life Thoughts,

Encouragement after correction, is like
sunshine after n shower.
Godliness has the promise Of, and Sc
cures the blessing Of both worlds,
a man may have much of the world
and yet not be much of a man.
Those who rctract love themselves bet
ter than the truth.
Half the truth may be Il lie, in the ab-
encc Of the other half.
Pride hides mans faults from himself
and nagniics them TO others.
Your character cannot be essentially
injured except by your own acts.
Always bear in mind that your exam
pie will speak louder than your tongue.

Pumpkins for Calves.

John G. Shelman, writing on this sub
ject in the Ruro2 New Yorker, says
We have often been asked the question,
" Do you think pumpkins of much value
for stock ?"
'In reply, Twish to give my experience
in feeding them. Years since, ! found
out their value as food for milch cows,
and their milk producing properties.
This fall found that, for calves, they
were better than anything ever fed. |
only raised three spring calyes-one born
April 9th ; one the 18th, and one the
18th. They were fed as usual, on skim
milk, until pumpkins were ripe, when we
began to feed them at the rate Of bushel
per dav, cut fine. This was increased
until they were fed two bushels per day.
| weighed them to day at noon, and the
three head weighed 1885 pounds The
country is full Of calves fed in the usual
way, that would not weigh more than two
or three hundred apiece"

Corn or Oats.

What kind ofproycnder do you give

That's what the matter Too many
oats Half the amount of oats and the
rest in corn would no doubt work an inn
provcment in him. We have found out
that horses should not be fed entirely
with oats or provender. They need
something else. Give them corn or corn

oats and corn, and see if they do not i'm

Where Does il Come From =!


A subscriber writes to us as follows:
In the spring Of 1860 | turned down n
piece of sod and planted corn, following
that crop the next Spring with oats The
crop Of oats was taken off at the usual
time, and in the September following, l
went into the army, where | remained till
the end of the war. During that time
nothing was done with that field, as it
was called, very poor land, and after my
return let it alone until last Spring,
when I heavily lined it, and plowcd it,
calculating to plow again, and sow wheat
last fall. When | come to plow it again,
and prepare it for seeding, [ found the
ground covered with as fine crop Of
clover, as ever was raised in this vicinity.
Now what wish to know is where did
the clover come from. for there was little
if any in the sod turned down in 1860,
and there had been no seed sowed on the
land since [ have known it, which has
been since 1855. Il. S. b.
Perhaps some Of our readers can an
answer the question and if they can, let
us hear from them.

DRUNK.

Young man, did you ever stop to think
how that word sounds? Did you ever
think what misery and woe you brought
upon your friends, when you degraded
your manhood by getting drunk? How
it rings in the ear ola loving wife How
it makes the heart Of fond mother
bleed. How it crushes out the hopes of
of Il doting father, and brings reproach
and shame upon loving sisters Drunk !!
Sec him as he leans against some friendly
house. He stands ready to fall into the
open jaws of hell, unconscious as to his
approaching fate. The wife, with fearful
eyes and aching heart, sits at the window
to hear her husbands footsteps but alas
they come not. He is drunk The hus-
band the parent, is drunk spending his
time and money when he should be at
home. Instead Of enjoying the comforts
Of the home circle, he is drunk He is
spending his means of support for liquor,
while his family is starving for bread, his
children suffering for clothing. Drunk
His reputation is gone, gone. His friends
one by one, are reluctantly leaving him
to miserable fate.

Sorrow.

Sorrow sobers us and makes the mind
genial. And in sorrow we love and trust
our friends more tenderly, and the dead
became dearer to us. And just as the
stars shine out in the nights, so these are
blessed faces that look at us in our grief,
though their features were fading from
our recollection. Suffering! Let no man
dread it too much because it is better for
him, and it will help to make him sure Of
being immortal 1t is not in the bright
days, but only in the solemn, that other
worlds are to be seen shining in the long,
distances And it is in sorrow-the night
Of the soul-that we see the farthest, and
know ourselves natives of infnity and
sons and daughters of the most High

We Fnde.

