Mutton VS.. Pork.

There is a strange prejudice among
the people of this country against NUT
ton as an article of food. We are able
to account for this state of feeling
only upon the assumption that it re-
suits from the absence of habit. We
all know that taste, TO very large de-
gree, depends upon use; and we know
also that pork, in some form, has been
the great staple upon the farmers ia
BILE; and that mntton has found its
way there only occasionally, and often
then only of very inferior quality,
and in such condition as to impart
strong sleepy flavor to the meat.
The sheep and the lamb are among
the most beautiful, and, at the same
time, the most cleanly of animals
while all physicians agrees in recon-
mending the use of mutton or lamb as
among the most healthful of all the
animal foods. large proportion of
the tillers of the soil drag out misera-
BILE days, simply because they persist
in eating salt pork, salt hams and
shoulders, in spring and summer when
a good dish of mutton would give
them new life and strength. Salt
meats Of every kind, and especially
salt pork, is very hard of digestion,
and affords only very small amount
Of nutriment. When eaten by those
of weakened digestion, it often be-
comes an actual injury to the system,
by disturbing the stomach, and pre-
venting the healthful action of the di-
gestive organs.
A pound of good, tender, juicy NUT
ton can be produced for half the cost
of the same quantity of fatpork; and
one pound of good mutton will i'm
part to the system about rs much nu
triment as two pounds Of pork. The
Botswold is large, fine mutton sheep
and would shear from ten to sixteen
pounds of wool, the carcass often
weighs overItwo hundred pounds at
two years old, and makes sweet, juicy,
nutrious meat. The South Down for
both mutton and fleece, are fully equal
to any other breed. They do not
shear quite as heavy fleece, nor make
so heavy carcass as the Cotswold,
but both fleece and carcass are worth
more per pound, and are ready for the
butcher at any time from three months
to five years of age The Leicesters
are also very fine, heavy mutton sheep
and put on flesh very fast When a
sheep is butchered, the poorer parts
may be used fresh, the better parts
slightly salted. like beef, and the hams
smoked, which is equal to fine veni-
son. BY smoking this portion, most
families can dispose of their fore
quarters in an economical manner

Tobacco Juice.


Considerable admiration has been
expressed for the fact that at Hemp
stead, Long Island, the Methodist
Church sued and recovered eight dol
lars from a man who def1led the floor
of the meeting house by expectora-
tions Of tobacco. We like that move
ment of the Methodists for clean
floors but how much grander the cru
sads if we could also clean the mouths
of the people of this loathsome stuff
We never want to hear man lecture
about the evils of rum if his breath
smells of tobacco. We think it incon-
sistent for minister of the Gospel to
preach of purity when he has from
day to day to balance himself cautious
ly lest there be from his lips an over
flow of yellow slobber. The time was
when it was thought a concomitant of
orthodoxy for q minister to use the
Virginia weed. The times of such
ignorance God winked at; but now he
commandeth all tobacco smokers and
spitters to repent. We see by the sub
scription roll of the Christian at Work
that we are getting an unparalleled
number of clergymen's names as our
patroHizers, and we greet all these
brethren with the following advice !:
Go out into the field or back yard,
take the cud of tobacco out of your
mouth and throw the wad under the
fence, and get your dog or cat to
scratch something over the excre-
ment and bury it out Of sight forever
Let all Christian reformers know
that there is something in tobacco
that seems to excite thirst for strong
drink Multidutes of men have got
into the beer shop through the tunnel
of their own pipe. We know OF many
young men who seemed to be reform
ed from the habits of intoxication,
who went back first to tobacco and
then to the wine flask Get a new
tooth brush, have some fresh water
brought from the spring, and for one
hour submit gum and tongue and roof
{ of mouth to securing and ablution. =
. IL you think that your wife or sister
would not know you with such pure
breath, chew little garlic or assafeti-
da so as to make the improvement
more gradual, and then at last come
out a regenerated man, having not
only clean soul but pure body

Hannr Accidents.

The cracking of q picture p laced IN
the sunshine set Van Eyck expert
menting to produce a varnlsh that
vould drv in the shade He found
what he sought, and found besides
that nv mixing it with his colors they
ocCnirad Greater force and brilliancy,
and required no subsequent varnish-
inc; and so came about the dis covery
ar rediscovery of the art of painting
in oil. Mezzotint owed its invention
by Prince Rupert to the simple acci-
dent of a sentry's gun barrel being
rusted by the dew. Henry Schanward
a Nuremberg glass cutter, happened
to let some aquafortis fall upon his
spectacles, and noticed the glass was
corroded and softened where the aqua
fortIs had touched it. Taking the hint
he made a liquid accordingly, drew
some figures upon a piece of glass, COW
cred them with varnish, and applied
his corroding fluid, which cut away
the glass around his drawing, so that
when he removed the varni sh the fig
ures appeared raised upon a dark
ground; and etching upon glass was
added to the ornamental arts.
AlOls Senfelder, playwright and act
or thinking it possible to etch upon
stone in lieu of copper, polished slab
for the purpose. He was disturbed by
his mother coming into his small lab
ratory with request that he would
jot down her list of things for the
wash, as the woman was waiting to
take the basket away. There being
neither paper nor ink handy, Senefel
der scribbled the items on his stone
with etching preparation, that he NIGH
copy them at his leisure. Some time
afterward, when about to clean the
stone, he thought he might as well SEE
what would be the effects of biting the
stone with aquafortis, and in few
minutes saw the writing standing ou
in relief. Taking up pelt ball charg
ed with printing ink, he linked the
stone, took off few impressions upoI
paper, and he had invented lithography
A pelt ball used by Senefelder wa'
indispensable in printing office. A
Salopian printer, in hurry to get OF
with job, could not find his ball, anC
linked the form with a piece of sof
glue that had fallen out of the gluepot
| with such excellent results that he
thenceforth discarded the pelt ballal to
gether, and by adding teracle to glue
to keep it from hardening, hit upor
the composition OF which printers
rollers have ever since been made.
