The Unbolted Door.
An aged widow sat alone:

AN aged widow sat alone.
Beside her narrow hearth;
her silent cottage never heard
- The ringing laugh of mirth,
Six children once had sported there, but now the
church yard snow,
Fell softly on five little graves that not long
She mourned for all with patient love;
But since her eyes had.shed
The child which had been spared to her. her darling
The woeInl mother lived to wish that she had also
Those little ones beneath the snow,
MOI lost but gone before,
Faith taught her all was well with them,
M. And And the then 1, the pang was Ger.
The painted mask bitter JOY which need gives sin to
wear.
Without the snow was deep and white,
No step had fallen there; PA.
Within she sat beside the fire,
Each thought silent prayer.
When suddenly behind her seat, unwonted noise she
AS though hesitating hand the rustic latch had
stirred.
She turned and there the wanderer stood
faded woman. wild and worn,
ana then upon the mothers neck the withered brow
"Can God and you forgive all! for have sinned. =
she said
The widow dropped upon her kne es
Before the fading hre,
And thanked the Lord whose Low Ing hand
Had granted her desire
The daughter kneeled beside too tears streaming
from her eyes
And prayed, God help me to be good to mother ere
she dies!'i
They did not talk about the sim
The shame, the bitter woe;
They spoke about those little graves,
And things of long ago.
Andthe daughter raised her eyes, and said In tender
Tone
"Why did you keep your door unbarred when you
were quite alone?"
My child,' the widow said and smiled
A smile of love and pain,
Il kept it so lest you should come,
And turn away again;
I've waited for all the whea mothers love Is true
Yet Is but the shadowy type Of His who died for
you"

Agricultural.

LAST YEARS MISTAKES are avoided.
Take time, do all thoroughly and we'll.
If not present, let everything ordered to
be done pass under your inspection soon
after it is finished.
A Watch on the markets. We have al
most always either something to sell or
something to buy hence it is always well
to watch the fluctuation of prices, aud
take advantage of them, if possible.
Labor will pay.-Hire more labor-take
risks of this kind If work is we'll planned
and judiciously carried out the more there
is done, the better off you will be. If
money at interest pays, that spent for labor
ought to pay fifty per cent better.
Working Stock Groom horses daily
and thoroughly; rub them dry if they come
wet to the stable, either from perspiration
or rain. Feed regularly, and when cool,
give water. 1t is well to Let pail of water
stand where the horse can drink during the
night if he wishes to- Oxen should be
we'll brushed off every day likewise. They
are healthier for it and endure more fatigue.
If hard worked eight hours day it is all
that should be expected of oxen. Give
long mornings and good fodder
Cows.-When there is a good strong
growth of grass, turn the COWS to pasture,
but not before. Calves wearing muzzles
set with nails which are well sharpened but
not slender pointed, may run with their
dams without danger of their sucking.
Cows Coming inn on full feed often make
more milk than their udders have capacity
to retain,if milked but twice day, Neglect
to milk oftener causes not only the loss of
pint or two which leaks out daily, but in-
duces tendency in the COW to secrete less,
entailing loss through the year. oa a.l

Railroads and Liquor,
Curious Tables.
From the New York Examiner.

Mr.. Wells in his report, gives us table,
showing the aggregate sales'' of liquors,
at wholesale and retail, Sin the several
States and Territories of the Union during
the fiscal year ending June 80 1867, rs de
duced from the receipts of internal reve-
nue." The value of the retail liquor sales
that u.s. the first cost to the consumers
reaches, IN single year, the enormous sum
OF one billion, four hundred and eighty
| three million, four hundred and ninety-one
thousand, eight hundred and sixty five
dollars ($1, 483, 491, 1863. That is forty
three dollars for every man, woman and
child in the country. 1t is very nearly
oDe-eighth of the entire annual sales of
the merchandise including liquors, by
wholesale and retail dealers, auctioneers and
commercial brokers, during the same pc
riod ($11, $40, 339, POD. 1t. is more than
''the entire product of the precious metals, I"
from all the States and Territories west of
the Rocky Mountains for twenty years,
from 1848 to January 1868, which j, Ross
Browne, in his recent report to the Secreta
ry of the Treasury, estimates at 1867
900, 900. 1t is more than ten times the
total value of the church property in the
United States, given by the census Of 1860
as $171, 1913, 532 1t is more than one half
our entire national debt (not deducting the
cash in the Treasury, which was 81, 1885,,
502, 848 on November /, 1867.
Mr.. Delmar, of the National Bureau of
Statistics. has published summary state
ment of the length and cost of railroads
in the several States at the close OF 1867. :"
We will compare this, SO far as the cost
and equipment of the roads are concerned,
with Mr.. Wells statement of the value of
the retail liquor sales in the several States
for the single year ending June 30 1867.
We remark, in parenthesis, that the whole
sale liquor sales are something less than
one half the amount Of the retail sales
$500, 278, 050) This indicates something
of the profits of this traffic 1t is obvious
why we use the returns of the retail sales
rather than of the wholesale as we wish to
get at the cost to the consumer. The total
present value of railroads is 81 654, 059, 799
exceeding the annual cost of the liquor
drank by less than the worth of the rail
roads in the single state of Pennsylvania.
The comparison of the two items in the
several States is certainly instructive

American Agriculturalist give the following
receipt for preparing an excellent white

the glue in cold water over night--in the

it is dissolved. Place the whiting in pan
and cover with boiling water, adding the
glue while hot--stirring until Thoroughly
mixed. If the ingredients are good this

SPRING MANAGEMENT OF STRAWBERRIES =
d. j., Of Kosbkonong, writes US that he
last spring, set out an acre of Strawberries,
and cultivated them through the summer
that they have wintered WELL, and now he
wishes to know whether to cultivate them
this spring or let them alone. That de-
ponds somewhat upon the circumstances.
II they grew well last season aud formed
good roots and crowns, the ground should
be but little stirred save to keep them clean
Of weeds and grass. An
excellent plan is to mulch
between the rows and bills with straw, COW
eriDg we'll the ground and leaving the
plants free. 1t is more convenient to have
the straw coarsely cut--from three to six
inches long, This muching will keep
down the weeds and protect the plants from
drought, and also keeping the runners from
taking root and facilitate the process of
pulling or clipping them of.-WIs. FARMER
