and move them gently into heaps
or windrows away from dry grass
or fences, and, when dry, burn
them. Biennial weeds, which
will blossom next year, mullens.
thistles, teasels, and multitudes
of perennial ones, may be easily
detected in the dry grass and cut
up with a hoe or spade.
Corn HUsKING should take
place as soon as the grain is hard.
Look to the stacks and see that
none are partly overthrown by
the wind, and that no ears lie on
the ground where they will be-

Save no ears for seed which are
not of medium size, fair, even,
of the standard color, and borne
at least two on the stalk. The

PoTAToEs.-A dry, warm spell
will start potatoes growing, espec-
tally early sorts. All should be
dug at once. We prefer to place
them on the barn floor. or in
some dry out-building, where
they will s.sweat" before bring
ing them into the cellar. When
this cannot be done, place them
in small piles in the field, and
cover with straw or hay for few
days. When the whole heap in
the bins or the cellar becomes
moist from the sweating which
is sure to take place without these
precautions, rot is very likely to
supervene. In digging leave
the potatoes upon the surface
and exposed to the sun long
enough to become dry. Then
go through and pick up only
those of marketable size, larger
than hens egg. Afterwards
pick up the rest, not missing one
if you can help it. A potato as
big as filbert is worth something;
if left in the ground, it may be-
come a nuisance next year.
How TO KEEP CABBAGEs Sue
cEssFULLY.-Every farmer, and in
deed any one who has garden
patch, raises cabbages, but very
few are successful in keeping
them over winter. They should
be allowed to stand until just
before extreme cold weather
sets in. Before it freezes up, dig
a trench four feet wide and ten to
twelve inches deep, and when
perfectly dry place the cabages

earth has frozen somewhat, cover
the whole with litter to keep the

end with an old ak as want'd, ,bein'
careful to close again the hole so

How to Carve,

Carving is a very desirable ac
complishment for both ladies an(
gentlemen, and should be taught
One can not learn it by tuition
but by practice, jointed by ;
small slice of theory. 1t is true
that the French style of serving
the meat sliced is fast banishins
the necessity of carving at the
table of the rich ; but in middle
life where such elegancies are
not practiced, knowledge Of
carving should be a part of a
boys or girls education. How
often do we hear persons say ;"Oh
excuse me, | can't carve | never
tried" Or, ifit be attempted, one
soon finds himself embarrassed.
He grasps the knife and fork des-
perately. He has learned that a
slice of the breast of a turkey is a
dainty; that the wing is good ;
the second joint also; that the
leg is not so good. But it is-not
an easy task to separate them
and he thinks that he would
rather chop wood than to cut
turkey. He does not know that
on the back lies a delicious NOR
sci called the oyster, and the side
bones below the second joint are
considered tibbits. This must be
taught him. Ladies ought espe-
cially to make carving a study /;
at their own home the task often
devolves upon them, and they
should be able to perform it with
ease, and not be forced to accept
the aid of visitors, who would
probably dread the operation.
The platter should be placed so
near the carver that he has full
control over it if far off nothing
can prevent an ungraceful appear
ance. A sharp knife is requisite,
and thin, well tempered blade.
In carving turkey, cut of the wing
nearest to you first, then the leg
and second joint; then slice the
breast until a rounded, ivory
shaped piece appears insert the
knife between that and the bone
and separate them; this is the
incest part of the breast; next
comes the "merry thought" AT
ter this; turn over the bird a little,
and just below the breast YOU
will find the oyster, which you
as you did the inner
breast. This side bone lies be-
side the rump; and the desired
norsel can be taken without sep
arating the bone. Proceed the |
same way with the other side
The fork need not be removed
Turing the whole process. An
experienced carver will dissect a
owl as easy as you can break an
egg or cut a potatoe. He retains
his seat, manrges his hands and
elbows artistically. and is perfect
Y at ease. There is no difficulty
n the matter; it only requires
knowledge and practice, and
hese should be taught in the
amily, each child taking his Or
Ter turn. Chickens and par
ridges are carved in the same
nanner.-Hearth and Home.

