KEEP CHICKENS SCRATCHING
following, from the journal of Horti-
culture" is very sensible: Shelter
afforded by doors and posts is almost
useless. We want the shade of living
underground, beneath which the chick
ems can creep and rest. Chickens,
again, must be occupied. Those runs
which are only few yards square, and
which are daintily swept over every
day to make them look tidy for visitors,
are useless for chickens. Nothing can
grow or keep healthy in those smooth
billiard-table like runs Chickens want
to be occupied, and must be kept busy
The runs must be dug up and piles of
the loose dirt thrown up one day and
another, and the chickens will delight
in leveling these A capital way to
keep chickens on the scratch is to throw
their whole corn always down among
loose dirt or lump of straw. The
sexes, too, must be separated in good
time. Some breeds are more precocious
than others, and so we can fix no reli-
able date for their separation ; it must
depend on the breed and breeders exper-
fence. There is, however, another point
which we think quite as important
namely, moving, every little while, the
pullets of the larger breeds where size
is desideratum, from yard to yard
for we are convinced it retards matur.
ity and laying at an early age, and SO

THE INFIDEL STRENGTHENING the
month of November, clergyman, and
an atheist were in one of the nj ght
trains on the New York Central Rail
road. The night being cold the passen-
gers gathered. as closely as possible
around the stove. The atheist was
very loqucaious, and was soon engaged
in controversy, with the minister. In
answer to question of the latter as to
what would be mans condition after
death, the atheist replied, Man is like
pig; when he dies, that is the end of
him. As the minister was about to reply,
worthy Irishwoman at the end of the
car sprang up, the natural red of her
face glowing more intensely with ami
nation, and the light of the lamp falling
directly upon it, and addressing the
clergyman in voice quite startling
and humorous from its impassioned
tone and the richness of its brogue,
exclaimed, Arrah, now, will you no.
let the haste alone? Has he not said
he was pig? and the more you pull
his tail, the louder he'll squale." The
effect of this was electric; the clergy
man apologized for his forgetfulness,
and the atheist was mute for the re.
mainder of the journey.

Corn FOR Mich Cows.-Many seem
to feel that grain fed to cows is almost
thrown away. The horses and hogs
must have all the grain, and leave the
cows to take care of themselves. These
are, in my opinion, very mistaken no.
tions. Indeed, it costs only a little
more to keep cow upon grain than
upon hay. Example: 1t will take one
acre of good grass to furnish Winter
fodder for a COW. The same acre, if
planted to corn and properly cultivated,
will not only furnish Winter fodder,
but will furnish grain enough, if fed
with the stalks in Winter and the pas
turage in Summer, to give US good
flow of milk during the entire milking
season, while the hay would have done
little more than sustain the animals
life. The difference of cost, then, in
the two methods of feeding is the diff
ference of expense in raising an acre of
grass and an acre of corn. We have
the same investment for land, and it is
only the difference in labor, and when
we strike the balance between the cost
and profit, we shall find large balance
in favor of the grain.

PERSONAL PURIFYING. A. Bronson

PERSONAL PURIFYING A. Bronson
Alcott read paper in Boston last week
on Personal Purity" in which he
said he could conceive of life that
would lead down to that of the ape.
Intemperance and its attendant evils,
and vice in various forms, lead down.
ward to condition little if any better
than that of the ape Thus could be
seen the effect of vice on the counten-
ance. Impure literature was sapping
the life of young men. In older times
mothers made practice of reading
books before they were put into the
hands of their children. 1t was not
safe to allow the young to read all that
was put in the newspapers-there were
portions to be omitted. 1t was neces-
sary to the attainment of personal purity
to practice restraint, which was religion.
Parents, in requiring obedience of their
children, should do so by example and
kindness. Oftentimes the parent needed
punishment as much as the child.

PERSEVERANCE Bruce. re

Observation-Disclosures Bruce, re-
storer of the Scottish monarchy, being
out one day looking at the enemies of
his country, was obliged to seek refuge
at night in barn that belonged to a
poor but honest cottager. In the
morning, when he awoke, he saw a
spider climbing up the beam of the
roof. The spider fell down to the
ground, but it Immediately tried again,
when in a second time fell to the ground.
1t made third attempt, but did not
succeed. Six times it fell down again,
but the seventh time it succeeded and
gained the top of the beam. The King
Immediately got up from his lowly
couch and said, "This little spider has
taught me perseverance l will follow
its example Six times have | been
beaten by the enemy; will try once
more" He did, and won the next
battle. The King was the SPIDERS

GIDEON OUSELEY WITH THE
FLAX DRESSERS.

When he was travelling in the north
of Ireland, be and his companion heard
the voices of some young girls at work
They were scutching" (dressing) flax
Ouseley, "quickly alighting, entered the
house, taking off his hat and saying,
God save you children!' Save you
kindly, SIR was the cheerful response
What is this you're doing? Scutch-
ing flax, sir Scutching fax! What's
that for?' Oh, don't you know what
flax is, sir? Sure, it's what your shirt
is made of What my shirt is made
of? How can that be?' Don't you
see, SIR said one of the elder girls,
holding up bunch of flax, that's
what we do spin into yarn, and the
weavers make the yarn into the kind of
cloth your shirt is made Of ooh, l
see-I seer said Mr. Ouseley; thank
you, my dear And what is all this
lying about the floor? pointing to the
heap of chat which lay at the feet of
each of the workers. 'Them's the
shows, sir Shows, my dear! and
what will you make of them? Make
of them, sir? ? and there was little
laugh among the girls. Why, nobody
could make anything of them And
weren't they part of the fax awhile
ago. To be sure, sir; but they are
good for nothing now, except to be
burnt, and bad fire they make 'Oh,
| understands understand said the
preacher, and then very solemnly went
on: And, children dear, just so will
the Lord Jesus Christ (and here every
head was bowed) come one day with
his holy angels, and he will sCUTcH the
world, and he will gather together all
that is good, every one that is fit for
his kingdom, and take them to himself
and the rest-the shows, the chaff-
he will cast into unquenchable fire !,
The Lord save US! was whispered
around. Amen said the preacher;
let US pray All were promptly on
their knees, while Mr. Ouseley, in fer
vent petitions, pleaded for the salvation
Of the young workers. Rising up, he
blessed them in the name of the Lord,
mounted his horse, and rode away,
leaving them hardly sure that an angel
had not visited them"

WORK AND WAIT.

