Guilty in taking care Of them, especially as
the boy has manifested lately a disposition
of violence toward the girl. When he
wished to 90 from home he had to resort
to tying them distance from each other
as means Of mutual safety.
The furniture of the hut was bed and
q few rude seats. The father says that
the house once could boast of having a
stove called the Monitor" round bot
toned pot and kettle, and pan, but these
the boy broke, and latterly cooking was
done by means of fue, with the assist
ance Of some pieces of sheet iron. In
speaking of their household property he
said the family owned three sheets before
his wife LETT, but these were rent and I'M
fit for service. His china-ware consisted
of few delf plates, which, however,
were kept in trunk, and only taken out
upon the arrival of company. The chill
dren were fed from tin plates.
1t is an encouraging evidence as to the
future Of these unfortunate children that
since their introduction TO civilized it,
they have improved is disposition and
habits, and shows that with proper care
their redemption from their present bar
barous condition is possible. The children
are simply the victims of ill-usage and
neglect, and Notwithstanding the profess
sions Of the father Of the concern. he must
have had the instincts Of brute to permit
them to grow up in such state of misery
and degradation. As their case stands
now their reformation and improvement
would be the aim of humanity, and should
be the aim of those concerned in them
This will not be accomplished by exhibit
ing them like wild beasts throughout the
country. 1t is a stain uDon our civiliza-
ton to permit this, and we would appeal
to the humane and philanthropic in our
midst to rescue them from their degraded
and degrading situation.

The successful life of Mr.. Jacob Strawn,
the prince of American farmers, is attribut-
ed to the close observance of the following
maxims, originated by himself.
When you wake up, do not roll over, but
roll out. 1t win gile you time to ditch all
your sloughs, brake them, harrow them,
and SOW them with timothy and red clover.
One bushel of clover to two bushels OF
timothy is enough
Make your fencing high and strong, so
that it will keep cattle and pigs out.
If you have brush, make your lots Sc
cure, and keep your hogs from the cattle !;
for if the corn is kept clean, they will eat
it better than if it is not.
Be sure to get your hands to bed by
I o'clock-they will rise early by force of
circumstances. Pay hand if he is poor
hand, all you promise him; if he is a good
hand, pay him a little more; 1t will en-
courage him to do still better.
Always feed your hands as we'll as you
do yourself; for the laborng men are the
bone and snew Of the land, and onght to
be well treated.
| am satisfied that getting up early, in
dustry and regular habits are the best medl-
cine ever prescribed for health
When rainy, bad weather comes, so that
you cant work ont doors, cut, split and
haul your wood.
Make your racks, fixing your fence or a
gate that Is on its hinges, or weather
boarding your barn where the wind has
blown the siding off, or patch the roof oi
your barn or house.
Study your interest closely, and do not
spend any time in electing Presidents, Sen
ators and other small officers, or talking OF
hard times, when spending your time in
whiting store-boxes, etc.
Take your time and make calculations
don't do things in a hurry, but do them al
the right time, and keep your mind, as well
as your body employed.

Wintering Calves.

1t Is common belief among the herds
men that it is as much of a task TO carry 4
calf through the first Winter as it j. the
second. 1t has been fancy of ours to
handle calves for thrcescOre years. About
the first hard work we tried to 10 vas to
yoke up the calves and teach them ~ 20 at
the word OF command. In our boyhood it
was the practice to feed them nubbinS OF
corn or 4 few oats besides their hay, and
when We began on our own hook VIC fed
carrots apples, turnips and potatoes. Forty
years experience have convinced Us that
there is little trouble in gettr g through the
first Winter, If the calf is in fair condition
to begin with We prefer one or all the
articles above named to grain
Calves should have place by themselves
where they can enjoy their food undisturb-
ed by Older animals A good shed is inds-
pensible; good early cut hay, and free &C
cess to good water, axe equally important.
Straw or leaves for bedding should not be
overlooked. Now if you will visit them
once or twice day, always with regulari-
ty, with a quart apiece, if twice a day, of
hnely chopped carrots, you will be pretty
sure to find them glad to see you, and ready
for their ratiOns. We give the carrot pref
erence because experience has shown Us
that for calf il has no equal Regularity
Is more important With a calf than older
animals, though it pays on all With these
provisions, we have scarcely failed in keep

