TRUE WIFE.

Sho is no true wife who s~ustains rot
her husband in the day of calamity
who is rot when the worlds great frown
makes the heart chill with anguish, his
guardian angel, growing more beautiful
as misfortunes crowd along his path.
Then is the time for the trial of her
gentleness, this is the time fer testing
whether the sweetness of her temper
beams only with q ~trancient light, or
like the steady glory of the morning
star, shines just as brightly under the
clouds. Has she then smiles just as
charming? Does she say, affection
cannot touch our purity, and should not
quench our love ?" Does she try by
happy little inventions to lift from his
sensitive spirit the burden of thought ?
There are wives-nay, beings, who,
when dark hours come, fall to repining
and upbraiding-thus adding to outside
anxiety, the narrowing scene of demes-
tic strife-as if all the blame in the
world would make one hair white or
black, or change the decree gone immu-
tabIy forth. Such know not hat our
da rkuess is heavens light; our tri-
ala Dut steps in our golden lad
der, by which if We rightly ascend, we
at least gain that eternal light, and
bathe forever in its f~ullness and beauty.
"Ia that all?v and the gentle face of
the wife beamed with joy. Her hus-
band had been on the verge of distrac-
tion-aE his earthly possessions were
gone, anil he feared the result of her
knowledge, she had been so tenderly
cared for, all her life. But" says r.
wings beautiful story, "a friend advised
him not to give sleep to his eyes, nor
slumber 10 his eyelids until he had I'M
folded to her a II his hapless case.
+" And that was her answer with the
smile of an angels that all 1
feared by your sadness it was worse.
Let those beautiful things be taken
all this splendor, let it go, l care not
for i'll only car for my husbands
love and confidence. You shall forget
in my affection, that you were in pros
perity-only still love me, and 1 will
aid you to bear these little reyerses
with cheerfulness."
Still love herl-a man must rever-
snce, aye liken her to the very angels,
for such a woman is a living revelation
of heaven.

cles, and consider the promulga-
ton of tracts, and the patronage of mis-
sionary meetings, equivalent to sitting
at the feet of Jesus, clothed in the right
mind that is never wanting in true hu-
mility. They take no ~ungenerous ad-
vantage of simplicity or timidityi they
stand not aloof from detraction-they
would not willingly sully the pure,
bright current of their own thoughts.
They may startle many around them by
an honest outburst of indignation but
they will not harbor malice, or seek to
perpetrate the evil they have denounced.
Above all, the romantic are strong in
religious faith for the ideas of perfec-
ton and benefcence, and beauty, and
goodness, and truth, are most powerful
ly developed in them. Let no sceptic
come near them, with his cold philoso-
ply and cherries creed, hat consigns
t'dust to dust" even while the living
flesh might alone and well confute him
by the power of its uneonquerable in
stincts. Those who have once tasted of
the water of life at the fountain head,
are not to be dismayed by the reports of
its af~ter-failing course, amid the miry
and darkened ways of an imperfect and
faithlcss world.
OF this class were the women who in
all ages and countries have greatly sig
nalized themselves in true womanly
ways, bearing witness before, time past
and to come, hat true nobility of soul,
steadfastness of purpose, heroic courage
and high faith, are naturally allied to
the earnest truth and the d~eep-rooted
affections out of which they spring spon-
~taneously, amid circumstances requiring
the grandest developments of individu-
al power. Thousands of these, the
bright spirited and warm-hearted, are in
our midst and surely one result of the
wider spreading of intelligence viii be
the sensible manifestation of their ginial
influence upon social life-an influence
quiet and unobtrusive, yet fels and ac-
knowledged everywhere, and resulting
in increased gladness, in increased puri-
ty, a perceptible extension of the peace
and goodwill that must herald in the
dawn of a brighter day.

The Songs of Other Years,

Oh, lady, touch that chord again,
And sing againt that simple lay
1t was an old, familiar strain.
OF long g and far away
1 heard It in the Highland North
The land of songs hat summon tears,
And still it calls old feelings forth:
love the songs of other years.
They're like the mothers holy hymn,
Whose blessed tones can ne'er depart;
Though ears be deafand eyes be dim,
And worldly ways have scared the heart.
They're like the first sweet smiles of love,
That still the gray haired beauty wears;
So changelessly our hearts they move,
The pleasant songs of other years.
The mirth Of old may make US sad,
But may itnever make us grieve
The day most gloriously glad
Is closed. in tears by dewy re
But still the eve is sweet as day.
And grander still its name appears,
And joys that long have passed away,
Come back in songs of other years.

HOW no FEEp YOUNG HoRsEs.