A husbaDdman, who many years
Had plowed his field and sown in tears.
Grew weary with his doubts and fears ::
II toiled in vain? These rocks and sands
Will yield no harvest to my hands
The best seeds rot in barren lands.
My dropping vine is whitening;
No promised grapes its blossoms bring,
No birds among the branches sing.
My flock is dying on the plain;
The heavens are brass; they yield no rain
The earth is iron: l toll in vain !"
While yet be spake, breath had stirred
His dropping vine, like wing of birds,
And from its leaves a voice he heard:
The germs and fruit of life must be
Forever hid in mystery:
Yet none can toll in vain for Me.
A mightier hand, more skilled than thine,
Must hang the clusters on the vine,
And make the fields with harvest shine
Man can but work; God can create!
But they who work and watch and wait,
Have their reward, though it come late
Look up to heaven! Behold and hear
The clouds and thunderings in thine ear !;
An answer to thy doubts and fear
He looked; and 10 cloud-draped car,
With trailing smoke and flames afar,
Was rushing from distant star;
And every thirsty flock and plain
Was rising up to meet the rain
That came to cothe the fields with grain !;
And on the clouds he saw again
The covenant of God with men.
Rewritten with his rainbow pen:
Seed-time and harvest shall not fail;
And, though the gates Of hell assail,
My truth and promise shall prevail"

Lincoln and Mcclellan.

Hon. Leonard Sweet, of Chicago,
delivered his lecture, "Circuit Rid
ing with Lincoln" in Milwaukee a
few nights ago, and in the course of
it said: II remember a case he won
for the Illinois Central. 1t was a
great triumph for the road, saving it
millions, and he charged $1,000. The
road refused to pay. He was angry
and brought suit, and there being no
appearance tor the road, he got iudg-
ment. John Douglass, now Presi-
dent Of the road, asked him to lei
him have chance to appear, and
Lincoln had the judgment set aside
They tried the case at once, and hi:
humor before the jury gave him q
verdict Immediately" The Milwau
kee Sentinel adds to the story an in
teresting circumstance which is mar
rated by General NJ. Brayman, now
a citizen Of Wisconsin, but then the
attorney Of that company. The Sen
tinel saws: ut was he who EN-
ployed Mr.. Lincoln to conduct somt
important litigation for the road
Mr.. lincoln managed thescaso witt
great ability, and won a decisive vie
tory. In the meantime, George b
Mcclellan had been appointed Gen
eral Superintendent of the read
When Mr.. Lincoln presented bill
for $1,000, Mcclellan, reasoning il
may be presumed that the charge
was exorbitant for the services OF thu
gawlSy country lawyer who stood be
fore him, refused to pay it, and treat
ed Mr.. Lincoln with marked dis
courtesy. Lincoln sued the com
pany and recovered the full amount
under the circumstances stated by
Mr.. Sweet. The subsequent relations
between the country lawyer and the
martinez who snubbed him are his
torical. 1t was Characteristic of Lin
coin to promote his ins0lent enemy

Mcclellan lacked the soul to appre
ciate such magnanimity."f

Improved Communication.

A few weeks ago il was given out
by Reno paper that change OF
time was about TO take place on the
overland railroad dine, whereby much
more desirable connections would be
made at that place. We expressed
doubts on the subject, for the reason
that Reno, Virginia, etc, were not
places OF sufficient importance to
Justify such u change, however pleas
ant it might be to them. The over
land trains have been running to suit
such places as San Francisco, Ogden,
Omaha, Chicago and New York. Es-
pecially do they arrive and depart at
the right hours in San Francisco,
and these facts should naturally gov
crn in this business.
But there is another matter, how
ever, which will he Of more inipor-
lance to Reno, Virginia, etc, than
the matter Of hours of arrival and
departure of the overland trains. It
is now given out that an extra train
IS to run from San Francisco to Re-
NO. and will there connect with a
passenger train running to Carson
and Virginia. The west bound train
will leave Reno at ten o'clock P. ",
arrive at Sacramento at six o'clock
=. ", and going by way of Vallejo
arrive at San Francisco at 1890 A.
N. The east bound train leaves San
Francisco at four o'clock P. NJ, ar
riYes at Sacramento at $50 P. NJ,
passes through Truckee at 4;30 \.
~, and reaches Reno at 6 80 4. II.
This, now, is something as ii
should be. Really, however, this
extra is not to be an entire new
through train from San Francisco; il
will, ii at ali, run only from Sicra-
mento in connection with the short
route between that city and San
Francisco. There have been two
daily passenger trains between these
two cities, over the Vallejo route, fol
several years. IF this proposed ex.
ira arrangement goes into effect, the
trip from Virginia TO San Francisco
and vice versa, will be shortened
several hours over the overland time
table via Oakland.

Sunday arrived in San Francisco

with 1872 Chinese. The Captain states
tilat he sailed from Hong Kong with
the intention of coming direct here,
but when about two days out the
Chinese became mutinous, "com-
planning Of lack of food and water,
and IRONS, revolvers, hot water and
red-hot pokcrs were brought into
play to keep them in order, and the
Captain put into Yokohama and took
