she likes tobacco or not. There is a young

THINGS TO FoRGET.-How much wiser we
would be if we could remember all things
worth remembering that occur day by day
around us and how much better we should be
if we could forget all that is worth forgetting.
1t is almost fri ghtful, and altogether humilia-
ting, to think how much there is in the COM
mon ougoing of domestic and social life which
deserves nothing but to be instantly and forev-
or forgotten Yet it is amazing how large a
a class there is who have no other business but
to repeat these things. This is the vocation of
gossip ps-an order of society that perpetrates
more mischief than all the combined plaques
of Egypt put together Blessed is that man or
woman who can let drop all the burs and this
ties, instead of picking them up and fastening
on to the passenger. Would we let the vexing
and malicious sayings die, how fast the lacera-
ted and scandal ridden world would get healed
and tranquilizcd. Forget the gossippings and
chickering's, the backbitings and mean inuen-
does, and .viaer.5er nv the little gleam of
sunshine and poetry that can illuminate the
humblest life, if we only drive away and nd for r

DO Your Best.

When I was little boy, said gentleman
one evening, paid visit to my grandfather,
a venerable old man, whose black velvet cap
and tassel, blue breeches and huge silver knee
buckets filled me with great awe. When
went to bid him good night he drew me be-
tween his knees and placing his hand on my
head, said: "My grandchild, have one thing
to say to you, will you remember it?" stared
into his face and nodded; for 1 was afraid to
promise aloud. "Well," said he, "whatever
you do, do the best you can."
This in fact was my grandfather's legacy to
me; and it has proved better than gold, nev,
er forgot his words; and believe have tried
to act upon them. After reaching home, my
uncle gave Marcus and me some wedding to do
in the garden. 1t was Wednesday afternoon ;
and we had laid our plans for something else.
Marcus fretted, and i'll humored at the disap-
pointment, did not more than half do his work.
And began pretty much like him, until grand
fathers advice came into my mind and / de-
termiDed to follow it. In word, [ did my
best. And, when my uncle came out, I shall
never forget his look of appreciation as his
eve glanced over my beds, or the fourpence he
slipped into my hands afterwards as he said
nv work. was we'll DONE All! 1 was a glad
and thankful boy; while poor Marcus was left
to drudge over his beds all the afternoon.
"At..ffteen was sent to the academy, where
I had partly to earn my own way through the
course. The lessons came hard at first, tor
was not fond of study my grandfather's advice
was my motto, and tried te do my best. AS
consequence of this, though l was small of my
age, and not very strong, my mother had three
offers for me before the year was out and one
from the best merchant of the village, "a place
in whose store was considered very desirable.
When I Joined the church I tried to do the
Lords work as we'll as did my own; and Of
ten when I have been tempted to leave the
Sabbath School, or let hindrance keep me
from the prayer-meeting, or get discouraged
in any good thing, my grandfathers last words :
DO the best you cam have given me fresh
courage, and I would again try"
Here then, was the key to this mans charac-
ter. He is considered one of the best business
men, one of the best citizens, one of the best
officers in the church, one Of the best friends
of the poor, one of the best neighbors, fathers,
husbands, friends; in word, he is universally
beloved and respected. And what is the secret
of it all?" He always tried to do the best ne
could. Let every boy and girl take this for
their motto. Acted upon, it will do wonders
for you 1t will bring out powers and capabi!l-
tiles which will surprise and delight yourself
and friends. 'Do the best you can" or as
the Bible has it, "Whatsoever thy hand fndeth
to do, do it with thy might" or, in other
words, Whatsoever you do, do it heartily as to
the Lord"

TESTING FLoUR.-The following rules are
given for testing the quality of flour: l; Look
at its color; if it is white with slightly vel
lowish or straw-colored tint, it is good sign
if it is very white, with blush cast or with
black specks in it, the flour is not good: 2. Ex-
anime its adhesiveness-wet and knead little
of it between the fingers; if it works dry and
elastic, it is good if it works soft and sticky,
it is poor. Flour made from spring wheat is
likely to be sticky. 3. Throw little lump Of
dry -four against dry, smooth, perpendicular
surface, if it adheres in lump, the flour has
life in it; if it falls like powder, it is bad. 4
Squeeze some of the -four in your hand; if it
retains the shape given by the pressure, that
too, is good sign. Flour that will stand all
these tests, it is safe to buy.

Two CAUSES AND One EFFEcT.-When
Doctor Dodge, an eccentric physician, was lee.
turing in the States on the evils of tea and
coffee, he happened to meet at the breakfast
table witty son of Erin of the better class.
Conversation turned upon the Doctors favorite
subject, and he addressed our friends as fol-
lows:
"Well," said the doctor, eff I convince you
that they are injurious to your health, will you
abstain from their use?"
"Sure will sir"
GLOW often do you use tea and coffee ?''

