LOVING AND PATIENT.

"A faithful wife, tender mother, a
true friend, tbe life OF our departed sis
ter was beautiful She had trials. pains,
saffering-tbe common lot of all; but
there was this difference between our
sister and others-in her trials. pain, and
sufferings, she was always loving and
patient And with these words the
minister closed his eulogy. His voice
was earnest and there was low lremor
of fee ling in It's tones. He had known
this faithful wife, this true friend we'll,
and therefore he had uttered no more
common places, as he stood uncovered.
b. the grave around which were gath
cred the weeping meusaers.
Loving and patient" said one to
another, as they walked slowly amid
the flower covered iombstones, on their
way out of the cemetery, '.Yes, she
was all that-few SO loving and few SO
patient"
''And few had nDre need of patience -
was replied. They speak of home
martyrs sometimes. | think she was
one. The loving heart asks for love in
return, and if il receives not this food to
nourish its life in. sufficient measure, it
droops. wastes, and dies. So did our
precious friend.
''You think so ?''
Il sm sure of it,"
..Mr. Carson was surely not an unkind
man."
He did not treat her with the brutal
ity of an ignorant French peasant, but,
for all that. he is none the less guilty of
having diminished by years, the period
OF her earthly existence:
"Then It was an uncongenial mar
risge." said the other.
"a mild way of speaking the truth, /"
answered the friend. "Yes, it was,
think, wholly uncongenial for her. He
was probably, as well satisfied with her
as be could have been with any other
woman. She ministered 10 his selfish
pleasures, and was as We have Just heard
loving and patient. Il was all right, so
far as his enJoyments were concerned,
as for her life, think it was one long
martrydom of the heart. But it is over
now, and she sleeps we'll"
And so they talked. as they went out
from the place OF graves.
Loving and patient The bereaved
husband carries the words home with
him They had fallen upon his heart
with new meaning as applied to his
wife, and gave 10 his mind certain new
perception Of her characters "a true friend

and they were sounding still in bis ears.
How singularly elevated had become,
all at once Mr.. Carson's ideas of his
wife. Her character stood out with
new. disiiDctness. "She had trial, pain,

mama that. our fathers gathered in
the desert no doubt was good but does
net that which is equally good fall
from today? Every truth, Ike every
plant, has its several stages of de-

loveliest of all when it is full in the ear,
when it is ready to fulfil the great func-

HINTS FOR THE SEASON.

|. Keep your cattle well fed, oxen
especially, who are now working hard.
Pasture-feed is still scant, and it is better
to let it grow than be nipped of before it
has got fair start. Take care and do
not let your cattle change suddenly from
dry TO green feed. 30 a@"
III. Sow spring grain as soon as the
ground is in order. Oats, if put in early,
will grow better, and produce heavier
kernel and crop. Too much sun and
heaI stint the growth and shriyeI the
grain. s 4-i-7 Ee .zsF aal
Ill. See that your meadows are in
good order-that fences are in repair,
and cattle kept out. If there are any
bare spots, sow grass seed upon ihem.-
Destroy thistles, muIleins, and other
weeds, wherever they are to be seen.
1t may be done easily. 7ii rai r0s
Nv. Plant early potatoes in good dry
soil; without manure. A newly pIowed
meadow is often excellent. Use plaster
IN the hills or rows. The rot is not apt
TO attack potatoes so treated. si1i-
V. Prepare ground for sowing root
GRIPS, by manuring thoroughly, and
PlOwing deeply. Carrots and all long
iaPering roofs require a very deep soil,
and in proportion TO its depth and rich
ness will the roots be long and large
They cannot penetrate hard pan sub
soil. Stony ground is also objectionable
for such crop, as the roots come in nom
tact with the stones and become crooked,
stinted and branch into fingers and toes.
vi. Ewes viii now be dropping lambs.
See that they are well sheltered and fed,
giving them bran and oats, until grass
comes. If proper attention is paid 10
them now, few will be lost. Sows that
have pigs should be fed with a little ami
NAL food occasionally, as it will have
tendency 10 hinder them from eating
their young. Attend to mares that are
with foal; lei them have nice roomy
stables, and ifpossible, away from horses
and other animals that might injure them
by kicking.or or otherwise. Quiet and res,
are desirable 10 all animals with young,
and have an excellent effect upon the
progeny.
VII. Timothy and clover may now be
sown with spring grain. Lucerns may
also be sown soon. Take every means
TO increase the amount of the products of
your meadows. The usual rule is, to
let them take care of themselves. In
Europe t1ey are often fertilized with
lquid manure, with the best results. All,
or nearly all of our liquid manure is al
lowed TO go 10 waste. = $3.50
VIII. II you raise your own seeds
select the best specimens 10 do ii from.-
The onions should be the largest and
finest; carrots, parsuips, beeis, &C., the
same; cabbage seed should not be raised
from stock with the head cut of, or from
one whose head was utterly unfit for
cooking. When seeds are raised from
poor specimens, we need not wonder that
the progeny are worthless.-O Farmer.

Ague Cure,

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF .q~E
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and AKue}
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Damh
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class Of diseases Origi-.
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic COMMITTEES.
No one remedy is louder called for by thu
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded ON proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity. a.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. PrepentiOp is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run i'll violent attacks Of
this baleful distemper. This "CURE" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGUE
from the system and preveats the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first an.
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only tho best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
n dollar brings it within the rchch Of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AGuE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection:
1t is hoped this price will place it Within ths
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Internittcnts is, that it contains
no Quinine Or mineral, consequently it pro-
duccs no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon tlpy constitution. Those cured
by it arc left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease. .
. Fever and Agucis not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothachc, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Dcrangcment of the Stomach,
all Of which, when originating in this cause,
put OH the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This CURE" cXpcls the poison frem
the blood and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fcction, that will be cxcrctcd from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripcn into disease. Hence it is even moro
valuable for protection than cure. land few will
ever suffer from IntcImittents, if they avail
themselves Of the protection this remedy af-
tords.
