Saw ye the weary farmer ut his plOw,
As yc wero riding byl
Or wearicd meath the noon-day toll.
When the summer suns were highi
And thought you that his lot was hard,
And did you thank your God
That you and yours were not condemned
Thus like slave to podp
Come. sec him at his harvest houic,
When garden. Geld, aud tree,
Conspire with flowing store to Gil
His barn and granary.
His heathful children gaily sport
Amid the new w-mown hay,

His tasks ns best they may.
The Harvest Giycr is bis friend,
The Maker Of fle soil,
And earth, the mother, gives them bread,
And cheers their patient toll;
Come join them round their wintry hearths;
The heartfelt pleasures see
And you can btttcr judge how blest
The farmers life may be,

Patience with Little Ones.

Be patient with little ones.
Let neither their slow understand
ing ror their occasional pertness
offend You, or provoke the sharp
reproof. Remember, the world is
new to them, and they have no
slight task to grasp, with their
unripencd intellects, the mass Of
facts and truth that crowd upon
their attention. You are grown
to maturity and strength, through
years Of experience. and it il! be-
comes you to fret at the little child
that fails TO keep pace with your
thonyht. Teach him patiently
as God teaches you, cline upon
line, precert upon prccept; here y
little. there q little" Cheer him
on in this conflict with mind in
after years his ripe, rich thought
shall rise up and call you blessed.
Biic patiently the endless oucs-
tionlny Of your children. Do not
roughly crush the sprlnging spirit
of free inquiry with an impatient
word or frown, nor attempt, on
the contrary, long and instruc-
tive reply to every slight and
casual question. Seek, rather,
to deepen their curiosity, convert,
if possible, the careless question
into a profound and earnest in
quiry. Let your reply send the
little questioner forth, not so much
proud Of what he has learned,
as anxious to know more. Happy
you, it in giving your child the
fragment of truth be asks for. you
can whet his curiosity with a
glimpse of the mountain of truth
lying beyond; so you will send
forth a philosopher, and not q
silly pedant, into the world. Bear
patiently the childish humors Of
the little ones. They are but the
untutored pleadings Of the young
spirit for care and cultivation.
lrritated into strength and hard
ened into habits, they will hunt
the whole of life like fends in des-
pair, and make your little ones curse
the day they were born; but COR
rected kindly and patiently, they
become the element of happiness
and usefulness. Passions are but
fires that either scorch US with
their uncontrolled fury. Or may
yield US a genial and needful
warmth. Bless pour little ones
with a patient care of their child
hood, aud they will certainly con-
secrate the glory and grace Of
their manhood to your service.
Sow in their hearts the seed of 4
perennial blessedness ; it's ripened
fruit will afford you a perpetual
joy.-Mother's Friend.

1t has been proved that more
rain falls in wooded than agricul-
tural districts. For instance At
two stations at an equal height
above the sea, buc separated be-
tween Is and 20 miles, and one
situated in a wooded and the
other in an agricultural country,
the excess of rain in the wooded
country was as follows: For
eight months, 1866, 3.99 inches;
for eight months: 1867, 2.48 in
ches; for eight months. 1868, 4.64
inches. It is also shown that the
mean annual temperature is lower
in the woods than in the open
country, and that the difference is
least in winter and greatest in
summer. In July, 1868, the mean
temperature of the forest was low
er than that Of the open fields, by
4.35 degrees in the morning, and
9.93 degrees at night; Whlch dl1c-
renee fell in December to 9.49 de-
grees in the morning, and O.94
degrees at night. Again, the av-
erage variation in temperature
was much greater in the open
country than under the cover of
the forest between day and night.

