WORK AND THINK.

Think what power there lies within you,
For what triumphs ys are formed.
IF, in aid of bone and slnew,
Hearts by emulation warmed,
Mighty thoughts ye WOO and cherish,
What shall hold your spirits down!
What shall make your high hopes perish
Why should ye mind fortunes frovn?
Do you wish for profit, pleasure
Thirst at leArning's fOunt TO drink ?
Crave ye honor, fame or treasure
Yc the germs have-work and think
Think On, be machines no longer
Thought supplies the mind with food.
Think twill make you fresh and stronger
Link you to the great and good.
Thought exalts and lightenS labor
Thought fOrbids ths soul to sink
Solf-respect, and love for neighbor,
Mark the men who work and think.
Freedom fights and wins her charter
With the sword of thought-the pen,
Tyranny can find no quarter
In the ranks of thinking men,
Think for thoughts a wand OF power
Power to make oppression shrink
Grasp ye, then, the precious dover
Poise it WELD 1t work and think.
Hold your heads up, .oiling brothers;
'Mongst US be it ne'er forgot
Labor tor ourselves and others,
Is for man noble lot:
Nobler far, and boiler, higher,
Than vain luxury can claim,

And true greatness be our aim.
Power to compass this is given
Power, that forms the strongest link
'Twixt the upright man and heaven;
Hcblest poWer-the power to think.

JOURNEY OF EMPRESS CATHERINE II.
or RUSSIA TO THE CRMEA-Catherne
travelled in gilt coach, followed by four
teen more coaches and one hundred and
twenty-fou: sleighs, containing her suite
and household. Each carriage being
drawn by eight Eorses, each sleigh by
four, six hundred horses were needed at
every relay.
To the unsophisticated country people
who looked on, her journey seemed that
of goddess condescending to tread the
earth. The courtiers Tho surrounded her
seemed to be ministering genii the crown
dignitaries, in their rich uniforms and
embroidered coats, so many kings and
princes even the lackeys were greeted
with respectful bows, and supposep to be
generals or senator's

Gregory had done everything within
his power TO make Catherinc's progress
through the new country journey

Forests were ignited to illuminate the
surrounding country in the hours Of dark
ness. Right and left of the road immense
bonfres of spruce wood and huge tar
barrels made the night as light as day.

chickens, turkeys, and geese, were

the hunger of the imperial household
Picturesque groves and gardens had been
planted In the preceding autumn.
The wretched huts and crumb!ing
country houses that Glanced to Law along
the imperial route were unmercifully
pulled down, and villas with Italian
porticoes, and Swiss chalets with carved
roofs and verandas, ereca instead. Here
and there q triumphal arch, with cnpids
holding scrolls of poetry in their chubby
hands, spanned the road. Herds of pure
white sheep and stately horses grazed by
the w8yside, tended by shepherds and
shepherdesses fancifuly attired, who
played upon their pipes and waived their
dainty hooks as Catherine passed. These
same hocks and shepherds, having to do
duty mole than once, were transported
from pasture to pasture while the empress

next morning.
Wherever an uninhabited tract of land
CHANGED to lie on the route, tastefuly
painted decorations representing temples,
villas, AID hamlets were stretched be-
tween distant hillocks, and fastened to
poles or trees on both sides of the roads.
When the empress stopped for the night,
the decorations, rolled up in haste and
transported farther, like the focks and
the shepherds, did duty next day on the
banks OF river or the side of mountain.
Catherine admired and plaised 4" What
lovely scenery! And this was but desert
a short time ago!" Such smooth little
deceits were in the taste of the day; the
royal one deceived perhaps knew all
about it. It heightened the fame Of Pot

The rent roll Of the Tichborne estate
is upward of sixteen thousand pounds
year. Assuming that the trial has cost
two hundred thousand pounds, this
could be easily raised at four per cent. on
the property, and the interest payable
thereupon would represent half the in
come. The present Baronet being
minor, who will not be of age for many
years, would probably only be allowed
thousand year for educational and other
expenses, so that by the time he attains
his majority the property will have fully
recovered the costs caused by !" the claim

How to Take Care of a Carriage.

A prominent carriage manufacturer
of Nottingham, England, Mr.. Starey,
publishes a series of Useful hints for
the Proper Preservation of a Carriage
from which we quote the following:
A carriage should be kept in an airy,
dry coach house, with a moderate
amount of light, otherwise the colors
will be destroyed.
There should be no communication
between the stables and coach house.
The manure heap, or pit, should also be
kept as far away as possible. Ammonia
cracks varnsh and fades the colors both
of painting and lining.
A carriage should never, under any
circumstances, be put away dirty.
In washing carriage, keep out OF
the sun, and have the lever end of the
"setts'' covered with leather. Use
plenty Of water, which apply (where
practicable) with hose or syringe,
taking great care that the water is not
driven into the body to the injury of
the lin ny. When forced water is not
attainable, use for the body large, soft
sponge. This, when saturated, squeeze
over the panels, and by the flow down
of the water the dirt will soften and
harmlessly run off, then finish with a
soft channels leather and old silk hand
kerchief The same remarks apply to
the underworks and wheels, except
that when the mud is we'll soaked,
soft mop, free fir, m any hard substance
in the head, may be used. Never use
a "spoke brush,' which, in conjunc-
ton with the grit from the road, acts
like sand paper on the varnish, scratch
ing it, and, Of course, etfectually re-
moving all gloss. Never allow water to
dry itself on the carriage, as it invari-
ably leaves stains.
Be careful to grease the bearings of
the fore carriage so as to allow it to
turn freely. If it turns with difficulty,
the shafts or pole will probably strain
or break.
Examine a carriage occasionally, and
whenever bolt or slip appears to be
getting loose, tighten it up with
wrench, and always have little repairs
done at once.
Never draw out or back a carriage in
to coach house with the horses at,
tached, as more accidents occur from
this than any other cause.
Headed carriages should never stand
with the head down, and aprons OF ev-
cry kind should be frequently unfold
ed, or they will soon spoil.

