Adjusting Expenses.

An English paper in this pleasant
aud torcible way begs people to draw
the important distinction between
regulating the expenditures by other
peoples instead OF by their own wants
and purses:
If you want to live in vain show,
regulate your expenditure by the ex,
penditure Of your neighbors if you
want to live wisely aud manfully,
regulate your expenditure by your
actual wants, including, of course,
the wants of your mind as we'll as
those Of your body, and the wants Of
your family rs well as your own. A
comely dress is a good thing and a
proper application Of money; but a
dress of a particular cut and color,
not wanted for any other reason ex-
cept that Mrs. Goldsmith or Miss
FiIagree over the way has got one, is
not Legitimate or thrifty expendi>
ture of money. If you really want
better house than that you now in>
habit, more airy, more free from
damp, more fitted to the size Of
growing family, the likelihood is that
you could not make more advisa-
bic use OF your money; but if neigh>

His shadow lengthen- along the land,
giant staff in giant hand
In the poplar tree, above the .prioz.
The katydid begins to log
The early dew, are falling
Into the stoue-heap dart, the mink
The swallows skim the rivers brink
And home to the woodland fly the crows

The pigs come granting to his feet,

While still the COW boy far away,

The cheerful milkmaid takes her stool,
And sits and milks in the twilight cool

To supper at last the farmer goes,
The apples are pared, the paper read,
The stories are told, then all to bed
Without, the crickets' ceaseless song
Makes shrill the silence all night long
The heavy dews are falling.
The housewives hand has turned the lock
Drowsily ticks the kitchen clock
The household sinks to deep repose
But still in sleep the farm boy goes

SwEENY IN HoEsEs.-J. 7. Busby, a
correspondent of the "Ohio Cutivator,"
gives the following cure, which he says
has never failed, and one, too, that does
not prevent the horse from working -
Raise the skin at the top of the shoulder
where the shrinking Of the muscle begins
with the thumb and fore finger then
take a sharp. pointed knife, the blade one
half inch in width, and pierce it through,
then pierce it again about one-fourth the
the distance down the afflicted shoulder,
and again about one-half the distance
down, then rub it well with the hand.
At the expiration of three days repeat
the operation again, beginning about two
inches below the first, second and third
pumcturcs, and rub as before. If the
disease is fairly seated, repeat the opera
ton in three days after the second opera
ton. If the above cure is properly man.
aged it leaves no marks.
