HOME AND FARM.


A DRESSING FOR SLAw.-Cut your
cabbage very fine, salt, and add little
sugar; allow to stand twenty minutes
then take a cup one-third full of vine
gar, fin with sweet cream, and pou
over it.
PLAIN CUsTARD.-Beat six eggs with
six tablespoonfuls of sugar for FIVE min
utes; add one teaspoonful of lemon or
vanilla essence, or one saltspoonful of
powdered cinnamon, and one quart OF
milk. Use for apple pudding.
RICE PIE.-To pint of boiled rice
add pint of rich cream, two eggs, salt,
and little mace. Let these ingredients
be well mixed, spread half the quantity
in deep baking dish, lay pieces OF
chicken upon it and cover them with
the remainder of the rice, and bake in
a hot oven.
MEAT can be made tender, it is said,
by softening the fibers with vinegar. A
steak turned over four or five times in a
couple of hours on plate containing a
little vinegar, salad oil and pepper, will
become tenderer and be far better than
If battered with arolling-pin or cleaver,
which forces all the juices out of it.
TREATMENT OF HEAvEs.- Heaves is
frequently caused by indigestion, and at
other times by the introduction of dust,
spores of mold, and other irritating
substances from the food into the lungs
and air passages. In the former case a
change of food and mild purgative, or
even an alkali, as ime-water or soda,
will be effective. In the latter case, the
removal of the cause and the use of hy-
poSulphite of soda in one-ounce doses to
neutralize the effect of the absorption of
the diseased matter, will generally allay
the trouble. Horses troubled with
heaves are almost always benefited by
feeding on soft food of a nutritious and
not a bulky character, thus avoiding
Times.
"WATER FOUNDER" is not essential
ly different from grain founder in horses.
In the initial stages poultice the feet and
give full doses of sedatives-one to two
drachms of lobelia daily for two or three
days, and renew the poultices three
times q day until Inflammation has sub
sided. Remove the shoes with care,
give the horse good bed, and encour-
age him to lie down as much as possible.
Laxative medicines may also be given
with benefit. Aloes are best for the
horse. AS soon as the fever has been
subdued, walk the animal about on soft
ground, but do not attempt it while the
feet are SO tender as to give him pain.
When the feet have again become some
what free from soreness, put on the bar
shoes slightly fastened, if in winter, but
in summer leave the feet bare and turn
out in pasture free of stone, and if
somewhat moist and wet, so much the
better. In some cases it will be neces-
sary to open small holes in the hoof or
bottom of the foot to let out pus that
may form within. Treatment, how
ever, must be varied according to the
severity of the case.-N. Y. San.

hands to. Both are alive now and are
deserving of fair share of immortal
fame. Hays had most of his toes frozen
off at the second joint winter or two
afterward, as he had become over-confi-
dent and thought he could risk any
thing in the mountains. He was be-
lated one winter night crossing the
"Mountain Brow" distant some forty
miles east of Eureka Valley. Over the
ffBrow'' swept the coolest of winds and
Hays betook himself for shelter to sort
of cave, and when he emerged in the
morning he was as good as toeless. In

LIFE AND DEATH.

l.
o LIFE o Death! Ye dread mysterious two,,
Battling us from the cradle to the bier: am
Phantoms that fill our souls with strrorra
vague fear,
Elusive as the forms that haunt the hro;,,
OF the sick raver. Question we in vain
The lore of all the ages, sage and seer
Toanswer why and who We are, and clear
Inc clouds that round you eyermore remain
Whence come We? Whittier go We? None may
One leads man walking in an idle show
., Along the myriad paths of joy and woe
To where the other waits to bear away
The enfranchised Soul, that chartless Ocean
DER,
To the dim land whence man returns no more.
Life! o Death! How good We are and fair.
As, luminous in the glory Of Gods love,
Ye stand revealed His Angels from abovei
Angels we've entertained, though unaware
The janitors that wait our souls to bear
Through either gate of Being; not to rove
Unguided, but in course prescribed to
move,
Fixed as the planets paths that roll through
In Christs "dear might" your Lord and ours.
now bold
With reverend courage, lol the vail we raise
Erst wrapped around you, and with wonder
ing gaze
Your solemn beauty undismayed behold,
No more dread mysteries, our souls to scare.
Making Life Vanity and Death Despair.

