Coal Ashes for Garden Walks.

In years past we have published com.

soil is exceedingly light and sand y anu o1
we made the experiment with coal asn1'

Advertising and the Panic.

Under the caption, Advantages OF
Advertising in Dull Times" the New
York EUeni11g Post says that merchant
who continued his advertisements during
the whole period of stagnation in 1857
and Notwithstanding many predictions
that it wouldn't pay, declared that his
sales were steady and his profits satisfac-
tory, while many merchants around him,
who couldn't afford to advertise, saw
their clerks stand idle behind their cOun-
tiers There could not be better testi-
monial TO the efficacy of advertising. 1t
is d weIl-authenticated fact that during
prosperous times the house that adver-
tises largely is the house that t1ourishes.
Indeed, the testimony of the greatest mer-
chants in the land, the largest ship and
steamboat owners, the most successful
men of all classes, is universally to the
same effect, that advertising is the verlta-
BILE bread upon the waters which re-
turns unto them after many days; and if
there is any time in which the advan-
tage of advertising is more particularly
felt, it is during and after the depression
consequent upon panic. Not alone
is the keeping up Of appearances
a sane qua non of successful
trade, but we must never lose sight of the
fact that, however depressed the seller
may be in the day of trouble, some one
has been invariably shrewd enough to lay
by store for a rainy day, while hundreds
have boarded up in anticipation of this
very crisis. These men want to buy-they
must buy-and their trade will naturally
flow to the house which advertises the
most, and appears to keep its head the
highest above water. Whatever a man
does il the midst of financial trial, SO
long as his ship will float at all, let him
advertise. 1t will strengthen his credit
then and forever after; it will bring to his
store or his counting-room scores Of Gus
toners, who, from the disappearance Of
their old friends from the advertising lists,
have imagined them defunct. In every
respect it will pay. This has been the ex-
perience and is the testimony of the most
successful business men in the United
States.-Ch5cag0 InterOcean.

of these faithful friends Of

trespasses of these faithful friends of

Some remedial measures ought to be
enforced against dog nuisances. Our
present system, which permits whelps to
run at large, and increase od l5dttum, is a
violation of sanitary laws, an interference
with the interests Of large portion OF
the community, and is opposed to the per-
sonal comfort of many. 1t tends, more
over to deteriorate the breed OF valuable
dogs.
The days of the Mount st. Bernard, the
turn-spit and bloodhound, are past, as
we'll as such sports as bear-baiting and
dog-fghting The wolf dog, poodle and
coach dog are among the most useless of
the dog family, and the latter are more
frequently attacked with rabies. But the
stetter, spaniel, hound and pointer are of
practical use as valuable auxiliary to
the sportsman and ought to be encourag-
ed. Like every other luxury, however,
they should be taxed Their owners
should be liable, too, for all damages to
the life, person or property Of others. AS
for the myriads of others that roam
through the country, their increase ought
to be arrested, and legislative relief miti-
gate these social evils.-1urf, Field and

The Man Who Knows Exactly What to
Do at q Fire.

There might have been a disastrous fire
on Fourth street, Saturday, but for the
heroism displayed by man named
Sweetman. He was passing along when
he saw little flames creeping around the
chimney, and he dashed into the house.
He shouted fire until the house rang,
while he seized a bureau and threw it
over, he called to one Of the family to go
and sound the alarm. The bureau was
left lying on the floor, and Sweetman
gathered up q table and ran into the yard.
He sent a small boy to sound another
alarm, and ran in and began racking a
bedstead to pieces, at the same time or
dering the women to throw everything
out doors He got the bedstead down
and ran out doors and rushed third boy
to a fire-alarm box, and then went III and
carefully brought out the WOOd-DOX and
a t1OOT-mat. The women were, mean
while, showing the parlor furniture out
doors, and as soon as SWeetman had
flung the looking glass through the back
window, and torn the baby's crib to
pieces, he ran IN and helped them, while
another messenger was sent to jerk an
alarm out Of letter box on the lamp post.
While Sweetman was thus working hero
ically, another man had climbed upon
the roof with pail Of water and put out
the fire, and three or four more came
upon the scene just in time to prevent
Sweetman from throwing the piano down
cellar to give himself room to work.

