Go Yourself.

The Christian man should neither
be content when he goes to worship
to leave others behind, nor should he
be content to drive others before him
and stop behind himself. 1t is said
of Julius Cesar that he owed his vic
tories to the fact that he never said
to his soldiers "Go," but always said,
"Let US CO." That is the way to
win. Example is better than pre-
cept. We read of the Pharisees of
old that they laid burdens on other
mems shoulders, but they themselves
did not touch them with their Tin
gers; true Christians are not so. They
say, 81 will go also"
Was not that bravely spoken Of
poor old Latimer when he was to be
burnt with Ridley? Ridley was a
younger and stronger man, and as he
walked to the stake, old Latimer,
with his quaintness about him to the
last, cried to his brother Ridley,
"Have after as fast as my poor old
legs can carry me-"
The dear old saint was marching to
his burning as fast as he could, not at
all 10th to lay his aged body upon the
altar of the Lord. That is the kind
of raan who makes others into men;
the man who habitually says, 'I will
go also even if / am called to be burn
ed for Christ. Whatever is to be done
or suffered, L will go also. 1 would
be ashamed to stand here, and say to
you, Brethren, pray; brethren labor;
brethren preach, and then be an idler
myself; and you also would be asham-
ed to say to Others, 'Let US pray; let
us be in earnest" while you are not
praying and not in earnest yourselves.
Example is the backbone of Instrue-
ton. Be thyself what thou wouldst
have others be, and do thyself what
thou wouldst have others dO.-Sp1T-

How they XIII Cattle in Texas.

The ordinary plan Of drawing the
steer down to the block and striking
him on the head with an ak Is too
slow for the wholesale butehery car
ried on here. About one dozen head
are driven into small pen, just suf-
ficientIy large to hold that many
closely packed, and 4 gate forced shut
behind them. This pen has an open
slat platform across the top Of it, up
on which two men are stationed with
poles and sharp pointed knives fixed
on the end OF them. With 3 rapidi-
ty acquired by long practice, they
plungs their spears into the neeks OF
the afirighted and struggling animals
cutting the jueular vein. and each
successfully falls as IL struck down
with an ak. The blood spirits out In
streams as II from q dozen fountains,
and In less than q minute the whole
Penful are down quiveriDg In the
throes of death, and covered with
blood. The door OF the pen leading
into the rendering room is then
thrown open, the animals drawn out
and q knife rapidly slits the skin
around the neck and down the sides.
A rope is attached to the upper part Of
the hide by clamp, to the other end
Of which Is 3 mule, which leislrely
walks of down the yard carrying the
skin Of the animal with him, and
leaving the carcass still quivering
with animal life. A tackle hoists the
body up to q level with one Of the i'm
mense eauldOns, and In less time than
we have to describe the process i Is 10
the seething and bOIliDg-mass. There
are four or five Of these cauldrOns,
each large enough to hold . dozen
beeves, and they are kept constantly
going during the killing season. The
tallOw is drawn off into large hogs
heads, and the remains Of these great
soup kettles and carried out on what
Is called the "hash-pile," consisting Of
bones, horns, and the animal matter
from which the fatty substance has
been extracted.-l Baltimore AD1eri-

II is Better.

It is better to wear 8 calico dress
without trimming, IL il be paid for,
then to owe the sbopkeeper for the
most elegant silk, cut and trimmed
in the most beWitehing manner.
1t is better To live in 3 log cabin all
your own than in 3 brown stone man
sion belonging to somebody else.
Better walk forever than to run in
debt for horse and carriage.
Better to sit by the plain white
table for which you paid three dol
lars some years ago, than to send
home q new extension black walnut
top, and promise to pay for it next
week.
Better to use the old eane-seated
chairs, and two PLY carpet, than
trem bic at the bills sent home by up
holsters for the most elegant psrior
suit ever made.
Better to meet your business ac-
quaintanees with a free "dOn't owe
you q cent? smile, than 10 dodge
around the corner 10 escape q dun.
Better to pay the street organgrind-
er two cents for music, II you have It,
than 10 owe for q grand piano.
Better to gaze upon bare walls than
pictures unpaid for.
Better to eat thin soup from earth
ern-wars, II you owe your butcher
nothing, than to dine oil lamb and
roast beef, and know that it does not
belong to you.
Better let your wife have \ nc Of
mysteries than to run 10 debt for nice
new furniture, or clothes, or jewelry,
or ANYTHING that women wish for. A
1T Of mysteries properly managed, Is
often az real benefit TO q woman.