Mr.. Henry Ward Beecher is right. Why
should there be any objection to healthy
worms properly cooked as an article of
diet? An eel for example, is only large
worm; but its food is clean and healthlul;
and its flesh is only second to that OF the
trout, 0r the trout's equal, the Spanish
luackercl, or the Sleeps head. 4 roasted
grasshopper, whose only food is the
sweet fresh grass, or the smaller families
who have devOured it before him. 'fdone
brown" with fresh butter or toast, Del
monico cannot equal as q delicacy. The
chestnut worm, as Mr.. Beecher well oh
serves, never ate an unclean thing in It's
life; he lived upon the best and the
richest; and tastefully prepared, carefully
seasoned, and watched sedulously while be-
ing unoverdone, what could be more de-
hCiOus? There really is great mistake in
the general public mind, as it is called,
about these things. What are lively IN
habitants of rich cheese, for example,
but . pa1t-and the best selected part at
that-of the goodlY cheese itself? Who
ever saw an Englishman eYade the "settle-
ment in well-established Cheshire, or
matured Stilton, or petrified Cheddar? Per-
haps few persons No nothing that
hlbitually devours good food, with discre-
ton and discrimination, is unworthy to be
eaten. Even cannibals themselves, in their
human preserves, finally lost their relish,
from the variety of their game. A fat,
well-fel and well-tied missionary, lying on
lis back like a turtle, at the door Of &
Sandwich Island restaurant, with label on
Lis breast, setting forth that he was to be
served up at twelve O'Clock the next day,
was very different subject from poorly
fed common American sailor, marked, per
haps in different colored inks all over his
body. Mr.. Beecher's theory is q beneyo-
lent one. He goes for the worm, though it
has wrought him much annoy" Worms
have deyourcd his substance, destroyed
as cherries, his apples, his pears and his
plums. They have bored his trees even to
greater extent than he has bored the pub
.ic u describing their dcpredations and
although they fill his ground, torment his
raids hes, perforate his potatoes and exas-
perate all kindred escuent roots, yet he
bears them no malice. ''lleathy worms !"

A Queer Bride.

The New York correspondent of the st.
Louis Republican furnishes the following
bit of gossip:
'Among the catastrophes of the month
may be mentioned the marriages. AVN
ings are up and carpets are down in front
of our churches, and weddings are in fash
ion as well as deaths. Last week at the
Little Church Around the Corner, the
Church of the Transit guration, the only
daughter Of Lestel' NNallack was duly
made Mrs. Arthur Sewel. Not without
difficulty, however; She bride is quite
young, considered pretty, and all the
world Tin New York; knows she has pc
culiarities peculiarly her own.
During the solemnitles of bridal
ceremony i was supposed she would fore
90 the ways and manners that have made
her conspicuous in her fathers theatre,
and in public generally. Unfounded sup
bridal cortege arrived, passed up the long
and no peal Of organ fell on Florence's
ear. What screamed the bride, with a
church full of people in front and a crowd
of guests pressing in behind, mo music?
| won't be married without music Sew
eTdl IdultS ItIt HilGu lllc OJcu uoOl UC-
hind the bridal party. The ushers were
sent flying after an organist The bride
in streaming white silk, flowing veil and
orange wreath turned upon the crowd
motioning them back. She cried You
can't come in here now, till pass into
church. Keep the door somebody Her
father tried in vain to calm her. Her pro-
posed husband ventured word. but she
shut him up summarily. No organist was
found, the invited guests outside the
chapel door were clamorous, and the dis
appointed damsel reluctantly went up the
aisle and was married AS the benedic
ton was pronounced she commenced an
animated argument with the happy Sewell.
AS she passed out of the church, half
way down the aisle she sped Tom Baker,
the leader of the orchestra at Wallack's,
and sung out: Here, what's the reason
| had no music?' Unabashed, the gallant
Baker replied: why didn't you let me
know. I'd a had the whole orchestra
here.' I've seen blushing brides, fearful
brides, agitated brides, but if Miss Wal
lack had been getting married every day
for five years she couldn't have been a
more self-possessed and easeacting bride
than she proved herself"