/ DEBARRED FROM THE THEATRE.
"Do you ever 90 to the theatres
or other places OF amusement and
laugh ?" inquired the reporter.
! "Oh, yes" answered Bill, land
| must tell you about that. Why,
sir, in Philadelphia the doorkeep-
crs at the theatres. negro min
strel places, and variety shows all
have orders not to let me in un-
less | promise not to laugh at the
performance. A funny incident
occurred one night at Fox's while
! was :herr. | was as sober as a
judge for about half an hour, for
there was nothing to laugh at.
when French dancing woman
appeared on the stage and began
cavorting up and down. 1 began
to laugh. The whole audience
joined me. That's laughing Billy
they exclaimed. The French
danseuse stopped dancing and
gazed at me and at the audience
in mute astonishment. I then
stopped laughing, and she resumed
her dance. The moment she did
SO l began laughing. Of course
there was nothing to laugh at;
but I did it out Of pure mischief:
She stopped dancing again, and
[ stopped laughing. Again she
began, and l began. At last she
left the stage with an indignant
toss Of her head and a most ex.
pressive shrug of her pretty shoul-
ders, about as mad a woman as
you ever saw
Didn't an officer Of the theatre
speak to you about your conduct"
asked the reporter.
"Yes," Bill answered, "and I
promised him l would not laugh
any more; but the audience con-
tinued to laugh, more or less, un-
til the performance was over"

Reporter-Have you rlaugh-
cd while visiting the theatres Of
any other city?
Laughing Bill-No. I usually
refrain from indulging in my
mirth, at least l dc not laugh very
loudIy, because l do not wish to
make myself so notorious as that.
1t would attract too much atten-
ton to myself and injure me, per-
hapS, in business point OF view.
In Philadelphia | am at home,
and where everybody knows me,
and where feel I can do pretty
much as please.
In conclusion, Laughing Bill
said he was ready to laugh against
any man in the United States for
from 800 to $500 side.
The reporter then cordially
shook Laughing Bill by tho hand,
for no one could be anything else
but cordial with so amiable a
man thanked him and bid him
goodbye.

And We had words together,
To show that l wonld master be
I'd whip her with feather!
If then SIZE, like naughty girl.
Would tyranny declare it,
I'd give my love cross OF pearl,
And always make her bear it
If still she tried to Sulk and sigh,
And threw away my posieS.
I'd catch my darling on the sly,
Aud smother her with roses.
But should she clench her dilnpled fists,
Or contradict her betterS,
I'd manacle her tiny wrists
With dainty golden fetters
And if she dared her lips to pout,
Like many pert young misses,
I'd wind my arm her waist about,
And punish her with kisses:

Tue HORSE D1srEMPER.-Gen. B. S.
Roberts, I. S. a. writes that in 1868 8
a disease similar to this which now pre-.
walls, broke out at Fort Sumner, New
Mexico At first it defed all treatment,
and the greater majority Of our horses
attacked by it died. On examining
the throats of the dead horses, I found
the lining membrane Of larynx highly
infamed and thickened, and thick mu-
cous pus filing It, causing suffocation.
! ordered all horses, on the appearance
of the disease, to be thoroughly rubbed
between the jaws and along the larynx
down the neck with spirits of turpen,ine
causing 9 very severe external irritation
and blister.
saved every horse thus treated, and
in very few days entirely broke the
distemper and checked the epidemic.
| do not doubt that thousands of hor-
ses where the epidemic prevails, can be
saving by adopting this treatment. 1t
acts more quickly as q coanter.irritant
than any other remedy I know, and re-
lieves the fever of the membrane Of the
larynx in very few hours. Besides,
spirits Of turpentine is always at hand,
and can be more readily applied than
any other counter.irritant. It should be
thoroughly rubbed in through the hair
to the skin for distance ofsome twelve
or fifteen inches, under the jaws and
down the neck of the horse, Immediately
over the larynx. The remedy is severe
and makes the skin sore for several weeks,
and for an hour causes great suffering TO
the horse. But it acts promptly and
effectively, and in my judgement it will
be fouLd the pest, and perhaps the only
cure for this fatal malady, causing
Suffering and loss among horses through,
out the country.
