What we Should Eat.

Those who expect to think, says the
chronological journal, should not eat
much food which simply produces
warmth and fat, such as ham, fat pork,
white bread, butter rice, tapi0ca an d
starch. These contain very little
phosphate food, being cabonaceous.
The proper food for laboring men-
We mean those who have to exercise
muscular strength chieily-should be
that which contains the greatest
amount Of nitrogen. Among these
barley and cheese stand high. The
red flesh OF the OK or sheep and I'M
bolted bread are the leading articles.
Men who train prize fighters seem to
understand much better than others
how to build up physical strength and
endurance. When their battle or
their race is ended they lay aside their
beef and mutton, and fall into their
old habits Of drinking and of eating
STRENGTHENING articles, such rs rice,
fine bread, pudding, with fat meat and
butter, and they Don become as fat
and lazy rs these carbonaceous arti-
cles can make them. If a man wants
to stand the cold he may eat buck
wheat cakes with butter, strip, fat
pork and beans; but let him look out,
when hot weather comes, for bilious
fever, pimples on the face, and u rank
smell ofthe whole system, and a mud
dy, dirty complexion. Men living
atthe North Pole, or near it, can drink
fish oil by the quart, or eat pounds OF
cake tallow, and the cold climate will
burn it out; but in warm or temperate
regions the food should be so selected
~ to furnish nourishmcnt for muscle,
bone, brain, AMI warmth in proper
proportions.
The student should eat articles
which are pretty largely charged with
phosphates Of brain food; the laborer,
those articles containing nitrate, OF
food for muscle; and those who arc
much exposed to cold, but not rcquil'
cd to exert great muscular strength,
that kind Of food which is largely
charged with carbonates, or heat
producers.

Cutting Corn Stalks.

Nearly every spring or winter I
notice in tho agricultural papers in
quiries for, or advertisements of corn
stalk cutters. Now almost every
farmer in the West who has much

best stalk cutters made for that use.
| refer to a good largo forty tooth

know how to use it, and l will tell
you how | have done it for several
years, and likei it the best Of any way
| have tried or seen, to prepare tho
stalks for blowing under. Select the
first aud every real dry day, sunny
day (till the work is dOne), and not
before nine or ten O'Clock, or when
the stalks are perfectly dry and brit.

before the harrow, and as much
weight Oh top of it as they can walk
! of lively with without worrying
them ; pass over two rows of stalks.
ct is immatcrial whether it is the
same way | intend to plow or not
At the end turn around and go back
over the same two rows and you
will find them broken and crumbled
up finer than any cutter with knives
will do if, and what is of more consc-
quencc than the fineness, is that
most of the stalks will be broken
from the roots at the surface of the
ground which is much better than il
even a few inches Of stalks adhere to
the roots. If but two horses sre used,
it works better to spread them so
that they will straddle two rows in
stead of one. This is done by splic-
ing or frightening in some way the
inside reins about two feet four in
ches. A long evener is better, but
not indispensable. Remember to OPP
crate only when the stalks are per-
fectly dry, and the drier and tirmer
the ground the better, so as to hold
the roots, instead of their being
drawn out of the ground by tho har-
row.. Those who have used stalk
cutters know that the best of them
do not work satisfactorily only in
like conditions of perfect dryness.
The sharper your harrow teeth the
better, for this as well as all other
work.-AmercaN Farm Journal.

The Bible.

The Bible is read Of II Sunday in
all The thirty thousand pulpits Of the
land. In all the temples Of Chris
tendon is its voice lifted up week by
week. The sun never sets on its
cleaning page. 1t goes equally to
the cottage OF the plain man and the
palace OF the king. II is woven into
the literature Of the scholar and
cOlors the talk OF the street. The
bark of the merchant "a not sail
the seas without it-no ship Of war
goes to the conflict, but the Bible is
there. IL enters mems closets,
minglcs in all the grief and cheerful
ness of life. The allianccd maiden
prays God in Scripture for strength
in her ncw dutics-mcn are married
by Scripture. The Biblo attends
them in their sickness; when the
fever of the world is on them, the
aching head finds Il softer pillow if
its leaves lie underneath. The mar
incr escaping from shipwrcck clutch
cs this first of his treasures and
keeps it sacred to God. It goes with
the pcddlcr in his crowded pace,
cheers him at cvcntidc when he sits
down dusty and iatigucd, and bright
ems the freshness of his morning
face. II blcsscs us when we arc born,

our sermons. 1t lifts mGn above
himself; our best of uttered prayers
are in its storicd speech, where with
our fathers and the patriarchs prayed.
The timid man, about awakening
from this dream OF life, looks through
the glass of Scripture, and his eyes
grow bright; he does not fear to
stand alone, to tread the way, I'M
known and distant, to take the Death

NAPOLEON.
The Plans md Aspirations Of the
Ex-EmpcrOr.

