The Corn Cob and the Husk or Bran Of
Wheat

The high prices of grain are teaching
useful lessons of economy. Never before
has there been such demand for the valua-
ole machines made for grinding the corn
cob with the grain: We receive constant
assurances of the value of the food thus
prepared, and have no doubt the use Of
these machines will become so general AS to
effect an immense saving of food. All the
facts connected with the cousumptlri of ,Lo
corn cob, Indicate ;'n intrinsic valiic Entirely
independent Of the preparation 10y the ina
cline.
We wish to call attention to another ar
ticlc, which is estimated far below its real
value. One which more concerns consu-
mers generally than the farmer, but which
1t becomes every intellg Er,ncr TO under
Stand-wc mean the hash. or bron of wheat:
Prof Johnston in his Chemistry Of Common
Life, has the following:
The bran or lusk Of wheat which is
separated from the fine -four in tie mill,
and Is often condemned to lumber uses, is
somewhat more nutritious than either tho
grain as a whole, or the wl,i,er part Of the
Hour. The nutritive quality Of any variety
| OF grain, depends very much upon the pro-
portion of gluten it contains; and the pro-
portion of this in the whole grain, the bran
and the line flour respectively, of the same
sample OF wheat is very nearly as follows:
Wh",e bran ("utcr and inner skin) IA 70 IS per ct.
h'e grain. ~ per Ct
"e ii'uI. 10 ri.
"lhe whole meal obtained by simply grim
ding the grain, is equally nutritious with
the grain itself 1'y sitting ont Tire bran,
we render the meal less nutritious, weight
for wciy yht, and when we consider that the
bran is rarely less, and is sometimes more
than one fourth of the whole weight Of the
grain, we must see that the total separation
OF The co7erihg Of the grain, causes much
waste Of wholesome human food. Bread
made from the whole meal is therefore
more nutritious; and as many persons find
1t also a more salutary food than white
bread, it ought to tc more generally pre-.
ferred and used
"Thc gluten of the hnsll resides Chiefly
IN the inner covering Of the grain. Hence
the outer covering may he remoYed,' wi,l.-
out sensible loss of nuri.nen., Ie=.=::;ss TIE.
remainder both more rntrjija, ,.a :.
So -:'d a'sO more digesfIpfs'
than when the tliin outer covering is left
upon the corn. -, ,.,r ~. a.
An ingenious American instrument has
been patented, 10y which the removal of the
outer covering is said to he completely ef.
fected without injury to tire bulk of the
grain"

The Unguarded Moment

Yes. my lips tonight have spoken
Words said they should not speak !;
And | would could recall them
Would I had not been so weak.
Oh! that one ungunrded mornentl
Were it mine to live again,
All the strength of it's temptation
Would appeal to me in vain.
True. my lips have only uttered
What is ever in my heart;
am happy when beside him
Wretched when we are apart;
Though l listen to his praises
Always longer than should,
Yet my heart can mover hear them
Half 80 open us it would.
And I would not, could not, pain him,
Would not for the world offend:
would have him know like him
AS brother, MS friend;
But meant to keep one secret
In my bosom always hid,
For l never meant to tell him
That loved him-but did.

The Price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance"


Mode Of Capturing the Hyend.-" The
Rev. N. Davis. in his Evening in My Tent
gives the following account of the peculiar
mode Of Capturing the lyena: This ANIMAL
it appears, has two DOORS according to the
Arab phraseology, to its abode, on account
of its being so narrow that it cannot turn
about in it. BY one it enters, and by the
other it goes forth. The Arabs, on observ-
ing one of those animals, watch the hole
by which it enters, and, being prepared
with strong rope net, they proceed 10
place it carefully over the opposite hole.
whilst one of their Paternity, skilled in the
profession, and prepared will, rope, works
his way into the door by which the hyena
has entered. AS he nears the animal, he
charms it, according to my informant,
saying, come my dear little creature,
will lead You to places where many carcases
are prepared for you; plenty of food waits
you. Let me fastcn this rope to your
beautiful leg, and stand quiet whilst do
So This sentence, or something very
similar to it, is repeated till the operation
is ettectualy performed, when the daring
son of Sahara begins to gore the brute
with astil|e;to, or some such weapon, till
he is forced to run into the net prepared
for him, when lie is either ut once klIe,l,
or carried off alive. But when it happens
that the men in charge Of The net commit
some blundcr, through which the hyena is
enabled to struggle and rc-entcr his abode,
the 'charmcr,' in spite Of his charming, falls
a victim to his savage rage, and frequently
his companions can scarcely contrivc to get
clear without feeling something of its ef-
feet"

Il Hint to the Lodics.-The following
paragraph, which we cut from an exchange,
is local i'll its application
Among all the accomplishments" which
our young ladies are expected to acquire, it
is to bc regretted that the art conversation
is not included. No grace of person or
manners can compensate Cor lack of this.
In youth the convcrsaticn Of our women is
apt to he trlling and insipid, and in middle
aye is too often confined to complaints of
health and the scandal of the day. Lively
conversation, uron instructive and cleyatino
topics. is but little practitcl, but whenever
1t Is found, it gives Il charm to the society
OF females which nothing else can. 1t tri-
umphs over deformities and old age, and
makes ugliness itself agreeable. Curran
Speaking Of Madame de Slacl, who was bv
no means lIadsomc, but splendid conver-
sationalist, said that "shc had the power of
talking herself into beauty Ladies
should think of this. Beauty lies in
other things than fine features and cos
metics."

Uom the Modest Mun acas Mistoken.-

following:
In It neiyhboring city, at Thackeray's
lecture, few evenings since, young gen.
tlcman, the modest man Of lis sex. and no
'o>s PoIHe tnan modest, was sitting In 4
pew rather remote from the light. A
pretty lady sat next to him. Looking on
the floor during the lecture, he espicd what
he thought WAS the lady's handkerchief,
the lace trimmed edge just visible from
under her dress. Turning to his pew mate
he gallantly whispered, you've dropped
your handkerchief, madame!' and before
she could reply, he proceeded to pick it up.
Horror he had seized the edge Of her
pct--Ski,t, and did not discover his mis-
take until the top of gaiter boot stared him
in the face, and the faint sound of laugh
just nipped in the lud by the application
Of real handkerchief warned him of his
mistake.
Moral.-Oon't attempt to pick up any
thing with lace to it before you know what
it is"
