REMEMBER, on one occasion, when
Allen was about to leave "the manse," he
put his dogs, for my amusement, through
some of tffeir drill, as he called it. They
were all sleeping around the kitchen fire,
the pups freed from the girdle, wander
ing at liberty, when Allen said, "Go out,
one of you, my children, and let me know
if the day is fair or wet" A dog instant
ly arose, while the rest kept their places,
and, with erect tail, went out. Return
ing, it placed itself by Allan's side, so
thathe might, by passing his hand along its
back, discover whether 1t was wet or dry,
Go" he again said, "and tell the foolish
child lone of the pups) who is frolicklng
outside the house to come in" Another
dog arose, departed, and returned, wag-
ging his tail, and looking up to Aliens
face. "Ohl he won't come, won't he 4?
Then go and bring him in, and, if neces.
sary, by force" The dog again departed,
but this time carried the yelping pup in
his mouth, and laid it at Aliens feet.
"Now, my dear children, let us begone,"
said Allen, rising as if to proceed on his
journey. But at this moment two
terriers began to fight-though it seemed
asmimic battle-while an old, sagacious-
looking coolie never moved from his
comfortable place beside the nre. 10 un-
derstand this scene, though, you must
know that Allen had taken offense at the
excellent Sheriff of the district, because
of his having refused him some response
BILE situation on his property, and to
avenge himself, had trained his dogs to
act the drama which was now in prog
ress. Addressing the apparently sleeping
dog, whom he called "the Sheriff." he
said "There you lie, you lazy dog en-.
joying yourself when the laws are break
ing by unseemly dispute and fights But
what care you, if you get your meat and
drink? Shame upon you, Sheriff. II
seems must teach you your duy. Get
up this moment, sir-or I'll bring this
staff down upon your head-and make
these wicked dogs keep the peacem In
an instant "the Sheriff rose, and separa.
ted the combatants 1t was thus that
when any one offended Allen past all pos
sibility of forgiveness, he Immediately
trained one of the dogs to illustrate his
character, and taught it lessons by which
in every house he could turn his supposed
enemy into ridicule.-GOOd Words

weaker places and leave the stronger por-
tions TO take care of themselves.
There is one consideration in hauling
and spreading manure in winter which II
is perhaps unnecessary to mention. Man
ures should not be placed in swales and
low places where water runs. The fer
tilizing properties of the portion so placed
may be washed away; bnt, here again, not
to so great a degree as is often supposed.
Unless the current be strong and confined
to a narrow channel, the fertilizing pro-
pertie of the manure will be gradually
given up to the soil and grass over which
Il extends These facts are well-known
to those conversant with the processes of
irrigation, but are not so well understood
by the general farmer who has not had
experience in these matters.
When the water falls ON the surface as
rain, and does not flow over the surface,
the soluble manure, taken up by the drops
as they fall, is Immediately given up again
/ to the soil through which 1t percolates or
saturates as it slowly runs along; for,
/ though water is the universal solvent, IL
| gives up the constituents again as freely
! as it has received them. Hence, the eX-
traordlnary fertilizing properties ofwater
in irrigation, which water TO the ordin-
airy sense, seems perfectly pure. - Western

tion of Cruelty to Animals. The neglect
of proper feeding and care of animals Is
so glaring and atrocious in its character
that the criminality should be exposed

that cattle are transported from Chicago
to New York without feed or care, other
than a shipper with sharp.pointed nail

A STITCH IN TINE SAVES NINE.-Who
does not know a household where things
originally of the best and set in tirst-rate
order are allowed to go to rack and ruin
for want of competent hand at the helm;
where there is scarcely piece of furni-
ture or domestic utensil of any sort which
does not get miS-used, as well as N-used; !;
where chairs and sofas not only become
worn by sitting on, but by standing on,
by being made to do duty for steps when
pictures have to be arranged, books
reached from shelves, etc, and where the
wear and tear thus wrought is never
checked by timely repairing; where the
gimp trimming is allowed to unravel for
want of the friendly tack, and halt the
stutling allowed to escape by the hole be-
fore any effort is made to arrest the dam
age; where, in fact, no mending is ever
attempted until the dilapidated object be-
comes unusable; where ornaments of the
stove, mirror frames, cabinets, whatnOt,
are taken no heed of and are lost, instead
of being preserved for the glue-pot day,
thus keeping up the generally defaced
look which all the appointments rapidly
assume; where the carpet binding re.
mains unsewn, linen undarned, glass and
china cracked and Clipped, window
panes starred, curtains and blinds half
torn from rods and rollers; where forks
scissors, and knives get twisted, bent, and
broken from having been made to do the