The NobIeman's Daughter.

Lord, a nObleman of great
wealth, was a man of the world.
His pleasures were drawn from
his riches, his honors, and his
friends. His daughter was the
idol ofhi heart. Much had been
expended in her education, and
well did she repay, in her intel
lectual endowments, the solici-
tude of her parents. She was
highly accomplished, amiable in
her disposition, and winning in
her manners. They were all
strangers to God. At length Miss
attended a Methodist meet
ing in London, was deeply ava
kened, and soon happily convert
ed. Now she. delighted in the
service of the sanctuary and So
cial religious meetings. The
change was marked by her fond
father with painful solicitude.
To See his lovely daughter thus
infatuated was to him occasion of
deep grief, and he resolved to cor
rect her erroneous notions on the
subject of the real pleasures and
business of life. He placed at
her disposal large sums ofmoney,
hoping she would be induced to
go into the fashions and extrava-
gances of others of her rank, and
leave the religious meetings, but
she faithfully maintained her in
tegrity. He took her on long
and frequentjourney and treated
her in the most engaging manner
in Greer to divert her mind from
religion, but she still delighted
in her Savior After failing in
many projects, which he fondly
anticipated would be etfectual in
subduing the religious feelings
of his daughter, he introduced her
into company in such a manner
that she must either join in the
recreations of the party or give
high offence. Hope filled the
heart of the misguided father as
he saw his snare about to entan-
gle her in its meshes. 1t had been
among his friends that
several young ladies should, on
the approaching festive occasion,
give song, accompanied by the
piano-forte. The hour arrived
the party assembled. Several
had performed their parts to the
great delight of the party, who
were in high spirits. Miss was
now called on for a song, and
many hearts beat high in hope
of victory. Should she decline,
she was disgraced. Should she
comply, their triumph was oom-
pIete. This was the moment to |
seal her fate. With perfect self
possession she took her seat at |
the instrument, ran her fingers
overi keys, and commenced |
playing and singing, in sweet
air, the following words:
No room for mirth or trifiing here,
For worldly hope, or worldly fear,
If life so soon is gone;
II now the Judge is at the door,
And all mankind must stand before
The memorable throne.

Ayers Cathartic Pills,
Medicine.

- Perhaps no one medi-

body as . cathartic,
E nor was ever any be-
fore so universally
A adopted into use, IN
IA every country and
tElWATN among all classes, as
FSy V this mild but efficient
purgatve PHI. The
obvious reason is,
that it Is more relia-
~@@> BILE and far more ef-
fectual remedy than any other. Those who have
tried it, know that it cured them, those who have
not, know that it cures herncighhors and friends;
and all know that what it does once 1t does al
ways-that it never fails through any Ault or neg
glect ofits composition. We have thousands upon
thousands ofcertihcates of their remarkable cures
of the following complaints, but such cures are
known in every neighborhood, and we need not
publish them. Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates containing neither calomel any
deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety
by any body. Their sugar-coating preserves them
ever fresh, and makes them pleasant to take, while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise fron
their use In any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal vscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy action-remove the distinctions
the body, restoring their irregular action to health,
and by correcting, wherever they exist, such de-
rangements as are the first origin Of disease.
Minute directions are given In the wrapper on
the box for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:-
For DysPepsia or Indfgession, Lissless.
ness, Langu0r and Loss Of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stoul
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complains and its various symp-
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Head.
ache, Jaundice or Green Sickness, Ril.
iOus Collie and Bilious Revers, they should
be judciously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhaea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For Rheumatism, G0ut, Gravel, Pal.
pifatiOn of the Heart, Pain IN the
Side, Back and Loins, they should be contin-
nously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For Dropsy and Dropsfcal swellinss
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression large dose should be
taken as it produces the desired effect by SYM
pathy.
As Dinner PHI, take one or two Pius to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action restores the appetite,
and nvlgorates the system. Hence IL Is often adj
