SATURDAY NrGHT.--lIow the heart of the
weary man icjoices as, with his weeks wages
in his pocket, he HES HIM home to gather his
little ones around him and gather consolation
from his hearth-sonc for the many hard hours
he has toiled TO win his pttance. Saturday
night! How the poor woman sighs for very
relief as she realizes that again God has sent
her time for rest and though her rewards have
been small, vet is she content to live on, for
even her heart builds up in the future home
where It's always Saturday eve! How the care
worn man of business reloXes his brow, and,
closing his shop, saunters deliberately around
to gather up little gossip ere he goes quietly
home to take a good rest How softly the
young man pronounccs the word, for bright
eyed maiden is in waiting. and this Saturday
night shall be a blessed time for him-there
will be low words spoken by the garden gate,
and there will be pressure Of haDds--pesha ps
pressure of lps-hlessed Saturday night
TO all kind Heaven has given little leaven
which works in the heart to stir up the gentle
emotions and Saturday night alone seems the
meet and fitting time for dreaming gentle
dreams. Blessed Saturday night and we can
but pray that through life we may bear with lis
the remembrance of It's many holy hours now
gone into the far past-memores which every
Saturday eve but recalls like benedictlon
pronounced by one loved and gone."-.Sandusky

Yet poet never dcign'd to sing

Scarcely one tint Of lRls' bow

With pencil dry, might paint the tlow'r;
Yet instant blush'd, her fault to see,
So gave Il double fragrancy
Rich recompence for aught denied
Who would not horucly garb abide,

Teach me internal worth to prize,

RETIRING or GENERAL j hCKSON.-lhc second

expired ON the Sd Of March, 1887. The next
day, at -, he appeared with his successor,

Though disrobed OF power and retiring to the
shades of private life, it was evident that the

of this intense regard. At the moment that
he began to descend the broad steps Of the
portico to take his scat in the open carriage

AN ORTHODOX DoG-Attending meeting
last Sabbath evening for the first time at DIR
Chandler's church III this town, | was amused
to see large one-cared dog stalk up the aisle
near the commencement of the services, and qul
city stretch hlmselfou upon the pulpit platform.
After taking a survey of the congrrgatio .
as if probably to see who were absent, he drop
ped his head and fell INTO sound sleep, perhaps
thinking that was city style. | afterwards
learned that this dog was strictly secarlan
in his views having after mature delIberatlon
settled down upon the mode of worship as
adopted by the Congregationalist order, and
chosen the meadow church as his regular place
of meeting
Ills master is of the Baptist denomination
and attends church in this village. But the dog
pins his faith on no ones sleeve. He accom-
panlcs his master on the Sabbath to the road
that leads to his own chosen place of worship
and there turns away without saying one word
to persuade him that his own way Is right and
all Others are wrong. At the intermssion he
calls on a neghbor, gets his dinner. and attends
divine worship again in the afternoon. At the
close OF services he quietly wenGs his way home
ward medltatlng upon the topic of the day, no
doubt, and perhaps revolving in his own mind
how much more OF the true Christian spirit
might be shown by professors if they would
but do as he does, worship where he chooses
and let others do the same without molestaton

POULTRY MANURE.-This is the most
valuable of the farm manures, and is en-
titled to great care inits collection and use.
Beyond the amount of fwater it contains, il
is as valuable as guano, and therefore
should never be sold by practical farmers
to morocco dressers, at 25 cents per bush
el. The poultry-house should be under
laid with charcoal-dust when it can be pro-
cured so as to receive the hen manure as
fast as made. The surface of this char
coal-dust should occasionally be raked or
removed off to one corner, with portion
of the dung. This may be continued un-
til the manure is required for use, when it
should be thoroughly mixed with ten times
its bulk of soil before being applied to
crops. Where charcoal dust cannot be
procured, well decomposed swamp-muck,
plaster of paris, OF even aluninous clay,
may be frequently busted oyerthe floor of
the poultry to be mixed with this
manure. The object of all this is to re-
ceive and retain the ammonia, so as to
prevent its liberation from injuring the
health ofthe inmates ofthe poultry-house
All animals, man included, suffer from
breathing the efluvia arising from their
excretia, and this is particularly true of the
feathered tribes. Their natural habits in
the wild state cause them to pass through
the upper strata of the atmosphere, and
with such velocity as to readily rid them
selves of the noxious gases given off be thy
surface of their bodies, and to be beyond
any deleterious influence from the fumes
of their excretia. We should, therefore,
in the poultry-houses, make such arrange
ments as will prevent the poultry from in
haling these deleterious cases. Worhing

THE Horse NEarket Of New york.

