Away to Purify Cistern Water

Ward Billiard, of Weybridge, VT, gives
the following as, in his opinion, the best
method of keeping the contents of cistern
from stagnating and becoming filthy and
offensive:
LET the spout run to the bottom of the
cistern. You will then have new water ev-
cry time it rains. The old water will be
buoyed or borne up, and thrown off. Some
times single rain viii throw off all the
old water, and give entirely new. If you
have any doubt of this, fill pail with wa
ter, run a tube to the bottom of it, and by
means of funnel, turn more water into it
by means of the tube, and you will see that
the water you turn into the tube will go to
the bottom of the pail, and the water you
put in first will be thrown off,"

The New Jerusalem.


Bathed in unfallen sunlight,
Itself a Stubborn gem,
Fair CLEANS the glorious city,
The New Jerusalem!
City fairest,
Splendor rarest,
Let me gaze on thee!
Calm in her queenly glory,
She sits, all joy and light,
Pure in her bridal beauty,
Her raiment festal white!
Home of gladness,
Free from sadness,
Let me dwell in thee!
Shading her golden pavement
The tree of life is seen.
Its fruit rich branches waving,
Celestial evergreen.
Tree ofwonder
Let me under
Thee forever rest,
Fresh from the throne of Godhead,
Bright in its crystal CLEAN,
Bursts out the living fountain,
Swells on the living stream.
Blessed river,
Let me ever
Feast my eye on thee!
Stream of true life and gladness,
Spring of all health and peace;
No harps by thee hang silent,
Nor happy voices cease.
Tranquil river,
Let me ever
Sit and sing by thee!
River Of God, greet thee,
Not now afar, but near;
My soul to thy still waters
Hastes in its thirstings here.
Holy river,
Let me ever
Drink of only thee.
Horatius Bonar, ID. d.

1t was the advice of Seneca to his friend
Lucilius, in order the more diligently to
keep himself up to his full duty, to mag
inc some great man, some strict, quick
sighted, clear Drained man, as Cato, con-
tinually looking upon him. So the chris

that he is ever by his side, noting all he
does. But O, how blessed is the thought
that he is more than silent spectator
He is an all powerful helper-an ever
ready and willing helper.

To Prevent SoWs LYING on their Pics

The hog pen floor ought to be made of
plank, laid one foot or more above the
ground. Eight inches above the floor all
around the pen, place oak plank about a
foot wide. Their projection into the pen
makes place for the pigs to creep under,
and protects them from the cold and from
the SOW when she lies down, as she always
wants to lie close to the outside of the pen.

Poultry Manure.

The productive power of the droppings
of the hennery is very great as compared
with ordinary barnyard manure; yet many
farmers, with score or two of fowls, take
little or no pains to preserve and apply it
to the purposes of vegetable production
1t is an excellent dressing for gardens, and
will repay hundred fold the care and ex-
pense of preserving and applying it,

Smut in Wheat.

W. P J. Hyde of Sudbury, says that he
prevents this by soaking the seed in brine
for twelve hours, having brine enough to
cover the wheat, then drain off the brine
and roll the kernels in strong Stacked lime.
A similar process was in vogue fifty years
ago, with the exception that human urine
was used in place of brine and there was
then no complaint of any smut.

Stumbling Horses.

A horse may sometimes stumble; he
never does this Intentionally, and should
not be punished for it; the cause lies some
where else, perhaps in the shoeing, the eye
sight of the animal, or some defect in his
limbs caused by hard usage, or the condi-
ton of the road.

Lobby Sharp Practice in New York.

ABOUT the smartest case of political
sharp practice that has ever come under
our notice is found in the manipulation Of
the Hon. E. NJ. Glenn, Of Wayne county,
by the lobbymen in the interest of Mr..
Fenton, at Albany, last Saturday evening.
Mr. Glenn is very honest and impulsive
man, but credulous and capable OF being
deceived The caucus took place at half
past 7 in the evening, and at half-past
Mr.. Glenn waited upon Mr.. Morgan in
person to assure him that whatever else
might happen, the vote of Glenn was his
and his only. But no sooner had he left
the presence Of the Senator than he was
taken in hand by the shrewd friends of
Governor Fenton, who, with becoming
seriousness, said to him g Mr.. Glenn, do
you know that these scoundrels about here
have been selling your vote to Morgan ?"
"Nop' said Glenn, opening all his eyes
"you don't tell me p Yes, indeed, wss
the answer, "and Morgan's hounds have
paid them five thousand dollars on condi-
ton that your ballot should be cast for
their candidate" "Well, WELL" respond
ed the unsuspecting and excited legislator,
" if they have sold me, they shall find that
I am hard to deliver. I'll take care that
this trick in not tried on me again, can
tell you"
The result was that, in his indignation,
! Mr.. Glenn went into the caucus and osten-
| tatiously cast an open ballot for Mr.. Fen
ton, whose friends thus accomplished py
metaphysical means what could not nave
been accomplished by any other.-Nel'