The Beecher Scandal Breaking Out
Again.

The Rev. Leonard Bacon, the pillar
Of New England COngregatiOnaliSm,
has recently been writing In the In
dependent to the effect that Piym-
outh Church Is doing Mr.. Beeeher an
injustice in allowing these charges to
remain unanswered, and, while he
has extO'led Mr.. Beecher for his mag
nanimity Of conduct under such as
PERSONS, he has fiercely denounced
Theodore TiltOn for his agency In set
ting these stories aflOat. Though
everything else has failed In moving
Mr.. TiltOn, these letters have sue
ceeded. Smarting under their fierce
ness and bitterness, he has recently
addressed q letter to the Trustees OF
Plymouth Church, expressing not on
ly his willingness, but also his desire
to answer any summons IS q witness
during the next thirty days. This
letter has caused q very decided sens
alton in the church, for while there
are many who do not hesitate TO stig-
matiZe TiltOn as q vilifier and falsifi-
er, there are also many who have felt
all along that in simple justice to the
private reputation Of Mr.. Beeeher,
and the public reputation Of the
church, this slander should be public
ly investigated, and IL untrue should
be forever set at rest. With regard
to the state OF feeling in the church,
the well-informed New York CORES
pondent OF the Boston Saturday Eve
ming Gazette says: plymouth
Church, outwardly q unit, has much
inner discord. Some day, when least
expected, perhaps, the discOrd and its
cause must be revealed 10 ihe world.
Men well informed are guarded in
their statements. I make no rash
prediction, indulge in no sensational
averments. But unless all signs fail,
the pillars OF Plymouth Church will
at no distant date, be cracking SIS II
from an earthquake, and the fire
from which all the smoke Of the past
two years has risen, and which there
hSs been 50 much effort to stifle, will
leap up in lurid splendOr and consul
ming ferOcity. - Chicago Tri bla7e.

One Hundred and FIIteen Years Old.

The editor Of the Wooster Repu6li-
e0A on recent visit to Lodi, Medina
county, had an interview with = re-
msrkable character living st that
place, who has, it appears, attained
the wonderful age Of lis years. The
Repu6tiedH says:
We were grRtified with having an
Interview with Mr.. ROmer Grifin. a
citizen OF Lodi, who is the oldest man
IN Ohio, IL not In the United States.
he was born in CRANKY, Connecticut.
on the 22d day OF April, 1859, and Is
therefore now oUer one hundred aud
fifteen years Old! About this being
his age there seems TO be no question
The Oldest inhabitants have di,c1Vs
known him, and for many years he
has been their oldest man. He lives
with son who is IS years old, and
with bis third wife, VINO is about 20.
An older son is dead. He Is the faith
er OF 10 children.
Mr.. G. Z. White kindly took Us to
see the old gentleman. We found
him sitting in an arm chair before the
Kitchen stove, for the day was cool.
He responded to our introduction by
H~-AGo1 aoA1k nla AcAb
for his right hand and arm were gone,
having been amputsted years ago By
reason of injuries received while fel-
ling timbeTs in the woods He spoke
few words distinctly, bat we did not
press him to conversation, because he
Is partially deaf, and is much annoyed
and made irritable by iDquisitive
visitors.
He is a small man, probably about
1--we feet, six inches high. We would
not have taken him TO be over eighty.
TO the ordinary observer his son
looks the older. He is well preserved,
not at all withered or shrunken, not
nervous or shlky; but rather chubby,
with q ruddy complexion, round
checked, gray hair, full eyes and lips,
but with that peculiar look about them
denoting great age. He Is feeble and
fretful, being in his dotage, yet his
mind is as clear and his body as Wig
orous as many 3 man 50 years his
Junior. He made his own garden this
spTing-a large One-And attends to it
every day. He says he never had 8
sick day in his life. In religion he is
q Presbyterian, and in his younger
days farmer by occuDatiOn.