"Well," said the doctor, edo you ever expe-
rience slight dizziness of the brain on going
to bed?"

"Well," said the doctor, with an air of con-
fidence and assurance, "that is this tea and cof-
fee."
sIt is, indeed2 Faith, and always thought
it was the whiskey 1 drank"
The company roared with laughter, and the
doctor quietly retired.

DOGS VS.. SHEEp.-The annual destruction
of sheep by dogs is immense Official reports
show in Ohio an annual loss of S9,OO0,OOO in
sheep killed by dogs, and 81 100000 in other
INJURIES loss equivalent to 100000 pounds
of wool. In two years, from 1868 to 1870, Illi-
nois sank from the sixth to the ninth in rank
among the States, in the number and value of
her sheep; and this great falling off is attribu-
ted to proPortionate increase in the number
of dogs, and the lack of proper legislation to
land, the returns from five counties report over
LOO sheep killed in one year. In Missouri
the number of dogs exceed the number of
sheep; and if the value of the food consumed
by dogs were fed to sheep, they would proper
ly clothe every person in the State, and render
us independent of foreign wool.-Rural World.

Cow WITHHOLDING HER MILK.-A COW
will sometimes withhold her milk when her
calf is taken away, but usually only for short
time. The remedy in such cases is gentle
treatment, and persistent effort to draw the
milk and bathing the udder with cold water.
The milking should be attempted at short in
tervals-at least three or four times day.
If the COW is treated kindly, and continued
effort be made to draw the milk from time to
time, she usually yields the point, and few
DAYS will forget her calf and give down her
milk regularly. If harsh treatment is resorted
to, and the milking be neglected, Inflammation
of the udder and garget may set in, causing
serious trouble and perhaps loss of milk en-
tirely, if not other and permanent injury to
the cow. 1t is not advisable to puncture the
teat under such circumstances least, not
until continued and thorough efforts have been
made to draw the milk by hand, in the usual
way. -,
account of coagulated milk, or from some inn
perfection of the parts, properly formed milk
tube may sometimes be used with advantage.
These tubes are constructed of silver, with a
smooth, round point pierced with holes,
through which the milk may pass into the
tube, and so arranged as not to injure the milk
duct when introducing or Withdrawing from
the teat. When pointed wires, straws, or
goose quills are used for the purpose, they are
liable to wound the parts and get up an in
flammation in the teat, which may extend to
the udder and spoil the COW for milk. at least
for the season if not permanently. This would
be very likely to be the case if the weather be
warm and the COW secrete large quantity OF
milk.
We have seen wires, straws and quills used
in numerous instances, and in nearly all,
bad results followed. In some cases the in
flammation was so rapid as to make the COW in
few days almost unmanageable, and the final
result was broken udder and consequent loss
of the cow.-Rural Ncw Yorder.

WHY DEMOCRATS SHOULD SUPPORT MIR.
GREELEY.-The few Southern public men who
are resisting the Greeley movement seem to
have little faith in the New York Democratic
instinct, which on the instant, forgot or forgave,
all Greeley's past, and acted only for the coun-
try's present and future good. We, who have
lived with Greeley for forty years, feel and
know we can trust him, and have faith in his
word, and the pledges OF his Cincinnati letter.
We feel and know we can through him secure
the State against Grant by an immense majori-
ty-5O, 900, we think; and we thus see him an
instrument of Providence to rescue the coun-
try. Hence the unanimity of New York, and
its earnestuess, to be followed we hope, by 9TH
er States, especially by the Southern States,
with which, almost always, during the exis-
tence of our Rebublic, the Democracy here
have been in sympathy. Then, again, we reason
thus, and we think all Southern men should
reason thus:
"Greeley, if elected by the Democracy and
Liberal Republicans, will bring with him from
gress. The Senate now stands II Democrats
or 9 Liberal Republicans. There are Y Sen
ators of the United States, 81 is a majority.
The additional II we need can only come to
us from victories, as in New York, Pennsylva-
MIA, and elsewhere, or from the great turn the
carpet-bag element in the Senate would take
on Greeleys election. The Senate will be
against us for 10 or Is years, unless through
some such movement as this. When Congress
is ours we have control of the Government.
We can pacify and purify the country, main
tain what is left in the Constitution. A Dem
ocratic straight-out ticket would render all this
doubtful, we think, impossible. Hence, we in
New York, by instinct, as in Tennessee, ratified
the Cincinnati Greeley movement. The rest
of the country has moved less rapidly, but
quite as surely."-M Y. Express, (Dcm.)
