method Of treating cider: In gathering
apples avoid getting in leaves or rotten
apples, and before making, thOToughly
wash the vat, press, receiving tub, &c.
Have clean barrels, 6ll them with cider
as soou as it runs FROM the press, avoid
ing much exposure to air Place the bar
rels ia q position to draw from, and let
stand Until 1t settles, say "a hours.
Make q strong birthstone match by dip
ping a piece Of cloth 2 inches wide, and /
Inoh long. In melted sulphur. This is to
be fastened to a piece Of wire about B feet
long having a small hook on the end.
Set the sulpher on are, put it ia the
empty barrell half way down, raising IL
up gradually till the match burns out,
then draw off the clear cider aud put It
In with the smoke. Bung itup tight and
keen It in a cool place. When treated Ia
this way it has always kept sweet with as,
without any sharp or unpleasant taste.

coNrAGloU8NEss OF THE CATTLE DISEASE

The English Consul General at War
saw has forwarded in an official dispatch
the general symptoms of the rinderpest,
drawn up by Professor Soifman, Of the
Veterinary College at that city, In which
the following points are elucidated That
''the rinderpest, was at first considered
to be confined to cattle, but has however,
now been found in sheep, hitherto not
with the same virulenee that it has
been invariably introduced into Poland
by contagion;" that THE contagious quail
tiles of the disease exceed those Of any
known disease of man or beast, and for
this reason when once prOpagated, it is
extremely difficult to arrest its progress,
that 'it is conveyed not only by infected
cattle. but by those apparently sound, by
pigs, poultry. hides, manure cones, offal,
straw buildings and clothes of herdsmen
and other" so that the neighboring States
employ the most yigilant and jealous
watchfalness to prevent It's Introduction.

GOOD LUCK.

Some young men talk about good luck.
Good luck is to get up at six o'clock in
the morning good luck, if you have only
a shilling a week, is to live upon eleven
pence and save a penny good luck is to
trouble your head with your own business
and let your neighbor's alone good luck
is TO fulfil the commandments, and to do
unto other people as you wish them to do
unto you. They must not only work, but
wait. They must plod and persevere.-
Pence must be taken care of. because they
are the seeds of guineas. To get on il
the world they must take care of home
sweep their own door-ways clean, try tc
help other people, avoid temptation, and
have faith and trust in God.

AGRICULrURAL
THE oATrLE DISEASE.


The Toronto Canada Leader Saws. At
length there IS good reason to believe
medical science has discovered the ma
ture of the disease in cattle which has
produced such disastrous effects In Eng
land and Scotland. The proof is almost
conclusive that IT, not the variola. or
smallpox, that affects the human subject,
It Is analogous to it. The reason why
this discovery has not been made before,
Is, that in cattle the thickness of the hide
prevents the eruptIOns from appearing
externally, as Ia man and as the virus
could not be thrown of the animal lnva-
riably died. The nature of the disease
being known, recourse was had at once to
vaccination. The result has been most
satisfactory. The several numbers Of the
London Times brought by the last mails
have scores of letters abtesting the ethca-
cy Of vaccine as a curative agent. The
true pOX is obtained from a child direct.
The lymph taken from COW to COW can
not be depended upon it will produce a
cutaneous effect, but no constitutional
good. One medical man in advising as
to the mode of vaccination, DC, writes
THE skin should not be merely pune
tured, it should be scored about half an
inch long, deep enough to draw blood, but
not IN any quantity. The penknlte or
lancet should Just reach blood, not draw
it. The inside of the ears, where there
is little hair, under the tail, and the in
side of the thighs, are recommended as
favorable places The penkniie or lancet
making the score should be charged with
lymph before making it. and again dipped
and passed through the cut" Thus, at
last, something definite has been reached;
so that, should the disease reach this
counhy-of which there appears no great
danger we shall be better prepared for
it than have been the people Of England
and Scotland for the past eight or nine
months, ever since the disease lrst made
its appearance in tho mother country.

WIFE.

There is 40 combination Of letters in
the English language which excites more
pleasing and interesting associat tions in
the mind of man than the word Wife It
presents to the minds eye a cheerful COM
panion, disinterested adviser, nurse in
sickness, a comforter in misfortune, and
an ever affectionate companion. It con-
iures up the image of a lovely woman who
chearfully undertakes to contribute to
your happiness, to partake with you the
cup of veal or woe, which destiny may
offer. The word wife is synonymous with
the greatest blessing, and we pity the un-
fortunate wight who is compelled by fate S
severe decree to trudge along through
life's dull pilgrimage without one.

his finger into the jar, and thrust them in

glanced angrily at the grinning walters,
and remarked 'I'l give a dollar to know

MY PHILOSOPHY.

Bright things can never die,
E'n theagh they fade
Beauty and minstrslsy
Dsafhless were made.
What though the summer day
Passes at eve away
Doth not the mo0a's sofl ray
solaoe the nights
Bright things can never die,
Saith my philosophy
Phmbus, while passing by,
Leaves rs the light.
Kind words can never die,
Cherished and blssf
Coz knows how deep they lie
Stored in the breast Z
Like ehildhood's simple rhyEes
said Ger a thousand times,
Az, in all years and climes,
Distant AID near.
Kind words can never die,
saith my philosophy
Deep in the soul they lie;
God knows how dear
Childhood can never die;
Wrecks OF the past
Float DER The memory
Zen to the last.
Many g happy thing,
Many daisied spring,
Float, on Times ceasless wing,
Far, far away.
Childhood can never die
Saith my philosophy
Wrecks on our infancy
Live on for aye.
Sweet fanoies never die
They leave behind
Some fairy legacy
Stored in the mind,
some happy thought or dream,
Pure as the days earliest beam
Kissing the gentle stream
In the lone glade.
Yea, though these things pass by,
Saith ny philosophy,
Bright things can never die,
Zen though they fade.
