LIFE AND DEATH.-Some men make
a womanish complaint, that it is a great
misfortune to die before our time. 1
would ask what time? Is it that of ma
tures But she, indeed, has lent us life,
as we do a sun of money, only no GER
tain day is fixed for payment. What
reason then to complain, if she demands
it at pleasure since it was on this con,
dition you received it.-Cicero.

SMALL MOUTH ONE HUsBAND-LARGE
Two-Old Gov. L. of Vermont, was
one of the most inyeterate jokers of the early
times in which he figured.
An aneedote is told of him, which has new
er been related in print, and never can be
perhaps, with much effect but we will try
One fall, as he was returning from the
Legislature, on horseback, as was usual at
that day, he was hailed from a house by a
garrulous old maid, who had often annoyed
him with question, respecting public affairs.
"Well, Governor" said she, coming out to-
wards the road, 'wbat new laws have you
passed up at Montpelier, this time 2"
swell, one rather singular law among the
rest,"he replied.
aDew tell! Now what is it q asked the
excited querist.
"Why, the woman in each town who has
the smallest mouth, shall be warranted ahus-
band.'
"Why, what ?" said she, drawing up her
mouth to the smallest possible compass, "what
queer curious Tor that is 4"
@Yes, but we have passed another that
beats that-the woman who has the largest
mouth is to have two husbands "
@Why what :" exclaimed the oldmaid, in,
stantly relaxing her mouth, and stretching il
wider at every syllable, "what a remarkable
law that is when does it come in force, Gov
ernorg"
AT this, the Governor put spurs to hi
horse and vanished.

custom, as we learn from an esteemed friend
in all parts Of Scotland, to send invitations
when a death occurs in a family, to all tn,
neighbors to attend the funeral. On one oc
casion, a neighbor was omitted by the be
reayed family, in the usual invitation, a feu,
having arisen between them. On the da
of the funeral, while the people were Assem-

door and watched the gathering. At length

AGRICULTURAL
DISEASES OF STOCK.

The following summary. from the A
merican Agriculturist, will be found in
teresting and valuable to our farming
friends
To CURE A STIFLED HORSE IN Two
HoURs.-Take M gallon of urine, and
put therein a small handful OF Junk to-
bacco ; boil down to one quart: then add
two ounces ofoil o spike, and 1 ounce of
oil Of amber, two spoonfuls of spirits of
turpentine, and two spoonsful of honey.
Put it into Aug and cork it tight for use.
Process of application rub the side
bone hard with the mixture fifteen or
twenty minutes; then dry it thoroughly
with a red hot fire shovel, then ride the
horse forth and back one hundred yards.
Repeat the above two or three times and
the cure will be effected.
BONE SPAvIN.-I think / have cured
one hundred horses of the bone spawn,
by taking a sharp knife and cutting a.
cross the enlarged part. / then take a
piece Of iron made nearly in the shape
of an inch chisel, and heat it red hot,
and in the cuts made with the knife un.
til ! think I have burned through the
enlarged bone. then apply spirits o.
turpentine or tar until the place heals
which takes a month or more. The
remedy is a sever one, better use i
than have a lame horse.
CALLS FROM HARNESS OR SADDLE
"a Volunteer" tells the New England
Farmer that the following remedy wa,
found to be invaluable in the fatiguein,
march in Mexico:
White lead, finely pulverized, is th,
most effectual application. Rubbed O.
dry, or made into a paste. with milk, an,
applied a few times; it will also proven
white hair growing on CALLED places.

WINE

WINE.
There's a spell round the wine cup,
When a noisy train is nigh,
And the ruby tide goes swelling up.
A rich stream clear and high.
But sad from every tone of songs,
That carols there in glee;
The church-yard rings an echo long,
Back on its minstrelsy.
Gay smiles light up the wine cup,
AS Ger each crystal brim
The laugh and Jest, the time fill up,
Till the strong mind grows dim.
But bending Ger the lonely hearth,
For every bright drop there
Some aching heart unknown to mirth,
Distills the silent tear.
There's magic in the wine cup,
When syren pleasure stands.
Holding the glitt'ring ehaliee up
With rosy dimpled hands.
But look, weak votary, deep within,
Where the dull dregs remain;
And mark the phantom's ruin, sin.
Writing the druHkdrdS name?
The temples rear'd to Baechus,
Are based on victims bones
Their blood floats in that lava food,
Their hearts mould in the stonesl
In the enchanted goblet,
Dwells no oblivion's tide,
Bot a full and poison'd streamlet,
Drowning all manhood's pride.
The wreck Of wealth and honor,
A blighting flaming brand,
Lightning a dark seourge DER the earth,
A Lucifer's command.
A vail from palace chambers,
Eeho'd by humber shed,
Round the Wine-Demon wanders,
Mourning the lost and dead.
The Father or the Lover,
Bound in the tempter's chain
The Husband, Child or Brother,
Touched by the loathsome strain.
OH for an angel trumpet
To ring with mighty sway,
And from the homes made d~esolate,
Rend this deep curse awayl

CHARCOAL FOR SwINE.-It is not, per-
haps, generally known, that one of the best
articles that can be given to swine while in
preparation for the tub, is common charcoal.
The nutritive properties have subsisted upon
it without any other food, for weeks togeth-
er. Geese confined SO as to be deprived Of
motion, and fed with three grains of corn
per day, and as much charcoal as they could
deyour, have become fat in eight DAYS
though they were poor and thin in flesh when
confined; The hog eats it voraciousIy after
a little time and is never sick while he has 8
full supply. 1t should always be kept il the
