You nav get through the world, but twill be

Wen be worried and fretted: and kept in a

For meddlesome tongues will have something
For people viii talk.
Ifquiet and modest, you'll have 1t presumed
That your humble positi,h is only presumed
You're a wolf in Sleeps clothing, or else
you're fool.
But don't get excited, keep perfectly cool,

If generous and noble, they'll vent out their
spleen, f--- VI
You'll hear some loud hints that you're sell

If upright and honest, and fair as the day,
They'll call you rogue in a ely, sneaking
way,
For people viii talk.
And then, if you show the least boldnGss of

Or slight inclination to take your own part,
They will call you an upstart, conceited and
vain;
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to explain
For people will talk.
If fthreadbsrc your dress or old fashioned
your hat,
Some one will surely take notice Of that
And hint rather strong that you cam. pay
your way,
But don't get excited, whatever they say,
For people will talk.
If you dress in the fashion don't think to
escape,
For they criticize then in different shape
You're ahead of your means, or your tail

But mind your own business, there's naught
10 be made,
For people will talk.
Now, the best way to DO, is to do as you please,
For your mind, if you have one, viii then
be at ease;
ofcourse you will meet with all sorts Of abuse
But don't think to stop them, it amt any use,
For people will talk.

dry hoop-holes, because they have
lost their elasticity aud toughness. 1t
it is true wehave once seen dry veneers
put on eifo.lar liniels. battheglue alone
held them IN position. and we pitied the
owner Of the house. Only one question
remains unanswered, to wit: rs steam
dried timber more apt to warp than air
dyied?7 We answer, no: it is less, and
this, in addition to the time gained, ap-
pears to rs of such importance that We
are ROW prepared to give it. Mean
while, We advise not to hire steam for
drying lumber before one is fully posted
on the process. Green timber, in or
der TO be dried thoroughly by steam,
should be treated, first, for at least
twenty-four hours, by free steam, and
then from eight to twelve days by dry
or superheated steam. A single steam
bath in box Will most certainly not eff
feet a thorough drying. or make the
wood even approximately, Ike weather
seasoned material. Quick drying of
wood is an art hitherto little attended to
by chemists, although it is an interes-
ting and profitable field. Notwithstand-
ing the general assertion that artificial
processes damage lumber, we are among
those who believe the day not far distant
when wood will be dried artifcially,
without deterioration, for many me-
chanlcal purposes.-Ib Hab.

HARD ON CHIcAGo.-On Sunday, Oc-
tober 29th, the Rev. DR.. Everts, pastor
of the First Baptist Church in Chicago
preached sermon on the great fire, in
which he is reported by the Times as
saying: "He had heard on the morn
ing after the fire one man say "the Lord
had gone back on Chicago" This e1-
pressed the truth in vulgar but forci-
BILE manner. The Lord had message
to Chicago in this tremendous storm of
fire and desolation. He had an import
ant lesson to teach rs, and we should
seek to decipher its meaning" The
preacher then proceeded to specify
some Of the specific sins which were
punished. Chicago had become thor
oughly prodigate-fully as bad as New
York or Paris. Profigacy had become
obtrusive, and f1aunted itself without
shame. The majority of the young
were living only for cultivated animal
enjoyment. The more dangerous fire Of
intemperance was destroying every year
more wealth and happiness than the
late confagration. The atheism Of the
anti-Sabatarians was rebuked also in
our desolation. No people could be
saved without Sabbath.

coat to get for the approaching season.
Already, in some sections, winter has
utteredits warnings. There have been
severe snow-storms in Omaha and Wyo-
ming: snow in Main and New Hamps-
hire: snow-squails in Boston and else
where in New England. With al this
comes an assertion in an eastern paper
that ''most of last winters large crop of
Kennebeck ice still remains in store. !"
This is almost beyond belief. If it is
true, it is Observation-Disclosures. To
think of the alleged scarcity of ice in the
past few summers as an excuse for mo-
nopoly and extortion scarcely known in
any other branch Of business. Well; if
the generally-predicted cold winter is
coming, it brings, at least the one con-
ISOLATION that there viii be plenty of ice.
which ought to be sold at reasonable
rates next summer.

ECONOMY OF LoNG FURRows IN PLow-
ING.-A German agricultural journal
observes that farmers usually pay very
little attention to the length of the fur
rows to be plowed in a field, and yet
great waste of time and labor is the
necessary consequence of unsuitable ar
rangements in this respect. The turn
ing of the plow and the commencing of
a new furrow requires more exertion in
the plowman and the team than con-
tinued work in straight line, and how
great may really be the loss of time
from frequent Interruptions may be
shown by the following calculation: In
field 225 feet long, five and a half
hours out of ten are used in redirectine
the plow; with length of SIS feet, four
hours are sufficient for the purpose,
and when the plow can proceed with
out interruption for 500 feet, only one
and half of the daily morking time
are consumed. Hence the rule to
TO make the furrows as long as circum.
stances will admit.
