Conscience never duZ.
A good karakter IL allWuss gained bi

Mummy IL responsible for most of the
dirty work that haz been done in this
world.
When a man finds fault with himself,
he expeckts yu will kondradikt him,

Temptashuns are necessary a man

ReereatIon ror Farmers.

Farmers necessarily live at considera-
Bile distances from each other, and in
consequence OF this and their habits of
steady labor, confine themselves too
much to their own fields and firesides.
They and their families need recreation.
need pleasure, need something to coun-
teract the effect of the constant labor
in which they are engageS. The me-
chanic in the village or city has his
mind frequently drawn away from his
work by that which is going on around
him but the farmer, being differently
situated, finds nothing to break up the
monotory, unless he seeks for it else
where. 1t is quite probable that more
would be accomplished, and better
tone of feeling be experienced, to say
nothing of the more cheerful counte-
nance which would be worn, if a half
day each week were given to social In
tercourse with fellow farmers, instead of
devoting six full days each week to I'M
RENTING labor. After a day spent
pleasantly away from homo, the labor
is not as irksome the laborer is hap
pier. Allowing that as much was not
accomplished by giving a little time to
relaxation, it should be borne in mind
that food and raiment for the family,
forage for the stock, and money for the
bank, are not the only things worth
striving for. We need happiness.
But, if portion of this time be given
to a wide-Rwake farmers club, ideas viii
be gained, practical knowledge &C
quired, which in time viii bring about
results far in excess of those which will
bo realized by the farmer who does
not improve these opportunities.

Changing SOils Permanently.


Every farmer and gardener knows that
manure does not last great many years
in the soil, and that a farm or garden
IN flae condition, ii not fed with fer
tilizers, viii run ont after awhile. But
/ have tried one way of improving the
soil that is permanent, and theimprove-
ment, 1 calculate, will last a hun
dred years at least. Ny soil is
heavy, too heavy for gardening, and
have made it lighter by drawing or
sand in winter from a knoll composed
mostly of sand. When the horses and
hired men had little else to do, 1 had
them hitched to the sled, and covered a
part of my garden with n stratum of
sand two or three inches thick. In a
year or two, when it became we'll mixed
through the soil, should like you to
have seen the crops that grew there 7
measured a crop of carrots at the rate
Of 1900 bashels per acre. This was
nearly twenty years ago, and it is now
the best part Of the garden. 1t don't
exhaust. The sand stays there-it con-
not evaporate. It would be too much
to draw sand for a farm, yet I think it
would pay we'll on some particular
spots FOR root crops. If the sand is
handy, two men and team will cover
ten square rods in n day, costing say
$50 per acre, and we'll worth il on 3

MI DEsPERANDUM.-Ar real healthy
man or woman is rarity and what
wonder? when we realize that it is the
custom to overload the stomach, and
then produce chronic disease by the use
of spirituous liquors, tonics, appetizers,
restoratives, etc. Having first produced
disease by indiscretion, the victim won
ders why nothing does i'm good. Just
so and the reason is that they all, or
nearly all, find basis in alcohol-or
poison. To all thus discouraged, we
can conscientiously say, "make one
more trial" Discard spirituous medi-
cincs, and give nature a chance, aiding
her in the struggle by using one of her
own pure and unadulterated herb RENE
dies, in the shape of Vinegar Bitters.
The discoverer, DR.. J. Walker, of Cali
fornia, is no pretender, but an honor
able practicing physician, and his dis
covery is the result of years of labor
and study. The wonderful cures effec-
ted by them of dyspepsia, fevers, rheu-
mRtism, and many other terrible dis
cases, are almost incredible.

Treating the wrong disease.

Many times women call upen their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with
palpitation. another with trouble of the breast,
another with pain here and there, and in this
way they all present alike to themselves and
their easy-going and Indifferent doctors, sepa-
rate and distinct diseases, for which he pre-
scribes his pills and potions, assuming them to
be such, when, in reality, they are symptoms
caused by some uterine disorder; and while
they are thus only able perhaps to paIliate for
a time, they are ignorant of the cause, and en-
courage their practice until large bills are
made, when the suffering patients are no bet
ter in the end, but probably worse for the de-
lay, treatment, and other complications made
and which proper medicine directed to the
cause would have entirely removed, thereby
insttuting health and comfort instead of pro-
longed misery.

Muscular Force of the Heart.


From recent review of the Rev. DIR.
HaugEton's experiments regarding the
muscular force exerted by the human
heart, we condense as follows The
heart is composed of innumerable mas
cular fibres arranged like two balls Of
Irvine, each with cavity in its centre,
and both completely enveloped in a
third ball. These are, however, not
continuous, as in the case of irvine
wound on a ball, but work independents
". BY calculating the force exeried by
these fibres. when either contracted or
extended, and expressing the result in
"fOot-tOns that is, in the force re-
quired to lift ton to the height OF one
foot-it appears that the dali, work of the
left ventricle alone, which lifts at each
stroke three ounces OF blood through a
height of Q, 923 feet, is equal to 50, zoo
fOOt-tons. Estimating the relative pow
er of the right ventricle to that of the
left, in the proportion of TO Is, the
total daily work of both is equal TO 124,
pos foot-tons. Although tho average
weight of the heart is but $50 ounces.
the work done by it in given time ex.
ceeds that accomplished by all the other
muscles exercised in a boat-race during
the same period. Helmholts, the Ger
man physicist, proved that the heart
q uld raise its own weight 20, $50 feet in
an hour, while the best locomotive en-
CINE could only raise its own weight
,, zoo feet in the same time. An active
climber, with the full exercise Of all the
needed muscles, can only accomplish
5000 feet in nine hours, or one-twen-
tieth the work done by the heart.
