The ROAD TO Health.

Cleanse the stomach, bowels and blood from
all the aclid, corrupt and offensive aceumula-
tions which produce functional arrangement,
and you remove the lcause of most diseases
which aftilct the human family, and thus save
large doctors bills. The most effectual and
reliable remedy for this purpose is found in
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets. No
cheap wood or paperboxes, but kept fresh and
reliable IN walls.
High livers, those indulging in. ease and
pleasure, and those of sedentary habits, can
prevent boils, carbuncles, govt, red skin,
eruptions, pimples, constipation, piles, drows-
mess, biliousness, and. other conditions in
duced by such habits, by taking from four to
six of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgatiye Pellets
once q week, or, better still, one or two each
night. They are sold BY dealers in medicines.

Texas Emigration

Has been greater this year than ever, owing
in a great measure to a liberal scheme inaugu-
rated by Col. j.. Z. Foster, of Houston, Texas,
to induce emigrants to settle in that State.
The Houston Age has this to say of Col. Fos-
ter: ga s.
He is a gentleman of as fair reputation
for honor, integrity, business capacity and re-
liability as any in our city. His character for
uprightness and fdeIity is exceptionally good,
and he has the confidence of cur entire COM
munity. He is sustained by, and associated
with, the very best men in Houston in bis plan
for the sale and distribation of his Real Es-
tate, in which, by the way, he has long, beer
one of Cur most successful dealears. His
whole plan is fair, honest and based upon actual
market; value. Not only as an editor, but as a
man, We endorse Col. Foster for all we have
said of him in every respect"

ilEas CholerR,

An Indiana farmer informs us that
four years ago his neighbors lost a por-
tien of their hogs by cholera, while his
own drove remained in perfect health.
He attributes his own escape from loss
to the fact that in the spring he had
burned owe q piece of meadow land
on which his hogs were pastured dur
ing the summer. This, of course, gave
to his hogs q plentiful supply of char
coal and Observation-Disclosures for which
hogs seem to have q craving. The hogs
which died, SO far as he could learn,
had no access to anything of the kind.
Since that experience he has always
kept charcoal and ashes where his hogs
could so to them whenever they de-
sired, and he has never been troubled
with cholera. We have frequently rec
commended ashes as a cure for the
cholera, and it may be used with equally
good success as a preventive. Our
readers should bear in mind that it is
much easier to prevent the introduction
Of the cholera than it is TO cure, and
pay the losses which occur before the
nature Of the disease is learneI.-RurG1

winter Hlulchirg Pasture Land with
Stable Manure
IN case it is desirable to apply the
manure from the stables on land de-
signed to be pastured the following
season. have adopted a course which I
shall describe, with great satisfaction.
The annual weeds are many of them
earlier than the grasses, and if they are
allowed, by keeping of the stock until
a late turning-out season, to grow and
set for seeding, and are then moved
are allowed to remain on the
ground as mulch, the grass, though
some Of lit may have been cropped off
ID cutting the weeds, will outgroW the
weeds, and its growth being promoted
By the mulch, both that applied from
the stables and chat from the movn
weeds, viii develop astonishingly, and
the yield Of pasturage viii be very sat
i~sfactoly. Manure applied in this way,
on land to be pastured a year or more
before it is TO be turned in, will be
found vastly more profitable than that
turned in the first spring after il has
been applied.-Cor. ND. Faraner.

Keep Rut one Breed.

There Is hardly an enthusiast on the
subject Of poultry who does not at first
endeavor to keep several varieties. He
visits an exhibition, or the yards of
some extensive dealer, md admiring
various breeds. purchases some OF each,
without considering whether he has 40
comulodations enoughtfor all, andunder-
estimating the amount Of time required
to manage them perfectly. We would
say to all beginners, do not attempt to
keep more than n breed, unless you
have plenty u time TO spend. and in
addition, inexhaustible patience, and
that tact possessed by the born natural
list, that is. by one who has an in
grained fondness for animals. The IL
terest ID thoroughbred fowls Is so
great and increasing that thousands Of
novices set ont every yaar in the pur-
suit Of rearing them. There is little
satisfaction, however, ii the long run,
III keeping fowls, unless they are well
managed. Keep only 4 variety, there
fore. IN order to succeed as an amateur.

Boys of spirit, boys Of viii,
Boys of muscle, brain, and power,
Fit 10 cope with anything
These are wanted every hour.
Not the weak and whining drones,
That all trouble magnify
Not the watchword Of az can't"
But the nobler one, "IIl try"
Do what'er you have to do
With q true and earnest zeal;
Bend your sinews to the task
Put your shoulders to the wheel.
Though your duty may be hard,
Look not on it as an i'll;
If 1t be an honest task,
Do it with an honest will.
At the anvil or the farm,
Whatsoever you may be-
From your future efforts, boys,
Comes a nations destiny.
