Never Get Angry.

It does no good. Some sins have seeming
compensation OF apology, aprssent gra'itcl'l n
of some scrt, but anger has none. \ man feels
no better for it. 1t is really torment, aud
when the storm OF passion has cleared, it leaves
one to see that he had been fool in the eyes
of others too. An angry man adds nothing to
the welfare of society. He may do some good,
but more hurt. Heated passions make lin
fre-brand and II is a wonder If Re does not
kindIe flames of discord on every hand. With
oat much sensibility, and often void Of reason,
he speaks like the piercing ofa sword, and his
tongue is an arrow shot out. He is a bad ele-
ment in any community, and his removal
would furnish occasion for day Of thankSgv-
ing. Since, then, anger is useless, needless,
disgraceful, without the least apology, and
found only 'n the bosom of fools, " why should
it be INDUCED in at all ?

Butter Making in Winter.

Some families are quite successful IN making
butter in the winter season. Mr.. Scott, of YER
mont believes that it may be made as profta-
ble when the cows are fed with the right kind
of hay as when they run in the pasture. But
there are SO many who think differently, who
"don't have no luck in the winter" that milk
enough to make many tons of butter is wasted
every winter. A correspondent of the Rural
American, whose wife has made butter every
winter for ten wears, and who has himself dono
all the churning in common churn, seldom
occupying more than 10 or 10 minutes in tho
operation condenses the secret of his success, 80
far as the management of the milk and cream
is concerned, into the following pithy senten-
ees:
Cows should be kept warm and clean, and
in addition to plenty of sweet, early-cut hay,
mich cows should be treated with warm slops
and bran mashes, varied by roots and meal
They should have plenty Of pure air and exer-
else. and be salted regularly once week. Tho
stables and COWS must be well cleaned before
milking. and the treatment Of the COWS beru!cd
by patience and gentleness. The milk, when
strained, should be brought to a scalding heat
and set in warm place, where it will not
freeze The cream should be taken off before
the milk thickens, and be kept in as cool
place as it can be without freezing. Cream
managed in this way will be very thick, and
when put in the churn needs dilutiDg, which
should be done by adding warm milk till, when
well mixed, the temperature Of the cream is
such that drop applied to the forehead will
feel neither cold nor warm.

Wisdom in Making Love.

We know that men naturally shrink from
the attempt to obtain companions who are their
superiors; but they will find that really intel
igent women, who possess the most desirable
qualities, are uniformly modest, and hold their
charms in modest estimation. Donot imagine
that any disappointment in love which takes
place before you are twenty-one years old will
be any material damage to You. The truth is,
that before man is twenty-five years old, he
does not know what he wants himself. The
more of a man you become, and the more man
illness you become capable of exhibiting in your
association with women, the better wife you
are able to obtain; and one years possession
of the heart and hand of really noble woman
is worth nine hundred and ninety-nine years
possession of sweet creature with two ideas
in her head and nothing new about either Of
them.

Midsummer Day Scene.

Smoking his pipe OF clay,
While his hale old wife, with busy care,
Was clearing the dinner away
A sweet little girl. with fine blue eyes,
On her grandlather's knee was catching Hes
The old man placed his hand on her head,
With a tear on his wrinkled face
He thought how often her mother, dead,
Had sa; long ago in that place.
A. the tear stole down from his hs.fshut eve,
Don't smoke" said the child; chow u MAKES

The house-dog slumberd upon The floor,
Where the sun, after noon, would steal;
The busy wife, by the open door.
Was turning the spinning -wheel;
And the old brass clock on the mantletres
Had plodded along to almost three!
Still the farmer sat in his easy chair,
While close 10 his heaving breast
The moisten'd brow and the head so fair
Ofhis dear grandchild were pressd.
His frosty locks mid her soft hair lay
Fast asleep were they both, on that summer Cay!

her daughter, more glorious than to be tho
wife of an honest, Independent, happy farmer,
in country like this? To be the wife of ono
who is looked up to by the neighbors as one
whose example may be safely followed-one
whose farm is noted far and near as model OF
neatness and perfection ofcultivation To bo
mistress of mansion of her own, that may be
the envy of every passer-by, because it is neat
and comfortable-a sweet and lovely home p
To be the angel that fits through the garden.