Life is no sleepless dream as poets sing;
Death is no dreamless sleep, as sophists say.
A deeper wisdom tells us, brothers they,
Loving, though parted until Time shall bring
The twain together in their journeyina
To part no more on that supremest day,
When Heaven and Earth and Time shall pass
away,
And Christ shall reign DER all as God and
King.
Yet, till they meet, there stands third be-
tween,
brother, like yet differing from each,
And he is Sleep, whose mission is to teach
What Life's and Deaths less mysteries may
mean
Till, Life's watch DER, we "fall on Sleep" to
spring
To deathless Life through Deaths awakening.

A DOG that had been lost twenty
three days was recently found under a
straw stack, near Warrington, N. j.
He was covered up when the stack was
being made, and had no food or water
during the interval.

hill terrific fire was maintained caus-
ing heavy losses to the contending forces,
until night came, when the firing ceased.
In Company H. Of the 10th Louisiana
Infantry, private soldier O'Donnell,
a brave Irishman, entreated his Captain
to allow him to go between the oppos-
ing lines, that he might bring in q
wounded comrade, named Masterson,
to whom he was greatly attached. The
Captain refused at first, on the ground
that bis duty dictated to him that he
should not expose uselessly the lives Of
bis men. He sympathized deeply with
the wounded man, he said; but the Fed
eral skirmishers would surely ses him
(O'Donnell) and he might be killed
without accomplishing anything for the
relief of his friend.
II will crawl on my hands and knees.
Captain, said O'Donnell; and, Il am
sure they won't see me;' At last the
Captain yielded and the heroic soldier
started on his noble, though perilous
mission. Close to the ground did O'Don.
nell crouch, as be crawled to tho spot
whore lay his wounded comrade. He
had scarcely reached him, when be was
perceived by the enemy's skirmishers,
who opened fire on the two friends.
"For Gods sake" said the wounded sol.
der to his friend, "return to the line
before we are both killed" O'Donnell
obeyed his request and in few minutes
he had reached his company, where in
answer to his Captains anxious inquiry,
he replied in tremulous tone: "The
Yankees saw me, Captain, and l had to
leave poor Masterson there, sir, not be-
fore was wounded myself, for I'm shot
here in the breast and mortally too, sir,
I believe" Alas, twas but too true:
O'Donnell had scarcely finished his
explanation that he had tainted from
loss Of blood. He was carried to the
field hospital where he died in q few
hours, the victim of his noble devotion
to his comrade.
At midnight Johnson's Division fell
back across the Mine Run, having
checked the eremy's advance, at the cost
of eight hundred killed and wounded.
Many deeds of valor add lustre to the
pages of history. Many individual acts
of bravery and devotion have and will
remain untold. Among these none can
surpass the unpretentious self'sacritice
Of o O'Donnell, upon the altar Of friend

An Original Sermon.
"BLOw on YOUR RAMs.HORNs, AND PASS
on"

