How TO MILK.-Tho proper mode of mlks
ing is to take tho tcat in tho entire hand, and
aitcr pressing it upward that it may be filled
from tho capacious milk reservoir above, to
compress it first ut tho base, between tho
thumb and fore finger, then successfully by
each Of tho three succeeding fingers until
completely cmpticd. Some mixers seize the
root Of the tcat between the thumb and fore
finger and thon drag down until it slips out
Of their grasp. In this way the teats and
udder arc both often severely injured. The
COW should always be MIXED regularly and
tho milk entirely drawn off. If tho milking
is properly aud seasonaby dono, thero is
little danger of disease Of tho teats or uddcr.
More cows are ruinod from faults of this kind
than from oil other causes, and our readers
will do we'll to avoid them.

An Astounding Discovery.
From the London AthenRum,


A correspondent has sent us a startling
letter fiom Miss NJ. Belham- Edwards,
from which We give an extract: II SEND
you the following particulars of recent
scientific invention, just patented, and
destined without doubt to play very i'm
portant part in our economic history. I
think it must be regarded as solution
for once and for all of tho great coal
question, not only among ourselves, but
abroad. NJ. Bourbonnel of Dion, the
celebrated lion and panther slayer, light
cd upon the following discovery by haz
ard, and brought it to entire workable
perfection. He discovered, by means OF
two natural substances, 1nexhaustible in
nature, the means of lighting and main
tanning fire without wood or coal; a fire
lnstantaneoualy lighted and extinguishcd,
lire causing no dust, smoke or trou-
BILE, fire costing one-tenth ut most
OF ordinary fuel, and, what is more Won
derful still, a fire the portion OF which
answering to our fuel is everlasting, that
is to say, would last lifetime. Mr..
Bourbonnel's invention comprehends both
stove and fuel. The fires would be on
the minutest scale or on the largest. They
would be used for heating a baby's food
or for roasting an OK. Being lighted in
simultaneously they will be great econo-
my Of time. Mr.. Bourbonnel at once
p:tented his invention, and body of en-
gineers and savants from Paris visited
him and pronounced his discovery one of
the most remarkable Of the age. He has
several offers for the purchase of the pat
ent in France, but wants to sell it in En-.
gland, his own occupation being in an.
other line: Any English gentleman o,
firm wishing to see his fires or stoves
could do so by writing to him day or
two before hand. His address is NJ
Bournell, Dion.

no Wateretl the hills from his chambcl g.
Ps. civ, -.
Oh! the ripping and the foaming,
Failing not from dawn till cleaning,
Where the rapids arc descending as for ages
they have done;
On each downward platform taking
Just moments rest, then breaking,
Into sweet enchanting laughter at.thc glccful
triumph won;
AL the latent echoes waking
With the fun!
Sweeping from their rocky portal
ROBBED at once in light immortal,
Bringing infinite rcvealings from the silcnccs
profound;
And the longer beaches brighten,
As the showers OF brilliant dcwdrops on their
sliycry slopes rebound;
Falling into gems that tighten
All arOunu
When the sunbeams come unbiddcn
To behold the marvel hidden,
All the waters take them captive, to ads II
their raiment white;
But the rainbow tells the wonder
or the radiance lying under,
And the sun in regal beauty stoops to claim
Till the ripplcs fall asundcr-
Lost in light!
IN the brink the moses gliStcn,
And the grasses stop to listen
To the never-cnding music of the waters flash
ing by;
Overhead the clm-trccs stately,
In their hearts rejoicing greatly
At the springs Of welcome GOODNESS that be-:
meath their strongholds lie,
Spread their myriad leaves scdatcly
To the sky.
When at night the stars assemble
In the far blue heavens, and trcmblc
At their own reflected splcndor, on the tor
rent borne away,
Then the laughing waves discover
How the Inoon-carth's timid lover
Watches for the perfect mirror they have
broken in their play;
Watchcs-with the stars above her
Till the day.
Through all seasons varied phases,
Still the waters speak their praises
or the Power that sweeps them outward in
their fullness to the deep;
All their rush and tumu]t guiding,
For each drop path dividing,
Till i'll far-01 brcadths of ocean each It's dcs

Years after, when miles and miles
away from that spot, I could shut my eyes
on hazy afternoon, with tive.o clock sun
dipping towards the tree.tops, and sec a
little girl, lovely as the blush of the sun
set, gazing pcnsively at a bee upon CON-
mon roadside flower.
"Did it sting you?' I asked, assuming
a very sympathetic air. Q
mo; bees never sting me, and I've
watched them dance on the thistle heads
all summer"
II did not know that you loved them
Most girls are afraid OF bees"
Yes, but am not"
She turned from the rank patch of
thistlcs, and slowly resumed her walk
homcward. When we came to the lane
where our paths separated, she put up
her little arms to be taken and kissed
before leaving me, as she said, ''to come
back no more.'
''Be good to yourself, Eddie, and next
winter, if any little lonely Adelians come,
cold and frightened, to the little red
school-house yonder, be kind to them as
you were to me-"
Something chokcd in my throat, and I
could not say word; but I kissed her
more than once; and after she had slipped
from my arms, and was twenty rods awav
from me, sat down and cried like =
baby, because was never to sec Adc-

The termination of that deadly strug.
gle was brought about in manner as
marvellous and unlocked for as could well
have been imagined.
Some fifty souls, say, were travelling in
that train, all save one in perfect security
Jacks life alone was in danger, when, 10
ny one OF those marvellous condolences
which do happen at times Ill the supreme
moments of existence, the rescue came
but at the cost of many life, which lust
before would have seemed worth treble
the purchase of Jacks.
At the very instant that his might have
depended upon another tightening prir
or two from the hands of a maniac ::
trlghtful catastrophe occurred to the train
The tier OF an engine wheel broke. and
half dozen carriages were hurled down
astcep cmbankmcnt. The scene that sue.
cceded is, unhapplly, of too common an
occurrence to need more than a word Of
reference here. Seven passengers were
killed outright; double that numbe,
slightly or badly hurt; the remainder
escaping, US by miracle, with nothing
else than a severe shock.
My friend was among the shaken. HI

to a soft grassy spot, half-bank, half

But WHAT followed it was that which
caused the suffering, that wrought til,
terrible change in Jack.

night he strove, foremost among those
