A Story With a Moral.

A young man paying special at
tention to a young lady, met with
the following incident during one
of his visits: MI -4T eErf
Being invited into the parlor to
await, the lady's appearance, heen
tertalned himself as best he might
for some time and was becoming
weary, when a little girl about
five years old slipped in and began
to converse with him. 5s1se
p II can always tell" she said,
when you are coming to our
house."
''You CAM" he replied, q. "and
how do you tell it"
Why, when you are going to
be here sister begins to sing and
get good and she gives me cake
and pie, and anything l want, and
she sings so sweetly when you are
here, and when | speak to her she
smiles SO pleasantly. / wish YOU
would stay here all the while, then
| would have good time. But
when you go off sister is not good.
She gets mad, and if | ask her for
anything she slaps and bangs me
about" ~-~.,...,,r
This was a poser for the young
man.
"Fools and children tell the
truth, " quoted he; and taking his
hat, he left and returned no more.
Moral-Parents wishing their
Ill natured daughters married.
should keep their small children
out OF the parlor when strangers
are there.

Manufacture of Waters.

! Manufac acture. .of Waters.
The mode of making:the best
quality of waters, las practiced by
the English manufacturers, is as
follows:
Fine -four is taken and mixed
with white of eggs. and isinglass
into very smooth paste; this is
spread over the tin plates evenly,
and dried in an oven, several of the
plates being placed one over the
other to communicate glossy sur
face to the waters. When dried,
the sheets Of paste thus formed are
laid up in a pile, about an inch or
more in depth, and cut into circular
pieces by a hollow punch, which is
effected with great rapidity. The
variety of colors that are ordinari-
ly communicated to waters is CIV
en- to them in the paste, by the
usual pigments in the dry, pow
dered state, or previously dissolved
in the water employed. Il r;5
The French isinglass waters,
made in France, are formed of
isinglass dissolved in water to the
proper consistence, whichis poured
out upon plates of glass provided
with borders, and laid upon level
table. To prevent the glue from
sticking to the plates, a little gall,
or other suitable material, is rub
bed over them. Previous to the
lsinglass becoming quite dry, they
are cut through along the borders.
The leaves are then removed and
cut out with a hollow puncher, as
in the case of other waters. The
various colors are also communi-
Gated to them by pigments while
in a fluid state.

AGE OF SHEEP--How DETERN-
INED.-The age of sheep may be
known by the front teeth. They
are eight in number, appear all Of
size. In the second year the two
middle ones fall out, and their
place is supplied by two large
ones. In the third year small
tooth on each side. In the fourth
year the large teeth are six in
number. In the fifth year the
whole front teeth are large. In
the sixth year the whole begin to
getworn. In the seventh year the
whole fall out or are broken. 1t
is said the teeth of ewes begin to
decay at FIVE or six; those ofweth-
ers at seven. s.a

Dan Rice's Elephant on a
Raid,

The Utica Observer says: The
big elephant attached to Dan Rice's
circus, that exhibited at Utica last
Saturday, concluded to 60 on a
raid last night. His keeper con-
fined him to the tent, on the COM
mons, back of the reservoir, for the
night, and then thinking his charge
would behave, went to his hotel.
In the middle of the night the po-
lice at the station house were a
reused by man rushing in so ex-
cited that he could hardly speak.
He said that the wild beasts had
broken loose, and that, headed by
the elephant, they had made an at
tack on Corn Hill; and that the
citizens of that locality were flee
ing wildly for their lives, and that
he had barely escaped to tell the
talei vee.-.-., Il. (
The driver of his elephantship
was aroused, and, on proceeding
to the scene of action, the elephant
was found in the garden, corner
Of Steuben and Eagle streets, qui-
etly munching cabbage, turnips,
and other 'garden sass" Some
body who watched his motions
says fences were no protection at
all. He would quietly pick up a
length of fence and lay it one side,
and then "lay into the coveted
cabbages. In a shors time the
contents of three gardens had been
disposed of, and he was looking a
bout for more provisions, when
the keeper arrived and relieved
the anxiety of the inhabitants of
that locality.