Cure for Hog Cholera.

A correspondent at Mulberry Grove
sends us what he recommends as the
best cure for hog cholera known. The
recipe was first published in the
Prairie Farmer some years since.
The quantity given is sufficient for
one hundred hogs, and is mixed with
slOp enough for few doses, say q
pint Of the slop TO the hog each time.
This Is the recipe: Take of sulphur
two pounds; black antimony, one
half pound; arsenic, two ounces. Our
correspondent says he has tried the
above on q lot of fifty hogs, and
cured all that were able to walk to
the trough TO eat the slop. Prof. J.
B. Turner also published the follow
ing preventive in the same paper in
1864, which our correspondent says
he has seen used with perfect satis-
faction: One peck wood ashes, four
pounds salt, one pound each Of black
antimony, copperas aud sulphur,
one-fourth pound saltpetre. Pulver-
iZe and mix, moisten and put in a
trough under shed where the hogs
can have free access to GreeHUille

THAT ROY.

Is the house turned topsy turvy9
Docs it ring from street TO roof?
VIII the racket still continue,
Spite OF all your mild reproOf?
Are you often in a fiutter2
Are yon sometimes filed with joy
Then have my grave suspicious,
That you have at home-that Boy.
Are the walls and tables hammered?
Are your nerves and ink upset?
Have two eyes, so bright and roguiSh,
Made you every care forget?
Have your garden-beds prowler,
Who delights bnt to destroy?
These are well-known Indications
That you have at home-that Boy.
Have you seen him playing circus
With his lead upon the mat,
And his heels in mid-air twlnkling-
For his audience, the cat?
Do you ever stop 10 listen,
When his merry pranks annoy?
Listen TO that voice that whispers,
You were once just like-that Boy.
Have you heard of broken windows,
And with nobody to blame:
Have you seen a trowsered urchin
Quite unconscious of the same?
Do you love teasing mixture
ofPerplexity andJoy3
You may have dozen daughters, .l
But Iknow you've got-that Boy.

bohemian Of Old.

The business of running after news
is not of recent creation. It is as an
cient as the invention of journalism.
The old Bohemian was q Frenckman
called Renandot.
The most eminent runner after
news was named Matthew DOuZelOt,
otherwise called the Pavement Sink
er." In the morning, before leaving
his room, the wide.awake DouZelOt
consulted the skies and q barometer
which adorned his Mansard; then he
took his cane and writing case, say
ing, "Rain some will slip to-day un-
der carriage wheels, and be crushed to
death;n or else, "Stormy weather
we stall have to record some cases of
mental alienation, or of hydropho-
bia;" or finally, "Gloomy! cloudy |!
fine weather for spleen. Let us make
war on suicides"
There was a riot one day on the
Pantheon Place. DOuzelOt sat down
amid hail of stones, pen in hand, to
note down the events. One of his
friends happening to be present, said:
"What are you doing here, sir? Run
fiyW Douzelot, without looking at
him, drew his watch, and continued
to write down minute for minute the
phases and evolutions of the riot.
"Are you not going TO run ?" cried
anew his friend.
''God forbid; but since you are 60
ing yourself, oblige me by handing
this to my journal; you will tell them
that 1 remain oP the spot to send the
continuation"
An hour after the disorder was at
its height; the authorities and insur-
gents had come to blows. The Ma
tional GuaSd fired, and our Bohemian
was struck by ball. A surgeon has
tened to him.
"You are wounded ?" said he.
"Yes," replied DouZelot, "and Sc
verely, too, for can not write"
"Writep' abruptly exclaimed the
surgeon; "think of your wound |"
''Don't be in hurry" replied Dom
zelot. 'IEaeh one to his business;
mine is to regulate events. You will
replace me. Here write at the bottom
this postscript:"
Twenty minutes past s P. MIN
consequence of the discharge of mus
kets by the troops, three men were
wounded and one killed."
"Who is the dead man ?" asked the
surgeon.
Myself" replied Douzelot, aud he
expired.
