Iwant Q wife,
Not overwise
Except IN making bread and piss;
Afraid Of strife,
And one Who feels,
That LIES chief end is getting ue,la
One Who will look
On me, her lord,
As too supreme to doubt my word;
Just as a brook
Drinks In the sun,
And gratefully goes singing OF.
One who will work,
And servants shun,
Nor linger till her toll Is done,
And scorn TO shirk.
The meanest task.
II in my favor she may bask.
One who will stay,
In calm content,
No matter where my time is spent,
At home by day,
At home by night.
Keeping the hearth-stone warm and bright
Who will not care,
When l come in,
To ask me where her lord has been;
Whose face will wear,
Wear all the while.

Who, when die,
Will take her third.

HEALING POWER OF GLUE.-''For
the last twelve or fifteen years." says a
mechanic, 81 have been employed in
shop where there are over 300 men at
work, and, as is the case in all shops of
this kind, hardly a day passes but one
or more of us cut or bruise our limbs.
At first there were but few who found
their way to my department to have
their wounds bound up; but after a while
it became generally known that a rag
glued on a flesh wound was not only a
curative, but formidable protection
against further injury. l will here cite
one among many of the cases cured with
glue: A man was running a boring
machine, with an inch and half auger
attached. By some means the sleeve of
his shirt caught in the auger, bringing
his wrist in contact with the bit, tearing
the flesh among the muscles in a fright
full manner. He was conducted to my
apartment (the pattern shop, and l
washed the wound in warm water, and
glued around it a cloth, which, when dry
shrunk into a round shape, holding the
wound tight and firm. Once or twice
week, for three or four weeks, l dressed
the wound fresh until it was WE'LL"
The above may have appeared in the
JEFF. before-we rather think it has
but it will bear repetition.

WELL WORTH HEEDING.- follow
ing little item from the Sandusky Regis
ter is printed as warning to the farm
ers of this vicinity, and is well worth
needing:
The rogues have devised a new plan
for swind!ing people, especially farmers.
The rascals, who go in pairs, watch the
advertisements of stray horses or COWS,
and one of the fellows goes to the adver-
tiser and asks to see the animal His re-
quest being granted, the scoundrel in
forms the advertiser that the animal is
not the one for which he is looking
The fellow goes back to his ''pal," gives
him description of the animal and the
''pal" then goes to the advertiser, des-
cribes the horse or COW ac ;urately and
gets possession The swiudler tells the
advertiser that he lives long distance
off, and does not want to be troubled
with taking the animal home, and offers
TO sell it for half its worth. The adver-
tiser generally makes the purchase, and
in nine cases ont of ten subsequently, has
to give the animal into the possession of
the rightful owner, losing the money
he has paid to the impostor.

KEROSENE-HOW TO Use 1T.

4 contemporary says that, ''of every
hundred dollars lost by fire, not more
than 90 per cent can be said to have been
lost by accident-that is, by causes
against which ordinary care is not an
efficient defense; that 80 per cent. is oc-
casioned by incendiarism and design, and
the remaining 80 per cent. by sheer care
lessness."
For no small share OF the latter we be-
lieve that the demon kerosene is re-
sponsible. 1t is used in almost every
house where gas is not convenient or at
tainabIe, and usually with so little care
that the wonder is not that there are so
many accidents, but that there are so
few. People keep it in jugs, bottles and
rickety cans, in all sorts Of dangerous
places, where an inadvertent tin may
cause an explosion. They kiudle fires
with it, fill their lamps at night or over
the stove, and generally use it as if was
as safe as tallow, instead of being, as it
really is only less dangerous than nitro
glycerine and 2unpowder. Familiarity
has bred contempt for its dangerous quail
tiles. A person of ordinary discretion
could not be induced to blow into a
muzzle of a gun to ascertain if it is load
ed. Certainly no timid woman could be
prevailed upon to do SO, yet she viii

kerosene lamp at the imminent risk of
her own life and that of her family.
The practice is not only Immediately
dangerous to life, but the fumes given
off by the protrudihg wick fill the room
and house with gas of highly deleteri-
GUS quality.
Where kerosene is used these precau-
tions are Indispensable: Use lamps
with chimneys-the taller the better.
Always keep a supply on hand, in case
of breakage. Fill and clean the lamps
in the morning. Keep the body of the
lamp nearly full of candle-wick. Trim
off the charred portion of the wick. On
retiring set the lamp where there is
draught out of the room, and turn down
the wick until the charred part, which
is slightly enlarged, fills the tube, and so
prevents evaporation. Avoid always, if
possible, carrying lamps from one por-
tion of the house toanother while light
ed. $50 may your days be long in the
land. d."-Rurdl Ne,C Yorker.

HOUSEHOLDS 4 HUNDRED YEARS
Ago.

In speaking of the comparative COM
forts and conveniences enjoyed by our
ancestors In their homes of thousand
years ago, with their descendants of
this generation, Dr. Nichols, in the Bos-
ton Journal Of Commerce says: Our
fathers were groping in almost utter
darkness, so far as sciences was con
cerned, and but little progress has been
made in invention and theilrts; scarcely
one of the modern contrivances for
cooking and for warming and lighting
dwellings was known. Not a pound of
coal or cubic foot of Illuminating gas
had been burnt in the country. No iron
stoves were used and no contrivances for
economizing heat were employed until
DIR. Franklin invented the iron frame
fire place, which still bears his name
All the cooking and warming in the
country were done by the aid of fire
kindled upon the brick hearth or in the
brick oven. Pine knots or tallow can
evenings, and sanded floors supplied the
place of rugs and carpets. The water
used for household purposes were drawn
from deep wells, by the creaking Sweep"
and it is a curious circumstances
that both the well and the building
meeting the necessity of water closet
were often a long distance from the
house. In a colo night to be called
toward either of them was something
dreadful to think Of No form of pump
was used in this country, SO far as we
learn, until after the commencement
of the present century. There were no
friction matches those early days by the
aid of which fire could be easily kind
led; and If the fire "went out" on the
hearth over night, and the tinder was
damp SO the spark would not "catch,"
the alternative remained of wading
through the snow a mile or so to borrow
brand of neighbor. Only one room
In any house was warmed, unless some
one of the family were ilD, in all the rest
the temperature was at zero during
many nights in winter. The men and
women of hundred years ago undress-
ed and retired to their beds at night in
an atmosphere colder than that of our
modern barns and woodsheds, and they
never complained.

