NOBLE BoY.--A boy was once tempt
ed by some of his companions to
pluck ripe cherries from tree which
his father had forbidden him to touch.
"You need not be afraid. said one
Of his companions; 'for if your faith
er should find out that you had them,
he is so kind that be would not hurt
you.''
''That is the very reason" replied
the boy, "why | would not touch
them. II is true, my father would
not hurt me, yet my disobedience |
know would hurt my father, and that
would be worse to me than anything
else
A boy who grows up with such
principles, will be man in the best
sense Of the word. 1t betrays a re-
gard for rectitude that would render
him trust worthy under every trial

EBoNY.-There is fine touch of
ebony humor in the reply once made
in our hearing by an old negro wood
sawyer in New York--a member of
the Church of Colored Messiah in
that city, where he was born and
brought up--to a stranger who in
quired of him if he knew where st.
Paul's Church was. "Does | know
where st. Paul's Church is? Well, I
jis wish / had as many half dollars as
| know where st. Paul's Church is!
1t would puzzle an aritbmetician to
determine the precise extent of Cuff
fees fortune in the event Of fnl6lment
Of his wish.

Management Of Young Stock.

The thought this evening struck
me that would give you my ideas
on the management of young stock,
commencing when we begin to fod-
der in the fall. | would say if you
do not stable your young stock, Gas
few 10 our section do,) prepare beds
covered with slabs, if nothing else, to
break off the cold winds and hard
storms. Do not at first begin to feed
straw and coarse fodder; feed as
good as you have, and when very
cold weather comes, feed your coarse
fodder once or twice day. BY this
process your stock will be kept in
good heart the foreesrt of the win
ter, which is the very worst time in
the year for them to get thin. II
you commence about the 10th OF
February to feed, say one quart OF
grain per head each day, there will
be 20 money lost, for your stock will
come out 10 thriving condition in
the spring, and when you see them
ranging the field the first day Of
June, with their old coats entirely
off and their new ones glisteniDg
like a new Mexican dollar, you will
feel yourself three-fold paid for the
few shillings' worth of grain they
have consumed.

RELIEVING CHoKEp CATTLE wi

RELIEVING Clicked CATTLE will
give you a simple, yet very certain
mode of getting potato or apple
out Of a creatures throat. People
frequently resort to harsh remedies,
and sometimes lose valuable COW

he wind from the stomach throws
