One word more and l am done. New
Haven is not only most beautiful city,
but one of the most prosperous in New
England, and it owes both It's beauty and
its prosperity to its many and excellent
schools and to its manufactures. What
New Haven is Nashville may become, and
more by the proper encouragement of her
schools and her manufactures.

An Eloquent Appeal.

A young lawyer was employed to
defend a culprit on charge of steal
ing pig. The case was not one
calculated to call forth great dis
play of eloquence, but it was his
first case, and he was painting for
distinction, the young advocate re-
solved to give the Court and Jury
an earnest specimen of his future
efforts, 'and convince them that he
was bound to shine" Accordingly
he proceeded to deliver the follow
ing exordium. "May it please the
Court and gentlemen of the jury
while Europe is bathed in blood
while classic Greece is struggling
for her rights and liberties and
trampling the unhallowed altars of
the bearded infidels to the dust
while the chosen few of degenerate
Iberia are waving their FURNISHED
swords in the sunlight of liberty,
while America shines forth, the
orb in the political sky, 1
with due diffidence rise to defend
the cause of this miserable hog
thief" -

Hoof Disease.

The hoof disease excites great
alarm in New England. The Boston
TraUeleT says the disease is the
most infectious of all the 'ails> to
which cattle are subject. In High
am, Mass, the disease spread from
a pair of oxen, within two weeks,
until seventy head of the choicest
breeds were affected. In some cases
hogs and sheep are attacked. Even
can the infection be carried from
herd to herd in the clothes of people,
and cattle walking over the same
road previously trod by diseased
cattle, have been affected. The
milk of a cow affected with the dis
ease, given to dog produced death
in short time.
The disease has made its appear
ance in various localities in Massa-
chusetts. In one case oxen became
diseased by standing in a black
smiths frame where others having
the disease had been shod. A
farmer in Newbury visited a sick
herd belonging to a neighbor, and
within a week his own herd was
stricken, supposed to have taken the
rom the clothes of the
owner, as his COWS had not been out
of the yard. Salt rubbed in the
mouth in considerable quantities by
a gloved hand, so as not to allow the
saliva to come in contact with the
skin, is considered a very effective

A Captured Chaos.

A correspondent thus describes
Mount Avron after its evacuation
by the French: "A small church
and several large houses resembling
ChateauN, command the crest of the
mount. In these the powerful Ger
man siege guns had left there i'm
press in terrible outlines. The
whole plateau, moreover, was COW
cred with remnants of tents. De-
stroyed furniture also was lying
about. Ovens, hearthstones, tables,
chairs, velvet and plush covered
sofas, easy chairs, costly porcelain
articles shattered into fragments,
muskets, portions of human bodies,
water butts, stores of gunpowder,
exploded and unexploded shells,
shrapnel, empty wine bottles, oyster
shells, toilet glasses-in short,
everything conceivable and incon-
ceivable was scattered in charming
confusion, and the mount was
sprinkled all over with bits of iron.
The large quantity of scattered
furniture and articles of luxury
showed that the French had settled
down here with great comfort ''as
though it was to last forever"
laughingly remarked my cicerone.
We made our way with some trouble
through this terrible chaos, and
chose here and there an object as
souvenir. 1 took, for instance,a book
the '.Life of Jesus, in
which an officer made an entry that
we were the first civilians who had
visited Mount Avron after its cap
ture by the Germans.

Married Men.

There is an expression in the face
of good married man, who has a
good wife that a bachelor cannot
have. 1t is indiscribable. He. is a
little nearer the angels than the
prettiest young fellow living. You
can see that his broad breast is q
pillow for somebody's head, and
that little fingers pull his whiskers.
No one ever mistakes the good mar
ried man. tits only the erratic one
who leaves you in doubt. The
good can protect all the unprotected
females, and make himself generally
agreeable to the ladies, and yet new
er leave doubt on any mind that
there is precious little woman at
home worth all the world to him.

The Heart of Iron and CLAY.

The law of nature is, that GER
tain quantity of work IS necessary
to produce a certain quantity of
good, of any kind whatever. If you
want knowledge, you must toll for
it; if food, you must toll for it; and
if pleasure, you must toll for it.
But men do not acknowledge this
law, or strive to evade it, hoping to
get their knowledge, and food, and
pleasure for nothing; and in this
effort they either fail of getting them
and remain ignorant and miserable.
or they obtain them by making
other men work for their benefit,
and then they are tyrants and rob
bers. Yes, and worse than robbers.
L am not one who, in the least,
doubts or disputes the progress of
this century in many things useful
to mankind; but it seems to me a
very dark sign respecting us, that
we look with so much indifference
upon dishonesty and cruelty in the
pursuit of wealth. In the dreams
of Nebuchadnezzar it was only the
feet that were part of iron and part
clay; but many of us are now get
ting so cruel in our avarice that it
seems as if, in us, the heart were
part of iron and part of clay.-RUs-

Norway Oats.

