A YOUNG fellow, who was bit of a
Bohemian, fell in love with his laund-
ress, charming young creature, and,
in order that he might see her frequently
he cOntrived to make her call every day
to take something to the wash. AS
chance would have it, they were separ-
ated from each other for time, but by
and by they met again. 'Haye you
been true to me all this timer" inquired
the comely young damsel. "See," said
he, 81 have worn nothing but paper
collars since we parted"

AGRICULTURAL.

RAISE MORE POULTRY.-The telegraph
uses the following sound arguments TO
induce its readers to produce more
poultry: eve have often recommended
the raising of poultry by farmers within
easy reaching distance of Philadelphia
markets, and have no reason now to
change the recommendation but to re-
peat it. If properly conducted it would
become one of the most profitable
branches of the farm. The French give
special attention to poultry, and it
always has been to them an important
source of revenue. The total value OF
chickens sold in France, including eggs
and capons, is estimated at $4,000, 900
per annum, which, if equally divided
among the population, would be at the
rate Of S2.25 for every man, woman and
child in the country. There is no rea-
son why the business here should not
assume greater proportions than it does,
as there is at all times demand Tor
every variety of good poultry and fresh
eggs at remunerative prices. This is
branch of the farmers industry that
can be managed by the women and boys
of family. 1t requires but little capt.
tai. The chicken-houses should be in
expensive but sufficiently roOmy, clean,
and well-ventilated. A large portion of
the food can be supplied by the Otfal of
the farm of almost every description,
which can be readily economical for
the purpose. The time required can be
mainly what may be called Off.time.
The pleasure of raising chickens, ducks,
turkeys, geese, guinea-tOwls, and even
pigeons with squads at forty cents per
pair), should pay for ali the outlay in
money or labor. AS we say, there is a
constant demand for poultry at good
prices, and there is not season in the
year when they cannot be disposed of
freely. We know that upon many
farms poultry raising is not regarded
with favor, as consuming time that
should be applied to the general affairs
of the farm. But it is mistake and we
commend thorough examination of the
subject"
Another even more powerful induce
ment would be to invent some remedy
for chicken cholera and "gapes, " which
cause such discOuraging mortality
among our poultry, both old and young.
Two of our best and most successful
poultry raisers, "who never lose sim
gle chicken from gapes," tell us that
they attribute their example wholly to
the fact that as soon as taken off the
rOOst they grease the heads of all the
chickens. The argument is that the
worm which produces the trouble in the
wind-pipe of the bird matches on the top
of its head and passes in at the nUstrils.

BLACKBERRY MUsH.-Put your fruit
in preserving kettle; mash it to a
pulp, with sugar enough to make it
quite sweet. Set it over the fire, and as
soon as it begins to simmer, stir in very
gradually two teaspoonfuls of flour to a
quart of fruit. 1t should be stirred all
the, time it is boiling. Serve either
warm or cold, with cream. An excel
lent dish, and very good for persons
with weak bowels and who require care

A REMEDY FOR LIME IN THE Eyes
The highly injurious caustic effect of
lime accidently introduced into the eye,
as frequently occurs to those engaged
in building, may be entirely neutralized,
it is said, by the use OF cold sugar
water, owing to the formation of a com
pound of the lime and sugar, which is
without any action upon the eyes.

REMOVING STAINS ON MARBLE.-These
stains may be removed usually by a
mixture of one ounce of soda, piece
of stone lime the size of walnut,
quarter of pound of whiting, and the
same amount of soft soap. Boil these
together ten or fifteen minutes, and
then put the mixture on the marble
while hot. Leave this on twenty-four
hours, then wash off with clean warm
water and polish first with soft flannel
and then with chamOis skin.

THE RULE OF SUCCESS.

( There's u Iule with the printers WHEN type
they are sticking"
That is often respected the trade to ad-
! vance,
Giving speed, when applied to the musical
clicking
OF the letters snd points in their magical
dance,
And the rule il is this, jot it down in your
creed;
Never make a false motion ii YOU wish
10 succeed"
If the gaining O; wealth is yorr earnest
: intention,
Have an eye on the chest; never buy to
; be sold:
! Lay up slowly and sure, it will make a
detention,
If you pick up the dross in the place of
the gold,
Let the rule of the printer te ever your
creed
Never make false motion if You wish
to succeed"
In the books of the age do you l;ope TO be
finding
The wisdom of seers, or the thoughts of
the muse:
1t is well; but remember the gold-tinselled
binding,
Oft covers the wortLless-to read it re-
fuse;
Let the words be of gold on the pages you
read
Never make false motion if you wish
TO succeed"
In The choice of your life ever act with
discretion,
Pressing on in the pathway that nature
designed;
For you each have "call," be it trade or
profession,
And success will attend when this mis-
sion you find;
For the rule still applied, of its precept
take heed,
Never make false motion if you wish
to succeed"
If the siren OF pleasure doth whisper in
viting,
That the wild oats of youth must be
sown if you win,"
Turn away from her counsel; frCst ever
Olithing,
Will come as you gather the pleasures
of sin.
LAS We sow shall ye reap" take the rule
as your creed;
Never make false motion if you wish
to succeed"
In the journey before you there's no time
for delaying,
Every moments mint thai is coming
your life;
Then be sure before action, your con-
science obeying
And you'll rise as you conquer amid
the worlds strife,
And this rule you will bless as the best in
your creed,
Never make false motion if you wish
to succeed"

NATURE.

As fond mother, when the day is DER,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the
floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door
Nor wholly reassured and comtorted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which. though more splendid may, moi
please him more;
So Nature deals with US and takes away
Our playthings. one by one, and by the
hand
Leads us to rest SO gently that we go,
Scarcely knowing if we wish to go or stay
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what
We know.

At our meeting last week. DIR X w
Biggs read paper on temperance, which
in the sense of the society deserved a

writer of The article, We hereby submit
it to you for publication. ] EB
THE PAPER on TEMPERANCE.
The subject of tempernce, is one that
should engage the attention of every
right minded man and woman in our
land. you will give me your attention
for short time, will endeavor 10 de-
part from The course usually pursued by
persons in presenting the subject, and
and give YOU some ideas that will be
new, TO at least to part of those pres
ent.
1t being my desire to present facts in
as popular a manner as / may be cap
able Of doing. shall make use of such
aids in illustrating, and draw upon such
sources of information as have at my
command. You will please bear in
mind that in speaking of intemperance
In this paper, refer to the use of alec
hol and its derivatives, as it is the
amount OF alcohol the various popular
beverages contain, that entities them to
be classed as stimulents and inebriants.
1 shall first examine the subject Of
dram drinking in reference to its effects
on man physically. Here / make the
unqualified assertion, that the use of
alcohol is never necessary and always
injurious to the human system, exceptas
a medicide IN case of actual disease
surefully prescribed. deny the right
of man to prescribe it for himself or
other persons, who has not sufficient
knowledge of medicine and disease to
to enable him to prescribe medicines in
general. Let me illustrate the possible
danger of NAL prescription of stimu-
lants. Common experience teaches us
that a dram of spirits, will relieve colo
and cramps in the stomach and bowels,
but we have another disease Of the same
organs, whose initial symptoms are very
similar. When a man prescribes 1t for
himself. let him be sure of his diagnosis;

well, but if the pain be symptom OH

but must be productive of HARM acting