The adult horse does not require SO
much of the fesh-making principle ss
the yoa.ag and groaeing animal, but he
eeemes to require a greater variety
The adult merely requires enough to re-
place the waste-the wear and tear ofhis
system. If he obtains more than this,
the surplus is either excreted from the
BODY, or else stored up within the same
in the form of fat and everybody
knows that a fat horse, or a fat man,
are not best adapted for a race, no
hard labor ; but of all others Except
those in a state of debility,) they are
most subject to acute disease. With
the young and growing animal the case
is different. Here we require bone, mas
Gle and nerve. Oates, corn and pollard
furnish the m The colt obtains from
its mothers milk all the elements of its
own organization in a concentrated form
all hat seems necessary for develop
ing bodily proportions and hereditary
traits-therefore, when weaned, the
colt must be furnished with the same
equivalents in the form of fodder /;
ground oats, wheat bran and meal.
1t is the young and growing animal
that requires u greatest attention. If
our readers desire to raise colts that
shall remunerate them for the trouble
and expense incurred, they must feed
the same, during their minority, with a
liberal hand. Any neglect at this Pc
riod can never be made up in after life
the subject will always remain ank and
lean-living monuments of their mas
ter's folly, or ignorance, as the case may
be. In addition to She food required
for the colts growth, we must also furn-
ish enough to supply the waste incurred
by expenditure of muscular power.
We all know that the young are very
active and playful. Every muscular
movement involves an expenditure of
vital force, and thus exhausts the sys-
tenn therefore in view of developing
their full proportions, and promoting
the integrity ofthe living mechanism,
they must have nutritious food and plen-
ty of it. They are not, however. to have
a large quantity at a time, but little and
often their stomach is small, not larger
than that of a man. Should it be over
distended with coarse and innutritious
food, the organs of respiration and circu-
lation become embarrassed, and the blood
loaded W irbon. They require food
often, because the digestive organs are
very active, and soon dispose of an or
binary meal then comes the sensation
of hunger, which every one knows is hard
to bear.-.4nserican Veterinary Jour.

THE HEALTH OF CATTLE.

The american Veterinarian contains
the following good advice towards pro-
noting the health in cattle. There is
a good deal in the following paragraphs
expressed in a few words
Mix, occasionally, M part of salt in
four, five or six parts of wood ashes, and
give the mixture to different kinds
stock, summer and winter. 1t promotes
their appetites, and tends to keep them.
IN a healthy condition. It is said to be
good for bots in horses, murrain in cat
tie. and rot in sheep.
Horse radish root is valuable for cat
tie. 1t creates an appetite and is good
for various diseases. Some give it to any
animal that is unwell. 1t is good for
oxen troubled with heat. If animals
will not eat it voluntarily, cut it up fine
and mix it with potatoes and meal.
Feed all animals regularly. They
not only look for their food at the usual
time, but the stomach indicates the want
at the stated period. Therefore, feed
morning, noon and evening, as near the
same time each day as possible.
Guard against the wide and injurious
extremes of satiating with excess and
starving with want. Food should be of
a suitable quality, and proportional to
the growth and fattening of animals, to
their production in young and milk,
and to their labor and exercise. Ami
mails that labor need far more food, and
that which is far more nutritious, than
those that are idle.
Guard all descriptions of stock against
cold and exposure, especially agai st
cold storms of rain, sleet and damp snow,
and against lying out on the cold ground
in cold nights, in the Spring and Fall .

APPLE PUDDING.-Sweet apples pre-.
pare and chop fine one part, milk two
parts, a little salt and spice or ginger
put in al iron vessel; while boileng stir
in fine Indian meal, then bake from one
to three hours.
To CURE a FELoN.-Take a lump OF
rock salt the size of a hickory nut, pull
%verize, add equal quantities of brown
sugar and bar soap, spirits Of t~urpentine
enough to make a salve, apply enough to
cover the swelling, and after an hour or
so make a second application.
ADDITION TO QU1Lr FRAMES
half inch bit make holes one in three
inches in the side pieces that are not to
be rolled, and a few in each end o fthose
that are rolled. Take four planks or
slabs 16 or IL inches wide, insert large
rods in the centre of each % or 80 inches
high, having a shoulder on the top to
hold the frame; the quilt is thus kept
steady, and rolling dono true and quick.
SCIENCE IN KiTcREN.-Prof Lie.
big, in a letter to Professor Silliman,
says The method of roasting is obvi-
ously the best to make flesh the most
nutritious. But it does not follow that
boiling is to be interdicted. If a piece
of meat be put into cold water, and this
heated to boiling, and boiled until it is
:" done ;" it will become harder, and
have less taste, than if thrown into wa
ter already boiling. In the FIRST case,
the matters grateful to the smell and
taste go into the extract, the soup in
the second, the albumen of the meat CO.
agulates from the surface inward, and
the interior with a layer which
is impenetrable to water.

WISNER'S

TT can be established by reliable persons who
i have used WIsNER's TUB, that it is the best
and most convenient machinery for
z
that was ever invented. This valuable inven-
ton has been in use nearly two years, and is
now extensively employed in nearly every
State in the Union. 1t is equally well adapted
to the washing of the largest as well as the
smallest fabrics. Among the leading estab-
lishments of the county where 1t is used, may
be mentioned the HOWARD AND BROAD

where it is generally employed.
j. R. SQUIRE, of Ashland, having purchas-
ed the right of Ashland County, is now pre-
pared to furnish TUBS on short notice.
Directions for Using the Tub.
Place half a dozen of shirts, or equal, in tbs
tub with the heated water and soap-wrist-
bands and collars, should be well soaped The
water should cover the follower bear no
weight On the follower, but turn it easily with
o seEfI-circuIar movement: rub the clothes
through two suds and the washing is done.
Among the many valuable testimonials that
have come to hand we subjoin q few
Opinions ofthe Press.
From the perfect simplicity, ease, and excel
lent manner with which by the aid of Wisner's
Washer. this most laborious though very nee
essary work is accomplished, we should pro-
nounce it far in advance of the old, if not of any
attempt ever invented for washing or cleansing
clothes-RocHEsTER GENEsKE FARMER.
~ new and useful Wash Tub, lately in
vented by the Rev. Joel Wisner, is now being

M ndations, therefore. from us to commend it
to general use. 1t speaks for itself-NoRwALK

so generally useful as this little continuance of
