CHEER HM.-In one Of our large cities
a fire broke out in a lofty dwelling 1t
was near midnight and the flames had made
Roadway before they were discovered. The
fire companies rallied. but the smoke had
become 50 thick that the outlines of the
house were scarcely visible, and the fiery
element was raging with fearful power
when a fearful cry thrilled all hearts as
they learned that there was one person yet
unsaycd within the building In mo-
ment ladder was swung through the
flames and planted against the heated walls
and brave fireman rushed up its rounds
to the rescue.
Overcome By the smoke and perhaps
daunted by the kissing flames before him,
he halted and seemed to hesitate. 1t was
an awful scene \ life hung in the ball
lance and each moment was an age
Cheer him shouted voice from the
crowd, and 4 wild hurrah burst like
u tempest from the beholding multitude.
That cheer did the work, and the brave
fireman went upward amid smoke and
flame and in a moment descended with the
rescued one in his arms.
Friend brother, when you see a brave
soul battling with temptation, struggling
under the cross, rushing forward to rescue
dying men, and yet faltering in an hour OF
weakness or moment of peril then cheer
him And as a pebbles fall may change
a rivers course, so your words of sympa-
thetic kindness may uplift a dropping
heart, and fix its faltering purpose Tor a
noble life

Boy SMoKERs.-Here and there about
the street-corners and around the doors of
places OF amusement, you will see a lot of
urchins, some of them decently clad and
presenting respectable appearance, who
are engaged in asserting their manhood bv
putting away at execrable cigars. 1t is fair
to presume that their anxious mammas are
not aware of the foul habits their darling
boys pick up and practice outside of the
paternal roof; but for their benefit they
should know that it is stated that a French
physician has investigated the effect of
smoking on thirty-eight boys, between the
ages of nine and fifteen, who were addict
ed to the habit. Twenty-seyen presented
distinct symptoms Of nicotine poison. In
twenty-five there were serious disorders of
the circulation, Indigestion, dullness of in
tellect, and marked appetite for strong
drinks. In three there was heart affection
in eight decided deterioration of blood in
twelve there was frequent epistaxis; ten
had disturbed sleep, and four had ulcera-
ton OF the mucous membrane of the mouth.
1t IS easy, then, to see how the ranks of the
drunkards and dissolute men about town
are recruited, when there are so many bows
in training for delirum tremens and the
horrors of sipation.-LouisviLle Jour

the calf is large enough, turn it into the best
pasture but here again b. careful to avoid
a sudden change to grass, by keeping up a
good supply of the other food, to be gradually
diminished, as circumstances may dictate.
1t is better, however, to give calves some
meal the whole season through and the fol-
lowing winter, if good animals are desired );
and probably no outlay for such food pays
better than that expended to keep such
young animals in a constantly growing and
fine condition, being the turning point per-
haps between fifty or hundred or two hun
dred dollar animal. 1t is bad care, dirt,
irregular feeding, &c, that spoils calves and
gives any food bad reputation Go Gent.

SPRoUTNG PoTAToEs.-Sprouting the white
potato will advance the crop two weeks.
They should be cut so tlat about two eyes
are allowed TO each piece, and these should
be planted in hot-beds with very thin cover
ing of soil; or it is better to plant in b ,xes
and set these in = hot-bed, so that after they
are properly sprouted they can be al once
carried to the place Of planting. If the
nights should be anyway cold, protect with
a thin covering of straw when the plants
make their appearance above ground. Some
persons who want large quantity sprouted,
cut the potatoes as desired, and spread them
on boards, boxes or crates, in a dark place,
and when sprouted, say from an inch to an
inch and a half expose them to the light,
moistening two or three times ,ek with
tepid water. They should be planted out so
that there is not more than two inches Of
soil over the top Of the sprouts Ger. Tel.

when her words were brought back to her
again, she threw herself upon the floor,
and screamed and kicked, as babies some
times do, when they feel very badly, and
don't know how to say so.
But that didn't help the matter bit.
Every shrek, every scream, was initiated,
so that it seemed exactly as if there were
two Snarleys instead OF one Her mother
was obliged to stop her ears, to keep out
the noise, and the poor child was finally
taken to bed without her supper, and
sobbed herself to sleep.
4 The next morning it was just the same.
She couldn't say a word that wasn't re-
peated. In vain did she make up her mind
to speak very softly, so that only her moth
er could hear Every whisper even, came
back to her ear, exactly as 1t left her
tongue.
Oh how it troubled her, as day after
\ day passed away, and still that invisible
companion She really grew pale and
thin upon it. At one time she had quite
made up her mind never to talk any more,
but, dear me, though she was only little
girl, there was so much to say always, that
She couldn't well help it, Then her moth
er noticed with pleasure, that she began to
speak more pleasantly. At first from Gu
riosity only, just to see how it would sound,
but, finally, as if she really enjoyed it, and
meant to keep it up.
Yes, the Echo fairy was really doing
her good, slowly, but surely. She had
never realized how her perpetual fretting
troubled Others until she found how wea-
risome its repetition was to herself.
One evening, she sat on a little cricket
at her mothers feet. Both were silent,
each busily thinking. At last Helen, (no
longer Miss Snarley) spoke
Mother, | am going to try to be good.
How pleasantly the Echo sounded, Co
ing to try to be good
And not whine or fret any more. Not
whine or fret any more, repeated Echo.
Don't you think [ have improved,

member how we heard him in Aunt Sa-
rah's woods Well, I'd just as lief have
him here now as not and kissing heI
mother good night, she went up to bed.
Echo softly repeated the prayer that
Helen said that night, and then, finding
that she really was trying to be good, and
feeling pretty confident of her success, he
quietly betook himself to his home in the
woods again So, when she called out so
pleasantly the next morning, How are
you, Mr. Echo there was no reply.
Why, he's gone, she said to herself
Well, | hope l don't need him any
more, but | DO wonder where he is

Helen. Up among the Vermont hills.

