Music Teaching.

Everybody is fond of good music, and
we believe everybody should cultivate
this refined and sweetest of talents. In
this connection we are pleased to call
the attention of all our readers to the
advertisement of Miss MAE GROUSE,
who has just completed a musical course
at the Oxford Female College, and will
open a School in Eaton, for the purpose
of giving instructions in Bass, Piano and
Vocal music. The following card, from
her teacher at Oxford, will certainly be
sufficient recommendation for all who
wish her services:
TO WHOM IT MAY cx NCERN.
Miss Mae Grouse has been with me at
the Female College, Oxford, Ohio, for
one year, and received Instructions in
the theory and practice of Music. She
has made such rapid Improvement, has
applied herself so diligently to her work,
and improved her rare talents so care
fully, that 1 do cheerfully recommend
her to all who may wish to engage her
services as teacher or organist.

Fourth Of July.

Tomorrow, friday the firing of
cannon, the swelling strains of mar
tial music and the joyful waving of
countless banners will announce
throughout tho land another return
ing anniversary of our National Sab
bath. This day, ninety-scven years
ago, was born the American Repub-
lie, embracing thirteen infant Colo
MES, tlinly settled and poorly deyel-
oped, their habitations, for the most
part, skirting tho s~ea-coast. It dates
back almost five score years! What
u changed What a retrospect!
Under the nurturing care of a kind
Providence, aud by living up to the
immortal principles of human rights,
that day, for the first time, announced
to the world, the thirteen feeble strip
lings have expanded into q gigantic
Confcdcracy OF States, stretching from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. The
Young and impoverished Republic
has grown into the most powerful
aud wealthy of empires. Her ex-
changes penetrate to the uttermost
parts of the earth, and The canyas of
her shipping may be literally said to
whiten every ga. Already i'll art,
science, literature, Invention and com-
merce, she takes her place in the first
rank of nations. yielding to mons the
palm of superiority. History and
tradition viii both be appealed TO in
vain to furnish any thing like a paral-
lei to the miracle of this country's
growth aud Development. Never has
the world before known such an EN-
pirc-ncver before such a govern
ment and such prosperity among a
people. Comparatively speaking,
free as air, electors of their own pub.
lie officers and representatives, with
all their rights reserved, save what
have been delegated for the public
good, our people present a spectacle
mt once the wonder and admiration
of C~hristendom. If ever a people had
occasion to thank Providence for
what it has done for them, it is ours,
and this day should in truth be a
great National Thanksgiving day, on
which grateful prayers should ascend
to Heaven for what we have, and pa.
triotic pledges be renewed of our de-
termination to guard and preserve
the institutions that have conferred
on us such rare felicity and prosperity.
This day should indeed be given to
the country; to prayers for its preser-
walton from Credit Mobilier and Sal
ary grabbers thoughts as to how an
increasing love of it can be cultivated
in the popular mind-especially now,
when corruption and faction are stri--
wing TO undermine its government in
the affection of the people hs apre-
liminary to the establishing of a Mil
itary Despotism. On this day faith
ers should teach their children the
story of their country's birth and life;
should tell them about the flag-what
it means and stands for ; should teach
them to lisp the names of our revolu-
tionary heroes recount to them their
sacrifices and sufferings to attain what
we now enjoy. There is need of all
this now. II we would preserve our
institutions we must love them and
guard them. eternal vigilance" has
been fifty termed athe price of liber-
ty."

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
A variea Diet for Fowls.

There are no animals more omniver-
Gus than fowls; fish, flesh, herbs, and
grains being devoured by them with
equal relish. We say equal, for though
they commonly pounce upon meat with
greater avidity than upon grain, this
is generally because it affords q rarity,
and flock kept for while almost en-
tirely on animal food will show the
same greed for few handfuls of corn.
Now, those animals accustomed to
use a varied diet sbouldnot be confn-
ed to an UNMARRIED one. There are, in
deed, some species which are naturally
limited to one or lew kinds of food.
Thus, cattle do well enough, although
kept month after month on grass alone,
and a tiger will thrive with nothing
bat lean meat upon his bill of fare.
But with other animals, as with the
human race for instance. the case is
different, for no person can maintain
the highest efficiency when confined to
one article of food. No matter how
fond we may be of particular dish,
we lose relish for il when allowed moth
ing else for a number of consecutive
meals, and the intent craving for varie-
ty indicates as its source something
more than mere appetite. 1t gives
evidence cf real necessities of the sys-
tenn which are constantly varying with
the changing circumstances of weather,
employment, and other conditions.
The fondness for variety shown by
fouls is as significant of real needs as
we have fonnd it to be in ourselves.
In puryeying for them, a iudicious va
riety, selected from the three general
divisions-fresh vegetables, grain and
animal foods at all seasons absolute
ly necessary for young and old, in or
der to make them perfectly thrifty.
True. they will not starve on hard corn
and water, neither viii they pay a pro-
fit so kept.-The Poultry World.

Song Of the Seasons.

