Term.

The New York Society for the Pre-
yention of Cruelty to Animals has issued
the following circular relative to the
treatment of horses during the heated
term
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals would call attention
to suffering horses and mules in our
streets during the hot season, and rec
ommend drivers and others having ami
mails under their care the most conside-
rate treatment. 1t would also recon-
mend feeding a small bundle of wet hay
or couple of quarts of oats in the mid
die of the day use but little corn, as it
is very heating, and soak whatever is
used In salt water for twenty four hours
before feeding !; to use the wet spongeon
the head TO furnish a little drinking
water rs often as practicable, when not
over-heated, and as a further means of
refreshing the animal, throw WATERPROOF
the legs and such parts as are liable to
chafe by perspiration or otherwise to
drive slowly and lessen the load usually
imposed in cooler weather to loosen
the check-rein, or better dispense with
it altogether to cover the animal with
fly net, or, preferable, with light
sheet. The following preparation is
recommended for animals suffering from
being over-heated To one pint of wa
ter put one ounce of chloride of am
monia ; one ounce of sweet spirits of
inter one drahm tincture of aconite ;
give tablespoonful every hour or two.

But the Republican party is not solely
entitled to confidence and support be-
cause it is opposed to corruption. 1t
goes farther than this, and is the friend
of every measure designed to benefit the
people. It's sympathies are heartily in
accordance with the spirit of our Gov
eminent, and it has done more to ele-
vate the oppressed, and for human pro-
gress, than any other part in this or
any other country. 1t is the party Of
the people, and in all measures advo-
Gated or adopted by it the object has
been to extend liberty, insure equal
rights, and promote general prosperity.
The people cannot afford TO abandon
such party to run after the skeleton OF
Democracy or the fanaticism of weak
mined ambition as exhibited in efforts
to organize new parties upon narrow
and inadequate platforms. If there are
wrongs to correct, correct them inside
the party. If there are new issues de-
serving of Endorsement, have them in
dorsed and carried into effect by the
Republican party. It's defeat can only
be the success of Democracy ; and De-
mocracy gives no promise of good, but
every assurance of evil legislation and
government. Stand by the party of the
people-the party which has given such
vitality to the principles of our Govern
ment and the energies of the people,

A Sample Amateur Farmer.

We are compelled in the interests of
veracity to denounce, as malicious and
unfounded, the report circulated,
doubtless, by calumnious adversaries)
that Col. n. j. Colman, in his recent
speech at Indianapolis, advised farmers,
whose corn-fields were menaced by the
wire-worm, to try cross-breeding with
the tape-worm and use the product,
properly galvanized, for fencing pur-
poses. What the gallant Col. did say
was, that farmers whose early corn had

season. There is only one safe way in
attempting to rescue a person from
drowning, and that is to approach him
from behind, grasping each arm firmly
just above the elbows, buoying him up,
and carefully keeping him before you.
This may be done by any good swimmer
who keeps his presence of mind, even

Stay OH the Farm.

farmers and farmers boys as follows
If discontinued farmers, farmers
wives, sons and daughters, who think
the delights of citylife something worth
realizing, could walk through our
streets to-day and read one-thousandth
part of the misery and apprehension
that haunt the hearts of all classes and
are making lines on their faces, they
would thank God for the peace and Sc
clusion and abundance gathered in the
men AID women are at the beginning OF
winter suddenly thrown out of employ
ment Few, comparatively, of these
have aught laid up in store. Young
women flock through the streets with
restless, eager, anxious eyes, with lips
quivering with fear lest they fail to OLD
tain employment that shall give them
food and shelter. Boys and girls of the
country be grateful for plenty and
shelter. You will, perhaps, never know
how TO value it until you want and can
not get either. How many of these in
the city are country-born and how
many would gladly go back to the
homesteads for refuge, and yet may not
have the means to get there Farmers,
thank God for the harvests, and that
you have unsold food for your families

compared with the same bills last year.
The figures include the amounts of the
bills as they became laws, and also as
they were reported by the committees
for the years 1874 and 1873. 1t appears

The 0Id-F ogy Man.

La humorous recitation
He was aiqneer old-fogy man,
And loved old-fcgY ways
And rallied against the reckless speed
OF these fast modern days.
He once could travel leisurely,
And stop bis friends to hail.
But now they rushed him through the steam
Androde him on a rail.
That good old co ach was fast enough
For prudent folk to go /;
Impatient men row laugh att,
And say twas ratf er slow;
And so they rush upon the train,
And speed like thought away,
Until smash-up breaks their bones;
He thinks 1t doesn't pay.
He loved old housewives spinning wheels
The music of their hum
Was far more dear to his old ear
Than grand-piano thrum-
Bat alb he signs, those wheels are gone
Since Whitney made his gin
No more we hear their thrifty hum,-
No more the sisters spin
The rosy girls of olde time
Sunburnt. were frmer made
Than these, the late and tender shoots,
That grow up in the shade;
They did their mothers heavy work,
And eased her weary hands;
And sometimes, too, if brothers failed,
Could help to do mans
Their dresses, made with easy fit
Gave not pain beneath
Their hearts had ample room to beat,
Their lungs had room to breathe
Unlike our present girls, with waists
Too much compressed all slight,
Who, if they do not dissipate,
Are very often tight!
They let not fashion dwarf their forms.
But grew to comely size,
And health shone ever on tn cir brows,
And spa killed. from their eyes
They thanked kind Heaven tor all its gifts.
And thought, with secret pride,
That they were beautiful enough,
And they were satisfied
But pow7 our modern gi.ls, alas
Think Providence uDl1ind
For putting too much in the midst,
And not enough behind;
And so they hustle round, and lace,
TO mend such clumsy ways,
And thinkthey far outshine the girls,
otgood old-fogy days
lie wished, he said, for their sweet sakes.
That Fashions torturing wise
Would ease them up a little, and
Less pinchtng 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.
