The Objects OF Life.

The mass Of mankind evidently mistake
the great objects to which lie here should
be devoted and by which it should be gov
erned. Whether the intense selfshness
which actuates the greatest Humbers, arises
in part from the religious systems of the
world, is problem to be solved. We see
with pain the better part Of our natures are
made to subserve the baser. The noble,
philanthropic, humanitarian elements which
should control our &C ions are too often made
secondary TO sordidness, selfshness and
baseness.
Self elf-aggIandizement, the promotion of
private ends, the advancement of family
interests, and the accumulation of wealth
by foul or fair means, are too much the
ruling principles of the age. The world
has mistaken the true source of happiness !;
it consists not in studying selfish objects
and accomplishing private ends. Ii arises
not solely in seeking to benefit sef, and
those closely allied to us, by smassing
wealth, with which to outshine our neigh
bors and those less able to accumulate gold.
Glitter and tinsel, diamonds and pearls
even, do not bring happiness, and are not
the objects that should direct our efforts.
True happiness is found in self-abnega
ton. 1t is promoted more by seeking the
common welfare Of humanity than in forcing
our impulses and efforts in narrow and sell
fish channels. The world Of mankind are
our brothers and sisters, and our highest
duty lays in the direction of those by whom
we are surrounded. The greatest heart.
and the happiest are those which are expan-
sive enough to embrace the welfare and
happiness of their fellows.

HUMOROUS.

RELATED TO THE JUDGE.-JudRe B,
late one of the judges of the Eighth
District of the State of New York, was
q most amiable man, whose honor was
unsullied, and who hated mean action
as every such character must. At the
Genesee Circuit he was hearing an
action in which one of the parties hap
pened to be a namesake of his. During
the trial. the party, having an oppor-
tunity, and thinking probably to gain
some advantage by it, approached the
judge and said /:
"We are of the same name, Judge.
I've been making inquiries, and find we
are some relation to each other"
"Ah !" said the judge, sis that SO ?
Are you sure of it 2"
"Oh yes" said he, ''no doubt of it. 3"
"Well," said the judge, "I'm very
glad to hear that-very glad indeed.
l shall get rid of your case L shall
dismiss it, because / cannot sit in q
suit where 1 am related to one of the
parties"
This was little more than the party
had bargained for. and he began at
once to paddle off. After a few in
quiries as to the judges ancestry, and
their residence, etc.
81 think. judge" said he, 81 was
mistaken. We are of quite different
families, and not at all related"
"Ah - says the judge, sis that so ?"
''Oh yes" said he, "there is no mis-
take about it.
well, replied the judge, in a very
emphatic tone, 'I'm glad to learn that
very glad. L should hate awfully to
be related to a man mean enough to
attempt to influence a court as you
have l'-Bench and Bar.

ARTIFICIAL EBoNY.-This material is
made of sawdust mixed with other SUBJ
stances and powerfully compressed in
molds. The following is the process of
manufacture. as now largely carried on
by Messrs. Latry & Co., of Paris: The
sswdust, reduced to a fine powder, is
mingled with a suitable quantity of
water and blood, and dried at about
1I2o Fab. The albunen of the blood
is thus agglomerated with the powder.
The compound is then packed in heated
molds, into all the crevices of which it
is forced by strong hydraulic pressure.

The difference of temperature between
country and city has been Investigated
by Fines, who discovers that the mean
annual temperature in the interior of a
city is decidedly higher than that out
side. On the other hand, the maxi
mum temperatures in the fall and winter
are somewhat lower in the city, while
in the spring and summer they are
somewhat higher. On clear nights the
difference between the minimum tenn
peratres in the city and the country
may amount to 49, degrees Fahrenheit,
that in the country being the lower of
the two. Also, the annual average diff
ference between the maxima and the
minima is greater for the country than
the CITY,

FISH AS MAKERS OF OxYGEN.-Dr.
Moreau has recently investigated the
facts indicated by Blot, from which it
appears that the gas contained in the
natatory vessels of fish is nearly pure
oxygen. DR.. Moreau has verified this,
and has also discovered that, when
other gases are found in the vessel, such
as nitrogen, their presence is due to
accessory causes. In order to prove
this view, he examines fishes which had
existed for long time in shallow water.
These, after determining by many
analyses the quantity of oxygen which
they had secreted to be about Is per
cent of the vesical gas, he plunged into
water Of depth of some % feet. Sub
mitted under these new conditions to a
much higher pressure than before, the
fish, to counterbalance the same, aug
mented the quantity of gas contained
in the natatOry vessel. Analysis of the
gas then showed an increase In oxygen
to % per cent, showing that the cause
of the augmentation was clearly Sc
cretion of that gas in pure state.

