How TO GET RID oT RArs.-For some
years l was considerably annoyed with
rats. / tried various " vermin poison"
traps, etc., with very little success, until
a thought of mode which we adopted
for destroying dogs that used to hunt our
rabbit-warren in the old country. So i
got quantity of broken bottles and win.
dow-Rlass, and with a hammer and snold
anvil, triturated it pretty fine q stone
would do to pound the glass on); I then
sifted the coarse part out, and mixeda
cupful of the fine with q cupful Of -four
and another of oatmeal, and, Scenting Il
with few drops of essence Of aniseed to
attract them, I placed it on boards in ths
cellar, etc. They ate it up so fast that one
of the family observed, that "instead OF
poisoning, it must be fattening 'them;"
but few days told different story. The
last mess served for them remains un-
touched yet, though put down last Fall,
and no appearance Of rat or mouse, living
or dead, since. Neither have we noticed
any smell, or blue-bottle (meat) flies, ~
there would have been had they died on
the premises. 1t was a happy riddance.
The mixture must be kept from children,
dogs, and other silly animals, as it would
kill them as well as rats.

SATISFIED WITH THE TBRMs.-A certain
good-natured old Vermont farmer pre-.
served his constant good nature, let Whist
would turn up. One day, while the
black tongue prevailed in that State, one
of his men came in bringing the news that
one of his red oxen was dead. "1s hes"
said the old man; "well, he always was
a breechy cuss. Take hia hide Of and
carry it down to Fletcher; it will bring
the cash." An hour or so afterwa1d, the
man came back with the news that line
back" and his mate were both dead.
" Are they" said the old man; "well. !
took them of B. to save bad debt
that never expected to get. Take the
hides down to Fletcher's; they will bring
the cash" After the lapse Of another
hour, the man came back to tell him that
the nigh brindle was dead. "Is he I"
said the old man swell, he was 9 very
old OK. Take off his hide and send i
down to Fletcher's; it is worth cash, and
will bring more than two Of the others"
Hereupon, his wife, who was piouS
soul, taking upon herself the Office Of
Eliphaz, reminded her husband yery
severely Of his sins, and asked him i be
was not aware that his loss was the judR.
ment of Heaven for his wickedness. "ls
it ?" said the old fellow; "well, il they
will take the judgment in cattle, it 10 the
easiest way can pay it."

The Foor OF HoRsE.-The humGn
hand has often been taken to illustrate
Divine wisdom-and very well. But
have you ever examined your horse's
foot: 1t is hardly less curious in its
way. Its parts are somewhat compli.
Gated, yet their design is simple and Oh
yious. The hoof is not, as it appears to
the careless eye, mere lump Of insenSi.
BILE bone fastened to the leg by Q joint.
1t is made up Of series Of thin layers, OF
leaves, of horn, about five hundred In
number, nicely fitted TO each other and
forming q lining to the foot itself. Then
there are as many more layers, belonging
to what is called the "coffin bone" and
fitted into this. These are elastic. Take
quire Of paper and insert the leaves.
one by one, into those of another quire.
and you will get some idea of the arrange.
ment of the layers. Now, the weight Of
the horse rests on Is many elastic springs
as there are layers in his four feet-about
1000; and this is contrived, not only for
the easy conveyance Of the horse's own
body, but whatever burdens may be laid
on him. Veterinary Journal.

MARYLAND EMANCIPATIoN.-The eman-

islature have issued an address to the
people, stimulating them to an energetic
support of the convention bill, and
warning them of the wiles of its oppo-
nents The popular vote is to be taken
on the 9th of April, and the constitu-
tional convention, if the people vote to
call one, is to assemble on the 9th of
the same month, The signers of the ad-
dress say that Maryland now has it in
its power to stand in few months
among the free States of the Union.--
They say also:
'We are in favor of emancipation, i'm
mediate, final unconditional, unfettered
by negro serfdom, unaccompanied by
any oppressive burdens on people,
whose dearest interests have been sacri-
feed whose blood has been shed, whose
fields have been laid waste in a war sell
fshly waged by armed traitors in the
interest and on behalf Of slavery. We
call on you to see to it that such eman-
cipation shall be the result of the Con-
vention." ........ .-.. . ..n .....-...
