IL Wish / Had Capital,

So we heard great strapping young
men exclaim the other day. We conclu-
ded that he wanted little practical ad-
vice, and we will give it to him.
You want capital, do you? And sup
pose you had what you call capital, what
would you do with it !? Haven't you
hands, feet, muscle, bone, brains, health,
and don't you call them capital? What
more capital Gid God give any body?
"Oh but they are not money!" say
you. But they are more than money,
and nobody can take them from you
Don't you know how to use them? If
you don't it's time you we're learning.
Take hold of the pillow, or hoe, or jack
plane, or broad-ax, and go to work.
Your capital will then, in due time, yield
you large interest. Ay, but there's the
rub; you don't want to work you want
money on credit, as you can play gentle
man and speculate, and end by playing
the vagabond.
Or you want farm with plenty of
hands upon it to do the work, while you
run over the country and dissipate or
you want to marry some rich girl who
may be foolish enough to take you for
your good looks that she may support
you.
Shame on you. young man Go to
work with the capital you have, and
you'll soon make interest enough upon
it to give you as much money as you need,
and make you feel like man. If YOU can
not make money on what capital you have,
you could not if you had large amount
in cash. If you do not know how to use
bone, muscle and brains, you would not
know how to use gold If you let the
capital you have lie idle, and waste and
rust out, it would be the same with you if
you had gold; you would only know how
to waste it.
Then don't stand about idle, great
helpless boy, waiting for something to
turn up, but 60 to work. Take the first
work you can find, no matter what it is,
so that you do it we'll; always do your
best. If you manage the capital you al
ready have, you Will soon have plenty
more to manage the capital God has given
you will never have any other to manage.
Do you hear, young man?

The British Wheat Crop.

The London Shipping and Mercantile
Gazette of August II, in review of the
wheat trade, states that the samples of
new wheat exhibited at Mark Lane showed
better condition than the previous
unfavorable weather gave reason to ex-
pect, but they were deficient in weight
and color as compared with last year. It
added that this years crop is under the
average, both as to yield and quality.
Stocks Of old wheat have been greatly
depleted, but the deficiency will be to
some extent made up by the extra breadth
of land under cultivation this year, and
prices are expected to recede. The re-
ceipts of foreign wheat are expected to be
heavy. stimulated by the high rates in
1865, and the removal of every restriction
upon importations. The amount of
wheat afoat for the United Kingdom was
about the same as at the same period Lass
year, and this is expected to receive con-
sidereble addition from the fact of def
Gent harvest, which is now a matter Of
certainty,

weaving Young Animals.

Colts, lambs and calves, left to take
their regular allowance of milk naturally,
should be weaned about this time, say
when three or four months old. The colts
being put in enclosures away from their
dams, and allowed to suck at first twice
day, then once day, then less often, and
finally once week for once or twice, thus
will they be weaned quietly and without
falling off in flesh through running to and
fro in their anxiety. Lambs must be
weaned abruptly, and to make easier for
both parties, separate them beyond tho
sound of each others bleating, leaving
the lambs in the old pasture. Give the
ewes very dry feed, and milk those whose
udders appear distended and tender.
Put two or three old time ewes or wethers
with The lambs as leaders, and to make
them manageable. Calves are very east
IL managed, being allowed to suck only
while the COW is being MIXED, and that
but once day after few days. The
mixer can restrict the allowance of milk
that the calf gets at his discretion.

FOR THE HERALD.
MANY time have they afflicted me from nay
youth, yet have they not prevailed again st me-"
Many and many tins,
While passing under the rod,
We feel as the waves Of sorrow come,
Forsaken by our God.
Nearer and nearer the pillows roll,
Deeper and darker the gloom,
And we long to lay our weary head
Low in the silent tomb.
Many and many time
The burdens we have to bear
Are clogged with.a weight of conscious wrong,
Of grief and anxious care. a
We pray for the light that once was ours,
To guide our troubled way,
And mourn that in this dreary waste
That light hath passed away.
Many and many time
AS the shadows come and GO
Leaving upon our burdened heart
The impress Of its wo.
We sigh fos the joys forever fed,
For hopes that once beat high,
And sadly weep Ger loved ones gone,
And lost to sight for age.
Many and many time,
AS we gaze upon our dead,
And yearn 10 bring the spirit back
To life from whence it fed.
0, vainly do we clasp that hand,
And press that lifeless form
They never more mid worldly strife,
Will shield us from the storm.
Many and many time,
AS we lay beneath the rod,
Crushed by weight of hidden grief
Known only to our God.
We long to lay our burdens down
Upon the Saviour's breast,
And humbly ask home on high,
Where weary souls find rest.
Many and many time,
In sorrow and in gloom,
Mid doubts and fears that here beses
Our journey to the tomb,
We calmly bide our time, and wait
While shadows come and 60
Then safely anchor in the vale,
Where crystal waters flow.
Many and many time,
As sunrise on the hill
Beams brightly on the glowingNearth,
And sparkles on the rill.
Mil splendors greater far than these,
Our burdened souls will rise
Redeemed from earth, mid angel song,
Well join the lood-bought, ransomed throng,
Triumphant in the skies. II. A. G.

