Like Me.

AtlEe nc.
What would happen, do you suppose,
If the mignonette should say to the
rose:
"The pride of roses hate to see;
Why don't you keep near the ground
like me?"
What if the roses should say to the
"My form and color are orthodox
To please your Maker, you've got to
be, a4T
Precisely in all respects like me-"
What if the grape should soy to pear.
"Why are you Haunting about up
there?
Beware of swinging alone and free;
You ought to cling 10 iTeiiis, like
me-"
What II a river should gay to rill:
IF You weren't too lazy you'd turn q
mill;
Study my method. and try to be.
A rushing, roaring river like me-"
What it a swan should say to crow:
"You belong to the race of so-and-so,
It's deadly sin for you to be free;
Your only hope is in serving me-"
What if a goose should teach wrenl
Or an eagle try to follow hen!
What if the monkeys should all agree,
That there ought to be uniformity
What if man should say to another:
"Differ with me and you're not my
brother;
I have the truth as the oracles tell;
Go with me or you'll 60 to hell'

AN EXTRAORDINARY DIVORCE CASE.
It is common enough in some States
Tor wives to apply to the courts and
get divorces in cases of cruel treat
ment by their husbands, but rarely is
an application made by husband for
divorce on the ground of cruel treat
ment by wife. Such case came up,
however, before judge Westbrook. in
the Supreme Court of New York, on
the 7th. Jules D. Meyer, the com.
p!ainant. charged his wife. Ellen d.
Meyer, with cruel and inhuman treat
ment, and so satisfied was the Judge
with the truth and gravity of the COM
plant that he granted the divorce,
though. as he eaid, with great hesita-
ton and reluctantly.

Hereditary Influence.

Parents aware Of their W tend
ency to inirmities of body and mind
should be ~unceasing in their vigilance
over their children, so as to prevent
predisposition from becoming a habit.
For example, q child of parents prone
TO epilepsy, apoplexy or insanity, and
who displays precocity of mind and
great vivacity Of feeling, should be
kept from all irritants, either in
shape Of food, or drinks, or appliea-
tons to the outer senses, from strong
appeals to the feelings, and be en-
Outraged to bodily exercise rather
than to book-tastes, to hasten the
development Of the Intellectual facul-
ties beyond their strength. The
very early activity Of an organ. the
consequence Of its premature devel-
opment, so far from being q reason
for tasking it to greater exercise,
should, on the contrary, be the sign
for dismising the supply of stimuli or
agents capable Of still further excit-
ing it. But however good and per-
feet the home discipline, it cannot be
successful without the hearty coop
Grafton of the sensible school instruc-
tor, who not only ought to under
stand human nature, and know the
parents by their children, but be as
able to teach the full use fthe limbs,
and how to wear a graceful carriage,
as to lead the pupils through all the
Of q mathematical problem.

Fowls in She Horse stable.

Fowls should never be permitted,
saws the New York Times, to have
access to the. horse stable, the feed
room nor the bay now. Their rooms
should be entirely separate from the
stable, SO that they may not always
be ready to slip in, whenever a door
is opened; and that the vermin which
infest poultry may-not reach horses
and cattle.
It is a well known fact hat fowls
Of all kinds frequently drop a very
sordid, offensive, clammy, vicious
odor; and when allowed to go on the
hay NOW, in the feeding room, or
anywhere ia the barn, they damage
the fodder then we are wont to sup
pose. We would almost as soon al
low fowls to live in the kitchen, to
hop or the dinner table while we are
eating, and to roost on our beadstead,
as to allow them to have free access
70 the horse stable and barn.
Some horses are always afraid OIL
fowls: ard when one enters the man.
ger, or rack, the timid horses will i'm.
mediately surrender their entire right
however hungry they may be, to
these lawless marauders. And after
they have scratched over their feed
with their foul feet, and smeared q
portion Of it with their filthy drop
pings, q horse viii be hungry indeed
before be viii eat his mess. Many
a hungry horse has been deprived OF
bis feeding Of grain by a lot Of these
bold, g~aIinacious robbers that have
learned when and where TO fill their
empty crops with the feed Of a jaded
horse. Let gates and bars exclude
fowls and pigeons from the doors and
windows Of all horse stables.

Brother Jonathan.

This term, as applied to the United
States, originated in aplayful remark
Of Washington. The incident is this:
When General Washington, after be-
ing appointed commander oftbe army
OF the Revolutionary War, went 10
Massachusetts 10 organize it, be
found a great want Of ammunition
and other means Of defense, and on
tie occasion it seemed that nc means
could be devised for the necessary
safety. Jonathan Thumbull, the el-
der, was then Governor Of the State
Of Connecticut; and the General,
placing the greatest reliance on bis
excellency's judgment, remarked,
I'VE must consult Brother Jonathan
on the subject" The General did so
and the Governor was successful in
supplying many of the wants Of the
army; and thenceforward, when diff
culties arose, and the army was
spread over the country, it became a
byphrase. eve must consult Broth
er Jonathan and the name now has
become designation for the whole
country, as John Bull has for Eng
land.
