well furnishes us with the following. which
he says is cure for the stifle: Take equal
parts of strong brine, brandy and soft soap,
mix well, and apply by rubbing with the
hand for the space of at least one hour. = Do
not be afraid of bearing on too hard, or
rubbing too much for little elbow grease
added to the above mixture adds to its vir-
tue. Il requires two persons to apply the
mixture, in order that one may relieve the
other during the process of rubbing. One
cannot do justice to the cause. The above
directions, if strictly followed, will cure the
worst cases of sti1e in twelve hours. if ia
ken when first stifled. In cases of long
standing it will require longer time to cure.
But by the constant application of the above
medicine (say once a day. cure can be
effected. .

covers the stifie joint, and nything that

GRAPES FROM CUTTINGs.-Editors Coun
try Gentleman: [ send you the following
remarks on the propagation of grapevines
from cuttings, which may be done with very
little trouble:
Have box two feet high, and about 81
feet wide,-the length as you require-fll
half full of we'll pulVerized soil; prepare
the cuttings with three eyes; cut smooth
below the bottom one !; plant them In al
slanting position, with the last bud just
above the soil take sixpenny white cotton
cloth, and nail tightly over che box give
warm soft water freely every evening place
the box in a sunny nook, and in few weeks
your box will be filed with grapevines
ready for potting or planting in borders.
THE DAwN OF LovE.-If a grape vine be
planted in the neighborhood of we'll, its
roots running silently under ground, wreath
themselves in network around the cold, /
clear waters, and the vines putting on out
ward greenness and unwonted clusters aud
fruit is all that tells where every root and
fibre of its being has been silently stealing.
So those loves are most fatal, most absorb |
ing, in which, with unheeding quietness. |
every thought and fiber of our life twines
gradually around some human soul, to us
the unsuspecting wellspring of our being.
Fearful it is, because SO often the vine must
be uprooled and all its fbres wrenched away;
tut till the hour of discovery comes, how is
it transfgured by new and beautiful life
There is nothing in life more beautiful than
the trance-hke, quiet dawn which preeedes |
the rising of love in the soul. When the
whole being is pervaded imperceptibly and
TRANQUILITY by another being. and we are
happy, we know not and ask not why, the |
soul is then receiving all and asking moth
ing. At later day she becomes self CON
scious, aud then come craving exactions. |
endless questions-the whole world of the |
material comes in with its hard counsels |
and consultations; aud the beautiful trance |
fades forever. iaa
