would be probably safer to run barefoot
through the streets and dry our wet feet
on warm carpet when we get nome,
than to sit hours with this dampness
rising through our soles. A mother OF
a family who has successfully raised
healthy children told us that her plan
while her boys were young was to dress
them warmly, especially their feet and
chests, and let them take free exercise
in any weather. But she always exact
ed that they should come home when
damp OF chilled. She ordered them to
run home through any rain rather than
take refuge anywhere after they had
been rained upon, and upon reaching
home, if cold or damp, she always su-
perintended their putting on warm
stockings and dry shoes. We can offer
no better suggestion. ''Fresh air with
due caren is the precaution against con-
sumption. In conclusion, we VIII ADD

No Insurmountable Difficulties.

1t follows, perhaps, from this, that
the size of an obstacle varies in proper
ton to the desirability of the object
which lies beyond it. A day which to
the mind of the average small boy
would appear altogether too inclement
tojustify the being sent to school would,
under other circumstances, seem emf
nently adapted for going a-fishing. AS
for children of a larger growth, physi-
ologists can hardly have failed to notice
the extraordinary proclivity of the hu
man race to take cold on Sundays.

principle holds in regard to other mat

other side of an obstacle is something
about which we have little enthusiasm,
the obstacle takes on colossal proper
tons and it doesn't take long for us to
persuade ourselves that it is insupera-

Lincoln to Hooker.

A LETTER WHICH HAS NEVER BEFORE
BEEN MADE PUBLIC.
The Providence Journal prints a let
ter which it says was written by Presl-
dent Lincoln to Gen. Hooker, just after
the latter took command of the army OF
the Potomac. The president had shown
it to a mutual friend, to whom, after
Hooker received it, the latter said: cit
is such letter as father might have
written to his son. And yet it hurt
me-" Then, dashing the water from
his eyes, he said: "When have been
to Richmond, | shall have this letter
printed" That was more than Is years
ago, and the letter has just now seen
the light of day:

ER-General l have placed you at
the head of the army of the Potomac.
Of course, l have done this upon what

believe you do not mix politics with
your profession, in which you are right.
You have confidence in yourself, which
is valuable, if not an Indispensable,
quality. You are ambitious, which,
within reasonable bounds, does good
rather than harm; but l think that
during Gen. Burnside's command of the
army you have taken counsel of your
ambition and thwarted him as much as
you could, in which you did great
wrong to the country and to most
meritorious and honorable brother Off
Ger. have heard in such way as to
believe it, of your recently saying that
both the army and the government
needed dictator. OF course it was not
for this, but in spite of it that | have
given you the command. Only those

military success, and | will risk the die
tatOrship. The government will sup
port you to the utmost of its ability,
which is neither more or less than it has
done and will do for all commanders
much fear that the spirit which you
have aided to infuse into the army of
criticiZing their commander and with
holding confidence from him, will now
turn upon you. shall assist You as
far as | can to put it down. Neither
you nor Napoleon, if he were alive
again, could get any good out of an
army while such spirit prevails in it.
And now beware of rashness. Beware
of rashness, but with energy and sleep
less vigilance, 90 forward and give us
victories. Yours very truly,

ga young fellow was condemned to
be executed. During his incarceration
he promised his body to the prison ply

used. When he was dead the physician
determined to try an electrical machine
on him, but never having handled one,

piled electricity to various parts of the
body, and whenever it was applied the
body moved. At length we sent cur
rent along the spine from end to end.
The fellow was lying on a table-as
long as-well Cooking around the room)
and rather longer than any you've got
here. He sat up; opened his eyes
slowly; shut them; then opened them
wide. The physician, who owned the
body, and two young men who were
helping him, started affrighted for the
door,

HEN MANURE.-Hen manure is the
most valuable of fertilizers of grass
lands, or fol lawns. 1t should be mixed
and finely incorporated with loan in
equal parts aud scattered broadcast.
1t gives an astonishing brightness and
strength to the grass. Do not sell good,
pure hen manure for one dollar barrel
and then use the money for buying fer
tillizers from abroad. 1t is worth some
thing to make the exchange. Hen ma
nure is like gold, always valuable in
any market. 1t may be alone, or with
other fertilizers, according to conveu-
fence. 1t can seldom be worth more in
any way than when sprinkled in the
hill to give crops vigorous start in
life.-NelV England Farmer.

RAISING SoUAsHEs.-One of our old
subscribers, Mr.. j. T. Chandler, of Ev-
erett, states that he has adopted the
following method of raising squashes,
and assures us that since practicing it
he has never in a single instance failed
of a good crop: He first digs a small
hole for each hill, into which he puts a
liberal quantity of manure and covers
it to the depth of an inch or two with
soil. The whole is then covered with
coal ashes, with which the hole is filled,
and the soil on the manure covered.
The seed is planted, or plants set, in
the ashes directly over the manure. AT
each hoeing fresh supply of ashes is
scattered around the plants, which are
thus kept entirely free from grubs,
while in his experience every hill plant
ed without ashes will be destroyed
