Wedding Toilets in 1870.

Brides and bridegrooms of 1871 may
be amused by the description of the
toilet of couple on their wedding day
one hundred years ago. To begin with
the lady, her locks were strained up
ward in an immense cushion, that sat
like an incubus upon her head, and
plastered over with pomatum, and then
sprinkled over with white powder. The
height of this tower was somewhat
over foot. One single white rosebud
lay on it's top, like an eagle on hay
stack. Over her neck and on her bo.
som was folded lace handkerchief,
fastened in front with a bosom-pin,
rather larger than copper cent, con-
tanning her grandfather's miniature .set
in virgin gold. She was braced up in
satin dress, the sleeves as tight as the
natural skin on her arm, with waist
formed by bodice, worn outside,
whence the skirt flowed off and was
fastened at the top by an ample loop.
Shoes of white kid, with peaked toes,
and heels of two or three inches eleva-
ton, inclosed her feet and glittered
with spangles as her little pedal mem
bers peeped curiously out. Now for
the swain. His hair was sleeked back
and plentifully befoured, while his
queue projected like the handle to
skillet. His coat was sky blue silk
lined with yellow, his long vest of
satin embroidered with gold lace, his
breeches of the same material, and
tied at the knee with pink ribbons
White silk stockings and pumps with
laces and ties of the same hue COM
pleted the habiliments of his neither
limbs. Lace rufles, clustered around
the wrist, and portentous frill work
ed in correspondence, and bearing the
miniature of his beloved, finished his
truly genteel appearance.

Cruelty to Sheep.

Many of the wool growers wintered
their focks poorly last winter on the
ground that they could not afford to
feed them well, and probably have done
the same this winter. This, in our
opinion is cruel and suicidal policy.
Less returns are thus obtained from
given amount of food. Thirty half
starved sheep will produce less good
merchantable wool than twenty proper
ly kept ones; will lose twice or three
times as many by death; and will not
raise half as many lambs And what
farmer possessing a spark of humanity
is willing to see these poor defenseless
animals slowly growing thinner and
weaker-all of them tottering before
March closes many of the in-lambed
ewes incapable of raising with their
burthen, and dying in parturition. A
more painful spectacle of brute suffer
ing than a flock in such condition
near the close of winter, cannot be
witnessed, and we believe that moral
ity has a voice in this matter as well as
humanity.
Every flock master who has more
sheep than he can keep properly or sell,
should kill the surplus when winter
sets in, if he gets nothing from them
but the pelts.-Dr. Randall IN Rural
NeaO Yorker.

A RUMoR comes across the ocean that

A RUMoR comes across the ocean that
Baron Haussman is to rebuild Rome.
This startling report, whether true or
false, will cause regret to the lovers of
classical antiquities. For under Hauss-
mans rule, the Rome of the Caesars
and Pontitfs will disappear to make
room for a second edition of Louis Ma
poleon's Paris. st. Peters will prob
ably be treated to Mansard roof, and
the Vatican raised a cew stories; the
Coliseum will in all probability be de-
molished as useless ruin, while Cas5le
ST. Angelo will be constructed on mod
ern ideas of what fort ought to be.
All these, if the Alsatian planner of
cities, regardless of expense, is really
going to revamp Rome, which we do
not believe The report of this pro-
posed desecration of the Eternal City
has probably been put in circulation by
some cunning enemy of Victor Eman-
uel.
WHEN Daniel Webster was advised
not to enter the legal profession because
it was already crowded, he replied,

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Preserve the Young Forest Trees.

Preserve the Young Forest Trees.
In almost every part of our country it
is the common practice to pasture the
lot which contains the reservation of
growing timber. Sheep, cattle and
horses eat every young tree as it starts
from the seed, SO that in few years
when the old trees are gone, none will
be growing to take their places. AS
man raises lambs, calves and colts to
perpetuate his live stock, SO he or his
will find it necessary to pre-
serve the young trees. Look out for
the wood-lot. If you have farm desti-
tute of growing timber, plant young
trees and take good care of them. By
so doing you will show love for your
country, and wise foresight for the COM
ing generation. n.-E,rcha,age

TO A YOUNG PHI sICIAN.
By JOHN G. WHITTIER.

The paths of pain are thine Go forth
With healing and with hope;
The suffering of sin-sick earth
Shall give thee ample scope
>,Inlte down the dragons, fell and str ong,
Whose breath Is fevef~ire;
No knight of fable or of song
Encountered foes more dire
The holiest task by heaven decreed,
An errand all divine,
The burden of our mortal need
To render less is thine. ~
No crusade thine for cross or grave
But for the living man.
= Go forth to succor and to save
All that thy skilled hands can.
Before the unveiled mysteries
Of life and death, go stand
With guarded lips and reverent eyes,
And pure of heart and hand.
So shalt thou be with power endued
From him who went about
The Syrian hill-paths, doing good
And casting devils out.
That holy helper iveth yet,
Thy friend and guide to be
The healer by Genesaret
Shall walk the rounds with thee
-TStton's Golden Age.

Plant Exhaustion.

A correspondent Of the Mobile Regis
ter says that common sense teaches,
that, after plant has exhausted itself
in the production of crop, it needs
recuperation. 1t is demand of nature
that cannot be disregarded with impu-
nifty. Therefore as soon as the straw
berry crop has been removed, every
thing calculated to rob the crop of it's
legitimate food must be destroyed, and
an additional supply provided. Either
remove or plough or spade in all the
grass, cultivate thoroughly, apply
good dressing of some appropriate fer
tilizer; keep the ground mellow during
the summer, and clip off all the runners
as fast as they appear. The next fall
the plants will strong and healthy, and
the reward will be a heavy crop of fruit
the ensuing season.
