Twenty-nine years ago Mr.. Sylvester
HaVens of Hartford, injured his right
eye by small piece of steel that flew
into 1.-THE result of blow. Gradually
the eye began to loose the power got
sight, and finally, many years after the
accident sight was gone altogether. Thus
it continued for fourteen years, causing
no pain. Six weeks ago, however, Mr..
Haven was troubled by swelling in the
inside Of the right nostril, which he at
length punctured, and from it came out
a little bit of steel, of course, the identi-
cal piece that had entered his eye twenty
nine years ago. The sore healed, but
very soon the left eye began to loose the
power of sight, and as occulists assured
him that it was the result Of sympathetic
action from the nerves of the other, eye,
he determined to have the sightless right
eye removed from its socket. This was
done, and the sufferer is now in q dark
ened room, waiting for the time when a
glass eye can be inserted. Curiously
enough, any ray of light that enters the
apartment pains the empty socked of the
departed eye. Even picture with a
gilt frame had to be turned face to the
wall, the reflection of the gilt frame in
5he dark room being painfully percepti-
Die. This constituencies, however, is rap

The Yo-SEMITE.-A correspondent
who has visited California, this season,
writes: The great Yosemite valley pre-
sents a scene of splendor, the present
season, which can only be seen once in
six or seven years. The magnificent sun
poppy (so-called by Californians) is in
bloom, and is the most gorgeous Of all
the flowers in the valley. 1t is Of all
colors, from the brightest scarlet to the
deepest yellow, buff, brown, pink and
white. The mist that is blown from the
numerous waterfalls settles in drops on
every tiny sprig, and at sunrise the land.

the brilliancy or the scene, one imagines
himself viewing some fairy spectacle

not less than a thousand persons have
visited the great falls of the Yosemite,

GUARD AGAINST VULGAR LANGUAGE
There is as much connection between the
words and the thoughts as there is be-
tween the thoughts and actions. The lat
ter is only the expression of the former,
they have power to react upon the soul,
and leave the stain of corruption there.
A young man who allows himself to use
one vulgar or profane word has not only
shown there is foul spot upon his mind,
but by the appearance of that word he
extends the spot, and infames it, till, by
indulgence it will pollute and ruin the
soul. Be careful of your words as of your
thoughts. If you can control the tongue
that no improper words are pronounced
by it, you will soon be able to control the
mind, and save it from corruption. You
extinguish the fire by smothering it, or by
preventing bad thoughts from bursting
into language. Never utter word any.
where which, you would be ashamed to
speak in the presence of the most refined
female or the most religious man. Try
this practice. "a little while and you will
soon have command of yourself

FEEDING HORSES TOO MUCH HAY.-Of
all our domestic ANIMALS there are none
that require more systematic care in feed
ing than the horse. A horse should be
fed regularly and in moderate amount,
and when worked he should be worked
iudiciously. A horse fed in this way
may be kept at moderate cost, and will
be more healthy and perform more work
than if fed highly, or as many are IN the
habit of feeding their horses. Horses
will certainly eat hay enough to injure
them, if they can get it. When hay is
kept constantly before them, horses are
apt to spend their time in throwing it
topsy -turvy in their rack; they soon be-
come dissatisfied with their food, and
lose their usual keen relish for it. The
general practice should be to feed regu
lar three times day.

An old farmer went into store in
New London, Conn, some time ago, and
after purchasing and paying for a small
quantity Of goods went out, leaving his
pocket book open on the counter. One
of the clerks discovered it and very SEN
sibiy resolved to tamper with it. Visit
ing one of his own pockets, he selected
three fifty cent shinplasters, redeemable
200 years after date, IN a new kind OF
bitters. These he sandWiched with the
currency in the pocket.book, which he
returned to the place where he found it,
and patiently awaited results. Before
many minutes elapsed the countryman
rushed in and excitedly inquired about a
"middling good sized wallet-had it
been seen lynn round the store ?" "Hasn't t,
sir" said the clerk. ooh, there it is
now!" exclaimed the man as he caught
sight of it and successfully raked in the
lost sheepskin. On looking over the con-
tents to see if it was all right, he discov-
cred the bitters money, and great was
his grief "Where in thunder did I get
that stuff" said he. "By feugin, that's
tough!'' And he forthwith set out to find
the party who had passed it on him.
The greater part OF the afternoon was
spent in this way, but the poor unfortu-
nate man was unable to accomplish his
object, and went home sadder and poorer
IN his own estimation.

Sow CORN FoDDER-In view of the
short crop of hay, and the prospective
price at which it may be sold the coming
winter, it behooves every farmer to study
the policy of sowing corn fodder in sup.
port of his young stock. All except the
working stock may be kept along In
health and heartiness with corn fodder
during at least all early winter, at com
paratively small cost, and q reasonable
supply daily to mich COWS will aid
largely in the yield of milk. 1t is not
vet TOO late to SOW, but as to growth
probably will not be as large as if sown
q month earlier the seed should be put
on thicker, or say not less than five
bushels to the acre.

in addition to doing the cooking and
homework for large family. She COM