We extract the following beautiful and
truthful illustration from an exchange :;
F" As the trials of life thicken, and the
dreams of other days fade, one by one in
the deep vista of disappointed hope the
heart grows weary Of the struggle, and we
begin to realize our insignifcance. Those
who have climbed to the pinnacle of fame
or revel in luxury and wealth go the grave
at last with the poor mendicant who begs
by the wayside and like him are soon for
gotten. Generation after generation, says
and eloquent writer, have felt as we feel
and their fellows were as active in life as
ours are now. They passed away as a
vapor while nature wore the same aspect
of beauty us when the Creator comman-
ded her to be- And so shall it be when
we are gone. The heavens will be as
bright over our grave as they arc now
around our path; the world will have the
same attraction for oif-springs yet unborn
that she had once for ourselves and that
she has now for our children"

Planting Apple Orchards.

No man in the review of the past
season can say that the applc-trecs have
done bearing. The yield has been boun-
tiful, notwithstanding the great drought,
and apples have been drug in many
communities, yet good winter apples are
now bringing remunerative prices-three
dollars barrel and upward. Thousands
of barrels have been sent into New Eng
land, aud arc now selling in sight of
farms once blessed with productive or
chards. The excuse for not planting has
been the failure of the cid trees to bear.
Why should they bear, given over as they
have been to utter neglect for a whole
generation ? a tree can no moro bear
fruit without nourishment than a cow
can give milk without fodder. There are
orchards in the older parts of the coun-
try well fed and productive as ever.
There was never more encouragement TO
plant good varieties of apples than now.
There is no danger Of overstocking the
market with good, sound winter apples.
Even in years Of plenty, the loag-keeping
varieties will bring good prices. Every
farm shonld have its orchards.--HcoHh

The Best site for an Orchard

Dodart first observed that trees pushed
their branches in direction parallel to
to the surface of the earth. fla tree
stands on a steep hillside it pushes both
toward the hill and the declivity; but on
both sides it preserves it branches parallel
to the surface. The most fruitful or
chards and most fertile trees are those
planted on declivity, and the sleeper it
is, though not quite a precipice, the more
prolific they prove. 1t is well known that
the spreading Of trees render them fruit
full. On Il plane they incline to shoot
upward and therefore art is employed by
skillful gardeners, and applied in various
ways to check their perpendicular and
promote their lateral growth. But this
point is obtained on declivity by Nature.

Court of this State in what was known as
the "bauk tax cases" being an action
brought by N. b. Van SIyke against the
State and one by Benjamin Bagnall against
the State, to test the validity of the law
imposing tax es upon shares in the National
banks for the the years 1865 and 1866. The
Supreme Court of this state held that the
law in question was valid, and the Supreme
Court of he United States, in an opiui on

D. HALL.

The following is the article alluded to
by Mr.. Hall ::
The case of James H. Rees Us the City
Of Watertown, for bill to enforce sale of pro-
perty to create fund to pay bonds was argued
and submitted
The above action was brought by Rees TO
compel the property of Watertuwn TO pay
certain bonds issued lor the construction of
railroads. Ii was CLAIMED by the plaintiffs
that all the powers of The courts such as
Judgments, executions, and mandamuses,
had exhausted in the attempt to compel the
city officials of Watertown to levy and col
lect taxes for the payment of these bonds !;
this being the case the plaintiff asked for an
order or this court authorizing the United
States Marshal 10 sell enough of the taxable
property OF Watertown to pay these bonds.
For the defense it was claimed that the
court must be governed by the lar; and
that the law had gone to its fullest extent in
the granting OF a mandamus, ETC., it had got
TO the end OF the rope aud could go no
further
But Judge Drummo I'D in his argument
everything the demur, made it plain case
of equity and though the collection ola tax
TO pay this debt might seem oppressive in
its effects, still it was the fulhllment of !.
municipal contract entered into by the off
cias of Watertown and should be paid
The contract was reciprocal in its obiga-
tons, and the payment of money by lhe
city OF Watertown was part of the obiiga-
tion. This obligation having been confes-
sed ana the means of enforcing it having
been exhausted ia the courts of law, it was
rig bit and proper that the court of equity
should decide it, and therefore he oVerruled
the demur.