At u ball given in Louisville a few
nights since by canal employees, quite an
amusing incident occurred. Ham sand
wiches were upon the table when the COM
pany We're invited in to supper. Some
mischievous fellow however, had few
minutes before stolen the ham and re-
placed it with thin slices of soap. The
men, being very hungry, seized the bogus
sandwiches and Immediately bit out huge
mouthtuls. The mistake was discovered
by each individual. but no one said any
thing about it, thinking, perhaps, that the
others would laugh at him. The author
of the joke watched with subdued merri-
ment the numerous wry faces and chang
ed countenances that, one by one, indicat-
ed the extensive circulation of the soap.
The best feature of the affair was that no
one got angry, but all laughed heartily at
it when it was discovered that all had bit
and been "bitten."

The minstrel boy to the war is gone,
IN the ranks of death You'll find him,
His fathers sword he has glrded Oh,
And his wild harp slung behind him.
Land of songl" said the warrior bard,
Though all the world betrays thee,
one sword. at least, thy rights shall guard,
Otte faithful harp shall praise thee"'
The minstrel fell!-but the foeman's chain
Could not bring his proud soul under;
The harp he loved neer spoke again.
For he tore its chords asunder,
And said, 'FNo chain shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and bravery
Thy songs were made for the pure and free,
They Shall never sound in slavery

description Of the holing or emptyng pit

There j. much gained by having comfor-
table Winter quarters for poultry. They
should not be permitted to roost on trees,
or any other ont OF doors place without
roof or covering OF some sort, exposed to
cold. wet or storms. The force of habit is
so strongly implanted in their nature that
where they roost in fair weather, they will
persist in roostng all the time.
There should be an open shed in the
poultry yard, under which should be kept 8
box Of dry sand to afford a dry bath, or
dusting place for the fowls to rid them
selves of vermin. This is Of much mpor-
tance, and should not be neglected. This
Shed will also afford protection from the

One of the great wants of poultry is
green food some fresh grass cut every
day, and given to them, will be much en-

where he mulched his wheat land with

that land which had been sheltered during

more fertile than any portion Of his adjoin-

Hon. Amasa Walker has lately published
an article arguing that our inflated paper
currency Increases the prices Of one class
OF products and does not affect that OF
others. He says that our home products,
which are wholly consumed in the country,
like boots and shoes, farming implements,
Sc, are measured by the redundant cur
rency and thus nominally higher; while
those which are raised in such excess that
d portion mut be exported, are measured
by the gold standard of foreign nations
where our currency is not accepted, and
are not correspondingly advanced. Accord
ingly our agricultural products, which look
for market abroad, are produced at 4
great disadvantage, since they are grown
under paper currency, and chiefly at its
enhancing cost, while they are sold at
price regulated by gold currency.

The Situation in France.

A letter from Karl Blind in the
Vienna Ffeie PreSSe contains the fol-
lowing statement of the present sit
uation in France "Since the reun-
ion of the two branches of the House
of Bourbon has been announced, we
may look forward to rapid start of
reaction. Even now there are people
who believe in the sincere Republi-
can intentions of Theirs, placing him
in opposition to Changarnier and
Ducrot. To me il seems that the
difference is merely a personal one, or
at most one of degree, as was former
ly the case, under Louis Philippe, be-
tween Theirs and Guizot Chan
GARNER and Ducrot would fain play
the part of Monk. Theirs only hesi-
tates from tactical motives at tho
same time he has no desire to be set
aside by his rivals Hence he pre-
ters 10 keep with MacMahon, the
Bonapartist, in order not to be GUST
ed by the Generals Of the united roy
al lines. Theirs, too, means to have
his thrust at the Republic, only his
mode of fencing is a different one.
The hight Of the complication would
be attained if, after matters shall
have reached certain point, Mac
Mahon were to attempt coup d etnt
against Theirs himself, overthrowing
the Republic and the Royalists to
gether, and attempt a restoration Of
the Napoleons. In France, unfor-
tunately, everything is at present
possible and everything impossible. +"