-Varnish for Shoes. The Manufacturer
and Builder gives this recipe:. Three
pounds of rain water are placed in pot
over the fire, and when well boiling there
are added four ounces white pulverized
wax, one ounce clear, transparent glue in
small pieces, two ounces white soap,
scraped fine, two ounces brown pulverized
sugar; the ingredients are placed in one
by one, and every time stirred up; it is
well to take the pot from the fire every
time a substance is added, to prevent boil
ing over; when ali is added, the pot is re.
moved from the fire; when sufficiently
cooled, three ounces alcohol are added,
and finally three ounces fine Frankfort
black, we'll incorporated by continued
stirring. This varnish is put on the
leather with brush, and is very valuable
for boots and shoes, as it can be afterward
polished with large brush like ordinary
shoe backing, shows nigh polish, and
does not soil the clothing.

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times Women call upon 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-
scrihes his pills and potions, assuming them
to be such, when, in reality, they are all symp
toms caused by some uterine disorder; and
while they are thus only able perhaps to pal
liate for time, they are Ignorant of the cause,
and encourage their practice until large bills
are made, when the suffering patients are no
better in the end, but probably worse for the
delay treatment, and other complications
made, and which a proper medicine directed
to the cause would have entirely removed,
thereby instituting health and comfort instead
of prolonged misery.

AMERICAN WoMEN.--It is melancholy
fact, that American women have degen-
Grated in point of health and physique,

hearty and buxom ladies of days gone by,
To all such the late discovery of DIR.
WALKER, of California, which is known
as VINEGAR BITTERs, is priceless boon
indeed. For this class of diseases 1t is GER
tain and safe, and any lady, old or young,
can take it with entire confidence in the
result, and thus avoid what to thousands
is stumbling block never overcome, viz.
IA consultation with family physician,
'ris true there may be cases of years
stasding, that will necessitate more pow
erful treatment, but in nine cases out OF
ten this remedy will reach the disease,
and after little time effect cure. The

bered by thousands, and are scattered

Intelligence of Hogs.

Hoes often show great intelligence and
aptitude to learn. A forester had a Chi
nese pig which followed him like dog,
came at call and ran up and down stairs.
1t learned to bow and perform several
tricks. 1t was very expert in hunting
mushrooms; and, when told TO keep
watch, it would remain at its post until
called away. When its owner said II am
going to kill you," it would lie down on
its back and stretch out its legs
When Louis XI. was sick, in order to
relieve the sadness of his mind, noble
man thought of teaching pig to dance
and bringing it before him. 1t was not
long before pig could hop about very
well to the sound of a bagpipe; they then
dressed it with coat, pantaloons, necktie,
hat, sword, etc.,-ln short, all that the
court gentlemen of the time were accus-
toned to wear, and introduced it into the
presence of the king. The animal bowed
danced and followed all orders in the
most artistic manner, until, getting tired
it became so awkward that the king roar
ed with laughter, to the delight of his
courtiers.
/ An English gentleman carefully trained
hog for hunting. Slug, for so the hog
was called, was very fond of the chase,
/ and was ever on the alert when the hunts
men were preparing TO start, but the dogs
! could not endure its company and their
owner was never able to make use of both
| at the same time. Slug would scent a
bird from great distance and would dig
| in the earth to show where it had been.
When the birds hoped, it followed like
a dog.
Hogs have been trained for draught A
countryman was in the habit of going to
/ st. Adams market in small cart drawn
by four hogs; another cOuntryman won a
wager that his hog would carry him on
| its back four miles in one hour. These
facts are cited to show that the hog is a
more intelligent animal than we give
him credit for However, every kind,
hearted person will disapprove of teach.
ing dumb creatures to perform tricks.
For our own part, we take no pleasure in
seeing dancing bears and spelling pigs
for the process of training draws SO deep
ly on our sympathy that we look upon
every thing of the kind as the torturing Of
nimals.-Our Dumb Animdls.
