rHE nospLUssrD LANDLORD.

Ferrin, the landlord of the West
minister Hotel, in New York, is not
often nonplussed, but last August a
dapper little Frenchman staggered
him for a moment. Walking up to
the Office he accosted Ferrin with:
g If you please, Monsieur, you shall
send bill de fire in my room"
"A what !" said Ferrin, looking at
the thermometer, which indicated
ninety-two degrees.
81 wish re bill de fire in my apart
ment," replied the Frenchman.
" All right, SIR" said Ferrin, with
that outward imperturability with
which the true hotel-keeper receives
an order for anything, If it be gold
dust pudding with diamond plums.
John fire in 10,00l."
Yes, sur-r-rw said John and by
the time the Frenchman had arrived
at his room, John, with perspiration
pouring off of him, had the crate
filled, and a blaze roaring up the
chimney like mad.
"Vat re diable you do?" said the
astonished foreigner.
Built fire, sir, as We ordered,
replied the other exile.
Fire be tam !" said the French
man. 81 shall roast myself wiz re
heat!" and, rushing down stairs, he
appeared at the office with inflamed
| face and moistened shirt collar, ex-
Fclaiming: :" ask you not for re fire.
| What think I wish te make myself
more hot, eh? call for bill de fire
re bill, re carte, so can eat myself
wiz my dinaire."
"Bill of fare? Oh! yes, sirw said
Ferrin. q beg your pardon" And
he politely passed out the programme
for the day, but deputed one of the
garcons of the restaurant to answer
any further orders from the subject ei

MAY EVENING.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

The breath of spring, this twilight hour.
Comes through the gathering glooms,
And bears the stolen sweets of many flower
Into my silent rooms.
Where hast thou wandered, gentle gale to find
The perfumes thou dost bring2
By brooks, that through the Weakening meadows
wind,
Or brink of rushy spring.
Or woodside, where, in little companies,
The early wild flowers rise,
Or sheltered lawn, where, mid enclrcllng trees
Mays warmest sunshine lies?
Now sleeps the humming bird, that, in the sun
Wandered from bloom to bloom;
Now, too, the weary bee, his days work done,
Rests in his waxen ROOM
Now every lowering insect to his place
Beneath the leaves has flown;
And, through the long night hours, the howery
Are left to thee alone.
O'er the pale blossom of the sassafras
And DER the spice bush spray,
Among the opening buds, thy breathings pass,
And come embalmed away
Yet there is sadness in the soft caress,
Wind of the blooming yearl
The gentle presence that was wont to bless
Thy coming is not here.
Go, then; and yet bid thee not repair,
Thy gathered sweets to shed,
Where pine and willow. in the evening air.
Sigh o'er the buried dead
Pass on to homes where cheerful voices sound,
And cheerful looks are cast.
And where thou wakest, in thine airy round,
No sorrow of the past
And whisper, everywhere. that earth fenews
Her beautiful array,
Amid the darkness and the gathering dews,
For the return of day

LICE ON CATTLE.
BY j. WILKINSON, BALTIMORE, MD.

Very few farmers have an idea of
the immense cost of wintering ice.
A lousy animal will consume about
one fourth more food than one of the
same size which is free from them,
and will lose flesh continually hence
no stock keeper can afford to allow his
animals to be lousy, particularly as the
remedy, certain one, is so simple and
inexpensive.
When any of the herd are found to
be infested with lice, apply the reme-
dy at once to the whole herd, for one
lousy animal will soon stock a large
number. The remedy is simply this
Apply dry wood ashes to the animal
from head to tail. The most conven-
lent mode of application known to
the writer is, to attach light wood
en- hoop seive with a wire-cloth bot
tom, with meshes about an eighth OF
of an inch, to the end of light tough
pole, say ten feet in length, and with
it apply the ashes by sitting over the
animal his entire length.
Two or three quarts is sufficient for
one application on large animal.
/ have found the remedy most act
i've and efficient when I applied it as
soon after the animals were thorough
ly dry, after rain, that. the ashes may
not be washed off by rain for several
days after it is applied; but four OF
five days after an application, it is de-
sirable to expose the animal to 9
drenching warm rain. AS soon as the
hair is dry, apply again and treat as
before. A third application is gener.
ally sufficient, and have never known
the fourth to fail. Four to six days
should intervene between the appli
cations, as the nits hatch in from five
to eight days, according to the posi-
ton they occupy on the animal.
The ashes of hard woods, those con
tanning most alkali, are the best. Tht
ashes of pine wood will not destroy
lice.
The stables should be thoroughly
cleansed, and the floor as well as til,
walls limewashed. every time tn,
ashes are washed off by rain, until the
vermin are thoroughly eradicated.
No farmer can afford to feed lous,
cattle, and cattle often lose condition
from this cause before the owner i
aware of its existence.
If an animal is lousy, the lice ma,
be found around the eyes, ears ant
nose, and on each side of the briskit
between the fore legs.-Practico
Farmer.

