Death from Corn Fodder.

There have been many cases in
the States of sudden death among
cattle that have caused great alarm.
At first smut was supposed to be the
cause Of the trouble, but analysis has
proved that smut is not injurious,
and a post-mortem examination has
shown in many instances hard
mass of hasps in the stomach. If it
should be proved that it is unsafe to
let cattle loose in field of corn stalks
it would be serious matter to stock
raisers.

Saturday Night.

Another week, with all its fever
dreams, has gone down into the dead
past. The funeral drum of Time has
beat the grave-march of seven more
days, Their events alone live now
in the minds of men. At the mid
night hour we lay our left hand on
the coflin-lid Of the dead days, and
stretch our right, to rock the cradle
of the new born week that come
with the sun in the morning. Sat
urday night! Who does not welcome
it? 1t is the curtain lifting itself
from the couch of repose, the day

lakes his brow of care, lets drop his
labor-hand, and bounds homeward,
with bouyant heart and elastic tread.
His heart love and nestlings are
there. Happy man, happy home,
and happy souls. A week is gone,
duty is done. Awaiting his coming
the dear one has the hearth a little
brighter, though it be always bright,
and she smiles a little sweeter,
though her smiles are always sweet,
tonight. The week is past and their
tasks are done. She has the smile,
the caress, the love-word for him who
through the weeks has faithfully
fought his life.battles, aud with these
she greets his coming, and he, and
each one, feels that she before him is
the prettiest and best wife in the
world, because she is his world. All,
well, this is as it should be. Away
yonder, across the Gulf "that frets
and foams and roars between" is
one who would greet our coming
thus. Her soul blossoms are waited
across the wide waters for us. In
the distant city, the cradle of the
sea, ere lulled to sleep by the waves
that lash her Island home, she
thong ut Of US. Before she gathered
up the long dark tresses, parting
from her pure and beauteous brow,
and laid herself down to repose, she
prayed for US, and in her sweet and
holy slnmbers she will dream of US.
She loves us-we love her. And
this, too, is well. The clock has
struck twelve; it is no longer Satur-

Keep them Clean.

There is a general impression that
by means of sheepa great deal may
be made out Of nothing. We may
frequently see absurd Statements to
the fact that Sleeps foot turns all
to gold" and that there is no reader
or surer way to fertilize barren
field than to put flock of sheep to
pasture on the briars and weeds in
it; that in effect, sheep will live up
on the poorest food and make the
richest manure, and are thus the
very best stock a farmer can keepup
on his farm. But those "who have
been there know better. "Sheep
are always an unhappy Aock," and
many a man who has been deluded
into keeping sheep in the vain hope
of finding gold in their foot tracks,
has found out the truth about it.

ing shepherds that there is no other
domestic animal that needs better
care or food, profitable thrift, than
sheep; that out of their finely grind
ing manure mills comes nothing that
is not first put into the hopper, and
yet with proper care and skill, a well
selected stock of the right kind of
sheep in the right place, can be made
to pay 100 per centum on their cost
per year. It is true that a flock of
sheep will clear field Of weeds, briars
and rubbish, and will enrich il; but
it will not live upon these alone
To relish this rough heritage, the
sheep must be fed literally on sup
Elementary food, such as bran, meal,
cut clover, grass, or green corn fodder,
and always pint day per head of
linseed oil.cake. Then, with thisal
10y, the sleeps foot will take on a
golden tinge, and will edge with gold
the farmers pocket, by making his
poor lands rich, giving at the same
time a lamb or two, and fleece every
year. A field may be enriched too,
by sowing rape seed, at the rate of
of about peck per acre, and when
the crop is ola thrifty growth, the
sheep may be turned in to eat it
down, through the late fall and early
spring, and thus fitting it for II crop
of corn, oats, or rootsnext year. But
the sheep must have their pint per

What He Found.


He was saving man, with an eye
on the main chance and the sidewalk.
He was walking down the street
with several friends. He saw a bit
of green paper in the slnsh. None
of his companions noticed it. NHe
excused himself and stepped aside.
The walk was crowded with pedes-
TRANS. He kept his eye on the bit
Of green paper, which ever andanon
was stepped upon and ground still
further into the snow by the feet of
the careless crowd. Visions of ten
dollar greenbacks, floated before him.
1t might be ten, it might be a fifty,
it might be a hundred dollar BILL
A momentary opening in the crowd
enabled him to swoop down upon the
treasure that was his by right Of dis
coyery. He gobbled it up. If it
proved to be small bill, he would
keep it; if a large one, he would adj
vertise it inthe papers-and get a re-
ward. With hands tightly clasped
he hurried to an adjacent stairway
to size his pile. AS he unfolded his
prize with trembling fingers he found
it to be a cancelled revenue stamp
from a tobacco package. With un-
steady steps and haggard face he
Stumbled into convenient drug
store, and, with one hand firmly
clasped upon his equator, gasped
family for glass of water in which
to drown his feelings.
Francis Atkins was a porter at the
palace gate at Salisbury from the
time of Bishop Burnet to the period
Of his death in 1851, at the age Of
l0l years. 1t was his office every
night to wind up the clock, which
he was capable of performing regu,
larly till within a year of his de.
cease, though on the summit of the
palace. In ascending the lofty fight
of stairs he usually made a halt a! a
particular place and said his even
ing prayers. IIe lived irregular and
temperate life and took great deal
of exercise; he walked well, carried
his frame upright and well balanced
to the last.
