Hollow Horn in Cattle.

This disease begins in the tail of the
animal. Any one who has seen it once
can tell it by seeing if tho tail has a
twist in the brush of the end. 1t will
be found, on examination, from one to
four inches on the end, that the tail
has no bone in it. Now slit this with a
sharp knife up to the bone, and let it
bleed freely, and you rctard the disease.
This horn disease is only peculiar to
old cattle. When the horns are hollow
all life is gone from them, and no life
remains in them more than in your
finger nails when you cut them. You
can bore them and inject vinegar and
pepper into them, and plug them up
until the fluid is absorbed, and then in
ject more; but the animal had better
not be kept for milk as it would not be
healthy, but turned out and f;tttened
70" beef as soon as the disease is rcmov-
d.-E.rcit02gc.

The Druminer Boy.

In Il certain regiment there was n
drummer boy only thirteen years old,
who was also a Sunday scholar. One
day, while marching through thcstreets,
the captain saw II very beautiful flag.
nylng over gin palace, aud ordered
his men to halt and give it Il salute.
The boy had always obeycd orders, but
this time he thought the salute was
meant Tor tho place as we'll as for the
flag, and he stood still, and not a sin
gle beat was heard from his drum.
The captain sternly asked him tn.
reason of this.
tsSir," said the brave lad, sI would
not go into such place as that, and 1
cannot salute IT'D
"My good boy" replied the captain,
patting him on the shoulder, "you arc
right and i am wrong"

Keep Your Word.

When you promise to do Il thing, be
sure to keep your word, as we'll for the
sake Of truth as in justice to others.
This very interesting story is told of {,
boy who was singularly faithful to his
word
He had borrowed Il tool from Il neigh
Dor, promising to return it at night.
Before evening he was sent away on
an GRAND and did not return until
late. Before he went he was told that
his brothers should see the tool return
ed. After he had come home and gone
to bed, he inquired and found the tool
had not been sent tots owner. lie
was much distressed to think his
promise was not kept, but was per-
suaded to go to sleep and rise carly
and carry it home. By daylight he
was up and nowhere was the tool to be
found. After long and fruitless
search, he set off for his neighbours, in
great distress, to acknowledge his fault
But how great was his surprise to find
the tool on his neighbours doorstep!
And it then appeared, from the prints
of little bare feet on the mud, that the
lad had got UP In his sleep and carried
the tool home, and went to bed again
and knew it not. OF course, Il boy
who was prompt in his. sleep was
prompt when awake. He lived res
pectcd, had the confidence of his
neighbors and was placed in many
Offices Of trust and profit.

mind it was but yesterday
The sun. was dim, the air was chill;
: below the town. below the hill,
Tho sails Of my sons ship did fill
My Jacob, who..was sast away.
He said, "God keep.y mother, DEAR"
But did not turn to kiss his wife;
They had some foolish, idle strife;
IIer tongue was like n two-cdged knife,
= And he was proud as any peer.
Howbeit that night took no note
Ofsea nor sky, forsall was 'drear;
I marked not that the hills looked near,
Nor that the moon, tho curved and clear,
Through cnrd-lil<e send did driye and float
For with my darling went the joy
OF autumn woods and meadows brown
came to hate the little town;
It seemed as if the survivor down
With him, my only darling boy.
It was the middle Of the night,
Tho wind it shifted west by south;
1t piled high up the harbor mouth;
The marshes, black with. summer drouth,
We're all abroad with sea-foam white.
It was the middle Of tho night
The sea upon the garden leapt,
And my sons wife in quiet slept,
And I, his mother, walked and wept,
When 10 there came sudden light.
And there he stood! his seaman's dress
All wet and dripping seemed to be;
The pale blue fires of the sea
Dripped from his garments constantly
could not speak through cowarlncss.
''Through storm, night and DEATH" said no,
ITO kiss my wife, if it SO be
That strife still holds 'twixt her aad mo,
For all beyond is peace he said.
''The sea is His, and he who sent
The wind and wave can soothe their strife
And brief and foolish sour life.'
He stopped and kissed is.sleeping wife,
Then sighed, and like dream, ho won't.
Now, when my darling kissed not me,
/ But her-his wife-who did not wake,
My heart within mo seemed to break;
swore o vow! nor henceforth spake
or what my clearer eyes did see.
When the slow weeks brought him not
Somehow we spoke of aught beside;
For she-her hope upheld her pride:
And lin me all hope had died,
And my son:passed as if forgot.
1t was about the next spring-tide,
She pinned and faded where she stood;
She spako no word of ill or good;
She had the hard, cold Edwards blood
In all her veins, and so she died.
One time thought, before she passed,
To give her peace, but ore spal<o
Methought, "He will be first to break
The news in Heaven," and for his sake
held mine back until the last.
And here sit, nor care to roam;
only wait to hear his call;
doubt not that this day, next fall,
Shall SEQ mo safe in port, where all
And every ship Mt last comes homo.
&, And you have sailed the Spanish main,
And know my Jacob? -; Eth! Mercy
All, God of Wisdom, hath tho sea
Yielded its dead to humble mo?

