PITURE FIRST.

The clock over the bar points to hall
past eleven-within thirty minutes OF
midnight. Being in a city, the clock
points to yet an early hour, but out by
the little forty by eighty foot farms, out
from the places Of idle resort, that clock
would point to very late hour Since
tea time, at table four men have beer
sitting. -Four mugs Of ale-tour gin
cocktais-f9ur cigars-four rum punch
es-four brandy smashes-four mint ju-
leps--four whisky skips-iour brandy
straights have been brought to that table
since the sun babe US good night Full
glasses TO the table-cmpty ones back !
The room has grown smoky, thick, and
foul. The hard chair, have become tired.
The lamp begin, to blush at the coarse
stories told, in which the holy name of
woman has been so often mixed. The
brain grows dnlI-a weary morning ap-
proaehes.

How LONG SHOULD Cows GO DRY
In answer TO this question, a cores
pendent OF the Ohio Farmer furnishes
the following sensible suggestions. AZ
ter saying that no rule could apply to all
cows alike, he adds 81 have found ;hat
cows inclined to take on fat could be
MIXED up to within two weeks Of calv-
ing, and have both COW and calf healthy
and plump; and cows that could not be
fattened when milking, require from four
to six weeks of rest from milk giving
previous to calving, otherwise the calf
was small and and not well formed, and
the following years supply of milk much
lessened."

CUTTING TIMBER Farmers cut their
timber in winter because they have spare
time. To ask them to cut it now. would
be scarcely listened to a moment, with so
much work crowding on every hand
But If you cannot cut it now, it would
be better to let it stand until another
year, We have now on our fences rails
that were split few years aso-those
cut late in the winter or spring have be-
come nearly worthless by decay those
cut at midsummer have dried thoroughly
and are hard and sound. We prefer
paying one half more to have rails and
other timber cut at midsummer.

timely use of some proper remedy.
DR. HALLS BALsAM strikes at the root of the
disease at once, and such is its speedy effect
that any one using it freely according 10 dl-
rections for twenty-l four or torty-elght hours,
and not entirely satisfied with its merits,
may return it and receive back their money,
The most distressing cough is frequently re-
lioved by single dose, and broken up in a
few hours time. The afflicted do not have
to take bottle after bottle before they tnd
whether this remedy will afford relief or not.
The public have been imposed upon by
remedies recommended by certificates which
have always originated from some unknown
source. We believe that a medicine possess
ing real merits will effect cures wherever 1t
is used, at home as well as abroad. This IS
no pareg1ric preparation, but one which II
used in season will save the lives OF thou
sands.
It has effected cures in numerous cases,
where the most skillful physicians in this
country and in Europe have been employed,
and have exercised their skill in vain. Cases
which they have pronounced mcm Nble, and
surrendered as hopeless beyond I doubt
leaving the patients without a single ray TO
enliven them in their gloom, have been cured
by DR.. Halls Balsam, and the "Tictltls Of
consumption" are now vigorous and s rong
as the most robust among u.s. And these
cases are not isolated ones they are NJ mer-
Gus, and can be pointed out in every com
muuitY where this most uuryaled remedy
has been tested.
BE slow, then, to believe the oG-rcpcated
story about the lungs being gone or rather
let no such apprehension induce yon to give
up. Act upon he principle that while there
is life there is hope, You can never Ike So low
that You may not trust, Humanity speaking,