THE Helena Gazette tells story OF
a young man of that city, who spent a
few months in st. Louis last winter.
It says that one cold day he walked in
to the Southern Hotel, and, looking
in vain for a stove, asked the clerk il
there was no place where he could
warm himself. The clerk, smiling Ur-
banely, escorted the Colonel to a reg
lister and told him to stand on the
CRATE and he would soon get warm
The Colonel was much pleased. La
ter in the day, while perambulating
about the city, becoming rather chilly
he espied coal CRATE in the sidewalk.
Here, he thought, was another heat
er," and he would improve the op-
portunity by warming his feet. A
few minutes later passer-by heard
him calculate: ".These things may
do very well for hotel, but they amt
worth a d-n to warm the city,"

TRUSTY FARM HANDS.

Amy man who goes into the employ
ment of another, should take his posi-
tion with the determination of making
the connection between himself and
employer one ofsmutual benefit. Farm
hands are liable TO lose all but self
ish interest, and make their chief OBJ
ject to pass away their time and re-
ceive their money. The objection is
not usually an unwillingness on the
part of the employe to perform suffi-
cient labor, but lack of carefulness
and perfect trust.
Some hired men are too sensitive
and appear unwilling to be instructed
in the performance of any job, others
are willing TO do any way suggested,
right or wrong, and to execute it in
the quickest possible manner, regard
less of result. Now these faults are
both unpleasant and improbable to
the parties concerned. A hired man
should become as one of the farmers
family, ,and make his employers inter-
est his own, and show himself trust
worthy.
1t makes no difference how much
muscular strength a man may possess,
or how much labor he may be able to
perform, IF he cannot be trusted out
of sight with the care of stock, the use
of a team, or the performance of any
job of work, he cannot obtain wages
the year through, equal to those of a
STRIPPING youth who is honest and vig-
liant.
A farmer wishes to know when the
"barn chores" are finished, that the
cattle and horses are all in their prop
or places, and made secure, and that
they are plentifully but not wastefully
fed; that when the team is away upon
the road, it is well cared for !; that bars
fences, &C., are left in good order after
passing through them; that gates and
barn doors are closed at night; that
axes, wedges, hoes, and other tools
are laid up in their places. There is
satisfaction in having man about
the farm who will attend to all these
matters with as much care as if they
were his own, and hired man of this
sort need never search for position
or work for common wages, he will
always stand at premium, and the
only trouble he will have will be to
accommodate all who wish to secure
his services.
It requires no more outlay of
strength, no more time, only an exer-
else of care to do work right, and by
this study to do things as they should
be done, habits are formed, and theo-
ries are inculcated, which will be of
great value and lasting benefit when
the employe shall have become the
owner and manager of an estate.

GooD LUoK.-Some young men talk
about good luck. Good luck is to get
up at o'clock in the morning. Good
luck,if you only have shilling week
is to live on II pence and save a pen
ny. Good luck is to trouble your
head with your own and let other
peoples business alone. Good luck
is, to fulfill the commandments and to
do unto other people as you wish
them to do unto us. We must plod
and perservere. Pence must be taken
care of because they are the seeds. of
guineas. To "get on in the world"
we must take care of home, sweep our
own door ways clean, try to help 9TH
er people, avoid temptation, and have
trust and faith in God.

How to Fit a Collar TO a Horse.