WOODEN HoRsE COLLARS AND SADDLES
Called shoulders and backs are to no small
extent due to the soft pads and cushions
which are pressed DON the tender skin IN
der which the muscles play, and upon which
great weight or draught is borne. The skin
thckens and gets tough to some extent, but
the softer or more padded the collar or sad
die, the more liable is the skin to blister and
gall. This is because the prespir alton is re
tanned, the skin soitened and made to rub
and move more upon the flesh and bone be-

the hint has not been before taken we can
not imagine, but only recently have We seen
wooden hOrse-collars introduced. they have
been used for some time ut the S0uth-mOre,
we fancy, from necessity than from choice,
but with .he best results. Now, two compa-
MES are manufacturing them in the city, and
other hard material not liable to absorb wa

be used with names others have hooks or
other attachment placed for traces upon the

The SWIVEL PLow.-One of the first i'm
pements used in the Spring Is the pillow.
By the plow the soil is inverted, lifted and
crumbled and partially prepared for the re
ception Of seed. Without it the labors Of the
farmer in cultiyatug the cereals, corn and
root crops would be in vain. The improved
pillow Of the pre- ent day bears very little
resemblance to that used by our fathers thirty
years ago. There is probably no other farm
implement which has eceivfd more radi al
improvements. We regard the perfection Of
the swivel plow for use both on side hill and
level land, as one IF the most important
achievements Of science for the benefit Of
farmers. In our own boyhood's days the
land, and not effectively on sioe hill Of mod
crate inclination. The genius Of Holbrook
has SO perfected the swivel plow that it turns
a turrow anywhere as well as any Ilow. II
leaves the turrow in better condition t1an
any other plow that we have ever seen in
operation. With the extra moldbOard for
stubble, the farmer has a complete plow for
all kinds Of work except for subsoiling. We
have No. swivel pillow with extra mold
board, and it Is the only plow used on the
farm, doing all work in a atisftctory manner
Since it was procured all dead burrows and
ridges have disappeared, and the head lands
being plowed last, every turrow in the field
is left light and porous and in much better
condition than ever before by the right hand
plows. We advise every farmer, who would
have good pillow, to procure the llolbro0k

CLEANSING VANISHED PANT.-In cleans
ing paint which has been varni shed, there Is
nothing better than weak tea. All the tea
leaves from several drawings should be saved
and boiled over early in the morning of the
paint-cleansing day. Ii boiled in an old tin
pail or pan, the tea can easily be strained of
for use Wet flannel in it and wipe the
oak grained paint, and you will be surprised
at it's brightness. No soap is needed, no
milk; the tea is the most capital detergent
ever invented. Wipe the paint dry with
soft cloth; you will find that very little
elbow grease is needful. White vanished
paint is cleansed as rapidly with it as the
grained.

OUR readers will not fail to note, in our
foreign dispatches, the proclamation of the
Count De Chambourd, and the promise he
makes to the French people. If the re-
cent election is an honest expression of the
views of Frenchmen, there is little fear
that De Chambourd will accomplish much.
The result of that election was to send to
the Assembly eighty-six supporters of
Theirs, thirteen Radicals, 1.-TWO Legitimists,
three Orleanists and one BOnarpartist.
With the old members, this gives Theirs
a majority of over one hundred. If the
election means anything, it is an express
sion of confidence in NJ. Thiers and his
associates. Theirs administration thus
far has been a great success, and it is to be
hoped that Frenchmen will have the good
sense to continue it so long as it proves
faithful and wise. We should think they
had enough of anarchy and desolatiOn to
last for one generation.

A GOOD WAY TO GROW RICH AND GREAT

The ceaseless, tireless struggle for wealth
among Americans is one of the striking
features of their character. In every COM
munity the disease is chronic. 1t is I'M
mistakable, though manifested IN differ
ent ways. In some States the mere desire
for money and wealth is paramount. Men
and communities struggle to pile up the
mere outward signs of riches-costly
dwellings, flashy equipages and gaudy
jewelry, piles of rough brick and mortar
their standards of wealth.
But money is not alone wealth. States
with plethoric treasures, with populous
towns, with rich, fertile lands extending
thousands of square miles, with canals,
rivers, railroads and improved public roads,
with costly public buildings, are not al
ways the wealthiest. All these a State
may have, and yet in the march of pro-
gress, in the unfolding of power and in
fluence in the great things of the world, it
may be miserably poor. There are things
a State may have that are worth more
than mere money, because in the yearly
balance of accounts, in the stated invento-
ries of public assets, they yield in due
time not only money, but that which sure
Iy and increasingly yields money!. G.,
general intelligence, courage, honesty, pub
lie spirit and sound patriotism. Take from
people every index of wealth put them
upon barren rock or desert and give them
education, enthusiasm and honor and
in time they will as surely grow rich and
powerful as the sun shines or the dews of
heaven fall. On the other hand give
people money, give them a sunny cline
and fertile fields, but leave them to mere
ambition for wealth or pleasure rob them
of virtue, schools and national honor and
they will sink into utter poverty and sin.
A great writer has said: A great poet is
worth more, in the computations of public
wealth, than any largest millionaire; for,
if he may yield but a single short lyric
that has the force to kindle nations feel
ing, and becomes its national hymn, he
brings in a vaster wealth than whole con-
voys of ships laden with the riches of the
world. In it he buys courage, enthusiasm,
constancy, victory, all that conserves the
order, knits the strength, concentrates the
love of the State-what no largest largesses
in gold can either buy or outweigh"
DO we need proof of this? Have we not
