Whether this haranguc was addressed to
the world in general, or was for the cspe-

table near by, inserting a pair of shears
into piece of cloth, we do not know.
The young lady made no reply, but mis-
chievous smile fitted over her face, and
silence followed, uubroken save by the
venGcful snap of the shears as they closed
over the cloth, and the loud tick of the
clock in the corner. Suddenly Aunt .Ieru-

Taking OF Hides.

Being a worker In the leather manufac-
ture, have constantly under my notice the
awkward manner in which the farming com
munity take off the hides of animals of
their own slaughter The hind leg, for in
stance, being slit up along the under, or,
perhaps, inner side, so as TO leave the hook
9t the hide in the form OF skull cap. As
upon being brought into work, every part
must be made to lie fiat, this portion has to
be opened by cutting unsightly strips, which
materially impair lis usefulness.
The following directions NAV assist the
novice in performing the operation:
We will suppose the animal dead and
placed upon its back the operator by
thrusting his knife point foremost and edge
up, makes slit the entire length of the car
cass, from the chin over the centre of the
breast In the line OF the navel to the vent.
Let him now stand by its Side, with his face
looking the way the head lies, and taking
the fore foot in his left hand, run the point
Of bis knife in the line Of the cleft of the
foot and cap of the knee, up the front of
the leg and into the central slit of the
bosom. For the hind leg, having reversed
his position, let the slit be made in the line
of the heel, over the centre Of the cap of
the hook, down the back Of the ham into
the central slit. In this way the hide when
spread out will have a square form without
long projections, and consequent deep in
dentations Of It's outline fCor. Canada

IN passing through the country, why is it
that we see only few farms that seem to
BE we'll fenced, and on which the dwellings
and other farm buildings are in good repair?
these few farms are always free from
weeds, and invariably yield good crops of
all KINDS. The owners of these premises
attend 10 their business. They make busi-
ness of farming. They get their crops in
at the proper season, and harvest them
when they are properly matured. Their
cash accounts is always in their favor, the
balance being on the right side. They have
no time to waste at the tayerns or groceries.
II they have spare time, it is devoted to
self-culture. They always subscribe and
pay for their local paper first, and others
are not discarded They and their families
are well Informed upon the current topics
OF the day. Their children are educated,
wellrdad, and wel-bred. These men are
the SUBS antial and influential men of the
town 1hey Keep it respectable. They sup
port the schools and the churches. These
are the men to whom the country ever LOOKS
in time of need. They always have opin-
ions upon subjects, and their views are
never in market. Ever open to conviction,
never to corruption, they may sometimes
be little exclusive, but they are ever ready
TO assist their less favored neighbors to rise
to the same plane upon which they stand.
they are reserved but true, cautions but
sure and they constitute the hope and safety
Of our republic.

The Faces We Meet.
Oh. the faces we meet

Oh, the faces we meet
In the crowded street.
With their smiling lips or their weary eye;
And the clouds of care
Which they often wear,
As they hurry swiftly by.
There are faces rs gay
As the waves that play
ON the sunny sand of an islet green;
There are eyes as bright
As the jewels light
That falls on the brow of queen.
There are tresSes OF bair
Like golden snare,
And they catch many hearts in their meshe
There are locks like the night
On mountain night,
Ere the daystar heralds the dawn.
There are hrows as free
As a latd-locked sea,
NO storms have driven, no tempest tossed;
And brows as black
As the desoate track
Which the fire-t has crossed,
There are lips whose smile,
Without malice or guile,
Light the face As the sun lights the sea;
And lips where sneer
Chils the blood as with fear,
At its dark magnity.
OH the faces we meet
In the crowded street.
With careworn brows or with gladsome eye;
Are picture of life, made
flight and shade
As they pass us swiftly by.
