is white-skinned, of good size, and at
tains maturity rapidly. The Brahma
is the largest and finest of domestic
fowls; with full, broad, prominent
breast; back short and broad be
tween the shoulders and across the
hips; curved, slender neck, and
wings small and light. The true
Brahma is good fattener, a frst-rate
table fowl, early ripe, and at maturity
Of enormous proportions. A cross be-
tween the Brahma and Dorking is also a
profitable market bird, being less impa-
tient of restraint in feeding grounds
than the pure Dorking. The Houdan
is put in equal rank with the Brahma
and Dorking as a meritorious fowl.
Large, heavy, small boned, and a
minimum of offal, they are hardy, and
mature rapidly. The chickens are fit
for the table at four months, and the
flesh is white and fine: "On the
whole, as few hardy breeds are better
than many of various merit and de-
grees of constitution, we should
gather from Tegetmeier, as well as
from our own observations, that Brah-
mas, Dorkings and Houdans are the
best investment, taken all in all, fol
the poultry yard"

Purity of Character,

Over the beauty Of the plum and
apricot there grows bloom and beauty
more exquisite than the fruit itself
soft delicate flush that overspreads it's
blushlng cheek. Now if you strike
your hand over that, and it is once
gone, it is gone forever, for it never
grows but once. The flower that grows
IN the morning, impearled with dew
arrayed with jewels-once shake it, so
that the heads roll off, and you may
sprinkle water on it as you please, yet
it can never be made again as it was
when the dews fell lightly on it from
heaven. On frosty morning you may
see the panes of glass covered with
landscapes, mountains, lakes and trees,
blended into beautiful fantastic pic
ture, Now lay your hands upon the
glass, and by the scratch of your finger,
or by the warmth of your palm, all the
delicate tracery will be obliterated.
So there is in youth beauty and pur-
ity Of character which when once touch
ed and defled can never be restored;
fringe more delicate than frostwork,
and which torn and broken can never
be embroidered. A man who has
spotted and soiled his garments in
youth, though he may seek to make
them white again, can never wholly do
it, even were he to wash them with his
tears. When young man leaves his
fathers house with the blessing of his
mothers tears still wet upon his fore
head, if he once loses that purity of
character it is loss that he can never
make whole again. Such is the conse-
quence of crime. IT'S effect can only
be eradicated. it can only be forgiven.
-Beecher.

Household Hints.

FooD FOR INvALIDs. Daisy
Eyebright, in the Country Gentleman,
expatlates so admirably on the topic of
food for lnvalids that we are sure our
readers, and the fairest portion of them
at least, will be pleased to see the en-
tire article reproduced. This is what
Miss Daisy says:
There is no more desirable accom-
plishment for women than to know how
to make invalids comfortable, and to
prepare tempting dishes for them, for
food cooked by the hand of a wife,
ralish than the mere component parts
can give; and has frequently restora-
tive power which m oney cannot supply.
l therefore propose to give various reci-
pes which will enable readers to pre-
pare relishing and toothsome dishes
for those who are i'll, and to vary the
food as selection or symptoms may
render expedlent.
Farinaceous food, jellies and meat
broths, are the most nutritious pre-
parations for invalids; and such food
as the patient can take without pro
ducing distress and pain in the digest
i've organs is the kind which will give
the most strength to the system.
Sage CRUEL. Take three table
spoonfuls of sage, and wash IN cold
water then add one quart of boiling
hot milk, and boil for twenty minutes;

