Northern Snow.
BY WILL WALLACE HARVEY.

BY WILL WALLACE HARVEY.
An exile TO the pine and palm,
see the fur-winged summer brood,
Through azure depths of endless calm,
Above a nursing solitude;
And ample breadths of bloom unfuried.
As sweet as that yoluptuous South
Where Antony gave the Roman world
For Egypts Cleopatra mouth.
All things of sight and sound appear
TO breathe OF nothing but content,
A. If unheeded, through the year,
The Vagrant seasons came and " ent
Yet often, when hear the rain.
In fleece ofyapor. whisper low.
Like ghosts about the window-pane.
NV heart would leap TO see the snow;
To see beyond the frozen meres,
In chalk and cravon's black and white,
The river-hills, through atmospheres.
Wind-blown, in dazzle points Of light;
The smothered roofs that lie below
The little wreaths of thin. blue smoke.
Where d)dder holds handfHls CT snow
Above them on it mother oak.
In smooth. white level. lies the croft;
mound OF snow the lockwood shines;
Still sweep the trowels, white and soft,
In sloping curves and sweeping lines.
soft furries, as shadow blurs
The page in passing. light and fleet;
Like soft, warm faces wrapped in iurs;
Like faces passing on the street.
see them in the falling rain,
Through all the years that lie between,
Like ghosts about the window-psne,,
Among the musk and evergreen;
The boyhooi's friends. the fair Young wife
Who watched with me so long ago,
As If across another lite,
Among the softly falling snow;
While. grieylng through the pine and palm,
The winds do chide uncounted hours,
Whose un>pent summers ill the calm
With soft, sweet utterauces OF flowers.

HOES WANT SuLPHUR.-Whe hogs
require sulphur as All essential to health,
or whether il is sought by them as condi-
mcnt, may not be discovered. But one
thing is true, they devour il with greed
whenever it is TO be found. 1t is for this
purpose probably that they can eat large
quantities OF son coal. which contains a
large amount of sulphur Perhaps this is
the most economical method of supplying
hogs with sulphur during W inter. when
they require a good deal of carbon But in
summer it is best to feed il TO them In SUBJ
stances which contain less carbon, on ac-
count Of their producing less heat. Mus
tard is one of the best things for this pur-
pose, and some Of il should be sown in
every pasture into which hogs are turned.
II hogs are kept in, or are in small yards,
IT Is well TO supply them with the wild mus
tsrd that grows in the fields or highways.
or to cultivate some OF the better varieties
for them. They will eat its leaves, its flow-
ers, seeds. and stalks Home Journal

A SIMPLE ORNANENT.-Ladies who are
always for new floral adornments will find
that a pretty sitting-room .1ornament is
made by taking spruce cone and baking
1t in an oven till the scales open out equally.
1t is then filled with equal parts OF sand
and grass seed, string tied to the top, an
the whole put in the dark, in jar, with
water enough to come half way over the
cone. In week it is :placed in the sun
light, when the seeds! sprout rapidly. and
in month ill gallon jar completely. 1t
is then taken out and hung in the window.
Every morning it should be thoroughly
soaked in milk-warm water-1Ex.

gulshed physician has said that If his pa-
tients would make practice of eating a
couple of good oranges before breakfast,
from February till June, his practice would
be gone. The principal evil is that we do
not eat enough Of fruit; that we injure It's
inner qualities with sugar; that we drown

SWEET PEAs.-Many complain that their
sweet peas grow we'll but do not bloom
freely. The fault is In late planting. Sweet
peas should be sown as early in the season
as possible. In April always. They will
then bloom freely all the season if not al
lowed to go to seed on the vines. One
lady last season. planted her sweet peas
in boxes in the house in March, and they
were ready to blossom in June, and now-
cred abuRdently all the season.

USEFUL REcIPEs.-A great many direc
tons have been published for mending
india rubber boots and shoes, most of
which were worthless. The following can
be relied on: Procure a small tin box of
prepared rubber in q semi-lquid condition
which can be purchased for a few cents at
almost any store where india rubber goods
are kept for sale. The boot must be washed
clean and dried. Then the surface around
the rent is to be roughened little with the
point of knife. after which the semi-liquid
rubber is spread on with q spoon as thick
ly as it could be without flowing away.
Then neat patch is prepared aud covered
with one or two coats OF rubber. When
the prepared rubber is almost dry. the
patsh is applied and held on firmly for 4
few minutes.

Watering Herses.

A full drink OF water Immediately after
being fed should never be allowed to
horses. When water is drunk by them, the
bulk of it goes directly to the large intes-
tines and little of it is retained in the stom-
ach. In passing through the stomach,
however. the water carries considerable
quantities OF the contents to where il lodges
il the iutestines. II, then, the food is wash
ed out before il is digested, no nourishment
will be derived from the feed. In Edin-
burgh. some old horses were fed with split
peas. and then given wster Immediately
before being killed. Ii was found that the
water had carried the peas from fifty TO
sixty feet into the intestines, where no d.
gestion took place at all. Mr.. Cassie is
quite correct in the views set forth regard
ing the Injurious effect of large quantities
of water swallowed Immediately after eat
ing. A small quantity of fluid swallowed
along with or Immediately after dry food
benefl ally softens it, and assists in its
division aud digestion. An inordInAte sup
per of water or watery fluid, on the other
hand, proves injurious. Ii dilutes unduly
the digestive secretions; 1t mechanically
carries onward the imperfectly digested
food, aud thus interferes with the proper
functions of the canal. and excites indiges-
ton and diarrh9a. These untoward vf-
fects are especially apt to occur where
horses freely fed and too literally wstered
are put to tolerable quick work. There is
no more infallible method OF producing
collie, diarrh9a and Inflammation OF the
bowels. The horse is not peculiar in this
effect; dogs, and even their masters, sim
iarly suffer from copious draughts of water
Immediately after eating much solid food.