Miserable Homes.

| WHAT a mistake some good peopl
make when they maintain, within thu
home circle, the rigid rule and decorun
| which becomes irksome even during
| committee meeting; when parents anC
| children assemble at the table in solemn
silence, and finish the meal within tht
| prescribed minutes; and the late arriva
at the breakfast-table is scowled at, rep
| rimanded, and remarked upon by moth1l
| and father, aunt and uncle, until the more
| punctual Juniors come to regard him as {
| black sheep
| Oh, horrid home, where the little boys
are never seen without their school books
or the little girl without towel to hem
where ma" no more dares to buy rattle
for the baby without mentioning the ex
penditure to pa" than any body dares tC
throw open the parlOr shutters or tuck UP
the curtains or even at the table to have
more Of this dish or less of that.
The small boy who hates fat is not &C
CommOdated, as Jack Sprat's wife was, by
anybody. The tall girl who naturally
likes pudding, has her triangular wedge
and no more; while the eldest son, out
growing his liking for the dish, is re
proved for the leaving of a piece on his
plate.
Order and good housekeeping are
charming, but the good order of person
and the regular supply of rations neces
sary in a wOrkhOuse, are not suitable tOl
home. Home is no home unless, as far as
reason will allow, the taste and wishes OF
the Youngest child are consulted unless
there is freedom of word and action,
speech and love, and good will without
measure
When | was a child home was the place
where the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary were at rest.

homeless children of the house where
discipline as strict as that Of the army, is

more to be pitied than the children of any
poor man, who cluster about their par
ents' knee without any fear of Gliding

and kindly lead away from follies; and

else the farmer certainly loses the fuli

is especially necessary in the fall and
spring, when it is too often neglected
and is dou5ly necessary with calves and
yearlings. If carefully attended to the
sagacious feeder who buys young stock
would not offer more in the autumn for
Well-summered calves than he would give
the succeeding spring for the same calves
badly wintered. This class knows very
well that the flesh and vigor lost can never
again be recovered.
There is no one thing that has cost the
farmer of the West so much money as
allowing young stock to trough it,

necessary that they be dry and warm, and
this may be accomplished as certainly in
the rough structure built of crotches and
poles and slough hay, as in the most fin

they must be used early in winter and
often late in the spring -Westerp Rural.

About Dogs.

FACTS are stubborn things" and to
give some idea of the number of both
mongrel, puppy and hound, and ours of
low degree with which we are sur
rounded, let us cite the following statis
tics: Ten years ago, Massachusetts had
100000 dogs; the little State of Rhode
Island has had 6,845 recorded upon a tax
list, and an official count in Ohio, in
1863, showed 1o3,167, while a single
county (Cayuga), in New York numbered
1900 dogs for population of $1,000.
At the head of the list of evils to be
unprecedented from this indiscriminate
multiplication is that terrible disease, by
drophobia--a malady IF which an emf
nent physician says: "No specific method
of treatment has been shown to have the
slightest influence in checking or modi-
flying this disease, from which, in all
probability, no one ever recovered" 1t
is perpetuated and propagated solely by
the dog, for, although other animals are
subject to rabies, hydrophobia has its
origin In the virus of canine saliva.
Another important question in connec-
ton with dogs is their tendency to dis
courage sheep husbandry. The dog, like
his progenitor, the wolf, is the natural
enemy of sheep, and is even more des-
S1FuctlNc, iOE tHC VI t1e
wild beast is united with the cunning OF
the tanned. The damage to the
wool crop throughout the country from
canine causes is incalculabe. From the
Maine Board of Agriculture we learn
THE assumption has been unimpeacha
bly, established beyond denial by the
farmers of the State that the losses from
wild animals, disease and accidents ar
not equivalent to the losses from the dep
relations of dogs. Facts and figures
multiplied to an almost unlimited extent
testify to the truth of the assertion
The Massachusetts, Agricultural Societ,
reports that 1.-THE returns which this soci
ETY. have received unanimously ascribe a
reason why no more are kept, the inju
ries inflicted by dogs" An estimate 0
the loss OF sheep from this cause in GU
State in 1862, by the Secretary of the Stat
Agricultural Society, amounts to $4,000
Certainly some remedy is needed for an evi
which so seriously affects our agriculture
interests, as well as wooden manufactures
But other complaints arise against tn
depredations of prowling ours IN the barr
yards and gardens, where the loss c

uncomfortable. Last, but not least, is til

THE COMFORT OF TT.
BY HELEN BARRON BoSTwICK.

BY HELEN BARRON BOSTWICK.
WHAT need to sigh that bright things fly
SO early from our holding?
Some newer grace will in their place
BE constantly unfolding.
The cloud that hides the MONDAY sun
Has light and warmth above it;
Ats frightened beam will shine anon,
And that's the comfort of it.
The beauty of this life of ours
Draws Z.st from incompleteness,
As lips pressed evermoru to flowers
Taste not their fullest sweetness.
What need to weep that truth must keep.
As erst from times beginning,
Her best gifts high above our eye,
Full slow and hard of winning?
Some blessed boon her hand will give
To those who know and love it
To feet that climb and hearts that strive,
And that's the comfort of 1t.
The glory of this life of ours,
Is struggling and attaining;
And feet that only tread on flowers
viii miss its noblest gaining:
