The best remedy for the epizootic
is to feed the horse with soft food,
Blanket warmly, bandage his legs
loosely, give him two Or three table
spoonfuls of common ginger in his
feed, morning and night, and keep the

least half u mile of. IF your horse
dies under such treatment send his
bill to us and we-will think it over !!

GODS WAITING.

Grand is the leisure Of the earth
She gives her happy myriads birth,
And after harvest fears not dearth,
But goes to sleep in snow-wreaths dim
Dread is the leisure up above,
The while He sits whose name is Love,
And waits, as Noah did the dove,
70 see if she would fly to him.
He waits for us, while houselesS things,
We beat about with bruised wings
On the dark floods and water springs,
The ruined world, the dcsolated sea
With opened windows from the prime,
All night, all day, He waits sublime,
Until the fullness of the time
Oecreed from His eternity.

Tll@ pIONEER PAPER.

The MESSENGER is designed to supply
the homes of the Sunday School scholars OF
America with family reading of the most use
iuI and interesting sort at the lowest possible
cost. 1t consists OF eight nages Of four col
unns each, and contains Temperance de-
partment, Scientific department, Sanitary
department, and an Agricultural department.
Two pages are given to family reading, two
to tale i'll large type for children, and one to
the Sunday School lessons Of the Intcrnation-
al Series, and children's column. The pa
per is magnliicanty illustrated. There has
been very rapid increase i'll its circulation
during the past year, namely, from $4,000 to
25,OOO, and lhe ratio Of increase rises so rap
idly that the proprietors have sanguine hopes
of doubling the latter figure before the end of
next year. This Increase has been in large
measure the result Of the removal Of the post
barrier between Canada and the United
States. There has been as q result of tins
prosperity, some improvement in the style of
The paper, and it will, o! course, be possible
to introduce more and more improvements as
circulation grows. Most ofthe growth of the
MESSENGER has been by the voluntary
recommendation OF it by friends who have
formed their own opinion Of its worth, and by
the introduction of it into Sunday Schools
Young correspondents say that their Sunday
Schools are more interesting and better at
tended since it has been introduced.

with the WITNESS, we may say that for
twenty-nine years it has labored for the pro-
motion Of evangelical truth, and for the sup.
preston OF the liquor traffic. Our effort is to

NEWSPAPER, unattached to any political
party or religious denomination, seeking on
ly to witness tearlessly for the truth and
against evil doing under all circumstances,
AND TO keep its readers abreast with the
news and the knowledge of the day 1t de-
votes much space to Social, Agricultural and
Sanitary matters, and is especially the paper
for the home circle. 1t is freely embellished
with cngravings.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1876 OF THE
L "NORIlIERN MESSENGER"

What they Eat.

To get some idea of the enormous eat
ing power of guests who reside in
hotels, it is only necessary to say that in
one ordinary days feedings one of the
leading hotels in New York city con-
sumes 1859 pounds of beef, short loins
and ribs, 1,S00 pounds of mutton chops,
nearly A, 900 pounds of spring lamb, so
dozens of sweetbreads and ], 900 pounds
of the hind quarters of veal for roasting
and outlets. The same hotels averaged
40 pounds day of prime corned beef,
or from l, 400 to l 900 pounds of corned
beef per week. Extra beef, which only
includes the four quarters. and excludes
the hides, fat and offal, brings $13 to
$14a hundred weight at the yards The
best comes from Illinois, and it is supe-
rior to the beef raised in any other State
in the Union. Many butchers will, how
ever, tell their customers that the beef
which comes from Texas is native to IL
llnois. Ohio sends fair quality of beef.
But If 1T were not for the vast quantities
brought from Texas to the city beef
would bring fifty cents pound in the
market steadily. Dutchess county and
Orange county occasionally send some
fancy beef to private parties, but it is
only drop in the ocean. Some meat is
hardly fit to eat when brought to market,
and one morning at Washington market
Superintendent Devoe seized no less
than 357 quarters of bob veal, which
were almost in a state of putrefaction.
This shows the danger formerly encoun-
tered by housewives who Were fond of
roast veal or nice little outlets. The
worst kind of beef brings at the yards SO
hundred weight, and Texan beef brings
about $3.50 hundred when it is in good
condition. About $50 goats and kids
are brought to market every year in this
city, and they will average As pounds a
carcass dressed, but their meat is never
in any great demand, and is only eaten
by people whose palates are in an ex-
hausted state. Sixty roasting pigs are
sold weekly Oh On average and weigh
from Is to 20 pounds each. The con
sumption of hams in the city amounts to
from s, 900 to $500 hams per week, and
they chiefly come from the Western
States. Of tame turkeys, ducks of all
kinds, geese and guinea fowls there are
delivered to the New York markets about
], 800 tons a week, and their price varies
according to season, but they are at the
maximum rates about the holidays

Wanted to Pay Taxes.

One day q resident of the northern
part of Detroit, says the Free Press,
called at the city hall, and finding the
official who received taxes, he said:
81 called here to pay some taxes.
How much shall pay 2"
" Where's your property9" asked the
official.
Haven't got any,"
"And what are you going to pay taxes
on ?"
81 dunno, but I want to pay 'em.
I've had it flung up to me a dozen times
that hain't no taxpayer and hain't no
business talking around, and now want
to pay in whatever is right and be as
good as anybody"
But you are not taxed"
"Why hain't L? Amt I as good as
anybody2'
eyes, bnt you can't be taxed when
you have no taxable property"
81 can't, eh2 Well, there are other
towns besides Detroit, and if can't feel
as good as anybody else here can pack
up and leave"
And he put up his wallet and went

III Not, Why Not !

A medical journal published in Cleve-
land addresses the following queer query
to the profession:
"QUERY-Has any physician ever seen or
treated bald-headed consumptive?'
We should say that there must be. and
that there must have been, bald-headed
consumptives yet the fact that doubt
is thrown over the existence of such
persons by a medical journal would seem
to show that they are not go common as
to be within the knowledge of every
physician. We ourselves have not, of
course, seen as many sufferers from the
malady in question as have come under
the observation of some doctors; but
we cannot at this moment think of any
one of those we have seen who was bald
headed. Consumption is disease that
preys upon old people as well as young
and middle-aged people; and we suppose
its victims are subject to the ordinary
laws that regulate the growth of hair. If
not, why not

New York lIatS.

We do not mean the flats who stand
about hotels and street corners with
their hair parted in the middle, but
those large buildings, each floor of which
constitutes dwelling house. OF these
flats writer says: No flat that is of any
dimensions or surroundings above a
brown stone tenement-house can be had
short of 81 ZOO a year, or $50 month.
Indeed, nine-tenths of these flats are
tenement-houses called by less injuri-
ous name. 1t is q good way for lazy
women and people with small furniture
to affect to live. It is better than board
ing, in that you eat your own hash. 1t
is purgatory, between the heaven of
householding and the tophet of dys-
peptic's public table. 1t is device to
make unrentable houses rentable by
farming ont the floors and putting in
wash-tubs.

Shade Trees.

Many farmers now see how much they
have missed it by permitting the whole
sale destruction of forest trees upon
their lands. From the nakedness of the
country, droughts are becoming COM
mon. From the scarcity of timber trees,
the cost of fencing and erecting build
ings is annually increasing. But there
is one way whereby amends may partly
be made. Let there be one united plan
to have rows of beautiful and useful
trees set out OH both sides of all our
public highways. Let sugar trees, wal
nut trees, oak trees, chestnut trees, To-
Gust trees, catalpa trees, silver-leafed
poplar trees, etc., stretch their long ave.
nues in every direction all over the coun-
try. How it would relieve the naked
ness of tho land What grateful shade
they would give to the weary traveller
The value of farms would become al
most Immediately enhanced as soon as
these rows of beautiful trees were plant
ed out. And in the distant future,
when those trees should arrive at matu-
rity of growth, the value of the timber
itself would become most important
item. Let grangers and others take hold
of this matter.

CRUELTY.-Some Prussian army Off
GERS are under arrest for cruelty to a
soldier. They compelled him to 20
through with exhausting drills, and when
he complained of sickness, they added
increased tasks as punishment for
"shamming." He died at last, and then
it was found that he had been suffering
from brain disease. The case reminds
one of that of Connolly, the Blackwell's
island convict, who was tortured by the
keepers.

Missouri, the other day It gladdened
my heart as I drove to these grounds to
see the number of saddles on the
horses hitched along tile way. I had al

countrywomen had lost the art of riding,
Mt least the art of riding on horseback.
Thank you, ladies, for coming on side
