Thomas thatmorning had gone out
sober, and with a determination to
procure work, (if he could) J, to enable
him to provide some food for his wife
and child. He wandered up and down
the street, endeavorihg TO obtain a
job Of work, but he walked in vain.
Half famished, he sauntered down
Market street, hoping to meet some
familiar face and procure work suAi-
cient to accomplish his object. There
was one friend who had often assisted
him this was I" Ned" the companion

store of Carton & Co., he inquired if
Edward Torbet was in? The porter
replied that Edward had gone with a
customer over to- Harry Blight's to
lunch. r-
To lunch! Eleven o'clock! And
a series of years all shrouded in
mourning, flashed across his brain
He staggered, and would have fallen,
had not the porter sustained him. The
4 porter placed Tom upon a chair, and
procured a tumbler Of water for him
to drink. The cool beverage revived
him, and visions of rounds of beef
rose up before his view.
Thanking the porter for his kind
ness, he arose and took his way to
Harry Blight's tavern, 1t was past
eleven o'clock when he entered the
bar-room. His appearance was shah

Ned was sippingsome Sherry wine,
while conversing with his customer.
Harry Blight happened to cast his
eyes towards the lunch table, and
caught the form of Tom, as. with Wig

into his stomach. With one bound,
Harry crossed the counter, and con-
fronted Tom. a

One Of the most contemplate things Of this
most contemplate of all contemplate Legs-
lutures was transacted on last week. The
Legislature had previously received an invi-
tation to attend frolic at Zanesvle, and as
their time would cost the State some six or
seven hundred dollors, it would seem that
they looked around to see what they could
do an effect to this waste of the public money.
They had already sreated State and Ju-
dicial Aristocrdcy voting high salaries to the
oiiicers-they had voted themselves and their
subordlnates four dollars per day, while they
were doing comparatively nothing for it.
Ttesesalaries, ,ofcourse,it would not do to touch
1t would not do even to vote that they would
not receive their four dollars per day, for the
time they were off on the frolic. What then
was to be done? The amount must be saved
somehow. In looking around, thev found the

Lime fer Fowls.

Eggs are, fiat any time, a lHxary in winter,
and whatever (by keeping the fowls in good
health and condjlion) promotes their produc-
ton is otlntercsI to the majority of our rea
ders. We lad the following reasonable para
graphs in the Boston Cultivator:
All domestic fowls, as well as other ami
mails, require more or less lime. 1t is the
chef constituent Of their bones, ana is proba-
bly, useful in many cases, in small quantities.
as condiment. In addition to these purpo-
ses, fowls which lay eggs require lime .or the
formation Of the rggshells Ordinarily, fowls
which have then liberty can procure Sufficient
lime to satisfy their wants. 1t is contained in
the grain on which ihey feed, and frequently
in the stones and earth which they swallow.
But in winter when fowls have less access
to the ground, or when they are confined in
small enclosures, they have less opportunity to
select the mnera! substances which they re-
quire. Hence an artificial supply becomes
nee -ssary. How shall this be given? BY
placing the articles within their reach SO that
they may. take voluntarily, jusl the quantity tc
which they are prompted by nature. Place
sackened lime, broken into pieces the size o
/ peas on shelves where the fowls can readily
( pick it up. BY Stacking lime in a vessel il

and letting it dry. it can readily be pounded in
to the desired form, in which it appears tt
suit the fowls best.
An article is going the rounds recommend

PEELED to drink lime water because they Car
get no other, we see no objection; or to giving
lime to fowls in solution, provided they have
pure water always within their reach, bu
there is nothing TO show that this form of Civ.
ing lime has any advantage over the mode
first described above, and the former has the
preference as to convenience, especially in
cold weather, when the article is most requir

LADY VS.. WIFE.

The editor of the Providence journal, who
is considerable of an Gr5itor aLegaatiarun,
which means man of taste, says this:
"We wish the Democratic papers would call
Mrs. Pierce the ,OJe Of the President elect
instead Of his tady They are legally mar.
ried, and she is entitled to the name of wife
Besides, it shocks all our ideas of mo ality to
hear it said that the President elect of tht
United States is travelling around SO much
with any other woman than his wife, Ii any
of the Democratic papers labor under tn,
impression that the title Of wife is not granc
enough, we can assure them that Blackwood' p.
Magazine, which is high arstocratic authority
has fully endorsed it, in a long and excelen
article, the text of which was taken from a
paragraph in this paper.
"An anecdoe is told Of q Scotch shop
keeper, who declined some request made by

er; that | am the Bishops lady? 'Hoot

Female Teachers.