The plan adopted in the West we are
assured by men who have been long in the
collar business, does not injure the collar
nthe least, is to dip it into water until the
leather is thoroughly wet, then put it on
the horse securing the names firmly, keep
ing it there until it becomes dry. 1t is all
the better if heavy loads are to be drawn,
as that causes the collar to be more evenly
fitted to the neck and shoulders. If posi-
ble, the collar should be kept on from foul
60 five hours, when it will be perfectly dry,
and retain the same shape ever afterward
and as it is exactly fitted to the form Of the
neck, will not produce chafes or sores OF
the horses neck.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
MIIGH cows.

The Lancaster Inquirer says Some of
the best dairymen in this section have
proved, that if cows are allowed to stay
all night in the field during the fall months
and eat in pastures where there have been
heavy frost the preceding night it decreas-
es very materially the quantity of milk
It is highly probable that neglect of proper
treatment after the flush of pasture is over,
in early fall, often causes cows to go dry
sooner than they otherwise would-making
them Improbable all winter. Mich cows
at this season, when grass diminishes both
in quantity and quality, require additional
feed, some hay or corn-fodder, refuse cab
bace or root tops, in connection with few
quarts of bran daily. This should be given
them under shedding or well protected
barnyards, or the stable, letting them be
turned out for few hours in the middle of
the day, only after the frost has disappear
cd. We know farmer who has a certain
number of quarts of milk to supply daily,
who finds his cows diminish in their yield
whenever they are turned out on frosted
grass. A COW well summered and cared
for during the whole fall, is well prepared
for winter, and gets through it with com
parative ease. If well supplied with roots,
there will not be a great diminution in her
yield of milk and it has always seemed
to us it would be better for farmers who
have a fixed amount of milk or butter to
supply every week, to take proper care of
a good COW, and feed her we'll instead of
selling her to the butcher when her sup
ply diminishes (often for causes which may
be removed) and buying fresh COW.
There is no doubt much of our good
stock goes annually to the butcher, from
the mistaken notion that the required sup
ply can not be made up, except by the
purchase of a fresh COW

Waste Paper.

Few housekeepers are aware Of the many
uses to which waste paper may be put.
After stove has been blackened, it can be
kept looking very well for a long time by
rubbing it with paper every morning.
Rubbing with paper is a much nicer way of
keeping the out side of tea-kettle, coffee
pot and teapot bright and clean, than the
old way of washing them in suds. Rubbing
with paper is also the best way of polishing
knives and tinware after securing. This
saves wetting the knife handles. If a little
-four is held on the paper in rubbing tin
ware and spoons they shine like new silver.
For polishing mirrors, windows, lamp
Ghimneys, etc, paper is better than dry
cloth. Preserves and pickles keep much
better if brown paper, instead of cloth, is
tied over the jar. Canned fruit is not SO
apt to mold if piece of writing paper, cut
to fit the can, is laid directly on the fruit
Paper is much better to put under a carpet
than straw. 1t is warmer, thinner and
makes less noise when one walks over it.
Two thicknesses Of paper placed between
other covering on bed are as warm as a
quilt If it is necessary to step on chair
always lay paper on it, and thus save the
paint or woodwork from damage.

Mater-proof Boot Soles.

If hot tar is applied to boot soles it will
make them waterproof Let it be as hot
as the leather viii bear without injury, ap-
piled with swab, and drying by the fire.
The operation may be repeated two or three
times during the winter, if necessary. 1t
makes the surface of the leather quite hard,
80 that it wears longer, as we'll as keeps
the water out. 1t is a good plan to provide
boots for winter during summer, and pre-
pare the soles by taiing, as they will then
become, before they are wanted to wear,
almost as firm as horn, and win wear twice
as long as those unprepared.

Preserve Jars.

Preserve Jars are Theoretically sealed to
avoid mold, or in other words to keep out
invisible germs, which come in with the air
and produce mischief. 1t has long since
been found that plug Of cotton makes an
effectual closure for bottle or jar, serving
all the purposes Of sealing. This agrees
with the theory of Tyndall, who has dis
covered that cotton sifts the air Of germs
in peculiar mann or Of its own.
