we'll visit to Miss Seward, who pro.
posed to introduce him to two Of her
literary friends, Cunningham, the
curate, and Newton, her ''minstrel' as
she called him. On the night before
the introduction Cunningham had an
extraordinary dream in two acts. He
saw in his vision great forest, in
which he was alone. Presently a
horseman approached at great speed,
as he drew near the dreamer, three
men suddenly sprang from some
bushes, seized the rider and bore him
away. Mr.. Cunningham awoke, and
falling asleep again, he saw in vision
a great multitude of people near a
large city, and while he was looking
at them, a young man, whom he recog.
nized rs the horseman who had been
seized, was brought out and hanged
upon a gibbet. Mr.. Cunningham re-
peated these dreams to his friend
Newton the next morning, and when,

To all, particularly invalids, spring
is trying season. Indications OF sickness
should at once he attended to. Fatal diseases
may be caused by allowing the bowels to be-
come constipated, and the system to remain
in disordered condition, until the disorder
has time to develop itself. An ounce ct pre-
vention is worth pound Of cure, is an old
and truthful saying. Therefore we advise
all who are troubled with the complaints now
very prevalent indigestion, dis
ordered liver, want Of appetite, nausea, or
feverish skin, to take, without delay,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know Of no
remedy SO harmless and decisive in its action
1t at once strikes at the root of the disease
and produces healthy tone to the system.
People never need suffer from any disease
arising from disordered condition of the
liver if they would take this excellent medi-
cine when they feel the first indications of the
malady. Families leaving home for the sum-
mer months should take three or four boxes
Of these pills with them. They have an al
most instantaneous effect. They will relieve
the patient OF headache in one or two hours,
and will rapidly cleanse the liver Of sur
rounding bile, and will efectually prevent a
bilious attack. They are sold by all drug
gists.

Household Hints.

For Dried Beef-Take a pint of milk;
a small piece of butter, and little
pepper, in a spider when boiling, stir
in the yOlk of an egg, and one table
spoon of flower to thicken have your
dried beef finely shaved, and pour into
the boiling mixture. Pour this in q
round: dish, and serve hot. This
preparation of dried beef is very palat-
able for lunch or tea.
To remove red mites from canaries,
hang piece of new white flannel il
the cage at night next the perch 80 that
it ;hades the bird from the light. In
the morning you will find the mites on
the flannel; wash or puta new piece
the following night, and continue
doing SO until they are all removed.
1t is also well to scald the cage. The
.pcrches should be of red cedar wood.
To make an excellent soft soap take
one and a quater pounds of clean,

A new Thames Tunnel.

The proposal to construct a subway
under the river Thames at Woodwich,
which originated October, 1873, con-
sequent upon the upsetting of a
skiff in fog and the loss of nine lives,
is about to be carried into effect, and
the necessary capital, 100000, is said
to have been subscribed. The tunnel
will be for foot passengers only, but
wide enough for five persons to walk
abreast. A subway which would have
admitted carriages as well has been
thought very desirable, as there is no
way for vehicles across the river be-
low London bridge, but the estimated
cost exceeds 1850, 900, and it was con:
sidered impracticable to raise such an
amount. -

Raising Calves for the Dairy.

Moore's Rural says: There are var.
ious opinions in reference to the best
and cheapest manner of raising calves.
We believe the best results are oh.
tanned by giving the calf generous
treatment from first to last. A poor,
strnted, and half starved calf will new
er be able to reach that standard of ex-
cellence that it would had a more liber-
al allowance of food been made during
it's earliest days. If a calf gets a fair
start on milk, its food may be changed
to whey by adding a porridge of oat.
meal, Oilcake, buckwheat flour, or
something of this kind to supply the
necessary constituents lacking in the
whey. We have sometimes seen good
calves raised on small quantity of
milk by adding the liquor from stepped
hay. Where conveniences are had for
sleeping hay and only small quantity
of milk can be had, this plan may be re-
sorted to but if good sweet whey can
be obtained, the porridge or oatmeal or
oilcake will require less labor in it's
preparation and is easier to be regula-
ted as to the quantity required.
In butter diaries good calves can be
raised on the skinned milk. Almost
every farmer has some peculiar notion
of his own in regard to the manner of
raising calves; but the great and gen.
eral fault in management is a scanty
allowance of nutritious food in the
early stages of growth. 1t is impor.
tant that the young animal be kept in
a growing, vigorous condition, SO that
when cold weather approaches in the
fall and early winter it will be able to
meet the exigencies of change in eli
mate with good food and care, and
without special nursing to bring it
through the rigors of winter. It pays
we'll to do the work thoroughly and in
the best manner at first, since if this
is omitted no after.treatment will be
able to wholly counterfeit neglect and
starvation in the early stages of
growth.
The Importance of growing good
dairy stock cannot be too strongly
urged upon the dairy farmers of this
State at this time. The difficulty of
getting good stock by selecting from
droves brought from distance is so
great that the raising of stock on the
farm where it is to be used is now al
most imperative, if good and profit.
able herd is desired. Calves should be
selected from deep.milking animals,
and if these have been crossed with
thoroughbred bulls of good milking
families the chances are almost GER
tain that the calf will make a good
cow.

The Beautiful Ballad of Waska Wee.


Her voice was sweet as ban-go-lin;
Her eyes ran up, her chin ran donw-
Oh, she was the belle of Yeddo town.
Now lovely Waska singty Wee,
So good to hear, and sweet to see,
The fairest maiden in all Japan,
Fell dead in love with Turkish man.
This Turkish man a turban had,
This Turkish man was sly and bad;
He whispered unto Miss Waska Wee:
30 fly with me to my own Turkee!
20 fly with me to my own Tur<ee!
And robes of gold IN give to thee
A girdle Of pearl and love tor life;
Ii thou wilt be my eightieth wife,
Now simple Waska Singty Wee,
So good to hear, 50 fair to see,
Resolved behind her bashful fan
To be eightieth wife to this Turkish man;
But though her heart was full of glee,
She hung her head and said to he:
"If thou shouldst die, my Turkish bean,
Where would poor Waska Singty go?"
Then this horrid, sly old Turkish man
Declared he'd die on the English plan.
"And So" said he, "my bright-winged bird,
Thou'it have for the fortune the widows
Then flew the maid to the Mi-ka-do,
And told the plan of her Turkish beau.
"And now,'' said she, "the whole thou'st
heard,
How much will it he, this widows teirk?"
Now the Mi-ka-do vas wondrous WISE
lie opened his mouth and shut his eyes:
"The widows third, o daughter, will he
Whatever the law will allow to thee
Then flew the maid to the Court of Lords,
Where every man wore brace Of swords,
And babe them name what sum would be hers
When her Turk should so to his fore a-thers.
They sat in the council from dawn till night,
And sat again till morning light
Figured and counted and weighed to see
What an eightieth widows third would be;
And at the end Of it all, as you we'll might
know,
Was naught but grief to the Turkish beau;
For Lovely Waska Singty Wee
Said: eco back alone to your old Turhci'
