Stubssn= for Stock.

AS the season has now arrived in which
it has become necessary to remove the stock
from their exposed situations in the fields to
more comfortable quarters, and to furnish
them with that food and shelter which they
are no longer able to obtain out. of-doors, 1
think that few words concerning the
management of them while in this situation,
would not be amiss.
Since there are so many different kinds of
stock, it would be impossible to give any
one rule which would embrace the complete
management of them all still there arc
some points which may be observed with
advantage in the care of all kinds.
One of the most important of these is
,carn,th, and this is a subject of much more
importance than is generally considered by
farmers. ! do not mean to say by this that
the stock should be go closely confined as to
render them tender, but that they should
have shelter sufficiently capable of protecting
them from the inclemency of the weather.
While it is extremely desirous that we
should furnish our stock with good warm
quarters, we should be careful not to 90 to
the other extreme and exclude the air alto
gether, but should endcavor to aid the escape
of the gases which emanate from the man
ure and the lungs OF the animals, by ventila-
tors and other means.
| There is another point to which would
call attention, and which is very much neg
lected, and that is cleanliness. Many farm
ers are in the habit of allowing the manure
to remain in the stables for days together,
Just as it is deposited, and the gases arising
| from this cannot fail to be otherwise than
injurious to the animals.
| The excuse often urged for this is. that
I they have not time to remove it cach day as
| it should be done; but l very much doubt
the efficacy of this excuse, for at the most it
would require only few minutes each day;
but when allowed to remain for several days,
so large an amount has accumulated that it
requires considerable time to remove it,
The health of the animals and the clean
illness of the stables would also be greatly
increased by suitable draining.

Conversation.

This is an art in which the French ladies
excel; they are always light, agreeable, gay,
witty, and entertaining; without wishing
that American ladies possessed altogether
qualities of French women, we may desire
for them little more of the French facul-
ties of making themselves agreeable.
Too many of them, when called upon to
entertain strangers, sit cold, dull and stupid,
unable to start topic of conversation or
answer question except in monOsyllables.
Remember, the art of conversation can be
cultivated, aud that it is one of the duties
of women to cultivate it, in order to give
the proper tone to society and enliven the
domestic circle.
In selecting subject for conversation
choose something that will interest your
companion. There is nothing more ill-brcd
than to talk much of yourself, your own
plans and projects, and above all, of matters
which tend to eXalt your own importance.
Listen well; that is to say interestedly to
whatever is said toyou; good listener is
as valuable as good talker, and never in
terrupt persons when speaking to commence
repeating something calculated to detract
the attention from what he or she is saying.
Avoid subjects in society such politics
or religion. upon which persons are most
likely to ditter. 1t Is bad taste to assert
ones opinion against that of another per
sons, and the yielding OF it through polite
ness might be misconstrued.
1t is as il-bred to use foreign terms in
your conversation as it is to whisper to one
person when there are Others present.
BE careful how you encourage reputa
tion for saying smart, sharp, or sarcastic
things; it will make you both uncharitablt
and unpopular.
If you venture on story in company, bt
sure that it is sharp and to the point.
Never talk upon subjects with which yol
are only slightly acquainted, such as art anc
artists for instance. 1t is easy to betray
great deal of ignorance without knowing it
Make yourself acquainted with curren
events, current literature, and the topics ot
the day, in order to converse understanding
ly about them.

New York Gambling Houses.

A commendabe effort was made last
spring, by society organized especially for
the purpose, to suppress the crime OF gam
bling in this city. a vigorous crusade was
commenced against gamblers, and for time
there was some promise of success. Latter
iy, however, the society has not been heard
from, while the gamblers flourish as before,
the inference being that the crusade was a
failure. The gambling influence is so strong
in this city, having its folds around the
very men whose duty is to inflict punish
ment for the crime, that it seems almost i'm
possible to reform the evil under the present
! laws. These laws are stringent enough in
respect to penalty, but the very fact that the
! gamblers pay no attention to them is the
best evidence of their defeat. In the most
prominent parts of the city gambling dens
are open night and day, without any at
| tempt at concealment. On Broadway, be-
! tween Fulton street and Union Square
there are over fifty of these establishments
There are perhaps, fifty more within ra-
dius of five hundred yards from the City
Hall, and large number are scattered about
in various parts of the city. There are the
proprietors, who pocket the lions share of
the gambling proceeds; the accomplices,
who win large sums of money in the pre-
sence OF susceptible grcenhorns the "stool-
pigeons" "nyers," and "drummers," who
go abort among the hotels and other pub
lie places, and pick up victims for the gam
bling dens and also the "tlealers' and other
employees who do the routine work of these
places
The extent to which this species of crime
is carried in New York may be inferred
from the fact that the gamblers excel all
other classes in extravagant living. They
wear the best and most fashionable clothes,
display the largest and most costly diamonds
smoke the choicest Havana scgars, drink
the most delectablc of imported wines, and
eat nothing that is not fully up to the star
Gard of their epicurcan tastes. They have
no regard for money. Acquiring it, as they
do, without effort, they spend it recklessly
and never stop to inquire the cost of any
thing.
1t is a shame and disgrace to New York
that this class of fragrant crime should be
permitted to go on without restraint. There
is hardly gambling place in the city that
is not well known to the police. 1t is known
that men are daily swindled out of their
money in these places, and yet they go on
unmolested. Occasionally victim, ruined
and desperate, blows out his brains as a
! consequence Of his losses, but the business
OF the gamblers goes on without Interrupt
ton. The police, however, are not to blame
for this state of things. Their power ex-
tends only to making arrests on complaint
Of others. They ought, however, to be
| clothed with power to arrest the gamblers
and break up their dens, whenever such
dens arc known to exist. In this way only
can gambling be suppressed in this city,
and in view of its perncous influence we
! hope that the Legislature, in the coming
| session, will clothe the police with ample
power to completely root it out.

