what to Do in Case of Accidents.

Prof. Wilder of Cornell university,
gives the following short rules In case
of accident, which it viii be found use
full to preserve and remember: For
dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing; dash
water into them; remove cinders, etc,
with the round point of lead pencil
Remove water from the ear by cold wa
ter never put q hard instrument into
the ear. If choked, get upon all-fours
and cough. For slight burns, slip the
parts in cold water if the skin is de-
stroyed, cover with varnish. Smother
fire with carpets, ETC.; water will Of
ten spread burning oil and increase
danger. Before passing through smoke,
take full breath and then stoop low;
but if carbonie acid gas is expected,
walk erect. In case of poisoning, ex-
cite vomiting by tickling the throat, or
by warm water and mustard. For acid
poisons, give alkalies; Tor alkaline
poisons, use acids-white of an egg is
good in most cases in a case of opium
poisoning, give strong coffee and keep
moving. Z If in water, foat-on the back,
with the nose and mouth projecting.
For apOplexy, raise the head aud body I;
for fainting, lay the person flat.

is SO pounds.
In clover hay, one hundred pounds, J
there are 13 pounds of heterogeneous
matter, 80 of carbohydrates, and of

In wheat straw, one hundred pounds,

In oat straw, one hundred pounds,

and wheat straw 80. By multiplying
the totals by 90 the amount per ton

falling to 10, the carbohydrates to 20,
and the innutritious, indigestible fire
had increased from SO to 48 pounds,
and the fat decreased to , pounds per
hundred hence a ton of clover hay cut
in full blossom would contain so pounds
more of albuminoids, and 200 pounds
more of carbohydrates, Cthe fat would
be 20 pounds mOre,) per ton than when
cut ripe. A ton of clover hay cut ripe
would contain 24O pounds more of crude
fibre than when in full blossom.
We have eudeavored to show the
necessity of early cutting by the teach
ings of chemistry, and know also, by
our own pratice, that grain can be cut
much earlier than is usually supposed
or generally practiced ; we have cut rye
that was quite green in the straw, and
wheat that old farmers agreed would
seriously shrivel, but no perceptible
loss occurred but in this very early
cutting, one danger to both grain and
straw must not be underestimate if
cut early, aud schocked as usual, care
must be taken to cure the straw to pre-
vent heating and molding in the shock,
and also to avert the spelling and decay
which might ensue should rainy weather
follow the harvest.
Tho above table and remarks would
be incomplete without an approxima-
ton to the relative currency value Of
the four articles based on analysis.
Placing clover hay at S15 per ton,
timothy is worth $40, wheat straw 81,
and oats straw $13 per ton; figures
which sufficiently indicate the value Of
straw to induce us to make the best use

ENJOYMENT OF LFE.-It is singular
to what an extent people believe hap
piness depends on not being obliged to
work. Girls are considered well-mar-
ried if their husbands are wealthy, and
boys welI-provided for if enough can be
left for them for support, and enough
surplus left for them to play business
with. Bosh Honest, hearty, contented
labor is the only source of happiness,
as well as a guarantee of life. The
gloom of misanthropy is not only a
great destroyer of the happiness we
might have, but it tends to destroy life
itself. Idleness and luxury produce
premature decay much faster than many
trades regarded as the most exhaustive
and fatal to longevity. Labor, in gen
eral, instead of shortening the term of
life, actually increases it. It is the
lack of occupation that actually de-
stroys so many of the wealthy, who
have nothing to do but play the part
of drones, and, like them, make a
speedy exit, while the busy bee fills out
it's day of usefulness and honor.

We have already alluded to the prosperous con-

KATY's GUESS.
BY HELEN }. AxaELL.

With twelve white eggs in a dOwny meet
The old hen sits in d box in the shed
And the children, yesterday, stood and guessed
OF the hopes that hid in her speckled breast,
OF the dreams that danced through he red
crowned head
"she thinks" said the hbor-hatinz Ned,
" OF land where the weasels all asleep,
Where the hawks are blind and the dogs are dead
Where are heaps Of corn as high as tie shed,
And plenty Of earth-wOrms for her to eat"
" She remembers the country fair, !" says Bess,
" And the prize she took at Hanpton's town."
{" No, no, she don't, :" cries James the less.
''She dreams Of her little ducks, guess;
She is wondering yet why they didn't drown"
And what say you, little curley pate7
see a thought in your merry eye,
" She fink" says the bright-eyed baby Kate,
AZ she left the latch OF the garden gate,
" Verell be tickens 70 skatch for by and by"
Three cheers for the wiadom Of three years old,
Who told you the secret, little pet,
That love is better than ease or gold,
That labor for love pays u thousand fold?
400 Gnked It oorself?" Well, don't forget.

leave for home, hackman drove rapid
" to the door with; as he said, sum-
mons for Winney to attend at the court
house Immediately. She entered the
carriage and was driven hurriedly away.
Next morning came, but not Winney,
and as the hours went by we began to
feel considerable anxiety on her account
particularly after seeing by the morning
paper that the court adjourned some
hours before she left our house, and
that her case, with some others, was
put by till the next term. In the course
of the mourning one of Winney's neigh
bors came to inform us that, instead of
being taken to the court house the even
ing before, she had been taken to the
q Pen with her youngest son and kept
there until midnight when they we're
put into a carriage and driven rapidly
away.
Poor Winney We heard nothing
more of her for several weeks, when,
one morning, she suddenly presented
herself at our door, and as soon as ex-
CARNATIONS of surprise were over, re-
lated what had befallen her since she
/ last left US. It seems that her young
master took her and her boy directly to
/ Richmond, Virginia. The former he
put in close confinement, but the boy
he hired out as waiter in the hotel
where he boarded. At first the poor
woman was almost Ia depair, but she
determined never to give up while there
was the least ray of hope SO she COM
missioned her son secretly to write to
her lawyer, and Immediately got a re-
ply from him, bidding her to be of
good courage, that her case was safe,
that he would be on the spot at the
opening of the next court term to at
tend to it, and moreover, that her pre-
tended master was under heavy bonds
to see that herself and son were safely
returned at that time. Reassured by
this and other letters of the same i'm
port, she resisted the threats and i'm
portunity of her master to induce her
to give upSthe case.
The day before they left Richmond
he entered her room with a very
triumphant air and said, "WelI, Win
ney, you'll have to give it up now, fo1
your lawyer is dead, and nobody else
will undertake your case"
Dead p said Winney in amazement.
when did he die %
''Oh. two or three days ago; he was
buried day before yesterday"
cha 2" said Winney, "then he's M
mighty quick, for here is a letter writ
ten with his own hand only yesterday
morning"

''you can't read it if it is, and how came
he to know where you were ?"
No, can't read or write, thanks t,