To Fry CHICKEN. The best fried
chickens are thus prepared: The
chickens are killed. scalded, picked and
washed out cleanly in water, then
quartered and thrown into boiling lard.
In few minutes they are done brown,
and are then to be removed and served
up hot and dry, not put into grease
again. In this way the fowl is ''tender
as chicken" and is great delicacy. If
you don't believe it. try it, and if you
do believe it, try it.

be lined with mashed potatoes, the
mutton nicely minced and properly
seasoned, placed in the dish little
stock added, and then covered over
with mashed potatoes, roughed with a
fork, and place before the fire, till the
little dish assumes the appearance of a

lowed to simmer and not to boil.

DRAWING AS AN EDUCAToR.-ln refer
ring to the usefulness of the art of
drawing, in education, the Illustrated
London Nclrs says 1.-The school
board have taken an important and,
we think, very wise step by resolving
to introduce the elementary teaching
of drawing into the schools. The
teaching of drawing confers, as it were,
a new sense; 1t develops perceptions
which reading and other branches of
education can never reach. To say
nothing of the increased pleasure 1t
affords through life, so long as the
power OF sight endures, it trains pre-
cisely those faculties which are most
regarded in nearly all mechanical occu-
pations, and it forms, therefore, the
basis of most technical education.
There are few mechanics who would
not be benefited in their work by a
knowledge of drawing while here and
there the proposed teaching may stimu-
late genius that might otherwise remain
dormant. The system of teaching
adopted in the German kinderqarten
has been recommended and the sugges-
tlon deserves consideration.

IT Is SAID that hens can be taught to
eat potato bugs by sprinkling corn in
the potato patch, and by gathering the
bugs and feeding them to the hens,
mixed with tie corn. When they once
learn to eat them, ifyour potato patch
is accessible to them, all further trouble
with the bugs is at the end. We know
of several farmers whose hens you
could not purchase at any price on ac-
count of their fondness for potato bugs.

A VERY simple and at the same time
profitable contrivance for getting rid of
the noxiOus gases of sewers, is thus
described in the Bristol Times Con-
nected with the main sewer is a pipe
two inches in diameter, and at the top
of the pipe is a ball, so fixed that it
allows an aperture of quarter of an
inch all around, through which the
sewer gas may escape from the pipe.
Running up outside of the large pipe is
an ordinary gas pipe, and just under
meath the ball at the top of the sewer
pipe a set of burners is so arranged
that when lighted they make a COM
plete circle of fire. The ball prevents
the sewer gas from rising through the
center, and it cannot escape through
the flame, which entirely surrounds the
aperture. The consequence is that the
sewer gas mingles with the ordinary
gas. and is consumed, adding. it is
said, greatly to the brilliancy of the
flame. The invention may be easily
applied to the public lamps, and We
are informed that a one-inch pipe may
be used, and that the increase in the
Illuminating power that would be thus
gained is enormous. Another advan-
tage is that the ball and the upper part
of the pipe quickly get intensely hot,
and the heat draws the foul air from
the sewers, leaving them perfectly free.

KIDNEY WORMS IN SwISE.-Kidney
worm is not a common disease in hogs.
Occasionally one or two in a number of
hogs suffer from the presence of one or
more worms in the kidneys; but the
ailment is not often fatal, and becomes
so only after long time of suffering
and consequent disease or degeneration
of one or both kidneys. In a strong
pig two drains of turpentine may be
given in four ounces of hnseed oil and
a little Cruel. Great care should be ex-
ercised in not killing the pig by drench-
ing it improperly. Besides this the
pigs should have sour food, or a little
brine of herrings mixed in the food.
When in season, sauerkrout, radishes,
unripe fruit, cucumbers, celery tops,
and especially acorns. Wood ashes
should occasionally be mixed in the
food. Hogs should have access to
clean and fresh drinking water.
