Before the Lord should pause and fall,
And with her long hair wipe his feet
BE whom with yearning hearts we love,
And faip would with human eyes
Around our living pathway move,
And underneath our daily skies

The Lord of life, the Lord of death,
In whom the universe had birth,
But breathing of our breath one breath
II any woman of the street
Should kneel, and with the lifted mesh
OF her long tresses wipe his feet,
And with her kisses kiss their flesh
How round that woman would we throng
How willingly would clasp her hands
Fresh from that touch divine, and long
To gather up the twice-blest. strandsI
How eargerly with her would change
Our idle innocence, nor heed
Her shameful memories and strange,
Could we but also claim that deed

RAISING CALVES WITHOUT MILK.

Calves can be raised very readily
without much milk, by feeding them on
hay tea, oil cake and meal. They should
have Tor the first three or four days two
or three quarts of milk at meal, then
gradually some food in the shape Of
grIel is added, and by degrees water is
substituted for milk. Mixing oil cake
with cruel is the secreG Of success, Use
half OIL cake, the best you can buy.---
Take large bucket capable OF holding
six gallons. put into it two gallons Of
-scalding water,s then add several pounds
Of lnseed cake, finely ground. Stir the
oil cake and water together and add two
ga.loI of hay tea. 9
The hay tea is made by pouring scald-
ing water in the morning on goodsweet
hay, in tub, the tea standing covered
till night, and having seven pounds of
meal (middling barley or oat meal)
stirred into tubfull before used. The
same hay will bear a second infusion
during the night, for next morning.
Two quarts per head, with an equal.
amount of cold water, Is enough for a,
feed. The old plan of letting them
suck through the cowman's fingers is
preferred, and as soon as they can eat.
crushed corn. sweet hay and roots are
placed within kreach; feed verches as
soon as ready, and mangels, of which a
supply should always be stored if T5rac-
ticable. The calves should be placed
in a dry, well ventilated house, kept
very clean and qnIes, supplied with
fresh water daily, and the manure fre-r
queutly removed.--Stoct Joayial..

ORANGE COURT HOUSE
PRESERVING FENCE POSTS.

1t is well known fact that the de.
cay of wood is chiefly owing to the
presence of albiminons or nitrogenIzeo
substances contained within it. Al
these substances go into decomposition
as they rapldly.do, they induce decay
among the more solid particles OF car.
bon. Various ways have been resorted
TO for coagulating this albumen as a
means to secure the preservation OF
wood. Rut all the methods that have
been resorted to are too expensive to be
employed in She preservation Of fence
posts.
Ship builders have method of pre-
pairing timber, which is not expensive;
and which might perhaps be employed
with profit Jy farmers in preparing
fence posts. They work ont the lum-
ber to about the size that is required,
and then immerse it in water for sever
al weeks or months. The water grad
ually dissolyes ont and washes away
the nitrogenized or albuminous matter,
and thus effects the preservation OF the
wood.
TIE question arises, cannot such q
course be profitabiy practieed in reIa-
tlon 10 fence posts, by farmers who live

water? We have heard farmers who
came from the East, say that fence
posts do not last as long here as they
did there. Ii this is the fact, the cause
may. be attributed to the different ways
they are got to market. In many parts
of New England, and we presume in
New York and Pennsylvania, cedar
posts are RATED down long rivers, and

fore they are seasoned; while here, they
are piled up to season, as soon as they
are cut.
Doubtless the best way to get rid OF
the albuninous matter would be to en-
tirely immerse the posts in water, by
putting weights on them; and it would
appear that running water would be
preferable to that which is still, since
the matter would be washed away as
soon as it had soaked out. .-Prdirie Far

BLAZING STARS

In the year 1866 star blaZed up in
the constellation OF the Northern
Crown, rapidly attaining the second
magnitude. II soon began to decline In
brightness falling in twelve days to the
eighth magnitude. 1t was subjected to
spectroscopit observation by William
Huggins shortly after it began to fade.
This experientced observer was sur
prsed with the phenome non of two
distinct speetra. One of these was the
ordinary spectrum of dark lines, show
ing the existence of photosphere Ol
incandescent solid or liquid matter, in
closed in vaporous atmosphere. Over
lying this was spectrum consisting OF
four bright lines. This plainly proves
the existence of a second source o1ight,
shown by its peculiar spectrum to be a
luminous gas.
Two of tliese lines were the promi-
nent hydrogen lines, and their great
brightness showed the gas to be hotter
than the photosphere. The conclusion
was obvious: the observer beheld blaz-
ing world. t81hi +
A sudden food of free hydrogen gas
had apparently burst from the interior
OF the star, and was fiercely burning in
contact with some other element. The
intense heat OF this conflagration had
also heated the photosphere, so as to
render its spectrum more vivid.
1t, then, the stars are thus liable to
become enwrapped in the flames OF
burning hydrogen, we may speculate
as to what would be the fate of the in
habitants OF the plsnets were our sun
to emulate the yagaries of its sisterorbs
and burst out in mighty conilagfation.

HOW TO PREVENT HYDRoPBoB1A.

DR.. Alfred Holloway, member of the
Royal College of Surgeons, England,
writes us from Mount Brydges, Onta-
rio, Dominion of Canada, that hydro
phobia, or dog madness, is not caused
by hot weather, or the seasons, or want
of water, but simply because there are
so few Stats kept, Where dogs wander
free, as in Turkey and Australia, the
disease of bydrophobia is totally un-
known. What makes the matter worse
is that sluts are taxed double what dogs
are. The doctor says that all the car
nivora when confined away from their
mates are subject to hydrophobia.