MAxIMS FOR FARMERS. is worth
while for all farmers everywhere to re-
member that thorough culture is better
than three mortgages on their farm.
That an offensive war against weeds
is five times less expensive than a de-
fensive one.
That a good fence always pays better
than lawsuits with neighbors.
That hay is a great deal cheaper made
in summer than purchased in winter.
That more stock perish from famine
than founder.
That horse that lays his ears back
and looks lightning when any one ap-
proaches him, is vicious. Don't buy
him.
That scrimping the feed of fattening
hogs is waste of grain.
That over fed fowls won't lay eggs.
That educating children properly is
money lent at one hundred per cent.
That one evening spent at home in
study is more profitable than ten loung-
ing about country taverns.

SALT AND IT'S UsEs.-Hall's Journal
Of Health thus SUNS up some of the uses
of salt; 1t will cure sick headache make
cream freeze, make the butter come,
take ink stains out of cloth of any kind,
kill wens, kill worms, make the ground
cool; so it is more congenial to celery,
cabbage, etc. 1t will ease the itching
pain caused by irritating skin diseases,
like hives, itch, etc. 1t will produce
vomiting or stop it, as YOU like; and
many other things too numerous to men
tion. All pure salt will do this, to 8
certain degree, but sea salt is the most
effectual in its action.

POSSIBILITIES OF AN ACRE.-No man
knows what these are. We know that
two hundred bushels of corn were once
grown on one acre, and that five bales
of cotton have been made on the same
area of soil, but we do not know that
the limits of production were reached in
either case. We should try to find out
not merely how much of any given crop
can be produced on an acre of land, but
how cheaply it can be grown. A big
crop may not, in all cases, be a profit
able one. 1t may cost too much to make
it. The greatest yield with the smallest
possible outlay of capital and labor is
what we must aim at. As we have said
before-and we wish to impress the
truth on the readers mind-our farmers
are often poor, not SO much because
their crops are small-and small they
are compared with what they might be
-as because it costs too much to make
them. We must learn to make large
crops with less slabor.-Rurdl Cdrolian.

BLACK WALNUT STAIN.-Take one
quarter of pound of asphaltum, one
half pound of common beeswax and one
gallon of turpentine. IL the mixture is
found too thin, add beeswax; if too light
in color. add asphaltum; very little
will make great difference in the shade.
Vanishing is not necessary, as the wax
gives a good gloss. This is good stain
for pine.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A woman who has raised large fami-
ly recommends housekeepers to take a
good quality of unbleached cotton, run
up the breadths for top and lining of
quilt, and then color it with any cheap
domestic dye, such as jipoDica, ennatto,
white oak bark, or any such thing, Guilt
them coarsely, and put more cotton bat
ting I'm than would be needed for ordina-
ry bed quilts. They will wear years
longer than ordinary new calico, ard are
especially to be desired in large families
of boys. II desired, outside spreads
may be made of more fanciful materials.
In cooking vegetables, remember that
soft water should be used. If hard wa
ter only can be had, teaspoonful of
carbonate of potash may be added.
They should always be boiled by them
selves, and kept closely covered; throw
in little salt with the vegetables. For
potatoes, only water sufficient to cook
them done is necessary. Vegetables of
the medium size are preferable. Onions
need to be thoroughly cooked until ten
der, but not until the bulb tails into
pieces.
The cause of streaked butter is the
imperfect working of the butter after it
is salted. Salt in butter sets the color,
or deepens and brightens it; so if the
salt is worked into the butter and not so
fully worked as TO salt every part, then
the fresh butter retains the color it had
when it came from the churn, and the
salted butter grows so much darker that
it is decidedly streaked. The remedy is
to work the streaked butter more thor
oughiy.

THE AGE OF FRUIT TREES. 1t seems
to be the common belief that there is no
limit to the natural age of apple trees.
But this is certainly a mistake We
all know that the peach tree usually
fails to be profitable Mt II TO Is years of
age, and the cherry and plum average
only 20 to 80 years; the pear, in favor
able circumstances, 40 to so years-in
rare cases a much longer time. So, also
the apple tree has its natural limit; and,
although, like mans life, the duration
of the period of health and vigor varies
greatly, according to constitution, nur
ture, climate, ETC., its approaching ter
mination is clearly indicated by signs of
debility and disease. On very deep and
favorable soils, and where the trees are
damaged by severitv of climate, apple
orchards are occasionally found bearing
fair crops of fruit so to 100 years of age;
but these are nearly as rare as for their
owners 10 live so long. Very few farms
have soil of the best kind for an orchard
and everywhere our climate is either too
warm or at times too cold for the best
health of the trees. Injury by severe
cold, blackening all the wood, except as
new growth is formed, am convinced,is
a very common cause of the premature
failure of orchards; but starvation, in
consequence of exhaustion of the soil, is
still more common, and this is more
difficult matter to remedy than most
people suppose, especially when trees
have attained full bearing size.-Coun
yTg Gentleman.
