right quantity. Put to the water l quart of
good clear salt, l pint of molasses, ! pound of
brown sugar, and 4 good sized red peppers.

off all scum that may arise, and set aside to
get cold. Pack the tongues in large jar or

smooth stone, sufficiently heavy to keep the
tongues firmly under the brine. Leave them
in it IL days, then take them out, hang them
up to drain. Then hang them to smoke two
days, and when dry put, them in canvas bags
or Aour.sacks, that, after being emptied, have
been washed, dried and laid away for just such
purposes. Hang these bags with the tongues
in cool, dry place, where the sun will not
strike on them. When one is needed for use
wash it in two or three waters, put over the
fire in cold water, and let it boil slowly, or a
steady simmer, six or eight hours, till quite
tender, keeping it we'll covered with water
while cooking, adding boiling water when the
first boils away. When tender take it out, set
aside to cool, but never take off the skin till
needed for the table.

HINTS ON HORSE KEEPING.

The wide stall is luxury, and ought to be
six or, even ten feet wide, if room can ibe
spared. Loose boxes are important forshor-
ses of great value in such stalls they can
get perfect repose by changing their position,
recover from the fatigue of a hard days drive
and be ready for their task the next day:
The food best adapted to the horse is oats and
hay of the best quality, occasionally varied
with bran mash, with turnips o.. carrots as
an Alternative. The growth and development
of bone and muscle depend greatly on the food
they eat. 1t is important to select such as
contains all the elements needed to form the
bone and muscle of the horse. 1t is self-evl'
dent that the nutritive matter supplied by the
food must be equal to the exhaustion, or nat
ural waste of the body, to keep up the condl-
ton.
The horse that is about to be driven on
journey needs hardening by exercise-prepa,,
ring by sweating out the body to purify and
increase the circulation Of the blood, and also
by hand-rubbing the legs to make them firm
and elastic-a preparation, in some degree,
corresponding with that attained by the horse
that is daily driven on the road for ordinary
work. For one week previous to the start,
they need daily exercise, commencing with
eight or ten miles, and gradually increasing
to twenty per day. This exercise with appro-
pirate food, will harden their muscles, strength
en- their limbs and prepare them to perform
their tasks, without giving out on the road,
materially declining in flesh, or seriously ex.
hausting their physical powers. :,
If we perform long drives with horses ac'
Il 3boc frop
sition from Incidence to great exertion will
relax their muscles, weaken their joints, de.
nress their spirits and break down their con-
stitution. The leading cause of so many val
liable horses being spoiled by long drives is
from being short Of work. They are not pre-
pared for such severe exertions. Condition
will prepare them to perform their work cheer
fully, last out with sound limbs, and preserve
their constitutional vigor for future usefulness.

BY THE ROADSIDES.

As one walks along the roads in the coun-
try, if he is an obseryant man, ne may learn
many lessons of value The dwellers along
the roadsides may not suspect that their char
acters may be read very plainly by the con-
dition of the road in front of their houses,
and the appearance of their surroundings.
But it is so, and every man has certificate
of character, exhibited at his door, or. upon
his fence, for the passersby to read. For in
stance, Just now we may see roadsides white
with the wild carrot or other pestiferous weeds:
This shows that the owner is careless and
thriftless, because he is suffering injurious
weeds to multiply, and lay up future trouble
for him; that he is selfish and regardless Of
what is due to his neighbor, because he is act
ually injuring the latter's property by stock
ing it with weeds, and laying up trouble for
him as we'll as for himself; also that he is not
q law-abiding, or at least, that he is Thought
less citizen, because he observes neither the
written law which, in nearly every State, OBJ
liges every owner or occupier of property to
destroy injurious weeds upon his premises {;
nor the unwritten law of justice and kindness
to his neighbor, which would impel him to
"do as he would be done BY" So it is with
everything about the house. the gardens, the
yards, barns, stables and fields. A mans
character is set forth by these as plainly as if
it were printedIin the largest type, and hung
up for public inspection upon his front fence
Actions speak louder than words, and by our
works we shall be judged.
The moral of this little homily is so plain
that nothing further need be said as to its ap-
plication. Let every man judge himself by
it, however, and not his -neighbor: Then
some good may result. And this is the very
time when action in this regard will be the
most efective.-Rural New Yorker. -,