IT is said that one of the most power.
full remedies for bots in horses is strong
decoction of sage tea, made very sweet.
IT has been thoroughly tested and
found that one load of manure kept from
the open air under cover is worth two
loads that have been exposed to rain
and sun.
FIFTY thousand tons of American ba-
con and pork were imported into Eng
land in 1871, and seventeen thousand
tons in the first three months of 1872,
and the last hog has not been killed
yet.
A SMALL or moderate.sized tree at the
transplanting will usually be large
bearing tree sooner than large tree set
out at the same time, and which is ne
cessarily checked in growth by removal.
HERE is a new way of treating the
broken legs of horses, which ought to
be generally known After the leg is
set, cover it thickly with plaster. When
the plaster hardens it will keep the
limb as immovable as if made of iron.
Thus treated, broken leg, it is assert
ed, will knit together in brief time and
soon become as good as ever.
The Rural Messenger recommends the
following treatment for the cabbage fly:
Take the water in which salt fish have
been soaked over night, and with brush
or broom sprinkle plentifully over the
plants. This Is all. One liberal appli-

Marriages..

Marriage is to woman at once the
happiest and the saddest event of her
life; and it is the promise of future
bliss raised on the death of all present
enjoyment. She quits her home, her
parents, her companions, her occupa
tons, her amusements-everyt thing on
which she has hitherto depended for
comfort, ioratfection, for pleasure. The
parents, Ivy whose advice she has been
guided; the sister, to whom she dared
to impart every embryo thought and
feeling; the brother who has PLAYED
with her, by turns the counselor and
the counseled; and the younger chill.
dren, to whom she has hitherto been
the mother and the playmate-all are
to be iorsaken at one fell stroke; every
former tie is loosened, the spring of
every hope and action is to be changed;
and yet she flies with Joy to the un,
trodden path before her. Buoyed up
by the confidence of requited love, she
bids fond and grateful adieu to the life
that is past, and turns with excited
hope and joyous anticipations to the
happiness to come. Then woe to the
man who can blight such fair hopes
who can treacherously lure such heart
from its peaceful enjoyment and the
watchtul protection at home--who can,
coward like, break the illusions that
have won her, and destroy the conf
dence which love had inspired. And,
more than all, tenfold misery should be
portion OF him who gains the affections
OF trusting woman 10y appearing to be
better than he is, and suffers future
time to develop his bad qualities after
her fate is irrevocably linke,t with his.

Tanning Animals.

Severity is neither required nor prac-
tlced by successful tanners of wild ami.
mails. There is no course of treatment
that so quickly and efiectualy subdues
the teroclty OF savage beasts or birds as
repetitions of kindness. Even lions.
tigers, the grizzly bear of California, and
the polar bear may be taught acts of
obedience by simply gaining their con.
fidence. As soon as they are satisfied
that no harm is intended, of which all
carnivorous animals seem to entertain
an instructive apprehension at the hand
OF man, they become docile compare
lively, as far as compatible under de-
privation of liberty, and regard him as
friend.
Fear should not be excited. A single
blow is never forgotten, since even after
they stand on the defensive; nor can
their distrust be overcome with some
of them by years of tender inter.
course. In the process of breaking
horses and oxen. which simply means
teaching them what is expected of them,
neither whips nor chains are necessary.
Repettons of kind acts, with soft
words, never fail of being understood
by them.

The Chinese Capital.

DR.. L. Martin, of the Paris Geograph-
ical Society, has dispelled some popular
fallacics about the capital Of China. The
population of Pekin, he says, has never
been equal to what it was represented
by European authors, and it has, more
over, deol eased since the enthroning
of the present dynasty. 1t fluctuates
between 100000 and 100000 souls. 1t
is impossible to affix any actual number
to the population, for no census has
ever been taken. The city has no
drainage whatever, and is very MAS
matte and unhealthy. Infants die by
thousands, and every morning carts go
around to take away the little collins.

How to Treat Fainting People.

There are some observations in the
lancet of last week which might be
studied with advantage by police con-
stables. referring to a case which
lately occurred in New York, in which
death speedily followed the extraction
oi teeth after an Intellectual endeavor to
administer nitrous oxide gas, the Lancet
maintains that had the patient, who
had tainted from terror, been LAID flat
on the floor instead of being kept in an
upright position, she would probably
have recovered IN Il few minutes; and
it then points out the danger of treating
syncope by the erect posture, instancing
the case OF poor woman who lately

having been placed by policeman in a
sitting posture, was only saved fro II
death by the accident OF doctor hap.
