SHOULD BIZ REwARpEp. - No officers

Their salaries should be raised to at

ont any hesitation on the part OF
Congrcssmen. Brains and knowl-
edge of law aud Constitutions seem to
amount to nothing these times, while

Mr.. EDrroR:-H Having had good deal
OF experience in handling poultry, having
bought and sold from 900 to 50,0 pounds
per year for the past ten or twelve years,
and knowing the increased demand for good
poultry, have often thought should like
to say something through your valuable
paper to induce farmers in this vicinity TO
give more attention to the raising and fat
tening of poultry; and having been on q
visit recently to Connecticut and Rhode
Island, 1 will give some statistics and facts
which ] gathered in regard to raising and
feeding poultry. Almost every farmer /
met with raises all the poultry he can, be-
lieving il TO be the most profitable part of
their income from their farms. will give
you statement one or two farmers gave
nae in regard to the poultry raised and sold
from their farms the past year. First that
of Elias Miner of Stonington, CT. He sold
for Thanksgiving marketable turkeys,
weight 1880 pounds, at q cents per pound,
S44Ol0. For Christmas market, 40 geese,
weight $40 pounds, at is cents, $93.6O; 25
turkeys, 10 pounds each, at 25 cents, ssl.25;
10 live turkeys, 1874; ducks and chickens,
$50; feathers, s3O,-total, s72s.95. Jesse Y.
Hull sold for the Christmas market so tur-
keys, weight II pounds each, at % cents per
pound, s2l2.50; geese raised from a stock of
six old ones, S0,-total, $2s2,5O. We also
give the experience of practical man, the
Hon. Welcome A. Browning, one of the
most successful turkey-raisers in eastern
Connecticut, and who never fails to realize
profit of $40 year or more on every hen
turkey he keeps. I give below his state
ments, as published in the Hearth and
Home, in nearly his own words.

pOPUE.FR LECTURES.

Lectures have this advantage over books,
that they give you not only the matter but
the man-the soul behind the substance,
the worker together with his work. Print
can never vie with personality; and one Of
the ends served by lectures is to put on ex-
hibiton people more or less illustrlous. Is
IL the same to us whether we read the -Four
Georges" or hear them from Thackeray2
Would anybody that ever saw this writer
on the platform, pretend that clearing i'm
perfectly was not better than "reading at
leisure in his book?" Tho charm of per-
sonality, to all but a few of the public, is
lost without the lecture. In this charm is
included, first, the delight (Which MAIN
tain to be not silly but honorable) of soeing
great men worth the seeing; next, mag
netism of presence; thirdly, those helps,
which even genius, art and erudition can
not despise, TO wit: voice, gestures, pose,
subtle meditation, and, above all, charac-
teristic expression; finally, certain gain
of fresh apprehension of the man, whereby
not only single evenings entertainment
but other books and works may become
luminous with new and clearer meaning.
AT least, 1 know that having once heard a
great man speak in public, 1 never after
wards can divest any of his speeches and
writings from the personal impressions he
has created. I seem to hear his voice, and
inevitably pronounce his books mentally
as he could and would have read them oral
ly. Once let q man hear the twang of Gree
ley, and thereafter tho Tribune's resonant
leaders on protection ring with it, and
the face peers through the type. The tu-
multuous splendor of Phillips, once heard
in "The Lost Arts forever resounds like
Niagara adown the columns of The Anti
Slavery Standard. The less impetuousand
| imprisoned, but rot less skilful and adroit,
platform oratory of Emerson-which illus
trates not so singularly the uses of speech
as of expressive silence-the power of well
measured pauses, carrying, by their con-
trast, Il telling emphasis to every utterancC
this, too, is fatal spell, once heard, an6
| thereafter no sentence of Emerson can bC
read but as he might pronounce it, I say
| that we carry away from the lecture inf
nitely more than the book can give US
namely, the MAINLAND henceforth have cor.
rected our faulty Interpretation of what he
might have meant by the assurance of wha
| he must have meant. When once we have
heard Richard or Ristor cry "Ciel!' We
cannot come upon the word afterwards il

its whispered horror. Now, the lecture is

.NR. BEECHER Or TE.NPBR-
.4.vCE.


At large and enthusiastic meeting of
the friends of temperance in the Church of
the Messiah, n. Y, Mr.. Beecher is report
ed in the Tribune as saying:-
According to the Darwinian theory, man
kind sprouted from the animal kingdom.
and appearances indicate that the human
race has n natural affinity for its former
condition. 1t is most difficult thing to
persuade men to forsake their animal ma
lures. They like to hug their lower pas
sions. Strength increases as we go down
ward, and it decreases as we go upward.
We are engaged with the red dragon him
self when we attempt to cure men OF IN
temperance. Strong drink represents AMI
malism. In America we are weaker, for
we are set to a higher key--concert-pitch
as it were The burly Englishman does
not feel the effects of strong drinks as the
lean Yankee, who Is bundle of nerves.
We live on excitement, and we burn more
wicks than any other people of the same
size. There are great many more apes in
this world than there are in the tropics.
As soon as men get rich in this country
they fill their cellars with wine, though
they do not really like it to drink they do
this because it is fashionable. When men
tell me that wine is good for drunkenness,
l say that if they begin on sbavings they
will soon get to the hickory wood. We are
full of nerves, and it will not do to burn
them out. No man in health needs alco-
holic stimulants and if it is a habit
it is against our real wants. / will
l...t IL l.. I
stimulants but do say.t men in health
do not require alcoholic stimuants. 1t is
the duty of all Christians to take decided
stand on the temperance question. There
are reasons why people should let it be
known that they are for total abstinence.
We have got to shield the young from
temptation we cannot look to the ignor-
ant, nor to those who make money by de-
stroying their fellowmen for help. We
have right to look to church-goers, and
they are bound to abstain from strong drink
And let it be known that they are opposed
to intemperance. There must be an exam
pie set. AS it is, we have to contend not
only against the passions of our young peo-
pie, but against the blighting influences of
AeShiNh' ihp jung man upNH
from the country to get a situation he en-
ters store and is looked on kindly by the
proprietor who has five dollars to dispose
of. In year or 80, he is invited to dine at
the house of the merchants and there,
while his employer and all his guests are
making merry over their wine, he dares
not refuse to drink with the man who has
done so much for him. This is the begin
ming. You have no right, said Mr.. Beech
er, to set trap for young men-to make
your liberty the destruction of others. The
Christian church has the power to suppress
this evil, and 1 appeal for you not to be 81
lent on this question, but to stand out and
show a clean hand. 1t is love that clings
TO man until the end. When memory
has gone and reason fed, the early love is
the last thing which fingers; and it is this
that will finally conquer.

To CLEAN PAINT.-There is a very sim
pie method to clean paint that has become
dirty, and, If our housewives should adopt
it,it would save them great deal of troub-
lie. Provide plate with some of the best
whiting to be had, and have ready some
clean warm water and piece of flannel,
which dip into the water and squeeze near
ly dry; then take as much whiting as will
adhere to it, apply IL TO the painted surface,
when little rubbing will instantly remove
any dirt or grease. After which wash the
part well with clean water, rubbing II dry
with soft fnamols. Paint thus cleaned
looks as well ms when first laid on, without
any injury to the most delicate colors. 1t
is far better than using soap, and does not
require more than half the time and labor,
