Keeping Cattle.

If merchant were to set up hall
a dozen stoves in his store and at
tempt to keep up little fire in each
and all of them, burning only fuel
enough to keep up two good fires,
every one would unhesitatingly pro
nounce it remarkably foolish. The
farmer in attempting to keep more
cattle than he has hay and grain to
feed, is doing the same thing. The
COW is really a machine for making
hay and meal into milk and flesh.
Just as the stove receives the wood
and imparts heat, the COW receives
food and returns milk and beef f;
and as the stove can throw out no
heat without fuel, so the COW can
return nothing without food. If a
man had only two cords of wood
there would be no propriety in his
obtaining three stoves and attempt
ing to keep fire in each of them all
winter with such an insignificant
quantity of wood. The same prin
principle applies to keeping cattle.
If a man has only hay enough to
keep six animals well, it is extreme
ly foolish for him TO try to keep
eight.

Ladies Avoid the sulks.

Sulks are a difficult thing to as
certain beforehand. Smiles are
cheap; they are easily put on for
the occasion; and besides, the
frowns are. according to the lover 5
whim, interpreted into the contrary.
BY good temper, do not mean an
easy temper-a serenity which moth
ing disturbs-for that is a mark of
lazincss. Sullenness, If you be not
too blind to perceive it, Is temper
to be avoided by all means. a sullen
man is bad enough, what, then,
must be n sullen woman, and that
woman a wife, a constant mate, a
companion day and night? Only
think of the delight of sitting at
the same table and occupying the
same chamber, for a week without
exchanging world all the while.
Very bad, too, scolding for such a
length of time, but this is far better
than "the sulks. - Elk.

Manure for Roses.

Apply in the spring, wood ashes
and guano or hen-house manure, in
the proportion of half a peck OF
guano to a bushel of ashes, apply
ing two quarts of the mixture to
each tree, in a circle eighteen inch
es in diameter around the stem, and
suffering it 20 remain undisturbed
upon the surface. The ashes re-
tain the moisture from the dew and
showers, and the effect, in giving a
vigorous growth with an abundant
crop of the flowers through summer
and autumn, has been very appa
rent. A topdressing of fine char
coal, an occasional copious water
ing, or thin grass mulcling, placed
over this compound, would also be
of decided benefit, and during dry
periods would in fact be indispen-
sable.

A Stocking Heel Protector.

From time immemorial the un-
welcome task of "darning stock
ings" has been particularly dreaded
by every housewife in the land.
Where there is large family to
wear holes, and perhaps but sin
gle pair of hands to repair them,
the undertaking is so formidable,
and so often recurring, that the
victim bids goodbye to hope, and
settles. into the belief that life is'one
demnition grind" at is a kind of
exercise that does nothing to cult
vate the taste, or to discipline the eye
or mind, and the work when fin
ished-is but a dreary botch at the
best. The Yankee Imprecation of
'Pll be darnedr' is, without a doubt,
full of the direst significance.
An ingenious invention consists of
a false heel Of soft, smooth leather,
nicely fitted to the foot, and held in
place by elastic bands. It's use not
only saves the stocking from wear
ing out at the heel, but protects
the heel itself from injury by the
boot, In slipping at the heel, or by
nails in the sole. 1t prevents the
stocking from slipping back, as the
boot or shoe is drawn on, leaving
the toes free from the unpleasant
sensation of being pushed through
the stocking, and by this means
preventing them from wearing out
the toes.
1t is the most comfortable thing
imaginable, as the rough, unpleas-
ant feeling, incident to darned sur
faces, is entirely obviated. At the
same time it is worth many times
its cost as a matter of economy
one pair of stockings with the pro
tector wearing as long as three or
four pairs without. 1t will be par
ticularly appreciated by those I'M
fortunates who have no one to love,

TARBoRo, N. c., 1878.
Mr.. II. R. STEVENS
Dear Sir-I feel very grateful for what your
valuable medicine, Vegetine, has done in my
family. / wish to express my thanks by in
forming you of the wonderful cure of my
son; aho to let you know that Vegetine is the
best medicine ] ever saw for Chills, Shakes,
Fever and Ague. Ny son was sick with
measles in 1878, which left him with Hip
joint disease. My son suffered a great deal
of pain all of the time; the pain was so great
he did nothing but cry. The doctors did not
help him particle, he could not lift his foot
from the floor, he )uld not move without
cTutches. ! read your advertisement in the
louisville Courier-Journal,'' that Vegetine
was great Blood Purifier and Blood Food.

