On one.occasion, during the heat of
summer, Josey was in New Orleans,
pursuing his honorable calling. when
the hot 9southern sun proving rather
too much for his iron constitution, he
was taken with the yellow fever. In
q little while our hero found himself
IN the Charity Hos sital, emaciated and
shrunk up with disease, a mere Shadow
of what he had BEEN The doctor did
all he couldifor him, and finally told
Josey he must seek his peace with
Heaven by calling in a preacher. Z.

lSplendor which is no more than the
reward OF their long life of industry
Will any body say that the children 81
such 'soldi folks" should live in the
same grandeur as their parents? The
Idea is prepoSterous. They have nc
/ right to such luxury, they have done
lnothing TO deserve If if their parents
are honest in dividing their property
among themT they can have no means
Of supporting it. Yet marriages are
contracted on the principle that the
married couple shall be able to keep up
The rank to which they have been ac-
.customed under the paternal roof 1t
is such notions as this engendered by
Malthusian philosophers, and fostcred
by lazy pride-that are filling our coun-
try with 'poor old naids,n with coquet-
ish young ladies, with nice, cigar smo-
king, good for nothing young men.
BEAUTIFUL AILEGoRY.-Night kissed
the young rose, and it bent softly to
sleep. And stars shone, and pure
drops hung upon its blushins bosom,
and watched its pure slumbelS. Nor
ming came with her dancing breeZes,
and they whispered to the young rose,
and it awoke joyous and sniling.
Lightly it danced to and fro in all the
loveLneSs of health and youthful inno-
cence.
Then came the ardent sun-god
sweeping from the east, and he Slnote
the young rose with his golden shaft
and it tainted Deserted and almost
heart-broken, it dropped to the dust
in its loveliness and despair.
Now the gentle breeze, who had
been gamboling over the sea, pushing
on the light bark, sweeping over hill
and dale-by the neat cottage and the
still broo!1-fanning the 1eyered brow
Of disease and tossing the card of
innocent childhood-came tripping
along on the errands of mercy and love;
and when she haStened to kiss it, and
fondly bathed its forehead in cool, re-
freShlns showers, the young rose re
yived, looked up and smiled, flung its
ruddy arms as if in gratitude to
embrace the kind breeze; but she hur-
ried quickly away when her generous
task was performed-yet not withou.
lcward, for she soon perceived that a
delicious fragrance had been poured on
her wings by the grateful rose, and the
kind breeze was glad in her heart,
ma went away singing though the
trees.
Thus charity like the breeze which
gathers fragrance from the humble
lowers, it refreshes, unconsciouSly
relps d reward in performance of its
offices Of Kindness and love. which
steals through the heart like a rich
perfume to bless and to cheer.

LATEST YET.-During the summer Of
1916, corn being scarce in the upper
country, and one of the citizens being
hard pressed for bread, having worn
threadbare the hospitality of his gene
rons neighborS, by his extreme lazinesS,
they thought IL an act of charity to
bury him. Accordingly, he was carried
towards the place Of interment, and
being met By one Of the citizens, the
follywing conversation took place:

no, he is not dead, but he might

GROUND AND UNGROUND-- COORED AND
luScoexED FooD@In a communication
from Society OF Shakers at Lebanon,
New York, in the Patent Office Report,
we find the following upon the rela-
tive value of ground and unground,
cooked and tincooked, corn, for
feeding and flttel ing cattle, &c:
sThe experience gilmore than thirty
years led us TO estimate ground corn at
one-third higher than unground corn as
food for cattle, and especially for
fattening pork; hence it has been the
practice Of our society for more than d
quarter of century to grind all our
provender.
"The same experience induces us to
put a higher value upon cooked than
upon raw meal. and for fittening ami
mails, swine particularly, we consider
three of cooked equal to four bushels
Of raw meal, .. a..#
"Until within the last three or four
years our society fattened annually for
thirty years, from 10000 to 10000
pounds Of pork, exclusive oflard and
offal fat, and it is the constant practice
to cook the meal for which pur-
pose six or seven potash kettles are.
used"
The Shakers are a cIose-obs,rving,
calculating people, and go in for the
practical realities OF life; and therefore
in the economy Of food, must be presu-
med to be good judges. For ourself
we arc disposed to believe the conclu-
sioHs to which they have arrived to be
correct. I'D. American Farmer.