Gaunt Winter tlinging flakes Of snow.
Deep burdening field and wood and hill.
Dim days, dark nights. slow trailing TORS
Aud bleakened air severe and chill
And swift the seasons circing RIM
And still they change till all is done.
Young spring, with promise in her eyes.
And fragrant breath from dewy mouth.
And magic touches for the hooks
Ofbuddlng bowers when Wind is south.
And swift the seasons Circling run
And so they change til Eli is done.
Then summer stands erect and tan.
With early sunrise Tor the lawn.
Thick foliagcd woods and gittering seas
And loud bird chirpings in the dawn.
And swift the seasons circhng run.
And so they change till all is done.
Brown autumn, quiet with ripe fruits.
And haggards stacked with harvest gold
And fiery fiushes for the leaves,
And silent cloud-skies soft outrolled.
And so the seasons cifcllng run
And still they change till ali is done.
Swift speeds our life from less to more.
The child, the man, the work the rest,
The SOLDERING mind, the ripening soul.
Til yonder all is bright aud blest.
For so the seasons circling lun-
And swift they change till all is done.
Yes, yonder-lf, indeed, the orb
OF life revolyes 'roGnd central light.
For ever true to central force.
And steadiast, come the balm or blight.
And so indeed the seasons nun

Chcan stump PuIler.

How to construct n cheap stump
puller, and what can be done with il,
is thus told by a correspondent of the
Ohio Farmer:
Have a chain made of the best
charcoal iron, at least one inch and a
fourth in diameter and eight feet long,
with ring two inches and half in
diameter; one of these sides must be
formed. Attach one ring TO band OF
iron two and half inches broad, one
inch thick and one foot in diameter,
with small offset ior the ring to lodge
in. The band should be beveled on
the inside edge, 10 make il slip on the
pole readily, and prevent cutting it,.
Cut a nice straight hickory, white oak
or locust lever, one foot in diameter at
the butt, and twenty-five feet long.
Take OIL the Jumps and bark smoothly,
put on the band, let 1t come within two
feet Of the large end, at which point
ut in two small pins ofiron, TO prevent
going any further. Within four
inches of the small end, put on com
mon OK yoke cleyis, with ring in il
to pull by. Hitch on two yoke Of oxen.
Drive on the right Of the stump until
the band passes the stump few inch.

es. Pass the chain round the stump,
on the left side, and draw K tight,
with no twist in the chain. A little
above the lever drive in common
wedge, and put the ring on the wedge.
Then gee round in circle, until the
stump is twisted out
"This machine will take ont about
half the dead stumps, in a field of long
standing, without cutting the brace
roots. Common sized green stumps
can be taken out also by cutting the
brace roots first, and digging little.
After everything is ready, with the
team and two hands / can take up one
hundred stumps per day, as it is no
draft at all on the cattle, except the
labor OF pulling the lever from stump
to stump

How 10 Crow Carrots.

Plow early in spring, four inches
deep. Harrow well and roll or bush
down; let the ground lie till after the
middle of May; pillow again as deep as
your team is able to draw the pillow.
Harrow and roll as before. Have the
ground in perfect order, no Jumps and
as few stones as possible. About the
Goth of May lay out your field in drills
two and one-half feet apart, straight
and uniform. Use a small, one-horse
plow; four inches is deep enough.
Spread in the drill small quantity of
well-rotted manure, or other fertilizer !;
close your drill with coverer, or pillow
leaving a mound with level surface
ready for the seed sower. Regulate
the seed-sower so as to drop the seed
from one-half to one inch apart one
half h. of seed is enough for an acre.
Before starting the sowing, spread a
little guano or phosphate on the top of
the drill, very light in the centre where
the sewing will come, and the seed will
find it early. With a careful hand
proceed to the sowing, observing at
each end if the drill drops the seed
When up, so that the rows can be seen
say one-half of an inch high-go into
the field with a steady horse that viii
go slow, attached to a horseshoe or
cultivator run light and very close
Ii the machine don't work well, alter it
in some way that it will. Bend a point
OF an old scythe or stout hoop-iron,
and put it in place of the share, so that
you can go close to the row and not
cover up the small plants. Before the
roots get too much started, go
through them again; as they get larger,
cultivate deeper.
/ never hoe, thin or weed. When the
plants are a fair size-say one inch
through-give them a deep blowing
with small subsoil pillow, and with
two horses. Let them remain till
late in the ground. Clip off the tops
with sharp hoe Run subsoil pillow
directly under the carrots and throw
them out with a single furrow.
Pit or protect them on the field. Gov
er them at first with the tops. After
few days remove the tops and secure
them well with earth never use straw
or litter. They always keep good in
this way and never rot.
For number OF years have had
no difficulty in raising an abundance
of carrots in this way. 1t requires a
li.tle patience and perseverance. The
labor is light and cheap. On ordinary
lands carrots want but little manure.
l think the top-dressing before sowing
almost necessary to insure a crop. My
sbest crops have been on potato ground,
and where carrots have been grown
several years in succession. My yield
is generally about Is tons per acre.
They Will always pay better than pota-
toes, and can be raised and handled
with less expense; and if our horses
could speak, we should receive more
thanks for raising them. Use long
orange seed.-Rur0L NeaO Yorker.
