The Old-Fogy Man.

BY VI.
He was a queer, old-fogy man.
And loved old-fogy ways;
And rallied against the reckless speed
OF these fast modern days.
Tie once could travel eisurely,
And stop his friends to hail
But now they rushed him through by steal
And rode him on rail
That good old coach was fast enough
For prudent folk TO go;
Impatient men now laugh at it,
Aud say twas rather slow
And 20 they rush upon the tram,
And speed ike thought away,
Until a smash up breaks their bones
He thinks it doesn't pay
He loved old housewives spinning wheels;
The music of their hum
Was far more dear to his OH ear
Than grand-piano thrum.
But all lac signs those wheels are gone
Since Whitney made his gin;
No more We he thair thrifty hum,
No more the SISTERS spin
The rosy girls of olden time,
Sunburnt we're firmer made
Than these the late and tender shoots
That grow mp in the shade.
They did their mothers heavy work,
And eased her Nealy hands;
And sometimes, too, il brothers failed,
Could help to do the mans
Their dresses, made with easy sit,
Give not pain beneath;
Their hearts had ample room TO beat,
Their lungs had room, 10 breathe
Unlike our present girls, with waists
Too much compressed ani slight,
Who, if they do not dlssipate,
Are very often tight
They let not fashion dwarf their forms,
But grew to eomelg size,
And hoaith shone ever on their brows
And sparkle from their eyes
They thanked kind heaven for all its gifts
And thought, with secret pride,
That they we're beautiful enough,
And the were satisfied
But nov, our modern iris, alas
Think Providence unkind
For putting too much in the midst
And not enough behind;
And SO they hustle round, and lace,
To mend such clumsy ways,
And think they far outshine the girls
OF good old-fogy days.
He wished he said for their sweet sakes
That Fashions torturing vice
Would ease them up little and
Less pinching would suffice;
That they might feel the bounding health
Around the heart that plays,
When all unfettered as it was
In good old-fogy days.

scales. Why should the farmer allow
a pound of butter, cheese, pork, or
wool, straw, hay, or grain to go off his
farm except it be paid for by his own
weight ? There is only one good reason
for it that We know of, and that is that
it is rarely the case that he has any
scales with which to weigh his own pro-
duce when he sells it. IT is rather
absurd, too, and very poor farm econo.

Scales, or pair Of balances, in the

for housekceper and cook, and by
those who have tested their utility are
regarded as essential. For weighing

of detecting and exposing dishonesty.

ling or less trifle, perhaps, the vete-

graph has told his readers how to cure
meat. As no one yet seems to improve
upon the method, we will for the, say,
fifteenth time, repeat it: '.To one gall
lon Of water, take one and onc.half
pounds of salt, one-half pound of SUI

the pickle can be increased to any guam

Then throw it into tub to cool, and
when cold, pour it over your beef or

during which time it should be slightly

Cure for Diphtheria.

The ravages Of diphtheria have been
so extensive in Australia within the last
few years that the government offered
4 large reward for any certain method
Of cure. Among the responses was one
by Mr.. Greathead, who at first kept
his method a secret, but afterwards
communicated it freely. It consists
solely IF sulphuric acid, four drops Of
which are diluted in three.fourths of a
tumbler of water, to be administered to
an adult at intervals not specified. In
case Of children the dose is smaller.

Scarlet Fever.

In this disease the parent and the
school teacher are often concerned to
know how long time must elapse be-
fore it is safe to admit tho convalescent
children to mingle with other children.
And the answer is that for month, at
least, the body of a scarlet fever patient
is~casting off scales from the skin, and
from the nose, throat, bowels and kid
neys, discharges which are poisonous
and convey the disease. The chief
danger, however. arises from the skin,
as this is the main outlet for the blood
poison to escape, hence every scale it
throws off can carry the infection.

Fattelai11C Horses.

The New England Homestead says
that if the usual feed has been unground
grain and hay, nothing but a change
will effect any desirable alteration in
the appearance Of the animal. In case
oil meal cannot be obtained readily,
mingle bushel Of fax seed with a
bushel Of barley, one of oats. and an.
other Of Indian corn, and let it be ground
into fine meal. Or meal of the
barley, oats, and corn in equal quanti-
tics, may first be procured, and one
fourth part Of oil cake mingled with
it when the meal is sprinklcd on cut
feed. Feed two or three quarts of the
mixture two or three times day,
mingled with peck of cut hay or straw.
If the horse will eat that grecdily, let
the quantity be gradually increased
until he will eat four or six
quarts at every feeding, three times a
day: But avoid the practice of letting
the horses stand at rack we'll filled
with hay. In order to fattcn horse
that has run down in flesh, the groom
should be very particular to feed the
animal no more than he will eat up
clean, and then lick his manger for
more.
