Shelter the Stock.

Winter is now near at hand, and
shelters or comfortable quarters
should be prepared on every farm
for cattle and other stock, The
protection of stock from the cold
blasts of winter relieves them of
extra feeding for keeping them in
good order and healthy condition.
1t is not only economy to furnish
stock with comfortable bedding
and covering, but it is comfortable
to our human feelings to know that
the dumb beasts under our charge
and care are not exposed to the
frosts, cold rains and icicles so
common during the winter. There
are several cheap modes of making
comfortable shelters. Boards are
generally used, but many farmers
who are abundantly supplied with
straw and corn stalks use them for
sheltering stock to advantage
Economy and humanity demand
more care and protection for stock
than is generally given them.

Words of Wisdom.

When men, women and opportu-
nifty meet, the devil sits down,
knowing that the fire will burn
without help from him.
1t is better to rise from your
knees and shut your hens out OF
your neighbours yard. than to in
dnlge In long prayers.
The perfectly contented man is
also perfectly useless.
Try to see yourself through the
eyes of those around you.
The ideal saint of the young NOR
alist is cut from sappy timber.
The Lord can more easily have
faith in the religion that wears an
old coat to church, than the man in
the coat can.
True prosperity builds up the
soul rather than the pocketbook.
The vigorous ideal keeps warm
though wrapped in few words.
Faith that asks no questions
kills the soul and STILES the intel
lect.
Happy is the man who has
neighbors willing to forgive his
mistakes.
Appear to be better than you are,
and aim to be what you appear.

Curing Bacon and Hams.

Rural Sun: A correspondent of
the Country Gentleman--J B. NJ.
of Franklin, Tenn, gives his meth
cd of curing bacon and hams, as
follows: AS the mode Of handling
the hog varies with the climate,
will speak in reference to this eli
mate of Middle Tennessee. In the
first place l make it a point to have
my hogs ready for Strengthening by
the first cold spell, which in this
climate is from the 10th to the goth
of November each year, and never
fails. l slaughtered IL. 900 pounds
November 18th, 1877, and in
1875 l killed them about the 18th.
After killing let the hogs hang on
The pole all night, and the next day
Il cut them up and salt them L u
perintend the cutting myself, and
have it done neatly, particularly the
hams. | have these cut round, and
the little bones are sawed OH, leav-
ing a neat, nice ham | have the
sailing begun as soon as the cut
ting commences, and | use common
salt well mixed with red pepper,
and have the hams and shoulders
rubbed ell, both the flesh and
skin. and then l have them packed
as closely as possible IN pile
across my smOke-house, built up
like a stonewall tight and level, fl
ling the holes with the jowls and
disposed of | cover the rank with
the sides, breaking the joints, as if
Gaping a fence. l let all remain
In salt four weeks, then | break the
bulk and wash the hams clean in
hot water; made strong with red
pepper. L omitted to say that in
sailing the hams | have a measured
tea-spoonful of saltpetre put upon
each ham, simply to give them Il
nice red color, and use the pepper
to harden them.) l then hang up
the lot and smoke gently till Febru-
airy, using nothing for smoke ex
cept green hickory, because the
smoke Is stronger, and in warm
weather it keeps out the fly. In
February, before the fly starts up, l
get the number of hams and then
purchase paper bags of the proper
size, put little sweet hay into the
bottom of EACH bag, and then slip
them over the hams as they hang
on the stick and tie them closely
around the string and let the hams
hang, and occasionally have little
smoke in damp weather. They
will keep nicely for several years.
Better hams. cannot be found in
any market. The sides and shout
ders l do not trouble. Nv smoke

floor, consequently very dry.

Listening Ali Night to the Death
Watch"

One of the officers of the Inflated
Princess Alice had received his ap-
poiD tment after being unemployed
for long time, and this had ena-
bled him to turn himself round a
little and, though still feeling the
gripping effects of his enforced
idleness in the winter, things at
home were getting easier, and he
proposed the day before the fatal
event that his wife should take a
holiday and go down to Sheerness
with the steamer. He actually pro-
cured pass, and did his best to
persuade his wife to 60 on that dis
astrous Tuesday. 1t was great
temptation, but she declined, and
the husband went off alone. That
night she waited up and grew I'M
easy, The death watch" she says,
licked necessarily in her parlor,
ana she went out to the door and
heard Big Ben boom out hour after
hour-2 o'clock, a quarter past 2,
half past 2-and then, feeling weary
and anxious, she went to bed. A
quarter of an hour later telegram
came, informing her that the boat
had come in collision, and her hus-
band was injured, and requesting
her to go down to Woolwich. What
that startling summons was to a
woman who had a family of five
little children, and who had
been listening all the evening to
the death WATCH" may be con
ceived 1t is fifteen miles from
Vauxhall to Woolwich, and at 3
o'clock in the morning she started
off, aud ran and walked and cried
the whole distance. When the tel
egram came she clasped one of her
children to her breast, and told the
little one that her father was
drowned. She had no doubt that
that was the truth, because of the
ticking, and she plodded down the
weary journey on foot, feeling her
self widow and her children fa-
therless. The husband was injured,
and seriously injured, but not dead,
and he is recovering, and will prob
ably live to do many good days
work yet The shock and excite
ment to the wife were such that for
whole week she was unable to
sleep.

The Inevitable Result.

