consistency, thou art a jewel.

TOTAL DEPRAvITY.-We are not very
much inclined to favor the doctrine of
total depravity; but occasionally some
thing turns up in an unlocked for quarter,
that unsettles us on that question. We
had come to look upon our amiable and
gentlemanly contemporary, the editor of
the Laporte argus, as bright example
of courtesy and truthfulness. But alas,
for the frailty-the perverseness-of hu-
man nature. In the last number of that
paper, we find the following in answer to
an editorial in Bro. Gurney's paper He
says:
And while we are speaking of this mat
ter it may not be amiss to call the atten-
ton of the Valette man to fact which has
probably escaped his memory. We once
announced our determination to extend
the same style of treatment to him that he
does to us. We will pay him back in his
own coin, and take pleasure in giving him
good interest. He commenced this fight
by making a positive but entirely false
! statement about u.s. That he did it I'M
derstandingly is no longer aquestion, and

In all domestic animals
There Is widespread belief that mules
are stubborn and vicious, and our agricul-
tural friend, Josh Billings, has almost
immortalized every bad quality that
mule can have Probably these long
cared friends have rather more capacity in
the direction of mulishness "and vicious
ness than have most of our other domestic
animals but 1t is a capacity only, and
these bad qualities are in all cases the
result of brutal and ignorant treat
ment. The writer has had to do with
hundreds of mules, and is convinced that
they are naturally more intelligent, more
affectionate and more docile than horses.
But their docility will not Withstand
abuse their affection is by no means be.
slowed on those who abuse them; and
their intelligence is often chiefly exercised
in devising means of worrying those who
worry them. Well fed, we'll l'Eroomed, and

me TO buy It and inclose Il in our garden.

have reconsidered the matter--I ought
not to afford it--so have given II up"
"Quite right, Jack" responded the old
man 1t would have been a piece Of ex-
travagance" And the subject drops.
Next Wednesday, being Emily's birth
day, the old people dine with the young
folks just before dinner, old John takes
his daughterIn-law aside, and places In
her hand parchment--it is the deed of
the little plat of ground she coveted. He
stops her thanks with kiss, and hurries
away. Ere the ladies retire, Emily finds
time to whisper the secret to her husband
And the father and son are alone. Watch
the old mans eyes fixed on the fire, for he
has detected this piece of affectionate
treachery and is almost ashamed of his
act, because he does not know how to re-
ceive his thanks. For few momtnts a
deep, gentle feeling broods upon the young
mans heart; he has no words--it Is o
prayer syllabled in emotion that makes his
lips tremble; he lays his hands upon his
fathers arm, and their eyes meet.
"Tut, Jack, sir pooh, sir II must all
come to you some day-God bless you,
my boy, and make you as happy at my age
as am now" In silence the souls of
these men embrace.

Horses.


HORSE stock of every kind require con-
slant attention in winter. There are few
stables so perfect in every particular that
some improvement cannot be made in
them. Some are too cold, and the horses
consume an extra quantity of food to keep
up the heat of their bodies. Some have
not sufficient ventilation, and the horses
are compelled to breathe over again the
vitiated air which has been expelled from
their lungs. Many stables have not suff1-
cient light, and this, in itself, is a serious
defect, as the want of light gives rise to
various diseases, according to the state
ments OF experienced veterinarians The
racks, feeding-boxes, stalls, and floors of
stables are, in many cases, not properly
constructed, and improvements in these
particulars may be necessary. Street car
and omnibus companies find that great
economy of provender may be effected by
chopping and steaming hay and Straw,
and mixing with bean-meal or corn-meal.
Farmers should follow their example. The
shoeing of horses is matter of great i'm
portance, especially in winter, when acci-
dents frequently occur from horses slip
ping on ice or the smooth frozen surface
of the ground. The repairing, oiling, and
padding of harness should be attended to-,
and veterinary medicines and instruments
kept ready for use Western Rural.

To Cure Scratches.

SOMEBODY wants to know how to cure
the scratches ON his horse. / will give a
remedy have used for years with univer-
sal success; Take two pounds of Glauber
salts, one pound of sulphur, and one
quarter pound of saltpeter: pulverize all
finely together, and give one heaping
tablespoonful once day, thrown on the
feed.
Now for the feet. Take one pint of
meats foot Oil and one-fourth pound of
fine cut chewing tobacco, and simmer
together Strain out the tobacco, and
bottle for use. Take CASTLE soap and
warm water, and wash the parts affected
clean, and dry thoroughly before applying
the oil. If the ankles are much sore, it
would be well TO put cloths on them to
keep the air from them while they are dry
ing; when dry, anoint them well with the
oil for few days; then wash as before,
dry well, and apply the oil again. If
thoroughly applied, it will effect perma-
nent cure. Keep the feet clean, and
scratches will not be likely to RETURN

The Excellence Of the Farmers Life.

AGRICULTURE corresponds to that de-
gree of exercise which is the best preserva-
tive of health. 1t requires no hurtful fa-
tigue on the one hand, nor indulges on the
other Incidence, still more hurtful. Dur
ing throng of work the diligent farmer
will sometimes be early and late in the
field but this is no hardship upon an ac-
tive spirit.
Agriculture is equally salutary to the
mind. In the management of a farm con-
slant attention is required to the soil, to the
season, and to the different operations. A
gentleman thus occupied becomes daily
more active, and is daily gathering know
ledge as his mind is never suffered to Ian
guish, he is secure against the disease oflow
spirits.
But what chiefly insist on is, that lay
ing aside irregular appetites and ambitious
views, agriculture is, of all occupations, the
most consonant to our nature, and the most
productive of contentment, the sweetest
sort of happiness In.the first place il re-
quires that moderate degree of exercise
which corresponds the most to the ordinary
succession of our perceptions. Fox-hunt-
ing produces succession too rapid ang-
ling produces a succession too slow. Agri-
culture corresponds not only more to the
ordinary succession, but has the followin 90
signal property, that farmer can dire
his operations with that degree of quick
ness and variety which is agreeable to his
own train ofperceptions.
The hopes and fears that attend agricul-
ture keepthemind always awake and in an
enlivening degree ofagitation. Hope never
approaches certainty so near as TO produce
security, nor is fear ever so great as to pro-
duce anxiety aid distress Hence it is that
q ppOtlpman farmer tolarahlv skil1fu1 navar
tires of his work, but is as keen at the last
moment as the first. Can any other employ
ment compare with farming in that respect? I?
No other occupation rivals agriculture in
connecting private interest with that of the
public.
Every gentleman farmer must of course
be patriot; for patriotism, like other vir-
lures, is improved and fortified by exercise.
In fact, if there be any remaining patrio-
tism in a nation, ii is found among that
class Of men. Exchange.