A SABBATH DESPISER AND HIS DOOM
The very marked dispensations cf Providence
often give striking answers to The question,
Who hath hardened himself against God and
prospered? Here is one ;wHich he who runs
may read, and which ought to make every
violator of the law of God tremble under the
assurance that day of retributiOn will come.
Many, will, remember itle great moral battle
That lad to be fought during the Centennial
year. in this city, for the preservation of the
Sabbath. Afterwards, also, when the Perma-
nent Exposition was opened, just as deter
mined efforts, were made to secularize: the
Lords day. Foremost in various ways in all
the efforts, wasy the President .Yf one of the
most prominent of the city pass 3nger railway
companies, Mr.. John S. Mortol. Talented,
sllrewd, energetic and unscrupullus, he SEEM
ed to set himself specially to encourage and to
bring into active operation whatever would
practically abolish the Sabbath in our midst.
And in the pride of his heart he self-con6dent-
ly seemed forrest himself on What9ie evident
ly believed his throne of power, and practical
ly said Il am, and besides me. there is no
other.'. ,.in'..t-- %. .-,l... ... .. ,'.':....
But time passed on. His trillmphing was
terribly short. In the very height of his great
ness he was found to have embezz.led the funds
of the company over which he presided. He
was left to himself, and fraudulently issued al
most millions of stock. He became the dupe
of spiritualists, and probably the tool and the
victim of designing bad men. In a word, he
utterly fell, and now has been sentenced to
ten years. imprisonment, in solitary confine-
ment in the Eastern Penftentiary of Pennsyl-
vania. He is adjudged a feloni of the most
aggravated character, and has received a SEN
tence which is everywhere pronounced just.
From splendid mansion, with costly equip
ments of every description, on ore of our most
public streets, he has passed to a PRISONS soli-
tary cell. From moving in aristocratic cir
cles, and aspiring to the Governorship of the
State, hehas goheto wear al fel6n's dress, and
bear convct's brand.
Is there not something in all this TO tell that
there is God, that judgeth rghteously in the
earth that he will make the way of trans
gressors to be hard-and that them that hon
or him he will honor, and they that despise
him and his Saboaths shall be lightly esteem

IT Vas ALL WRoNa.-A Dutch clergy
man was in the habit of giving out two lines
of hymn at time for the choir to sing.
One dark, rainy day he could not see the
words, and said, "Mine eyes ish too dim, /
cannot see; I left my specks at home" J."
The choir, supposing this to be hymn,
struck up to the time of common metre. The
old fellow bawed out, "Mein Gott! Mein
Gott dat ish, no hymn. I only said mine
eyes vas dim" The choir sang these two
lines, setting the old fellow almost crazy.

AN UNINTERRUPTED STORY.

Old Bodkin likes game Of euchre, but he
is such an inveterate narrator of pioneer Incl
dents, that he often makes it unpleasant for
others by trying to play and tell a yarn at
the same time. The other evening he began
a story just as he and three others sat down
to play a social game. He said "It was in
1849 that family by the name Of Gobins
emigrated from Greenbrier County, Va.-cut
for deal-to the glorious West-shucks, I nev-
er could cut anything bigger than ten-spot
There were seven in the family; three girls
and four boys. The girls were bright-eyed,
resy-cheeked-I pass-graceful gazelles and
two of the boys were big enough to handle
their axes and rifes-d'ye eturn it down? I'll
make it clubs-and could help their old ia
ther right smart chance-an ace beats q
king every time. Play on a heart. They
wound slowly over the Alleghanies, and final
ly in May, 49, crossed the Ohio Valley-good
enough! Hearts are better'n trumps, but
haven't any left-heading straight for Arkan:
saw, intending to make that territory. Hold
on ! you don't play that on US; my partner
trumped the last trick-their future home
take it up; best we've got; lead partner, ac-
cording to Hoyle. They got away out there
in the wilderness, and the weather was getting
hot-that's it. Now we'll come the cross lift
on EN-! Play on that bower! One evening
they stopped near where spring gushed up
that makes us couple more Dog my pic.
ture if it woulden't bea good joke if we could
skunk 'em the first game. They thought it
would be good place to camp, and the old
man unhitched the horse-well what a fool
ish play that was of mine; it let 'em have one
on our deal-and one of the boys ran to the
spring to get drink-pass-it was one of the
hot springs-play, Cap. don't be so undeci-
ded-and when he touched lips to the water
that's our trick-he bounced up and yelled to
the old man-whose ace is that? Ell? I'll
salivate it with trump-yelled to the old
man, hitch up and drive on, dad Hell's not
half mile from here! How did you come
by these points Seems to me you're good
counters if you can't play much. Well, sir,
it had the effect to-diamonds? haven't any ;
pass-change the old mans opinion Of Arkan-
saw and what led? Spades? Have a little
one-he started across the wilds for Oregon"
Thus old Bodkin continued the same nara
tive through thirteen games, and when the
party arose from the table at ten o'clock, Bod
kin had the Gobins family away out beyond
the alkali desert in the sage brush, with their
horses stolen and two of the girls captured by
the Indians-the boys following the Piutes
with their rifles, and the old woman raving
maniac And yet the story was not more
than half completed when the party walked
off on the narrator.
