A Warming to Able BarriSterS.

Whether we regard the chance OF
getting their fees, or their political
prospects, the outlook as presented to
Thomas McGehan's lawyers is not the
most pleasant one. For instance, Mr..
Sam Craighead, of Dayton, defended
the cowM dly assassin of Myers with
such signal ability that - Montgomery
county jury ronounced the murderer
an innocent man. Mr.. Craighead is
now or was until he heard last week
from Preble county, anxious to repre-
sent the Fourth district in Congress
Preble county in thunder tones, inform
ed Mr.. Craighead that no man who had
defended the arch assassin could carry
the Republican vote of Republican
Preble, and needing the monition, Mr..
Craighead withdrew from the canvass.
Again Governor McBurney was a can
didate before the Third district Con
gressional Convention, and, while his
ability was recognized, he was badly
beaten, and the proclaimed reason for
his defeat was the professional services
had had given the murderer OF Myers.

A celebrated Irish farmer once gave

must be careful not to lose the calf.

the cream-the covering of tle h so
much priced by all our retail butchers.
Where do all the scraggy, bad d-heshed
beasts come from that we see daily in
our fat market, and what is the cause
of their scragginess? 1t is because they
have been stintcd and starved at some
portion of their growth. If the calf.
flesh is once lost, it can never be re-
gained. A great deal of tallow may be
got internally 10y high feeding, but the
animal can never again be made one

Would this advice could reach every
girl in the land. The great curse of
woman is her dependence and help
lessness. And these are caused mainly
by her having no trade or profession by
which she may earn livelihood and be
independent. And not only girls need
this, advice, but their mothers also.
Mothers should impress upon the minds
OF their daughters, as much as upon the
minds of their sons, that it is their duty
to be selt-supporting members of the
Commonwealth. But this is far from
being the prevalent opinion to-day.
The common idea is that it is not wo.
mans place to do any kind of work ex-
cept unremunerative household drudg-
cry. Girls are taught that marriage is
the end and aim of their existence, and
that it is the duty of their husbands to
support them.
This might all be very well-aithough
1t is founded upon an unsound principle
If husbands did really support their
wives but they do not in the great ma
jority of cases. And the consequence is
that many, very many, with high aspira-
tons and noble longings-who, If they
were untettered from the thraldom of
the kitchen, would rise high in the
ranks of their profession or avocation
are tied down to an unremunerative
life OF toll and drudgery. We do not
say that woman should not cook or do
housework, but we do say they should
be allowed the same latitude of choice
OF the diversified labor of our country
that men have. If husband really
loves and cherishes his wife as he should,
would he not rather behold her in her
chosen profession or avocation receiv-
ing remunerative employment than con,
lined to the kitchen all her days ?-Neao

Sailing Hay.

The Nc,o Eaqiad Farmer says of
sailing hay:
We do not commend it. or at least
only in moderate quantity III extreme
cases. When our own food is too highly
salted, we reject 1t, or, II very hungry,
eat it with wry faces and disgust. All
stock probably require Il certain amount
of salt, and if left to take it as they
please, it would not be much in amount,
and in quite small quantities at any one
time. If hay is salted as many farmers
apply it, the stock consuming the hay
as they would if they could exercise
their own choice about it. This course
compels cattle to eat what they dislike
through several months of the year,
and it seems to us must tend to prevent
a proper thrift, and also to induce dis
ease in one form or another. Indeed,
it is stated that whole herds are at
tackled with the disease called scours,
in consequence of feeding continually
upon matter too highly salted. The
haying season, with most farmers, is a
driving one, SO that the very expedient
that promises to lessen the labor and
get the crop into the barn tempts us
strongly to adopt it. Under this idea
there is little doubt but hundreds of
tons of hay are got in not sufficiently
cured. "A little salt will save it" it is
said; good denl is applied to it, the
cattle are forced to live upon it, and
pernicious consequences are, sometimes
at least, the result. 1t is cheaper and
in every way better to cure the hay
thoroughly in the first place. 1t saves
the cost of the salt, secures better fod-
der, and does not incur the risk of
begetting sickness and disease in the
stock which is to be fed with it. Better
pay the money for hay caps than for
salt for the hay.

TO bed at half past eight or nine clock,
and don't be in a hurry about getting
up in the morning. On going to bed
and on getting up in the morning,
drink as much cold water as you can
swallow. Soon you will learn to drink
two tumblers; and some may learn to
drink still more. Drink all your stom-
ach will hold. Spend good deal of
your time in the open air without hard
exercise, but exposed to the sun. If
practicable, ride in a carria some
hours every day. Remain out enough
to give you good appetite, but don't
work hard enough to produce excessive
peIspiration. Eat a gooi deal of oat
meal porridge, cracked wheat, Graham
mush, baked sweet apples, roasted and
boiled beef; though the vegetable part
is more tattening than the animal part
Lie down an hour in the middle of the

Cultivate jolly people. "Laugh and
grow fat rests upon a sound physiolog-

Keep your skin clean, sleep in room
where the sun shines, keep everything

tivate the Jolly spirit, and III six months
you will be us plump as you could wish.

You may ascertain if it is sufficiently
done by the readiness with which the

epicures think ham ruined if either
skinned or cut until perfectly cold,
esteeming it so desirable to retain all

way of serving up ham is to take off
the skin after being thoroughly boiled,
to CRATE bread crumbs thickly over the

Cherry Trees.

These should never be highly ma.
nured. Singular as it may seem, better
results have been obtained 10y growing
cherry trees in grass than by cultivat-
ing them as high pears. Experienced
fruit, growers in Delaware, who once
began system of liberal manuring and
treatment of cherry trees, found, after
an experience of few years, that the
bark would burst, gum would ooze out.
and many portions of the tree show an
unhealthy condition. The growers i'm
mediately discontinued high feeding,
and seeded the land down to grass.
The trees recovered their health, and
have borne bountiiully ever since the
system of grass culture began. 1t is
the only fruit tree of all varieties which
we can safely recommend to be treated
in this way. A Delaware friend says
his row of cherry trees, growing in
grass along the fence, are the picture Of
health and luxuriance; while in pro
vious years, with orchard culture, he
could never make them successful