effect attract less. Plainness or loveliness
apart a very large number of womankind
have no reason to expect any very happy
chance in married life and if marriage is to
be set before all women as the one ideal, O
number OF feminine lives will always turn
out to have been failures.
1t may be said that it is hopeless to at
tempt on this point to alter the sentiments
OF the female sex, or indeed the general
verdict of society. We do not quite see Il G
h0peltssncss. A considerable amount of the
matrimonial ideas of young women are pure
ly the result of their education, an6 of the
atmosphere in which they have been brought
up and, by giving new direction to their
early training, it might not be altogether so
quiXotical to believe that we should alter all
that is the result of the training. At any
rate it has become essential for the welfare
of women that they should, as far as posi-
bic, be taught that they may have career
open to them even if they never marry; and
it is the duty of society to try to open to
them as many careers of the sort as are not
Incompatible with the distinctive pcculiari-
ties of woman's physical capacity. 1t may
well he that society's present instincts as
regards women are at bottom selfish. The
notion of feminine dependence on man, Of
the want of refinement in woman who un-
dertakes any active business or profession,
and Of the first importance of woman's
domestic position, when carried to an ex
treme, are perhaps better suited to the caprice
and fanciful tastidiousness of men than to
the real requirements in the present age, of
the other sex. The throng of semi.educated
authoresscs who are now flocking about the
world of letters is q wholesome protest
against such exclusive jealousy. The real
objection to literary women is that women,
with few notable exceptions, are not yet
properly educated to write well, or to criti-
else well what Others write. Remove this
objection by improving the curriculum of
feminine education, and there is hardly any
other. There is none certainly of sufficient
consequence to outweigh the real need
which is felt by giving those women some
thing to live for (apart from and above ordi
nary domestic and philanthropic duties)
whose good or evil fortune it is not to be
marked out by Heaven fo- u married life.

Tue FASHIONS Eyes continue To be
worn on each side OF the nose and immcdi-
ately under the brows. There has been some
talk of substituting single orb, of increased
size and hliliancy, in the centre of the
brow but after all our achievements in
lightning speed the world moves slowly,
and the idea of change in the number of
eyes to be worn has not been tavorably re-
ceived, Notwithstanding its many advan-
tages; but the color is varied to suit the
occasion, and just now the prevailing tint
is green-a fine pea green. This shade can
be best acquired in Baden Baden by contin-

Paris, Saratoga, or on Broadway. Black,

Let me lie down,
just here in the shade of this cannon-torn tree,
Here low on the tramplcd grass, where may see
The surge of the combat, where may hear
The glad cry Of victory cheer upon cheer
Let me lie down.
Oh it was grand
Like the tempest we charged, in the triumph to
The tempcst-its fury and thunder were there,
On, on, DER intrenchments, oer living and dead,
With the foe under foot and our flag overhead
Oh it was grand
Weary and faint,
Prone to the soldiers couch, ah, how can rest
With this shot-shattered head and sabre-pierced
breast?
Comrades, at rol-call when I shall be sought,
Say fought till fell and fell where l fought,
Wounded and faint.
Oh that last charge!
Right through the dread hell'fre of scrnpnell aud
Through without faltcrng, clear through with
yell,
Right in their midst, in the turmoil and gloom,
Like heroes we dashed at the mandate Of doom
Oh, that last charge
1t was duty,
Some things worthless, and some others so good
That nations who buy them pay only in blood,
For freedom and Union each man part,
And here pay my share all warm from my heart,
1t is duty
Dying at last
My mother, dear mother, with meek, fearful eye,
Farewell and God bless you, forever and aye
Oh that now lay on your pillowng breast
To breathe my last sigh the bosom first pressed
Dying Mt last!
/ am no saint,
But, boys say a prayer There's one that begins
"Our Father, and then Gays, Forgive sins. e"
Don't forget that part; say that strongly and then
il try to repeat it, and you'll say Amen.
Ah m no saint
Uark, there's n shout
Raise me up, comrades; we have conquered, |
know
Up on my feet, with my face to the foe;
Ah there flies the tag, with its star spanges bright
The promise of glory, the symbol of Right
Well may they shout
I'm mustered out
o God of our fathers! our freedom proong,
And tread down rebellion, oppression, and wrong
o land Of carth's hope on thy blood-reddened sod
die for the Nation, the Union and God
I'm mustered out