IT F
From a lengthy statistical article in late
New York paper, we Gull the following de-
tails respecting the horse tradeof that city
The writer divides the horses used IN
the city business into fifteen grades, VIZ;
omnibus and railroad; hack; licensed cart;
grocers; city express; foreign express;
milkmen's; soda water; bakers; ice cart;
truck; scavengers; ash and dirt; pedlars
and butchers. The gross value of the;
labor of the animals of all grades
is SIS, 100000. The annual cost Of stab
ling a trihe under half that amount. More
than five million dollars are spent annual
ly in remuneration to drivers who number
nearly thirteen thousand. The vehicles
drawn are valued at two millions; the har-
ness at one-half million dollars. Three
million pounds ofiron is annually consum-
ed in the item of shoeing at a cost of four
hundred thousand dollars. The number
of horses Of all grades is 22,50o; their
value two and half million dollars.-Jbs..e

THE RICHEST M1NE.-The manure ap-
piled to the soil of England amo tnts to
three hundred millions of dollars; being
more than the value of it's whole foreign
commerce; yet the grateful soil yields back
with interest all that is thus lavished upon
it. And so it would do here if we would
only trust the soil with any portion of our
capital. But this werarely do. A farmer
who has made any money, spends it not in
his business, but in some other occupation.
He buys more land wien he ought to buy
more manure; or he puts out his money in
some joint stock company, to convert sun
shine into moonshine--or he buys shares
in some gold or lead mine. Rely upon it,
our richest mine is the barnyard, and
whatever temptations stocks or shares may
offer, the best investment for a farmer is
live stock and plowshares.-Agricultor.

MUNICIPALITY APPLIED TO SWAMIN

HYDRoPATHY APPLIED TO SWAMING
BEEs.-Dr Robinson of ofFarmington, n. Y.
informs us that he succeeded perfectly
with hive Of bees that persisted in col
lecting in thick masses outside the hive
andsgdoing nothing He bored hole
through the top, which happened, as he
wished, to strike the space between the
combs. He then fitted small hive above
the old one, and standing at respectful
distance, with syringe in his hands, con-
tinued to shoot the bees with delicate
broadsides of cold water. They soon re-
treated to the interior, and ascending
through the holes, occupied the new hive
above. They Immediately went to work
to fill it, and in about five weeks it was
found to contain twenty pounds Of honey.
Anotherperson had accomplished the same
purpose by covering the top with fresh
branches of trees, and then initiating a
shower ofrain by drenching these branch
es with watering pot.-County Gentle

ssTired of Farming,

"A few months ago, a man who had been
a farmer from his early life, came to the
city to buy stoves to sell again. Said he
to the stove dealer, the weevil begins to
infest the wheat and all things considered,
/ am tired of farming and SO have sold
my farm The stove dealer remarked
that he thought with in himself, that just
as like asnot the discontented farmer would
find weevil in the heart of the new busi-
ness-and SO it proved, for when the day
arrived on which the note matured, given
for the stoves, the old farmer, now turned
tradesman, confessed that he had not been
able to sell his stoyes-that he had most
Of them on hand.
Tired of farming the most indepen-
dent business man can engage in, be-
cause, forsooth, there are disappointments,
and perplexities, and trials, and vexations
attendingit. Remember, you who are til
lers of the soil, that your cares, and troub-
les and anxieties are few and far between,
compared with those suffered by CONNER
cial men. Ifyour chances to become rich
are not SO inviting and profitable, as those
ofthe tradesman, bear in mind that the
dangers of being very poor and destitute
are far less. Famine and abject poverty
seldom overtake the farmer, or haunt him
in their ghostly visits. He lives on the
high table-land ofpromise, rising far above
the murky region of want and destitution.
His children can say there is bread enough
in our father house, and piece to spare
to the hungry of other less fortunate call
ings.
Tired of farmingp Supposing you are.
What is to be done in such a case? Do
. you expect to find an employment without
trials and perplexities? If SO, you are
doomed to disappointment. There is NO
vocation in this world that will exempt
those who engage therein, from cares, and
fears, and yexations. So if you are tired
offarming, the best way is to get rested
justas soon as you can, and prosecute "a
new the business for which you were early
trained, and which, if diligently followed
will yield good supply of all the neccs-
saries and comforts Of life, together with
opportunities for ment,.. and moral culture
