Catching on Behind.

"CATCH1NG on behind" is the CROWN
enjoyment, now for boys. Johnny comes
home at night surfeited with fun,
he has had a good time, but he is tired.
His nose is split open at the end, and one
of his teeth-is gohe, and he has Jumps on
the back. of bis head, but he has had
good time, and he comes home to hear
his mother read about Joseph and his
brethren, and rub him with liniment
There is huge fun in catching on behind,
but it requires great deal of adroitness
and decision. The successful lad is he
who is never looking for a ride. He
stands with his hands in his pockets, ac-
lively devouring the scenery with one
eye, while the other is prewling around
under cover on the lookout for good
chance. And when it comes he pounces
down on the cornice of the sleigh in such
amanner as to cover the most tender
parts of himself in case he has fallen on a
! Philistine. The solicitude with which
boy shields his tender parts will bring
tears to the eyes of the tax-collector. But
he always gets on the sleigh, and gets off,
too, when urged by a long whip-lash
and when he gets off he rolls himself in b
lump and merely letsgo, and the fate tRat
always protects boys sees that he bounds
into safety. Wood sleighs; with long
| strong stakes to catch hold of, are god
senders, but a box sleigh, with place fol
three to sit on and make faces at rivals wht
are breaking down their legs and lungs IL
a vain attempt to catch up, is not to b.
despised. Not at all. Heaven bless tn
farmers who own blue sleighs with foo
boards protruding foot or so beyond tn
tail-board. Finally, prayer cannot avail
much where those boards are sawed Of
too close.-Dan6aTy Neacs.

Sound Ideas on Farming.

A lecture delivered at Baltimore, Md,
contains propositions peculiarly ap-
plicable to the Eastern portion of the
United States, and all but the third propo-
sition will apply with equal force every
where. They are:
q 1. That the area under cultivation
should be within the limits of the capital
and labor employed; or, in other words,
that on impoverished soils no one should
cultivate more land than he can enrich
with manure and fertilizers, be it one
acre or twenty.
2. That there should be law compell-
ing every man to prevent his stock from
depredating on his neighbor's fields.
8. That soiling or feeding crops green
is more economical than pasturing.
4. That deep tillage is essential to good
farming.
5. That the muck heap is the farmers
bank, and that everything should be
added to it that will enlarge it, and in
crease at the same time its fertilizing
properties.
6. That no farmer or planter should de
pend upon one staple alone, but should
seek to secure himself against seriou!
loss in bad seasons by diversity of pro
ducts

The Fourth of March.

We believe no President ever entered
upon the second term of his high Office
with greater or more general measure of
respect confidence and good will, than
that which attends General Grant upon
his second Inauguration. There is wide
and deep conviction that whatever minor
mistakes he may have committed, his Ad-
ministration has, upon the whole, been
crowned with unusual and unexpected
success. There have been differences of
opinion respecting the bestowment of
dozen or two of Federal offices, but in
the face of these he has carried into effect
a reform of the civil service which has
been urged and not secured by loud
talking and high-professing statesmen
for years. There have been complaints
of want of comprehensive statesman
ship; but the chief glory of his Admins
tration-the settlement of the Alabama
claims-has exhibited an aptitude for dip
lon1acy, the superior of which has rarely
been witnessed, and the good influence
Of whlch-upens the craftsmanship of all
nations will be felt for all coming time.
The. Policy of Peace-of Arbitration-of
Adjustment by Reason-is one which
will distinguish the Administration of
General Grant not only, but the Govern
ment of which he was at the time the Ex-
ecutive head. The occurrence of war
hereafter will be pure and simple barbar-
ism, since it has been fully demonstrated
upon what honorable terms war may be
avoided, and its dreary catalogue of hor,
rors and sufferings warded off.
| The Administration of General Grant
is not more to be commended for what il
has accomplished in this respect, than foI
what it has avoided in unwise and sen
sational directions. His has been an EN-
| inently conservative Administration
| There has been no excited, revolutionary
unsatisfed ambition at work to disturb
the course of trade, to war with the nat
ural tendencies of finance, or to detrac
from the utmost prosperity which has beer
susceptible of accomplishment by an un
disturbed condition of affairs. 1t is thu
confidence wrought by this admirable
method of government which has secured
to President Grant the universally of hi
support To his services as sol
dier he was indebted for hi
first term. But his second il
purely the reward of the confdenc,
which his statesmanlike and pruden
management has engendered. 1t was fel
that by re-electing him no risk would b.
run. He had demonstrated the course h
would pursue in the future, by the calm
conservative, prudent, dispassionat
course he had pursued in the past.
We anticipate from the second term Q
President Grant still more satisfactor,
result than has attended the one whicl
closed at noon to-day. The mistakes o
his past he will rectify or avoid. Wit
him the Office is no longer new, and it
duties an experiment. He begins as
veteran, not as novice. He will go fol

How to Make Cattle Stalls.

