The Invalid.-A PEN ss,.<uo

See her pallid countcnancc. Init sbor+
time ago the picture of ruddy health tho
envy Of the school and the pride of the honso
hold. She was always welcomed by her
schoolmatcs, for her 1.-the form and PLEASING
disposition carried chccrfulncss into their
ranks. Di!igcnt, punctual and exemplary,
obcdicnt and graceful at homc she won the
hearts of all. But, alas, we are sorrowed
Those rosy cheeks and ruddy lips arc
hlanchcd by Consumption. The voice once SO
enchanting in laugh and song is feeble, husky,
ana supplantcd by hollow cough. Let us
approach her couch gently and take her hand.
DO not sluddcr because of the feeble and pas
slonless grasp. The hand once so hearty and
plump is emaciated, and shows long outlines,
while the cords and tortuous veius are plainly
mapped npon the surface. The pulse that
bounded with rcplction, carrying vigor to
the whole system and impartiDg lie, beauty,
vivacity, health and strength, is delicate to
the touch. The feeble heart cannot propel
the thin scanty blood with force. Must we
lose her while yet i'll her teens? Compan-
ions and friends gather around with words of
cheer and consolation, and depart with
moistencd eyes and silent steps. Must we
lose her? No! there is relief! We can stay
this destroyer of our happiness and not suf-
fer the loss of so bright a gem. Something
morcis required now than dietary and hygicnic
observance, for nature calls for aid and she
shall have it. Take this pleasant medicine.
It's lnvigorating. How it allays the irrita-
bic cough, improves the appetite and diges-
ton, and sends healthy Jingle through the
frame. The blood is enriched, nervous force
increased, and the heart bounds with a new
impulse. See her face brighten by degrees :;
the color is returning her voice is getting
clearer, and pleasant words are spoken. The
strength falters yet, but is gaining Let us
take her out in the warm sunshine. In a
short time she will be able to go without our
aid, cheerful girl This delightful medicine
must be God blessed. 1t is restoring health
to our loved one. She is emerging from her
sickness sweeter and nobler than BEFORE and
Dr. Piorcc's GOLDEN Medical Discovery must
have the credit. 1t has raised her. Sold by
all first class druggists everywhere. 5S2

Butter.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Lcwistown
(Me.) Journal says: "The local requisites
for the manufacture of good butter are
air, wholesome water, and sufficiency Of
sweet, nutritious heritage. Fresh, rich,
juicy feed will enhance both the quality
and quantity of milk and butter The
requisites named belong, generally, to some
what elevated or billy districts, rather
than to those of an opposite character.
A rolling, elevated country, billy often
times, Astounding in springs Of soft water,
and drained by clear ripping streams flow
ing over gravelly beds, constitute the pre-
dominating character of the best dai1ying
districts of Vermont, New York and the
Middle States, 30 famous for their dairy
products On such lands the best and
sweetest natural grasses obtain, and per-
haps half dozen more different varieties
abound, in themselves full of the best
milk producing qualities In nearly all of
our billy pastures the white or Dutch
clover abounds, the presence of which in.
dicates good range for COWS.
Another essential is change of PAS
ture: This, 1 believe, is contrary to the
teachings Of some, but think where prac.
ticable it is the better way to give the
COWS change of range every ten days or
so. Fresh pastures are clean, the grass is
even, full and nutritious, and the animals
will fill themselves and then lie down and
digest their food in quietness A pasture
long run over becomes soiled with the
drOppings and treadings of the COWS upon
it. A better flow of milk follows change
into new pasture than continuance on
an old one, and it is more economical.
Turning Oft from close-fed pasture, the
rains bring 1t up anew, and in few days
or weeks 1t is ready for the COWS again,
while the one last fed again grows up to
supply its place, when that is exhausted
During the latter part of July, and gen.
orally through August, the feed in the pas
lures gets short. The deficiency may be
made up wholly or in part, at least, by ex-
ira feed from drilled corn or second crop
grass from the moving field.
Cows, to yield the best returns, should
always have ready access to plenty of
good water This is almost INDISPENSABLE,
Tor it is impossible to make good butter
without good supply of pure water.
Those having pastures where the water
fails in dry time have probably observed
how rapidly their COWS shrink in their
milk when water is scarce and the animals
do not get their usual supply When we
consider that about eighty-seven parts of the
constituents of milk arc water, COW that
gives large quantity of milk would re-
quire good supply to keep up uniform
flow of milk. 1t would be far better to
induce them to take all the water they
will, than to have them put upon short al
lowance. That 1d1cing cows to drink large
quantities Of water will increase the flow
of milk is certain; but to what extent the
quantity of milk may be increased with
cut detriment to the quality, by inducing
the animal to take an abundant supply Of
liquid, l am not prepared to say. But
am satisfied that milk of good quality may
be increased by this method.

Fishing fur Bass.

A STRANGE story is told ON board Of the
st oamcr City Of Hartford, which runs up
the Connecticut River from her landing at
Peck Slip in this city. While she was
lying at Pratt's Ferry, few days ago,
waiting for messenger from Hartford
(says the Hartford Z1mes), the second mate
thought he would Improve the time by
fishing for bass. So he got out his line
and hook, and bait, and made everything
ready-iigh1cd d cigar, and, casting line
into the water, sat down patiently to wait
the result. On board was a young color
ed boy, one of those anphibious Kanakas
who colne to San Francisco from the
Sandwich Islands, and eventually turned
up as a boat hand On the City of Hartford
Like all Of his amphibious race, he can re-
main long time under tue water He
took it into his head to play II joke upun
the mate; and divesting himself OF lis
clothes, he jumped into the water on the
opposite size .i the boat front where the
mate sat, hopefully bnt dr"aniiy awaiting
a "bite." Presently that official was
startled by % strong PULL and long
pull" at his line. His slumhs rlng eyes
opened wide, his breath came fast and
thick, for he thought he had captured one
OF the biggest Of tho "hiu" bass which
abound in the river. He attempted to
pull in his hook, but 1t resisted all his
efforts! Then he Thought he would
"play" the fish for . little while; and so
he would let out a few fathoms of line,
and then draw in again. This was repeat
ed several times, until finally the boy,
thinking he had carried the joke far
enough, held on to the line and came to
surface 18th it, just at the time the mate,
with bigger eyes than he ever exhibited in
al his life before, expected to land big
fish, ard so shouted tn the men on deck.
The establishment Of that Of fish al can be
better imagined than expressed when he
saw the wooIly cocoa nut head and r'lliug
eyes Of the Kanaka emerge from the
waves! At first ne thought h. had caught
tho "dev!! fish" t}As Victor Hugo wrote
about; then be didn't know what it was;
but finally ns the boy, h,ubbering aad
blowing like porpo!s", struck out for the
boat, and the laughter Of some Of the
hands who were in the joke rang in his
ears, h; acknowledged himself Sold" and
treated all round. This good story is in
every particular a true one.-N. r. Conn.,

How to Giye Children an Appetite.

GIVE children an abundance of out door

upon plain, nourishirg food, and they will
seldom, il ever, complain Of lack of ap-

school, confined closely to- the house the
rest OF the time, 1rOWning every attcmpta at

ed food, clnu!es nuts, etc. allow them to
eat between meals, and in the evening, and
you need not exp, ct them to have good
appetltes On the contrary, you may expect
they will be pale, weak and sickly.
Don't cram them with food when they
don't wait or have no appetite for it-such