Concluding "A long editorial on
the Presidential outlook for 1880,
the Philadelphia Times says:
Organs and political Leaders
may speculate on the chances of the
popular vote Of 1880 and uUon the
Democratic majority of the next
House; but the practical solution
OF the problems Is to be determined
by the relative strength of the par
ties If sectional issue shall be
adopted by the Republicans as their
most available battle cry for 1880,
and an enforced Solid South shall
be made to invoke a Solid North, a
renewal of sectional strife, a new
era of business paraly sis. and either
an honest or revolutionary Demo
cratic victory will be the inevitable
result. There will be no peace, no
prosperity, no safety. no majesty Of
law, 40 reverence for justice, until
the people of all sections and of all
parties shall make fraud and wan

LADIES COLUMN.
HARoLINE HAROLD, EDITOR.
Good Natured People.

Be good natured if you can; for
there is no attraction so great, no
charm so admirable. A face that
is full of the expression of amlabil-
ity is always beautiful. 1t needs
no paint and no powder. Cosmet-
les are superhuous for it; rouge can
not improve it's cheeks, nor lily
white its complexion. It's lowell
ness lies beyond all this. 1t is not
the beauty that Is bat skin deep.
For when you gaze into the face of
a nOble-hearted man or woman, it is
not the shape of the features, you
really see, nor yet the tiat of the
cheek, the hue of the lip, or the
brilliancy of the eye. You see the
nameless something which animates
all these, and leaves for you instinct
a sense of grateful fascination; you
see an indescribable embodiment OF
heartfelt goodness within, which
wins your regard in spite of eXter
nal appearance and defies all the
critical rules of the esthetic.
Therefore, cultivate good nature.
Good nature is better than APP
pies of gold set in pictures of silver,
for gold will take to itself wings
and fly away; silver will tarnish in
in time; and both, when abundant,
lose their comparative value; but
good nature never loses its value
never abandons its possesssor to the
mental poverty of the malicious
never loses its hold on the esteem
of the world.
Good nature is always in fashion
and always in season. Every body
admires it. Everybody praises it.
Everybody is in love with it. 1t
never grows stale. 1t costs little to
acquire and nothing to keep. Yet
it is beyond diamonds in its worth
to its owners, and can neither be
stolen nor lost, however neglected,
This is surely jew ell that merits a
search; and when found, merits pro-
lection.
Possess yourselves of it, young
woman; no talisman Will find you so
bewitching in the judgment of the
other sex.
Secure it, young man, you could
have no better attraction for low
ing woman, and no safer guarantee
OF domestic happiness.

The Belled Buzzard.

Brownsville States: One of the
striking incidents of the late cpl
demic was the singular appearance
nearly every day of buzzard fly
ing over the city and ringing cow
bell. Sometimes the vulture would
be in a flock of its kind and some
times alone, and often it flew so low
that the bell could be distinctly seen.
The neg: oes regarded this remark
able noise as in some way connected
with the epidemic and invested it
with supernatural terrors. The
same buzzard has been seen several
times since the fever abated, always
the bell as it dies 1t is
that some mischievous
person caught the buzzard and put
the bell on it for amusement.

FINDING MAMMA.
BY MRS. N. L. RkYNE.

From the Baltimorean
true incident of the fever-plague in
the now stricken city of Grenada.
Some mothers prattling baby,
Lost in the city streets,
Smiling with pretty wonder,
In every face he meets.
Answering Id baby fashion,
To all who bid him stay;
Ppm doing to find my mamma,
She's went and ruined away"
Strong men, with eyes DER trimming,
Caress the sunny head;
They know that last night they laid her,
With the unnumbered dead.
And heard her pray when dying,
"God-bless- my-baby-deRT,
And-bring-him soon-to-meet--me,
I-cannot--leave-him
But still the sweet lips nurmur
To those who bid him 'come,"
"1'se dot to find my mamma
Before tan do home"
The dimpled cheeks grow paler,
The eyes are fever bright,
The little feet are weary
Beneath the falling night.
They found him in the starlight,
The rosy lips were closed,
And on the baby forehead,
The peace of dsaih reposed.
Now had the mothers spirit
Found answer to her prayer?
We only know that "n amma,"
And home and heaven were there!

One reason why a good many
people are idle is, that they do not
want to work and won't accept it
when offered them. They prefer
dead beating around and living off
somebody else's labor. Another
fact to be remembered is, whenever
you hear healthy, hearty man say
that he can't make n living it is
certain he does not try. In this
country there is homely. suhstan
tial living for all who are able and
willing to earn it.

Rheumatism is a Disease of the Blood

Tho blood in this disease, is found to con-
tain an excession fibrin. Vegetine acts by
converting the blood from It's diseased con-
dition to a healthy circulation. Vegetine
regulates the bowels which is very impor-
tant in this complaint. One bottle of Vege-
Zine will give relief; but, to effect pefma-
nent cure it must be taken regularly, and
may take several bottles, especially in cases
of long standing. Vegetine is sold by all
druggists. Try 1t, and your verdict will he
the same that of thousands before you,
who say, 81 never found so much relief as
from the use of Vegetine,' which is compos-
ed exclusively of Banks, Roots and Herbs.

Etiquette for Widows and widowors.

1t is contrary TO custom TO invite
guests to the marriage of a widow.
Ii widuwer marries young girl
the etiquette is the same as that of
a first marriage. a widow must
marry in the morning early, with
out show, and has only her witness
nesses and those OF her intended.
Her dress must be plain, of quiet
color; black, however, is not admis-
sible. On leaving church the bride
invites 70 breakfast the witnesses
who have formed the party, but no
other guests are invited to this re
past. On the fifteenth day after
the marriage, cards are sent bearing
the new address of the married pair.
A widow never makes wedding calls
after re-marrying. Those who re-
ceIve the cards do the visiting.
There is n month allowed for the re-
turn of cards and visits. When a
single lady Dlarries, after having
passed the usual age for marriage,
the ceremony should be simple and
unobtrusive.-i Demorest's Monthly.

not be so. as it has many qualities
to recommend it for general cultiva-