POETICAL.
SOMEBODY.

Somebody's eyes have grown DINNER,
Of in some quaint old home
1t noon, when the evening stars glimmer,
Watching for some one TO come:
Watching. while heart grows the sicker,
As day after day glides along,
Watching, while tears fall the thicker,
Choking the lullaby song.
Somebody. wandering over
Lands far away from his own,
Scents as of old, the sweet clover
That grew by the old door stone;
Longs 10 go back and to mingle,
As in the dim davs of yore,
With those round the old cottage ingle,
Those who, alas, are no more.
Somebody's prayers are ascending
Ever for dear ones away,
PRAYERS that His blessing attending
May keep them from going astray;
Prayers that float nearer and nearer
The throne of the Father above,
And reaching the ear of the Hearer,
Are answered in Infinite Love!
Somebody's life's work is ended
Patient they wait now to go;
Long have they faithfully wended
Toilsome paths here below;
Soon the reward they'll be reaping
That to the faithful is given
'CWell done, ,"-"Come up,"-and be keeping
Watch for somebody in heaven!
Somebody ever is weeping,
Rachel-like mourning her dead,
Stunning all comfort and keeping
Vieils while stars are o'erhead;
o! that such hearts, whose feeling
Shuts out the thoughts of THY VIII,
Gilaad's balm, with its healing, -,
Would come, and the wild throbbing still.
Somebody's heart has grown weary,
Weary of watching for aye,
The time when the night, now so dreary,
Shall end in an infinite day;
When life shall roll onward forever,
As peacefully solemn and grand
As rolls on Eternity's river,
That washes Eternity's strand!

Hints for Progressive Farmers.

Subsoil plowing furnishes strong evidence
of the value of deep plowing Should corn DO
planted in a subsoiled field, the corn viii DO
darker in color and increased in height, and az
a sequence the yield will be greater.
How absurd to attempt to cultivate moro
land than you can manage. 1t is time thrown
away. It is better to till twenty screS well
than one hundred in slovenly manner.
There are only two things worth looking at
in horse-action and soundness; for never
saw critter" that had good action and was
bad beast.
Make farmers of your boys, and you will
have the satisfaction Of seeing them honest, in
dependent and respectable members Of society.
If your hogs ere sick give them ears Of corn
FIRST dipped in tar and then rolled in sulphur.
In all composts intended for light sandy soils,
clay IS one of the most valuable ingredients
that can possibly be used.
Kingbirds that there is so much said about,
only eat the drones, or stingless bees. Hence
think that instead Of an injury to the beehive
they are a blessing, assisting the workers in
ridding themselves Of loafers that eat and labor
not.
When grasshoppers are 50 plenty as to mako
pastures poor, turkeys grow fat.
Onions finely chopped and mixed with In
dian meal and fed to fowls onceor twice week,
prevent the gapcs and many other diseases that
fowls are subject to.

