DoN'T LIKE My BUIsNEss.-There is no
greater taliacy in the world than that en-
tcrtaincd by many young men that some
pursuits in life can be found wholly suited
to their tastes, whims, and tanCiCs. This
philc sophcr's stone can never be discovered;
and every one who makes his life search
for it will be ruined. Much truth Is con-
tanned in the Irishman's remark-"it is
never easy to work hard Let, therefore,
the fact be always remembered by the young
that no lite-wo:k can be found entirely
agreeable to man. Success always lies at
the top OF hull. If we could reach it. We
can only do so by hard, pcrscycrng effort,
while beset with difficulties of every kind.
If you think you made a mistake in chOos
ing the pursuit or profession you did, do
not make another by leaving It. Spend all
your energies in working and ciinging to it,
as you would do the litebOat that sustained
you in the midst OF the ocean. II you leave
it, it is almost certain that you will go
down.

ground that they are not considered loyal

PoULTICEs-A to inflammation, sores,
cuts, wounds 10y rusty nails etc, the great
remedy is Warmth and moisture, because
these promotes evaporation and cooling
whatever kind of poul,ice is applied, that is
best which keeps moist the longest, and is
in its nature mild; hence, cold, light, iwhea-
ten bread, soaked in sweet milk, Is one OF
the very best known. There is no specific
virtue in the ropuSiyc remedy of the zen
trails of live chicken" of scraped potatoes,
turnps, bects, carrots, or any other scrap
ings: the virtue consists in the mild
moisture of the application, Hence the
memory need not be burlened by the rccol-
lection of particular kinds of poulticcs, but
only with the principal that that poultice is
best which Keeps moist longest without

progressing. From the statistics present
ed in the Scientific american. II will be
seen that should the loss of horses and
mules continue in the same ratio for any
considerable period longer, either the Gov
ernment will be compelled to abandon
portion of its cavalry force and lessen the
number Of its artillery and wagon trains,
or farmers will be compelled to give up
their horses for these purposes. It says:
during the year ending June 80. 1858.
there were purchased 1882 horses and
S6,254 mules, and there were captured
7.788 horses and 6,9l6 mules, which ed-
ded to those on hand at the commence
ment of the year, made the number 1885,
457 horses and ll0.068 mules. There
were condemned, sold died, or lost by cap.
ture during the year, 57,676 horses and
l7,l70 mules. More than one horse out
of every four was thus hoTI de combat,
while nearly one mule in every seven was
used-up beast. Yet Sl6,63l 50 was
paid for veterinary surgeons, and 439,-
1872 80 for medicines for horses and mules.
The unprecedented destruction Of horses
aud mules will have somehow to be ar
rested, or it will become impossible to re-
mount our cavalry or wagon trains.
