they pay the men enough to live ons'
Between you and me, said he, if they
paid us $40 day we'd steal"
THE New York Times figures up that
the number of railroad accidents in this
country, which were reported in the news
papers, for the year ending November !,
was 107, as the result of which 191 per-
sons were killed and 254 wounded. As
doubtless many of the minor accidents
were not reported in the papers, the list
is not complete, but it is appalling enough
as it stands. Of the accidents reported,
four were collisions, showing a total of
1OS persons killed, and 211 wounded, and
Indicating an astonishing degree OF care
lessness, for when anything like the prop
er precautions are preserved, COLLISION
of trains is nearly impossible. The prln-
cipal railroad disaster of the year was at
Revere. while the New Hamburg IN. ~
tragedy, which occurred February 70,
was next in the magnitude OF its results.
'sDoEs Isaac manifest any taste for
poetry, Mrs. Partingtong' asked the
school-master's wife, while converslng on
the merits of the youthful Partington.
The old lady was basting chicken which
her friends had sent her from the coun-
try. ooh. yesp' said the old lady, smil-
ing; che is very partially fond of poultry,
and it always seems as if he can't get
enough of it." The old spit turned by
the fireplace in response to her answer,

mean" said the lady, "does he show any
of the Divine affiatus?" The old lady
thought for moment. "As for the di-
vine flatness, l don't know about that.
He's had all the complaints of children :;
and when he was a baby he fell and broke
the cartridge of his nose; but | hardly
think he has had this that you speak of"
The roasting chicken hissed and sputter-
ed, and Mrs. Partington basted it again.
MANY a sensitive girl owes over-strung
nerves and congestive brain to the stlmu-
lus of school training. In childhood the
little creature will naturally run and play
so much out of doors, that she will gen
erally be able to preserve pretty good
health At this age the studies chiefly
exercise the memory, and do not demand
great mental effort, but as the girl is ap-
preaching fifteen her lessons require
severe brain labor, their numbers are
multiplied, home duties are eXacted OF
her. musical practice must be kept up,
not to mention others of her accomplish
nlents. She also begins to go into so
ciety :" the intricacies OF fashlonaDle
dress claim a portion of her time and
strength young beaux begin attentions,
and her relations worry her about VINO
may and who may not be encouraged !"
she has no time for the invigorating walks
and romantic musing, which naturally to
her now take the place of childish sports;
over-stimulus of the brain, the depressing
effects of worry" and combined with
these an unsubstantial diet, exhaust the

from over-work of any kind, but espe.

Miss PettingiIl's First Ride i'm the
Cars.

Miss Prudence Pettingill, at the mature
age of siXty-one, made up her mind to
visit New York for the first time in her
life. She had never seen railroad, as
such things had been unknown in Aroos-
took county until this summer, and the
ancient farmhouse in which she lived
was seven miles from the station. So
she sits calmly upon a seat placed on the
great wooden platform which surrounds
the country depot, and gazes with amaze
ment upon he train which pauses few
moments to take on passengers, and then
proceeds upon its journey. The station
master interrogates the old lady, who sits
placidly watching the departing train:
"Why did you not get on, If you wished
to 20 to New York;"
''Git on" said the old lady" git on
| thought this whole consarn went"
Having explained to her that he plat
form was stationary, the man kindly
advises her to wait for the express train,
into which he escorts the maiden, and
finds for her seat by the side of benevo-
lent old gentleman. Clutching fast hold
of the seat in front of her, she is at first
very much alarmed at the speed at which
they are going, but gradually becomes
calm and much interested in the novelty
of her surroundings. The old gentleman
answers her many inquiries very civilly,
and, among other things, tries TO explain
the use of the telegraph wires, and tells
her that messages are sent over them at a
much greater rate of speed than they arc
travelling. "Wa'al, wa'al," says the old
lady, "you don't ketch me a-ridin' on
'em, for this is as fast as l want to 20,
anyhow" She had seen so many wonder
| full things that she makes up her mind mt
/ last not to be astonished at anything; and
when the train dashes into the one which
had preceded it, owing to a misplaced
switch, and the poor old lady is thrown
/ to the end of the car among a heap OF
/ broken seat, she supposes it to be tn,
ordinary manner of stopping, and queitly
remarks. " You fetch up rather sudden
don't ye?" Being provided with seat
in the forward Car, which was uninjured
she arrives without further accident a

Warning words.

