Short Rules In Rural ECONOMY,

/. Paint all tools exposed to the
weather and if light colored paint,
they will not heat, warp and crack the
least in the sun. .....
2. Dip well seasoned shingles in lime,
wash and dry them before laying, and
they will last much longer and not be-
come covered with moss.
3. In hitching u horse to a common
rail or worm fence, always select the in
side corner, which will be more secure
by its bracing position, and the halter
will not become entangled among the
projecting ends of the rails, as when
hitched to an outside corner.
A. Always tie a halter by making first
single loop and then thrusting the end
of the halter through this loop. This is
quickly united and will never come un-
tied of itself
o. Dip the ends or nails into grease
and they will drive easily into any hard
wood, where otherwise they would double
and break. rt'
8. In screwing nuts on to any part of
machinary, in cold weather, be careful
not to heat them first by the hands, or
they will contract after being screwed on
tight, and comeimmovablea afterwards.
Z. In plouGhing or tenming on the
road in hot weather, always rest the
horses on an eminence, and where one
minute will be worth two, in n warm
valley. ,.sff
8. In setting out young orchards, al
ways register the varieties Immediately
in the book, where they may be referred
to in u few years when the trees COM
meilce bearing and after the labels are
lost and the names forgotten.
8. In laying out gardens for fruits and
vegetables. place everything in drills or
rows, so that they may be cultivated by
n horse, and thus save the expense of
hand labor. 0E."'r .s r..r
TO- Plant patch of osier willows on
every farm. A rod square will furnish as
many bands for binding cornstalks, straw,
etc, as an acre of rye straw.
IL. Removeevery stone from the track
in the high way. a single projection
which might have been removed in one
minute, has battered or injured thou
sand wagons at damage equal to hun
dred days labor.
II. When board fences become old
and the boards begin to come of, nail
upright facing strips upon them against
each post, and the boards will be held i'm
their place, and the fence will last sever
al years longer. ehEH
13. Always set post fence over o
ditch, or near good drainage, and the post
always remains dry, and will last many
years longer than those standing In the
wet sub-sol.
IA. In writing on wooden labels or
marking sticks, with a common pencil,
II the wood be first wet, the mark will
last two years, If written on dry, one or
two rains will wash it all away.
Is. Always keep supply of copper
wire on hand, of different sizes, for re-
pairing tools 1t is greatly superior 70
either twine or iron wire.

On Prayer.

Written by poor illiterate man, on seeing Q
modern Family Prayer Book, now in circula'
tion, the preface of which contains these words
"This book Is intended to assist those who have
not acquired the happy art of addressing them
selves to God, in scriptural and appropriate
language"
While Praying's thought an Artso happy,
BY a few who others rule;-
Jesus teach me its Importance
In thy self-denying school.
Prayers the sweetest. noblest dtty,
Highest privilege of man;
Gods eXalted-man'S abaSed,
Prayer unites their natures one.
God alone can teach His children
BY His Spirit, how to pray;
Knows our wants, and gives the knowledge
When to ask, and what to say.
Why should man then manufacture
Books Of Prayer, to get them sold?
Sad delusion-strive to barter
Christ's prerogative for gold.
Where's the book, or school, or college,
That can teach u man to pray?
Words they teach devoid of power;
Learn of Christ, for He's the way.
why ask money from the people
For those barren Books Of prUNsrf
Paper, ink, and words are in them,
But, .,las! God is not there. ,... '...
Those who seek will surely find him,
Not in Books, He,regns withiIni
Neither does He dwell with sin
, Some in them have wond'rous skill;
But, saying Lord! viii never save them;
Those He loves who do His will.
Words may please the lofty fancy;
Music charm the itching ear;
Pompoiis sounds may please the giddy;
But Is Christ the Savior hereY
Christ's the woy--the path to heaven;
Life is ours, If Him we know:
Those who can pray, He has taught them,
Those who can't should words forego.
Why not ask his parents dear?
Ask in faith then-GOd's our father,
He's at hand requests to hear.
Prayers an easy, simple duty,
IT'S the language of the soul;
Grace demands it-grace receives It
Grace must superintend the whole.
God requires not formal postures,
Neither yortis arranged in form;
Such notion prcsupposes
That by words we God can charm.
God alone must be exalted
Every earthly thought must fall;
Such the prayer, and praise triumphant;
Then does God reign over all.
Every heart should be temple,-
God should dwell our souls within;
Every day should be sabbath;
Every hour redeemed from sin.
Every place, place OF Worship;
Every time, u time of prayer;
Every sigh should rise TO heaven,
Every wish should anchor there.
Heart-felt signs, and heaven born wishes,
Or the tear uplifted eye,
All are prayers that God Will answer,
They ascend His throne on high.
Spirit of prayerl be thou the portion
OF all those who wait in time;-
Help us, shield us, lead us, guide US;
Thine the praise, the glory thine.

A NEW WAY TO KILL RATs.-A cor
respondent proposes new way to kill
rats. His own house being overrun with
the effect of "Old Bourbonn whisky on
bipeds, thought she would try the exper-
iment on rats. Accordingly, she took a
small quantity, made it, very sweet with
sugar crumbled in bread enough for the
crowd, and set the dish in the cellar. A
few hours after she went down, and
found several rats gloriously "fuddled,n -
engaged in throwing potato parihgs and
hauling one another up to drink. These
Were easily disposed of; and those not
killed left the premises Immediately,
suffering from q severe lheadache.--[Ar-
kansas Conservative.

A CURIOUS case of poisoning occurred
In Detroit short time ago, which proved