A friend of ours came in the other day,
bearing the piece of composition we re-
produce below, which he had found
slowed away in a corner, where, in the
course Of few years, it would have
been lost to posterity. After we had
heard it read, we became convinced
that it was an original sermon, the
rsculiar style of which would be ap-
preciated by our readers. We have
thought it proper to publish the pro-
duction, though its author is yet un-
known to fame, with the hope that his
modesty will be overcome when he sees
how much be has won public admira-
ton, and that he will then add further
contributions to oratory and literature !:
,JoshuA 9th Chapter 4th and 5th Verses.
My DEARLY BELOVED BRETHREN-I
have chose this Chapter, as the founda'
ton of MY discourse, for two reasons !;
it is test Of your faith; and suits the
present times. We all talk heap about
faith, now a days, but jeniwine faith is
sceerce article. Let's compare our'n,
with the children of Israel. They was
ordered to take Jericho. 1t was a
strong city, full of armed men and sur.
rounded by a high wall. They was few
in number; faint-hearted-and bodied
too, l guess, for they had been livin
on billed corn three days: they was in a
strange country; rations out: mama
stopped new leader, and he marchin
EN- up agin walled city, a sight harder
to take than any Sherman, or Grant, or
Butler ever took. They saw no prospect
of doin anything what was they to
do! Why nothin but obey orders, and
"Blow on their rams horns" They
knowed enough; they knowed that the
God they professed to trust in, had ap-
pointed Joshua their leader, and they
took it fer granted, that whstsumever
he told EN- to do was right; whether
they seed through it or not. Now if
faith is tho substance of things not
secn," whsr's the sense of hOldin back
till you can see what's acomin ! as q be-
levin christian you cant do no sich
thing: but like those children of Israel
you got ito pass on, and blow with
your rams horns" at the stated time and
place. They all got ready, the priests
took the ark, and before it seven trun-
pets of rams horns. The first day they
marched round, and when they come to
the appointed spot, they blowed with
their rams-horns Didn't see nothin Of
the good Of it, but IS Joshua commanded
they passed on" Second day, round
agin; when they arriv at the same spot,
they "blowed with their rams-horns and
passed on" Third day, fourth day,
fifth day and sixth day, those old chris.
tians marched round the strong city
and "blowed with their rams-horns."
Now they begin to wonder, whar's the
good Of all this msrchin and BLOWN !
Our number il lessenin one drspPin
hero, snether thar; coon we'll oil bs

and how it was all to be-, would that
been trien of their faith (? No,
any brethren, and theirs times now when
we've got to go it blind, elbow on the
rams-horns, and pass on" Many q time
as we open our eyes with the mornin
light, We say, "wbat'u ali become of

The meal is but handful" Well,

every hour counts; never mind your

you'll be . "blowin on your rams-hosns.
When you 90 to church, and they take

and poverty pressen US on all Sides"
Well maybe it is the sixth day with

member the children of Israel, when
they had marched round six times;
they looked at them high walls; they
wasn't cracked; they never seed EN-
even shake; had they any reason for
thinkin they was gwine to fall! No.
Does good old Joshua cheer em up by
ssyin, "jest one time more you've got to
60" No: he increases the task; tells
en- tomorrow is the seventh day, and
you must march round seren times!
Now don't you feel for en-: Cant You
picture their hopeless distress That
wasn't all, they wasn't to say one word
not to speak till Joshua told EN- to
speak! Now days, if any Of Us has
troubles, we murmur agin providence;
complain OF our neighbors; and seem to
forgt all about having any rams
horns" to blow on. Brethren, cheer up;
some Of US is on the seventh trip, Of
the seventh day, round Jericho and
the time amt Tar on WheD the PrleSt,
will "blow on the rams-horns' for the
last time, and the people will all be
commanded to "shout for the Lord hath
given you the city" Then, farwell to
trials; farwell to hard times; fsrwell
to sickness and death; but let me still
keep my "rams-horns," they'll bring to
mind the faith that triunphs over all.
Many of you all that's used to organs
and sich like, may think rams-horns
was mighty poor music: but it fetched
the walls of Jericho down, and sounded
sweet in the ears Of the Children Of
Israel.

"CoLLATERAL."

The other day one Of the postoffice bvi
gade of boot blacks desired to raise .
loan of eight cents, and after some look
ing around he found Little English, who
was perfectly willing to advance the
amount, providing he was secured. The
borrower lad no collateral, and in this
emergency the advice Of Jack Shepherd
was called for.
Easiest thing in the world when you
understand finance, replied Jack. "You
want to borrow eight centse"

"Well, you hand over ten ceEts as Sc
curity that you will pay it back"
The two sums changed hands, and the
borrower scratched his heal and slowly
asked:
"How does this come! | haven't got
as much as had before borrowed any"
Then the others scratched their heads
and looked puzzled, but Jack suddenly
caught tho idea.
"It's the collateral business that does
it," be confidently announced. "It's a
long word and liable to shrinkage, and
if you are only two cents short you've
come out awful lucky. Last time l
