BEER.-Brewing is an ancient do
nestle art, and therefore has long
been popular beverage. Beer slim
ulates, but those addicted to drink
ing it are not often found in a state
of intoxication. But we very fire.
quently discover them dull and stu
pid. The hops are supplying them
selves but when drugs are intro
duced, and the narcotic thus made
more positive, there is not much to
be said in praise of loudly Wanted
lager. Brewers are not the most
honest people in the world, and as
beer drinking is becoming so general
amcng our people, il is difficult to
estimate how much villainous stuff is
retailed every year. There seems
to be little protection for the stom-
ach, for the moment we begin to con-
sumo pleasant beverage on grand
scale the manufacturers of the bower
age cOnspire to poison us. The sad
dest Of wrecks are those stepped in
idiocy by the soothing breath of mar
cotics and malt liquors, as now
manufactured and sold, are strongly
tuctured with narcotics. The fact
is not pleasant to contemplate,
nevertheless it is true. Ale, as q
general thing, is not so supplying IS
beer, for 1t has a smaller proportion
Of hops to star. with, ard the temp
tations to drug it are not SO power
full. Pale ale is regarded as more
wholesome than brown ale, for the
reason it is brewed from malt slight

"Undisprivacied."

"Undisprivacied |" What word !!
It's the newest thing out in Boston.
Mr.. Lowell has, with great labor and
sweat, with theAtdntic Monthly for a
fulcrum, and very long poem, en-
titled The Cathedral-Iucus anon

of the Charles River, and dropped it,
with polysylable crash, into the tide

DEYoMINATIoN OxEN.-A gentle
man travelling in Texas, met on the
road wagon drawn by four oxen,
driven by a countryman, who, in
addition to the skilful flourish and
crack of his whip, was viciferously
encouraging his horned horses, after
this fashion "Haw, Presbyterian I"
Gee, Baptist" whoa, Episcopa-
liam !" Get up, Methodist |" The
traveller stopped the driver, remark
ing 10 him that he had stia nge names
for his oxen, and that he would like
to know why he thus called them
Said the driver: 81 call this OK Pres
byterian, because he is true blue and
never fails, pulls through difficulties,
and holds out to the end besides, he
knows more than the rest. | call
this Baptist, because he is always af-
ter water, and seems as though he'd
never drink enough; then again he
won't eat with the others. l call
this OK Episcopalisn, because he has
a mighty way of holding his head up,
and if the yoke gets little too tight
he tries to kick and draws clear out
of the track. l call this OK Metho-
dist, because he puffs, and blows, and
bellows, as he goes along, and you'd
think he was pulling all creation, but
he don't pull pound unless you can
continually stir him up"

Feeding Potatoes to Hogs.

An Iowa correspondent of the
Western Rural writes that paper as
follows:
| didn't like the idea of hauling
my potatoes fifteen miles to mark ct
and selling them for % cents per
bushel, so l commenced feeding
them to my tatteniug hogs raw
The hogs appeared to be very fond
of them at first, but they soon COM
menced to "mince over thsm" (made
their teeth sore | suppose.) | then
boiled and mashed them, one bucket
of bran to three of potatoes, adding
water enough to make thick slop.
| gave them this mixture three times
day, and little corn in the ear. at
the same time. The hogs have fat
tened much faster with this feed than
they did VIXEN | feed them all the ia "
corn they would eat with bran slop 10
drink. don't think they would do
better on any potatoe market this
year. Of course it is not necessary
TO mash the potatoes to get the hogs
to eat them, but | think to mash
them with bran they will do better
on it-especislly in warm or mild
weather-than they would if given
alone.

The Man Who Will Live Long.

