Catherine ii. of Russia.

GATHERINGS life was one of ceaseless
labor. She rose at 6 both in winter and
summer she always retired to her room at
TO- Her day was chiefly passed in her
own apartments, at her desk, or in consul
tatien with her trusty eounsellors. She
planned her own military expeditions, and
attended to the internal regulations of her
vast empire. She sent out scientific men
to explore her distant territories, and brave
navigators to trace the continent of Amer
lea and the islands of Behring Straits
She founded schools and charitable insti-
tutioDs, and looked with pity on the suffer-
lngs of the poor. She planned a vast
scheme of internal improvement; built
canals, roads and bridges in various parts
of the empire; reformed the laws of the
nation enforced justice protected, when
she could not emancipate the serf; recon-
mended morality; was assiduous in her
religious observances and filled all Europe
with the fame of her liberality and bene6-
cence.
Yet there were moments when Catherine
must have felt how giddy was that splendid
eminence upon which she had placed her.
self, and when the anticipated pains of
deposition, shame, and death drove her to
remOrseless deeds of cruelty and crime
At such moments no fear of infamy, no
sentiment of PITY, moved her from her fear
tul design. She crushed the feeble pre-
tenders to her throne with relentless hand
She pursued them to their deaths with a
malignity full of fraud and vindictiveness.
Yet, in this respect, was she more guilty
than Elizabeth of England, the executioner
of her cousin, or Mary, the assassin, of her
husband; than Henry VIII. or Louis
XIV?
On the darker shades of GATHERINGS
character / do not propose to dwell Let
her errors be buried with her. They cer-
tainly brought with them their own fearful
retribution. Prince Gregory Orloff, her
favorite for many years, and the chief
author of her greatness, died in 1874,
raving madman, the victim of remorse.-
The bleeding shade of the murdered Peter
III. followed him wherever he went terri
fed him in horrible visions at night, and
seemed constantly to threaten him with
avenging darts. Orloff sometimes sunk
into silent melancholy, and then broke out
into wild shouts of insane merriment He
heaped curses and while reproaches upon
Catherine fearful to listen to, and which
seemed to plunge her in the deepest de-
spair. At length the wretched prince fed
to Moscow, and died in unspeakable agony.

Rrsr M.x.nrurxr or Cows REruaE AM

BEsT MANAGEMENT OF COWS BEFuRE AND
AFTER CALvISG.-The whole subject may be
briefly comprehended in the single word
com fort Whatever management or circum-
stances tend to afford the greatest net
amount of comfort is best for them. They
should have that amount and quality of food
which thew relish sufficiently to lead them
to eat their reasonable fill oft; and it should
possess such nutritive qualities that just that
amount will keep them in thriving condi-
tion. Their feed should not be so concen
trated as to fail to give them the proper
stimulus OF dstention, nos the reverse so
that in taking sufficient nourishment they
n. ust take an uncomfortable bulk of it. Ordi-
narily there is no better food for them than
good, earl cut hay; !. e., well cured grass.
The custom OF beginning to mess COWS week
before calving tends to an increased amount
of blood in the system. which at that time
is not desirable, as it favors infamatory at
ticks. 1t is safer to diminish this tendency
for few days, before and after parturition,
by rather lighter feeding. 1tis an erroneous
idea that calves shoald run with the cows a
few weeks in order to @ bunt down the cak ed
bag" No violence should ever be suffered,
and gentle rubbing and bathing with warm
water is the most agreeable to the COW, and
useful to remove inflammation. If the placenta
is not discharged within six hours battle the
small of her back and groins with warm
water until it is dropped. or so long as there
is unusual heat at those parts, avoiding vio,
lence and all powerful medicines for that pur
pose.

The . Scolding Wife.

Our pen trembles in our hand as we
write " scolding wife" for of all curses and
torments on the face of the earth this
demon is surely the greatest Her horrible
temper has driven her husband long since
to the tavern, where, notwithstanding the
terrible penalty he will have to pay for the
association, he meets at least with smiles
and jovial companions.
A man could lie down in the swamps of
Louisiana, with mosquito sucking at
every pore of his skin, and bear it with
more equanimity, than the everlasting clack
of scoldiug woman's tongue.
What should be her pleasure-the care
of the household-she makes misery to
herself and all around her, aud particularly
her poor husband who has to listen-if he
expects peace and quietness-to recital
of all the details of troubles she has with
the servants how Billy dropped little
oil ON the landing which she knows will
never come out, and little Eliza, being left
to take care of herself, while she was look
ing after the servants, threw her spools of
cotton into the fire, and lost every needle
she had in the world
The husband, anxious to molfy the If
ritation, says
"Never mind, my dear, let us have
dinner; | will bring you plenty of spools
Of cotton and needles when l come home
this evening"
"There, that.is just like you declare