We have already frequently allu-
ded to the Ramsdell Norway Oats.
The excitement about this new ce-
real seems to be on the increase
among farmers, and We understand
that large sales are being made.
There can no longer be any well
grounded doubts about the superb
ority of this grain, and We eongrat
ulate the farmers upon the final,
positive recognition of great i'm
provement.
The propositions of Ramsell&Co.,
are so liberal, and yet based upon so
sound business principles, in the pc
culiar management of business
which these gentlemen so well un-
derstand, that they come within the
reach and means of every farmer.
The enterprise of this firm can
not be questioned; and the increas
ing magnitude of their business,
which may well challenge attention,
not only brings to them great sue
CCSS anu piOHt, pue 10 al eNb,
yet an indisputable argument of the
superiority OF the Norway Oats,and
their very large acceptance with the
farmers.
This firm,and their aSSociates,not
only intend to revolutionize cereal
product on this continent, but, as We
are informed, expect to find much
larger field, the coming year, on the
eastern continent, and are now dis
posing of quantity of their grain,
and securing the crop for this pur-
pose.
Messrs. Ramsdell Il Co., at tine
end OF the last harvest, held 500
contracts with farmers for their Nor
way oats, at 81 per bushel; they
have up to the present time, redeem
cd seven hundred and forty-three
of these, and the remaining one
hundred and seven they intend to
redeem as fast as they can get to
them.
Farmers holding these contracts
have only to exercise a little pa
tience, and they will have their con-
tracts duly Observation-Disclosures.

influence of Cold on Mich
Cows.

Cows that are in mich, or that
have been MIXED late, are peculiarly
sensitive to cold; and they are fire.
quently injured by being exposed
to storms. By getting wet and be-
cunning chilled, pulmonary COM
plants and other diseases are in
duced, and thus far the farmer has
a sick animal on his hands which is
q source of trouble, anxiety, and
not unfrequently total loss. Many
of the troubles that come upon cows
at the period of calving may be
traced directly to exposure during
the winter, and therefore, on this
account alone, will it pay the farmer
to shelter his stock on the approach
of storms, either wind, or snow, or
rain. During those days in winter
that are sunny and warm, there may
be no objection to allowing stock to
run at large in the yard the greater
portion of the day, but in extreme
cold weather, three quarters of an
hour in the morning and the same
length of time in the afternoon, to
slake their thirst at the trough, will
give tim all the exercise needed.
The remaining portion of the time
they will be better in a warm, well
ventilated stable, where they can
quietly ruminate without fear of be-
ing hooked and driven about by
master cows.

A Curious Wedding.

In a little town in the county OF
Marion, Missouri, few days ago, a
curious wedding took place, and the
preliminaries leading to that import
ant event are thus described: Mr..
Joseph Chapman and Miss Nanny
Hutchison engaged in game of
forfeits-that is to say, they each
agreed to do certain things which,
if not copied by. the other party was
to subject the one refusing to the
payment of a specified forfeit. Both,
by the way, were engaged for mar
riage to other parties. Joseph de-
clared that he could beat Nanny
that very day by getting married.
Nanny retorted that he could not
run into greater danger on the mat
rimonial track than she was willing
to do. Neither would give in or re-
treat an inch, and each vowed that
there would be a wedding that night
unless the other withdrew. 1t hap
pened that no other clergyman lived
nearer than Emerson, a town four
miles away. The young man pro-
posed to go after this minister, and
have the nuptials solemnized then
and there. The young lady, with
shrewdness, not to say a suspicious
ness, that does her honor, said she
would go along too. Hence they
sharted together in buggy, with
no real purpose, it is said, even
then, of figuring as principals in
and leaving their acquaint-
ances laughing at what they deemed
a tirst-rate joke. t..'.,-- -.
They arrived at the clergyman's
house, each armed with the indom-
table resolution not to give in, each
however, secretly believing that
when matters came to a decisive
point, the other would back down.
But Nanny was full of pluck, and |
so was Joe, and the pair were mar
RED in the buggy as it stood before
5he parsons door, and returned to
heir friends as Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Chapman. Whether this marrying |
n haste may produce the proverbial
eisurely repentance, or whether two
actions of breach of promise may
grow out Of the affair, time must re-
solve. Meantime, the sudden mar
'iage has created a great local SEN
'ation, as the parties, up to the mo-
nent the knot was tied, did not
want to marry each other, had never