He has . proper and well-propor-
toned str AZURE, without, however be-
ing to tall. He is.rather of the mid
die size and somewhat thick-set.-
His complexion is not too fiorid ; at
any rate, too much ruddiness in youth
Is seldom sign of longevity. His
hair approaches to the fair rather
than to the black. His skin is strong
but not rough. His head is not too
big; he has largo veins in the ex-
tremities; his sholders are round
rather than fiat; his neck is not too
long his abdomen does not project
his hands are large but not deeply
cleft his foot is rather thick than
long and his legs are firm and round.
he has broad, arched chest,
strong voice. and the faculty of re-
tanning his breath for long time
without difficulty. There is harmo-
ny in oil his parts. His senses are
good but not too delicate his pulse
IL slow and regular. His stomach is
excellent bis appetite good, and di-
gestion easy. The joys of the table
are not to him of Importance they
tune his mind to serenity. and his
soul partakos in the pleasures which
they communicate. He does not eat
merely for the sake OF eating, but
each meal is an hour of daily iestivi-
ty. lie eats slowly, and has not too
much thirst the latter being always
a sign of rapid selEconsumption. He
is serene, loquacious, active, suscep-
tible ofjoy, love and hope, but insen-
slole TO the impressions of hatred,
anger and avarice. His passions
never become violent or destructive.
If ever he gives way to anger, he
experiences rather useful glow of
warmth, an artificial aud gentle fe-
yer, without an Overlooking of the
bile. He is fond also Of EN- ployment
particularly calm meditation and
agreeable speculations. He is an
optimist, friend to nature and do
nestle felicity. He has no thirst az
ter honor or riches, and banishes all
thought of tomorrow Hweland the

A FEARFUL lNvENTIoN.-The VAL
lejo Chronicle of the Both ult. gives
the following account of the inven-
ton of young man of that city:
Thomas Hill, ESQ.,, young me-
chanic of this place, has constructed
models of two inventions which he
proposes to patent. He has con-
structed hollow steam ram for per-
forating ironclads or other vessels
in time of war 1t punches hole in
the sides of a vessel under water six
teen inches in diameter, is immsdi-
ately withdrawn, and a shell or ter
pedo can then be fired through a
hollow cylinder. The utter destruc-
ton of an opposing vessel is insured.
The machinery works by steam, and
the ram is designed to be driven out
sixteen feet with striking force
equal to 5000 tons, when after PEN
etrating the vessel, it will be imme-
diately withdrawn. A vessel could
be honeycombed below the water
line so full of holes that it would be
impossible TO prevent sinking. A
careful examination of the model
assures us that it will accomplish the
purposes sought for, if such de-
structive weapon Of war should ever
be built.

Two Curious Needles.

The King of Prussia recently visit
ed a needle mandatory in his king
dom, In order to see what machin-
cry, combined with the human hand.
could produce. He was shown a
number of superfine needles. thous-
ands OF which together did not weigh
bali an ounce, and marveled how
such minute objects could be pierced
with an eye. But he was to see that
10 this respect even something still
liner and more perfect could be Gre
ated. The borer-that is, the work
man whose business it ia to bore the
eyes IN these needles-asked for q
hair from the mcnareh's head. 1t
was readily given, and with smile.
He placed it at once under the boring
machine, made hole in it with the
greatest care, furnished with q
thread, add then handed the singular
needle To the astonished King.
The second curious needle is in
the possession Of Queen Victoria. 1t
was made at the celebrated needle
mandatory at Reddish, and repre-
sents the column of Trajan in nina
ture. This well known Roman col
umn is adorned with numerous scenes
in sculpture, which immortalize Ira
jams heroic actions in war. On this
dlminutive needle scenes in the life
of Queen Victoria are represented in
relief, but SO finely cut and so small
that it requires magnifying glass
to see them. The Victoria needle
can, moreover, be opened; it contains
a number of needles of smaller size,
which are equally adorned with
scenes in relief.

Sore IhrOat-Winter is the season
for attacks of sore throat, diptheria
&C., among children. The throats OF
all young children should frequently
be examined by pressing the tongue
down with the handle of a spoon,
and carefully inspecting the back 81
the mouth and throat When sore,
swab made OF "a rag tied to a stick
should be made, and dipped in q tine
tnre of muriate of iron and water,
equal parts, and well swabbed ont
every half hour through the day, and
the last thing at night before going
to bed.
Diptheria or putrid sore throat is
frightful yet very common disease
now, and very fatal if allowed TO run
few days. When immediately ia
ken in hand, as above directed, it can
always be conquered.
OdorS.-Kettles may be cleansed
of onions and other odors by dissolv.
ing teaspoonful of pearlash or sal.
erstus in water and washing them.