HEART DISEASE AND TOBACCO
M. Decaisne, in a communication
to the academic des Sciences, ex-
hibits another clause in the heavy
bill OF indictment agaist the abuse
of tobacco. He states that in the
course of three years he has met,
among eighty-three inveterate
smokers, twenty-one>instances of
marked intermittence of the pulse
occurring in men from twenty-sev-
en- to forty-two years of age, and
not to be explained by organic les
ion of the heart. The absence of
such lesion or other condition of
health capable Of inducing inter-
mission of the action of the heart,
and the fact that in nine of these
instances, in which the use of to-
bacco was abandoned, the normal
action of the organ was restored,
M. Decaisne believes, will Justify
him in concluding that in certain
subjects the abuse of tobacco may
give rise TO condition which may
be termed "narcotism of the heart"
characterized by intermission in
the movements of that organ and in
the pulsations of the radial artery;
and that, in some cases, suspen-
sion or diminution in the practice
of smoking is sufficient to cause
an entire disappearance of this ir-
regularity.

Again, and for the last time
the queen turned up, and to the
utter amazement of the spectators,
on the side of the better.
For nine successive deals the
queen turned up favorable to the
better. 1t was extraordinary i
Arrange the pack as the dealer
might, an expert at the game, the
card at each distribution, on which
Hardie had placed his last hun
dred dollars, would turn up in his

heavy had the bets become, that
the entire company in the saloon
gathered around the table and
wondered at the temerity of the
man who dared so much-for, as

latter said, in a calm, butS1ot al

bets tonight. 1t is closed"
The announcement that the
bank had been broken seemed to
release the tongues of the specta-

at the unwonted event.
"Father, father" cried the lad,
'the bank is broken! All this is
yours! Come!" |
There was no movement.
A stranger took hold Of the

the man was stupidity drunk and
didn't know what he was about.
As he attempted to remove the
hand he suddenly started back,
and before he could open his lips
to express his astonishment, Har-
dies head fell heavily forward and
struck the table.

Winter Feeding of Sheen.

| % - =
! Most kinds of farm stock can
be confined all winter to one kind
of food and not suffer materially
from it, but such is not the case
with the sheep. During their
summer pasture they will tire of
the best clover and leave it for Bit
ter white weed, and if during the
winter they are kept exclusively on
good clover or timothy hay, they
will soon gladly leave it for the
coarsest wheat or rye straw, and
eat the latter with an evident rel
ish.
These facts should show us that
of all our domestic animals the
sheep, of all others, requires a
constant variation in the kind and
quality of its food. There are
few farmers SO situated that they
cannot give their sheer. the requi-
site change of food, and none who
should keep them, if they cannot
give them this necessary change.
Many of our practical men diff
fer as to the amount of food re-
quired by sheep. As far as my
own experience goes, | am salts
fed that one pound Of good clover
hay, half pound of corn and two
pounds of oat straw per day will
keep sheep in good breeding or
stock order during the winter
With a flock averaging one hun
dred pounds l have found that du-
ring warm days in mid-winter |
they would not consume the above |
amount, but in very cold weather |
they would consume a little more. |
| often vary the feed, but give
the above as the average daily
feed, and sometimes feed tive
pounds of hay instead of one
pound, and half a pound of corn,
and sometimes substitute one
pound of timothy hay for two
pounds of straw.-Gernaantouon

How TO CURE A FELoN.--As we
often see friends suffer with these
very troublesome things, we pub
lish the following cure, which
we have heard highly recommend
ed. AS soon as the parts begin
TO swell, get the tincture of lobelia.
and wrap the part affected with
a cloth saturated thoroughly with
the tincture and the felon is dead.
An old physician says he has
known it to cure in scores of cases.
and it never fails if applied in
season.

If You Should Ever Get
Married.


If you should ever get married, John,
I'll tell you what to do
Go get little tenement,
Just large enough fortwo!
And one spare room for company, I1
And one spare bed within it
And if you'd begin loves life Alright,
You'd better thus begin it.
In furniture, be moderate, John,
And let the stuffed chairs wait:
One looking glass will do for both,
Yourself and loving mate;
And Brussels, too, and other things,
Which make a fine appearance,
If you can better afford it, they
Will better look year hence.
Some think they must have pictures, John,
Superb and costly, too,
Your wife will be picture, John,
Let that suffice for you.
Remember how the wise man said,
A tent and love within it,
Is better than splendid house, -.,.
With chickering's ev'ry minute.
And one word as to cooking, John
Your wife can do that best.
For love to make the biscuit rise,
Is better far than yeast.
No matter if each day you don't
Bring turkey to the table;
Twill better relish by and by,
When you are better able
For all you buy pay money, John,
Money that every day
If you would have your life run smooth,
There is no better way.
A note to pay is an ugly thing,
Of thing you choose call it,)
When it hangs DER man who has
No money in his wallet
And now when you are married, John,
Don't try to ape the rich;
1t took many toilsome year,
To gain their envied niche;
And if you'd gain the summit, John.
Look well to your beginning,
And then will all you win repay
The care and toll of winning.
