summer. The majority of farmers do not
put forth that decided effort to make the
most of the manure supply within their
precincts as they might. One needs TO
keep his eyes open for these things as
well as for the main chances in a good
trade. How many farmers have made
particular arrangements for SAVING all the
liquid manure from their stable. By pro-
viding an ample supply of bedding for

great deal better than nothing. for its

some heavy lands it will be found bene-

The HENRY +. MILLER PIANO FORTEs.-
The instruments hom this establishment
are rapidly coming into public notice
and favor. and already occupy a foremost
position among Hrst-class pianos.
Mr.. Miller is himself practical mechan-
ic, and thorough musician, and the su-
periority which these pianos have over 9TH
ers, is owing in large measure to the
careful supervision which each instru-
ment receives from the manufacturer be-
tore 1t is allowed to leave his establish
ment. The award Of the contract to fur-
nish the public schools of Boston with
pianos must be very gratifying TO Mr..
Miller, and is u testimony Of the musical
public to the high position which these
instruments occupy. The serere test that
they have received at the New England
Conservatory OF Music. and at many 9TH
er public Institutions where they are in
constant daily use, Is gu&-antee of their
many excellent qualities, and especially of
their durability. They arc wed and rec
commanded by uost Of the leading must
ians Of Boston.

North Knowing.

Every little while we read in the pa
pers of some one who has stuck nail
into his foot. or knee, Or hand, or some
other portion Of his person, and that
luckjaw had resulted therefrom, of
which the patient died. If every per-
son in the world was aware of per-
feet remedy for all such wounds, aud
would apply it, then such reports must
cease. But although we can give the
remedy, we cannot enforce the appli-
cation. Some will not employ it be-
cause they think it too simple; others
have no faith in it when they read it,
and soon forget it, while others often
think such wound of small account,
and not worth fussing over, until it is
too late TO DO any good. Yet all such
wounds can be healed without such ia
tai consequences as often follow them.
The remedy is simple, almost at hand,
and can be supplied by any one, and
what is better it is infailible. 1t is
simply to smoke such wound, or any
bruise that is iudamed, with burning
wool or wooden cloth. Twenty min
utes in the smoke Of woolIwill take the
pain out of the wound, and repeated
once or twice, it will allay the worst
case of Inflammation we ever saw.
People may sneer at this "old woman s
remedy" as they please, but when they
are afflicted, just let them try it, 1t
has saved many lives and much pain,
and is worthy Of being printed in let
tiers of gold and put up in every home.

A Soft Answer.

The husband was of quick temper
and often inconsiderate. They had
been married year, when one day. in
a fit of temporary wrath, he said to his
wife:
Il want no correction from you. II
you are not satisfied with my conduct,
you can return to your home whence /
took you and find happiness with your
kind" "
If leave you" returned the IN
happy wife, will you give me back
that which | brought to your .
Every dollar. / covet not your
wealth, you shall have it all back"
"Ahl" she answered, Il mean not
the wealth of gold. | thought not OF
dross.o | mean my maiden heart-my
first aud only love-my buoyant hopes
and the promised blessings of mywo-
manhood. Can you give these to me p
2 A moment of thought-of couvul-
-ion--and then taking her to his arms /:
mo, no, my wife | can not do that,
but will do more | will keep them
henceforth pnsu.lied and unpained.
[ cherish your blessings as my own
and never again, God helping me, will
| forget the pledge ! gave at the holy
altar, when you gave your peace and
happiness to my keeping"
How true it is that a soft answer
turneth away wrath and how many,
oh, how many of the bitter strifes of
domestic life might be avoided by re-
Numbering and acting in accordance
Herewith.

All explosions of coal oil lamps are
caused by the vapor or gas that col
lects in the space above the oil. When
full of oil of course a lamp contains
no gas, but Immediately on lighting
the lamp consumption of oil begins,
soon leaving space for gas, which
commences to form as the lamp warns
up, and after burning short time suf-
fieient gas will accumulate to form an
explosion. The gas in lamp win ex-
plode only when ignited. In this res
pect it is like gunpowder. Cheap or
Inferior oil is always the most danger
Gus. The fame is communicates to
the gas in the following manner: The
wick tube in all lamp burners is made
larger than the wick which is to pass
through it, 1t would not do to have
the wick work tightly in the burner;
on the contrary, it is essential that it
move up and down with perfect ease
In this way it is unavoidable that
space in the tube is left along the sides
of the wick sufficient for the fame
from the burner 10 pass down into the
lamp and explode the gas. Many
things may occur to cause the fame to
pass down the wick-tube and explode
the lamp.
First-A lamp may be standing on
table or mantel, ind a slight puff of
air from the open window, or the sud
den opening of door. causes an ex-
plosion.
Second-A lamp may be taken up
nuicklv from table or<kna mile and in
s,antly explode
Third-A lamp is taken into an en-
try where there is draft, or out of
doors, aud an explosion ensues.
Fourth-A lighted lamp is taken
up a fight of stairs, or is raised quick
ly to place it on the nantel, resulting
in an explosion. In all thse cases the
mischief IS done blythe air movement;
either by suddenly checking the draft,
or forcing air down the chimney against
the flame. rfga
Fifth-Blowing down the chimney
toextinguish the light is frequent
cause OF explosion. #
Sixth-Lamp explosions have been
caused by using chimney broken off
at the top. or one that has piece
broken out, whereby the draft is rem
dered variable and the fame unsteady.
Seventh-Sometimes a thoughtless
person puts small-sized wick in a
large burner, thus leaving considera.
bic space in the tube along the edges
of the wick.
Fighth-An old burnerewi its air
drafts eloggcd up, which, rightfully
should be thrown away. is sometimes
continued in use. and the final result
is an explosion. fl.g,s asdR

SWEET AND BITTER MEMORIES

About six years ago, there walkee
into my law Office in the city of c.,
and cid, old man, who stumbled and
tottered TO chair when asked to seat
himself. His hair had whitened for
the grave, and fell in wavy locks over
his bending shoulders. Ills eyes were
dim, aud shot forth no bright flame Of
intelligence. | was writing when he
came in, and told him to seat himself:
when finished, | would talk with him
/ was troubled. A favorite sister
was sinking gradually every day to
rest in the grave of her fathers. / was
writing TO an absent brother at school :
ri" Come, for sister is dying. In the
coming ten days, she will sweetly sleep
IN Jesus. and the birds will sing over
her grave. Tears dropped on tie
page AS these words were written.
When the sad letter was finished and
folded and developed. ] said to my old
friend: r--s ....s ...
Excuse me for OBTAINING you 50

ter. What can be done for yoR?n
The old man sat silently gassna al
the law books on the shelves in the
room, needless as if. he heard not my
words. | watched his face anxiously,
attracted by the evidences of emotion
which fitfully played over his counter
ance. | had no heart then to talk to
clients. The words of sister:
Brother, do You hear the little child

Miss IL. p

song will be heard in brighter world

OH who could attend TO business
with these words and these thoughts
uppermost in his mind? But there sat
this poor old fellow. with his eyes still
fixed upon the books In the shelves,
and his face seemed to speak, while his
tongue was still silent.
"Well, what do you want, myfriend?''