He kept on with the medicine, gradually

years of age. ! have younger son Is years
of age, who is subject to chills. Whenever
he feels one coming on he comes in, takes a
dose of Vegetine and that is the last of the
chill. Vegetine leaves no bad effect upon the
system like most of the medicines recon-
mended for chills. I cheerfully recommend
VegetIne for such complaints. / think it is
the greatest medicine in the world.
Respectfully, MRSJ W LLOYD.

less and stagnant, either from change of
climate, want of exercise, irregular diet, or
from any other cause the Vegetine will renew

the stomach, regulate the bowels, and impart
tone of vigor to the whole body.

People who fret over trihes are
not only in hot water themselves all
their lives, but they keep other peo-
pie there too, they are always in
trouble of some kind, and nothing
goes on as they would have it. 1t al
ways storms when they want pleas
ant weather, and when they could
enjoy a rainy day it is sure to be
bright and sunshiny. They have a
most peculiar faculty of being mis-
cradle; if it is not one thing it is an
other. They are sure to find some
thing to groan and croak about. In
the summer they complain of heat
and collie; in the winter of cold and
rheumatism. One would think
they enjoy being miserable. They
are always borrowing trouble.

Those Who Love God VIII not be
Separated.

A beautiful anecdote told of
the late Pope, told by an English
clergyman, reveals the sweet and
catholic heart of him. Two Eng
glish women, sisters, had an audi
enee of the Pope, but as they were
Withdrawing, one, convert of the
Roman church, fingered. The
Pope, observing this, recalled her,
and asked her as she kneeled what
she liked to ask. The prayers of
your holiness" she said, "that my
sister may be converted from Prot
estantism, and that we may not be
separated by death" The Pope
placing his hand upon her clasped
hands, replied: Daughter, those
who love God will not be separated
in the next world" Even Protes-
tants can believe that Plus TX. was
infallible in that utteranoe.

A Boston Girl.

The following, from Wisconsin
correspondent, shows at how early
an age people born at the ''Hub'
take on their Inconsistencies:
Not many days since, in West
ern city, young lady of ten sum
mers was engaged in watering the
plants on the lawn. A lady stopped
at the garden gate, and the follow
ing dialogue occurred;

Impecuniosity Proven.-A few
days ago q lawyer of New York
filed petition In the district court
in which the plaintiff is an old wo-
man. The clerk, as is usual, want
ed security for costs.
Said the lawyer: "She is not
required to give a cost bond. She
is a pauper, and will make an afii-
davit to that effect"
"Why, she used to own real
estate" observed the.clerk.
81 know she has got nothing
now," retorted the lawyer.
"Have you collected your fee in
advance?''
"You bet l did,
ats all right then. I'm salts
fed she is pauper now" sighed
the clerk.

A horrible story is going the
rounds about the prima donna,
Clara Louise kellogg. 1t is said
that when StIakosch was negotia-
ting with Knight Aston, the tenor,
the latter observed that he would
be willing, nay delighted, to obtain
such an engagement, but that be
could not undertake to sing with
Miss Kellogg. He explained that
his stomach was highly sensitive,
and sthat a Whit of onions would
have the same. effect upon him as
an able bodied case of sea-sichness.
He observed, further, that Miss
kellogg moved in an atmosphere
of onions-that when she opened
her rosy lips-Pineaud, first quail
ty-to MARBLE her moving song of
love, there is a wave of onions pro-
jected from those lips before which
the stomach of Knight Aston would
be turned into raging, heavirg
sea. He mildly suggested that the
relations between the tenor and
prima donna are peculiar. They
are expected to be constantly en-
bracing and singing down each 9TH
er S rhroats, and that this intimate
association between his stomach
and Miss Kellogg's onion laden
breath was utterly out of the ques-
ton. He could not think of 1.-THE
couldn't indeed. 1t seems that af-
ter delivering himself of these SEN
timents, Mr.. Aston prudently took
the first steamer for Europe, where
he might rejoice in immunity from
the gentle Kellogg's wrath, and
miss the waiting odors of her song

The Home Doctor.

