CATTLE as MACHINES /.

The fact that stock which is not
prospecting is just machinery for
the destruction of farm produce,
ought to startle many man who
reads this. Let him remember, too,
that all live stock are machines for
destroying a certain portion of feed,
daily, which is as directly daily
wasted and burned up in every ami
NAL that feeds, as if it had been put
on to the fire. How much greater
the premium, then, on keeping cat
tie, whose fattening is done in a
life time of 700 days, than on keep
ing those whose fattening requires
1900 days or more. The wedding
of the flock and herd upon farm is
a part of live stock management
which needs as much promptitude
and decision as the wedding iof our
crops and ields.--English Gazette.
1t is rare that we find so much of
weighty truth in SO short para
graph as the above. Both animals
and plants are large consumers, and
often with no profit to the owner
How few know when force is wasted
on farm. The entire mechanism of
the heavens is moved by force of
which solar light and heat, seen and
felt on every plantation, are mans
festations. The energy of nature
must be directed to mans advantage;
and he should weed and cultivate his
animals quite as carefully as the
plants from which he derives the
greatest benefits.

CURIoSITIEs OF LIFE.

Lay your finger on your pulse,
and know that at every stroke some
mortal passes to his Maker; some
fellow being crosses the river of
death; and if we think of it, we
may we'll wonder that it should be so
long before our turn comes.
Half of all who live die before
seventeen.
Only one person in ten thousand
lives to be hundred years old, and
but one in a hundred reaches sixty.
The married live longer than the
single.
There is one soldier to every eight
persons, and out of every thousand
born only ninety-fvc weddings takes
place.
If you take a thousand persons
who have reached seventy years,
there are of clergymen, orators, and
public speakers, forty three i; farms
ers, forty workmen, thirty three
soldiers, thirty two; lawyers, twen'

doctors, twenty four.

SMALL MEANS.

The power of money is on the
whole over estimated. The greatest
things which have been for the
world have not been accomplished
by rich men, or by subscription
lists, but by men generally of small
pecuniary means. The greater
thinkers, discoveries, inventors, and
artists have been men of moderate
wealth, many of them little raised
above the condition of manual labor
ers, in point of worldly circumstan-
ces. And it will always be So
Riches are oftener an impediment
than a stimulus to action and in
many cases they are quite as much
a misfortune as blessing. The
youth who inherits wealth. is apt to
have life made too easy for him, and
he soon grows stated with it, because
he has nothing left to desire. Hav-
ing no special object to struggle for,
he finds time heavy on his hands !;
remains mentally and morally asleep;
and his position in society is often
no higher than that of polypus
over which the tide floats.

MONEY IN A HOLLOW TREE.

A month ago, perhaps, man by
the name of Jetfries, in company
with his family was out in the woods
hunting nuts, at Palmyra, Missouri,
when one of the girls saw something
that attracted her attention in hol
low tree, and called to her mother to
come and look at it. Mrs. Jeffries
made some examination, and soon
found it to be an old paint key. Up
on taking it out, there was found
within it an earthen jar containing
$3.50 in gold and silver. They did
not know what to do about it, but
concluded to keep quiet and wait for
developments. However, some of
the children mentioned it at school,
and thence it came to the ears OF
Isaac and Jacob johnson, who came
at once to see Jeffries, and soon con-
vinced him that the treasure belong
ed to them and that they had hid it
there the day before Porter's raid in
to Palmyra in 1862. After hiding
it they did not 60 to look for it for
some time and when they did they
were unable to find the place of its
concealment, nor had they ever been
able to find it since. The keg had
been pushed up into the hollow of the
tree aud propped up by stick,
which, in the course of the fourteen
years since elapsed, rotted off and
let the treasure down, and thus it
was found by accident. The John
sons made a present of $50 to the
little girl who found it, and who will
say it was not cheap enough.

AN EMBARRASSING BOY.

At season of the year when the
boys are out of school, they are tax
ing their wits to the utmost tension
to find something to do to procure
pocket-mouey, if not to assist their
parents. One of the happiest and
mcst original devices for this end
that it has been my chance to hear
of, is that of a lad who invaded
Brooklyn, and, noticing the unusual
number of kerosene lamps in use in
that city, he solicited the job of TAX
ing care of the same for several store
keepers. His price was modest
ten cents per week for each lamp
for which sum he agreed to trim and
keep clean the lamp, brush out the
chimney, etc. His success surprised
him. He soon had fifty lamps to
look after, and then his work in>
creased so that he engaged an ass
sistant, paying him a stated salary,
and he as "boss," took the orders.
This young man has the care of sew
eral hundred lamps on Fulton street
alone. His weekly income and profit
amounts to twenty-five dollars, which
is far better than running errands or
tending stores, as many lads do in
the city for pittance of two or three
dollars a week.

AN ARIsT0CRACY. The Washing
ton Sunday Herald says that since
the war it has become doubtful
whether our government has not
really been transformed into a self
perpetuating aristocracy of office
holders. There are abundant evil
dences of desire among the chiefs
of that class so to have it, but it is
not reasonable to suppose that the
people are So Indifferent to the well
fare Of their institutions as to toler-
ate it.

Don't sCoLD for the sake of
your children don't do it. 1t is a
misfortune to have children reared
in the presence and under the in
Auence of a scold. The effect of
the everlasting complaining and
fault finding of such persons is to
make the young who hear it unam-
liable, malicious, callous hearted, and
they often learn to take pleasure in
doing the very things for which they
receive such tongue lashings. AS
they are always getting the blame of
wrong doing, whether they do it or
not, they think they might as well
do wrong as right. They lose all
ambition to strive for the favorable
opinion of the fault finder, since they
see they always strive in vain
Thus is a scold not only nuisance,
but a destroyer of the morals of
children. If these unloved. dread>
ed people could only see themselves
as others see them, they would fee
to the mountains in very shame.

If Gen. Grant is not addicted to
lying, the army officers he employs
to do his dirty work in South Caro-
lima, are set of fools. After Phil
Sheridan had tumbled the legal
members of the Louisiana House of
Representatives out of their hall,
Grant said that Sheridan had miss
construed his orders, but not being a
lawyer, he was not expected to
know what he was doing. Now
Grant says he never instructed Ru-
ger to occupy the South Carolina
State House with troops, but that
was the way Ruger understood the
order. Are Grant and Sheridan
and Ruger trio of asses who are
unable to understand each other =
No. ALI three of them have been
lying; they know what they are do
ing, and they understand each other
perfectly.

A CLERK.

Who is the clerk that is of the
most value to his employer; the one
who will secure highest wages, and
retain his position when hard times
come and some have to be dismissed?
l will tell you who. The clerk who
is honest and truthful, and is willing
to take hold and do anything in the
store to help along. The one who
keeps his stock up in the best shape,
is gentlemanly and polite to custo-
mers, and, by his faithfulness, honor
and integrity, draws new customers,
and thereby sells the most goods.
The one who takes lively interest
in his employers welfare, and is care
full that nothing goes to waste. The
one who, when customers are out, is
busy putting up goods and arranging
them in a neat and tasty manner, so
that the store will look pleasant and
inviting. The one who will wait on
a little child as carefully and pleas
antly as he will on president, and has
kind word for all. The one who
loves his business better than saloons.
The one who is temperate, and does
not swear or use coarse and vulgar
language. | tell you such clerk is
q Jewel. and will not have to spend
his time hunting for new situation
every year. We want such clerks +;
railroad companies want them /;
wholesale houses want them; every
body who has to hire wants them,
and the supply of this kind will new
err be ip excess of the demand.-Ex-
