A Word 70 Husbands.

Make allowances for your wifes share OF the
great inheritance of human nature. Do not
expect her to smile in unmoved serenity when
children are ungovernable, servants in high
rebellion, and husband comes home cross and
hungry. If she is little petulsnt, do not
bang doors by way Of soothing her temper
Just remember pleasant word or two, the
touch Of kindly hand, or the light ofa pity
ing eye will act like oil on the troubled waters
Even men are known to get cut of patience
sometimes therefore be not atstonished at wo-
mans occasional laps Of sclf-control Do not
suppose it at ell derogatory to your dignity TO
remember the smSll, sweet courtesies of life
where your wife is concerned. Why should
man be ashamed Of poiteness to his own wife
when the would step forward in an instant to
render ike service TO another lady? Because
a man has married woman, does it necessari-
" follow that thenceforward he is cxonerated
from the duties Of ordinary civility toward her?
By all the wedding rings in christendom, no.
If your wife pin fresh rosebud in your but
ton-hole when you go forth to business in the
morning, be careful to present her with heart
ease on your return at night. Some men grow
suddenly ashamed of an unassuming pot Of
fragrant mgnonette, if wealthy friepd hap
pens to present them with few flowers from
his conservatory, and hide II away in some OBJ
scure corner to make room for the brilliant but
scentless exotics Wives are not uufrequentiy
treated after similar fashion and perhaps II
would be well for their fastidious lords and
masters" to jot down the following lines upon
the tables Of their memories
As the myrtle, whose perfume enriehes the bower,
Is prized far beyond cen the gaudisst flower;
Soa wife, who a household can skilfully rule,
Is Jewel Of price 20 all men-save fool.

A Bee Battle.

A gentleman in Canada gives history Of q
battle between two swsrms Of bees few days
ago. One swarm, he says. took forcibls pos
session Of their nsighbors' barracks, and as the
attacked defended their rights, f6riohs Gght
commenced, and the battle ragged from Al to 0
P. II. Next morning, as the sun appeared,
.bs battle was resumed, the marauden appear
ing not in good condition, yet showing great
pluck. The carnage continued without
internission till 10 A. M., when hundreds OF
dead bodies lay on the plain. At II the bat
tie ended. when there was not one Of the at
tacking party left to tell the tale.

Dat ChaE for Feed.

a year or two ago we were, by accident, led
10 feed some oat chaff to few head Of milking
cows and we were sgreeably surprised to find
that they suddenly came up considerably in
their milk The chaf was discontinued for a
day or two, when the COWS fell off to their for
mer quantity but on feeding the chsff again,
the flow increased. Since then the value Of
oat cbaff as a milk producer has been satisfac-
torially proved by US. This would then make
it advisable that when cats are threshed the
chaff should be saved for feed 1t may be fed
in the place of cut chaf, with the usual wet
ting, sailing, and mixing of the regular allow
ance of meal. In years when hay is as scarce
as in the present, not only the chaff may be fed,
but the oat straw should be carefully saved for
fodder. 1t is quite as nutritious as timothy
that has gone to seed.-HeGrh and Home.

