a Oontented Spirit.

A. New Hampshire boy, now
q resident of Wisconsin, called
at Manchester on his way home
TO his native town the other day.
He was q fine scholar, grad
nate Of Dartmouth, and a law
student in Merrimac county.
Just previous TO his admission
to the bar he took a se> ere cold,
which rendered him very deaf,
and no medical skill was able
TO restore his hearing. This
affection compelled him to give
up his chosen profession, and
he went West very much bro
ken down in spirits. For ten
years he has been farming, cul-
tivating about two hundred a.
ores of prairie, and, as he ex-
pressed it, "making a good liv-
ing and sailing down something
every year." And he declared
to MS that if, knowing what he
now knows he was to begin his
active life over again, he would
do Just as be was compelled TO
do SO unwillingly ten years ago;
that is, he would throw aside his
profession and settle down on a
farm. Said he TO US:
"There isn't much glory on a
farm, but you get a good, sure
living. You are your own mas
ter; you can't starve or be
turned out of business; and as
far as business is concerned, in
these days Of horsepower a
needn't kill himself farming
any more than at any other bu-
siness. It's brains that win on
a farm as well as anywhere else,
and the smart man is going to
ride while the stupid one goes
afoot, in the cornfield as well as
the bar or pulpit. l should like
to have my hearing again, but |
would not leave the farm if /
had il"

DRESSING SHEEP-SKINs FOR
ROBES, MATS, &C.-Make a
strong suds, using hot water.
When it is cold wash the skins
in it to get the dirt out of the
wool. Then wash the soap out
with clean cold water. For two
skins dissolve alum and salt, of
each half pound, with a little
hot water, which put in a tub
Of cold water sufficient to COW
CIR the skins, soaking twelve
hourS. Then hang over a pole
to drain. When well drained,
spread or stretch carefully.
When yet a little damp, have
one ounce Of saltpetre and alum,
pulvsrized, and sprinkle over
the flesh side of the skin, rub
bling it well. Then lay the flesh
sides together and hang in the
shade for two or three days,
turning the under skin upper
most every day, until perfectly
dry. Then scrape the flesh side
with a bulk knife, to remove
any remaining scraps of flesh,
trim off projecting points, and
rub with pumice and rotten
stone, and with the hand.

Where a Driver Should
Sit.
[Frcm the Scientific Americana

From the Scientific Americana
One OF the anomalies in Amer
lean customs is that of the driver
of q wagon sitting on the right.
hand side, while he always turns
out to the right when passing an
other team. 1t matters not wheth.
er he is on the broad sale thorough.
fare or on a narrow lane or crowd.
ed city streets, his seat is the same.
Thus seated il is very difficult to
see the exposed wheels in passing
those which require the eye of the
driver. Doubtless this is a promi
nent cause of the many collisions
between passing teans, and the
wonder is that more do not happen.
The custom was brought over by
the pilgrims, but, like Dutch sen.
tence, the parts got transpOsed in
! the translation. Across the pond
the driver sits on the right, but al
ways turnA the left. In copying
the practice we retained the use
less part and changed the essential
Cor some unexplained reason. Pos
sibly our fathers thought to be
consistent in the matter, and rath.
er than be righthanded in the driv-
ing changed the latter 10 suit. AT
all events, the thing as now prac
ticed is every way inconvenient,
and is a worthy subject of reform
| in this year, when reforms are SO
much in favor. And since it is ca.
ser to change our position on the
seat than alter the custom of turn
ing to the right, let us henceforth
hand our friends up to the right
side of the wagon while we, as
driver, take the opposite side.

CURE FOR CHICKEN CHOLERA. -
A correspondent of the Rural
World sends that paper a remedy
for chicken cholera which is GER
tainly simple, and said to be an
effectual cure for that disease. 1t
appears to be a preventive of that
disorder, and as an ounce of pre-
vention is better than a pound OF
cure, it is at least worthy of
trial. It is as follows "Scald as
much corn meal as is required tC
feed the number of fowls, with
boiling water. Make it tolerably
greasy with lard or meat fryings,

Perhaps our farmer friends may
take a useful hint from the ex-
perience of a hog raiser which we
find IN an exchange. He says
that the disease amongst the
hogs called cholera is in many ca

plan Is to extract the teeth, which
insures the speedy recovery of the
hog.