Allow me to give dairymen and farmers
my way of making cattle stalls. They
are easier made, strong enough, and in
fastening and unfastening cattle are much
handler than those made in the usual
way.
The bottom part should be made of a
stick of hewn timber, five inches by
eight Lay it out with line, allowing
three feet for each COW, and seven inches
between the Stats for the necks. Take
out the manger side, place the Stats, one
and three-fourths inches thick and five
inches in length across the stick for the
movable Stats, and half way across for
1.-THE others. Then nail strip of board four
/ inches wide and lone and one-fourth inches
thick, over these places the whole length.
This is easier than to mortise the Stats in
and just as strong. The movable slats
are much better put in this way, as al
the dirt and seed that get in fall through,
and the Stats always work loose; wher
they are mortised in, the dirt cannot gel
out, but binds against the edges, anC
causes the pins to break or the Stats tC
split.
The Stats should be five inches wide
one and one-fourth inches thick, and fou

the groom said to be about $4,000. The
day after the wedding the bride called at
the district school-house and removed her
school.books, saying that she would not
hereafter need to study them.
DELAWARE COUNTY, Ind, takes the
palm for manly meanness. A woman
named Thomas lately died while her ap,
plication for divorce from her husband
was still pending in court. That she had
good cause for divorce, and even tor dy-
ing, appears from the report that after her
death Mr. Thomas started q subscription
paper, circulating it himself, representing
that his "wife was dead; that he was very
poor, and that he wished to raise fifty
dollars to give her respectable burial. !"
He raised the fifty dollars, but, instead OF
paying his wife's funeral expenses, he
bought new suit of clothes, in which he
is now on the lookout for another wife.
A REPREHENsIBLE hoax was played
on the Legislature of Missouri the other
day. It having been reported that the
Hon. T. j. Kelley, the member from
Camden county, had died of quick con.
sumption, speeches highly eulogistic OF
| the deceased were made; both Houses
passed resolutions of coincidence and ad-
journed out of respect to his memory,
l
| the remains of the defunct legislator to
Linn Greek. The committee, in endeav'
oring to fulfil its duty, discovered Mr.
| Kelley at his boarding house in the act OF
taking very substantial dinner, and con
cluded to dispense with any funeral cere
monies. A search was made for tht
author of the false report, who wa'
finally discovered in the person
of small boy, who, it is saf'
to say, will never figure as the juvenile
hero of Sunday school book.
ONE Of the most remarkable instances
of total depravity on record is narrated
by the Chicago papers. Mrs Boyce, whit
was recently found guilty by Chicag!
jury of "involuntary manslaughter,
while confined In the city prison was fire
quently visited by good Samaritan il
the person of a lady who did her man,
acts of kindness and exhibited her sym

MILLIONS ON THE STRIKE I'm spite of
the enormous amount of capital invested
in the promotion of Intemperance, the
Missionaries of Sobriety have no reason
to be disheartened. The strike against
alcoholic drinks is not confined to the
ordinary liquors of commerce. 1t is ex-
tending to all medicines of which ardent
spirits form component part. The be-
lief that stimulants of this nature are
slop poisons gains ground everywhere.
Eminent Psychologists preach the doc
trine, and the dissecting knife and the
microscope afford post mortem evidence
of its truth. Fortunately at the very
time when our distinguished surgeons
were making the experiments which led
to this conclusion, a sagacious member of
the profession, DR.. Joseph Walker, of
California, was perfecting vegetable
tonic, possessing all the restorative prop
critics claimed for the spirituous astrin-
gents, and free from their deadly sting.
To those demoralizing, misunderstanding
potions his famous VINEGAR BITTERs
seem to be giving the coup de grace. The
demand for them declines, while the com
mercial and sanitary success of the new
medicine is complete. And we hear daily
of cases of dyspepsia, biliousness, mala.
rious fever, rheumatism, constipation,
general and local debility, gout, kidney
disease, etc., ETC., that have succumbed
to the great restorative after resisting al
others.

The nhosptabIe winds and chilly fogs Of spring
unwecome visitors to the feeble and aiing, and
by no means congenial to the healthy. If there is
any germ Of disease lurking in the system they are
sure to develop it, unless proper precautions are
taken to prevent such a misfortune. Bilious COM
plants, dyspepsia nervous debility, rheumatism, ir
reguarities of the bowels and disorders which affect
the Kidneys are all aggravated by the peculiar condi
ton of the atmosphere at this season. Invads who
are subject to any these disorders, have pre-
disposition thereto should therefore forearm them
selves against danger by strengthening the digestive
organs the nervous system and the muscular fiber
with daily doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
There is no period of the year at which stimulating
tonic and regulating medicine is more urgently re-
quired than in the spring and there is no preparation
of that class in which many valuable restorative
and preventive properties are combined In such
perfectly safe and harmless form as in Hostetters
B!tters 1t may be stated positively, as uncontra'
dictable fact that of this agreeable vegeta
BILE specific commenced now and continued through
the spring months will eectually shield the inhab
itants of marshy and masnatic localities from the
intermittent and remittent fevers caused by un
healthy exhalations from wet soil.