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

'Trasths nigbtbefore Christmas, when all through
the house
Not creature was stirring, not even a mouse,
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In homes that ST. NICHOLAS soon would be there !
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions OF sugar plums danced through their
heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and l in my cap,
Had inst settled our brain. for long winters nap
when out on the lawn there rose such clatter,
| snrang from nv bed TO see what was the matter /;
Awsy 20 the window few like fash,
Tore omen the shutters, and threw up the sasn.
The moon on the breast of the new-failen snow,
Gave the lustre Of midday to objects below;
When, what 20 my wondering eyes should appear,
Rut , miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver, so lively and quick,
knew in a moment il must be SAINT MEX.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted, and called them by
name:
Now, DdskerI now, Ddneeri now, frdheef
and Vtreni
On. coniti on, Cupid on, Donder on, B'itsen I
To the top Of the porch to the top of the wall
Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all
A. dry leaves that before the wild hurricane ny,
When they meet with an obstacle, mountto the SKY,
So up 10 the hou.e-top the courscrs they new,
With sleigh full Of toys-and 81. Nicholas too
And then in twinking, heard on the root,
The prsncing snd paving of each little hoof.
As drew in nv head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney 81. Nicholas came with bound
He WAS dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot
And his clothes we're all furnished with ashes and
sOOtl
A bundle Of TOYS he had flung on his back,
And he looked like pedler just opening his pack !;
His eyes--how they twinkledl his dimpie' now
merryi
Hi, cheeks we're like roses his nose like cherry
His droll little mouth WAS drawn mp like bow,
And the beard of his chin was IS white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, i,
And the smoke il encircled his head likea wreath.
He had broad face and little round belly,
That shook when he laughd, like bowl full Of
jelly. :,
He was chubby and plump; right jolly old ell,
And laughed, when saw him, In spite OF myself.
A wink Of his eve, and twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know had nothing to dread.
He spoke not word but went straight to his work,
And filled sl the stockings turned with sjerk,
And LAYING his finger aside Of his nose,
And giving nod, up the chimney he rose.
he sprsng to bis sleigh, TO his team gave whistle,
Aud away they all few, like the down of thistle.
But heard him exclsim, ere he drove out Of sight,

CURE FOR NERuRALGIA-Af friend Of ours,
says the Lynchburg Republican, who suffered
horrible torture from neuralgia, hearing Of a
noted rhysician'in Germany, who invariably
cured that disease, crossed the ocean and visit
ed Germany for treatment. He was perma-
nently cured after q short sojourn, and the doc
tor freely gave him the simple remedy used,
which vas nothing but a poultiee and tea made
from our common field thistle. The leaves
are mscerated and used on the parts affected
SIS poultice while a small quantity Of the
leaves are boiled down in the proportion of a
quart to pint, and a small wine glass of the
decocticn drank before each meal. Our friend
says be has recommended it far and near, and
has never known it to fail OF giving relief,
while in almcst every case it has effected cure.
II is certainly worth trial.

1t has been accertained By chemists tha. scur-
w will never arise from ths use Of salt proyis-

salt alone answers the purpose. provided that

the animal beat, and before decomposition or
taint commences around the bone. The fluid
running from the meat should 10 poured Of

This should be done sufficiently close to ad-
NIT no unnecessary quantity Of air, and should
bs filed up with dry salt. and then strong
brine, not water. should be added. Great care
should be taken to fiTl the barrel entirely full,

project absvs the surface Of the fluid, for it
will become tainted and spoil tho whole.

and will even have Il profitable in
come.
This is Il great corn and wheat
country also. Some farmers made as
much as 10 bushels orn and 80 to 10
bushels of wheat per acre last year,
and all will tell that their land does
not bring ms much grain the first and

account of so much vegetation decay

yield.
This is q line stock country also.
Soil from two to six feet deep-that

FOREIGN NEWS.

NEW YORK, March 4.-The Worlds
Bank of England has advanced the
rate of discount per cent, and says
that the cotton markets are in a state
of decentralization. Bordering on u
Panic.
The advance in the rate Of discount
is a precautionary measure, in the
event of n sudden and great with
drawal of money from the London
market, where it has been deposited
for safety by persons on the continent
of Europe during the war.
The decline in the price and tend
ency to the panic in the cotton mark
ct in Liverpool and New York is
caused by the notification that loans
will he returned by spectators who
are overloaded with cotton.
1t is stated that the Greek mer
chants in Europe are carrying u very
heavy load of cotton, and there is no
doubt that they will be forced to sell
and realize, from the action of the
bank.
The Worlds article continues.

has been frequently illustrated in the
past, and cites how the bank crushed
the Greek speculation in grain not
many years ago and the financial cri-
sis and panic which resulted there
from. No doubt the bank of Eng
land commenced the policy of con
traction in its accommodations to all
foreign firms and spectators who are
likely to weaken its reserve of coin
and create a more active demand for
foreign bills of exchange in the New
York market. Owing to kilograms
from firms in Europe to their cores
pondents here for remittances to
strengthen themselves against this
eventuality, the decline in the price
of cotton, within the last twenty
four hours, is equal to nine millions
of dollars loss on the entire cotton
crop of the South.