The strength and nervous energy Of the human
body ought 10 be increased during The winter, for
two reasons: In the first place, diseases of the
most deadly character may be generated at this
season; and, secondly, it Is Of the utmost impor-
tance that during the cold weather months the
system should be put in condition TO Withstand
the effects Of the Spring miasma, and the subse-
quent depressing heat of Summer. It j. therefore

How are the Calves Kept!

THE practical answer to this question
is given in the result, or the quality, when
the animal is ready for market, Kept for
the dairy, or for breeding purposes. 1t is
generally expected that calves have a
plentiful supply of grass during summer,
but in winter the expense of the food is
not only greater, but more care and labor
are required to provide it in a proper
manner. Rapid deterioration in stock is
evidently the result of bad management,
and poor keeping
All animals mature ut about certain
age, and the size of each depends largely
on the acceleration of growth given dur
ing the growing period. Nor is there a
great saving of food in the fattening pro.
cess-as this quality greatly depends on
the previous keeping, as in the starved
growth of animals the power of assimila-
ton is weakened more than the power of
consumption.
There is no animal that pays better for
; little extra care than the calf nor one
that entails greater loss when neglected in
such a manner as to be sent to market in
such condition as to leave but small mar.
gin above the freights. The great impOr,
tance of this subject is presented in the
wide range of prices in the Chicago market
at this time. We may quote the extreme
range from two to seven dollars per hun
! dred pounds which difference is exceed
ed by nothing in cattle raising, except il
the management of the stock-the frs
I years growth being the most important o
/ all, as calves are more dependent thar
older animals which can subsist on les
( nutritious food.

young animals, but more depends on tn
/ kind than the quantity.
! Where roots are not grown for winte
| supply, even a small quantity of groun,
! food, as of oats or course mill-stuff give
regularly each day with little salt, vii
do wonders in giving tone to the appetite
and the calves win relish and appropriat
food which would otherwise be WORTHLESS
in keeping them in condition.
The main profits of the farm depen
largely on these little attentions give

About Corn Fodder.

DR.. NICHOLAS says, in the Journal Of
Chemistry, that the corn plant, like all 9TH
er vegetable structures, has but one OBJ
iect or aim in its growth, and that is to
produce seed. 1t is engaged during its
whole life in storing up large quantities
of starch, which is to be used when the
pressing occasion arrives, or the seed yes
sells mature, to form by some subtle, mys-
terious changes the rich nutrient princi-
piles which are found in seeds. As soon
as this struggle is over, the corn plant,
like all animals, dies natural death 1t
is not necessary for the frost to strike il;
it dies from simple exhaustion. The
proper time to cut and feed corn stalks is
during the four or five weeks which sue
ceed infioresence, or in other words they
should not be cut until the flower is fairly
developed, and the ear commences TO
form; and anvcor that is so planted
that the ear cannot form and mature, is
practically worthless as fodder Farm
ers may learn from these facts that corn
designed to be cut as fodder should be
planted at two or three periods during the
season; some fields quite early, others
somewhat later, and still others as late as
is safe. In this way. when the hot, dry
months of July and August are reached,
and the pastures falter, a supply of fod-
der is secured, at the proper stage oi
growth TO afford the largest amount of
nutriment

dark sky. The mists of the plain, and
the vapors of the mountain, have been
transformed into well-rounded masses of
clouds, which often conceal thunder and
lightning within their dark, gloomy cavi-
ties. But what mysterious power has
forced them all to leave the lowly valleys,
to rise higher and higher, and to lose
themselves finally in the blue ether? 1t
is the ascending current of air. For, as
the newly-kindled fire causes powerful
current that rushes up the chimney, and
thus forces the aiiioke to follow it up
ward, so the mountain-sides, warmed by
the newly-risen sun, cause the air, which
they heat, to ascend and TO carry the clouds
with il high above the Alpine SUBMITS.
Below, in the plain, this air was subjected
to the enormous pressure of the whole
mass of the atmosphere the higher il rises,
the more this pressure diminishes, and
the air, consequently, cools off as it ex-
pands. 1t is this expansion of the air of
the ascending currents, and its consequent
rapid cooling off, which makes the higher
regions so cold in comparison with the
temperature of the valley. Although,
therefore, the sun heats the soil on lofty
mountains more powerfully than in the
! plains, 50 That Alpine lakes, fed by the
melting of glaciers, never freeze in winter
this advantage is utterly lost by several
causes, and the air on high mountains is
considerably cooler than in the plains

duced by active evaporation, and the colo

the work which cost us so much blood and
treasure, to render possible another re-

that of anation of bankrupts and swind-

becomes Republicans who may be dissatls-

party to reflect whether they will not be
making a grievous error, committing an
objectionable crime against the nation as