Why are female teachers so poorly paid
Are they not well educated aud fully compe
tent for their business? If they are not then
they should not be employed. Is it answered
that they can be obtained cheaper and that
school officers employ them by the way of be-
ing economical? 1t is never economical to
employ poor and Unqualified teachers. The
functions of the Office are 50 important that
the kind Of talent which can address itself to
the heart and unfold and open the mind OF
children, ought to be used. But this faculty
of engaging and opening the mind OF child
| is not SO common as to authorize school trus-
tees to catch up any one who has the first ru-
diments of learning and put her into the vo-
cation. 1t is miserable policy to entrust the
opening Of the empty mind to persons who
have nothing to pour into the vacuum. As
the thirsty plant of the garden waits for, and
withers for the want of rain, so a little child
in school where there is lack Of skill or f.
deity on the part of the teacher, is dwarfted
and stunted. Children need the engaging
address Of polished females for their early de-
velopment Nature designed that maternal
love and wisdom should be exercised upon
youth and childhood, The graces of kindness,
patience, purity, modesty, industry and knowl-
edge, that SO beautify the female character,
are in general better exemplifed in well ed.
ucated and vrtuous female teacher; but a
female wanting these graces is not qualified to
do good service as teacher. Acerbity and
grcssness Of manner in female is injurious
and repulsiye beyond estimation. Like frost
upon the early blossoms, they destroy in EN-.
bryo the prospective fruit The character.
the temper and the adaptedness in many 9TH
er respects, Of her who would be teacher,
ought TO be inquired into before any young
lady is installed in the official dignity OF teach
ing child. Her moral image is being in
stamped, sometimes with the quickness of a
photographic impression, upon the expanding
mind of the child. knowledge is the food OF
| the mind, and the child receives whatever is
dropped from its teacher, whose prolific mind
and aniable manners have engaged its love.
Let, therefore, none but intelligent and good
tempered persons, who are apt to teach, be
employed. bat where such are found, and EN-,
ployed. let them be paid according to their
WORTH Teachers Advocate.

YeK ThIngs---COrn Sown for Fodder

Oursef farmer, we trust we may take the
liberty Of utlering one plain truth to our
brethren, and that is, they have as a class u
most bitter hostility to every thing new, than
any other profession whatever. Go to .he
manufacturer or mechanic; be is ever on the
watch for all new improvements and is willing
to give them trial, frequently when quite
unpromising. But with the farmer, as gem
eral rule. however 'r,nising, he obslinately

Sowing Indian corn for fodder, is one Of
those new practices which has come into
vogue among enlightened farmers within the
last ten years. and if u had been generally
adopted the past dry season. would have been
millions of dollars in the pockets of the hus-
bandmeD of the country, saved thousands of
poor and almost worthless cattle from the
butchers SHAMELESS and other thousands from
what is akin to prolonged starvation.
Every farmer ought invariably to SOW one
acre of Indian corn for fodder, for every ten
head Of animals which he keeps. In case Of a
drought then, lie will obtain food enough from
this source alone to one-third winter his stock
which would have the effect of lessening the
price of hay, and enable him to retain or cell
his surplus stock to greater advantage. Amer
lean Summers are often dry, very dry. I'm

pends entirely upon grass for his stock; for a
dry season cuts of from ons-third to two.
thirds Of his crop. But with Indian corn il
has not the same effect. Plpw deep, manure
WELL and let the corn get one months start
and it will take pretty good care of itself after
that, through the season, wet or dry.

A LlquID GLUE.-A strong liquid glue
that will keep for years without changing
may be made by placingin a glazed vessel a
quart of water and about 3lbs. of hard glue
This is to be melted over gentle fire in a
glue pot and stirred up occasionally. When
all the glue is melted. drop in gradually a
small quantity of nitricacid, when eferescence
will take place. The vessel is then TO be Ia
ken off the fire and allowed to cool. Liquid
glue made in this manner has been kept for
more thau two years in an uncorked bottle
without any change. Ii will be useful for
many trades, where strong glue is required
without the trouble of melring-Er.
