops, by mixing
with ii earth of a clayey nature. lie is conf

Prices OF FARMs.--The Village Record, pub

HOoF-AlL, OR "FOUL IN THE FOOT"

This is a disease which affects the feet OF
cattle in similar manner to what the feet oil
sheep are affected by the foot-rot." Some
have supposed that the diseases are in fact iden-
teal; but attempts have been made to innocu-
late cattle with the virus from sheep having the
foot-rot, which failed; and this has led to the
conclusion that the two diseases are confined to
the species of animal in which they appear.
Hoof-ail, like foot-rot, though it may originate
spontaneously, or from accident, is, when once
induced, believed to be contagious, and hence,
when an animal is discovered to be affected, it
should be kept by itself I'LL the danger of COM
mnnicating the disease is passed.
The first indication of hoof-ail is a soreness
and lameness in whichever foot is attacked. II
no remedy is applied, the disease progresses
rapidly-there is more or less swelling imme-
diately above the hoof and about the pastern
Joint accompanied frequently by great heat and
high inflammation Tho ihocf soon separates
from the skin on the inside, between the claws,
and in aggravated cases the hoof sometimes
cleayes off. The disease appears to occasion
the animal great pain through its whole course.
The first thing to be done towards cure, should
be to cleanse the foot thoroughly by washing in
strong soapsuds, or ley of wood ashes. En-
anime the inside of the claws, and if there is
any appearance of pent-up matter, pare away
the hoof so as to permit free discharge. Apply
solution of blue vitrol wherever the disease is
manifested, and this wash may be repeated with
advantage once or twice a day, till the disease
is evidently subdued. A plcdget Of tow, satu'
rated with tar, and bound in between the claws
has been found useful in healing the foot after
the other applications lave teen used.