{ Pulpit Anecdotes,

DR.. Guthrie, the celebrated Scotch
minister, has left behind him pleas
ant autobiography. It was written in
the decline of his life, and yet has the
freshness of superabundant ami
NAL spirits. He tells two capital
stories which illustrate ecclesiastical
life il Scotland, and the quaint humor
OF Scotchmen. One is of DR.. Erskine,
q great preacher in his day.
Dr. Ersklne was remarkable for his
simplicity OF manner and gentle tenn
per. He returned so often from the
pulpit minus his pocket handkerchief,
ana could tell SO little how or where it
was lost, that Mrs. Erskine at last be-
gan to suspect that the handkerchiefs
were stolen as he assembled the pulpit
stairs, by some of the old wives who
lined it. So both to balk and detect
the culprlt, she seWed a corner of a
handkerchief to one of the pockets of
his coat tails. Half way up the stairs
the good doctor felt a tug, whereupon
he turned round to the old woman who
was the guilty hand to say, with great
calmness and simplicity: No the
day, honest woman, no the day; Mrs.
Another is Of DR.. Guthrie's expe-
rience in examining witness in a
church trial, who did not wish to tell
all he knew. The case was that of a
certain minister charged with drunken
ness.
Besides other proofs of drunken
ness, having drawn this out of a wit
ness, that the minister, on one occa-
sion, as he lolled over the side of the
pulpit-being, in fact, unable to stand
upright, -said that he loved his people
so much that he would carry them all
to Heaven on his back, asked him,
Now, John, when you heard him say
so, what impression did so strange a
speech make on you?'
Others, to the same question, as I'M
willing witnesses as John, had already
said that though they would not say
he was drunk at the time, they certain
ly thought SO.
But John showed himself equal to
the occasion.
Weel, he replied, Master Guth-
RE, I'll just tell you what thought
There was great fat wife, you see,
sitting in the seat before me, and
thinks !, my lad if you set off to the
Kingdom of Heaven with that wife on
your back, my certie, you'll no be back
for the rest O. Us in hurry ="

Breeds of Fowls.

The recent publication of a new edi-
ton of Tegetmeier's Poultry Book, has
called out lengthy review OF the book
by the London Saturday Review, from
which we condense the following as
Tegetmeier's opinion of the different
breeds now principally kept in Eng
land:
Two data are given from which to
estimate the value of a fowl for the
table or market. "a table fowl should
be all breast, with short limbs and
small bones" Also, that fowls are in
perfection for the table only before
they have attained maturity There

fowl. He objects to the Span
ish on account of their dark
legs, so Objectionable in the
market. The Games have the draw
back of yellow skin, though the flesh
is well favored. The Polish and Ham
burgh, though excellent in flavor, are
small in size and are delicate to rear.
The Cochin develops the leg at the ex.
pense, oF the breast, but, although a
little s~~~~@e, is a good table fowl for
home use, but not for shipping. Mated

Worms in Horses,

The presence of orms in the horse
is marked at first by an increased ap-
petite, but the animal, notwithstanding
the quantity of food which he con
sumes, falls off in condition; his skin
is dry and hide bound his coat is
rough, and is not shed at the ordinary
time; there is an annoying itching.
which causes the horse to rub his up
per lip against the manger or on the
wall; sometimes there is considerable
itching about the rectum, which is in
Dictated ) tle horse rubbing his tail
or rump against anything within
reach. The symptoms before men
toned are such as would lead one to
suspect the existence of worms, but it
is only when these appear among the
dung voided by the horse that we can
speak with certainty on the nature of
the evil. At later period, and especi-
ally when the worms have develop
ed in great numbers, the symptoms
are very much aggravated, and the
horse becomes emaclated, and suffers
occasionally from coliicky pains; the
flank is tucked he walks with diff
Guilty, and a fatal termination will
sometimes ensue. AS to treatment, a
dose OF aloes (aloes, six drachms !;
powdered ginger, two drachms; treac]e,
sufficient to make a pilD, may be
given, which has often the effect of
expeIling the worms without having
resource to any other treatment. II

filings into twelve parts, and make into
as many balls. with sufficient linseed

morning until finished then give a

The Cholera Epidemic in Europe in
1873.

The London Medical Record says
that during the past year there were
533, 295 cases OF cholera in Hungary,
and that of this number 244, 718 per-
sons recovered, 1S2, $40 are dead, and
2,97S remain under treatment. Croatia
and Slavonia, the ancient military
boundaries, are not included in these
lists, nor are the victims whom cholera
carried off when it broke out at the end
OF 1872 III Buda and Upper Hungary.
The population of the countries of the
crown of st. Stephen amount to 16, 00O,-
900, and since it is estim. ated that to-
gether they havs~lost this year 200, 900
souls by cholera, it follows that in 80
OF the inhabitants has fallen beneath
this terrible scourge.

Rapid Growth of Pigs,

Mr. Martin Carroll, of gainesville,
O., wishing to ascertain if very young
pigs of the Berkshire breed could be
readily fattened, took a couple of lit
tiers from the sows at eight weeks old,
and, after weighing, they were shut up
and fed meal, corn, Stops and water, as
much as they could take, and no more.
At the end of sixteen days they had
gained on the average thirty -four
pounds each-over two pounds per
day. As they were to be sold for
breeders, he found they were fattening
too rapidly, and had to turn them out
into clover pasture to shift for them
selves.

Western experiences as Snowman

his hearers, and when out and about
