Can anything be more sorrowfully il.
Illustrative than this picture of court
scene in Gslena, ILL.,, where q judge
found before him young girl arrested
for disturbance in the street. Judge and
prisoner gazed at each other for mo-
ment, and the latter said: "YOn know
that your son was the cause of my ruin.
The man bowed his head, and when he
lifted it again tears were in his eyes,
and he said in broken voice, Let her
60, for my lips can never condemn
her."

Sheridan's solicitor found his clients

drawing room, apparently in frantic
state of mind. He enquired what was
the matter, but she could only answer
that her husband was villain" The

her find that out all Mt once. She rather
reluctantly said: "Why have discov-

were the very same as those he sent to

Speculation in Germany.

The influx of money into Germany,
which has been occasioned by the sue
cess of the French war, has produced its
legitimate results in awakening q spirit
of reckless speculation, which appears
to have taken possession of all classsa
The necessarics of lite have advanced
70 or so per cent. in price, and real ss-
tate has risen more than 100 per cent.
in certain speculative sections. Stock
companies Of all kinds arc being formed
to an unparalleled extent, and banks are
being organized with great rapidity.
Among other indications of this spirit,
it may &c mentioned that even that con-
sentative institution, the bank of Ber-
lin, has established special branches
with 100000 capitalrin Shanghai and
Yokohama, and taken a new Chinese
railway under its protecting agis. Mr..
Emil Seligman, lately Of Tarrytown, is
the head Of the concern. German finan-
ciers may well ask themselves whittier
they are tending; and it does not ap-
pear altogether improbable that the in
demnity demanded of France may work
quite as much harm rs good to the con-
qucrOrs.--Ffndncier.

A Coon, HAND.-It is related by an
cstimable and very pious lady, whose
excrtiOns in every work Of charity and
bencvOlencc have cndearcd her to our
community, that on her way to Sabbath
school one bright Sunday morning,
she saw several boys, one Of whom was
. newsboy, seated in a doorway playing
cards; one of them was Sunday school
scholar of the lady. She stopped and
insisted that they should accompany
her to church. After some persuasion
tho three eldest consented, but the
youngest, lad Of some six years, per-
sistently refused.
"Why won't you como, my boy!"
said the lady; I" it is very wrong of you
to refuse"
"But l don't want to 60"
"Why, what is the rcason?"
The impotence of the little fellow
waxcd desperate, and in an indignant
voice he exclaimed, his hand full Of
cards:
"Would you 60 to Sunday school with
. hand full of trumps like that?"

SMALL-POx.-An ctfcctual remedy for
SMALL ox is said TO have been found BY
. surgeon in the British army in China.
The mode of treatment is as follows
When the preceding fever is at its height,
and just before the eruption appears, the
chest is rubbed with cro,On oil and tar
tal-ic ointment. This causes the whole
eruption to appear on that part Of the
body to the relief Of the rest. 1t also
secures full and complete eruption, and
thus prevents the diesase from attacking
the internal organs. This is now the
established mode Of treatment in the
English army in China, and is regarded
- . perfect cure.

Shrinkage of Emit In DRYING.

In the letter from Charles Alden
owner of the new fruit-drying ma
chinery which was read before the
late horticultural meeting at Roches-
ter, \. Y, he states that a bushel of
apples weighs fttypounds that the
cost of cutting and preparing bush
ell for drying is about fifty cents and
that a bushel will yield nine dried
pounds, two pounds Of which are
cores and skins, which when dried
find a ready market at six cents per
pound for making jelly without sugar
or boiling-a new product. One
bushel gives seven pounds of good
dried apples, which sell regularly at
twenty cents per pound, making, af-
ter dying, $1.25 per bushel of ap-
pies, with cores and pairing.
1t will be understood that these
dried apples are greatly superior to
common dried apples, made by ex-
posure to weather, yield only three
pounds per bushel but two dried
ounces are found to be equal in sub
stance to n one quart Can, and will
make as much by adding one quart
of cold water and stewing properly
The evaporated tomatoes sell for

