PlucA-A Capital Fable.

The hopeleSsneSS of any ones ac-
complishing anything without pluck
is illustrated by an old East Indian
fable. A mouse that .dWelt near the
abode of a great magician was kept in
such constant distress by It's tear of a
cat, that the magician, taking pity
or it, turned it into a cat itself. I'm
mediately it began to suffer from its
fear ofa dog, 50 the magician turned il
into dog. Then it began to suffer
from fear OF tiger, and the magician
turned it into tiger. Then it began
TO suffer from its fear of huntsmen, and
the magician, in disgust, Saiu: "Be q
mouse again AS you have only the
heart Of Il mouse, it is impossible Il
help sou by giving you The oody o. Z
nobler animal" And the poor crea,
ture again became mouse.
1t is the same with a mouse-hearted
man. He may be clothed with the
powers and placed in the position OF
brave men, but he will always act ike
a mouse; and public opinion is usually
the great magician that finally says to
such a person: $50 back to your ob.
security again. You have only the
heart OF a mouse, and it is useless to
try to make lion Of you"

A Tale II love

One quiet day in leafy June, when
bees ana birds were all in tune, two
lovers walked beneath the moon. The

Her name was Sal, and his was Jim,
and he was iat and she was slim; he

Says jim to Sal, ''By ali the snakes
that squirm among the brash and
brakes, love you better'n buckwheat
cakes"
Says she to Jim, Gas you've begun
it, and been and gone and Done it,
love You next TO new bonnet"
says jim to Sal, "3Iy heart you've
busted, but ! have always gals mis-.

Says Sal 10 Jim, Through thick

Jim leaned to Sal, Sal leaned to Jim

OVer-Reaching ia Horses.

This unpleasant noise, known also by
the term Clicking" arises from the
toe of the hind foot knocking against
the shoe Of the fore-foot. In trot,
one fore-leg and the opposite hind-leg
are first lifted from the ground and
moved forward, the other fore-leg and
the opposite hind-leg remaining fixed;
but to keep tho centre Of gravity with
in the base, and rs the stride of space
passed over by these legs is often
greater than the distance between the
fore and hind feet, it is necessary that
the fore-feet should be moved alter
nately out ofthe way of the hind-feet
to descend.
Let the smith shoe your horse be-
hind as usual,-nO clipping, rasping,
or Shortening beyond whot is usual;
but, 20 prevent clicking, cut cd the toe
or crust of the she'll of the hoof5 on the
fo,'e-feet, placing the heel-calks in their
proper places, and you will have no
clicking Cor. Country Gentlemen.

4 Few Figures About Wool.

The Springfield (Mass.l Republican
says: The holders ofwool have brought
the manufacturers to terms, and the
trade is quite active now at the adj
vanced prices. The statistics OF the
staple for 1872 show that the American
WOO clip amounted to 10000, 600 III
pounds, Or 100000 more than in 1871
and 100000 less than in 1870. The
importations rose to 8,305, ,501 pounds,
unprecedented amount, 2O,0O0,DGO in
excess of 1871 and 70,000,00J in excess
of 1870. The present stocks III Boston,
Philadelphia and New York are about
| Z, 900 in excess OF those at the same
time last year. OF the entire stock,
I54, 100000 pounds were used in domes-
tic wooIens, 19,0O0,OO in shoddy, 5000,
900 in hosiery, 13'O0O,O0O in worsted,
and 25,O00,GOO in carpets. Prices are
now tritie lower than in January,
1872, but a great Improvement on those

Effects OF the Cold Weather on tIEe
Crops.

We find in the Peoria Democrat of a
late date the following: "The intensity
of the cold the past winter through the
States Of the Northwest has had very
disastrous effects upon the farming CON-
munity in the immediate loss entailed
upon live stock. Where the SHOW lay
all winter the wheat fields have been
properly protected and the damage to
winter wheat is not SO very. great. In
Kansas the peach buds have been kill
ed and those of s0mo of the harder
trees. In Iowa the winter wheat crop
appeard to have suffered most and or
chards SO damaged that they are
not expected to furnish quarter OF the
usual yied. In Illinois the peach crop
Of Egypt promises Il very large yield.
Missouri, which has always laid claims
TO be one OF the safest Western fruit
States, report that the prospects OF a
peach yield is very discouraging, and
grape vines are thought to be much in
Jured. AT recent horticultural meet
ing III Greene county il was reproted
by well known fruit grower that he
had not found a sound peach bud in
over a thousand that he had examined,
but the apple and pear trees are said to
be in good order.

PRoPRIEI'Y OF WASHING BUTTER
In reference to the preparation Of good
table butter, DR.. Wilkers pogarth re-
marks that there is rather common
belief that the process Of washing in
jures its peculiar fine flavor, and rem
ders the butter more perishable. The
former part of the proposition Dr.
Pogarth admits; yet thinking the use
of FRI sh water indispensable for remov-
ing the milk and hardening the butter,
he recommends its application directly
in the churn, avoiding working and
kneading by hand or spatula. Butter
which keeps well is made in HoIstein,
by'repeated sailing and heavy pressure,
without the use of water; but it is too
salt to be considered fine table butter.