ner of the room to conceal sundry pots and
kettles, and refused to come forth. Mr. Lord
lifted one corner of the curtain and peeped in,
quietly retreated, with stew-pan and feV
sharp words from Sally, advising him to mind
his own business.
Very soon the company began to gather, and
the room was well filed.
"Now Elder" cried the bridegroom, drive
ahead I want it done up nice. I'm able to
pay for the job. Do ye hear? Come, father
Burke, trot out your gal" But Sally refused
to be trotted. She would be married where
she was, or not at ALL We argued and coaxed,
but she was firm; and it was finally concluded
to let her have her own way.
Mr.. Morrison stooa-the happy couple join
ed hands through a rent in the coverlet, and
the ceremony proceeded. Just as Mr.. Morrison
was asking Lemuel wilt thou have this wo-
man. &C., down came the coverlet, enveloping
bridegroom and pastor, and filing the house
with dust. Dick had been up in the loft and
cut the strings that held it. Mr.. Morrison
crawled out looking decidedly sheepish, and
Sally was obliged to be married openly To
the momentous question, Lemuel responded,
"To be sure-what else did | come here for p
and Sally replied" Vas, if you must know p
"Salute your BRIDE" said Mr.. Morrison,
when all was over.
I'm ready to DO anything, Elder" said
Lemue, "but skin me if l know about that
air. Just show ne how, and III do it if it
kills me-"
My husband drew bacl, nervously, but Sal
ly advanced, threw her arms about his neck,
and gave him kiss that made the very win
dows clatter.
81 gum if don't do ditto" cried Lcmuel,
and hastily taking a huge bite from piece of
maple sugar, which he drew from his pocket,
he made dash at me, smashed my collar, broke
my watch-guard into a dozen pieces, tore my
hair down, and succeeded in planting kiss on
my nose, greatly to the delight of the company
Then he turned to my husband: Now,
Elder what's the damage? Don't be afraid to
speak,
"Whatever you please" said Mr.. Morrison.
Lcmuel produced piece of fur from his
pocket.
"There, Elder" said he, "there's a musk
rat skin; and out in the shed are two heads OF
cabbage, and you're welcome to the hull of it.
NV husband bowed his thanks, the young
people went to dancing; Mrs. Burke went tc
getting breakfast; and. at my earnest request,
Mr.. Morrison got our horse and we bade them
adieu.

Bite off Ny Ears
aGierl

At social party, wag found himself, in
the course of the evening, in conversation with
a nervous looking stranger. Pointing out to
him a man of an inquiring turn of mind, in
another portion of the room, he said:
"Do vou see that man there ? lie has
mania-a very unpleasant one, too. He is pos
sessed with the idea thathe must bite Of stran-
gers cars, and it has caused dreadful amount
of trouble. do not know whether he will
show any symptoms tonight, but, perceiving
YOU are a stranger, deemed it my duty to put
you on your guard Don't let him approach
very near you"
The expression of horror that spread over
the face of the nervous man, clearly proved
that he had heard the warning. a little later
the benevolent informant got an opportunity
to tell the inquiring man that that man point
ing out the individually was physical wonder,
as a roaring noise could be distinctly heard pro-
ceeding from his ear by getting within eighteen
inches of him. Our curious friend was struck
with this unheard of phenomenon, and very
properly began to work himself close enough
for personal investigation. The movement
was seen by the nervous man, and great drops
of oppressive sweat oozed out from his brow
and trickled down his checks Nearer and
nearer approached the one, and more ter
ribly intense grew the horror of the other
The space between them was slowly but surely
lessening. The curious man was within an ace
of the roaring, whenth agony ofthe 'roarer"
reached its crisis, and, clinching his fist, he
landed it between the "lookers" of the unfor-
tunate searcher after physical wonders, shout
ing at the top of his voice:
'Bite off my ears, will you?"
The effect of this on the astonished audience
may be imagined.

A Law Joke.

A lawyer of fluid tendency was discussing
some nice point of law, and getting ont of pa
tience at the inability Of the court to take his
own view of it, said the intellect of the court
was so dark flash of lightning could not pen
citrate it. The Judge being newcomer, and
not knowing the peculiarities and failing of
the man, imposed severe punishment on him
for contempt of court. Some of the lawyers
friends stated the case to his honor, and the
punishment was RENTED on the condition that
he should publicly apologize to the court. He
was accordingly brought up the next morning,
and made amends by saying:
81 regret very much that | said, in the heat
of the moment, that the intellect of the court
was so dark lightning could not penetrate it.
I guess it could; It's a rery penetrating thing"

" Give il TO me-" The man hesitated. Give
it to me il is a means of recovering the others.
The poor devil gave him his last coin. The
traveller whistled a magnificent Danish dog
began to leap around him. Here" said the
traveller. putting the coin TO the nose of the dog,
look" The intelligent creature shifted mo-
ment at the money, and then began to run about
the road. Every minute he returned leaping,
and deposited in the hand of his master ma
poleon. In about twenty minutes the whole
sum was recovered. The poor fellow who had
got his money back turned full of thanks to-
wards the traveller, who had now got into his
carriage. "Ah, you are my preserver, said
he " tell me at least your name" 81 have