How Jerry L. Goliath Henry
Wilson) Used to Work at
His Trade. .il

1t may or it may not be generally
known that Senator Henry Wilson,
now serving his sixteenth year in
the Senate, and just elected for six
more, used to be shoemaker, and
that his original name was Jerry L.
Goliath, of Natick, Massachusetts.
Those who do not agree with Mr..
Wilson'S opinions cannot fail to give
him credit for having worked his
way "onward and upward" with
success in which the suppression or
concealment of these opinions has
had nothing to do. The "Shoe and
Leather Reporter" pleasantly refers
to Wilson's early career as follows:
Goliath worked hard; he wanted
money, and was determined to have
an education, both at once, and that
Immediately. He had worked on
farm, as bound boy, near his ma
tive place, until attaining his major
ity, where the craving of his spirit
for high honors and distinction had
been measurably filled in the renown
accorded to the conquering hero, for
it is beyond dispute that he invari
ably came off victorious in his en-
counters with the local bullies,
whose fame ranked in the mind of
the jealous champion who could
brook no rival. Wonderful stories
are told of Colbath-how he worked
or studied all night, and sometimes
unremittingly for thirty-si hours.
Once he undertook to make fifty
pairs of shoes without sleep; that
job was then reckoned a weeks
work. Commencing on Monday
morning, he got as far as the forty
seventh shoe on Wednesday night,
but the pegs, as they made the cir
cult of the sole, had begun to as
sumo the picturesque zigzag of the
Virginia worm fence, and nothing
prevented the smashing of fingers
save the waning energy with which
the hammer came down while the
future Senator slept. Jerry Goliath
subsequently became quite well
known as Henry Wilson, and man
ufactured shoes for some time at
Natick on his own account.
Mr.. Wilson's subsequent change
of name was for REASONS satisfac-
tory to and creditable to himself,
and which are of no great interest
to the reader-possibly none of his
business. His political history is
well known. I- tHe

Sleep.

Every man must sleep according
to his temperament. Eight hours
is the average. Ifhe requires a lit
tie more or a little less, he will find
it out for himself. Whoever by work,
pleasure, sorrow, or by any other
cause, is regularly diminishing his
sleep,.is destroying his life. A man
may hold out for time, but Nature
keeps close account, and no man can
deceive her. As there is more brain
work than ever, so more sleep is re-
quired now than in the time of our
forefathers. The want of sleep is
frequently the cause of insanity.

Fruit Garden.

Drarf Trees will need pruning,
washing with soap or I've, protection
against insects, ETC., and such other
care as has already been suggested
for trees in the orchard.
Pruning of small limbs may be
done with the knife wherever neces-
sary, to bring trees into shape.
Grape Viaes not attended to last
autumn should be pruned in the
first mild spell that occurs.
Strawberries may be set as soon
as plants can be procured, and the
frostis fairly out of the ground.
TreU,ses will be needed for grapes,
and posts should be got out. Where
durable timber is scarce, set a short
locust post in the ground, and spike
to it an upright of other wood.
BlackberTieS and RaspbeITies
should be set as early as the con
dition of the soil will allow. The
underground shoots,which will form
the canes of next season, start very
early, and are likely to be injured
if the setting is left until late.

The Kind of Women for
Wives,

Let the true nature and object OF
marriage be better understood in
accordance with the natural laws,
in the physical qualifications and
adaptations of the parties entering
tin proper knowledge of the
duties and responsibilities growing
out of this relation. Let the quail
ties most sought for in marriage be
changed; instead of the slender
form, the small waist, the accom-
plishment Of a fashionable educa-
ton, the choicest decorations of the
person-let the well developed body,
good health, sound constitution, a
practical knowledge of domestic du-
ties, be the qualities most preferred
the indispensable prerequisites,
We should then have an increase OF
healthy offspring, less discomfort in
the family, a far less number of di-
vorces, and more perfect union
between the husband and wife, in
all their interests, comforts and
happiness of life.

How to Get Rid of Rats aud
-. - Mice.

A gentleman of large experience,
and fully as humane as most of us,
says he gets rid of rats by putting
potash in their holes and runs. The
poor wretches get it on their feet,
and over their fur, then they lick it,
and don't like the taste of it; it
burns them somewhat,and the more
they see of it the less they like it;
so they clear out almost as soon as
the application is made. To get rid
of mice, the same person uses tartar
emetic, mingled with any favorite
food; they take it,take sick, and take
their leave. ,. r.a.f .... a.