Dor really thinks this would fix things
comfortably and be source Of relief"
Relief and comfort for whom? Not for
Sambo, surely. There are souls enough
already on San Domingo, without trans
porting a half million more there
But where is the authority for ban
ishing the negroes. Why not Danish

far less expensive, aud quite as

But, says this benevolent man of the
Pioneer, 1.-THE nation cannot endure half

relate Dear Sir, why not volu ntarily
get out of it then? Are your rights
any more aired than those Of the Ne

dogma which you say Judge fancy did
not utter, namely: THAT the negro
has no rights which white man is
bound to respect" How is this neigh
Dor?

Uucle Samuel really needs the consent

Never Complete.

Oar JOY is never unalloyed. The
boy with his hand-sled comes nearer to
perfect happiness than the king upon
his throne. Yet. even the boy is en-
vious. lie wants the best sled, and a
servant TO draw il. The little girl with
her doll is not fully content. There
is a selishness still unsatisfed The
young man with flying steed and gay
equipage is not perfectly happy. Nay,
his outfit is not complete. The clown
with his donkey is happier than he, yet
the clown is murmuring still
Mans happiness here is never com
plete 1t is said of Alexander that he
wept aecause there were no more worlds
for him to conquer His thirst for
conquest had only been increased by
success, The thirst for power was new
er s1tlated, and it never will be. The
farther we roam among the rich aud
great. the farther shall we be from Joys
complete. The cottage is the abode Of
more happiness more pleasure than
he palace, and the humblest log cabin
can often claim a greater share than eli.
ther.
The moral of this lesson ia, learn to
be content. Make the best Of your con
dtion in life, and the less fault you
find with yourself, your family, your
friends, aud with the world. the nearer
complete will be your happiness on
earth. Make the best Of every thing,
aud avoid a habit of fault finding which
is not only disagreeable, but absolutely
pernicious in its consequence.

The Old Year and the
New.

The world is rollinZ on. Time like
the tide its motion keeps, and the earth
will soon have completed one more cir
cult around Its great central Sun
And vet its motion ceases not no fric
ton retards it, no attraction accelerates
it.
Not SO with man. His nature is
change. First warm-then cold, and
unto dust he must return. We vel
come the New Year. We ring out
the old" and ring in the New" with
joyful peals. But wherefore Joyful
4 million hearts that but twelve months
agone beat high aud warm in living
bosoms, now lie cold in the embrace of
death, and ere another year rolls round
a million more will lie beside them. -
La the nearer aud dearer relations of
human life, We look around for many
of those who, but few short months
ago, were living in strength aud beauty
by our sides, aud whose hearts beat in
unison with our own. Where are they
now? They are gone. Like the leaves
of the forest, thew have fallen,-yea,
they are scattered aud stregn, and
many Of them lie beneath the cold aud
silent clods Of the valley, which now
wrap them forever from our sight.
But such is human life. The bells
ring out for joy while ten thousand
hearts are bleeding with pain. Sad
ness and pleasure are mingled IN spite
of ourselves We hope on, and we hope
ever.