A CHAPTER ON BoiIs

Boils are said to be healthy" and,
Judging from the way they take hold
and hang on, and ache, and burn,
and grow, and raise Cain generally,
there is no doubt they are healthy,
and have strong constitutions They
are generally very lively and play
full at night, snd it is very funny to
see chap with a good large one
prospecting around his couch for a
place where his boil will fit in with
out hurtiLg" Boils tend to purify
the blood" strengthen the system
calm the nerves, restrain the pro
family, tranquilize the spirits, i'm
prove the temper, and beautify the
appearance. They are good things
for married men who spend their
evenings from home, ss they give
them an opportunity to rest their
night-keys and get acquainted with
their families. 1t is said that boils
gave the patient eft of sickness"
but if the sickness is not the best to
have, it must be an all-fred mean
thing. 1t is also said that a person
is better after he has them, and
there is no doubt that ono does feel
better after having got rid of them.
Many distinguished persons have
enjoyed these harbingers of good
health. Job took the hrst premium
at the county far for having more
acres under cultivation than any
other person. Shakespeare had
them, and meant boils when he said,
"One woe doth tread upon anotber's
heels. so fast they follow"

fence rail. Several cases of Brights
disease have been reported by med
ical men of reputation as direct
result of practicing Bantam's plan
for getting lean. The very best
and safest way to get rid of fat Is to
work it off. This may be aided by
eating food which contains a large
amount of nitrogen and a small
amount of carbon. Nitrogen food
is that which gives strength, power
to work, as lean meats; carbonace-
Gus foods are those which make fat,
such as cheese, potatoes, rice, corn,
peas, beans, tapioca, arrowroot,
corn-starch, milk, sugar, sirup, and
all oily and fat food. Raw fruit and
berries largely eaten are great ends
to reducing weight. But, after all,
the great reliance should be on eX-
erciso and work in the open air.

The answer to this question may
appear to be very simple, says the
Irish Farmers Gazette, but it is not
so in reality

Stafordshire, 10. .240 yards; the West
Derby, 5000 yards in North Wales
the customary acre is said to be
3, ,14O yards, and the 'erw,' or true

Seeding Rye.

The american Farmer claims that
this crop pays well, perhaps better
than wheat, where it is put under
favorable circumstances, in conse-
quence of the high price always offer
ed for the straw, 1t being very desir-
able for bedding purposes in the
horse stables. The soil, too, which
will answer for this crop, is of
lighter character than that most
suitable for wheat; and may be one
in which sand is more prevalent;
but to produce a good crop, manure
suitable for the plant must be in, or
applied to, the land-the soil suit
able being light, the potash and soda
therein are most likely to be washed

Economy in Feeding Stock.

Farmers need especially to study
economy in feeding stock this winter.
BY economy | do not mean feeding
less than is required for the proper
growth and nourishment of animals
But what l do mean is, that waste
full manner thatmany farmers pursue
OF feeding so much at time, that a
great deal is rejected by the cattle.
"a little and often" is the rule with
good husbandmen, whether the food
IS of the best quality or not. The
haycutter should be brought into re-
QUESTION, both for horses and cattle
With most farmers, steaming cattle
food is practically impossible but
in many instances boiling water
might be used to good advantage in
feeding poor hay, corn fodder, &c.
Let these be run through the cutter,
and then thoroughly saturated with
boiling water, with n little salt In
this way corn-butts and stalks, and
very coarse meadow hay, with the
addition of little new, can be used
without much waste.
Cattle should be provided with
plenty of water as we'll as food, and
to this end, as far as is possible, pure
water should be introduced into the
barn yard. If, as Las been demon
strated, stagnant water is fatal to
the animal constitution, farmers
should not overlook a subject so inn
portant. At any rate, cattle should
have access to water twice or three
times a day. Where cattle are wat
cred but once day, as is often the
case, in very cold weather, they are
apt to gorge themselves, and hence
the chill they must experience. Cat
tie can endure more cold than the
human species, but if suitable pre-
cautions were taken many trouble
some diseases might be avoided.
During very cold weather, if sutfi
cient hot water could be added to
remove the chill, it would be good
economy, as where animal heat is
increasingly wasted, the supply must
be made up by more food, or the
animal suffers detoriation, loss Of
flesh, or disease in some serious
form-Bost0n CHltiUatOr.