There is a very simple method to clea

There is very simple method to clean
most any kind of paint that has become
dirty, and if our housewives should adopt
it, it would save them great deal Of
trouble. Provide plate, with some of
the best whiting to be had, and have
ready some clear warm water and piece
of flannel, which dip into the water, and
squeeze nearly dry; then take as much
whiting as will adhere to it; apply it to
the painted surface, when little rubbing
will instantly remove any dirt or grease.
After which wash the part with clean wa
ter, rubbing it dry with soft channels.
Paint thus steamed looks as well as when
first laid on, without any injury to the
most delicate eoors It is far better than
using soap, does not require more than
half the time and labor.

The Hurricane in Massa chusetts.

Boston Sept. 9.-The hurricane last
night extended over most of Eastern
Massachusetts. AT Nahant a large
dwelling and stable were blown down
aud the depot on the steamboat wharf
was blown into the sea. At Hull every
boat at anchor in the harbor was driven
ashore or sunk. The windows Of the
Mansion House were blown in, and the
outbuildings unroofed.
AT Higham the streets were blocked
with trees and barns and chimneys
Agricultural Hall, in Mansfield, was
leveled with the ground. In Abingdon
three church steeples fell, and large nail
and tack factory in South Arlington was
unroofed. At Braintree the steeple of
the Congregational Church was carried off
level with the roof.
At Newburyport and towns further east
the gale was less violent. The damage
to fruit trees, shrubbery and corn is
immense in all directions. The Coliseum
organ is ruined. It had just been sold
to parties in Chicago for $4,000. The
big drum was also ruined.
Nearly every vessel in Boston harbor
dragged its anchors, and many collided,
sustaining damage. At Marblehead,
Frank Barrett. of Nashua, N. H., was
killed. The Sycamore House, on Nan
tucket beach, was swept from its founda-
tions. The inmates escaped injury,
having just left the house for safer quar-
tiers. The gale along the eastern coast
was the most terrific experienced for years
The Marine Hospital had one-third of
the roof blown off. Tie fog-bell at
Portland Headlight was blown over the
bank into the sea. The gale ragged
tearfully on the coast Every description
of vessel dragged anchors and drifted

ED1roRs ARE .BoRN, NOT MADE."-The
Cincinnati Enquirer takes the following
view of the policy of the proposed estab-
lishment of chair for the especial oduca-
ton of editors. at the Washington College.
We would like to see the course of study
which would adapt man for such life:
"We see it stated that "a class in
journalism is to be introduced into Wash
ington College, Va. The idea is to ed
ucate young men for the editorial pro-
fession-which will prove one Of the
largest Of the many humbugs with which
collegiate life is being 'doctored' these
days. The only graduating GLASS for
journalist is newspaper Office, and what
ever of perfectibility is attainable must
come through hard work and dear ex-
pcrience. A college may turn out 8 herd
Of essayists every year, but there won't
be single journalist among them. And
who is to be the Professor of Journalist!
Here is one great difficulty. Nobody
but first class journaafst would be COM
petent; and we doubt if first class jour-
alist could be persuaded into the business.
If man wants to be a journalist, let him
serve an apprenticeship Of about ten years
ia the Office of a frst-class newspaper.

How TO BE NOBODY. Young man. it
is easy to be nobody. Go to the drinking
saloon to spend your leisure. You need
not drink much now. just little beer, or
some other drink. In the meantime play
dominoes, chequers, or something else to
consume, that you will be sure not to read
any useful book; or if you do read let it
be the ''dime novels" of the day. Thus
go on keeping your stomach full. head
empty, and yourself playing time-killing
games, and in few years you'll be no.
body, unless you should turn out drunk
ard or professional gambler, either of
which is worse than to be nobody. There
are many men about our town just ready
to graduate and be nobodies. - LynclsbNrg