To remove dandruff, wash the
scalp Frequently with bay rum and
borax, which will raise a lather,
and rinse off with cold water.
To cure weak eyes, take rose
leaves-the more the better-and
put them into a little water, then
boil; after this strain it into bot
tie, and cork it tight. You will find
this liquid very beneficial in rcmov-
ing redness and weakness from
your eyes.
To stop the flow of blood, even
from a severe wound, bind on the
wound the fine dust of tea. After
the flow has. been staunched lauda
mum may be applied with advantage.
A simple and safe vermifuge con-
sists of powdered rust of iron. 1t
expels the worms and strengthens
the constitution. To a child six
years old, twenty grains may be
given. An adult may take quar-
ter of an ounce. 1t may be given
in molasses or in beer. Followed
always with an aperient-senna for
a child, castor oil for an adult.
For bleeding at the nose, the
best remedy, as given by DR.. Glea-
son, in one of his lectures, is Wig
arous motion of the jaws, as if in
the act of mastication. In the case
of child, wad of paper should be
placed in its mouth and the child
instructed to chew it hard. 1t is
the motion of the jaws that stops
the flow of blood. This remedy is
so very simple that many will feel
inclined to laugh at it, but it has
never been known to fail in a single
instance, even in very severe cases.
To cure vertigo or dizziness, aris-
ing from dyspepsia, eat food that is
easily digested, avoiding pastry and
fat meat. Sometimes it is occa-
stoned by costiveness, and in this
case the remedy is to keep the
bowels open with gentle physic.
Avoid coffee, ardent spirits, late
suppers, and go to bed and rise
early. Take plenty of outdoor
exercise.
Tea and coffee dietary for chill
dren is as bad in its effects as Its
use is universal. DIR. Ferguson
found that children so fed only
grew four pounds per annum be-
tween the ages of thirteen and six
teen; while those who got milk
night and morning grew fifteen
pounds each year. This needs no
commentary. The deteriorated
physic of tea and coffee fed children
as seen in this lessened power to
resist disease, is notorious amidst
the medical men of factory districts.
Offensive breath can easily be
got rid of, for from six to eight
drops of the concentrated solution
of chloride of soda in a wine
glassful of pure fresh water, taken
Immediately after the additions of
the morning are completed, will
sweeten the breath by disinfecting
the stomach, which, far, from being
injured, will be benefited by the
medicine. If necessary, this may
be repeated in the middle of the
day. In some cases the odor from
carious teeth is combined with that
Of the stomach. If the mouth is
well rinsed with teasp0onful Of
the solution of the chloride in a |
tumbler of water, the bad odor of
the teeth will be removed.

Linen Polish.-Take of white
wax one ounce. spermaceti two
ounces, and good pinch OF salt.
Mix and melt these together, and
when cold it viii form a hard cake.
Put a piece the size of pea in the
hot starch for every three or four
shirts. When ironing go over the
linen quickly a second time; this
increases the polish.

NO SECRET.

The little wayelets leaped to look,
The fishes swan to see,
When floating in our little boat
Ny Jamie first kissed me.
The roguish stars ama'n did wink
And twinkle in their glee,
While sidelong chances cast the moon
Yet Jamie he kissed me.
The birds along the river bank
Did fly from tree to tree,
And woke their sleepy mate to tell
That Jamie had kissed me.
Oh, Jamie, Jamie, moor our bark,
And let us somewhere flee,
Where they can neither see nor tell
Then, dearest, I'll kiss thee.