NEW YORK, Aug, ia gentleman
has Just returned from Europe where
he has been on intimate social rela-
lions with the French Imperial family,
informs an interviewer OF a morning
paper that believesi in his early restora-
ton, that the Government Of Theirs
IL regarded as q mere make-shift, and
that his death at that time would lie
followed by another civil war. Gam
beta is looked upon as IN ambitious,
intriguing, able man. Bazaine waits
for history to justify him lie Boeruli is
wretched creature. The Empress is
well, and intends to send the Prince
on a tour through the United States
when he is 1t little older. The lmpe-
rial family receive the attention of roy
atty and the nobility of England.
There are two parties in France, the
Im%perialists and Red Republicans.
The Bourbons are no where. European
diplomatists abroad favor his return,
believing the restoration of Napoleon
could keep in subsection the disorderly
elements of the French which are now
a constant menace to Europe.
1t Is also stated that England Is
threatened with serious revolutionary
troubles, and it was believed that the
Government would satisfy demands of
the ueOple.

Raising Poultry.

Poultry raising is a subject in
which all are interested, for those
who do not engage practically In the
rearing of poultry are interested in
ham and eggs" and, therefore, all
should encourage chicken raising.
In order to make poultry an object
of interest, the same principles should
be adopted that govern the rearing
of fine blooded cattle and horses. AS
it is a settled question that good cat
tie and horses pay better than poor
ones, so also should it be considered
as settled that good fowls pay better
than those of an inferior class.
There are two classes Of fowls
claiming special attention - lwycrs
and s%itters, and everlasting layers
and non-sittcrs. If it is the desire
to obtain both eggs and chickens
the first class should be selected bn'
if eggs only are the object, the latter
class should be adopted.

Many years ago, when, in this
country neither railroads nor wag-
on roads, were to be seen, but Indian
trails alone in the vast wilderness,
one day it Glanced that an English
gentleman, Kirkland by name, with a
companion was riding down the
Pensacola trail, from the Creek nation
and carryinga cons dcrablo amount OF
silver with which to make purchases
at the Floridian mart. Late in the
evening, as he approached the ford of
n considerable stream, he met three
noted ruilians, passed on, crossed the
ford, and campcd for the night. AT
ter dark those three cut-throats
stole back TO Kirkland's camp, muir
dercd him and his companion while
they slcrt, aud then made of with
their booty. When McGilivray
the magnanimous Chief of the
Greeks at that time, heard of this
iiandish act, he sent his warriors in.
all directions, in search of its perpe-
traitors they found but one, the ring
leader. The chief sent him back
under a strong guard TO the very spot
where KS life had been taken, and
the wretch cxpiated his crime under
the identical tree whose foliage had

A Sunbeam.

The greatest Of physical paradoxcs
is in the sunbeam. 1t is the most
potent and versatile force VIC have,
and yet it behaves itself like the gen.
tlest and most accommodating. Moth
ing can fall more softly Dr. more ST.
lently upon the earth than the rays of
our great luminary-not even the
feathcry fakes of snow, which thread
their way through the atmosphere as
If they were too iilmy to yield to the
demands Of gravity, like grosscr
things. The most delicate slip OF
gold-lcaf exposed as a target to the
| SUMS shafts, is not stirred to the cx-
tent of n hair, though an infants
| faintcst breath would setit into trcm-
ulous motion. The tcndcrcst of hui
man organs--thc apple of the eye
though pierced and buflctcd each day
by thou sands of sunbeams, suffers no
pain during the process, but rejoices
in their sweetness, and blcsscs the
useful light. Yet n few Of those rays,
%insinnuating themselves into a mass
of iron, like the britannia Tubular
Bridge, will compel the closcly.knit
particles to separate, and will move
the whole enormous fabric with as
much case as a giant would stir q
straw. The play of those beams up
on our sheets of water lifts up layer
after layer into the atmosphere, and
HOSTS whole rivers from their beds,
only to drop them upon the hills, or
in %fattening showers upon the plains.
Let but the air drink in a little more
sunshine at n place than another,
and out of it springs the tempest or
the hurricane, which dcsolatcs q
whole region in its lunatic wrath
The marvel is that u power which
is capable of assuming such a diver
sity of forms, and producing such stu
