whohave seen it to be 'as lively as ctickef.' The

Within 100 miles Of Cincinnati were travel-

was log house and building that was intended
for barn. The place was owned by Tom Huston
with whom made short call, and who re-

smart His barn is faithfully represented in the
above sketch.
We call Tom Huston farmer because he was
mot any thing else. He had DO other calling,
occupation, profsssoo; and yet perhaps the read
er will not be exactly pleased when we call him a
farmer. lie had quarter section, or l60 acres of
land: or of what had been land the soil was orig

father knew it. The old gentleman, in his day,
believed it good. that it never wonld be
worse, and Tom believed in all the principles OF his

| Consequently, the pile of manure, which you
at the left of the barn, opposite The stable door,
covered with weeds and bnrdocks, has never been
disturbed to this day-it is older than Tom is.
That soil, which in The early days was SO rich
SO black. has been plowed and scratched until it i:
as pa'e,and well nigh as hard aud barren br.c4

The barn is not the only original thing about
this farm. We found the owner TO be a goot

WORTH KNowING.-Some of the papers, Of
late, have had magraph recommend a the use of
wheat flour in the case of scalds Or burns. A gen.
tleman at Dayton saw it, and the other day, as he
writes the Elnpire, tested it to his satfacton.
He says:
"While at the supper table, little child, which
was seated in its mothers lap, suddenly grasped
hold Of cup full of hot tea, severely scalding its
left hand and arm. | Immediately brought pan
of flour plunged the arm into it covering en-
tirely the parts scalded with the flour. The effect
was truly remarkable the pain was gone instantly.
l then bandaged the arm loosely, applying plenty
of flour next to the skin, and on the following
morning there was not the least sign that the arm
had been scalded; neither did the child suffer the
least pain after the application of the -four
Reader, do you bear this little fact in mind, if
similar occasion offers.
